One Of the greatest industries on the
shores of the Delaware, and one that has
but lately sprung into existence, is the
sturgeon fishing industry. But few
years ago sturgeon were considered to be
the greatest pest in the river,
and menace to all fishermen,
Since then it has been slowly discovered
and is now generally known that the
sturgeon has four good commercial uses.
which is more than any other fish, and
every inch of 1t can be worked into
dollars. The value of the immense fish
does not lie In It's meat, but In Its roe,
its hide and It's oil.
The total value Of this years catch In
the Delaware bay, which is stated as
being the best fishing grounds In the
United States, is estimated at $3.50, 600;
2, 072 men are employed in the work, the
season of which is now nearing its end.
The roe of the fish Is carefully rubbed
through sieve, as soon as 1t is taken
from the belly. Every egg is separated
and cleansed, and then they are placed
in sieves to dry and settle. 1t is re.
salted, placed in kegs and is soon ready
for shipment to Germany and Russia,

and used as a dainty cafe dish. The de-
mand for this article of food is constantly
increasing, and therefore the sturgeon
industry is growing wonderfully. No
more important catches are expected on
the Delaware side of the bay this season,
but every firm engaged In the business
will settle down to work, making prepar.
ations for next season, In dead earnest.
On the Delaware side the amount in
vested in boats, nets and arks this year,
was $40, ,000 and the principal fisheries
were at Bombay Hook, Mispillion,
Bowers's Beach, Mahon's Ditch, Black
bird creek, Port Penn and Delaware City.
The average catch is about sixty per boat
during the season, although one boat

The Decline Of our Merchant Marine.
MIR. Coke stated some Of the reasons why
be opposed the bill TO grant subsidies in
! aid Of the merchant marine. That propo-
sition he said commenced at the surface
and not at the root of tire trouble. The
| cause which had from 1885 60 1889 pulled
down the carrying trade OF the American
Imerchant marine from % percent Of inn
ports and exports TO i6 per cent was not a
surface cause or a casual cause. The first
| great leading cause of the decadence had
/ been the substitution of iron and steel
ships for wooden ships. TO that original
cause had been added the legislation that
| forbade American citizens from buying
foreign built ships aud the tariff legislation
thai tended to isolate the United States
from other nations in regard to interna-
tionnl trade.
MIR. Vests Substitute.
Mr.. Vest offered as a substitute for tho
bill as to the American merchant marine
a provision for free ships to be used only
ia dlre foreign carrying trade, not in the
conbtwise OF lake trade The bills went
over without action.
