GLOUCESTER, Mass, April 20. = The
crew of the echooner Elsie NJ. Smith,
from Western banks, say they called at
Fortune Bay to obtain bait: After buy
ing license they found that, instead Of
being good for one year, it would have
to bo renewed every time they baited,
which would be about every three
weeks, costing 81 for every ton the yes.

they could afford to pay they gave up
the license and the money was returned
While there the cutter Folna came in,
with a judge and court on board pre-.
pared to try any case brought to their
notice Tor a violation OF the Bait Law,
The coast was so thoroughly patrolled,
that everywhere bait. could be procured
was guarded by armed crews. Last year
there was nothing to be compare to this
for strict enforcement, which is caused
by vessels taking more bait than is
needed and selling it to French people
in that locality.
1t is said that Newfoundland had sent
arcpresentatiyeto Westinghouse try and
make satisfactory settlement, but that
he was not noticed and was almost
kicked out OF doors. American fishing
owners bAd said they4wanted no baitirom

The Proposed Cren.atary Ordinance.
To the Editor of the [ntelli1enccr.

The Proposed CreHaa.ory Ordinance,
TO the Editor ofhe InteHigaer. at.s,
SlR:-There appcrrs to be some mis-
understanding on the part OF some
in regard to the terms Of the pro-
posed amendment TO the Crema,orv or.
dlnance. at present the remoya! of
night soil is had ut the expense OF tho
property holder, and the charge permit
ted by ordinance is rs cents per barrel
OF forty gallons removed. No price in
fixed by ordinance for the removal Of
such part Of such substance as may be
removed in carts.
Now, the night soil haulcrs are
licensed without regard to their fitness
or otherwise, to engage in business in
which most favorable opportunities are
afforded for defrauding the people; an
opportunity which is often taken adyan-
tage Of by unscrupulous persons.
The proposed amendment would not
relieve the owners OF property from the
expense OF removal, but would very ma.
terially lessen that expense. Under its
provisions bids for the removal would be
advertised for, and the contract awarded
to the lowest and best bidder. Nothing
in the ordinance can be construed az
binding the city for the cost OF removal
except from premises owned or leasetl
by it. Its passage will save thousands Of
dollars to the people OF Wheeling every
year.
a continuance of the present methods
is directly in the interest OF Il lew indi.
v'duals, and opposed to the interests OF
the whole people, while the passage oi
tho proposed ordinance would bcin the
line ol sound sound business policy.

and ex.President Cleveland, is within a
day or two to have considerable light

Mr.. Fred Crawford, who interviewed
Mr.. Cleveland for the World, has sold
his affidavit rs to what transpired to
Arkell 4 Harrison, Of Frank Leslie's IL

Crawford has severed his connection
with the World for its reputation OF his
interview, and may supplement his afIi.
davlt with personal statement in the
daily press. The affidavit, it is said, will
place the World in an unenviable light,
and will show Mr.. Cieveland's utter.
