customers is one dollar per month, II us
cd up to ten o'clock p. NJ, and s1.25 per

The Presque Isle Advance, Republi.
can paper, has been purchased by Fred.
erick Platz, who will change the name to
the Pressure Isle Democrat. Mr.. Larke's
reason for selling is on account Of the
State going Democratic, and his prospect
OF losing the tax sale advertising. The
Advance has been good local paper, and
was managed by Mr.. Larke for IS years.
He promises to start Republican paper
some time in the future, which we under.
stand to mean that he will buy back the
late Advance plant, If the Republicans
should be successful two years from now
and restore its Republican name. The
paper will advocate Democracy the next
two years.

Last Wednesday fifty jars of whitefish
eggs we're taken from the fish hatchery
In this city by the U. s. fish commission
car. The spawn have been taken to
Washington, and some Of them will be
sent to New York State. In the Alpena
hatchery there are yet 141 jars OF white
fish spawn, containing about 30, ZOO, 900
eggs. That number is all the employees
can attend to when the fish begin to
hatch, as some Of the fish plants have to
be transporteda long distance for the pur-
pose Of planting in the lake waters. II
the fish could all be planted in the waters
adjacent to Alpena, the young fish could
be easily attended to, but the policy Of
the Fish Commission is TO plant the fish
In various parts Of the lake, and some go
to Lake Michigan. Only short time
clapses from the time the eggs begin to
hatch until they are all Matched, and they
can not be kept many days in the tanks,
besides the tank room Is limited.

L. N. Sailing, lumber baron Of M anis-
tee, is behind scheme to build railroad
across the State from Grand Rapids to
Alpena. The plan is to use the Grand
Rapids d Indiana road to Cadillac, cross
the Michigan Central at Grayling, and run
straight to Alpena. 1t is about 100 miles
from Alpena to Grayling, and almost the
entire distance the railroad would run
through an unbroken wilderness Of pine
and hardwood. In Missaukee county it
would pass through solid tract OF about
Is miles Of the finest hardwood in the
State. One firm owns about 300, 900, 900
feet Of pine on the proposed line, and an
other firm has about 100, 900, 900 feet, be-
sides smaller tracts owned by others. 1t
would also give northeastern Michigan
direct connection with Chicago, and there
by work great harm to Saginaw and Bay
City, to which this vast territory is now
tributary. Evening News.

GUTHRIE, 0. T., Sept. 18.-A deputy
sheriff, just arrived, brings news OF a
race war in progress on the line of the
Iowa reservation. The town of Langston
was founded several months ago, and is
inhabited solely by negroes. There are
several thousand of them there, and
more arriving daily on the line of the
new lands. The negroes contemplate
settling in body in the Cimmaroon
valley as soon as the lands are opened.
A gang of cowboys from the Cherokee
strip also have their eyes on the
locality, and say any negro who
attempts to settle there will be killed.
Yesterday the cowboys visited Lang
ston, got into row and attempted to
shoot Eggleston, editor of the Herald.
Last night they returned, all drunk, and
fired score of shots into a crowd OF
negroes on the streets. Several received
slight wounds. The cowboys left swear
ing they would return today and wipe
out the town. The negroes have all
armed themselves, and if they do return
many will likely be killed. Officers have
left for the scene.

SPENCER, Iowa, Sept. 1S.-The largest
Democratic demonstration in the his
tory of Northwestern Iowa was present.
ed in a meeting here this afternoon. An
address was made by Congressman Will
liam Springer, prominent candidate
for speaker of the Fifty-second congress.
The counties of this region, thirteen in
number, composing the eleventh dis
trict, have, with few exceptions, hereto
fore given heavy Republican majorities,
constituting the Republican stronghold
of Iowa. Spencer is in the heart OF the
region, and until the visit of Springer
no Democratic orator of national promi
nence had addressed the people Of this
stronghold. Springer held the earnest
attention OF his audience for an hour
and half, while he discussed the issues
of national politics. His speech was
chiefly devoted to the tariff question
and criticism OF the present Republican
administration.

PARIS, Sept. 1S.-The whole press of
this city condemn Emperor Williams
recent speech at Erfurt, in which it is
reported he alluded to Napoleon I. as
the 'Corsican parvenu."
lie Paris says: ellis violent attack
on a man of genius and greatness like
Napoleon will have no diplomatic re-
suits. 1t simply reveals the character
of the monarch who seizes every occa-
sion to revile France and hasten re-
venge."
LeJour says: "The speech proves that
recent events have rudely dispelled the
emperor's dreams. He wants Europe
to be blindly submissive to the Prus-
sian hegemony, and finds himself con-
fronted by nations which have revived
and developed themselves, and which
laugh at his threats"
La France says "This time it is not
we who can be accused of taking re-
venge, 1t is the German emperor who
reminds us that armies are the thing of
the day. His remarks are an impudent
outrage on the patriotism of a great
people,

the famous grape growing sections Of
Spain, Italy, France and Germany and
am convinced that inside of ten years
the old world win have to rely upon
this country almost entirely for its
supply of first-class wines. l had read
good deal about the devastation among
the European vineyards caused byphyl-
loxera and other diseases, of the vine,
: but had no conception OF how COM
pletely paralyzed the grape growing in
dustry is in Europe, until made the
trip. In France and Italy nearly three
fourths OF the vineyards have been alto
gether wiped out by phylloxera within
five years, and the remaining one-fourth
of acreage is rapidly succumbing to the
; plague. Five years ago Spain produced
six times the amount of grapes harvested
from last years crop, and the situation
in Germany is as bad. 1t will not be
long before the United States will lead
the world in the production of grapes

FRESH COMPLICATIONS.
THE BERING SEA MoDUS vIvENDI
VIOLATED.
Too Many Seals Taken by the North
American Commercial Company-rhe
United States Called to Account by
Great Britain.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British minister, has Off
cially called the attention of the United
States to the violation of the terms of
modus vivendi in effect between the
two countries to catch seal in Bering
sea. By agreement between the two
countries the North American company
leases the seal islands from the United
States, restricting the catch of seal this
year to 1000 skins. 1t is alleged that
the commercial company has exceeded
this catch, thus violating the modus
vivendi, and the British government
has called the United States to account
for it.
Special Agent Williams, of the treas
ury department, has made special re-
port on this branch of the seal question
to the treasury department, and his re-
port was today forwarded to the state
department with the request that its
contents be laid before the British min
lister for transmission to the foreign
Office in London. The report cannot be
accurately ascertained, but it is under
stood he makes the admission that the
North American Commercial company
exceeded the limit of the catch of 1000
skins fixed by the modus vivendi.
The matter is regarded as quite i'm
portant and may lead to the modus
vivendi being declared imperative after
this date.
