Prior to 1871 no shad were found in all the

transported in . couple Of tin cans from the
Hudson river and planted in the Sacramento ct

her Is less than y Of per cent of the number
trrned out into the eastern streams each year
by the United States fish commission. Yet it
has been sufficient to establish the shad on the
west coast, where it has multiplied until it is
one Of the most abundant species.

MR.. GRACE wITHDRAWs.
He Declines to Act Further With the Gran
Monument Association.

Monument Association.
The friction which has existed in the Grant
Monument Association of New York for some
time has eliminated in the sudden resignation
Of ex-Mayor Grace as president and his with
drawal from all connection with the associa-
ton. This step was taken by Mr.. Grace on
November IA, and it has been a well-kept secret
up TO this time.
The immediate reason for ex-Mayor Grace's
resignation is the action Of the executive
committee, Of which Gen. Coils is chairman
and Mr.. Grace ex-ofiicio the head as the presi-
dent In the latter part Of October business
took Mr.. Grace to Washington. He was aware
that an important meeting Of the executive
committee would be held during his absence,
and on inquiry he learned, to his surprise. that
it was proposed to elect by this committe GER
tain new members Of the association. He pro-
tested against it by letter, but during his alb
sence the committee, in spite Of his protests,
acted as it proposed to do.
The affair has caused great deal Of surprise.
as Mr.. Grace is the man whose official action
when mayor created what has become the
Grant Monument Association, and who mas
been ever since very prominently identified
with it.

alton to BE Serious.
A special to the New York World from Rio
Grande City, Texas, says: Intelligence just re-
ceived here from Mier, Mexico, states that
Gen. Nelves Hernandez and command were
ordered into that city Tuesday by Gen. Lorenzo
Garcia and Gen. Hernandez at once was placed
under arrest by Gen. Garcia, who the same
day started the prisoner to the City of Mexico
under strong escort 1t is also reported
that the officers Of Gen. Hernandez regiment

as sequel to the finding of the murdered
Castillo brothers in the Rio Grande river on

Ramon Saens, Santiago Pena Ricardo Lopez
and Pedro Vasquez passed through Camargo
under military arrest on their way to Mata-
moras. They belonged to the State hangers
