WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.--On Oct. 90 the
Brazilian chamber of deputies appro-
priated the sum of 100000 to pay the
expense Of the representation Of that
republic at the worlds Columbian expo
sition.
The president recommended an ap-

preparation before the congress was dis
solved, but the Brazilian minister to

Low Stage of Water in the Great Lakes.
CHICAGO, Dec. 8.-The light rainfall
of the past four seasons has caused an
unusually low stage of water in all Of
the great lakes. This has caused much
trouble to vessels recently at Buffalo,
and vessels with more than thirteen and
one-half feet draught cannot pass
through the 800" canal. The water
in the lake here Tuesday morning WAS
lower than before recorded. This was
due to the low stage of water, primarily,
and secondarily to the fact that there
was strong wind from the south,
which drove the water away from this
end of the lake. The water was 50 low
for short time that the city's water
supply was seriously threatened. It ex-
posed the intakes at the cribs, so the
crib could only get about half of the
usual amount. Then the wind changed
and the water returned to its natural
level, bringing the supply up to the
normal amount.

TANGIERs, Dec. 3.-Painful accounts
are received of the slave traffic in Moroc-
co. The Sultan has lately been making
his annual expeditions against tribes

having made submission without con-
fict In both cases all the women and
children of the conquered tribes have
been carried off captives to be disposed
of as slaves, the sultan and his chief
officers first selecting number of the
more beautiful for their harems.
The sales of the captives have been
conducted pablicly at Fez and other
places, purchasers hocking to the auction
from all parts Of Morocco. The women
and children were sold TO the highest

PARIS, Tex, Dec. 3.--The through

DESTRUCTIVE CARP.

They Kill or Valuable Fish and Starve
 Out the Ducks.
 That evil may result from fish propa- gation as well as good is shown by the importation and matching of carp eggs in California Twenty years ago there were no carp in the streams on this coast. < German named Poppe inn ported of the eggs of this fish from his nat . and about that time and soon had large number of carp in a pond in Sonoma county. He had ex- pected to make fortune by the sale of the fish, but as no one seemed to like them particularly well he had trouble in disposing of them and the fortune has yet to be made. From this one im- pcrtation, it is said, have come all the millions of carp that infest our streams and lakes. Eggs were secured from Poppe for matching carp in private ponds in different parts of the state, ard the fish gradually worked into the streams, until now the Sacramento river, the San Joaquin and many of the creeks flowing into them are teeming with the ugly fish.
 Carp now grow very large, weighing as much as twelve pounds, and some- times even more. The greatest damage which they do, as rule, is in the de- struction of the eggs of fish that are really fit forfood, and also in the de- struction of the source of food supply of aquatic birds Ramon E. Wilson, secretary of the fish commission. says that on the Suisun marshes, which were formerly the best duck hunting grounds in existence, the fowl are now very scarce, and will be much scarcer, owing to the absence of the duck weeds and wild celery, which used to grow there in abundance, and which have been greatly thinned out by the carp, those fish devouring the natural food of the ducks in incredible quantities Francisco Chronicle.
