TEE MISSISSIPPI IN BAD sHApx
Shoals in the Upper River Have Caused the
stoppage OF Packet Boats.

Shoals In the Upper River Have Caused the
stoppage Of Packet Boats.
81. PAUL, Sept. 6,-Thereis great con-
motion among shippers by way of the Mis-
sissippi river to st. Louis and other points
over the discontinuance Of the running Of
all steamers to st. Paul Charles Il. Petsch,
General manager of the St. Louis, st. Paul
and Minneapolis Packet Company, spoke
bitterly against the handling Of the reser-
voirs and dams at Pokegama, on the Upper
Mississippi, which resulted in low water.
When the appropriations were obtained
from Congress he had understood they were
to be making improvements in interest of
navigation. ALI owners of river boats,
however, had discovered that they were
operated entirely in the interest of lumber
men at Little Falls, Minneapolis, Winons
and La Crosse. As long as the lumbermen
controlled the water, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Illinois and Iowa shippers along the Mis-
sissippi must suffer.
At the office of the Government engi-
neers here it was claimed that there was as
much water in the river between St. Paul
and Winona as a year ago, but that the
trouble was further south; near Dubuque,
Burlington, Rock Island and Davenport,
It was said that the shoals had been grow
ing worse and worse for two years, and that
among them had been extremely
difficult. The boats only run as far north

tion and with the ''freedom of the city" in
our pockets we sailed forth to see.
We went first TO the store of one Coburn,
for more than 20 years resident. He
looked the picture OF health, although his
face was as yellow as that of any Spaniard.
His little box of store, filed with the con-
glomeration of country Pennsylvania
store, is making him rich. He deliberately
adds 800 per cent profit to all goods sold, we
are told. An ordinary lantern costs 50 30.
Our lunches cost US 70 cents each, regular
price 81 90. Canned meats were 80 cents
and IS cents. A bottle of New Orleans
beer was valued at 40 cents. Duties are
high at this point, and this cause may fur
nish some excuse. For ten years Mr.. Co.
burn enjoyed a monopoly of the rubber
business on the Wauks river. Mr.. Green is
now getting rich out of the business.
CORRUGATED IRON ROOFS USED.
We walked through the length and
breadth of the town and found one school
with 20 pupils in q small room listening to
higk-keyed instructions Of their teacher.
About so houses of small size, but built
American style, were passed and perha ps'
20 houses built Indian style, like Mr..
Green's, having pole sides and palm leaf or
monkey tail leaf roofs, were seen. Corfu

red, seemed to be favorite roofing.
Wooden roofs and buildings unless painted
and tarred do not endure the heat and in
sects of the climate. Hence, adobe, brick
and iron are used.
The sights of the village are found along
the water front, where may be seen at all
times many canoes, pit-pans, few sail
boats and yawls Some of the canoes are Of
immense size and sometimes gaily painted,
as well as otherwise ornamented. On this
day we saw one very large canoe, hewn
from q mammoth mahogany tree. 1t was
manned by a dozen ar more Indians just
down from the mountains with load of
rubber This they find a ready market for,
and return loaded with the groceries, pro-
visions and dry-goods of English and Amer
ic8n traders.

One Indian who spoke English well in
formed US that in few weeks he would 60

Government of Nicaragua which persisted
in driving them from one place to another
and in taxing them everything they pos

ident; how to get to him and how much it |
would cost We endeavored to find some |
bananas, plantains, oranges or mangoes, but
found the village entirely destitute owing |
to the hurricane. At 9 o'clock my two
companions retired at Mr.. Green's 1t is a

to the house of the Commadante (Governor)
of the district. On steamboat rockers in
the large and airy Office of this representa-
tive of the Nicaraguan Government we were
welcomed and told to await the pleasure of
the COmmadante. This official soon ap-
peared and bade US IN Spanish to be seated.
Youthful in appearance, smooth faced and
pleasing in countenance, dressed richly and
comfortably in American style, he seemed
much at ease, especially with himself
Through an Englishman, who has lived here
is years, and who acted as interpreter, we
learned from his majesty that he, in the
name Of the great Nicaraguan Government
protested against the right of Honduras to
grant concession of land to certain New
York company, inasmuch as the land in
question had from time immemorial be-
Ionged to this country.
CoERCED BY THE POLICE
Our New York member was requested to
bear this news to the said New York COM
pany, and as the whole force of this Gracias
district consisting of eight policemen, were in
the room armed and dressed in gorgeous
uniforms, our New York member concluded

There is no surer investment to capital
lists or those having surplus moneys than to
build houses and stores at Kensington, the
new manufacturing and residence city on
the A. V. r. R., IS miles from Pittsburg.
Ten large manufactures are now located
which will employ $500 men. Houses and
storerooms are in demand, either to rent or
sell 150 houses are now built and 100 more
in course of construction. Examine the

Employers Like the Chinese.

OTTAWA, ONT, Sept. 5-In the House
Of Commons to-day, on the item of $4,000
for the administration of the Chinese imml-
grafton act coming up, Hon. Mr.. Bowel
said that the American Government was
now in communication with the Imperial
Government, asking that more restrictive
legislation be passed in the Dominion in
regard to the admission of Chinese. He
said that in British Columbia the labor
party were opposed to the immigration of
Chinese more than they have ever been in
the past On the other hand, with the en-
ployers of labor the Mongolians are becom-
ing more popular.

for floor and a deal table to eat from we
enjoyed the simple repast amazingly. Then
there were actually knives and forks and
spoons and dishes, things that we had also
been without in the wilds of Honduras,
where real house has never been seen by
the natives c. anyone else. Through with
''coffee" at last, we are invited to accom-
pany our host to the town of Cape Gracias
Dios, eight miles away. We consented
and were soon on the way. A walk of a
mile over the savanna, used by Mr.. Green
for his 400 head of cattle and 20 horses,
brought us to the side of the broad and fine
river called variouEly Wauks. Waux or
Segovia. Here we saw several canoes, pit
pans, boats something like canoes, but not
so reliable, a number Of Indians and two
Spaniards in bathing. A sleepy alligator
watched the bathers with lazy Indifference.
A large canoe was showed into the water
and seats of sticks were fastened into it.
We seated ourselves and the two strong In
dams began their seven miles padding trip.
We soon shot across the river into an artifi-
cial canal three miles long. How warm it
was here! Not breath of air was stirring
at this point, though it should be under
stood that the trade winds blow steadily
every day and make the temperature agree

branches, the work of hurricane last Au-
gust, the worst that had occurred in 20
years Hermit crabs, in hundreds, swarm
in and out of holes on either bank No
other signs of life appeared. The hurricane
must have had an extremely blighting
effect.
VIEW OF THE LITTLE CITY.
AT last we emerge from this stream into
the broad and wind-swept lagoon. Five
miles away on the southern shore we see 20
or 100 low buildings constituting the village
of Gracias. At IL O'Clock we landed at the
end Of its dilapidsted wharf A Spaniard
Of true Castilian blood and grandiloquent
in manner came to meet US. Had we been
foreign potentates instead of three ordinary
individuals in shirt sleeves we could not
have been received more deferentially.
Escorted by this officer, dressed in the style
of New York police captain and wearing
revolver in plain sight, we were mar ed

that game which pursues the hunter, as
Balzac says, these must be the attractions
rather than the fox, because there is no fox.
They generally, have an aniseseed bag or
they NAV have a dragsman, who initiates
the motions of q fox with saturated pads
fastened to the soles Of his boots Still, as
an addition to the art of entertaining it is
q very great boon, and "hunt breakfast"
at the Westchester hunting club is as pretty
sight as possible.
MAY BECOME An INsMrUTIoN.
In America the sport began in Virginia in
the last century, and no doubt In our great
West and South 1t will some day become as
recognized an institution as in England.
We have room enough for 1t, too much per-
haps Shooting should become, from the
Adirondacks to the Mississippi, recog-
nized sport, as it was once necessity. If
American gentlemen can only fix on five
months of the year which they can devote
to sport, as the Englishmen do, it may rival
that of Great Britain. Unfortunately,
American gentlemen are bringing down
other kinds of game in u months of the
year. We cannot help thinking, however,
that shooting buck in the Adirondacks is
a more manly sport than shooting one in
England.
No one who has ever had the privilege of
doing it will forget his first drive through
the delights of an English park. The herds
of fallow deer that haunt the ferny glades
beneath the old oaks and beeches are kept
both for show and for the table, for park
fed venison Is more delicious morsel than
the flesh of the Scotch red deer that runs
wild on the moor. White, brown and
mottled, with branching antlers which serve
admirably for offensive and defensive
weapons, the deer browse in groups, the
does and fawns generally keeping apart
from the more lordly bucks. The park
keeper knows them all, and when one is
shot the hides. hoofs and antlers become
his perquisites.
WHAT NOBILITY CALLS SPORT.
ever, this: The keepers assistant drives the
herd In acertain direction previously agreed
upon. The sight is very pretty one. The
keeper stations himself, rife in hand, in the
fork of some convenient tree along the
route. He takes aim at the intended VIC
tim, and at the ominous report the scared
herd scampers away faster than ever, leay-
Ing their comrade to the knives of the keep

THE POLISH IDEA OF sPoRr.
A Polish officer of distinction has sent me
the following account of hunting in his
province: I'VE do not hunt the fox as In
England. He is shot when met in drive,
or worried out of his subterranean
castle by q special breed Of dogs, the
Dachshund, or Texel, or if young cubs are
suspected to be in the hole the exits as far
as known are closed, shaft sunk to the
center, and the whole brood extinguished in
one way or the other. We ride to hounds
after hare, and the speed of fox hunt is
nothing when compared with cruise of the
hare, for the greyhound, used for the latter,
can beat any fox hound in racing"
The old-fashioned way to kill the Wild
boar Is to let him run on you, then kneel ON
one knee, holding hunting knife or cut
lass, double-edged, The boar, infuriated by
the dogs, rushes at you. If well directed,
the knife enters his breast and heart; if 1t
does not; then look out This is what Is
called 'pig-sticking" in India It is sport
very different from that have described.

that the crop viii be 20 per cent less than 1t
was thought to be one week ago. The

favorable report having been received from
any point in this or adjoining counties.

THE CATTLE AND THE RUssEH

Next day we went to look at Mr. Green's
cattle and horses, 400 and more in number.
They are we'll attended by three OF more
herders mounted on swift horses. The
stock without an exception looked sleek
and fat In addition to the herdiug busi-
ness Mr.. Green is engaged in the rubber In
dustry. The trees and consequently the
camp are about 75 miles up the Wauks
river, where he stays most of his time.
Indians cut the trees and bring the sap to
camp, where it Is allowed to CONCEAL in
holes dug in the ground In the crude
lump state, but sometimes in the sheet
form, it is sent to New York and Liverpool.

of the seashore made better path than the

duced the fatigue of the trip to minimum
On the morning of the second day, however,

of the journey, as no one could long remain
on him when he went through the wonderful

this river being the boundary between Hon

When we consider that hunting is the
Fashion" which Americans are trying to
follow in a country without foxes, and with
no preserves of game, we must concede that
the system of American fox-hunting must
be the result of considerable hard study,
The 'fox" is an aniseseed bag, and the
stone walls, the posts of fences 4 feet
inches high, make fearful difference. In
England there are no fences; and again we
have no parks filed with fallow deer. So
we are at a disadvantage.
We can imagine, however, that in the Elk
ridge hunt of Maryland, and in the park of
Austin Wadsworth, Esq, at Genesco, there
might be genuine sport. But at the Rock
away, at Cedarhurst, the Meadow Brook at
Westbury, the Westchester of White Plains,
the Essex at Orange, the Richmond county
hunt at White Plains, the pleasure must be
in the breakfasts, the meets the day in the
open air, the company, the pretty girls,
