SOME MORE WIND.

To the Editor OF the Eagle:
Are we better off for il? " is the title of
an article in Sundays EAGLE, written by
NJ. c. r., which | desire 10 notice because
of its Inconsistency and very poor advice.
The writer OF the article acknowledges
that frcn a scientific standpoint, it is
not only a pleasure, but our duty to learn
and understand the nature and origin OF
cyclones. But he in effect argues, lest
our women and children become frighten-
ed and fail to give God full credit and all
the glory for personally directing the
course. and tempering the force of The
murderous cyclones that spreads misery
and want through the land. regardless of
the prayers and groans OF its mangled
victims, he suggests keeping them in ig-
norance of the origin OF storms, and at
tempts to mislead our children by
teaching them 10 repeat the following:
The Lord, our God. is full OF might;
The winds obey his VIII:
Howl. Winds of Night. Your force combine.
Without His high behest,
Te shall not, in the Mountain pine,
Disturb the sIArrows nest.'
which NJ C.. i. quotes from an author.
who evidently had little respect for God,
and less information to the origin Of
cyclones. | would like to know, (if NJ c.
L. pleases,) If a child would be any safer
in cyclone because of believing that it
was simply token of Gods love and
mercy, than to believe that it came about
by natural causes governed by natural
laws.
In closing his article he tells US that we
will find by repeating aloud the mystic
words contained in the two stanzas
quoted above, we will find them much
safer than q cyclone cave. For my part,
would prefer to take my chances III
cave, and / believe any other person of
ordinary intellgence-not even excepting
our friend NJ. c. T.-would consider a
well constructed cave much more potent
charm for resisting Kansas twister than
the repeating aloud of the Incarnation of
some superstitious 18th century Scotch
man, notwithstanding the cyclone may
operate according TO Gods "high behest."

Brazil in Trouble.


Brazil Is involved in serious difficulty with
both Italy and Germany because of out
RACES perpetrated on German and Italian
subjects in Brazil. An Italian was horribly
mutilated aud tortured. so that lie died. by
members of guerrilla band at San Vim
cente, in the State Of Rio Grsnde, last No
vember. and another Italian was brutally
maltreated by a Lieutenant of Police at
Fiamao. in the same State, in December.
The Brazilian authorities promised that
punishment should be dealt and reparatioI
made, but this has not been done. lnstruc-
tons have now been sent to the Italian
Minister at Rio de Janeiro to inform the
Brazilian Government that Sufficient time
having elapsed for full inquiry into the
matter, Italy looks for prompt and COM
plete satisfaction, and that, should this not
be given. she will be compelled to adopt
measures demanded by the gravity OF the
circumstances" Germany is seeking salts
faction because, as alleged, last Christmas
day the police of San Paolo entered prl-
vate meeting of the German Workmen's
Club at that place, attacked men, women
and children with their naked swords, and
ended by punderlDg the house. The reason
alleged for the assault IS that mulatto
detective was refused admittance TO the
club The German papers say the police

THE FISH COMBINE.
Some of the Big Firms Refuse to CO.
Operate With Ii.


Operate With 1t.
8The proposed com bne among fish-dealers
is liable TO be shipwrecked before 1t is per-
manently organized.
There are various stories regarding the
difficulties by which the new company has
already found itself beset, but, as far as can
be gathered, the position Of affairs is a
deadlock.
The principals in the new American Union
Fish Company are: The American Fishing
Company, controlled by n. Pardini. Antoine
& Giusti. j. B. Inguglia, A. Silvestri; the
Phoenix Fishing Company, n. Fabris.
Trapani & Co., c. Cuneo and M. Sposito.
These are all dealers and middemen, but
to insure the success of their movement
they are DESTROYS of securing the co-opera-
ton of the four leading firms. These are 4:
Paladini & Camelloni, the California
Fishing Company, j. II. Kessing and the
San francisco Fishing Company.
This ''bIg four" il is said, have failed to
see the benefit of the new movement and
threaten trouble il any pressure Is brought
to bear upon them, such as refusing to sell
them fish when they need It, One of the
wealthiest. Paladini q Co., owns one
fifth interest in the fishing steamers Farra-
gut, Golden Gate and u. S. Grant, which
have been declared in the combine.
The member of the combine have been
rated as follows Pardini, $500; Inguglia.
$500; Antoine & Giusti, $500; Silvestri.
$4,000; Sposito, $780, Trapani & Co., $500;
Cuneo. $500. 1t is said that the question
OF the division of profits is already creating
sehism among the members.
That the new com ine was in earnest in
organizing is demonstrated by the fact that
its members have held out from making
contracts with restaurants and hotel men
for the ensuing year, whereas in previous
years such contracts have been usually
signed long before the Lenten season, when
fish is especially in demand.

A DANGEROUS SPOT
The Unprotected SeawalI
at Market Street.
Waterman Dexter Tells of the Men
lie Has Saved There and Warns
Against the Danger.

Denis Dexter, head Waterman at the
Market-street wharf, raised his hand above
his head and said with tremendous spirit,
"Of all man-traps in San Francisco that one
yonder is absolutely the worst! Some night
soon there is going TO be frigntful acci-
dent there. aud THE CALL will have its
largest display type set up 10 announce it..
An ounce of prevention, young man, is
better than pounds Of cure Give the pub
lie few words of warning. THE CALL
will save human lives by it,"
Dexter was that much in earnest there
was really no denying him. and the reporter
walked over and glanced in the direction of
the speakers extended hand.
They we're standing by the signal box on
the wharf, where the Market-street cable
cars turn ON the revolving table, and Dexter
pointed in the darkness toward the seawall
ana the long. black, treacherous line of
water beneath Ii.
The wharves and haIf-completed pillng
stretched away In the darkness and out
into the bay. They looked skeletonish and
lowering In the night. They seemed the be-
ginning of another shore. Separating til EN-
from the seawal was the inky canal six or
eight feet below and as many feet in width.
One unfamiliar with this part OF the front
would have SAID there was 20 water in it,
but the light from the windows of the
Sausalito ferry house rose and fell on the
long black waves and half revealed the
dangers of the spot
"There will be a terrible accident there
some time sooD," reiterated Dexter. at Is
sure to come. There is an exposed front Of
nearly 100 yards with nothing to prevent
man from walking straight into the ditch.
AS matter of fact il is not ditch, but tho
beginning of the bay, but as the wharves
and seawali line IL now IL seems more like a
narrow ditch.
This is the most frequented quarter of
the front, with people passing across the
sand plat there at all hours of the night
Half-intoXicated men hang about here, and
stagger up and down the wharf until day
light shows them the way out.
within the past six months we have
pulled over twenty men out OF that ditch.

miracle some of them were not drowned.

seven feet in depth; at low tide there are
only the rocks that are piled agaSnst the
wall to support it. What could be e2sier
than for man to fall ten feet there upSn
them, and, stunned by the blows. be
drowned by the incoming tide? / repeat,
1t is the worst pitfall in San Francisco.

dollars would build suitable fence that
would protect the place completely. Some
action in this matter should be taken at

lawyer is possessed, which went TO show
