a groundless report was found to be
but too true shortly afterward by the
receipt of telegram to Mr.. Henry to
that effect. The unfortunate Young
man had driven to Barstow with his
mother yesterday morning to visit at
the home OF his grandmother. Mrs.
Jane Motherhood. He had taken
his mother to q neigh Aor's to spend
the night and had returned. when he

THE FlNNY TRIBE.
Disregard of the Law in the Way Some ar.
Fishing.


The Moline Dispatch holds that
there is laXness in obeying the fish
laws. 1t says that the law pro-
hibits seining in any waters in the
state at any time except that in the
navigable rivers. bays and lakes; a
seine with meshes not less than two
inches square may be used from July
till April. 1t is as unlawful to buy
or sell fish caught in violation of the
law as it is to catch them.
1t is the business of the fish ward
en- to enforce this law, and he is civ
en- power to arrest without warrant
any person who violates it, and if
the offense is proved the penalty is
not less than so or more than 5000
and cost of suit.
Now if those who want to fish with
the rod and line will assist the war
den, Illegal fishing can soon be
stopped and the river filled with good
fish. The state and the United
States have stocked the waters of the
state, and if the fish hawks can be
prevented from using seines there
will be an abundance for every ang-
Ter. All the fish warden asks is that
anglers report any violation of the
law to him and he will see that it is
prosecuted. If such reports are
made to him by all who see the vio-
lations it viii not be long till the
illegal work is stopped.
SEEMING at Night.
The most of the seining is done at
night, when it is difficult to catch the
offenders. but it can be done. 1t
might be well to organize an associ-
alton here, as is done in some places
to protect the fish from the seiners.
Such society could by a few years
work make the river here swarm
with fish that would delight the
heart of a sportsman. The fish ward
en- for this section is Henry Furst.
and he has jurisdiction anywhere in
the state. He will be pleased to
know of any violation of the law.
and will assist the real sportsmen
of the county in any way he can to
protect the fish of our rivers from
destruction.

Furry i'm Wheat.

CHICAGO, April l2.-The threat of a
dollar a bushel for May wheat seemed
about to be realized to-day. Amid in
tense excitement the market suddenly
shot up over cents on top of the re-
cent advance of nearly II cents. AT
90 cents, however, there was sudden
sheer descent of 6 cents, followed by q
rapid rebound of 3 cents. The whole
trade seemed to feel that the fate of the
great plunger Edward Partridge hung
in the balance, and the feeling of nerv-
business and anxiety was wide spread.
He covered his enormous short sales
heavily yesterday and the opening to-
day found every one with whom he
had dealings calling him margins away
beyond the market. His position was
supposed to be weakened BY the ad-
vances in July, as there was an idea he
was short lot of July in addition to
his short May. He had been turning
securities into money for week, but
his necessities apparently had to-day
only fairly begun.
Partridge was on the floor in person
notwithstanding the fierce attack of his

crew took possession of the schooner.

MR.. DICKINSON, whom the President

Mr.. DICKINSON, whom the President
has recently appointed consul to Not
tingham, is republican, and voted
against the democratic party and for
the reelection of Mr.. Harrison FIVE
months ago. But Mr.. Dickinson is
brother of the Presidents personal
friend and ex-postmaster general, and
besides, the present is not partisan
administration. And, then, too, some
people think it is always well to pro-
vide for enemies and to let friends take
care of themselves, and for democrats
to rely upon the loyalty Of democratic
States and to try to make convlcts ID re-
publican States, and Mr.. Dickinson's
State, Michigan, always gives large re-
publican majorities. If the rejected
democratic "supplicants" for consulates
from Virginia would take all these
things into consideration they would be
comforted, and be inspired to put forth
even greater efforts in behalf Of the

dent in 90, than they did in ,92, when

ODD FELLows.-The Grand Lodge,
1. o. o. F., of Virginia, met in annual
session in Norfolk yesterday, with the
Grand Master, d. r. Stansbury, in the
chair, and a full representation of
lodges. The Grand Masters report
saws the order was never in more
prosperous condition. Total members,
5.5SS; net increase for the year up to
December, AT. The total receipts of
subordinate lodges for the same period
were $4S, 343, gain over last report.
The Grand Master during the year has
instituted seven lodges and two Re
beckahs. He says it is impossible for
him to state the gain since January LIST,
1893, but says the greatest gain and ac-
tivity have been during those three
months. At the afternoon session res
olutions were presented looking to the
securing of grand secretary who
could devote his whole time to the du-

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE
WASHINGTON, D. c.. April u

w aShlNploN, u. u. .tlDrll II.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Call on
the Goth of March declaring that the
committees on finance, naval affairs
military affairs. judiciary, foreign rela-
tions, appropriations, commerce and
interstate commerce shall each consist
of - members, was taken up and Mr.
Call made an argument in support of il.
He spoke of the great influence exer-
cised over legislation by parliamentary
committees, and showed how they had
been, and could be constituted and
used to promote inequality between
committees. They might be made use
Of. he said, to degrade the Representa-
tives or Senators of some States, and to
cxalt those of other States And. there
fore, it was desirable to have the mem.
bership of the Senate committees IN
creased. The Senate OF the United
States was at this time the most import
ant of the deliberative or legislative
bodies (he might say in the world. On
it, more than on any other tribunal, de.
pended the opportunity of the free dis
cussion and of the impartial considera-
ton of the great questions that are
threatening to disturb social order and
that are creating widespread and pro-
found discomfort. Its committees.
therefore, should be constituted with
view to immediate access fthe waves
of public opinion. There were States,
Mr.. Call said, which had no representa-
ton on the leading committees OF the
Senate. Other States had three or four
representatives on them others had
only one and so it ran through the
whole list of committees. In this way
the equality of the States was entirely
disregarded and the very idea OF M
equality of the States, i'll powers, pre-
negatives and privileges, had lost its
force and recognition in the Senate.
At the close of Mr.. Calls speech his
resolution went over without action.
A resolution was reported by Mr..
Vance from the committee on plivi-
leges and elections, and was referred TO
the committee on contingent expenses
for the investigation of the claim of
Joseph w. Ady To seat as Senator
from the State of Kansas.
The Senate. then, on motion of Mr..
Faulkner, proceeded to the considera-
ton of executive business.

SAYS The fact that the southern lead
er remained an unrepentant secession
ist up to the day of his death will lend
to these demonstrations significance
of peculiar interest at the present time.
Whether so or not in the North, in the
South they will only signify that the
people ofthis section are no less unre-
pentant than was their late chief, and
that they do not entertain the northern
idea that success is the measure OF
merit. They submitted to the power
of overwhelming numbers, and their
only present regret is that they had not
more lives and more property to lose IN
defense of their convictions of right.
