surrounded by hills on every side.
Work upon it has been prosecuted
fltfully, as the government could
spare the money. 1t has remained
for President Diaz to raise the amount
necessary to complete the enterprise,

Peculiar Method of Fishing INDUCED In by
Natives of Oceanioa Islands.
A peculiar method of fishing is in

of tho islands of Oceanica At given sig
nal the inhabitants of the village assemble
on the seashorc, to the number of about
200 persons, each Of whom carries q branch
Of cocoa palm. With these in their hands
they plunge into the water, and at a Ger
tain distance from the shore turn toward
it, forming a compact half circle, each
one holding his palm branch perpendicu-
larly IN the water and thus forming n
sieve.
The leader of the party then gives a sig
nal, and this living net approaches the
shore gradually in perfect order driving
before it a multitude Of fishes. Surround
ed by this living wall and entangled in the
cocoa palm branches many Of the fishes
are cast on the sand by the waves, while
others are killed with sticks. After being
cooked over hot Goals the fish are served
with bananas and cocOanut milk.

THE awful calamity that has fallen on
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, in
stead of being exaggerated in its results
in the earlier reports from the stricken
region, appears to have been understated.
The forest fires have carried destruction
and death so far that the victims are now
believed to number nearly a thousand,
millions of dollars worth of property has
been destroyed and whole towns have
been swept away The suffering has Of
course been extreme, and the need of help
is great At the moment of such an
overshadowiug calamity as this the great
beueyolence OF the American people is dis
played. With thousands of acres of
ground burned over thousands of homes
swept away and perhaps a thousand lives
lost. the need of immediate relief must
be great, and the response OF our citizens
ought TO be prompt and generous.

Governor Waite was renominated on

dozen votes, which were given to Con-

later made unanimous. When introduced
TO the convention he was greeted with
tremendous cheers
Governor Waite after thanking the
convention for the honor bestowed on
him by the denomination, said; 81 do not
take this as an Endorsement of all my
official acts, as 1 know have made many
grievous mistakes, but take it as an ex-
preston of confidence in me, and that l
have acted honestly, if not always wisely"
Congressman Pence, in response to loud
calls, made a speech urging the support
of the ticket. He said that under no cir
cumstance would he be a candidate for
any Office.
