One States Fish Culture.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The Pennsylvania fish commissioners ex-
pect to have this year between 40, ,OOO, 600 and
90, 100000 pike-perch fry, and make an
nouncement of their readiness to receive ap-
fish to be distributed in suitable waters Of
the state during May. AS this branch of
fish cultural work is important and must be
done rapidly, the hearty cooperation of
anglers will be appreciated. Until few
years ago the Susquehanna river and it's
tributaries were the only streams in this
state in which the pike-perch were and
they became generally known in conse-
Quence as Susquehanna salmon, though they
are also variouSly known jack salmon
and wall-eyed pike. They found their way
into the SuSQuehanna soon after the war of
1872 through Jesuit priest and English
man, who brought them from Seneca lake
to the Chemung river. When the fish COM
mission was first created some difficulty
was encountered in artiticially Matching this
species of fish, but few years ago the
problem was solved, and the output of fry
Is now only limited by the supply of eggs
and the capacity of the hatcheries. Pike
perch are comparatively abundant
through the efforts of the commission, in
the Delaware river from the Water Gap up
ward, and they are making their way down
stream, few having been caught last sum-
mer as far south as Lambertville They are
also found in limited numbers in the Schuyl-
kill river as far south Norristown. They

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 4.-People
who have followed Rhode Island politics
closely are intensely interested in today's

the history of the state a plurality will
elect. The old majority requirement has
been discarded, and there is no hope of
throwing the election into the legislature.
The republicans are confident and are
Claiming the state by several thousand
plurality. That they may lose the legisla-
trre and thereby a republican successor to
Senator Dixon they will not even admit
as remote possibility
On the other hand, Chairman Franklin p
