THE LOBSTER SITUATION.
Unparalleled Situation Fishermen Agree
ing to Throw Back Short Ones-Some Al
so Pulling Up Their Traps.

The lobster catch on the coast of
Maine is very small this year, the small
est ever known. Tt is scarcely more than
one-half what it was two years ago.
Portland snacks that brought 5000 two
years ago now bring only $500 in the
same time. There are few full trips
this year. The fishermen along the
coast are getting anxious, and now fear
the determination of this delicious shell
fish. Their opinion as rule has changed
during the past year. Those who be-
lieved that an open season was advan-
tageous and even advocates free fishing
now realize that their business is in dan
ger of disappearing altogether. At
Georges Island this month the fishermen
have drawn up an agreement among
themselves not to take any but 10 IL
inch Holsters and to throw all smaller
time that such a thing has ever been
done. There are probably from Is to 80
fisherme there and they all signed the
agreement with the exception of one or
two who are not Inhabitants, but simply
go there to camp and fish during the
open season.
There is one other place also where
such an agreement has been drawn up.
1t looks now as if when the law goes
on in July the price Of HOLSTERS will be
higher than ever before. The captain of
smack which came in yesterday says
that the fishermen are getting discour-
aged because they don't catch enough
to make it pay. Down round Mt. Desert
some of them are pulling up their pots.

THIRTY CORDS OF COIL wOOD.n
1t Has Travelled 5000 Miles in the
Bark Crusader.

That Arrived Here Yesterday with Salt
from Sicily-Captain Robbins Talks
of Sicily and His Experience With Its
Taxes
The first cargo of salt for the season,
from Trapani, Sicily, arrived in the
harbor yesterday, in the English bark
Crusader, CaptainaR obbins. 1t was con-
signed to John A. Emery & Brother.
There were 1856 salmis. which means
about $50 tons. Captain Robbins re-
ports rough passage all the way, unus-
ually so for this time of the year, but
nothing was lost or damaged He also
reports that Sicily has simmered down
after the recent instructions, but that
the people are in wretched condition
of distress and restitution as result
of she extraordinary taxes, and also the
over-production of the country. The
sulphur mines. have produced more than
the demand and have largely shut down;
also there is SO much fruit this year that
there is little market for it.
But the taxes are the cause of dis
tress in the midst Of plenty. Captain
Robbins never saw SO many beggars be-
fore, and he is. of course, traveller of
wide experience. There is tax upon
all the fish that are caught and brought
to Sicily's markets. Before those fish
reach the consumer a tax must be paid.
Therefore the fishermen sell their catch
at the wharves to dealers who pay very
small price, because they have to pay
the tax before they can takesthem to the
markets. Captain Robbins himself had
an experience with the peculiar taxes
there. He took over cargo of oil from
Philadelphia to Marseilles and had thir-
ty cords of ordinary four-foot firewood
to pack the oil barrels with to prevent
their rolling. 1t is called by the sailors
"oil wood" He paid for this wood $3.50
in Philadelphia. He did not sell in Mar
settles because he expected to get more
for it in Trapani. But the dealers there
offered him only SIS for the whole of
| it, saying that the enormous tax upon
| it would not allow them to offer more.
| He declared that he'd bring it back to
America before he'd sell it for that
| price, and SO he did, and it is here in
Portland now, after travelling.S000 miles
over the ocean, and it may go 5000 more,
because if he can't get a decent price for
it here he will take it back to England.
where he is going from here with spool
wood. There he can get about 500 for
it. England doesn't want cord wood.
She has got enough coal, and less is paid
for cord wood there than here.
Captain Robbins predicts another in
surrectlon in unhappy Sicily soon, and
also says that it will ssbe just as hope
less as the last. The Crusader left Sicily
March "a, and was two months to day
in making the passage.

August Lemieux Claims That New Evil
dence Will Clear Him of the Assault
Charge; and Delbert G. Donnoker
Thinks He Was Convicted Contrary to
Evidence.
In the Superior court, before Judge Bon

the ground that the verdict was against
evidence.

cases will go to the law court in July. s.

they could not save him. He was not expected

of Hoods Sarsaparilla which only contained a
few teaspoonfuls. In hopes that it might give
the boy a little strength and possibly life, we
