From Our Regular Correspondent.


Washington, March -, 1895.
President Cleveland and Sc
cretary Gresham are having as
much trouble with the inlluen-
tail lingo element in the Unit
ed States as with the Pandora's
box Of complications which has
been dumped upon the Depart
ment of State. The jingoists
can see no excuse for Spain not
having made the apology de
manded although it is patent
to all cool heads that the delay
is caused by the change Of
ministry and would like to see
the President send a fleet over
to seize Cuba at once. The
same hot heads also interpret
the Monroe doctrine to mean
that the United States should
attack Great Britain, if that
country carries out its threat
to compel Nicaragua by force
to accede to It's demands. For
tunately for the country niether
the President nor his cabinet
has an.ytouch of the lingo
fever; consequently the gum
erous foreign complications are
being haudled in a business
and common sense way.
No further demand will be
made upon Spain until It's new
ministry has been given ample
time to reply to that already
made; then the demand will be
renewed ilI a tone that will
either bring the apology by
by cable, or war. As to the
Monroe doctrine: President
Cleveland does not interpret
that doctrine to mean that this
country will prevent Il Europe,
an power from insisting upon

TO PROTECT SALMON.
The Bill Introduced by MIR. Coon OF
Wasco County.

SALEM, Or, January 81 The first fish
bill, read second time, and sent to the
fisheries committee of the House, 10
House Bill No. 10, by Mr.. Coon Of Was
co county. 1t has long preamble.
which recites that the fishing industry
OF the State constitutes one OF its great
est sources Of wealth and needs adequate
protection and proper care for its pro-
noting and increasing; that large sums
Of money have been expended and will
become necessary to expend TO promote
and protect and increase the industry (;
that as far back as in the year 1888
Major Jones Of the United States Engi-
neers, in his report to the Secretary OF
War, stated that even at that time the
whole number OF gill nets operating in
and about the mouth of the Columbia
river was 1,600, and that the magnitude
OF the gill net industry may be inferred
from the fact that the whole length OF
the 1000 nets, with an average OF each
of 800 feet long, is about 2,S80,000 feet
or about 545 miles Of nets, the nets be-
ing 20 to 30 feet deep; that it is there
fore scarcely possible for salmon to
escape and ascend the upper rivers and
their tributaries for propagation; that
many OF the fishermen of the lower river
fish on and over the bar OF the Columbia
river, which endangers many lives and
many are drowned; that the nets must
OF necessity scare away many salmon
from the mouth OF the river, which may
later return, but return too late for them
to reach suitable spawning grounds;
and that every facility should be offered
TO the fish for entering the river. Then
it goes on to enact that it shall be un-
lawful for any person to fish with or
drift with gill net in the Columbia
river or any other river within the State
Of Oregon, or their tributaries. with any
gill net over $50 feet long and 30 meshes
deep. Violation OF this section is made
misdemeanor, punishable by fine not
less than $50 nor more than $3.50 and
imprisonment in the county Jail not to
exceed thirty days. II is also made un-
lawful for any person to fish in the CO.
lumbia river within five miles OF the
Columbia river bar. upon penalty OF a
fine not less than $50 nor more than $3.50
and imprisonment in the county Jail not
to exceed thirty days. The bill contains
an emergency clause.

ADVERTISING RATES.
FROM THE INCOME TAX.
The Revenue is Estimated at Fifty Mil.
lion Dollars.


WASHINGTON, January 29.-Members
Of Congress who believe that the income
tax is an equitable method OF raising
revenues are gratified at the unexpected
ly good showing OF the preliminary cam
vass made by the Collectors OF the In
ternal Revenue at the direction of Sec
retary Carlisle. They believe that the
greater the amount realized from this
tax the more popular it will become and
the more firmly rooted as part Of the
policy of the government. McMillin Of
Tennessee says that il a large per cent
OF the revenue of the government is de-
rived from this plan any attempt to re-
peal it before the expiration OF the FIVE
year limit fixed IN the Wilson bill will
be exceedingly unpopular; that the
greater the revenue derived from it the
greater will be the probability of its re.
enactment at the end OF its term. Be-
fore the proposition to tax incomes was
before Congress the profit to be derived
from it was estimated at first at SIS ,000,-
600 to $18, 100000. Later the estimates
OF the committee were raised to $50, ,000,-
600. Later Hall of Missouri, who had
given more study to the theory and his
tory of the income tax than any other
man in the House, did not place the
total below $50, 900. From the re-
suits OF the canvass OF the internal rev.
enue bureau it appears that Hall was
more nearly correct than the other fore
casters. He now says that the income
may yield more than $50, ,000, 900, and it
is known that the Treasury Department
officials do not place its result below that
mark. The showing made by thirty-six
of the sixty-three districts gives ground
for the estimate that about 100000
persons and corporations will contribute
to the treasury by this plan.

OLYMPIA, WASH, February 1.-The
silver question was brought to an issue
in the House this afternoon. A me-
mortal to Congress introduced by Tull
for the free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer was shelved for a substitute by Coon
for the coinage OF the American product
only. Final action was had after a red
hot debate, which was participated in
by the members Of all political parties.
Some OF the more eloquent members
we're given a chance to repeat their cam
paign speeches OF last summer. The
Republicans urged that the Legislature
should sanction the plank in the plat
form adopted at Spokane for the un-
limited coinage OF the American product
at 16 to |. The Coon substitute passed
with q whoop, and demonstrated clearly
that the House is free-silver body.
Conner OF skagit and Minis of Chehalis
were the only Republicans voting against
Scott and Witt-also voted against the
memorial. This was owing to it's favor
ing the American product only.

TO ESTABLISH HArcHERIRs.
Representative Bush's bill to estab-
lish and maintain State fish hatcheries
and making an appropriation therefor
passed the House this morning. The
bill provides for Board OF Fish Com
missioners, camposed of the Governor,
State Treasurer and Fish Commissioner.
II shall be the duty OF the commission
to procure sites for the erection OF the
hatcheries and to supervise the man.
agement and control Of the same. Sec
ton OF the bill provides that the site
OF the first hatchery shall be upon the
banks OF the Columbia river or some
one or more Of it's tributaries, and shall
be selected and obtained as soon as pos
sible. Subsequent hatcheries shall be
established, one each on one OF the
tributaries OF Puget Sound, one of the
tributaries OF Gray's Harbor and one OF
the ibutaries OF Willapa Bay, where
in the judgment OF the commission it
shall be deemed advisable. The men,
bers OF the board shall receive no com
pensation for their services as such
board, but shall be allowed necessary
actual travelling expenses. For carry
ing out the provisions Of the act and the
maintenance OF the hatcheries there is
appropriated $4,000 out of the fish
hatchery fund in the State Treasury.
Owing to the nearness of the season for
the running OF the salmon an emergency
clause is attached.

the taking of papers from the postofice

Trouble Seems Imminent Between the
Two Republics.
New YORK, January pa special to
the World from Puerto Plata, San Do
mingo, dated January 18 says trouble
seems imminent between France and
the Domingo Republic. A French man
of-war appeared off San Domingo few
days ago and began to take soundings.
She was boarded by pilot, who was in
formed that his service was not needed.
When he asked the commander what
his intentions were he was told none OF
his business. The San Domingo author
tiles had dispute with bank few
years ago and eventually took 10000
from it. The bank was backed by
French capital and the bankers laid
their case before the French govern
ment. France demanded that the
money be restored to the bank, but
diplomatic negotiations seem to have
resulted in nothing. The World corre-
spondent learns that the French ulti-
matum has already been sent in and
that it demands the return of the $780,
900 and $200, 1000 indemnity. Presi-
dent Heureaux, it is said, has declared
that he has no money to pay with.

WASHINGTON, January 3l.-The stten-
tion of the Commissioner of pensions
was to-day called to dispatch sent out
yesterday from Detroit, Mich, stating
that the pension of General William
Shakespeare of Kalamazoo, Mich, had
been reduced to $72 per month because
OF recent speech at Grand Army

criticised the pension policy OF the pres
ent administration. The commissioner
said the reduction of General Shakes
peare's pension was in no way occa-
stoned by any criticisms of the pension
bureau made by that officer and pro-
duced the records in the case. They
showed that the Special Examiner de-
tailed Cor duty in the district where
General Shakespeare resides had his at
tention called to this case by persons
who claimed that the pension was an ex-
cessive one, considering the disabilities.
Upon an investigation the examiner so
reported to the pension bureau, and
General Shakespeare's pension was ac-
cordingly reduced.
