AN CID pHussIAN DISH.
"Iseerfish" Is Alleged to He Good When
II Il Served steAming Hot

IL Il Served steaming Hot
There is a dish dear to every Prus-
slams heart, which may be, however,
absolutely new in this country. All
Germans may not know il. as it is not
made in south Germany except in iso-
lated cases. Beer is not its chief ingre-
dent. but it plays an important part in
the makeup.
The dish is known as beerfish, and
the German carp, praised OF epicures, IS
herein treated in a manner worthy OF
the fish. II must be made with half
beer, or, in the absence Of this, with
weiss beer and porter. The fish is cut.
not in half, like a shad. but in sections
or squares. Three or four cuts across
the fish are all that is necessary. OF
course the fish must be cleaned.
A large glazed pot is used. A layer Of
large onions is placed on the bottom OF
the pot. On this are sprinkled various
spices; then layer Of substance call
ed fish pfefferkuchen, which has more
or less fish substance in it and can be
procured at any German grocery or deli
catessen store; then layer of sliced
lemon; then carp. This isrepeated until
the pot is full.
A layer of onions is placed on top and
beer is poured into the whole mass until
all the interstices are filed. 1t is cook
ed for 20 minutes over slow fire, mean
time adding a spoonful of vinegar and
another of sugar. Beerfish is delicious
when it is cooked and served steaming
hot. But its good qualities do not end
here, for after it is cold it offers allure
ments which make it hard to decide
which way it tastes better. hot or cold.

THE CENSUS WORK.
Superintendent Wright Talks of TIA
COMPLETION as Not Err CT :.

Discussing the prospect of concluding
the work of the eleventh census, Superin-
tendent Wright today said that there still
remained only one table to complete, with
the deductions to be drawn therefrom, and
that when this is finished the work of the
census bureau on the last census would
be finished. Mr.. Wright also stated that
the printing OF the report was well under
way and that the public printer had as
sured him that II would be completed by
the close of the present year. If" con-
tinued the superintendent, this promise
is made good. the complete report of the
eleventh census will be in the hands of
the public two years and a half sooner
than was the report of the census of 1Ss0."
The table yet to be prepared is one relating
to occupations, and il has been necessary
to delay 1t until the present time. The
census office force has now been reduced
10 forty, and still further reductions will
soon follow, until the disbandment of the
entire force. which Will be a matter of but
a few months. The report when completed
will contain twenty-five volumes, and Mr..
Wright expresses the opinion that it will
be the most complete of its kind ever pub
lished by the government. The total cost
Will be about Sll,50O,UO0, or about double
the cost of the census of 1880.
Mr.. Wright is an advocate of a perma-
nent census bureau, and he expresses the
opinion that before the next census is I'M
dertaken Congress will provide for the
service on a permanent basis. He says he
does not know of a member of either
House of Congress who is opposed to
continuous service, and he expects to see
the matter aeitated in an effectual way
when the eleventh census shall be en-
tirely disposed of. He thinks the expense
would be no greater than under the pres
ent method and that the service would
be more satisfactory, in that the informa-
ton would be more evenly distributed
than al present. Now q great deal of very
c
there is so much of 1t given out at one
time that Mr.. Wright thinks the public
hardly has time to assimilate it. If the
office were d permanent institution, the
superintendents idea would be to num-
Der the people every ten years. as required
by the Constitution, but otherwise to do
very little more in enumeration than in
other years.

MINING IN MEXICO.
Widespread Errors About n ReceI
Mexican Law Corrected.

Widespread Errors About n Recent
Mexican Law Corrected.
Persons interested in silver mines in
Mexico were much exercised several
weeks ago by the announcement that
the Mexican government had decided
to place a tax of per cent on silver
ores produced in Mexico. The statement of
the passage of the new law would not have
been regarded in such an important manner
had it not been for the assertion accom-
panying it to the effect that its provisions
would prove something like disastrous to
Americans engaged in mining in Mex
ico This, however, was denied by the Mex
lean minister. A further explanation has
been received in this city, in the form of
letter written by Mr.. Enrique c. Creel,
president of the Miners Bank of Chihua-
hua.
II regret very much to notice." says Mr..
Creel, that the new mining law of this
country, imposing tax of 8 per cent on
the ores produced, has been misunderstood,
and has done so much harm to this coun-
try.
THE new law does not mean a new tax
on mining in Mexico; it is only a change
of regulations as to the system of collecting
the taxes which already exists in Mexico,
and has existed for the last hundred years.
I'VE are now paying on all the silver
and gold that is produced In this country
and sent to the mints (either for coinage or
for expectation purposesl AL per cent to
the mint; and besides this, We pay in
stamps, as a federal contribution GO cents
for every 800; so that, altogether. we are at
present paying 1901 on every 500 of silver
or gold produced in this country.
According to the new law the taxes will
be collected thus: Three per cent of the
value of the silver and gold contained in
the ores when they are extracted from the
mines and per cent when the silver and
gold are introduced to the mint, either for
coinage or for export purposes.
"You will see that. according to the new
law,we will have to pay .after the LIST Of July,
5 per cent; but, ct present and for the last
hundred years. We have paid Sol per cent,
and sometimes a good deal more
You will notice that the mining inter-
ests of Mexico are not going to suffer on
account of this new law" continues Mr.
Creel land that 1t has been a mistake
made by the papers of the United States
who have published that new tax on min
ing has been imposed i'll Mexico"

POTOMAC FLATS CASE.

1t was stated today at the city hall that
there would be no decision in the Potomac
flats case until next fall This is the case
in which the United States, by proceedings
IN equity, authorized by a special set Of
congress, seeks to quiet the alleged title
OF some forty-odd different claimants 20

to certain tracts of land along the river
front from about Easbys Point to tire
arsenal grounds The case occupied the
attention of the District Court IN General
Term Chief Justice Bingham and Justices

during last April and May.
1t was expected that a decision in the
case would be rendered last week. before
the usual adjournment for the summer and
II was also rumored that the court would
be divided, 1t being stated that Chief JUS
ice bingham and Judge Hagner would
hold that the government is entitled to all
the land and rights in controversy, while
Judge McComas would dissent only as to
the claims of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company. and, perhaps. as TO the
claims of certain alleged owners of lets
along the river front, between 18th street
and Easby's Point. 1t is now sail how
