I
to the fish commission has
been made public, 1t says tho de.
mand for fish is constantly on the in,
crease, and it is impossible to keep
pace with the reQuSition for brook
trout, bass and pike. Judging from
the number of applications for fish
this year will break all records. The
Madison hatchery is now run to its
full capacity in Matching and tistrihut
ing trout
IN regard to the fishers of the state
who are dependent upon their catches
tor living the superintendent takes nm
The subject of nets If all the gill nets
as given in by the fishermen of the
state were tied end to end there
would be over 1,IO0 miles Of g!ll nets
alone TO say nothing OF the thousands
of other nets. The eleven fish turS
fishing ont of Mllwaukcc have from
sixteen to twenty miles Of net in the
water at one time while they are fish.
ing, There were some tifty-four miles
OF gill nets used in Lake Wiuurbayo
the past season. There never was n
time in the history of our state when
there were so many fish taken from
It's waters as during the season of
lSH. In 1S9i the season shows a de-
cldcd falling of because of the warmth
OF the water and the fact that there
was but little wind to stir up the lake
and start the fish moving. Winter
hShtng is carried ON extensively in
many lakes.
There are 2,7i3 brook trout in the
ponds At the Madison hatchery re-
tanned for breeding purposes: l0,OSO
rainbow trout; LOO black spotted
trout; 1850 European trout. and 2SS
German carp, making total of A..

The report of Treasurer Spcnsley
shows that the commissioners OK
pcnscS for 1894 were only S69S5; for
1893, only $3.50. This is pretty con
elusive evidence that the worthy com
miSSioners are doing a great deal Of
work at very little expense 10 the
state
The reports show at the bcinning OF
1893 the balance on hand was $3.50 "a;

Of revenue increasing the amount on

The fish commissioners in their re-
port express the opinion that several
practical and beneficial changes should
be made in the present laws; and they
present the following recommended
tons:
l. The entire subject Of fish propa-
CATION, their protection and preserva-
ton in the waters Of the state, should
be committed to a single commission
or board Of officers. with power con-
ferred upon them to appoint and re.
move fish and game warclens aud dep.
uties. and assign their field and scope
Of duties.
.. The penal laws should be 80
changed as to be more effective. and

ecution
2. The whole mass Of legislation

by land, 1t Is in a Chinese cart. with an
extra cart to carry your baggage, and if
you want bedding, you must carry it with
YOU 1t took eight sailors to bring me from
Picking to Tien-Tsin, and I had to pay $40
for the use of the boat, in addition to my
cooking and eating. Picking is just about
ninety miles from Tien-Tsin, and the trip all
told cost about SIS by boat, AMI took three
DAYS. By cart it cost me s25. The two
towns are no further apart than New York
and Philadelphia. The fare between these
cities on a first-class passenger train is 1
think, 81, and it is made in little less
than three hours. The cart trip to Picking
requires two days or more, and you have
to spend one night in Chinese inn, where
you sleep on the stone floor and cook your
own meals.
One of the means of raising money which
the government Of China will have will be
the granting of foreign concessions for the
building of railroads between points like
Tien-Tsin and Peking. Such concessions
would undoubtedly pay well, and it may
be that Wharton Barker, if he will get
some ADLER man than Count Mitlkiewicz to
represent him. could now put through his
scheme for establishing a great Chinese
national bank and the building of rail-
roads in the celestial empire. Of this, how
ever, and of the chances for American cap
ital in China, will write in another letter.

honaycombed with network of official rob-
bers. Every officer will put some of the re-
cepts in mis- own pocket, and prices of all
kinds will rise. The rivers are the high
ways of China. The country is said to have
1000 roads, but it has none which are good
and the rivers and the canals form the
chief means of communication There is
no land on the globe which is better wat
cred. There are provinces in China as big
as New York which are cut up by canals
like Holland, and in which you can visit
every mans house by boat You can travel
distance longer than a journey around
the world on the Chinese interior water
ways and the Nile has it's equals in the
Yangtse Kiang and Hoang Ho. Each of these
rivers carries as much silt as the Nile ev-
cry year, and the sea is colored yellow for
from thirty to fifty miles on each side of
their mouths. AT the mouth of the Yangtse
Kiang the water is as thick as pea soup
and all along the mighty river men are seen
dipping it up, pouring it into bitches, in
order that it may be carried off and spread
over the land.
1000 Miles of Chinese Rivers.
I have Travelled more than 1000 miles
upon these wonderful rivers of China
The scenes along their banks are like those
of no other streams of tine world. Irrisa-
ton goes on everywhere, and the fertiliz-
ing material which they contain rojuve-
mates the Chinese soil as the Nile does
that of Egypt. The Great Plain of China
which, by the way, is the most thickly pop
ulated part of the empire, has been built
up from the sea by the Chinese rivers. It
runs along the Pacific coast for about 100
miles. and 1t is from 300 to 500 miles wide.
1t is one of the richest plains of the world.
and its soil is mixed with salts and the
evidences of decayed vegetation. 1t comes
from the Loess region in the far interior
OF China. This region is vast territory
covered with yellow earth about 900
feet deep. This soil is very fine and when
a stream flows into it, it seems to split
open vertically, and the rivers which run
through it pass through gorges of sand
300 feet deep. From time to time the vel
low soil splits off in sheets from the sides
of these gorges. and it is carried down to
the sea. During the hot season the winds
blow through this Loess region and carry
tie dust over China. This aids in it's fer
tilzation. The silt carried down by the
rivers to the sea is great that the land
every year inches 100 feet upon the sea,
and this has been going on for ages. Near
Shanghai there Is a large island which has
been built up by the Yanstse Kiang, and

Once Owned by Tweed.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
E. c. Benedict. banker and friend Of
President Cleveland. has bought Finch's
Island and the Indian Harbor Hotel prop
erty at Greenwich, Conn.,, at a reported
cost of S175,O00. The property purchased
includes twenty-five acres of water front
and forest land. When VIM. NJ. Tweed
was in the height of his power in 1870 he
purchased this property and organized the
notorious Americas Club, which afterward
built a club house on the shores of Indian
harbor. The club subsequently leased the
little island now occupied by the Indian
Harbor Yacht Club. and called it Tweed
Island. On the downfall of the Tweed ring
the club dissolved and the property re-
verified to the Mead estate. and the name
of the island was changed to Finch. The
$4,000 carpet Tweed had made for this
house is still there.

shape of a foreign loan, and the customs
will be mortsaged to pay the interest. AT
present China has perhaps the lowest taxes
in the world. and the farmers pay less on
their lands than they do in any of the
countries of Europe. The increasing of
such taxes would create a revolution The
only way that the government can raise
money will be through levying duties on

the land north of this is. to a great ex-
tent. the product of the Hoang Ho and The
Peiho. The Yangtse Kiang river is said to
be $500 miles long. The Hoang Ho rises in
Thibet within 100 miles of the mouth of he
YaDgtse, and it is almost of the same
length. 1t flows as far as from New York
to Denver before it gets large branch,
and by the time it has reached the sea it
has gone as far from New York to San
Francisco. 1t is only navigable by small
boats, and n great part of its course is
through the Great Plain. 1t has vast en-
bankments to keep it in its course, but
every year or so flood comes, and hum
dreds of thousands. and sometimes mil
lions, of people are swallowed up by it.
When 1 first visited China. 1 arrived just
after one of these big floods. About TWEEN
ty million people We're ruined by the river
and millions had been drowned. During
my trip of last year | sailed up the Peiho
to Tien-Tsin and saw the evidences of the
great flood of the year previous. This COW
cred the plains surrounding Tientsin. 1t
ruined hundreds of villages, and at one
time it seemed as though it would en-
danger the great city of Lii Hung Chang
which. you know, contains million people.
Right below 'Tien-Tsin l saw thousands of
graves which had been washed out by this
flood. The collins were lying on the ground,
and during the flood the dead foated by
the thousands to the sea.
Chinats VAST Boat Population.
There are millions upon millions of people
rivers. Chira is said to have more boats
than all the rest of the world put together
and it's boat population would in all proba-
bility be greater than that of all Europe
and America. On the Pearl river in South
China. at the city of Canton. there are
said to he 100000 people who We're born,
live and die upon the water. This river,
which you reach from Hong Kong. is
filled with shipping. and as you near Can
ton you find it filled with crafts of all kinds
from the small steamer to the great Chi
Iese junk. There are thousands of sam
pans, or little Chinese gondolas, with great
black and white eyes painted on each side
of their PROV. There are cargo boa is,
which have bigger eyes, and there are vast
ships the eyes of which are as large around
as a dinner plate. The Chinese paint eyes
on all their boats, and a sailor would as
sc on think of trying to travel through a
city blindfolded of sailing on a boat
which had not pair of eyes painted on
the front of it. 1 found whole families liv-
ing on these boats, and 1 saw some not
more than twenty feet in length. which
contained three generations Of Chinese. 1
