THE BIG FISH TRAP.
Highly Successful at First, but Big Fish
Have Been Injuring 1t.

Patchogue, November 9--When the pig
ocean fish trap owned by Henry Brown q
Co., was invented, built, and anchored at
sea it aroused great deal of comment.
For several weeks after the big trap was
set tons of striped bass and weak fish
were taken from it daily and conveyed to
the mainland by steamer.
The large catches, it is said, glutted the
markets at times, and the ordinary fisher
men were dissatisfied. OF late the big
net, or trap, has been catching few
marketable fish, but plenty of sharks
and skates
The bir fish raised havoc with the trap.
This continual damage of late, added to
poor fishing, caused the company to lose
money When the trap SEs was first Invented thse led
secret of making large catches of fish al
small cost had been discovered, but now

Constantinople, November 10.-The
recent change in the ministry is not con-
ducive of any better feeling in political
and diplomatic circles. The new minis
ters generally speaking, are looked. upon
askance, as they give no promise OF any
better government than that hitherto
ruling. The members of the new cabinet
are nothing more thar puppets OF the
Sultan. and whatever he wills, will be
without any questioning be done by them
Hail Rifat Pasha, the new Grand
Vizier, was formerly minister OF th in
terror and it is openly charged that
while occupying that position, he fostered
a massacre of Christians.
Abdsrraman Pasha, minister of Justice,
once held the grand vizierate and
was ismissed on days notice for ly-
ing.
Menduh Pa sha, minister of the interi-
or. is reported to be u downright scoun-
drel.
There is the strongest feeling here
against the Sultan, due among other
things. to his choice of ministers. 1t was
Thought possibly an attempt might be
made on the life Of Ehis majesty, as he
went from the palace to the mosque in
the ceremony known as the Selimik.
The usual large number of guards
who keep the route when the Sultan goes
60 the mosquito to offer prayers, was great
ly strengthened, and close watch kept
on every side for suspicious characters
by the police and gendarmes.
There is no doubt that the empire is
passing through one of it's most critical
periods that has threatened it for years.
The heir to the throne has no better poll
cy than the Sultan. SO no advantage is to
be gained by deposing the latter.
The young Turkey party aims at the
removal of both and substituting in their
place, Reshad Effendi, heir to the
throne, a healthy minded agriculturist,
who dislikes intrigue.
Advices from the interior show that
great destitution is prevailing from this
cause surpasses that arising frer the
massacres A very largo number f per-
sons care hom elasS and without food,
and there is no doubt that the suffering
will increase during the winter. In
several districts famine is anticipated.
The Grand Vizier sent circular to the
governors of the various provinces, in-
sisting upon the necessity of preventing
the populace from attempting to repress
public disorder, as this duty lies with
the civil and military authorities who
the cicrular says, should act with the
utmost energy. 1t is announced that

TO RELEASE WALLER.
France willing to Set Him Free as an Act
of Graciouness to the United states.

Washington, November 9.-Secretary
willingness OF France to release John
L. Waller from prison as an act of gracl-
business of the United States, but as an
acceptance of this offer might prevent
this government from subsequently,
demanding an indemnity for his lmpris-
onment, a condition to which Waller, it
is understood, does not agree, the pros
poets are that tedious diplomatic nego-
tiations are the last resource.
1t is positively denied that Mrs. Waller
has been compelled to appeal to the State
Department to secure Waller's release
on the ground that he is dying in his
cell. Mrs Waller herself declares emphati-
cally that she has not received from her
husband, nor have any of his friends,
letters saying that his health is failing,
or expressing the belief that he cannot
live much longer, as telegraphed from
Washington last night.
This morning Crammond Kennedy and
.John NJ. Langston, Waller's attorneys,
had a conference with Mrs. Waller and
her son, Paul Bray, They all agreed that
it would be unwise to sacrifice the
chances for idemnity at present to secure
Waller's release, as he was undoubtedly
we'll fed, clothed and housed in the best
French military establishments where,
even the case of illness, be was provided
with better medical attendance than he
gould hope to secure outside. Mrs. Wal
Nler was CONVINCED that the Frenchs gov
ernment would spare no expense to
maintain him in good health, and con-
oluded that if he were really i'll, he could
not stand the ocean voyage home, and
would therefore be stranded and III
among strangers So she very wisely
concluded to trust the matter entirely
to Secretary Olney and Ambassador
| Eustis, in both of whom she imposes the
fullest confidence. AS she understands
it, the two questions now under consid-
Grafton by the State Department are
whether it will be impossible to accept
frances offer of Waller's release as an
act of grace, and continue the matter
of indemnity for subsequent negoia-
tions, or whether all the facts Justify the
United States in preremtorily demanding
indemnity and release simultaneously.
1t is known that the Satate Department.
is not at all satisfied yet that Waller has
valid ground for an indemnity, some
of the evidence on the subject being ex-
tremely conflicting

POssessions-Other Points.
Philadelphia, November 1O-An in
formal talk was given last night, by ex-
United States Senator George f. Ed
munds, to the members of the Union
League club and their friends, on ''Inter-
national Relations in Central and South
America. "
On map which was hung alongside
the speakers platform Mr.. Edmunds
pointed out the possessions Of Great
Britain, which encircled the globe This
great expansion, he said, was not con-
quest of blood, but OF trade, business, and
English civilization. He gave history
of the origin of the Monroe doctrine.
"That doctrine declared, he said, "that
we would not look with unooncern
(Which in my Vermont dialect means, we
would not tolerate) the interference of
any foreign power with respect to
autonomy, or existence of the American
republics. That was the Monore doctrine,
and it has stood as standing meance to
all foreign countries from that time TO
this. Senator Edmunds called attention
to the way the British claims in Hon
duras had grown from almost nothing, to
seven thousand square miles.
In British Guinia, 1851, British claims
included only a few towns with no
boundary at all given on the border to-
ward Venezuela. In 1870, this small
claim had grown to 76,0 square miles,
and in 1899 to 1O9, 900 square miles.
