THE FISH COMMISSION.

The First Spring Distribution of Fish to Be
Made In Missouri within a Week.
ST. LOUIS, April Within the next
week the first spring distribution of
fish by the Missouri fish commission
will be made. 1t is expected that $780,
o small fry of the varieties of bass
and giant croppie win be distributed
throughout the state within the next
ten days, and during the season be-
tween 500, 900 and 1000, 900 of the same
varieties. Col. John T. Crisp, of indie
pendence, president of the commission,
arrived at st. Louis yesterday to con-
suit with Col. Joseph 5. Griswell, the
remaining member of the commission.
The recent legislature appropriated
for the use of the commission SIS, 600,
which was $1,000 more than had ever
been given before. The fight over
this appropriations" said Col. Crisp,
did us a world of good in the way of
advertising. Although Il product
this year will be from five to ten times
larger than ever before, we will
not be able to supply the de
mand. Very few people appreci-
ate the fact that within the past
two years more than 1000 artificial
lakes have been made in Missouri for
the purpose of stocking them with fish.
1t will not be long before every farmer
who has a running spring on his land
will dam it and nave it stocked with
fish. Forest park has added 40 acre:
of water and will use it all for the pur'
pose of the hatchery. This hatchery
and the n at st. Joseph are the only
ones in the state, but they are being
enlarged to meet, as far as possible
the demand for fish,"

NEW YORK. Jan. %, 1s95.-Philip
Bachmen, thirty years old, was instantly
killed about nine o'clock this morning on
the West Drive, near N~inety-sixth street,
in Contra Park, by a team of horses fall
ing on him.
Bachman was employed as driver of
a Gravel truck by John Brosnan, a con-
tractor of No. SOL West Fifty-sixth
street. Bachman was ~endeavoring to
lead his horses UP an embankment which
was covered with ice. One of the ami
mails slipped, and in his efforts. to re-
cover his footing dragged the. other
horse down with him. They both fell
on top OF Bachman and crushed the
life out of him. Several citizens who
witnessed the accident rushed to his as
sistance and succeeded IN eXtr.cating
Bachman from under the horses, but he
was then dead.
His BODY was brought to the Central
Park arsenal by Park Officer Sullivan.

BEER AND DOODLE
Perhaps Congress May Not Impose
the Additional Tax.

the Additional Tax.
WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1S94.-Mr. Nc
Millin of Tennessee, who is the Chairman
of the subcommittee of Ways and Means
to whom the bill increasing the tax on
beer was referred. said today that ne
would not call his associates together
until after he had talked with Secretary
Carlisle. If the Secretary informs hin.
that more revenues are needed, MI. Nc
Millin will then bring to the attention
of the subcommittee some method OF
meeting the situation. He could Lot say
whether in the event that more revenues
are needed he would urge the passage OF
the beer bill or some other measure,
That, he continued, will be a matter for
further consideration after he had ak
ed with the Secretary.
While the members generally fee2 that
an Increase OF the tax on beer would
not only add greatly to the revenues and
be at the sam time a popular measure,
the political considerations involved are
regarded by the Democrats as worthy
of careful consideration. Some of the
latter, who were spoken with today, felt
that an increase in the tax would array
the brewers of the country against the
party in and this antagonism they
dislike to arouse.
If, however, Secretary Carlisle favors
the increased tax. his wishes will, 1t IS
believed, have great weight, not only
with the Democratic members of the
Ways and Means Committee, but with
Democratic members of the House.
