reers, 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 1000, and that the magnitude
OF the gill net industry may be inferred
| from the fact that the whole length OF

or about 545 miles OF nets, the nets be-
ing 20 to 80 feet deep; that it is there
fore scarcely possible for salmon to

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-

BERLIN, January 81. = Private dis

the Gear was called upon to-day by del

principal cities and many provincial and
district assemblies, who congratulated
him upon his recent marriage. In re-
plying to their congratulations the Gar
said he had learned that in some OF the
provincial assemblies voices had been
raised proposing that the assemblies
have a share in the state affairs and
expressing other absurd desires, He
therefore wished everybody to under
stand that he devoted all his powers to
his dear country, but that he was firmly

Together with DR.. Reynolds DIR. Hewitt

number of these cases and developed
cultures of the disease in his laboratory.
Samples Of the tissues and cultures were
forwarded to the bureau of animal in.

DR.. Hewitt's opinion in regard to the
nature of the disease was correct. So

lieve all the provisions l have suggested
should be embodied in cur laws if we
are to enjoy complete reinstatement of
sound financial condition. They need
not interfere with any currency scheme
for providing for an increase of the Cir
culating medium through the agency of
National or State banks since they can
easily be adjusted to such scheme.
Objection has been made to the is
suance of interest bearing obligations
for the purpose Of retiring on-interest-
bearing notes. In point of fact, how
ever, these notes have burdened us with
large load of interest. The interest on
the original issue of bonds, which in
gold constituted the reserve for the pay
ment OF these notes, amounted to $70,-
326, $50 on January l, 1895, and the an
nual charge for interest on these bonds
and those issued for the same purpose
last year will be So. 145 900, dating from
January /, 1895. While the cancellation
of these notes would not relieve us from
obligations already incurred on their ac-
count, these facts are given with the
suggestion that there existence was not
free from interest charges, and that the
longer they are outstanding, judging
from the experience of last year, the
more expensive will they become.
In conclusion desire to frankly con-
TESS my reluctance to issuing more bonds
in our present circumstances, and with
the prospects of no better results than
have lately followed that course. l can
not, however, refrain from adding to the
assurance my anxiety to cooperate with
the present Congress in any reasonable
measures of relief, expressing my de-
termination to leave nothing undone
which furnishes hope for improving the
situation or for checking any suspicion
OF our Discrimination or inability to meet
with strictest honor every national OBJ
legation.

ARMS FOR cUBANS.
Spanish Officials Claim They Are Shipped
From the United States.

From the United States.
KEY WEST. March 24.-An official of
the Cuban government who has arrived
here says exact and detail ed information
is in the hands of Spanish officials as to
the places throughout the United States
where arms and ammunition, it is be-
lieved, are being collected and shipped to
the Cuban insurgents. Two important
rendezvous are stated to be at Philadel.
phia and Perth Amboy.
The Spanish officials are said to have the
locations OF the rendezvous with names of
persons most active and the manner of
operation. Their Inflammation is said to
show that Philadelphia is q hotbed of
the movement and that heavy shipments
of arms and ammunition have been made
from there.
These northern rendezvous are in addi-
ton to those at Savannah, Fernandina
and other points in the south concerning
which information is being collected by
Spanish officials.
This is being laid before the Spanish
minister at Washington and may form an
important part in pending negotiations
between the United States and Spain and
is likely to form basis for a request for
the issuance Of orders by the attorney gen.
eral Of the United States to the district
attorneys of the various points under

ut has been, I know, asserted that the
neRroee of this country do not emigrate,

fact that some of those who live in the
cities prefer to remain in this country
and this think is especially true OF the
mulatoes but the large majority OF the
country blacks want to get away and the
only thing which holds them here Is their
Ignorance of the means Of departure and
their inability to pay their passage. be-
lieye that If the means for their trans
nortation could be furnished gratis a
million and half of the negroes could be
transported to Africa in the next IL
months"
Senator Morgan also asserted that a
large majority of the white population in
the south would prefer to have the negroes
go.
ut is certain" he said, "that many of
the planters, the owners of large planta-
tions, prefer to have them remain, for the
reason that they favor their labor in com
parison with certain class of whites, but
this element is in the minority and the
poorer whites and the professional classes
in the south prefer to have the negroes
sent away. The poor man does not want
their competition, and all classes object to
negro equality in political affairs, as all
feel that they stand directly in the way of
securing q more desirable class Of resi-
dents by preventing immigration. Fur
thcrmore, 1t is not true, as seems to be
supposed, that only negroes can do the
labor in the southern states, an assertion
which is substantiated by the fact that the
cotton crop of this country has increased
from a little over 5000, 900 before the war
to 1900, 900 bales"
The senator expressed the opinion that
congress would take the problem of ex-
porting the negroes in hand at no distant
DAY. and said he expected within three or
four years the government would be found
providing means for their transportation.
