NO DANGER TO SALMON,
1t Is Impossible Under Present
Conditions to Impair
the Supply.
OPERATIONS ARE RESTRICTED.
The Annual Pack Governed by the
State of the Markets Of
the World.

In dispatch from Washington, pub
lished yesterday morning, it was stated
that "the rapid inroads which fishing and
packing companies have made on the sup
ply of salmon in the Alaskan rivers have
given great concern to the Government
for several years past, since it became evil
dent that the fish were destined to the
same fate of determination which has
overtaken the buffalo and is being visited
on the fur-bearing seals of the northern
waters"
Representations were also made to Com
missioner Lamoreaux of the Land Office
that the salmon companies were acquiring
large tracts of land at the mouths of the
Alaskan rivers and other strategic points
of future commerce"
AS a consequence, ]. P. Swineford, ex-
Governor of Alaska, has been detailed by
the Government to make an investigation

ashore. 1t was a Lake Michigan trout,
and though as fat as the rainbow was a
sound fish.
A third was caught under the lower two
arched bridge. which is most ornamental
ana cunn!ngly constructed span; massive,
yet graceful. and rare improvement to
that portion of the lake. He was the
largest yet hooked and the latest, and for
9, mlnute made plucky dash, but that was
all. He, too, yielded and came sullenly
ashore. This fish scaled nearly three
pounds, and was as firm and clean as a
srout nourlshed in running water. This
concluded the experiment, and showed
that the trout in Golden Gate Park thrive
to an unexpected degree. There are not
many In the lake, and the Fish Commits
sioners might increase the stock with ad-
vantage. They are picturesque adjunct
to the beauty of this delightful recreation
ground; this marvel of that skillful gar
denlng and artistic taste which has con-
yerted barren and forbidding sand hills
into lawns and flower beds, ferny dells,
tumbl1ng waterfalls and miniature forests.

THE CITY HALL ANGEL,
Sculptor Marion Wells Gives
His Views on the
Stu alton.
A Quiet Reference to His Friends
In Munich-He Is Salts
fled.

Marion Wells was reading the Calls re-
port of the meeting of the City Hall Com
missioners yesterday when asked what he
thought of the proceedings.
"They were highly satisfactory to me-"
said the sculptor, "inasmuch as it was an
evidence that some of the Commissioners
recognize local talent and ability and ad-
here to their decision, mistaken by any
bulldozing tactics of those now in foreign
countries.
David Neal and Rupert Schmid, my
good friends abroad" added Mr. Wells,
ironically, ''are both in Munich at pres
ent, and are as thick as two peas in pod.
What Mr.. Schmid says Mr.. Neal will
swear to, and vice versa, and even if Mr..
Neal did paint Mr.. Sutro's portrait during
his stay here one could suppose that he
had got paid for the job, and was no
longer in Mr.. Sutro's employ.
about Schmid? Well, forg i've him
because he is hypochondriac, man who
wants to do all the work that is to be done
on the coast, from Gaping tombstone to
casting an heroic statue and has no patience
ers 1t, upon his exclusive domain.
Mayor SutrO is evidently under the
control of some outside influence, and is
not, confidently believe, speaking from
his own convictions.
why, on the day of the acceptance of
the statue Mr.. Sutro was the first one to
approve it and advocate its being cast into
bronze, stating at the time that white
metal was an inferior material and unfit
for use in this case. The general opinion
of the commission at that time was that
it should be made in bronze, and l have
awaited their decision since.
81 am pleased to see that the majority
of the commission adhere to their decision
and favor the speedy completion of the
statue. AS to the artistic merit of the
work the gentlemen of the commission
passed upon that some months since, pre-
vious to my casting it, and therefore set
that subject at rest.
Il cannot complete the cast or work
upon it intelligently until know of what
metal it is to be produced which is ihtelli-
glble to any one who understands the
technique of sculpture in large work. Pre-
pairing statue for white metal or one for
bronze are two different and distinct oper-
ations, not only in dissecting the work
but in making the keys for the different
metals. If should prepare this for bronze
and it would be ultimately cast in white
metal it would be a loss of several hundred
dollars to me by the unnecessary work"

her real estate to Patrick Murphy.
Holy. said that Margaret Holy was in
need OF money and wanted an advance OF

that Holy was not the agent of Margaret
Holy, that she never asked for an advance

Of the poor bed sat a pale-faced woman.

were busy with her needle. So long as
