TESTING THE FISHING LAW.
Two Arrests Are Made at Astoria fol
This Purpose.

Two Arrests Are Made at Astoria for
This Purpose.
Astoria, June 18.-Fish and Game
Protector Mcclure and Sheriff Hare to-
day arrested two men, who refused to
give their names, for illegal fishing.
The parties are supposed to be owners
of two traps, one of which is located in
Bakers bay, north of Sand island, and
the other in the Columbia river, south
of Sand island. The action of Mr.. Nc
CURE is for the purpose of determin-
ing the question of concurrent jurisdic-
ton, and whether or not Bakers bay,
in which most of the fish traps are To-
Gated, is part of the Columbia river.
1t was expected that this question
would have been settled in the case of
the Oregon VS.. Olsen, charged with IL
legal fishing, Judge Mcbride having
decided that the jurisdiction of Oregon
extended to the Washington shore, but
the disagreement of the jury prevented
the decision being either sustained or
overruled by the supreme court.
speaking VI Ills luGouGlOu ILLS oNCu-
ing, Mr.. Mcclure said:
'In my opinion any effort to enforce
the present laws of Oregon in regard
to Sunday fishing is not only imprac-
ticable, but unjust, and would not be
sustained either by jury or by public
opinion. Similar laws must be enacted
by the legislatures of both states if the
theory is correct that the jurisdiction
of each extends to the middle channel.
If, on the other hand, it is decided
that the jurisdiction of Oregon extends
to the Washington shore, it will be an
easy matter for an Oregon officer to
enforce the laws over the entire river.
AS the matter now stands, the Wash
ington fishermen, since the adjustment
of the Sunday law by the last legisla-
ture, will not accept any decision short
of one emanating from the United
States courts, and the cases of the par
ties arrested today will in all probable
ity be taken there by habeas corpus
proceedings.

His Language in Commons Provocative
and Dangerous to Peace.
London, June 15.-In the house Of
commons last evening during the dis
cussion of credit for building a rail-
way and the protectorate in Uganda,
the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain
wanted to know the intentions of the
government regarding the French ex-
petition on the Nile. Sir William
Harcourt severely rebuked Mr.. Cham
berlain's provocative language toward
France, which, he said, was most dan
gerous to the worlds peace. He de-
MED that the government intended to
extend control beyond Uganda.
Mr.. Chamberlain repudiated any de-
sire to be provocative, but had simply
repeated the statement of Sir Edward
Gray, parliamentary secretary to the
foreign Office, that certain act on the
part of France would be regarded as
unfriendly toward England, and asked
to be assured that steps were not to be
taken to lead to this act.
The subject precipitated long dis
cussion, and the closure was finally ap-
piled to end the debate. The credit
was then adopted, by 249 to 81.

Kerschner's Case to Be Presented.

Washington, June 10. - Secretary
Herbert has decided to give the attor-
ney of Medical Inspector Kerschner,
found guilty by court martial on
charges preferred by Admiral Meade,
an opportunity to make an argument
before him on behalf of the surgeon.
The sentence in the case is understood
to have been dismissed. The secre-
tary at one time was ready to send the
papers in the case to the president and
the representative and attorney of Ker-
schner induced him to give them an
opportunity to present their case. The
judge-advocate-general of the navy will
present the other side of the case.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Progress of the Work of the Commission
of Engineers.

Chicago, June 18.-A dispatch to the
Tlmes-Herald from Washington, re.
ferring to the work of the commission
appointed to inspect the route and pre-
llmlnary work on the Nicaragua canal,
says the engineers reached Greytown,
the eastern terminus of the canal,
May IL, and began an examination of
the property and improvements of the
canal company at that port. One of
the most important of these is break
water 100 feet long, which extends out
into the sea. The construction of this
was begun in December, 1889, with the
resulet as predicted by engineers, of in
creasing the depth of water in the bay,
so that the depth on the bar is twelve
feet at present. Notwithstanding the
repeated efforts of the engineers to pre-
vent the ravages of the teredo on the
timbers of this breakwater, the COM
missioners find that the wood was
badly eaten. That portion of the Ca
nal already built, extending west from
Greytown toward the San Juan river
was found in splendid condition.
The embankments ON each side have
stood the effects of the weather remark
ably well, and show no serious effects
from the rainfall. The hospitals
and other buildings were found in good
state of preservation.
The railroad which the canal COM
pany has built along the route of the
canal for the transportation of material
and men has already been thoroughly
inspected and found in good condition.
The crumbling of the earth from the
cliffs and the washings from surface
drainage have not been as disastrous
as expected, and it is said this OBJ jec-
ton so often urged against the feasibil-
ity of the canal has fallen fiat. While
the canal passes through very wet
region, where the annual precipitation
is nearly twenty-five inches, the effects
of the movement of such an enormous
quantity of water have not been bad,
and give no indication that the sides
of the canal will be washed down in a
few years, another objection that has
been urged against the project.
About two weeks ago the canal COM
mission moved on from Greytown to
Lake Nicaragua, and after visiting
Granada and Managua, the capital,
passed from Nicaragua to the Pacific
along the route of the canal, a distance
of about fourteen miles. This section
of the route offers no obstacles to the
whatever, and will simply
be matter of excavation.

ok1ahoma,s Gold Excitement.

Reno, o. T., June H. Notwith-
standing recent reports that the Doggy
creek fields are not panning out as had
been expected, the great rush to the
country still continues, and there are
many old-t timers who still insist that
the strike is big. Parties coming here
for provisions report that the whole
country along Doggy creek is staked
off, and that gold-diggers are confident
of good results. The outitters have
been busy all day loading freighters for
the new settlement, and are reaping a
rich harvest. The gold fields are not
in the Indian country, so no opposition
can be offered going or coming.

Men, Cattle and Hogs Have Shown
Signs of the Dreaded Disease.

Men, Cattle and Hogs Have Shown
Signs of the Dreaded Disease.
Grand Island, Neb., June 18.-In
the northwestern part Of Adams county
in the vicinity of the farm of Fred
Ernst, hydrophobia in animals has
caused much loss of cattle, injury to
man and much anxiety. Two men
have been bitten, and compelled to go
to Wymore, where maidstone was ap-
piled, and over forty cattle belonging
to Ernst have been shot after signs Of
hydrophobia. A COW was bitten by a
mad dog. 1t died and was not buried,
being hauled to some out-of-the-way
place. The dogs in the neighborhood
consumed the carcass. About May it
was noticed other cattle showed symp-
toms of hydrophobia. Then it was
that Ernst's first bovine showed the
disease and was shot.
A war was commenced on the dogs
in the district. Only one dog is left,
and he will soon join his companions.
Three hogs belonging to Ernst were
bitten. One of these had extensive
tusks, and Frank Ernst, son about "a
years old, was scratched by one of the
tusks AS a result he was obliged to
go to Wymore, where the poison was
extracted. A neighbor, while burying
a COW which he had shot, allowed some
of the animals saliva to touch scratch
on his hand, and he went to Wymore.
He remained there until he was thought
to be safe and returned home. He has
since shown signs of hydrophobia, and
serious consequences are feared.
Desperate efforts have been made to
clear the neighborhood of all animals
affected.

CHAMPIONS THE WHEEL
Ch1cago Preacher Declares Himself

to Be the Friend of BicycIists.
Chicago, June 2O.-The wheelmen
and wheelwomen of Chicago have
found champion at last. He is Rev
j. 2. Brushingham, of the Fulton
street M. E. church, and one of the
new clergy" tolerant and liberal
In preaching on "cycling from relig-
lous point of view," he said:
i wish to be considered an enthusi-
asst upon the moderate use of the bicy-
Gle. 1t drives away the nervous ten
sion, the hectic cheek, the wearied
brain and peevish temper, renders us
more agreeable to our friends and SER
vlceable to our chosen calling. By the
moderate use of the bicycle the coated
tongue becomes normal once again, re-
freshing slumber and a less discrimi-
mating appetite are induced, and those
forms of amusement which seem to
confuse recreation with indoor dissipa-
ton are tabooed.
The bicycle is not only the enemy
of the railway corporation and the
livery establishment, but also of the
all-night saloon and the low down the
alter. Enthusiasm for the use, protest
for the abuse, constitute the keynote of
this theme
Long, flowing robes become
source of danger by being entangled
IN the wheels. The only suggestion
for women ON this matter is to avoid
extremes. The abuse lies not so much
IN the costume as in the observance
OF the silly remarks made by people
whom that costume does not directly
concern. The American woman has a
right to dress as she pleases, and as she
deems most becoming and comfortable.
ut is no more harmful to ride a
wheel than to drive in a carriage with
your family. I have been pleased to
see large number of wheels in the
vestibule of this church during the
hours of public worship

Another Interpretation of the

,-..bingron June 19.-There is rea-

A. enormous amount of German

rba government wanted a railroad

and q German syndicate stood ready to
mild the road on condition that Vene-
7caIs would guarantee Z per cent on
tbe eaniral invested. The guarantee
was Given aud the road built and put
INN oDeration about eight months ago.
A. the outsct it was supposed about
q oo0 600 would amply cover the cost
If the road, but the actual outlay
reached $4,000, 900. By the terms of
the government guarantee, Venezuela
nav becomes responsible to the German
syndicate for per cent return on this
$4,000 600.
The road has not been in operation
lnng enough to determine what it will
earn. but It's most sanguine promoters
do not hope that it will pay per cent
on the outlay. Whatever it earns will

Venezuela will have to give sufficient
to bring the earnings up to per cent.

No interest in the matter, but 1t is
looked upon as affording a convenient
means by which the government, in

thai the United States will again be
called upon to define to what extent
TIL acquisition of territory by foreign
powers in South America is compatible
with the Monroe docrtine.
Great Britain already possesses an
island at the mouth Of the OrinOc0, on
