his mother, who had urged him not to-

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Dow, Jones &
Co, the Wall street financial news agents,
have given out the following statement:
g A foreign banker, with the best sources
of information tells us that all the promi-
nent BANKERS in Europe have decided not
TO loan Spain any further money to prose
cute the fight in Cuba. He thinks that the
Cuban war viii come to an end soon for
lack of funds to prosecute it. The European
markets are more or less demoralized by
the great fall in Spanish securities, partic-
ularly in Paris, where Spanish credit has
been terminated. He concludes that if
European bankers will not furnish Spain
with money for a domestic rebellion in
Cuba they would certainly not furnish
Spain with money for war against the
United States. {"

WATER ROUTE FOR GRAIN.
Plan For New Common Carrier That
pIey smash Railroads.


NEW YORK. Nov ia corporation,
the purpose of which is to wrcst from the
Vanderbilt ard allied systems of railroads
the monopoly In the transportation from
the west OF cereals to New York and New
England, is In process of formation. 1t IS
to be known as the Consolidated Canal
ard Lake company.
Prominent among iis promoters are
mentioned the Cramps of sAipbuildiug
fame, Arthur Scwan of Bath. Mo. Mr.
Bryan's running mate I'm tDe recent cam
puirn; Erastus Wiman, Alexander r..
smith, secretary of the Merchant Marine
association, whose Office is at AZ East
Twenty-third street; Edward M- Clarkson
Of II south street. George II. Raymond
and Fanl. Beadlc of Buffalo.
The plan Is to build q large ilectof steam
canalbonts and consorts and 90 construct
elevators and storage warchouscs at diner-
ent points in end hetwccn Ncw York and
Buffalo. Tire eXponditura of So GOO 600 in
the improvement by the stlte of its mtia-
cial Waterways is expected to materially
mid in the success of the scheme
Mr. Clarkson said to reporter that the
organization of the company was well un-
der way and there was no lack of funds.
He estimated that the steam canalboats
would cost about $50, 800 each and the con-
sorts would average about 83.400 each.
The steamers could carry about goo tons
and the consorts 500 tons each. Allowing
that the charge on the transport of grain
and like commodities from Buffalo to New
York was rated at cents a bushel. the
most conservative estimates demonstrated
that after providing for the construction
of the necessary fleet there would be a
handsome margin of profit
1t is said that electricity will be quite
largely employed, and with that end i'm
view negotiations are IN progress with the
Cataract General Electric company, by
which the new corporation can utilizo tho
power generated by Niagara falls 1t is
alleged that men identified with the Cata-
ract General Eloctric company are financial
ly interested in the Consolidated Canal

falo ard New York, so that trips can be
made without delay

FISHING BY ELECTRIC LIGHT

FISHING BY ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Every trout fisherman knows that
the fish in certain streams are abnor-
mally cultured in the matter of flies,
and have well defined contempt for
a hook that is badly tied or dressed
TO initiate fly that is out of season.
1t would seem, however, that other
fish beside the speckled river favorite
of the sportsman are being educated
in the important matter of what to
eat and what to avoid. 1t is said that
although the full run of the mackerai
on the Rhode Island coast is unusually
heavy and the fish are exceptionally
large, they are so shy that the cid
ways of taking them, the hook and
line, the drift nets and seines, each
of which was formerly effective, have
failed. The fish simply decline to be
caught, and the owners of the mack
eral schooners are casting about for
new lure. The latest idea is huge
bag hung on poles and lowered, after
being baited with freshly ground
stosh, by means of lead sinkers. The
mackeral rush for the bait, and when
enough of them are within the net,
the boom is raised. The old fisher
man say that while this device serves
well enough for the voracious bulls
eye mackeral, the true mackeral is
not to be taken in by it. The COM
mander of one boat is convinced that
this wary fish is only to be circum-
vented by electricity, and he has fitted
up an electrical apparatus for the pur-
pose. This apparatus is simplifica-
ton of what has been used for deep
sea- fishing on both the Pacific coast
and the coast of Scotland. In the
boat is dynamo, to which is attach
ed long wire carrying from one to
six iDcandescent light bulbs. The
bulbs are first lowered into the depths
of the sea, and the lights are turned
on. 1t is believed that this will draw
the true mackeral by night in such
numbers as to make the seining of
them easy and profitable

FOND OF JUMPING INTO THE BAY
Seattle Police Puzzled by the Eccentric
Conduct of a Sailor.

Conduct of Sailor.
The police of Seattle, Wash, are
curious to know whether Z. w. Magun-
son, sailor, aged 90 years, is in the
habit of taking bath in the bay every
day, or whether he contemplates sui
eide. Twice within three days lately
Magunson has appeared at headquar-
ters wet as drowned rat and asked
for shelter. The other morning man
was walking along the water front
near Charles street, when he saw
man in the bay. He managed to eff
feet a rescue. and, although he did not
know it. he had Magunson in his
clutches. Magunson told him that he
had jumped into the bay to keep people
from killing him, and moment later
pulled away from his rescuer and
rushed madly up the street. It IS
said that he came to Seattle lately from
Guatemala, and at one encounter with
John Barleycorn spent $50. Then he
started out fishing with friend, and
suddenly jumping overheard swan
ashore. He went to headquarters and
was locked up. He makes the station

He VIII Be Released From Prison
January ).
New York, Dec A Herald spe-
cial from Sing Sing, n. Y, says:
Governor Morton has granted the
petition of Frank Ellison, who is serv-
ing a five-years' sentence in the state
prison here for an assault on VIM.
III. Henriques in 1898, and has reduc-
ed his term by FIVE months and seven
teen days. This, with the seventeen
months communication for good beha-
vior, will bring about the liberation of
Ellison on January ). 1897.
Ellison endeavored two years ago
to obtain a pardon, but was not sue
cessful. He recently addressed let
ter TO Governor Morton, in which he
set forth what he considered the hard
features of his case, and asked that
his sentence of Imprisonment be re-
duced five months and seventeen
days, the time actually spent by him
in the Tombs and Jefferson Market
prison before sentence.
He declared he would not accept n
pardon, and that in the event of the
governors refusal to hear his prayer,
he would serve out his full time with
out complaining.
Governor Morton investigated thor
oughly, and after a careful cOnsidera-
ton of all the circumstances conclud-
ed to grant Ellison's request and the
memorandum to this effect was for
warder to Warden Sage, at Sing Sing
a few days ago.

EDUCATING SENSE OF TOUCH.
One OF the Nerve Faculties That May lie
Improved by Cultivation.

| Improved by Cultivation.
The question has been asked, which
of our senses is most capable of inn
provement? An English scientist says
| probably the serse Of touch. Strictly
| speaking, the senses are capable rather
| of alteration and specialization than of
improvement For instance, those who
have much to do in the open air be-
come immensely long-sighted, but this
is abnormal, and the increased superior
ity in one direction is compensated for
by inferiority in another.
But there are many trades which af-
ford abundant evidence that the sense
Of touch, at any rate in certain direc-
tions, can be largely developed. For In
stance, the cornoisseur of china relies
much more on an almost impereeptible
difference of feeling in the texture than
on his eyes to discover the genuineness
Of any piece.
The blind beggar can very soon dis
Germ between different metals merely
by the sense of touch, and, in fact, the
education of the blind affords re-
markable instance of the development
OF this sense. In certain manufacture
the skilled workman knows entirely by
this sense when a mixture has reached
the proper degree of solidity or mate
rial is of the right texture, and he re-
ceives very high wages by virtue of this
sense alone.
On the other hand, the sense of smell
and the sense of taste are, each of them,
blunted and lose their finer perception
if the same object is frequently pre-
sented to them. In every case, how
ever, it is not the general sense of touch
that is improved, but a special excel
lence of the sense.-N. Y. Journal.
