NO TROUBLE AHEAD.
Channel at Swans |s|a'd But Little
Affected By the lam.
Vessels Of 10 to 20 Foot Draft Will Pass
BY Next Week.

There has been some feelini, Of anx-
iety recently in the city. over the re-
ports that have been made concerning
the effects upon the channel at the
jam.
Tt has been stated by some that
serious trouble was anticipated, and
that there would have to be much
dredging done, or else change of
channel
kilograms have been received along
the river by shippers from all along
the coast, inquirins into the condition
of affairs, to discover Just how large
vessels could pass the alleged bars, and
whether it would be necessary to can
eel contracts, for the present, at least,
on account of The shallow water.
A tugboat man was in the city. Thurs
day, and gave out the following facts of
the case: The bar in the eastern chan
nel.at the foot of the island, has changed
but very little. AS a matter of fact,
there has been an accumulation in
places of perhaps six feet and this,
the tugboat man thought would b.
washed away by the swirl OF the pro
peliors Of passing tugs
The bar at the most is only $50 feet
long. and at high water. Thursday, the
tug Seguin, which draws II feet
passed up without trouble. The depth
of the channel is now about 15 feet
and previous to the jam, was about Is
feet.
At any rate. it is stated, the mud
digger is on its way from Portland. and
is expected to arrive. Friday. In two
or three days. at the outside ii j.
thought that all the accumulation will
be carried away, and the channel vii
be. as it was before. with depth of
from Is to 20 feet.
The tug boats are doing great work
hauling the RATS of logs up 20 Rich
mond and as far as Gardiner. the logs
having been sorted out in many cases
so that each owner will get his owr
logs, without further trouble.

be a continual close time on the coast
as Nova Scotia had now a close time

Governor would see that the law as
now passed would be destructive of the

for state like Massachusetts to in
duce our state to make our lobster law
to conform to theirs, and the very next
year, change the law so as to damage
and emharrass the fishery interests of
Maine.
Our lobster fishing interests are iden-
tical with those of Massachusetts, and
the experience has clearly proven that
the law as now in force, is giving the
best possible results. Our fishermen
became alarmed at the injury done by

should not be changed. 1t is no guess

if the bill becomes law in MasSachu-

FISHERIES AND GAME.
Commissioners Meet at the Capitol
and Discuss Matters.
Nine Inch Lobster Law Meets With Vigorous
Opposition in Maine.

Commissioners Hon. Henry o. Stan
ley, Hon. c. .E. Oak of the inland fish
cries and game. and Commissioner O.
B. Whitten of Portland, of the sea and
shore fisheries were at the State House
Thursday, in consultation regarding
the future jurisdiction of their respec-
tive departments, the interests being
somewhat closely interviewer.
Mr.. Carleton. the newly appointed
commissioner, was also in the city and
will give immediate attention to the
duties of his office. Mr.. Carleton in
tends tA visit every part of the State
and become fully conversant with the
many and varied interests under the
control of the commissioners. and be
come acquainted with every warden in
the department.
Judging from the drift of convcrsa-
ton of the commissioners, it is appar-
ent that the law will be rigidly en-
forced, and wardens will have to be
alert and effective in their work, OF
give place to those who will give the
State the best of service. So far as re-
lates to the present and future outlook
of the inland fish and game, everything
is bright and hopeful.
1t is expected that various changes
will be recommended in the laws,
whereby they may be in conformity

As to Lobsters.
Commissioner Whitten has just re
turned from Boston. where he had been
to make some suggestions regarding
the changes before the Massachusetts
legislature. affecting the lobster law
1t is putting it mildly in SAYING that
he was alarmed at the result of the
law passed by the Massachusetts lecis-
lature. making nine-inch Holsters mar

proceeding on the part of that state,
" illtIi IL IL DtCbllltS law W lIt dP-
prova of the governor. will lead. foi
the protection of this State. to some
stringent legislation.
The law as heretofore has limited
the length of Holsters to be taken tc
l01a inches both in Maine and Massa
chusetts, and hence there was no con
fiction of interests. In 1895. the Law
in Maine was changed from nine inches
to l01a inches by urgent request Of
Interested in lobster fisheries. The law
has worked for the best interests OF
Maine, and its enforcement has beer
much easier because small Holsters
were not allowed in the market il,
Massachusetts.
Maine lobster fishermen and dealers
have found that greater profits wert
secured by allowing the lobster to be-
come 1o'a inches in length before ta-
ken, for it brought much better prices
than a nine inch lobster
In 1894 there We're 100000 nine inch
Holsters handled in Portland in MAY
and June. and at least 100000 more il
the State. The lobster win add one
and one-haif inches or more each year
in growth, and the result is that now
just as many 10l2 inch Holsters can be
sold as could formerly nine inches.
This annually makes a difference OF
hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
lobster fishermen and dealers in Maine.

The commission sent by Venezuela
to Germany has returned after accom-
plished most satisfactory arrange ments
which bring about close identity OF
interests between the two countries.
The main features of the arrangement
are loan of 5O,O00.0O bolivars, or
$4,000, 900 of German capital to the
Venezuelan government and the estab-
lishment OF German bank with large
capital at Caracas. The large loan
comes from private German sources,
but it is felt to be not the less impor-
tant in showing the sentiment of the
German government toward Venezuela
and incidentally strengthens Vcne-
zuela's hand in the trouble with Great
Britain over boundaries.
