a scuRRILoUs ATTACK.
Friends Of the Late James W. Scott, Of Chi
cago. are Very Angry.

CHICAGO, Illinois, October 2 --Justi.
fable indignation is manifested among
the thousands Of local friends Of the
late James w. Scott, founder Of the
Chicago Herald, and one Of the found
ers and for many years president OF the
American Newspaper Publishers as.
sociation, concerning scnrrilous attack
upon his memory recently published in
New York. The attack is known to
have emanated from a source from
which gratitude rather than defamation
might have been expected. Among
other things it declared that the sud-
den death in New York of Mr.. Scott
was due to chagrin resulting from his
absolute failure to float in that city
bonds OF the Times. Herald company.
Concerning this allegation one of the
leading financiers of Chicago, and a
gentleman who In personal and social
relations was almost brother to James
w. Scott, said to-day:
"The allegation borders on the viii
famous. MIR. Scott was in control of
ample funds. His visit east, in COM
pany with his wife, was purely one in
search of rest and relief from the busi-
ness strain of the previous months. He
made no attempt to place bonds in
New York, tor the simple reason that
there were no bonds to place."
The attack upon Mr.. Scott's memory
will be made the subject Of resolutions
to be submitted 70 the next annual
OF the American Newspaper
association.

TO DEFEND THE STRAITS

MONTREAL, Quebec, October 2.--T
M. Pierson, who is conducting the
telegraph strike on the Canadian Pa
cific railway on behalf of the order oi
railway telegraphers, was, to-day. re-
inforced by Grand Chief Powell, OF
Peoria, Ills. They report their situa.
tlon stronger than it was yesterday for
two reasons: First, the operators Of
western Ontario, who were misled by
false reports and again went to work,
have again struck; second, by the fact
that the company is growing more con-
ciliatory, which is sign OF weakness.
No decision has been made yet with
reference to the company's offer that
all operators whose places have not
been filled may return to work, and that
their grievances would be referred to the
district superintendents with the head
officials as an ultimate court OF appeal.
1t is pretty certain, however, that the
offer will not be accepted. Trains In
the district of Montreal are now being
moved with considerable regularity,
but the train service to the Pacific coast
is still hampered considerably.
TORONTO, Ont, October "A depu-
tation representing the trainmen, en-
gineers, conductors and firemen on the
Canadian Pacific railway, waited on
Supt. Leonard to-day TO talk over the
strike of telegraphers, and to urge a
compromise of the trouble. The
superintendent received them cordially.
This evening deputation will meet
the strikers at Toronto Junction, to
discuss the position with them. There
is less talk of general strike to-day.

WILMINGTON, Della, October 2.-
Announcement was made on Saturday
last under St. Louis date that there
was possibility of postponement OF
the national convention of carriage
builders which was to have been held
in that city during the second week in
October. AS sequel to this announce
ment a statement was issued to-day by
Henry G. McLear, of this city, secre-
tary and treasurer of the association,
announcing that, by request of many
of the members, and on account OF
business stringency and campaign ex-
element, it has been thought best to
postpone the convention 70 next year,
in justice to the city wherein the con-
vention was to be held.

NAV rlsh Il october.

Inasmuch as this is the fret day Of Octo-
ber, and the impression prevails that the
trout fishing season closed last night when
the hands Of the dial marked IL o'clock. .
Santa Fs Neio Merican scribe concluded
to make an examination OF the statutes OF
New Mexico on the subject Of trout fishing
in this Territory. This investigation re-
suited in the discovery of fact apparent
ly not generally known either to lawyers
or laymen.
The compiled laws Of 1884 provided that
''it shall not be lawful to kill, take, or have
in possession, any trout or other food fish,
taken or killed In any of the public waters
of this Territory, during the months Of
December, January, February, March and
April, or either of said months, In any
year."
The general laws OF New Mexico for
1889, chapter SO, section 4, page 1l0, amend
ed this law so as to add the months OF No
vember and May to the closed season.. So
the fishing season in New Mexico will close
on November 1st until the first OF next
June, and the fishermen Qncluding several
fish wardens) have been violating the law
since 1890, by catching trout in the month
of May. Probably they will not do so any
more, unless the act of 1889 is amended,
but win fish during pleasant days of this
month.
