BASS Fishing.

Sunday and yesterday the Great Falls
electric road was patronized by scores of
fishermen in quest of sport on the upper
Potomac, and some of them returned with
their baskets well filled with perch and
mullets. Perch fishing in the vicinity OF
the Chain bridge is good, and fishermen
with nets dipped great many herring and
few shad. Mullet fishing is good above
the Little aFlls, especially in the several
branches which empty into the river So ia,
as could be ascertained no bass were
caught. The water is yet too cold for bass
fishing, but experienced anglers say that
with continued warm weather, bass will be
running in about week or two.

United States Consul o'Hara at San

Under this arrangement large ship
ments will continue to that port, which,
practically under the conacssion, controls
the Nicaraguan output, and from whence
they are distributed to England and other
parts of the would.
The consul also reports that the Mica
raguan government has issued q decree
granting to any person who shall Guilt
yate a thousand or more vanilla plants on
lands belonging to the republic a premium
Of 10 cents for each plant and the right
to take up 346 acres of national lands to
be paid for with the proceeds OF the pre-
MUM. The law is to remain in force ten
years.
Commenting on the criticisms of British
trade journals that certain boots and shoes
used in Nicaragua are unworthy of duplica-
ton in England even for the Nicaraguan
trade, the consul shows that not only are
the most worthless shoes sold n that coun-
try of British ma nufacture, but also that
wooden goods, claimed to be OF British
make, speedily lose their color.
