FISHING SITUATION.

There was not much change made in
the fishing situation yesterday From
the best Information obtainable, both
by inquiry at the hshermcn's union, Of
the cannorymen, ana Of individual FISH
ermen. Il seems that matters remain
IN statue quo. The compromise offer
OF Nr. Kinney. made Wednesday. was
not accepted. and II could not be learn
cd that the offer vas renewed yester-
day. The special committee Of the
Chamber OF Commerce appointed 20 In
tervene In the matter. reported that
they had called on both parties, and
while no actual progress had been
made. II was hoped that common
ground might be found upon which all
could stand. Others expressed the
opinion that there was small chance OF
any Arrangement being effected. and
that all concerned might as well make
up their minds that there would be no
fishing this season. A report was cur
rent in certain quarters that the Sean
dinavian Packing company's men
would yet be permitted to go out. or
that they would go out. None Of the
rumors could be verified in any authen-
tic quarters, The officers OF the union
stated that there was absolutely no
change In the situation.

sion of the house was devoid Of public
interest The appropriation bills had
been passed and the house simply walt
cd for the end to come. A number Of
members were made happy by the pas
sage OF some local h:il~ Of interest to
their districts. Beyond little misun-
derstanding between Bailey and Marsh.
the utmost good feeling prevailed.
There was an attempt by Bailey and
Maguife to precipitate a political dis
cussion in the last half hour Of the
session. but the Republicans declined
the guage OF combat thrown to them.
Turner. who was the floor leader OF
the minority during the absence Of
Crisp. offered a resolution Of thanks
to the speaker. which was adopted By
a standing vote, most unusual honor.
The speaker closed the session with a
graceful speech, in which he thanked
the members most cordially and felicl-
tated them on the work Of the session.

St. Louis. June 1.-There are hun
dreds OF forms OF financial planks for
the Republican national platform at
the Mckinley headquarters in St.
Louis, and in the hands OF McKinley's
friends. who will largely determine
what the platform shall be. More than
week ago there was sent out to the
papers various forms Of the declara-
tiOn which was wanted This was done
for the purpose OF securing the views
of the financial plans from all section
and from people interested in the char
acter of the financial resolutions. This
has been anticipated and forms have
been coming in from every point in
the country. The Mckinley managers
have not only been able to obtain forms
for financial planks, but they have
been able to secure the views of men
all over the country whose opinions
are worth having. The more the mat
ter is considered the more it appears
that the Republican national platform
win conform closely to that of
the Indiana convention. with all
reference to the ratio stricken out. The
Indiana platform declares against the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at "a ratio of ls to 1. 1t proposes to
cut off the sentence quoted and end
with straight declaration against free
coinage. All expectancy of forming a
financial plank which viii be satisfac-
tory to Teller and his followers from
the silver producing states has been
long abandoned.

that by special arrangement with Mr..
Frank F. Muller of New York he has
secured for a limited engagement Alex

Jerry, the greatest recent success in New

Washington and San Francisco The
presentation of Miss Jerry will be at the
Burbank theater one week, beginning
Sunday evening, July 18th. This is the
first time this season that Miss Jerry
has been played at popular prices, and
to Manager Cooper belongs the credit
for having secured a high-priced at
traction so it could be seen at popular
prices in reach of all. Miss Jerry is a
love story illustrated with Photographic
pictures Of real scenes and real people.
The invention Of the picture play intro
duces an entirelynew form of entertain
ment, and one the popularity of which
was quickly assured. Love story and
pictures-the combination is invincible.
Miss jerry has been called "a play on a
white sheet" The pictures thrown upon
the screen dissolve one into another at
the rate Of three or four to the minute.
producing remarkably realistic effect
in the hgures, which are all photograph
ed from life and appear life-size on the
screen. While the pictures are thus
telling the story through the eye the
reader Is vocally telling the story, and
the result, as MIR. Howells, says, is de
ilgntfully surprising"
