The Fish of Florida.

When the dweller in the North wants
to go fishing in the winter or spring he
comes to Florida as the Mecca Of all
lovers of the sport, and he is never dis
appointed in his success in angling.
Fish Of every variety are ODE had for
the simple trouble of dropping into the
water hook and line provided with
the proper bait, and the man who can
not make a success of a fishing trip has
not sense enough to carry OH any other
mission in life.
But the people of Florida do not
seem to realize the Importance of the
opportunity in this particular industry
that lies before them. LII no waters
on earth can the pompano be secured
in such quantity and such perfection
as on the Florida coast, and the same
may be said of the trout, and many
other varieties of table fish that are
common food to our people, but rare
delicacies to other sections of the
country. With the growth of refrig-
Grating facilities in transportation,
which proves itself day by day, Flori-
da fisheries must become institutions
of national importance.-Jackso

Demand for Dogs Decreasing.

Dealers in dogs say that the de nand
for their stock has decreased rapidly.
They declare that the woman who for
merly fondled puppies and terriers for
amusement now devotes herself to her
bicycle so enthusiastically that she has
no leisure for dogs. The demand for
large dogs has almost ceased, because
the men who used to take them on
their walks now ride a wheel, and
don't want to be bothered with dogs.
Several men who ride regularly OH the
boulevard are followed by dogs, but
this hasn't become a fad. A man who
owns q KENNEL offered to make me a
present of a st. bernard pup the other

The New Lawmakers.

Washington. Republican and
Democratic congressional headquarters
the chairmen have been figuring on the
complexion of the next house. Chair
man Babcock says he has complete re-
ports from 1893 congressional districts,
which have elected Republicans; that
there are 1876 districts that have elect
ed Democrats and Populists, and 2S
districts in which the returns are in
complete. These may all be classed as
doubtful, he says, with the prospects
that the Republicans will secure at
least one half of them, which would
make a total Republican membership
in the fifty fifth congress of 207. He
claims that, under no circumstances.
will TIN Republican membership fall
below 200.
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the
Democratic committee, although he
does not conoede the Republicans q
majority in the next house, gives them
176, within three of a majority.
The Democrats have made gains as
follows: Delaware, /; Illinois, 1; Mis-
souri,, 4; New York. l.; total, IL.
The Republicans have gained as fol.
lows: Maryland, 8.
The Demo-Populists have gained

The Flood of Gold.

New York. Nov. 1.-The banks
are contemplating the resumption of
specie payments which they suspended
in February, 1892, by refusing to sup
pl, gold for export and for payment of
government dues. That action threw
the burden of supplying gold upon the
treasury, and eventually forced the is
sue of bonds by the government, which
aroused SO much complaint. Since the
election the metal has been coming into
the banks in such flood that they see
their way clear to what can be termed
a resumption of specie payments. By
this action of the banks gold will be
put into circulation, and no occasion
whatever will exist for boarding it.
They will also resume the task of sup
plying gold for export and thus relieve
the treasury OF great strain.

Object OF Ramon wiIliamS Visit to
Madrid.

Object OF Ramon william, Visit to
Madrid.
New York, Nov. 1O.-The Morning
Advertiser will say tomorrow:
1t was reported in this city yester-
day that the ex-consul-geueralt to Ha.
vana, Ramon Williams, might be ex.
pected here from Europe in about ten
days. Although the fact of Mr.. Will
iams' presence in Spain escaped the
vigilance Of the newspaper correspond
ents in the Spanish capital, 1t is new.
ertheless true that he has been in
Madrid for three weeks past, and in the
immediate circle of his family it was
announced that he was to leave for
New York by one of the North German
Lloyd liners on Saturday last.
While the fact cannot, for obvious
reasons, be definitely learned, it Is gen.
orally believed by his personal friends
that Mr.. Williams visit to Spain has
been as an agent of the United States,
with the view of making some arrange
ment by which a peaoeable solution Of
the Cuban question might be brought
about.
1t will be remembered that, on re-
turning from Havana. Mr.. Williams
spent some time in Washington, where
he had several lengthy interviews with
President Cleveland and Secretary
Olney. He then left for Europe, sail
ing September 18, it being generally
supposed that his trip was taken for
rest and in the interest of his health.
He first visited England and then
crossed over to France, and, as it now
transpires, proceeded thence to Madrid,
where he has been for little over
three weeks
