DRY Goods.

New York. Nov. 27.-The occurrence of the
Thanksgiving holiday has had much to do
with reducing the aggregate of business
transacted in dry goods during the week.
The trading of to-day was of a light char
acter, both in stores and by mail orders.
There Is no strengthening Of the market
in any department and it is rumored that
there will be heavy reductions made in
cotton goods next week. Prints continue
to be unfavorably situated. Recent re.
auctions in prices have not produced any
decided increase in the demand.

Where Arc tho weakhsh ?

What has become of the weakhshf is the
question which the Raritan Bay anglers
are now asking each other. A month ago
the fish made their appearance in the
Great Kills of Staten Island, and for some
time the sport was good and promised to
be great, for tho catches were larger
and larger day after day. But just
about ten days ago the fish sud-
denly disappeared, leaving nothing but
fluke behind. Pointing to the miles of tes-
timony represented by the pounds" the
pessimists of the bewildering art aver that
the breed is broken that. walled out by
innumerable pound nets and wantonly
slaughtered by the purse nets Of pretended
menhaden men, the game fish have no
longer any road to reach their spawn.
ing grounds. In other words, owing to
the enormous distractions presented by
the miles Of nets along the Jersey shore,
there is now no longer any chance for fish
to get into the bay. The nets capture them
all, and not one-tenth of their catches, as
has been proved long ago by testimony be-
fore a committee Of the Legislature of this
State, can be marketed. The rest, composed
of dead fish crushed In the great nets, are
thrown out to flavor the shores of our wa
tering places or taken to Barren Island to
be converted into fertilizer.
Other fishermen insist that the hsh nave
gone away to spawn; that, on account of
the backward spring, tho spawning season
is late, and that the strange absence of the
bedizepNd beauties of the sea at this sea-
son is d6 simply to that cause, and that in
a few days the fish will return with appe-
titles good enough to delight the hearts Of
the most Responding anglers.
AS we see, there is a difference Of opinion
among anglers, just us there is among tariff
thinkers. which goes to show that DIR. JOHN
SONS biting a~llusion to them cannot be
correct. But II it be true that the long
lines of nets, especially on the coast of
Jersey, are destroying their sport and de-
pleting the waters of both New York and
Jersey Of game fish, the anglers should take
tho advice of The SUN. organize, and fight
for themselves In Congress.

repeal Of q municipal law affects rights Of
property vested under its provisions"
This reply is general in character, but so
also Is the assertion which 1t refutes.
Japan would prefer to have something put
into the treaty Of annexation on the sub
ject Of her rights acquired under former
treaties; but there are various details of
Hawaii's relations with former countries
which cannot be provided for in a treaty Of
this character.
The three reasons presented by Japan
have, in short, no weight whatever, as argu-
ments against annexation. They arc simply
reasons indicating why Japan desires the
continuance of Hawaii's independent exist
ence; thoy do not show why we have not
tho right to annex the country.
The treaty of annexation has properly been
made simple in terms, and 1t deals with no
e~xtraneous subjects; but in Article VI. pro-
vision In made for the appointment of con.
missioners who are to recommend to Con.
gress such legislation as may seem to be
needed. Presumably legislation concerning
tho vested rights Of Japan or other countries,
or concerning the liabilities incurred by
Hawaii, will receive full consideration by
these commissioner and by Congress.
