AUGUSTA LOCALS,
Great Sport Anticipated 10 keansbec Ceun.
~ Benefits Of Close Time.

The fishermen Of Kennebec county
at large are anticipating an especially
good springs sport. this year. due
doubtless. to the fact of the effect OF
the close time during the winter-that
is--the prohibition of fishing through
the ice.
placed on Lake Cobbosseecontee, last
fail, by the inland fish and game COM
missioners, to forbid fishing through
the ice on that body of water. 1t was
in response to a petition extensively
signed by prominent sportsmen all
over the county. It is estimated that,
during the winters Of 1855. at least
200 trout were taken through the ice.
The law having been enforced, this
winter. the best fishing for years is
looked for. as soon as the ice makes up.
On Lake Maranacook, where three
years close time against ice fishing has
been enforced. the sport has grown
better right along; and the effects of
the restraint is seen beyond question,
in the increase in the catches.
The close time on perch will soon go
into effect. April /. being the day, and
continuing until July.
One pond, where the supply of fish
was fast being exhausted by winter
fishing. is what is known as Three
Mile pond. On this. restriction to Sat-
urdays only has benefited the sport
very much.
Snow pond, or Lake Messalonskee,
has furnished good fishing grounds
during the winter, the law not having
been put en- there. and some handsome
catches have been taken from it's
waters.
The party Of four, consisting of w. S.
Baldwin, George Merrill. Walter N.
Foss and Will c. Miller, who went out
on trip on Lake Annabessacook. "a few
days ago-the day there was so much
sunshine-returned with a regular
midsummer burn. Any one of the
party says: "Oh, my face isn't any
thing. You ought to see the other
'fellar'." They got some fine looking
fish. George Merrill caught a five
pound bass, that was beauty. Three
of the other bass weighed. all told, II
pounds. They got altogether % fish.
A number of the sportsmen in this
section are either making occasional
trips out, or are making their prepare
tons for the spring fishing that will
soon be on

THE SELF IMMOLATlONS.

What Was Found in Investigating the
Case Of the Russian Fanatics.
London, June 1O.-The correspondent
of the Daily News at Tiraspol, Russia,
who is Investigating the case Of self
immolation of members of the religious
sect, the Raskolniki, reports of which,
have already been cabled, describes in
his second letter today the scenes at the
place of entombment. He says in the
space where the five victims were
crowded they were obliged to pack them
selves like sardines, heads and feet
alternately. One scooped cavity in
the clay wall with his fingers to give
room to lay his head. The victims
donned their best clothes, then their
funeral shrouds, and Frustrated them
selves resignedly and silently, always
in the presence of some passive CO.
fanatic. There was not single invol-
untary move while Kovaloff and his
party covered them.
A report has just arrived at Tiraspol,
says the correspondent, Of such self
immolations practiced for years past at
the village of Plotskoe, about l6 versts
distant, and the police have been or
dered to make investigation.

TARIFF ON COTTON.
Principal Product of the South Put on
the Dutiable List.

Principal Product of the South Put on
the Dutiable List.
Washington, June 10.-By the de-
cisive vote of AZ to II, the senate adopt
ed an amendment to the tariff bill plac-
ing raw cotton, the great product of
the South, on the dutiable list at 20
per cent ad valorem. It is the first
time in the history of tariff legislation
that cotton has been incorporated in
bill. The amendment was proposed by
Bacon on his individual responsibility,
and without the approval of the finance
committee, which thus far has been
requisite to the success of every amend
ment, except minor one, which went
through by default. The amendment
led to a spirited debate, disclosing
wide difference of views, and at times
causing sharp personal criticisms. On
the final vote, six Democrats-Bacon
and Clay of Georgia, McEnery of Louis
lana, McLaurin and Tillman of South
Carolina and Rawlins of Utah-voted
with the Republicans for the Bacon
amendment, while the negative vote
was solidly Democratic, with one excep-
tion-Kyle, Populist.
The debate on cotton took up most of
the day, and but little progress was
made on the bill. Early in the day
the sugar schedule was passed over, and
the agricultural schedule taken up.
The paragraph on cattle went over, but
the remainder of the agricultural sched-
ule, up to and includi ng paragraph 1928,
was agreed to as reported, all amend
ments, except that Of Bacon being re-
iected.
