A FlsH's MEMORY. Nes
German Professor Wants Informa-
tion on the Subject.

tt0n on the Subject.
We have to live such busy, cyclopaedic
lives nowadays that it is very delightful
sometimes to turn aside into some quiet
corner and watch "a specialist at work,
says the Westminster Gazette. 1t may
be only the eye of fly or the digestive
apparatus of caterpillar, but he de-
votes his life to it and thinks nothing Of
all the noise and human struggles 60
ing on outside. A German professor,
Ludwig Edinger, is absorbed at present
in the question: "Have fish memory?"
and he has written to the Lancet to in
yite information on the subject. 1t
may seem trivial question and the
brain of fish may be very small guam
tity, but great many little thing in
nature are worth studying, and even if
the problem cannot be solved it will
give a good opening for fish stories.
Every disciple of Izaak Walton will
have something to say and anecdotes
to tell to back his opinions. There are
no fish in the neighborhood of Fleet
street, and, therefore, we cannot try
experiments, and the only contribution
we can make to the discussion is to ask
why anglers have to be so particular
about the make and color of their arti-
fetal flies if fish have no memory. II
fish have vision without sense of mem-
ory surely they would never discrim-
mate between May fly and a red
spinner and anglers would be saved a
lot of trouble,

Held up and Shot.

FARMINGToN, Oct 23.-Orville BAY
den, a young man, aged 81 years, was
murdered by highwaymen shortly be-
fore midnighht last night.
A number of young men were as
sembled in saloon just across the
Idaho line. Two of them started for
their homes in the town, and at bend
in the road were held up and robbed
by the highwaymen and compelled to
conceal themselves in fence corner
under penalty of death. A few minutes
later, Hayden, his brother and COM
panion came along, and were ordered
to throw up their hands. They made
a show of resistance, and the robbers
fired two shots from revolvers. One
ball entered Hayden's breast and
passed entirely through his body. He
ran back to the saloon. fell across the
doorstep and quickly expired. The
robbers ran off in the darkness.

SEATTLE, Oct. 25.--The passengers
OF the Farallon, which arrived here
yesterday from Alaska, bring the news
of a murder committed near Lake
Tagish, October l. Two men from
Seattle, named Henderson and Peter
son, quarreled over q trivial matter,
and Henderson, after stabbing Peter
son with bowie knife several times,
drew a revolver and beat his victims
head into jelly. Peterson died soon
after.
Henderson was arrested and bound
to tree for 10 days until the arrival of
the Canadian mounted police, who

SEATTLE, Oct. 2I.-The steamer
Humboldt arrived last night at II
o'clock, with five men direct from
Dawson City, leaving there September
| 3, and three men from MinoCk and
other points on the Yukon. They say
no more gold will come out this fall,
as this steamer has taken the last of
those who have come down the Yukon.
The river is already frozen hard, and
the river boats are laid up for the win
ter. The Humboldt left st. Michaels
October 9.
The five men from Dawson are John
F. Miller and Frank E. Sims, of this
city; G. A. Harrison, of Atchison, Kan;
William Dubell, of New Jersey, and
William Rraund, o. Black Diamond,
Wash. They were passengers on the
river steamer Margaret. which cane
down the river to within 40 miles of
St. Michaels. When they found the
river blocked with ice, they resolved
to come overland at all hazards to st.
Michaels. For seven days they crept
forward through terrible wind and
snow storms. Some of them fell in
their tracks and had to he helped by
their stronger companions. They
crossed rivers covered with thin coat
ing of ice by lying down and pushing
their packs before them, and at night
they sought shelter from the storm by
budding in an Eskimo tent, or entire
ly unprotected from the biting wind,
save by blankets.
Of the 5000 or 5000 people in Dawson
and vicinity, at least 1000 will be
obliged to fee from impending starva-
tion. Up to September 3, when the
Miller party left Dawson, new arrivals
mum bered from three to 20 per day,
and there is no doubt that the ratio
will be continued all winter. Three
hundred men were working in the
gulches, and in the hills were several
hundred prospectors, all of whom know
nothing of the shortage, and were de-
pending on the company stores for
provisions.
One way of relief is open to the
miners. Five hundred or 1000 could
winter at Circle City, 100 miles below
Dawson, and draw their supplies by
dog train from Fort Yukon. Circle
City has 500 houses, and is said to be
the largest log-cabin town in the world.
John F. Miller, however, says there
will not necessarily be starvation, but
certainly the miners will suffer ex-
treme privation.
Five hundred men intended to come |
down the river, but that is closed, and |
they cannot get out. There is no |
doubt that the people of Dawson have |
been alive to the situation for six |

Cheap Railroading.

1t is quite true, says the Engineering
and Mining journal, that the kingdom
Of Denmark does not possess very ex-
tended area, but the government, by
building railroads and buying those
built by private enterprise has now sue
ceeded in giving to its inhabitants
very cheap means of locomotion, and at
the same time owns a valuable asset for
a large amount of its national debt. The
freight rates are already the lowest
known. A bill introduced by the gov
erment proposes to abolish return
tickets and only to issue direct tickets
between all stations. One viii be able

of Denmark third-elass for a sum not

MADRID, Oct. 23.-In the special
note to Minister Woodford, the gov
ernment declares that Spain has done
all in her power to end the war in
Cuba, and cites the many sacrifices
Which have been made by the nation,
the number of troops sent to Cuba and
the reforms which are carried out on
the island, which are fully described.
The note ends with the statement
that "Spain will not admit the right
of any foreign power to interfere in
any OF her affairs"
Ell Tempo publishes with reserve the
announcement that the reply OF the
Spanish government to the United
States, presented to General Woodford,
the American minister at Madrid, de-
clares that, if the United States does
not stop the sailing of filibustering ex-
peditions from American ports, Spain
will re-establish the right to search
vessels anchoring in Cuban waters.

as the result of negotiations between
Spain and the United States, and

nation will under no circumstances
authorize d remuneration of Spain's
rights.

polite idvitation to continue Ehe

a transparent compromise to saYe the
feelings of the strong minority of
bimetalists in the cabinet
The ministry, acting upon the in
vitation of the financial experts of the
Indian government, declines to reopen
the mints to silver, This was the
chief concession which was asked by
the two governments, and it has been
refused under various pleas of ex-
pediency and necessity based upon
the existing conditions of Indian
finance.
The chancellor of the exchequer
also discusses the other concessions
which were considered in the various
conferences with the American anr
French am mbassadors and the three
ENJOYS, and virtually refuses to act
favorably upon any of the proposals..

willingness of the government to pro-
long conferences and consider any
other proposals which may be pre-
sented. He sus gests no alternative
plan of his own, but leaves tn two
governments free to act upon their

ing substantial reforms.
While not fully advised as to Spain's
reply to Secretary Sherman's note,
presented by Minister Woodford in
Septerber, its general character is
known here, and it is not anticipated
by the president that any friction will
arise between the two countries as a
result of the exchange of notes.
The prime object the president had
in view when General Woodford went
to Madrid was bringing about an i'm
proved condition of affairs in Cuba be-
fore congress reassembled. Spain's
reply and her instructions to the new
,aptain-general of Cuba will show an
advanced step in that direction.
