TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR LIBEL
The Evening Journal Of ottowa, Cana
da, contains the following. 1t hardly
probable, however, that DR.. Howard
will return to Fairfax to enforce hisjudg-
ment:
CARLETON PLACE, Nov. 10.
The suit of DR.. Howard. OF the
Oriens Manufacturing Company of this
town, against Joseph Specht, million
aire of Gunston, Virginia, has been con-
cluded at the county assizes in Perth.
The action was for defamatory libel. 1t
appears that last winter the defendant,
Specht, wrote letters. containing grossly
slanderous statements in reference to
DIR. Howard.
These libellous letters were written
to Postmaster Struthers. Chief Wilson
and others, but came Immediately into
the hands of DR.. Howard. There was
no defence and the judge charged the
Jury strongly in favor of the plaintiff,
and as result verdict for $4,000 and
costs was given. The judgment will
now be carried to the High Court OF
the United States for execution. 1t is
understood that similar actions will
shortly be taken against the Montreal
Star and the New York Herald.

ELECTION EFFECTS
Ex-Mayor Grant Declines to Make
Predictions

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The Journal
and Advertiser prints the following
from ex-Mayor Hugh Grant concerning
Mr.. Bryan and the recent New York
election:
"The conclusion of Mr.. Bryan that the
results of the recent election indicate
popular dissatisfaction with the policy
Of the Republican party is undoubtedly
correct. I heartily hope that the Re-
publican party will be overthroWn in
1900, but it is early for any one but an
enthusiast like Mr.. Bryan to make up
his mind what will happen three years
hence.
Most of the George men were en-
thusiasts, who believed that If theory
to which they subscribe could be put into
operation upon the affairs of life, the
condition of society would be made bet
ter. Others Of them were believers in
the 16 to 1 theory, who had been led
astray because of their enthusiasm. All
of them ought to have been Democrats.
The latter would have been with us if
Mr.. Bryan had not deferred them. He
was sufficiently acquainted with the To-
cal situation in New York City in 1896
to talk about it with complete assur-
ance. He ought to have been able to
make himself acquainted with it in 1897.
"Ie did nothing for the local Democ-
racy this year. The Secretary of the
Democratic National Committee, who is
presumably very close to him in sympa-
thy, repudiated the candidacy of Judge
Van Wyck, on the ground that Judge
Van Wyck did not stand upon the silver
platform Of the Chicago convention, and
gave to Mr.. George whatever support he
had to give. The trouble with Mr.. Bryan
and the Secretary Of the National Com
mittee is that they cannot adapt them
selves to changing conditions.
1--WE are distinctly Democrats who in
sist upon taking things as they are. I
shall be happy il, three years hence, Mr..
Bryan's prediction is verified, but I do
not take much interest in predictions
that have so long to rum"

TO DOWN HANNA
A Deal All Arranged to Elect Bush
nell to the Senate

COLUMBUS. O., Nov. S-A local
Democratic newspaper prints an inter-
view with G. v. Harris. secretary of the
Democratic committee, in which that
gentleman Is quoted as saying that at a
conference Of Democratic leader of the
state it was decided to pledge the votes
of as many Democratic members of the
general assembly as could be controlled
to Governor Bushnell for United States
senator, on condition that the governor
could command enough Republican
votes to make his election possible. Mr..
Harris is editor of the Athens Journal.
He is quoted as saying:
1--WE have decided to throw the Demo-
cratic vote in the next general assembly
to Governor Bushnell, on condition that
he can get votes enough from the Re-
publican side of the house to elect him.
So many of the Republican members
want to down Hanna that we think
there will be no difficulty in this. The

THE SALE AFFIRMED
FISH TO FRY
Brice Reports on the Seasons Pisca-
torial Work


WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-United
States Fish Commissioner John Brice
has submitted to the president sum-
mary Of the work accomplished by the
fish commission since December /, 1896.
To further test the feasibility of the
introduction of Quinnat salmon in east
ern waters, five million eggs were trans
formed from the Battle Creek (Califor-
nia) station during the fall of 1885, and
as result 100000 fry were liberated
during the past spring in the st. Law
renee. Hudson and Delaware rivers in
Maine. The acclimation of steel-head
trout in eastern waters was continued.
The rainbow trout, native only to the
mountain streams of the Pacific coast,
has been successfully naturalized in
nearly every state east Of the Rocky
mountains. Last spring the Albatross
entered on an important examination
of salmon streams of Alaska The
very active production of the fisheries in
certain streams threatens seriously to
reduce the supply unless effective meas
ures are taken to overcome the destruc-
ton. The conditions are so various
along the three thousand miles of the
Alaskan coast on which salmon fishing
is done that no general protection law
can be framed that will apply to all re-
gions.

1T is the policy of the administration
to allow sparring matches for points. a
limited number of rounds with big
gloves. These exhibitions must be given
after proper permits have been secured

were recently given at Tattersall's can

DIAMOND DUST
League Ball Managers Will Try to
Correct Abuses

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The Herald
says: The National League and the
American Association of baseball clubs
will begin their usual meeting in Phil
adelphia tomorrow. Standing out prom
inently on the list of subjects to be con-
eidered Is the Temple Cup question.
None the less prominent is mass of evil
dence concerning the rowdyism of play
ers on the field, which increased last
year to such proportions as to disgust
the public.
w. c. Temple of Pittsburg. who gave
the National League the trophy which
bears his name. has announced that he
will be at the meeting to protest against
the abuses which have crept more and
more into the games played for the
cup. He says that in the very first con-
test for the cup in 1894. between New
York and Baltimore, one important con-
dition-that of the division of the gate
receipts-was violated, some of the play
ers, instead of standing on the'provision
Of go per cent Of the receipts to the win
ners and 40 per cent to the losers, agree
ing to divide on so per cent basis. Mr..
Temple says he asked the league to pun
ish these players, but was told to let the
matter pass-that a similar offense
would probably not be committed again.
That, in his opinion, was serious mis-
take, for had the offending players been
punished at the time, no further Of
lenses would have been committed. and
there would have been no scandal this
fall.
Some club owners are opposed to the
Temple Cup altogether; others are in
favor of 1t and will work for it's con-
tinuation.
Edward Hanlon, manager of the Balti-
more team, very naturally will use his
energies in support Of 1t.
Mr.. Hanlon has adopted the sugges-
tion of A. Soden of the Boston club. that
the clubs contribute a fund of $12, 900 to
be divided among the players of the
three leading clubs. This amount could
be raised by each club subscribing $1,000
or by setting aside certain percentage
Of the gate receipts of every game.
