One Towed q Launch, Which Was Back
ing Water at Speed Of Six Knots.
The Sportsmen's Review tells of the
strength of the devil fish, which are
caught regularly as a pastime at only
one point on the gulf. The fishermen
of Naples on the Gulf'of Mexico fish for
the devil fish and get them:
'Col. Bob Holloway" according to
the Review, twas fishing for the mon
sters with a party. of friends, from a
naphtha launch, when they had strike.
The launch was 25 feet long and con-
tanned ten persons. This the fish towed
around for an hour, attaining a speed of
six knots at times, in spite of the fact
that the propeller of the launch was
backing. The whole fight was in sight
of the hotel guests, who had assembled
to see the battle between fin and pro-
peller. When the animal. was finally
tired out and towed ashore it required
SIX men to drag it out. On propping its
mouth open a salt barrel could have
been rolled into it. 1t measured % feet
from wing tip to wing tip"
Another Naples fish story follows:
'Mrs, Hugh Mcdonald was fishing for
sharks. She had bite. On pulling in,
the head of a shark that had been at
least four feet long was found. Some
shark had bitten the first capture in
two. Later the big fellow was hooked
by Mrs. Mcdonald and was pulled in.
The second shark was more than Is
teet long.(---- z5z4Es3

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The presi-
dent has appointed John II. Hail United
States attorney for the district of Ore
gon.
No explanation is given why the ap-
pointment of Hall as district attorney
was hello back. The appointment was
certainly made yesterday, as the presi-
dent left Washington yesterday after
noon. 1t is said that the failure to an
nounce it was due to an error in the
department of justice. Hall received
his commission before he left today,
and will take charge of the Office as
soon as.he returns home.
The appointment of the men recon-
meuded by the delegation, notwith-
standing the protests of the opposition,
is explained by a close friend of Nc
Kinley, who says that the administra-
tion will not turn down member in
his district or delegation, unless
there are grave reasons for so doing.
The delegation was extremely anx-
ious. to have action taken on their rec
concentrations before congress met and
the senate, committee reported on the

would:give such standing as to ma
terially interfere with the delegations
recommendations and right to be con-
