ST. PErERsBURe, Dec. 3.-Great reti-

Russian newspapers protest against

Public opinion here is engrossed by
the Cuban question. There is little else
in the papers than the matter relating
to the reform DEGREES. The liberals are
entirely satisfied.
The Epoc regards it as an example of
ruin, the breaking up of law, consider
ing that the solution of the grave prob

ther be accepted as satisfactory, nor can
the motives brought forward in it's de-
Tense be looked upon as encouraging.
As to the rumor that the Office of colo
nial minister is to be abolished, now
that the colonies are autonomous, it is
regarded as too absurd to warrant re-
futation. More than ever will minis

Pearl Diving

Pearl diving used to be an important and
valuable industry of the coast of Mozam-
bique. Now, according to United States Con-
sui Hollis the industry is very small. Ba-
Zaruto Kafirs still continue to fish for pearls
but as they roast the oysters, instead Of let
ting them rot. the pearls are always more or
less damaged by heat. The BaZaruto pearls
as well a few that obtained near the mouth
of the Rovuma, are shipped by the Indian
traders TO Bombay and Zanzibar. Some years
ago. writes Consul Hollis, a concession was
granted by the Portuguese government for a
company Of American pearl divers to exploit
the reputed rich pearl fisheries of the Ba-
Zaruto islands, which are situated a few miles
from the coast and about midway between
Inhambane and Beira An attempt was made
to work the concession, but it is recorded by
the American consul that bad management
lack Of funds, heavy expenses and political
difficulties combined to kill the enterprise.
The pearl diver Is gradually becoming ex-
tinct particularly in the vicinity Of MoZam-

pearls in that locahty.-Washingto Post.

visitors to Isles house is a Col. Ash
