The Wreck of the Schooner Robert L.

Schooner Was Wrecked ten Days Ago on

The Hulk of the Vessel is Badly Dam

Now Safely Moored at the End of
Browns Wharf.
The wrack Of the Robert /. Carter

rocks and started to complete it's journey
by sailing into Portland harbor on the
food tide. 1t was picked up by tow
boat and Is now safely moored at the end
of Browns wharf.
On the morning of December 26, when
the sea was as calm as it ever is off this
coast in the winter time, when the wind
was light and the sun WAS shining
brightly, one of the best schooners that
ever sailed into this porr, ran upon the
sunken ledge known as Alden's rock
some miles off the entrance of Portland
har Dor and was given up as a total loss
by her owners. The vessel was loaded
with 1900 tons Of ccal which WAS con-

Washington, January 5.-The seventh

those interested in the agricultural

products, fruits, fish, meats, etc.
Representative Russell OF Cnnneotlc ut
presented the petition of the seed farmers
of Southern New England, advocating d
specific duty according to the following
schedules:
Five cents per pound on all turnip.

A committee composed OF Burnet
Landreth, W. B. Dreer and W. A. Burpee
Of Philadelphia, appeared In behalf OF
the seed farmers, seed importers ana
laborers.
Mr.. M. Landrsth urged that specific
duty be levied on a bushel or pound and
an increase in rates on garden seeds,
claiming that unless the farmer was CIV
on practical protection he would in many
lines be driven out of business. He sug.
gested the following schedule: Five cents

through In places, but that part of the
wreck above water which can be seen is
otherwise but little injured. Tho vessel q
lines are as perfect as they were the day
she was launched. She has not been
strained in the least and not single
plank above the bottom has been started.
Of course there are sevsral ugly holes
in the vessel bottom, and may be more
than half Of her keel is torn away but
the schooner can be repaired, SO those
who saw her yesterday believe, and just
as she lays she is worth from S5oo0 to
$4,000, and may be great deal more. At
any rate it was pretty good Investment
for $40, and the profits will be large. The
vessel will probably be towed Oh to the
fats and an examination made OF her
bottom. She may then be either sold or
repaired by the men who own her, but
just what will be done with her has not
yet been decided upon.
The coal in the schooner now 1s sup
pose1 to be worth about $500 and
probably q greater part OF this can ne
saved. One of the sickest looking men
along shore yesterday was gentleman
who ha1 bought third CT the wreok

man, who bid it in for $40. This man
sold out his interest to Mir. Bartlett Tor

held it twenty four hours longer his shore

missioner Brice.

Washington, January 5.-The annual
report of Johr J. Brice, commissioner Of
fish and fish erles, states that forty eight
million of shad eggs were collected and
from these ninety three millions fry were
planted in the streams empty ing into the
Atlantic ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The
increase in shed eggs collected is thirty
million over the previous year and II
bill now before Congress in enacted into
n law, auxiliary stations will he estab-
lished on the most OF the Important
rivers of the Atlantic coast and will re.
suit in immense increase in the output of
this species
The output Of lobster fry was ninety
seven million against seventy-two million
the previous year. and Commissioner
Brica says that there is little doubt that
the output in another year will he in
creased more than one hundred FER cent.
While the attempt to keep up the con-
stantly decreasing supply of mackeiel
along the New England coast was mora
or less experimental twenty -four million
eggs were collected. Thirty -one million
sautog eggs were collected in BuZzard's
Bay and seventeen million fry liberated
from them.
According to the report a great increase
in results at large saving OF expense
was accomplished with reference TO sal
mon Matching on the Pacific coast. The
total take or thirty seven million salmon
eggs amounted to three times as many as
were ever collected before in the United
States in any one ssacon.
1t is proposed to extend over the entire
country permanent and economical sys-
TEN of maintaining commercial fisheries
by grouping about the central hatcheries
auxiliary egg collecting stations to be
operated only during spanning season.
Another effort will be made to intro
duce Pacific salmon in Eastern waters.

from the California station 10 stations IN
New York, Vermont and Maine and Try
liberated in the Penobsoot, kennebec,
Nj errimac, Hudson. Delaware and Sus-
quehanna rivers. Attention VIII be paid
to increasing the output OF Atlantic and

ralian ballot law will

m1GGee may Q6em duVlSaUlos
Whether the Australian ballot law will
be amended this winter is question,
bue some changes are likely to be recon-
mended. The department of state has
gathered an interesting collection of the
forms of the ballots used in other states,
and glance over them impresses upon
one the idea that Maine should let well
enough alone and not make any radical
changes. The ballots have been gathered
from states all over the land and are
worth an inspection.
The other State of Massachusetts,, the
frat in New Eng land to adopt the Aus
tralian system, has made few changes in
the original method of marking the
ballots One cross at thu right of the
party name does for all the presidential
electors The candidates for state Offices
are arranged alphabetically and cross
must be made after the name OF each
person voted for. All the candidates for
governor are in one group; and oil the
candidates for other state offices are
similarly arranged, each candidate &
name being followed by the name of his
party.
New Hampshire olings so the old style.
The voter puts O. cross in the SIN all
Sc uare at the right of the name of each
person for whom he wants to vote. On
the ballot are some candidates for super.
visors of the check list. The voter may
cast a ballot for three of these by putting
crosses opposite their names. The names
of the candidates are printed in alpha
betical order, with the name OF the party
after each candidate.
The Vermont national ballot is not un
like that used in Maine. A cross i'll the
square under the name of the party casts
n yote for all tine electors of that party,
but to split the ticket cross must be
made after each name voted for instead
of erasing one name and writing in an
other as in Maine The ticket is printed
with heavy black lines about SO that i
looks as if the Vermont citizens were al
in morning. The ballot for the stats
ticket is similar to the national and the
Typography also resembles that of e
mourning mblem.
