er the fishery resources and the means for
their preseTyat ton. among others ths
Great Lakes. the Columbia river and the
waters between British Columbia and the
state q Washington. The commissioners
say they found Il imDosS lo&s 10 cons4de~
fully all the questions the subject present.
ell. and therefore. have been unable in
many cases 10 reaca more than general
conclusions.
'NOur observations they saw have
clearly demonstrated the mex pedi-ncy OF
attempting 10 regulate any of the fab
cries herein described BY a rigid code OF
efIactfneats. owing to their constantly
changing character and conditions, and
we therefore urge, IN the event Of joint
action by the two governments that "A
permanent joint commission. 70 be com
posed OF competent experts. be provided.
which shall be charged with the direct
supervision OF these fisheries. and shall
be empowered 20 conduct stfgatfons
ard modify regulations as circumstances
require"
The commissioners say no system Of
regulations can be properly administered
except BY the licensing or registration of
fishermen as a basis Of restricting the
character ard amount OF apparatus en-
ployed IN each locality

NOT ALTOGETHER PLEASED,
Renr Admiral Selfrfdgc ON the Detail
of Rear Admiral Miller Abroad.

Rear Admiral Selfrfdgc on the Detail
of Rear Admiral Miller Abroad.
Rear Admiral Selfridge, commanding the
European squadron, is not altogether
pleased at the action of the Navy Depart
ment in detailing Rear Admiral Miller as
the represen; alive of the United States
navy at Queen Victoria's jubilee, regarding
it apparently as an encroachment on his
preserves.
A friend of his at the department recently
received a letter from him on the subject,
In which he pointed out that as he was in
command of the station, he was the proper
person to represent the navy at the jubilee
He explained that American interests in
the eastern Mediterranean were in no dan
ger al present, and that he could leave
there with perfect safety. He has since re-
peated this statement by cable from Smyr-
ma, adding that the naval force in the Le-
want was ample and that he did not re-
qIire any more ships.
Secretary Long has cabled him IN reply
that the department considered it nec.s-
sary, In view of the war between Greece
and Turkey, that he should stay where Re
IS Tor the present, and directing him 10
Keep In close communication with the Unit
ed states ministers AT Athens and Constan-
unople in order that he might be able 10
dispatch vessel to any point where Amer
lcan interests Were i'm danger The Sc ,re-
tary also reiterated his purpose to send Adj
mlral Miller in the Brooklyn as the repre-
sentative of the navy at the queens Jubilee

WELLESLEY GIRLS EXPELLED.
They Were Leaders of q Beer an
Cigarette Party.

They Were Leaders of q Beer and
Cigarette Party.
Wellesley College has been rudely dis
turbed by the pranks Of several students,
who have been summarily dealt with by
the faculty. 1t is all on account of the
superabundance of animal spirits of some
of the young women.
Tuesday and Wednesday 1.-The illness Of
relatives of three students compelled their
immediate departure Trunks were hastily
packed and bicycles and Saratogas incum-
bered the station platform, while a cloud
of maidens thronged the platform to bid
adieu to those suddenly called home-for
good.
Nearly all CT the girls forming the set
in which these girls moved ride BICYCLES,
and in the pursuit of exercise they were
allowed to take long rides on pleasant
afternoons. To Natick was the favorite
trip, and according to the stories told, the
wheeling excursions were accompanied by
unsanctioned indulgence in a certain LIQUID
valued at $50 a quart.
This, in measure, accounts for the fact
that they did not observe the rules of the
institution fcrbidding the taking of intoxi-
cants unless prescribed by the college
physician.
The girls were watched closely, and the
first of the week a beer and cigarette party
came to the ears of the college authorities,
and at a faculty meeting the situation was
considered. the girls implicated placed on
the rack and the chief Offenders ordered to
leave the college.

to why he has not yet taken steps to carry

that the act Of Congress. and the COM
