Judge Jackson has on application of
the Monongahela Coal Company made
the injunction against Debs perpetual
He appears to think the injunction is
such good thing that there isn't any
danger of too much of it. Therein he
differs from the expressed opinions of
quite a number of learned judges who
have acted somewhat unusually in
publicly expressing their opinions.
Debs, however, ought to be satisfied
for he now has a free perpetual adver-
tisement. His power for mischief
chiefly lies in provoking the establish
ment of precedents, which if right in
the main are obnoxious to many. This
injunction appears to have served the
purpose for which it was issued and
there were excellent grounds for it, al
though it must be admitted that many
who are neither anarchists nor friends
of anarchists questioned the wisdom of
it and there will probably be more who
will question the wisdom of maxim 8

wreaking itself upon the Cuban town of

upon the town of :. despair, ironically
named La Esperanza, whose mayor and

two coons on the duck beds at the

coons and two foxes enclosed in long
tie-up.
There is every indication Of large

in August about forty fine fish have

bait and the sarfine factories with sar-
dine fish. The sardine industry here Is
better this season than ever before
Both factories are running at their full
capacity and still have large orders
ahead.
F. NJ. Tucker and Frank Trecartin of
Lubec, had excellent success at pollock
fishing recently. They landed in q shor..
time, without EITHER bait or hook forty
six large fish. Such a thing never before
occurred in the open bay. william
COTS weir was alive with good sized
pollock. He took out over twelve hun
bred at one tide.
Fish is very scarce and the vessels
sailing into Portland are doing very
little business just now. The dog fish
are ravaging the coast and driving
away all of the fish. The travis are
useless and the fishermen when they
haul them up either find that all Of
their bait has been destroyed or that
they have caught a score or more Of
useless dog fish. Many Of the fisher
men who have been engaged in sword
fishing this season are now making
plans to go outside on their regular fall
cruises and are fitting up their vessels
for this work. The dog fish are not ex-
pected to remain off this coast very
much longer and when they migrate
southwark the fishermen hope tQs get
some fish.

Andree and His Balloon.

Just now there is renewed interest in
polar expeditions what with the return
of Peary's vessel and the report of the
finding Of one of Andree's carrier
pigeons. This of course renews the
theories and affords basis for the max
ing of new ones. The general opinion
now seems to be that Andree could not
have floated over the North pole in his
air ship but must have been swept to
one side in a northeasterly direction by
adverse winds. The report of the bal
loon being seen in Siberia G2 days later
than the date of the message borne by
the pigeon has also revived interest in
computations respecting the time the
air ship was likely to float, and is con-
sidered by many as indicating that An
dree cut loose from it in the ice pack.
The original balloon, of 6S feet dia-
meter and containing 10000 cubic feet,
was enlarged last winter by putting in
a strip 37.5 inches wide around the
equator. This enlarged the capacity
to 10000 cubic feet. AT the first the
loss of gas was $50 cubic feet a day, or
repairs and unavoidable punctures,
however, the loss of gas at the start
amounted to 1850 cubic feet day, or
one per cent. DR.. Ekholm gives the
balloon voyage of from % to "a days,
but it is not easy to understand his
computation, say some of the author
tiles. The lifting power of the balloon
was over 1900 pounds. The total
weight of the balloon and necessary
over 1000 pounds, and the three men
would weigh 500 pounds. This would
give more than sevcnty-five days flota-
ton. 1t is probable that DR.. Ekholm
has computed in the weight of the car,
instruments, steering apparatus, etc.
1t is customary to calculate everything
movable as ballast to be used in an
emergency, the voyagers finally cling
ing to the ring of the balloon. In many
cases disabled balloon has been able
to keep afloat, even after it touches
ground or water. for the release of a
part of the weight by touching keeps
the balloon going. The start of the
Eagle was Sunday, july II, at 14.35
hours. Its first bound was to a height
of $50 feet, but Immediately after there
was drop, owing to a recoil, little I'M
derstood at present, which almost in
variably attends an ascension in high
wind. Andree at once threw off 46O
pounds ballast ESTIMATED probably
from the bags of sand emptied). This
left him only $50 pounds of sand bal
last, as most of the ballast consisted Of
food and ropes. The balloon at once
rose to about 1900 feet, just clearing
Vogelsang island.
1t is noticeable that, although many
regard the attempt as a failure so far
as discovering the pole is concerned,
if not as regards the life of Andrea and
his two companions, the theory that
such an expedition is capable of being
successfully carried out is becoming
more widely accepted and the French
are already planning an expedition of
the sort next year.

A Mammoth Ocean Liner.

1t may afford William the Sudden
some relief for his disappointment over
the obstacles he meets in his efforts to
rival England's navy to know that a
German steamship easily surpasses all
others in several important respects.
The new twin screw steamship OF the
North American German Lloyd line.
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. Is the larg-
est steamship to float since the great
Eastern. On her first trip to South
ampton the vessel attained an average
speed of POI knots with 6S revolutions
of her engines. Her passenger capac-
ity is 755, for which she will afford SUI
made deck for first saloon passengers,
of which class she will be able to carry
$50 is 400 feet long. The main dining
room is so spacious that the full COM
plement of first-cabin passengers can
take their meals at one time There
are also four small dining-rooms ad-
joining the main saloon, and close to
one specially designed for the use of
children and nurses. A considerable
proportion of the staterooms has been
arranged for single occupancy thus re-
leving persons travelling alone of the
necessity of sharing stateroom with
an enforced companion. There are also
four suites, with parlOr bedroom, bath
and servants room connecting. There
are 20 additional luxurious bathrooms,
II for first cabin and six for second sa-
loon passengers.
Not alone in speed, but in a cargo
carrying capacity as well, will the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse be remark
able. 1t would be possible to stow the
ST. Paul building, which is SOC feet high
and weighs %, 100000 pounds in her hold
and still have considerable room left.
Were the ship to be placed on end she
would rise some 300 odd feet above the
most famous sky-scraper of New York
cargo of wheat the product of 10000
acres would find space under her
matches. In other words. allowing $50
bushels of wheat to a railroad car, the
ship would be able to hide away the
contents of 1880 cars, or more than six
ty trains. figuring on twenty cars to
each train.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse is di-
vided into eighteen separate water-tight
compartments. extending to the upper
deck. 1t would be possible to fill three
of these with water without sinking
the ship. She is propelled by twin
screws of % feet 3A inches diameter,
each weighing &c tons, and turned by
nickel steel shafts, a novelty made at
the Krupp works in Essen. The ship
has two pole masts only. but four fun
nels, another innovation, for mer-
chairman.

An Agreement Violated.

The Western roads are not making any
great progress in their effort to stop the
generalization in North Pacific coast
rates. The reports are all to the effect that
commissions larger than those called for in
the agreement of the association are still
being paid, and that other methods contrary
to the letter and spirit of the agreement are
being employed for the purpose of getting
the business. The Western roads are of the
opinion that the situation will not improve
for the better with any certainty until the
Union Pacific has become a member of the
Western Passenger Association. Not that
the Union Pacific is entirely to blame for
the decentralization but as long as it is not
bound by the agreement the other roads
are liable to regard whatever it does with
suspicious eyes, and actual Generalization
generally follows closely on the heels of
a suspicious feeling on the part of the gen
eral passenger agents.
