THE FISH RAISED THE DEBT.
The Part a Big Salmon Took in Clear
 ing Up Church's Finances.

Three Boston men-Herbert Duma resq. Charles Hovet and l.. R. Howe
 have just returned from a very enjoy
 able salmon fishing trip to the cele
 brated Dawson pool, in New Bruns wick MT. Dumaresq was leader of the party as to size of fish taken, he land
 ing a salmon of thirty-six pounds
 weight. This fish was a noble fellow and it appears was a fish of good qual
 ities-possibly of a religious turn oi
 mind It happened this wise:
 The weather was hot and the fishing
 rather poor. On that part of the river is little church, in which old mar IDawson( from whom the pool takes its name) and his wife are much interest ed. On the day in question MT. Duma- resq registered a VOW that if he took a salmon of twenty-nine pounds in weight he would lift debt of S100 that had been hanging for some time like
 an incubus over the little meeting house. MT. Dumaresq went fishing in the morning, not thinking it possible that he would have much luck; but soon he had a great strike, and, after most exciting fight, the fish was
 brought to the net and was found tc weigh thirty-six pounds.
 There is not the slightest doubt in the minds of all the anglers conversani with the facts that the salmon had
 Mother Dawson's church in mind when
 he seized MT. Dumaresqs fly. That gentleman promptly raised the church
 debt and received the gratitude Of Mother Dawson, who is firm in the be lief that the Lord sent the f1sh.-Bos- ton Herald.

AS matters stand after Admiral Dew
ey's victory there Is no Spanish naval
force left in eastern waters to seize
such a ship so that it would be easy
to compensate the coal merchants for
the small risk incurred by shipping coal
to the American feet at the Philip
pines It is said at the navy depart
ment that plenty of superior coal can
be secured in this manner from the As
iatic ports at an average price of so
per ton Although without confirma-
tion from any official source, the naval
officials are disposed to attach some
credit to the statement coming from
Paris that at the last accounts from
Manila, the American fleet was firing
upon Corregidor island This island lies
in the outer entrance to the harbor of
Manila and is about 25 miles below the
city. 1t is crowned by a light house
and has several modern guns in place.
While not a serious menace to the
American fleet, SO long as the latter lies
far above in the vicinity of the city,
the existence of the fort at a place
commanding his line of communication
could not be long tolerated by the COM
modore, for it would endanger any un-
armored ship seeking to reach the feet
and in a measure would prevent sup
plies from coming in.

them at once to the relief of Commo-
dore Dewey's squadron
AS China and Japan delayed making
declarations of neutrality. some experts
in international law hold that the
United States may still obtain coal in
eastern ports. Commodore Dewey's
achievements however, have caused the
administration to feel that the govern
ment should not hesitate to send him
supplies at once, without waiting to
speculate on what eastern ports may
be opened to him
Naval bureau chiefs, who have charge
of equippiug the fleets with ammunition
and coal, say that Commodore Dewey's

tent and that he has ample supplies of
further operations as may be neceS-
