FISHING IN CHESTER COUNTY.

West Chester, March 16.-The pros
poets for sport during the trout fishing
season in this section are not of the
best owing to the fact that very few
good streams are open fer fishing
Nearly all OF those which have afford
ed sport during the past are fished out
completely Very few streams have
been stocked in this locality and those
which were will not be open this sea-
SON About Chadd's Ford some nice
fish were taken last season, and Broad
nun yielded some big ones. AT Coates
vile some smaller streams will be
open this season, but like most Of the
other streams in this section, the fish
have not attained any size. In the up
per end Of the county, in Hopewell, Mill
Creek, Rock run and the head waters
Of French creek the reports are much
more favorable. These streams are not
easy Of access, and hence are not fshed
so persistently. Then, too, the streams
themselves are of such a nature as to
discourage all but the most determined
fishermen. Some big fish were taken in
these streams last season, from Rock
run especially, where trout from to i
/ inches were caught.

CHANGE OF OFFICERS AND PLANS
FOR THE CONTEMPLATED
CRUISE.
Schoolship Saratoga, at present at
League Island awaiting an opportunity
to go on drydock, has, within the past
week, lost two Of her officers, who
have been detailed by Secretary Long
Of the navy, to duty of a more pressing
nature. Lieutenant Maxwell has been
ordered to the cruiser Columbia, and
Commander Hutchlns 10 the position Of
lighthouse inspector at Baltimore.
Captain Lawrence. the managing
trustee of the Saratoga, visited WASH
ington yesterday in reference to the
ship and her complement OF officers. 1t
was impossible for him TO obtain the
information wanted. but he was in
formed that at present the demand for
officers is very pressing, and on that
account a full complement for the Sara
! toga could not be had. Under these
conditions the cruise under contempla-
tion will have to be postponed until the
present crisis has taken more peace
full aspect.
The boys are still following their
course of studies, and no steps have
been taken as yet to change the present
course of training in the schoOlship.

The approaching election for munich
nal Officers is one which requires the
best possible Judgment in the selection
OF a fitting candidate for whom to vote.
The question OF political issue is one
which should be entirely eliminated
from all municipal elections, and the
man who can best serve the city's in

the approval OF the people. Local offi-
GERS should be chosen for their fitness,
rather than their party service.-New

have been tried before our Federal

It is amusing to read an account OF
the remarks made by some members OF
