DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES.
A. c. Little, State Fish Commissioner,
A. ID. Boardman, Deputy Com
missioner

The headquarters of the Department of
Fisheries is at Tacoma.
Tho law relating to the conduct of the
fishing industry of the state was some
what radically changed by the Fusion
Legislature in 1897. The license for set
nets was reduced, and that for pound nets
and wheels was graded. so as to range
from Sl5 TO SIS. The new law taxed all ap-
planes for fishing and propagation so
that as q whole the revenue from the
fishing interest of the state was greatly
increased.
Under the new administration the long
standing troubles between the gill net
fisherman and the trap men have been
removed. and there is now a much bet
ter feeling between these rival factions.
Under Republican management there was
constant war on the Columbia during
the fishing season, but since the new law
has been put in operation. and the Fish
Commissioner has brought his explana-
tons and reasoning powers to bear among
the fishermen a better feeling has re-
suited.
Commissioner Little has had but little
trouble in keeping the pound fishermen
and the gill net men on their respective
grounds. so that interference with each
other has been reduced to a minimum,
and In most cases done away with alto
gether.
The amount received in license fees
under the Republican administration of
1896 was as follows:

This shows an increase OF revenue from
the fisheries under the first year OF Fu-
sion administration OF s9757.50 This has
been accomplished without additional cost
to the state.
Statistics are at hand showing the
value of the fishing industry of the State
OF Washington in 1896 and 1897 as follows:

THINK VERY KINDLY OF US.
NO I'LL. WILL WAS DISPLAYED.

cious, But Know better Now.

BERLIN, August 16.-Mr. Andrew ID.
White the United states Ambassador.
before starting at noon to-day for Ham
burg, where he viii take the waters
made the following statement to the
correspondent of the Associated Press:
80 far.as | can see, the state of things
between Germany and the United States
remains satisfactory. Throughout the
war the German Government has treat
ed us fairly; and. so far from seeing any
cause for complaint on our part, 1t seems
to me that the fairness Of the German
Governments attitude requires recogni-
ton.
NO ILL-WILL DISPLAYED.
with regard to their sending forces
to the Philippines, that matter has al
ready been fully cleared up. There was
nothing whatever in it to show il-wlll
toward the United States. nor was there
any purpose TO interfere with our naval
operations.
"With regard 10 Germany's reaching
after Colonies or centres of influence IN
the far East, / have never hesitated 10
avOw myself heartily in favor OF such
undertakings. | regard every establish
ment of such spheres OF influence by
great ciyiliZlng Powers, If they feel they
can administer them without injury TO
their people. as benefit to the world at
large.
"Everv part OF the barbaric world
brought into touch with civilization by
an enlightened Power like Germany Is a
clear gain, not only 10 Germany, but to
the United States and to all other civil
liZed Powers.
THOUGHT US AVARICIOUS.

[ believe that the conduct Of the war

OF respect for the United states.
"a large proportion of the Germans
had come to regard the scum thrown up

American activities as the entire contents
of the caldrOn. They had taken TOO Sc

life made by sensational correspondents

natriotism was dead; that the men con-
trailing our public affairs were wretched-

qualities had yielded to the passion for

RESULTS OF THE WAR.
Rev. DIR. Kerr's Eloquent summin z
Up in an Albany Sermon.


Rev. Robert p. Kerr, OF this city, sup
piled the pulpit of the State-Street Pres
byterian church, of Albany n. Y, last
Sunday. The following is an extract from
his Sunday morning sermon, which was
published in the Albany Argus:
Seldom has any nation had more
cause for gratitude to God for his good
ness than have the American people to-
day A great war Is ended. and peace
has again unfurled her snowy banner over
our country from sea to sea. 1t is likely
that in its results this will prove to be
one Of the most benefcient Of all wars.
The nation has been made to see the
hand OF God stretched forth in its be-
half and the conflict of third of one
year, productive of momentous results
is accomplished without a single reverse
10 our arms, with the loss OF compare
lively few lives, and with the placing Of
America in a position which must be ac-
knowledged as second to that of no re-
public, kingdom, or empire on earth.
I'VE see oppressed peoples set free
tyranny crushed, and vast populations
brought under the direct influence and
control of the Gospel, and the highest
civilization.
zone Of the happiest results Of the
Spanish war now closed Is that for the
first time in her history the republic Is
united in all it's parts. Hereafter there
should be, as now, no North, South, East
or West, but one America for Americans
and for the world.
I'm His providence God has, without
our intention, carried our flag 10 the
ends of the earth and confronted us with
vast responsibilities and opportunities.
May this favored people prove true TO
their destiny; and If they hold to the
truth OF God, the day is not far distant
when we and our British brothers will
maintain the peace and justice Of the
globe.
""There is as has recently been said,
no Europe, but there is an America
Europe failed TO unite and stop the Ar
menian massacres. America, happily one
nation, has stopped oppression without
consulting any of the Powers. 1t seems
as If the time has come when England
and America can command oppression
| TO cease wherever 1t be found; and II
| may not be many decades before oui
nation. now born a second time to great
ness, will be able to act alone, on any
question, m any cline. The one thing
we need 70 give us the grandest history
vet to be written is TO stand fast by the
| Gospel and to acknowledge God in al
| our ways"
