WAR RECORD.

On Thursday no word had yet Deen
received from Dewey. Sampson was
supposed to be on his way to Porto Hi
CO. The riots continued in Spain, there
was q fight at Murcia between miners
and troops and Spain couldn't get mon
ey in London. Messengers to Gomez
were landed in eastern Cuba.
On Friday the people of San Juan in
Porto Rico were preparing to receive
the Spanish feet; the harbor was clear
ed of merchant vessels.
On Saturday Carlist deputy IN the
Spanish Congress reflected upon the
Queen and was expelled; rioting and
bloodshed continued in different parts
of the country.
All dav Sunday and Monday the Ma
ton was expecting news from Admiral
Simpsons feet, which was cruising
around the West Indies hoping to meet
the Spanish, fleet, which was reported
at Barbados and Martinique.
On Tuesday the Spanish fleet was re-
ported at Cadiz, Spain, which if true
would indicate that after sailing west
ward from the islands they turned tail
and went back The news was very
disappointing, Sampson will probably
take the port OF San Juan in Porto Rico.
Gen Miles went to Tampa; the COVER
nment chartered dozen large trans
ports; ten thousand hammock5 were or
dered as it is not safe to sleep on the
ground in Cuba during the wet season;
and everything looked like the move
ment of an army into Cuba.
In Madrid there was a commotion in
the Cortes and threatened revolution.
The riots in different parts of Spain and
the Bread riots in Italy continued.
In Manila Admiral Montejo and his
two sons were reported killed by a
Spanish mob while outside the city the
insurgents were becoming dangerous.

The massachusetts, Fisheries.

The chief of the Massachusetts Bureau
of Statistics of Labor, in his census report
on the fisheries and commerce of that
Commonwealth, shows that while the
Massachusetts, fisheries have held up
rather better than those of the other New
England State they have been declining
for some years past. The persons engaged
in the fisheries of the State have shrunk
in numbers from II, 143 in 1885 to II, 093
in 1898. The working capital has fallen
in the same period from 81, 652, 0S9 to
II, ass, so, and the value of the product
from S., 4G2, 692 to So, 703, 143. But the
Boston Journal thinks even now the in
dustry is well worth conserving, and says
of one danger that threatens it:
The revelation of the census is knock
down blow to the politicians who have
been advocating ''free fish''-that is, free
trade in the fishing products of the Brit
ish Provinces. Labor is far cheaper down
there than it is here, and besides tine
provincial fishermen receive direct sub
sidy or bounty from the Canadian Govern
ment. Under the circumstances the only
effect which free fish, could have would
be to transfer a struggling Massachusetts
industry bodily to Nova Scotia and i'm
poverish several thousand Massachusetts
families.
The Boston II eralo views the question
from a different standpoint, and favors
| free fish, American fishermen to have the
same rights in Canadian waters that the
native fishermen now enjoy. AS to the
decline in Massachusetts the Herald at
tributes it to the great falling off that has
taken place in the last eight or ten years
in the mackerel CATCH The Herald says:
The records of the fish business in Mas
SachusettS show that from the year 1920
up to and inclusive of the year 1888 there
was a tolerably large catch of mackerel !;
| that is, there were more than 100, 600 bar
rels inspected each year in this State. In
1889 the catch dropped off, and continued
at a relatively low figure until 1915, when
| the picked mackerel inspected in this State
| footed up to over 200, 600 barrels. Thence
onward, from an inspection of just 10O,
600 barrels in 1883 to an inspection of 31S,
600 barrels in 1870, up to the year 1885 the
catch fluctuated. In that year there were
reported as inspected 215, 600 barrels of
picked mackerel, but the next year the
inspection fell to 5000, and in 1889 to
| q, 900 barrels, and since that time the 10O,-
900 limit has never been reached.
| 1t is this scarcity of mackerel which,
according to the Boston fish interest, is
the occasion of the present depressed con-
dition of the fishing business, and it is
this also that accounts for the fact that
during the period of reciprocity with Can
ada, from 1854 to 1864, inclusive, the fish
business of Gloucester was in flourish
ing condition, this being materially due to
the relatively large mackerel catch that
occurred during most of those years

The Blue and the Gray.

Colonel Roosevelt's address before the
Grand Army veterans the other day was
fine piece of oratory, and contained
many sentiments worthy of being preserv-
ed. One of these was the blending of the
blue and the gray in the following para
graph:
''This was not great war when COM
pared with the gigantic contest which fol
four long years surged to and fro across
the land. Nevertheless, it was wal
which has decided much for our destiny
and which has been of incalculable bene-
fit to the country; a war because of which
every American citizen can hold his head
high, for now the nation stands as the
peer of any Of the great powers Of the
world, and we who fought in it, hope we
have proved that we are not unworthy Of
the men who so valantly wore both the
blue and the gray in the years from 1861
to 1862

FISH AND GAME. The game season in
Maine opened Oct. LIST. The law is OFT
deer in all sections of the State with ex-
ception of the few counties where it is on
for period of years These latter
counties are Kennebec, Waldo, Lincoln,
Knox, SagadaEoc, York and Cumberland.
In some of these counties the deer are
getting to be so numerous that an appeal
for the law to be taken off may be made the
coming winter This is especially true
Of Waldo County. The reports should
be good as a large number of sport
men are in the woods, and the deer
are thicker than ever in all parts of the
State.... Game Warden Walter Neal has
been moved from Bar Harbor to Bangor
by order of Commissioner Carleton, to
watch the deer business until the end Of
the season. Mr.. Neal has been in Bar
Harbor since early in the season and the
fund for the protection of the fish and
game is about 500 larger in consequence.
This amount is what has been i. tiicted as
court penalties for poaching, mostly in
the matter of game birds sent to tickle
the palates of the swell set of Bar Harbor
The record is the best ever made in the
protection of game there
