The Wheeling contingent which left
the city aboutfthe middle OF February,
on the New Orleans trip and side excur-
slons, Ia back and feeling amply repaid
for the excursion. Yesterday at noon

Mrs. ]. D. culbertson and Mrs Joseph

The former party spent considerable
time in Mexico, and Mr.. and Mrs. Ell
bingham went as far south as Havana.
DR.. j.. c, Hupp was train surgeon Of
the Gates tourists, which Included in
Its itinerary the Mardl Gras festivities
at New Orleans. and a visit 10 the City

the sights seen Dr., Hupp said that they
were so bewildering itwould be impos-
slble for him to give an idea that would
do them even faint justice. when inter-
rogated at his home on Fourteenth
street yesterday by an 1ntelllgencer re-
porter. 8
q DR.. Hupp was especially impressed
with the typographical features OF Mex
ico-the mountain peaks tipped with
snow and the perilous gascents thereto,
the broad sandy plains and long val
leys, all SO novel and picturesque to a
West Eirginian as to arouse inexpressi-
Bile admiration. Another feature was
the mode OF habitation adopted by the
poorer classes-a hole In the wall. so to
speak. These huts were built behind
a wall that formed an enclosure, the
entrance to the low huts being through
a wall and SO low, that one must stoop
ones head to enter. Within the enclo-
sure, however, flowers and trees lent "a
natural beauty to atone for the Next

course, said DR.. Hupp. lived on a grand
er scale, and he felt sure that President
Diaz's mansion, on the mountain side,

orateness and richness of decorations
and furnishings the White House.
DR.. Hupp was introduced to President
Diaz by General Powell Clayton, the
United States minister to Mexico, to
whom he had a letter OF introduction.
The Mexican people love their president,
and DR.. Hupp said President Diaz had
done much for his countrymen. His
countrymen need much more. however,

A PROTEST..
Irishnlen Take
Action.
Pc TITI0N TO CITY
Against Location of Vic
toria Fountain.

The mueh-talked-abou Victoria
fountain, which the British resid ants
of Worcester have planned to present
to the city, will be accepted only after
a most vigorous protest on the part of
the people opposed to the acceptance
of the gift, and before the matter is
finally settled, some interesting devel-
opments are likely to result.
Yesterday afternoon there was a
union meeting of representatives of the
local divisions of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians at A. O. H. Hall, and as a
result, the city council will have to
consider tonight one Of the most vigor
GUS protests ever received against the
acceptance Of a public gift The meet
ing was attended by a bout $50 repre-
sentatives of the order and the promi-
nent feature of the whole affair was
the universal feeling against the idea
Of having memorial to the queen of
England adern the most prominent
section Of the old common.
County President John j. Rogers pre-
sided and the different members gave
vent TO many harsh criticisms over the
action of the members of the city gov
eminent for at any time entertaining
the thought of locating the fountain
on public park of Worcester. A vote
was passed unanimously, that a com
mittee be appointed for the purpose of
framing a petition, which will be circu-
lated today. for the signatures Of the
presidents eff the Irish societies, and
presented at this evenings meeting Of
the city government, as a protest
against the location of the fountain
on the common or any other public
place in Worcester The committee
appointed includes County President
John J. Rogers and the presidents of
the six other divisions in the city AS
soon as this first petition is framed,
there will be other petitions framed like
it, and those VIII be placed in the hands
Of the various Irish societies in town,
for a general signing of names, to be
embodied in a monster petition which
VIII later be sent to the city govern
ment in protest against the location Of
the fountain in any public spot
At the meeting a vote of thanks was
rendered to Alderman Mellen for his
opposition to the acceptance of the
gift, in the board of aldermen.

Washington, Oct 1s-Complete re-
turns received by Commissioner Cham
berlain Of the navigation bureau of the
treasury department, show that the
doeumented American merchant Ship
ping on June 80, 1898, comprised %, 7O5
vessels Of 4.749.7SS gross tons. com
pared with %, 693 vessels of 4, 769, 020 tons
on the like date in 1897. The decrease of
1922 tons is more apparent than real,
as 11,000 tons Of this amount is due to
dropping fractions of tonnage in the
accounts and 66,71S tons were sold to
the navy and war departments to carry
troops, supplies and provisions, and
have merely changed employers
Ihe total steam tonnage amounts to
6ll2 vessels of 2371,023 tons, compared
with 6S99 vessels of 2,35S,5 5S tons for
the previous year. The vessels sold to
the government were all steam vessels,
so the true increase is greater than the
figures indicate. Sailing vessels have
decreased from 1904, 1853 tons for 1897 to
1,SS5,S27 tons for 1898. Documented canal
boats and barges amount to Sal, 9SS tons
compared with SOC, 800 tons for the pre-
vious year.
The increase is chiefly in barges
which are superseding sail vessels es-
peelaHy IN the coal trade Tonnage on
the Atlantic and gu:f coasts has drop
ped from 2647,796 tons for 1897 to e.
55S,7S9 tons for 1898. The great lakes
tonnage amounted to 1437 500 tons as
compared with 1,410, 103 tons.
Inc new Alaskan trade has increased
the Pacific coast marine from 43s. 012
tons to 496,757 tons. Western rivers
have decreased from 272, 109 tons to 261, :
1872 tons. New York state retains the
first place, with tonnage reduced from
l,3S1,743 to 1,299S25 tons; Michigan is
still second, with a reduction from
47I602 to 45S,100 tons, and Ohio stands
third, with S95,61S tons, an increase of
about 5000 tons
The greatest increase is in Washing
ton, from 1886 to 1872, 167 tons, and Alas
ka from 1924 to 1855 tons New Eng
land shows large decrease, and the
gulf states an appreciable increase.
Vessels registered for foreign trade
number 1lS6, of 7S7709 tons, compared
with 1890 Of sos, $50 tons for 1897.
These figures are the lowest since
1882. The decrease is wholly in sail yes
sells, of which 1853, Of 1903 600 tons or
about 20 per cent, have been lost to
trade during the year. Registered steam
vessels have increased 22,136 tons to
245O59 tons. Through the greater eff
cheney Of steam vessels, our fleet for the
foreign trade does not show a decrease
in carrying power.
The effect Of the war is shown in the
sale of 81 vessels, of 35,401 tons, to for
eigners, compared with sales of S24s
tons the previous year The sales were
chiefly due to high premiums on Ameri-
can vessels and eargoes, demanded by
insurance companies during the brief
period while mines and torpedoes were
being placed in our harbors. The effect
of the war is also shown In the admis-
sion by acts of congress Of q, S24 tons of
foreign vessels to American registry,
chiefly for transport purposes. During
the preceding eight years only IS, S02
tons were so admitted.

A LONG FALL.
Never Would Have Believed + If He
Had Not Seen It.


The aan with a bunch of Irvine for
whiskers was shaking his chin at the
company Of listeners. one of whom had
shortly before read from a newspaper
story Of a man falling down a wei
and sustaining no very serious injury.
Which reminds me, gents" he said,
THAT what l am about to relate to
you is q fact, clam cold fact. that I
wouldn't think of telling you if ii was
anything else. IT happened out in Une
OF the deep mines Of Colorado. whei
there was straight shaft $50 feet deep.
Some said it was SIS, but, gents, ! m
truthful man. and / know it was
20 feet one inch short of that, for
measured it myself Well, TO make Il
long story short, one day there was
man out to see the mine from New
York TO buy it, He had a pot of money.
and he looked like he carried ii around
under his vest for he was as big
through as base drum and built on
Them proportions. ] guess he weighed
300 pounds, thought it might have been
only 2sS. Anyhow, he was standing
around the mouth of the shaft, one
morning, and by some chance or other
he toppled over and down he went
was looking right at him when he top
pied, and l never want to see another
mans face look like his did then. gents,
l.
make a long story short, Se looked at
each other for a minute rs he went
down the hole, and then we broke for
the cage, which was fastened up yet
and two of us started down after hin
expecting to find him a manged mass
at the bottom. But we didn't, and as we
began TO near the bottom we heard
him yelling like coyote to mold UP
or we'd smash the life out Of aim
That scared us worse than the other
and we wanted to go back, but we
couldn't do that, so we went slow AMI
got down to him all right. Well, 10
make a long story short, by gum, d.
you know that we found that he had
gone down that hole so fast and he
filed it up so fun that he had co1.l-
pressed the air in it to such an extent
that by the time he.got pretty near TO
the bottom he wasn't moving faster
than be would have moved through
that much water, and he had really
stopped ten or fifteen feet from the bot
tom and couldn't get either way, which
was what scared him SO as we come
down on him in the cage. Very pc
culiar occurrence, gents, and if I HADN'T
seen ii with my own eyes l never
would have believed it in The world.

Confer With Manager Wilton.


Two representatives of the executive
committee of the Boston Union of the
National Alliance of Stage Employees
VISITED Worcester last evening for the
purpose Of having an interview with
Manager ALI T. Wilton concerning the
recent trouble with the stage hands of

charge of those men. The Boston men
who came up were Patrick T. Barry and
Patrick Maloney, and they had a long
interview with Manager Wilton. After
they explained the object of their visit,
Manager Wilton told under what cir
cumstances he discharged the men, and
the Boston men said that the chief OBJ
Jeet OF their visit was to see if he would
employ members of the Boston Union
which has Jurisdiction over the stage
hands in this city. Manager Wilton said
ne already had In his employ union men
who belonged to another branch of the
national alliance and who were resi-
dents Of Worcester He would not dis
charge them to make way for Boston
men so long as they worked for the in
terest of the house.
The visitors talked the situation over
fer some time and then returned to
Boston, after telling Manager Wilton
that they would give him a week to
think the matter over.
Manager Wilton has received a letter
from Manager Tom Henry of the
Columbia theatre in Boston, in which
Mr.. Henry informs him that the policy
of the Columbia has not changed and
that it win not change. The Columbia at
present employs non-union stage hands.
