1t is understood that not only S. F.
Fullerton, the executive agent of the
Game and Fish Commission, but prac-
tically all those in the employ of the
department are to be superseded by
Lind's followers, Under Republican
administration it was not politics but
efficiency that was considered in filing
the various places. Mr.. Watkins, who
for so many years was superintendent
of the fish hatchery, was life long
Democrat. After his death the com
mission secured the services of Mr. Nor
gan, who had the recommendation of
some of the highest authorities on fish
Matching in this country. While nobody
knows how Mr.. Morgan votes, he has
filled his position most successfully and
Matched more fish than any one had
hoped he could do with the facilities at
hand. A Fusionist is slated for Mr..
Morgan's place and the fish hatchery
will suffer and irreparable loss, The
reform" forces may be acting wisely
from a political standpoint, but we will
leave it to the people to say whether
this method of procedure is best for the
state.

Valetta, Malta, Feb. 81

Il got ashore at 400 p. m. after
working all day at boat duty and coal
ing ship This, is the most historical
place I ever saw, Everything looks
about 500 years old and so is very pic
turesque; especially with so many ''red
coats around, wearing their little caps
cooked over one ear. We got in
about 700 a. m. and at 900 a. m. /
went ashore to invite the American
consul aboard.
There are about dozen British
men of war in the harbor. We are the
first American ship to arrive this year.
Two British captains came aboard to
pay their respects. They look much
younger than our captain, who is only
a commander / saw senior lieuten
ant who couldn't have been over thirty.
l have hard time to understand Eng
lish money. Our money is below par
at present.
At Sea. Feb. %.
Eve anchored at the larger of the
two harbors at Valetta The entrance
is very narrow-not over quarter of a
mile. The walls of the city extend
down to the waters edge. and the
buildings on the hills with the towers
and old houses make fine sight. Be
fore we dropped anchor, the ship was
surrounded by small boats looking for
jobs to sell fruit, etc.
1.-THE coal lighters were soon along
side, five on a side, and the Maltese
coal beavers soon got the coal started
aboard, The way they coal is to shovel
the coal into baskets holding about a
bushel, and man has this basket
placed on his shoulder by two other
men He then carries the basket to the
coal chute, where he dumps it. A con
slant stream of coal is by this means
kept up in half dozen different parts
of the ship. The first hour we were
coaling we took on over 300 tons. In
all, we took aboard about $40 tons.

Wednesday.

''The bad weather has just let up,
and once again there is little comfort,
but not mnch, as we are still rolling
and pitching good deal. Last night
we hove to as the sea got so rough it
strained the ship to remain on our
course The seas kept breaking over
the ship, some of them going clear over
the deck house, while the spray went
over the bridge, which is about thirty
FIVE feet above the water Everyone
was vaccinated yesterday.

Lieut. Gov. Smith has had no legisla-
tive experience in the past bnt he pre-
sides over the deliberations of the Sen
ate with as much dignity and tact as if
he were veteran. He possesses a cool
head, which is particularly fortunate
for presiding officer; his rulings are
fair and we'll advised and his knowledge
of parliamentary practice shows that he
has made the subject a thorough study.
Mr. Smith has enjoyed the good will of
every member of the Senate, reg ardless
of party, and as result there has been
no apparent friction.

TRIP TO MANILA.
Ensign Lewis Writes an Inter
esting Letter Home.
Rough Passage Across the Atlantic, a
Visit to Malta, and Other
Incidents.

Ensign John E. Lewis has written his
family a very interesting letter from
the Mediterranean sea. He is on board
the hospital ship Solace, and when he
arrives to Manila will be transferred
to one of the war ships This has been
the fifth time that he has crossed the
Atlantic, and the trip was rough one.
The first part of the letter was writ
ten on the Atlantic and is dated Sun
day, Feb 10. Mr.. Lewis says in this:
eve got up anchor last Monday eve
ming and left Hampton Roads in cold
fog. After the first day out the wea-
ther got warmer and since then has
been just right, about 90 degrees day
and night We are evidently in the
track of storm, as the sea is very
rough. Every few minutes big wave
will sweep down the gangways and so
it is rather dangerous to be walking on
the main deck, as the chances are good
for an involuntary shower and plunge
combined. The waves are the largest 1
have seen. They are regular young
mountains, and it is a fine sight to
stand way aft and see the waves come
chasing the ship and burying the stern.
We are averaging about 315 miles a
day.
Last Friday, had turned in at four
o'clock in the morning after having the
mid watch and had just gotten asleep
when big wave dashed up in the gang
way, and a stream about foot in di-
ameter came in the open port and the
wooden door Of the state room was
forced open It was a rude awaken
ing but thorough one. The water
struck my bunk fair and nearly washed
ME out.
If this rolling continues, we will
have no glass ware left. 1t is hard
work to hang on to three or four dishes,
keeping them level, and at the same
time trying to eat.
I'VE have sighted only one vessel
that l know of. 1t was bark hove to
on account of the heavy weather. We
passed part of the hull of vessel float
ing keel up, 1t looked like apiece of
vessel cut in two by some big steamer.

TO CATHOLICS IN AMERICA.

The Os3ervatore Romano publishes
a letter from the Pope to Cardinal Glib
bons saying that ''if the term Ameri-
cansm signifies qualities peculiar to
Americans and usages adapted to their
customs, then we have nothing to say
against i; but it denotes the opinion
expressed in The Life of Father Heck
err We IRE convinced that the Amer
ican hisnops will be the first to TT ject
them"
The Pope's letter especially reproves
opinions concerning relaxation of disci-
pline and non-observance of doctrinal
points as pretext for attracting dis
-enters 10 Catholicism, the direction Of
souls by inspiration OF the Holy Ghost
independent OF prieslly control, the di-
version of virtue into active or passive
criticisms of the old religious orders
and concerning unusual methods OF
preaching Catholicism to dissenters.
The letter, which occupies five col
umns in the Osservatore Romano, be-
gins by lsudiug Cardinal Gibbons and
tue American Catholics. Abiding to
the many proofs of good will he has
given them in the past, the Pope wishes
them TO see in the present document
another proof of his affection for Amer
ica.
While he makes it clear that the lei
ter is one OF warning and correction
with reference 90 the life OF Father
Hecker," the Pope carefully distin-
cuisines between the dOcirinnl aspects
OF the new theories and questions OF
practical discipline, ana strongly urges
the impossibiity o. any change in the
former. While admitting that the
church has always recognized ard acted
upon the necessity of adapting certain
points OF discipline to modern require
mentr, it rests with the church. me
Pope points out, and not with individ-
uals, TO determine how and when such
adaptations can be made.
'All virtues" says the Pope, must
neces ssriy be active. The contempt
shown by innovaters for what they are
pleased 10 called passive virtues has
naturally led to a contempt OF religious
life as suited only to the weak aud as
an impeachment to Christian perfection
