AFTER POACHERS.

John Beutner, who succeeds S. s. Full
1erton as executive agent of the state
game and fish commission, was inter-
viewed as to his intention with regard to
the protection Of the spawning fish in
the lakes of this and adjacent counties
during the month Of April. It is during
April that the gill net is used so effec-
lively by poachers at Minnetonka and in
the smaller lakes of that region The
spawning fish being up along shore. net
is set almost blocking the entrance to
little bay or inlet, after which the boat
men row in behind the net and drive the
fish into it. This sort of poaching has
been carried on every spring and if ever
efforts have been made by the wardens
to stop it the same have been curiously
ineffective. Spring spearing up in the
shadows is also extensively carried on,
and while it is not so deadly a form of
poaching as the other, it is still a prac-
tice that ought to be stopped.
Mr.. Beutner said that a new fish war;
den was about to be appointed to look
after the interests of the north Shore and
While the name of the appointee had not
been officially given out he felt satisfied
that the man selected would give a good
account of himself in the territory under
his jurisdiction.

DENMARK.

OIL the DanlSn East Africa Steamship
company, is about to go to China in
the company's interests. It is also said
that he has a government mission to
seek some convenient harbor in China,
as Denmark intends to follow in the
footsteps of the other powers.
Mr.. Bardenfeth has succeeded in
making himself thoroughly unpopu-
lar, not to say hated, parsonage among
his countrymen. His means to this
end was his ratification of the maxi
mum rates of the Copenhagen tele-
phone company for the next 20 years.
In the first place, the business inter-
ests are up in arms against him. But
this is not all. The matter was taken
up by the popular branch folkething)
of the rigsdag, and the following reso-
luton was passed: 1.-THE folkething de-
clares that the minister for internal af-
fairs, by fixing the maximum rates of
the Copenhagen telephone company,
has acted contrary to the conditions
expressly set forth by the government,
as we'll as by the rigsdag, during the
discussion of the telephone law, and
has ignored the interests of the public
using the telephones, especially of
those engaged in industrial pursuits"
Only one vote was recorded against
this resolution, and that one was cast
by the member from the Farce islands.
The conservatives have scored Barden-
f1eth without mercy, and a liberal daily
thinks he ought to remove to the Farce
islands, the only place where he seems
to- be properly appreciated.
It is dangerous even for prominent
German to speak in favor of fair play
against Denmark. Prof. Delbruck, of
the University of Berlin, criticised the
government for practicing policy of
Wholesale expulsions from Slesvig, and
now the disciplinary court has SEN
fenced the professor to reprimand
and fine of $125 for his expressions.
Petitions have been presented to the.
rigsdag both for and against a law to
close all stores on Sunday. ~ r. zs]se
H The striking iron workers and
butchers have commenced to return to
work, and the contending parties are
in mood to settle all differences. ~

TIIMRER

]. J. Hill, having broken the record for
large elevators by his 5000, 00O-bushel ele-
vator project at Duluth, will now proceed
to break his own record by the erection
of another gigantic steel elevator at Du-
luth. with capacity of 100000 bushels.
This is known to be Mr.. Hills plan, and
he has said that he will carry it out soon,
although no date has been set.
Mr.. Hill is quoted as saying that the
enormous growth of the grain business
more than warrants this move, and that
the elevator capacity at the head of the
lakes is entirely inadequate.

The Kronmann Murder.

New York, Aug. 17.-Wiliam Neu-
feldt age d 25, who claims to be a cousin
of Mrs. Annie Kronmann, he woman
who was murdered on August Z, was
taken into custody last night, charged
with the murder. Neufeldt was caught
while disposiDg OF some OF the diamond
jewelry stolen from the Kronmann fiat.
The accused is an ex-convict. He was
arrested in Chicago in 1892 for rob
berry in the Marquette Club and sent to
Joliet for eight years. He has been out
of prison but short time. Neufeldt
tells lame story. He says a negro
named Luce, whom he knew n Chica-
go, met him recently and gave him the
jewlry to dispose of.
Neufeldt was positively identified to-
day at police headquarters by Mrs.
Mary Innes, az the man in black who
called on Mrs. Kronmann on the day
she was murdered. Neufeldt broke
down and practically confessed his guilt
by crying: sits all up with me-"

YELLOW FEVER

The last of the yellow fever patients
at the Soldiers Home, at Hampton,
Va , has been put on the convalescent
list, and in few days all of the patieo;a
will be discharged as cured. The bar
racks have been fumigsted. The storm
yesterday blew down most of the tents
on the grounds, in which the old SOL
diers live temporarily. The quarantine
against Phoebus has been raised and
the Soldiers Home is now the only
place which is cut of from communi.
cation with the outside world. When
the first train arrived in Pnoebus the
inhabitants cheered it until it passed
out of the town.
The yellow fever" Gordon has now
been reduced until it only surrounds
the Soldiers Home, the institution iD
which the infection made its appear
auce.
The work of fumigating the barracks
il about completed and the veterans
will soon drop back into the monoto
nous humdrum Of their daily routine.
The Hygeia Hotel at Old Point open
ed yesterday and is entertaining large
number of guests. It's said the Cham
berlain will not open up until the LIST of
October.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Richmond Dispatch says: So many
letters have been received here from
inmates of the Soldiers Home, at
Hampton, both by individuals and the
newspapers, denying the existence OF
yellow fever there. that Surgeon Gene
raj Wyman felt called upon to "give
out" an interview, asserting that there
is "no doubt it is yellow fever" De-
spite this, and the reports of the doc
tors who have diagnosed the mslady as
yellow fever there are many experience.
ed physicians and others here who are
now more firmly convinced than ever
that the whole thing was a gigantic
scare, destitute of any positive evidence
that the dread scourge had ever been
introduced or gained foothold within
the quarantined district. The general
consensus of opinion among medical
men of repute outside of the so-called
infected region seems to be that the mi
tial diagnosis was a mistake.

charges at Cramps and the threatened
dismissal OF 500 men from the Neafe

the yards is known to be literally true
end the storage yards at Cramps

condition exists at Neafe and

yard on the river. This inability to get the
material is asst gned for the laying off of so
many men and there are rumors that fully
GOO men will be suspended before Friday.
Despite all the denals of any strike from
members OF the Cramps company many OF the
men assert that the dismissal Of the men al
this time is move 10 head OF demand for

THURSDAY EVENING, AUG. II, 1893
TIE ASSUMPTIONS of the Northern

THE ASSUMPTIONS OF the Northern
iingoes and expansionists have reached
the highest conceivable degree. Though
utterly ignorant of the true condition
of the affairs of the people of the coun-
try's new provinces, they, with monu'
mental assurance, assert that they
know what is better for those provinces
than the people thereof do. 10 speak
inc of the latter, one OF their organs
saws: "Indeed, nothing seems to US
more certain than that eventually these
people will come to enjoy larger
measure Of personal liberty under our
rule than they could attain under that
of any other government" -even their
own. The Northern republicans thought
thew knew better what was good for
the South than the people of this Sec
ton did, when they invaded their ter
ritory and made war on them; but
though they now realize the great mis-
take they made, they have adopted the
came policy toward the Hawaiians,
Porto Ricans, Cubans and Filipinos.
For the welfare of this country, it is
hoped they may be right, but few intel
lipent men believe they are.

IT Is now reported that Governor
Tyler "may abandon the stump" Fox
his own sake and that of his State it is
hoped the report may prove correct.
The Governors best friends cannot but
copcede that the spectacle of the Gov
error of Virgipia, upon the stump, ad-
vocating his own election to another
public office, is not the most attractive
one that could be presented to the peo-
pie of his State. II any Virginiaus de-
sire to give him another Office before he
shall have completed the duties of the
on he now fills, they should so vote, by
all means, but it would be better taste
for other people, and not for him, to ask
them to do so.
