LACKED EIGHT VOTES.
rcontinued From First PaSe.l


Of Delaware. entitled, An Act for the
protection CT fish In Indian river. Re
hototh bay and tributaries thereof. %
being House bin No. 20. has been con-
sidered by me- and / now return it to
the House with the following objec-
tions:
The act which said bill proposes to
repeal makes Il unlawful for any per-
sons to catch or take any fish in the
waters OF Indian river, RehobOth bay
or any tributaries thereof by means OF
any drag seine Of less size bar than
one and one-eighth inches. This pro
vision in my Judgment affords a wise
protection against the desllaiclion Of
small and partly grown fish Fish are
annually placed in these waters by the
Federal Government for the purpose Of
stocking them with wholesome and
profitable food fish. and the destruc-
tiCn Of these young fish so supplied
has the appearance Of folly and inn
providence. IL fishermen were per-
mitted to use a seine without any re-
striction as to the size Of bar or mesh.
fish Of an sizes would be caught and
NANH' thtt hAN hAiAt lbl l0bA NuIIiJntS
would be allowed to die
It Is difficult for any person who is
acquainted with this subject to under
stand the motive that could lead to
such short-sighted legislation, giving.
possibly, to a few an immediate ad-
vantage, bait destroying in the near fu-
tnre the means Of livelihood of those
who follow the business of fishing and
depriying other citizens Of the state
Of the right to have these food fish
protected.
IL has come to my attention that the
object sought in the proposed iegisla-
tlon is permission TO fishermen to use
seines Of such mesh or bar as will hold
cells, which are found in said waters.
This would be legislation for the
doubtful benefit of few and destruct-
i've Of the rights and interest of all,
including eventually the few.
Such legislation cannot be justified
by any line OF reasoning, is unwise
and ] must withhold from the said bin
my approval. 1 herewith return It to
the house where It originated.

THE DEWEY MONUMENT FUND.

u the meeting of the Dewey monument com
| .mittee last Friday, the subcommittee en-
gagged in collecting contributions for the fund
made formal reports, some OF the members
were out OF town. and Others had reasons for desiring
delay. 1t was announced, however, that the sub
scriptons now amount to more than $4,000, and
other large amounts are assured
The movement is one which appeals to the people
OF the whole State. 1t has been received with cordial
approval everywhere, The people recognize it is
right and fitting that this generation should manifest
in some permanent and impressive form their admira-
ton OF the great victory Of Manila Bay their appre-
citation of its Importance and their gratitude to the
patriot seaman under whose command it was accom-
plished
Rarely has any movement of similar nature been
undertaken with better auguries OF success 1t is but
d short time since it first proposed and yet nearly
one-third OF the entire required has been al
ready contributed That contribution has been made
moreover, without solicitation. 1t has been the spon-
taneOus offering OF men whose ardent sympathy with
the patriotic enterprise prompted them to act at once
Nor does it represent the whole amount that will be
so given. When the reports OF the subcommittee
are submitted next Friday the total amount of the
subscriptions will undoubtedly be gratifying to every
citizen who has loyal interest in the enterprise
In addition to serving as a demonstration OF the
public appreciation OF the services OF Admiral Dewey,
the construction. OF monumental structure OF the
magnitude proposed will give San Francisco stimu-
us toward purely artistic work The adornment OF
the city by noble structure will increase its at
ractiveness and strengthen the artistic as well as the
patriotic aspirations OF the people The enterprise
therefore, is which appeals to civic and to State
pride we'll to national loyalty, and we'll merits
the generous and cordial support which has been thus
far so literally accorded it.

ships OF the nations will OF not cont1nue
through the season. but the Oregonian goes on to
/ point out, considering that the German flag was
almost curiosity in this port few years ago, the
showing is a remarkable one. Germany is not only
crowdng her shipyards right up to their limits IN
producing steam tonnage, but she is buying all sail
ing vessels offered and sending them into fields OF
trade that Tor ages have been regarded as the special
preserves of the British ship-owner
1t is notable that the contrast established by our
Portland contemporary is between Germany and
Great Britain Portland is American city, and the
grain be transported across the is an Ameri-
can product. and yet the amount OF American ship
ping engaged in carrying the ocean trade Is so sght
it is not considered at all. 1t does not come in
for mention.
Such condition OF affairs is by means credit
able to our Government That American enterprise
and energy are superior to those of any other peo
PIE is we'll known. That truth has been attested in
hundred ways. At the present time are supplying
machinery for nearly every country in Europe, and
for the British themselves in their work OF develop
ing Africa. Yet we lag behind all nations in ocean
ship-buiding in proportion to commerce.
The cause of the difference between our accom-
plishments in manufacturing industry and in ship
ping is too plain to escape the observation OF even
the most casual student OF the subject We have
given to our industries on land ample protection and
as consequence they have become the most pros
porous and among the most extensive in the world.
We have neglected. on the other hand, to give any
kind of protection to our merchant marine engaged
il foreign trade. Thus, while surpass rivalry IN
the one industry, we are hardly in the race in the
other.
The Germans have shown us what can be accom-
plished for hipbuildng by proper legislation, With
out anything like our resources advantages, they
have built up merchant fleets that this side
of the globe competing with the British. Should
the United States adopt the German plan and policy
with respect to shipping it would not be long before
the fleets of this coast would show the American to
be the rising flag in the trade OF the ocean.

TIMOTHY GUY PHELPS.

u the death of Timothy Guy Phelps California
loses one OF the most useful andpublic spirited OF
- its citizens and the Republican party one of the
eminent and honored OF its leaders. The loss to
both the State and to the party is great and the death
will be mourned by thousands outside the immediate
circle OF his relatives and friends.
Mr.. Phelps was one of the strong, earnest men who
joined the Republican party in its early days and
helped win its first victories the slave power
His force of character made his influence widely
felt. and his personal popularity won for him fol
lowing that gave him prestige in party councils His
service to the nation however, was not confined to
party work merely. AS member of Congress and as
Collector of this port he demonstrated high capacity
fer both legislative and executive tasks and per-
formed with exemplary zeal and fidelity every duty
which official responsibility required OF him
The salient characteristics which marked the found
ers of the Republican party and which were so nobly
and herocaly illustrated in such men Lincoln and
Seward and others OF that period, notable in Mr.
Phelps. His partisanship was the outgrowth Of
principle. Politics to him means OF promoting
the national welfare and struggle for the spos
Of office The sterling honesty and integrity of the
man were never doubted even by his political op-
ponents. His influence for good was everywhere
recognized where his fame known, and from
all parts OF the State cordial tributes OF loving praise
