QUEER FISH DECISION
Sturgeon Caught in the Great Lakes
Must Pay Duty

From the Philadelphia Record.
decision that has attracted unusual
attention has recently been rendered by
the general appraisers of the treasury de-
partment. This question arose over the
durability of sturgeon caught in the great
lakes. The fish that brought out the de-
cision were entered at the port of Platts-
burg. packed in ice and taken from the
tributaries of the Georgian Bay, which
opens into Lake Huron. Under the law,
salt water fish of this class would be adj
mitted free of duty, but the board, in what
they attempted to make quite a scientific
opinion, decides that the sturgeon referred
to cannot be the same as the sturgeon OF
the lower St. Lawrence, the Mississippi
river, and of the ocean, for the reason they
could not have climbed up the Falls of Nj
agara. 1t was, therefore, ordered that the
fish be made to pay duty when brought in
to the United States This decision was
rendered under the law that provides
',fresh-water fish not specifically provided
for in this act, one-fouCth of ono cent per
pound
One who is well versed in the history of
the lake region points out that that por-
ton of the decision which DEGREES that the
sturgeon in the lakes above Niagara Falls
cannot be the same sturgeon below these
falls is entirely wrong, for all the sturgeon
In the upper laKeS-Erle, f1urOn MlcHlBdu
and Superior-are the same species of fish
as the sturgeon of Lake Ontario and the st
Lawrence river, the authority for this
statement and position being that De Witt
Clinton, afterward governor of the state OF
New York, spent Sunday, August 8, 1910, at
Laudons tavern, Buffalo. He,' with 9TH
ers, was on tour of inspection, by direc-
ton of the legislature of New York state,
to explore the country between the lakes
and the navigable waters OF the Hudson
AT that time Clonton wrote: Lake Erie
abcunds with excellent and various fish,
and in enumerating them he says: "Stur-
geon is the largest fish in the lake. They
have no dorsal fin and not so large
as those in the Hudson. In respect to shape
they are similar and have the same habit
of vaulting. Ait the time the French pos
sessed Niagara the commander of that fort
took four Give sturgeon from Ontario lake
and put them in Lake Erie. Lake Erie
before had none; now 1t and all the upper
lakes have plenty of them. This was told
Mr.. Wigaton by the captain of the sloop
that sails on Lake Erie"
AS the French lost Fort Niagara in the
year 1853, DIT was prior to that year that the
sturgeon were transplanted from Lake On
tario to Lake Erie. AT the time Clinton
wrote he was a man of prominence, noted
for gathering facts most carefully. 1t is
indeed good argument that the people of
100 years ago could stock pond or lake
with live fish just as we'll as by the i'm
proved methods of the national or state
fish commission.

All the Russian cars have confirmed It, as
grand dukes of Finland, in their corona
ton oaths, and when the present czar was
crowned a few years ago he solemnly re-
peated this oath. In spite of this, however,
he has failed to keep his promise. Suddenly
as thunderbolt from clear sky came the
decree depriving them of all their privileges
and Calling for the complete Russianiza-
tion of Finland
As soon as the new edict was received
the imperial senate of Finland addressed
a respectful remonstrance to the car, and
forwarded it to him by a deputation of
prominent citizens The car, however, de-
clined to receive the deputies, and when
the senate's address was read to him ne
wrote on the back of 1t: "Does not deserve
any intervention
Public meetings were then held through
out Finland, and within a week nearly
0000 signatures of adult Finnish citizens
both men and women, were obtained to an
appeal, which was taken to ST. Petersburg
by a deputation of 500 men. Again, how
ever, the car declined to receive them
and at this second refusal the spokesman
of the party, Consul Wolff, did not hesitate
to speak very plainly to the minister sec
rotary of state, who had informed them of
the emperor's decision.
I'VE beseech you," he said, 'tto assure
his majesty that We shall never take refuge
in unlawful means. 1t is for this reason
that it is so wounding for dutiful people

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES
Mr.. Brewers Experience at a Meeting
During the Campaign

From the Washington Star.
Some of the supreme court justices have
an inexhaustible fund of humor, and they
frequently intersperse funny anecdotes
with their solemn delibera tons, once they
are inside the sacred domain of their pri-
waite session chambers. Justice Brewer Is
one of the most inimitable story-tellers
among them, and he told one the other day
that amused his colleagues immensely. Out
in Indiana, he said, there was a justice of
the peace who owned farm. One line of
his fence formed the boundary of the states
of Indiana and Ohio. Like others in rural
districts who hold that office he had an
abnormal appreciation of the responsible
ty of the office and never lost opportu-
nifty to exercise his prerogatve of demand
ing that the peace be preserved. One day
his son and his hired man got to fighting
on stretch of farm near the boundary
line fence, and the justice of the peace
rushed out and mounted the fence. Then,
with head cooked high and the air of one
who has but TO command, he shouted: In
the name of the state of Indiana, I demand
the preservation of the peace! Just then
the fence gave way under his weight, and
as he went down with the fence topping
over to the Ohio side, he shouted to his son,
..Giye him the mischief, Jim; I've lost my
jurisdlction! 1T, :, 81

while he was studying law in New York
city he evinced some interest in the mu-
picipal campaign then on and was invited
to make a speech on certain occasion. He
accepted, and carefully terrifying himself
with Information on the subject and other
wise preparing for his part of the pro-
gramme, he appeared on the platform in
ample time. When he got up he made an
eloquent depletion of the virtues of his
party; he made deep draughts on sirndle
and metaphor: his sentences were ex-
quisitely rounded, and 1t was mastery
example OF a class-day grafton. The au-
dience sat unmoved, an occasional nod
alone greeting what he safds The next
speaker was an unkempt Individual, care
less of grammar, who committed a Whole

OUT OF SEASON
Fish Story in Advance of Regulation
Time

From the Atlanta Journal
Trion factory, with its immense power
driving 10000 spindes, was stopped by a
school of eels
The cells came down the creek In large
numbers after heavy November rains and
went through the flume into the wheel pit
The unusual obstruction caused the spud
of the mill to sacken and the machinery
was stopped. An examination was made
and about 200 pounds Of eels were found
in the pit
citizen of Trion wrote the following
letter about the incident to the editor of
Textile Excelsior, a cotton mill journal
published at Charlotte, N. c.:
Trion Factory, Ga.
Editor Textile Excelsior:
For the past three years we have had
considerable experience with cells at this
mill. They came down stream after the
first rain in November. So numerous thew
are that they choke down the water wheel
This fact has been reported before in the
Textile Excelsior, and 1t seems there was
considerable doubt about its being true
Again say that on November 81 there
came a rain which made the river very
muddy Along towards night the speed be-
gan to go down. Everybody cried out "eels
again! To be sure that 1t was cells and
no small number, we stopped the mill and
opened UP the wheels. Sure enough, there
they were, the wheel pit full of them. Two
hundred pounds were taken out and many
dropped through the wheels.
After the boys had taken out all that
were still alive, We thought of the doubts
that might arise when this fact became
known. We concluded, therefore, to have A
photograph made. 1t represents what was
left after all the town had been supplied
with the cells. This photograph Is view
of what takes place here every year in the
way of catching cells. These weigh from
one to six pounds, and the majority are of
the larger tribe. The water wheels had to
stand all day and the next on account of so
many cells getting into them, and for fear
some of the gearing connected with the
gate would be broken.

IN SEARCH OF
THEIR LIBERTY
Ten Thousand Citizens of Finland
Come to America to Escape the
Oppression of Russia.

Finland is about to lose many thousands
of her Inhabitants. Weary of Russian OPP
preston, they are preparing to turn their
backs upon the country of their birth and
find homes in the new world that has shell
tered the downtrodden and the oppressed
ever since that bleak November day when
the Pilgrim Fathers first trod the shores
of Massachusetts Bay. Already arrange
ments have been made for 10000 of these
people to leave Finland, and this number
will settle in Canada during the coming
year. At the same time thousands of 9TH
will sail for the United States and will
settle in the west, where land is already
being set aside for them. Used to freedom,
for which they fought through centuries,
they are unwilling to live In subjection as
serfs of the Russian car.
The first of the F'lnlanders to come to
this country will start within few weeks,
and it has been arranged that this party
shall go to Canada. The Finland commits
Satoners who came to America to look over
the ground a few months ago finally sue
ceeded in making arrangements for suita-
BILE concessions with the Canadian govern
ment, more than 100000 acres of choice ag-
ricultural lands having been set apart for
their use.
This land, which is located near Alberta,

near the farming regions west of Red Deer,
is splendidly wooded and watered, and IS
nearly all high, rolling prairie. suitable for
wheat raising, dairying and mixed farm
ing. While the commissioners, Messrs.
Wincklemann, Zilhacus and Bargotrom,
received warm welcome from the United
States authorities and finally accepted sew
eral tenders of land, no proposition that
they received was as favorable to the colo
nists as the offer that was made by the
Canadian government AS the result the
large colony will be planted in Canada. At
the same time about a dozen colonies will
spring up in the west with the result that
the population of America will be increased
by tens of thousands of lDberty-loving, hon.
est and religious people.
The case of Finland is one that appeals
with peculiar force to American sympa-
thies. Finland is little nation, but for
1900 years 1t has enjoyed its own govern
ment, it's religion, it's literature and its
own language. Now it is about to have all
these privileges ruthlessly torn from them
by the cruel DEGREES of the Russian gov
eminent.
1t was in 1914 that Russia took posses
sion of Finland, but this possession was
obtained by solemn treaty that Finland
should forever enjoy her own autonomy.
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-12-31

ito see themselves surrounded at every step
by gendarmes. 1t Is not these that keep
the people quiet; it is hereditary respect
for the holiness of law. We are no rebels,
but we are not worthy of our free institu-
lions If we do not, openly and without fear,
humbly but firmly protest against every
violation of our fundamental laws-our
constitution-sworn to by five czars and
further development under their wise rule.
The whole Finnish people find such a vio-
lation in the manifesto OF February 15."
The Finlanders have not given up hope
that the car will show mercy to them,
but from the ruling party they expect moth
ing. In spite of this feeling that they are
to he robbed of all that is sweetest to them
there Is not the least sign of disorder.
There are no public meetings, no infiam-
matory speeches, and no chance is given
to the authorities to march troops through
the country. In fact, the only kind of DEM
onstration that has been made was on two
occasions-once when the deputatfon start
ed for st. Petersburg In the hope of being
able to see the car. and once when six
Finnish nosblemen were taken to Siberia.

uted large sums to the fund that Is to be

we're crowds Of peasants gaSaeFeo at eacn

heads uncovered stood In perfect silence,
thus showing their respect and gratitude to
those who were working or suffering for
their country's cause.
It is safe to assert that in no country IN
the world would the people act with such
discretion and tact as has been shown in
Finland, and one may judge by this de-
scrlption of the Finnish character whether
the new world is not a gamer by the cars
oppression.
The fact that the young car should have
acted in this manner, however, has caused
no end of comment In every civilized coun-
try. Up to this time he had given every
indication of being liberal and conscien-
tious sovereign. The fact that such man
should have been able to break his oath
so shortly after having taken IL has been
regarded as one OF the strange problems
of psychology, but a theory has been re-
Gently advanced that may be a true ex-
PLANTATION of the mystery According to
this story, which is voucned for in diplo-
matte circles, General Kanapotkin, who Is
in control in Finland informed the car
that he had discovered a plot by which 1t
had been arranged that in the event Of war
between Russia and Germany the Films
were to take the side of their co-religion-
lists in Germany and to provide 100000 men
to fight against Russia.
While there is absolutely 10 truth in
such a story, the fact that the Finlanders
are such strong Lutherans and have al
ready manifested such preference for
Germans over Russians, the latter having
reen regarded as aliens in the Grand
Duchy, it is quite possible that the car
may have been persuaded to accept this
charge, in which case there might be some
slight excuse for his present tyrannical
policy in connection with the people of
Finland.
However that may be, the car seems to
be persuaded that he is acting for his best
interests, and the result will certainly be
that the Finanders will leave their coun-
try to him. The poorer people will leave at
once, and those who have property will
depart as soon as they are able to dispose
of their holdings. Then in the new world
they will re-establish their homes and en-
joy the freedom that they would be unable
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-12-31

to obtain under a military despotism such
as Russia has now formed.
The Finlanders are by no means the only
subjects of the czar who have recently
found refuge in the new world Only year
ago large colony of Doukhobors, or Rus
sian Quakers, found a home in Canada,
and those who have taken an interest in
the welfare of these nineteenth century
Pilgrim Fathers will be glad to know that
they are thriving we'll and are happy. Like
the Finlanders, they were opposed to mill
tarism. and like the Finlanders, they were
past masters in the art OF passive resist
ance. They accepted their oppression hum
fly up to a certain point, and then they
quietly left the country that would not
permit them to live in peace. AS the COM
ing of such honest and Industrious people
Is God-send to the undeveloped sections
of the new world, they may be assured of
a hearty welcome on this continent as long
as there are rulers who Cypress them in
Europe.
