A Record Of Good Work Performed
During the Past Year,

Washington June 26.-The work Of
the fish commission is practically COM
pleted for this year. According to the
officials of the commission, when The
reports are sent in July 1 they will
show that it has been the most sue
cessful year in the history of the com
mission. The great bulk of the work
has been in the collection and distribu-
ton of the eggs and fry of commercial
food fish and this year more cod,
whitefish, pike, perch, bass, flattish and
lobster have been planted than ever
before. Fully. AS many shad have been
planted this year as last, when the
high water mark in shad propagation
was reached.
The great commercial value of the
work done by the fish commission can
pest be illustrated in the case of shad.
lhe catch of shad in 1885 was 100000.
The systematic collection of eggs and
distribution of shad fry since that
year have increased the catch annual
" until this year it reached 1900, 900;
an increase of $50 per cent. in II
years. At the same time the cost of
shad has been decreased to the con-
sumer more than 30 per cent. The
value of the catch this year was up
wards of $SOO,000. This result has
been obtained by the commission with
total expenditure of $4,000.
So successful was the experiment
made several years ago for the intro
luction of shad and striped bass on
the Pacific coast that the planting 0f
those two food fishes on that coast has
oeen suspended. The shad catch on
the Pacific now ranges between one
md two million annually. The total
cost of introducing the shad into Pa
cific waters was but $1,000. So plen-
tiful have the striped bass become in
the Pacific coast streams since their
introduction that they can be pur-
chased in the markets of the coast
cheaper the year round than in the
eastern markets. When they were
first introduced they brought 81 q
pound.
In the Rocky Mountain region there

FIRST TRIP A SUCCESS.
The Cup Defender Columbia Exhibits
wonderful Speed.

Newport, r. l., June 26.-The first
trial trip of the new American cup de-
fender Columbia, which took place in
Narragansett bay Sunday was more
successful than either her builders OF
her owners had reason to hope. Not
only did the new boat show herself to
be able in every particular, but she
met the old racer Defender in a
friendly brush of mile to windward
and vanquished her with the greatest
ease. The race between the flyers,
which was over in five minutes, was
sailed in an eight-knot breeze under
the same conditions, each boat carrv-
ing three lower sails. 1t took the
Columbia about three minutes, sailing
from the Defenders weather quarter,
to blanket her, and in five minutes she
was 100 yards ahead, going past the
old cup defender as if she were an
chored. Under these conditions II
would seem as if the Columbia were
from Is to 20 seconds faster than the
Defender, and if she can make the
same gain in hard blow anxiety as
to the safety of the Americas cup will
be considerably allayed.
The trip Yesterday was the builders
trial and although the managing own
er, c. Oliver Iselin, and number OF
his yachting friends were on board
still the Columbia's designer, Nat
Herreshoff, was in charge, and after
the sail down the bay the boat was
towed back to Bristol for few minor
repairs. 1t is expected the boat will
have another trial this week and
by the end of the week will be formal.
ly turned over to Mr.. Iselin. In the
meantime her interior fittings will be
finished and her bowsprit, which ap-
parently started in the socket during
Sundays brush with the Defender
probably will need some attention. Mr.
Iselin expressed himself as being more
more than satisfied with her.

Secret Service Men in Havana are
Earning Their SaIarles-A Budget O1
Cuban News.
Havana, June 23.-The secret service
is doing excellent work. The latest
report shows that since June l the de-
tectives have captured seven criminals
whose identity was not suspected
when the crimes with which they are
charged were committed, 2S connect
ed with recent offenses and well
known, and 16 for whom the autborf-
ties have been looking nearly three
years.
Enrique Collazo, who was member
of the staff of the late CaliXto Garcia,
and who from time to time has at
tackled the American military admin
istration through the press of Havana,
now denounces the Cubans for accept
ing money from the United States and
calls them towards for doing so. He
says:
Dignity should come before the
calls of the stomach. What we want
Is that the interveners should conduct
themselves as the American people ar
large desire, and not in accordance
with the wishes of those here and in
Washington, who are seeking personal
enrichment through lucrative negotia-
tions. Let the administration define a
policy that will enable us to know
what to do to-day and in the future,
and then act in accordance with its
spirit"
The clerical force at Quinta de los
Molinas, now working on the new list
of the Cuban army, finds many pri-
Yates appearing as officers OIL the old
rolls, and numerous cases of bona fide
officers who claim to be privates. This
is particularly the case in the rolls
showing the army as constituted in
1898. In the supplementary lists thus
far there are 1,112 names not included
in the original lists, although entitled
to payment.
Gomez is receiving personal letters
from Cuban officers of high rank in all
parts of the island, including those
who endorsed the action of the former
military assembly, expressing thanks
for his last manifesto. Most of the
writer's proclaim their adherence to
the views of Gomez and promise to
render all the assistance in their pow
er.
Sugar cane in all parts of the island
is suffering from the small amount of
rain that has fallen of late. The
spring planting is the chief sufferer.

beautiful Gin Is Made TO Col. RoOse"

welt.
Las Vegas, n. NJ, June 25.-Memo-
rial services were the first thing on
the Rough Riders reunion programme
Sunday. They were held at the Dun
can opera house and Rev. Thomas uz-
zell, pastor of the Peoples Tabernacle
of Denyer, preached the memorial ser
mon. Mr.. Lafe Young, editor OF the
Iowa State Capital, then delivered an
address. Mr.. Young served with the
Rough Riders and his recital OF the
regiments experiences at Tampa ana
Santiago found responsive echo in
the hearts of the Rough Riders.
The regimental parade took place IN
the afternoon. The regiment formed
mt Camp Cochran and marched to the
tournament grounds six blocks away.
Col. Roosevelt rode as commander,
accompanied by staff of officers. AT
the tournament grounds Col. Roosevelt

the guests of the regiment. Each
troop was preceded by its respective
captain, as far as they were present.
The scene was witnessed by fully TO-
600 people. While the review was GO
ing on, rain clouds were banking heav-
lily in the north and Chairman Whit
more, of the local committee of ar
rangements, requested the colonel to
hurry the movement of the Rough Rid
ers, ostensibly on account of the ap-
preaching shower. Roosevelt COM
piled with the request and in another
instant the troopers were standing in
front of the grand stand. This was
a neat bit of strategy and before Col.
Roosevelt could realize why he was
being spoken to. Hon. Frank Springer,
acting on behalf of the people of New
Mexico, presented Col. Roosevelt with
a medal.
The medal is of solid gold. The
medal is pendant from bar of chains,
V shaped with the ends attached to the

Railroad Construction Increases.

New York, June 23.-The Railroad
Gazette gives preliminary figures Of
new railroad building for the first six
months of 1899. They show a total
Of 1,1e1 miles. This is an advance OF
90 miles over the preliminary figures
of last year, but the Gazette says there
is reason to believe the new railroad
building in actual progress is much
more extensive than was that of year

sailors, as the men who robbed and
murdered Martin Meier, the aged Swiss
recluse who was found dead in his
lonely home about three weeks ago.
Smith and Brauer are said to be in
Michigan, and several Chicago officers
are searching for them.
The information was given the po-
lice by an acquaintance of the alleged
murderers, who, it is said, knew of
their intention of robbing Meier and
to whom they confided the details of
the robbery. Instead of securing sew
eral thousand dollars, however, it is
supposed the men succeeded in finding
but SIS. Meier had previously told
the men that he expected his brother
at the house in the afternoon to help
him do some shingling. The rob-
bers left Meier bound and gagged, be-
lieving that he would be released by
his brother But no one called at the
house until the following Wednesday,
when his body was discovered.
