SALMON FISHERIES IN NORWAY.
Success Of The Government Hatchery on The
Orammsn River.

printed analysis OF the report OF the
inspector of salmon fisheries In Nor

The average yield from the rivers
for 1S95-96 is put at 2is,3s7 Kilograms
(54s, 95s pounds), valued at 249,12T kroner
1866 676): that from the coast fisheries
at 792,i77 Kilograms u,TiI094 pounds),
valued at s45.575 kroner (s2266lD. The
yield from the rivers shows diminu-
tion of 10000 Kilograms rs compared
with the average for the three pre-
ceding years. The average number or
bag nets in use on the coast increased
but the yield, from the salt water hsh-
cries showed no Improvement.

1T Is good news indeed that Lieut..
Gilmore OF the navy and his dozen or
more shipmates OF the cruiser York
town. captured by the Filipinos some
months ago. are To be released. But
very little has been known of the party
since they were taken prisoners, al
though their writings on the walls of
the rooms where they were confined In
a village that was abandoned by the
insurgents TO our troops indicated that
they were not enjoying many OF tho
Iuxuries OF life, even though they were
not the victims OF unnecessarily hard
usage. The Flipinos, according 10 the
report, viii return the prisoners as
recognition OF the practice of Gen. Otis
In keeping none OF the insurgent pris-
oners, simply holding on to the arms
captured with them. Lieut.. Gilmore
and his men alive and we'll will receive
a big welcome when they are restored
to the American lines. They were the

navy in the Philippines and except
Hobson and his mates. who we're cap
tured by Spaniards. the only men the
