ed on the scene FASTENED to nearby Of
hcers and the locks in the doors could
be heard clicking as they disappeared
and barred the entrance against Hard
man who had by this time developed a.
tendency to rush into each door as he
Scooted his two sane friends around.
The din was deafening, due principal
ly to Hardman's yells and still every
body desired to get him out of the build
ing without using violence.
Hardman had dragged Hatch and the
policeman back towards the governor s
Office probably 30 feet, when Al Mooney
came up behind Hardman. He placed
his hands under the mans shoulders
and with his 165 pounds acted as
'puSher." Hatch and Golf, one on eth
er side of Hardman, then steered the
the door. Once outside of the building
Senator Hartman became quiet and
went to the station with Golf and Hatch
without further trouble. He was placed
under surveillance and will not be lock-
ed up unless he becomes violent again.
An effort is being made to communicate
with the mans relatives. There is no
evidence that he has been in an asylum
and in general appearance he does not
give an indication of his mental condi-
ton. He is a man of average size; with
dark complexion, black wavy hair His
hair was neatly combed and the cloth
ing which Hartman wore, while plain,
was neat. Hardman wore Bryan cam
paign hat.

| While the catch has fallen from 30500,

the price of Holsters has also advanced,
/ so that the value of the industry has in
| creased in a corresponding degree.
The inquiry conducted on Lake Erie
in the calendar year 1899 shows a de-
| cided increase in the fisheries Of the
| lake since the last canvass in quantity
| and value of the product capital in
vested and number of persons en-
ployed. This is chiefly shown in the
catch of white fish and lake herring.
/ The yield of pike and perch though large
| is not considerably greater than in

hundred and twenty-eight persons and

representing an investment of $2,719, 600.
| In 1899, So, 1893 900 pounds of products
! were obtained worth 81, 150 $50. A fea-
ture of the fisheries is the number Of
carp which were, taken, the catch
| amounting to over 100000 pounds. val
ued at $51, 400
On Lake Ontario there was found to
be a material improvement, the yields
. being nearly three times as great as in
| 1897, and it would appear that the effect
of the fish cultural operations which
have been conducted there are beginning
to be felt. The number of persons en-
gagged and capital invested are also
propOTtionately greater. The yield in
1899 amounted to nearly $500, 600 pounds,
valued at over 800, 600.
The quantity of fishing products land
ed at Boston and Gloucester shows an
increase of more than 5000. 900 pounds,
with an increased value of over 81 ,200
900. The bulk of the increase is to be
credited to Gloucester. The total prod
uctS landed from American vessels at
the two ports amounted to 176,774.301
pounds, and were valued at nearly $4,
200. OO0
Inquiries now in progress along the
great lakes and in the Mississippi valley
show that an increasing number Of carp
are being caught and shipped chiefly
to the markets of the larger eastern
cities. From Lake Erie and the Ohio
river and certain tributaries, the guam
tity of this species taken is nine times
as great as six years ago. From the
Illinois river more carp are taken than
all other species combined, the catch for
1899 amounting to 6,3229O pounds,

important factor in the food supply OF
the country
The American fur seal herd continues

LABOR'S CLUB.
How It Is Held Over the New York
Legislature.

Legislature.
Washington. Nov. 16.-The industrial
commission devoted its forenoon session
to hearing testimony from members of
the New York Builders league, the first
witness being Captain Leo of the league.
One of the witnesses, Louis Harding,
said the labor unions controlled state
legislation by means of a blacklist
Mr.. LeO'S testimony dealt largely with
the methods of settling disputes in the
different branches of the building trade
Mr.. Leo said his league had never in
case of a strike called in the aid of the
state board of arbitration. believing the
best way to reach an understanding was
TO meet directly a committee of the
strikers. The state board had been ae-
cused, he said, of Partially.
Louis Harding. a member of the board
OF managers of the New York Builders
league, speaking of labor legislation,
said the labor organizations kept men
at Albany during sessions of the state
legislature. and that members of that
body who did not support the measures
pressed by these representatives were
marked for opposition at the next cleo
ton.
THE legislators are afraid of the labor
vote" he said, and they don't hesitate
TO say So" He expressed the opinion
that most of the laws enacted in the
state in the past few years had worked
injury to the laboIing men themselves
Also. he asserted, that the high price
of labor in New York and the short
hours observed were having the effect
of driving certain classes of work out
of the state.
Mr.. Leo. who returned to the witness
stand, said he knew members of the
New York state assembly who had been
marked for opposition by labor organi-
cations because of their position on abor
measures. He said the labor organiza-
tons We're in the habit of keeping a
lobby of eight or ten men in Albany
while the legislature was in session.

FISH AND FISHING.
Annual Report of the United States
Commissioners.

Washington, Nov. 16-The annual re-
port of the United States commissioner
of fish and fisheries, Mr.. George NJ.
Bowers, says the present amount of cap
itaI invested in the fisheries of the New
England states is $19 637, O36, showing a
decrease of $437, 1853 since the commits
sion's last statistical canvass in 1889
This decrease, however, is stated to be
only apparent, being caused chiefly by
the transfer of the Menhadin industry
to New York The New England food
fisheries in the aggregate have increased
in quantity and decreased only slightly
in value. There are 80, 445 persons en-
ployed in this work and 1,427 vessels,
valued with their equipment at s4,224.-
pounds, worth s9.672. 7O2-the fishery for
cod, cusk, haddock, bake and pollock
ranking first with a value of S2,79S, 100,
followed by the oyster fishery of Rhode
Island and Connecticut, worth $1,s10,6s4

MYSTERIOUS TORPEDO
BOAT IS LAUNCHED.
MEN REPRESENTING A sYNDI-
CATE SUCCESSFULLY GUARD
THEIR SECRET.
Constructed on Ware Island and
Watched Over by Men With
Guns and Savage APP
pearing Dogs.

STANFORD. Conn. Aug Io.-Under
cover OF darkness, with the tide at It's
height, curious appearing dark green
craft glided from mysterious building
on Ware Island and into the water Of
Stamford harbor at half past 10 O'Clock
tonight II was submarine torpedo
boat. concerning which the utmost sa-
crecy has been observed during the If
teen months of its construction. J. g
Carter. who says he comes from New
York. has had practical charge of the
building of the boat, and is believed 10
represent a syndicate.
Extraordinary efforts have been made
TO keep the facts regarding the craft
from leaking out, and there has been
an air Of mystery surrounding the ISL
and A building was constructed in
which the boat was built, which pre-
vented anyone in a passing boat from
catching glimpse OF what was going
on. The workmen were pledged to Sc
crscy. Armed men with savage APP
pearing dogs have patroled the shores
of the island and have successfully in
all who showed any intention
to land. 1t was not until last week,
when one end of the building was tom
down, that those who ventured near
the island were able to distinguish
what appeared to be torpedo boat
Some facts regarding the boat were OBJ
tanned from one Of the men employed
on the island, who lives in Stamford.
In general appearance the craft is like
the Holland submarine torpedo boat.
1t is so feet long and about feet beam
Its propelling power is similar to DR..
Jackson's method, the water being
forced out Of the stern. 1t is equipped
W it'll tanks capable of holding eight
barrels Of kerosene oil. There are two
powerful pumps, worked by electricity.
There is an arrangement by which, as
soon as the oil is consumed, the tanks
will be filled with water, so as to keep
the ballast the same. The submerglng
Of the boat is controlled by rudders On
each side. She has side keels, two
bilge keels and three rudders. There |
are two torpedo tubes projecting from
a coming tower just above the deck. |
The boat is built of yellow pine and is |
sheathed with galvanized iron.
1t had been arranged to launch the |
boat last night. but the approach of |
several men in boat evidently alarm
I'd those on the island, who fired sew
eral shots from shore and ran to and |
'ro excitedly. Several dogs also ap-
)eared and barked savagely, frighten-
ng away the would-be investigators.
