soldiers, when they might wreak their
vengeance for the slaughter Of the day be-

This was Grahams idea. We were SO
yards now from the walls. Aids galloped
furiously from regiment to regiment. The
military secretary was here, there and
everywhere. 1t was to be an assault, an
other glorious but costly charge on the
walls and over.
Some of you, perhaps, have known
what it means to wait for the charge to
sound We stood there and looked at the
walls. They were not high enough to be
a formidable leap, if you We're once on
top, but to get to the top was the work,

that, the convicts had been potting at us

Practically there was not an abe-boded

the whole force and the Egyptian garri-
son had gone with him.
For three weeks, ever since the defeat

Their Unexpected Disappearance
Has Ruined IA FlOurishing Indus
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The menhaden industry thrived for
many years along our northeast coasts.
Every season the arrival of these summer
guests in our cooler Northern waters has
been eagerly awaited by fishermen who
have piled their industry with such zest
that millions of the fish have been saved
the trouble of returning to their winter
home, south of Cape Hatteras. Compare
lively few of the fish are eaten, though,
to some extent they are canned as sar-
dimes. They had been caught chiefly for
their abundant oil, extracted by mechan-
ical processes and used in leather dress
ing and for various other purposes; the
refuse makes a highly priced fertilizer,
which the Indians learned to value before
the advent of the white man.
Last week the American Fisheries Com
pany, or the menhaden trust, as ii was
called, went into the hands of a receiver
because for two years past only thous-
ands of menhaden had come before all
the way from Florida to be turned into
oil and fertilizer. This unaccountable
change of habit was first observed in the
season of 1898. The company had just
organized for business and then found
that it had no business opportunity. 1t
had consolidated the interests OF thirteen
menhaden oil plants along the coast from
Delaware to Rhode Island, and expected
to do a business of at least $1,000. 900 a
wear in oil and fertilizer; but for the first
time since they Were built. the oil plants
were idle during most of the season and
there was little Improvement last year.
Explorers were employed to find what
had become of the fish. and Investigations
were extended even into South American
and Pacific coast waters but no news
was received till 1t was finally reported
that the menhaden had taken refuge from
oil factories, and perhaps from the trust,
along the Texas coast. Varieties of the
family live in the Gulf the year round,
and whether our missing menhaden have
really been discovered there has not been
definitely disclosed.
The errauc migration of fish is under

quent anxiety to the fishermen. They
may seek in vain for fish where II Is
usually abundant and not know that IT is
in plentiful supply both north and south
of them. Blue6sh were very scarce last
year and the mackerel catch for several
seasons has fallen to a tenth of it's former
dimensions. Shore cod were once abund-
ant near our coasts, but are now scarce.
while salmon were reported in 1894 to have
almost disappeared from the Columbia
river Everlasting may have much to do
with the depletion of fish in certain dis
tricte, yet whatever causes may produce
the migration or scarcity of fish for a
time the conclusion reached by Prof.
| Huxley after his study of the British
fisheries that the supply OF deep-sea fish
is lnexhaustible is accepted by all other
! fishery experts.
