Reports from Hospitals Are Very
Favorable-RaIiway Trying to
Make Settlements.

Fond du Lac, Wis, June 2S.-[Spe-
cial. THE condition of the patients in
jured in Sundays railroad wreck con-
tinues favorable. Robert Wells rested
most comfortably last night and is out
of danger. Reports from Green Bay are
to the effect that all the patients there
are doing nicely
Claim Agents Little and Lewis of the
North Western road have been busy en-
deayoring to make settlements with the
injured, but have met with little success,
the patients in most of the instances pre-
ferring to defer settlements. There is
one notable exception, a farmer whose
hip was injured yesterday settling. for
SO. The other extreme is given in a
statement of his intentions made by d.
H.. Cooper of Cooper blanket fame, whose
son Walter had leg crushed and who
now lies at St. Vincent hospital in Green
Bay. Mr.. Cooper says he is going to sue
for $4,000 damages.

FISH AND FISHERIES.
Progress of the Commissions Work I'M

Progress of the Com nission's Work I'm
der Republican Administrations.
Nearly forty kinds Of food and game
fishes now are propagated and distrib-
uted by the commission. These include
such well-known and economically I'M
portant species as the cod, mackerel,
fatfish and lobster among saltwater
species; the shad, striped bass, Attain
tic salmon, Quinnat salmon, blue back
salmon and steel head trout among the
fishes Of the coast rivers; and the white
fish, lake herring, lake trout, brook
trout, rainbow trout, landlocked sal
mon, grayling, black bass and pike
perch among the fishes Of the lakes
and interior waters generally.
The fish output during the three fis-
cal years ending with June, 1900,
reached the enormous total of over g.
000,OOO,000, an amount equal to the
combined results Of the previous seven
years operations. The work in 1899
was double that Of 1896, and in 1900
was still larger. Some idea Of the ex-
tent Of the artificial propagation may
be obtained from the following table:

tary resources were then clearly point
ed out, as well as their usefulness as
nurseries for American seamen who
would be ready to respond to their
country's call If needed.
No wonder, in these circumstances,
Mr.. Edmonds in his speech made 1t
very clear that the revival of our for
eign- going shipping is not sectional
or partisan question, but Is q purely
industrial, commercial and auxiliary
navy question. He said: Originating,
as the South Is already doing, about
$4OO,OO0,O0O worth Of foreign exports
a year, shipped almost exclusively IN
vessels that fly the British, German and
other foreign flags, the South may we'll
be deeply concerned in the upbuilding
Of merchant marine because Of the
magnitude Of it's present export trade"
This trade he expected would rapidly
multiply, and he predicted a cotton
crop in the not distant future of 1OO,-
100000 bales.
1t is not surprising to find that both
Of the great political parties are now
vying with each other in their espousal
Of an American Merchant Marine.
That the representative men In both
parties have formally and finally re-
jected the suggestion Of .'free ships
which means the purchase Of British
instead Of American built ships for our
maritime needs-may be taken as an
indication Of both the conservatism
and progressiveness which augurs we'll
for early effective and permanent leg
islation in behalf Of our too long neg
lected shipping upon the seas. 1t Is
this unanimlty Of sentiment that Is
converging upon demand for such
legislation that will have become so
insistent and imperative as to compel
such legislation at the next session OF
Congress-

THE WRECK INQUEST.
If Orders Had Been Followed Acct.
dent Would Not Have Occurred.

Depere, Wis, June 2S.-[Special. i
There has been no session of the wreck
inquest today. An adjournment was TAX
en- last night until tomorrow morning at
8 o'clock. General Superintendent Kish-
ton of the North Western road was also
put on the stand and asked If it was
customary in running numerous excur-
sion trains to a given point to abandon
freight traffic running in opposite direc-
ton. He said it was not and knew of no
cases where it was DONE Asked II 1t
was good railroad management to start
such freight train to Depere to meet
three trains at Depere with small side
track room, he replied that it was per-
fectly safe and had the company's rules
been complied with there would have
been no accident. He said, however, that
another time under similar conditions
they would probably not do it. He said
the freight train had no right on the
main track south of the block signal with
or without flag protection and read the
company's rules covering this point. Dis
cussing this particular case as 20 what
should have been done he said the
freight train was given up to certain
time to get to Depere and was expected
to have tho main track clear. The fact,
however, that the train was too long to
get ON the side track did not give it the
right to enter the main track south of the
south switch. What should have been
done and what is usually done III
such cases is to leave the rear
end Of the train on the main track
north of the depot, send flag
man ahead for additional protection and
allow the incoming passenger to run to
the station. Then an order must be
procured from the train dispatcher, per-
hitting him to enter the block and suffi-
cient time to double over on the other
sidetrack while the following passenger
would be held in the further block or
permitted to come on caution card,
that is, with the knowledge that freight
train was there switching and to run
slowly.

FIVE or fifty million feet of logs are still

rains do not come to release the millions

older English mills, the speed at which
our paper machines run being especially
surprising to them.
