MINI esOta's Fish Census.

The state game and fish commission
has prepared a statement regarding
the kinds of fish found in every lake
and stream in Minnesota. The work
is the result of laborious undertaking
bv the wardens of the commission, says
the Minneapolis Tribune. All the
streams and lakes are enumecat"d': the
fish found therein, the kinds, and the
comparative abundance, as far as can
be estimated. given. Furthermore,
sportsmen will be told by he commits
sion whether the water is clear or
muddy, good for game fish or better
for other species, and details are given
regarding depth of water and the album
dance of food fish. It's expected that
this statement will be of advantage in
keeping the lakes stocked. and that
hereafter prosecutions for violations OF
the law will be easier, as the culprits
will not be able to swear that the fish
was caught in international waters.

The production last year was not
only far beyond precedent. but it was
considerably larger than any estimates
that had been made during the year,
The coal output of the three largest
producers in 1898 was as follows:
Tons
Great Britain. ..........,,,.......22 20 5oi 0a o
United States. 2l9 80 667
Germany OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. l44 2S3, 1876
The next country In the list is
France. but she follows at a very great
interval and is dependent upon import
ed coal.
Of the increased production of BIZ
luminous coal last year, amounting to
nearly 32,0OG.000 tons, over 100000
WAS supplied by Pennsylvania. Hi
nois's increase was nearly 5000 900 and
that of Ohio was more than 100000
tons. The increase in West Virginia
was 1000 900 tons and in Colorado near
~ 100000.
The estimated value of the entire
production in each of the past three
years has been:
1897 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 094, iOI
lSS ............'''....... Suo'Vov'ooo
1899 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 2o9, 45o, Az
The average value per ton in 1897
was a shade under 81; in 1898 it was
95 cents; last year it was little more
than 81.
In a review of the worlds coal trade
published in England four years ago
it was stated that between 1895 and
1s94-96 the cost of production in the
United States had been reduced from
IS. Sd. to As. 1OAd., and was then lower
than the value of coal at the pits
mouth in either England or Germany.
The place the United States is to oc-
cupy in the manufacturing world is
indicated by the fact that the cost of
production in England must increase
with the deepening of the shafts. while
the coal area of the United States is
so great that little increase from this
cause need be anticipated here for
many years, while we are already the
largest and cheapest producers OF coal
among manufacturing nations.

THE ARCADE MUST co.

The large and airy arcade in front
of the Seaboard Air Line building in
this city is shortly to be inclosed with
glass and Will be utilized as Offices to
accommodate the clerical force which
ever since the consolidation of the
Greater Seaboard system have over
flowed into the corridors of the build
ing.
Plans have been drawn by Assistant
Chief Engineer SoSoff for an attrac-
1--WE glass front, which will he says,
improve the looks of the building. Mir.
Sogoff expects to obtain LOO square
feet of space by utilizing the arcade.
and this space will be divided into
four Offices. two on each side of an
entrance way for passengers to and
from the waiting rooms and trains
Carpenters are already at work pre-
pairing the window sashes to be used,
ana II Is expected that the whole thing
will be completed in two weeks
Several other changes are contem-
plated In the general Office building
by which the engineers hope to obtain
enough room for the entire clerical
force. One of the plans is to remove
the carpenters shop on the ground
floor and use the space thus gained for
offices: If these plans produce room
enough the plan of removing part of
the clerical force to the Commercial
building, or raising the roof of the
general office building, both of which
have been considered, will not be re-
sorted to.

THE ALExANpER's COOK.

The collier Alexander was still lying
OH Lambert's Point yesterday and will
probably not sail until this morning.
The reason given at the navy-yard for
the delay in sailing was that the ship
is awaiting the arrival of the remain
der of her crew from New York. But
back of this statement there are one
or two facts which show how entirely
men are at the mercy of their cooks.
and that the autocrat who rules in the
galley of an ocean steamship is by no
means person without power
In the case of the Alexander the cook
in question has been all important for
two days. and this is really the reason
the ship did not sail at daybreal< yester
day morning as intended. The cook who
had been engaged and brought from
New York positively refused to go to
sea when he found 1t was to be on y
collier. and no amount of persuasion or
argument would change his mind.
Ihen. as 1t was impossible to get along
without some one to man the galley.

from 1881 10 1890 next decadc) S6i.-

From 1891 to 1900 the average yearly

The annual appropriation has gone
