The Lobster Fishery.

Representative Littetield is very hopeful
of getting a lobster Matching station estab-
lished in Maine. He has introduced bill
for that purpose, and in addition has the
endorsement of all the members of the dele
cation and of the fish commission for the
project AS large portion of the Holsters
are captured on the coast of Maine it is felt
that lobster Matching station could very
properly be located there. The bill has been
referred to committee, and Mr.. Littlefeld
states that he shall do all he possibly can to
further it in this Congress.
Congressman Fitzgerald introduced res
olution, Feb. 1st, calling on the fish commits
sioner to submit to Congress the facts re-
garding the condition of the lobster indus
try. Fitzgerald claims that the lobster is
fast disappearing from American waters and
unless some remedial legislation is had at
once it will be only matter of time when
the lobster will become extinct. He believes
that some law should be passed by the
national government regulating the size of
Holsters which can legally be caught.

emigration to America.
They are known to have been well

from London ten days ago, telling of

their passage to America that they
had no intention of returning to

that shortly after their departure
from the town the train in which they
were travelling was shelled by the
British and half of it cut off, the re-
mainder steaming to Pretoria.
This incident probably happened at
Elandsfontein Junction. Passengers
tonight say that Pretoria is utterly
demoralized, and that the rush for the
coast has but just begun. Five more
train loads of fugitives are expected
to arrive here in the night.

paper says, "are beginning to get very
tired of paying the bills Of the farclcal
process known as suppressing the liquor
traffic." and the cause of their WEAKNESS
IS the discovery that, for certain reasons,
the suppression Of the traffic is not at all
desirable from the viewpoint OF the
officers OF the law. The people have
been long suffering" continues the
Press, "Year after year they have
contributed large sums to the sherih7s
Office for the purpose Of shutting up the
rum shops, and the rum shops are as
numerous and wide open today as ever.
Two men are constantly employed at a
liberal per diem and fees, whose sole
duty it is to shut up the rum shops; yet,
Unless appearances are misleading, the
rum shops increase rather than dim lnish
in numbers. AS the law is now. it offers
a constant and powerful temptation to
keep the rum shops open.
1t appears that the Maine liquor law
is so framed that every rum shop shut
up means loss of opportunity for fees,
Tor no seizures can be made in closed
shops, and every new rum shop opened
means a gain ol opportunity for lees.

LIQUOR AT SUMNER Resorts.

A~lGDOH Al GUNNER RESORTS.
Commissioner Wilson writes to the
Collector First District, Brooklyn, as
follows:
Your letter ofthe 2Ist OF June has been
received, concerning the Bergen Beach
Company and the Manhattan Beach
company, each OF whom has several
bars for the retailing ofliquors atvarious
points on the grounds controlled by the
company, but all belonging to the
pleasure resort conducted by the com
panY.
1t is held that in each Of these cases
one special tax stamp taken out by the
company as a retail liquor dealer for its
premises comprising the pleasure resort
is sufficient for all OF these bars, The
long settled ruling ofthis Office has been
that, in the case OF a summer pleasure
resort under one proprietorship, whose
grounds are not cut into two or more
parts by intervening property under the
control or management OF other,persons.
the entire grounds composing the resort
are to be regarded as forming but one
place of business so far as the special
tax laws are concerned, aud that one
special tax stamp taken out by the
proprietor for the retailing of LIQUORS at
that place is sufficient to cover these
sales made by him in any number of
buildings, booths, or stands erected
within the boundaries Of the resort.

The Baptist churches ol Virginia are
deeply stirred up over the fight made
exclude from membership all persons
engaged in the liquor traffic. Some Of
the most fashionable and Influential
churches in Richmond are affected, and
are awaiting developments with keen
interest.
The Dover Baptist Association, which
is the legislative one OF the church, at
its session last year adopted a resolution
declaring that any church which allows a
person engaged in the liquor traffic to re.
main among its membership should be
dropped from all affiliation with the
association. One oFthe oldest and most
intlu initial churches IN Richmond has
utterly ignored this declaration, and has
not only retained among ITS members,
but as officers, men engaged in the
whiskey trade.
Those who are behind the movement

membership in the church include some |
Of the ablest pulpit orators in the South, |
They propose to call attention especially |
TO the Richmond cases, and draw the |
line on them The pastor Of one Of the
churches which ignored the mandate Of
the association, took part in the debate
on the question. One OF the officers Of
his church is the largest liquor dealer
in Richmond man of wide popularity
and influence,
The discussion of the question Of
barring liquor dealers prom ises to be
one Of the most notable in the history |
OF the Baptish Church in the South.
The outcome is awaited with general
interest and some apprehension, There
is some speculation as to the probable
course OF the Dover Association, should
the Richmond churches concerned
decline to submit to the demands of the
legislative authority of the church. as
they are expected to do, in view Of the
stand already taken. A local upheaval
