sAVE THE Use.

There has been an intention shown
recently both by the state and local fish
wardens to enforce the laws against
the wholesale destruction of the "fnny

destruction caused by these illegal

The law is plain and the penalty severe,
and it should be rigidly enforced
A fisherman who catches a great
many fish through the medium of the
seine and few with the hook gave his
side of the story the other day He
said: 1T is true that many fish are
caught in the seine, but none are re
tanned as a rule except buffalo, mud
cat suckers and German carp. Now
these fish are almost worthless, and
buffalo destroys more bass spawn than
any other agency Then thousands of
turtles and gars, which are an enemy
to the fishermen. are destroyed. So
you see we do good The argument
advanced by the man with the seine
seems plausible, and if he adhered
strictly to the programme outlined
there would be no trouble. But he

Austria Working to Combine Com
mercial Europe in Defense.
New York. May 1s-A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Paris
says: Addison Harris. former United
States minister to Austria, is now in
Paris on his way home. He gave to the
correspondent the following statement
on the commercial sentiment of Euro
pean nations against the United States:
I'm 1887 the Austria Hungarian min
lister of financial affairs urged on the
Austrian parliament the necessity for
9 zSG1cinental bund against the United
States of America 1t was reported
that he also addressed notes on the sub
ject to European courts. Austria in
pursuance of this policy is now engaged
in framing a new tariff, which 1t IS ex-
pected Hungary will ratify, thus max
ing the new Austro- Hungarian tariff
take effect in 1908.
THAT year the triple alliance expires
by limitation, as also do the commercial
treaties between the three powers. 1t
is reliably reported that these powers
Will cooperate commercially at the
same time as they renew their martial
alliance
The board of trade of Austria is dill
gently engaged in collecting data and
framing schedules and the minister of
finance will soon submit the proposed
new law to the Austrian parliament.
The terms of the schedule have not yet
been made public, but one well in
formed said to me: After we get our
new commercial treaties with Germany
and Italy, then if the United States
wants to trade with US they n ust offer
high inducements
"Of course how Austria and Hungary
may formulate their common tariff is
not entirely assured. On this the COM
mercial treaties with Germany and
Italy must rest. But the sentiment of
farmers and manufacturers is for high
protection with favoritism to their po-
litical allies.
THE operations of Mr. Morgan and
his associates have energized the people
of central Europe They are not afraid;
they have foreseen the fierce struggle
with the United States and have been
preparing for the fray Including Italy,
Germany and Austria there are 10000
900 persons between the Mediterranean
and the Baltic. They produce every
thing we do except cotton Germany's
iron works are second to none, and the
question every morning with the mer-
chants of Budapest is, What is the
price of grain in Chicago?
The upholders of the triple alliance
claim they have controlled the peace of
Europe during the last two years They
alliance they can regulate the7commerce
of Europe.
7 do not think the Austrian minister
sent invitations to the chancelleries of
Europe to join in a coalition against
the United States. If he had he would
not tell. Anyway, the time is not ripe
for such action. European coalition is
not impossible, but it is exceedingly diff
ficult.''

ROBS A SPECTATOR
While the Commons Discuss Needs of
the British Army

New York. May 1S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The army debate in the house of COM
mons last night was interesting rather
than instructive. Lord Roberts oceu-
pied a seat in the peers gallery and
watched the sham fight which was be-
ing conducted on the floor of the house.
There was one man who knew more
about the needs and conditions of the
British army than any one eiSe in the
country and he was compelled to re
main a mere silent auditor while party
politicians discussed the details of the
scheme Mr.. Broderick, although he did
not make a speech. gained the respect
and confidence of the house by his deep
sincerity and earnestness. He had, of
course to refer to Winston Churchill
and tainted him on his hereditary de-
sire to run imperialism on a cheap
scale. Mr.. Asquith made by far the
most convincing speech heard on the
subject from the opposition benches. He
denied that the country would have
been better prepared for war in South
Africa if the proposed scheme had ex .
listed in 1899
Mr. Balfour had not intended taking
part in the debate. but he deemed il
advisable to reply to Mr. Asquith- The
leader of the house spoke with delight
ful animation, but he was not very con-
vincing One sensation his speech GER
tainiy did contain; that was revelation
of the fact that at one time in 1880
there were in the United Kingdom only
$500 rounds of small arms and ammuni
ton The government majority of 142
on the resolution was about in accord
ance with the general expectation
