New York parties have been making
inquiries relative to the old porgy fac
tory on Fish Point at Pemaquid beach,
for the purpose of canning sardines.
The following are the official figures
of the fish business at Portland during
the month of March: Cod POI, 936 pounds
haddock 223, 129 pounds, hake 1889
pounds, pollock 6,752 pounds, cusk A.
500 pounds, founders taken in the county
9O25 pounds. There were 35Os barrels
of CLAIMS dug in Cumberland county,
and the Holsters caught in the county
numbered 1928. The fish wardens seiz-
ed of this number 511, under the stand
ard of measurement. The smack ard
lobster steamers landed 164,625.
The Clarks Island Granite Co., which
recently closed contract to furnish the
stone for the Lenox avenue bridge in
New York, has begun work in earnest
at the island quarries, and men are be-
ing employed as fast as they make APP
plication. The contract covers two
lengthy approaches, both abutments
and three large piers. The work will
last year or more, and will furnish en-
ployment for large number of men
during that period. G. H. Blethen has

works. At Vinalhaven about $50 men
are getting out stone for the Frick build
ing in Pittsburg, and at Hurricane and
Waldoboro large number of men are
employed on the same contract.
The Bath Enterprise says: The first
quarter of the year 1901 has been a re-
cord breaker as far as shipbuilding is
concerned. There have been launched
in the Bath customs district during that
period nine wooden and one steel vessel,
making the total gross tonnage 1907.
OF this number six were schooners with
tonnage of 100, two barges of 2,114
tons, the ferryboat Hockomock 1853 tons,
and the steel tug Cuba, recently launch
ed by the Bath Iron Works, $50 tons.
January was the banner month, when
four schooners and one barge went over
board. March was next with schooner,
barge and tug. There were but two
launchings in February, a schooner and
the ferryboat. The outlook is bright
for busy season in all yards along the
water front, and there is every reason
for believing that the present year will
equal that Of 1900, when the tonnage
reached Al, 532.

Wedding Bells,

ST. GEORGE-WEBBER. A pretty
wedding, tinged more OF less with ro-
nance, was that of DR.. Norman st.
George and Miss Matte Goldsmith
Weber, both of Boston, in New York
on Tuesday, April 2nG The marriage
took place at the church of the Trans
fguration, or Little Church Around
the Corner" Rev. George Clark Hough-
ton officiating. DR.. Norman St. George
and his bride will be at home this week,
and will receive the congratulations of
a numerous circle of devoted friends,
who will learn of their marriage with
surprise. DR.. st. George as physician
has been in the employ of Dr. Greene,
with offices at 81 Temple place. NJ ISIS
Weber for some time has been engag-
ed in the business of toilet and hair
dressing articles at 81 Temple place. The
windows of the doctors establishment
are almost opposite those of the parlors
of Miss Weber. This fact may be
only interesting in so far as tracing the
pranks which Cupid no doubt brought
into play in bringing the couple into
the affinity Of love. The doctor is
about 40, of genial manner, and one
who has not been easily susceptible to
the smiles of the fair sex Miss Web
Der is blond with a sweet face and a
most charming manner, intelligent and
cultured. The courtship was begun as
most all such usually are, with fond
glances exchanged as they sat in their
spare time in their respective offices.
The courtship ripened, and with the en-
gagement came the marriage, which oc-
Cured as stated. From what can be
learned from friends Of the couple it
| hot iaf in
York was wholly due to desire of the
bride. Her brother resides in Brooklyn,
at whose residence, after the marriage,
the couple with intimate friends enjoy
ed private wedding collation.. The
following marriage notice appeared in
the Boston papers: "Married-At the

his fortune to the surviving members
of Mosby's command. The Baron
served with Mosby's men until he ran
into a Yankee bullet in the Valley, and
then went back to his native land.
He is now one of the highest officers
of the German army, and has fortune
of 81, 900, 900 to give away. The report
is that he is going to give it to bis old
comrades and put the remnant of the
brave band on its feet financially.
MI. H. G. Jordan, of Richmond, re
members the Baron very well. "He
came over to get some hard service,
and applied to Stuart for it. He was
assigned to Mosby's command. and
got what he wanted" said MIR. Jor-
dan. ''He was anxious to carry a scar
of battle. and got that also. As | re-
member him, he was a great believer
in the sabre, and declared it the great
est of fighting weapons. He could
! show us all tricks with his blade and
was fine. companionable fellow. At
ter he was wounded he went back tc

Mississippi Wins out,

One OF the curiosities of legislation
is that it is always the unexpected that
happens somewhere between the first
reading and the ultimate decision of
the United States Supreme Court.
Thus there was Mr.. Crumpacker, of
Indiana, who for years has been trying
to disfranchise Southern State or
two. He was particularly bent on CIV
ing Mississippi a black eye in the new
apportionment. While the Crumpack-
er bill did not attain a reserve seat in
Congress, the Burleigh bill did, by
virtue of which there was au increase
of 20 members of Congress. CuriousIy
enough Georgia, with an immsnse
minor fraction, which has refused
to interfere with negro suffrage
failed to gain a new member, while
Mississippi. which has knocked The
negro iDcontinently into space, has al
increase OF one, and still more curious
ly this new member will go to that sec
tion of that State most largely com
posed of disfranchised citizens.
The negro, however, cares but very
little for all this. BY almost every
train negroes are leaving Georgia
where they have every right unob
structed, and going to Mississippi
where they know the ballot box il
closed against them Verify. there ar
many queer things.-Atlanta Consti

GEN. L1EBER's RETIREMENT.
Speculation as to Who VIII BE Hi.
SucceaROr.

SpCS"aiOH To :" no VIII be HIS
Successor.
On May q General Lieber Judge adyo-
cate general, will retire, and there is some
Interesting speculation as to who will be
his successor. Col. Thomas F. Barr Is the
senior colonel. having served in the corps
for thirty-six years, and If appointed will
serve until fall. The next ranking officer
Is Col. ]. W. Clous, who will retire fifteen
days after Gen. Lieber. II Col. Barr is
appointed judge advocate general Col.
Clous will not be able to secure promotion.
But Col. Barr is perfectly willing to waive
his seniority in this matter 30 that Col.
Clous may be promoted. Owing to the
fact, however that Congress refused to
pass law providing that an officer who
served during the rebellion might retire
with the next higher grade, the President
is not inclined to promote men to be briga-
diers simply that they may retire with
that rank.
In the case Of Gen. John M. Wilson, chief
of engineers, the President declined to ac-
cept his offer to retire May in order that
Col. H. NJ. Robert might be appointed chief
of engineers and retired with the additional
retired rank. Gen. Wilson made the offer
to advance his regular retirement in No
yember next solely for the tbenefit of Col
Robert, and at pecunjary sacrifice.

RUSSIA'S MERCHANT MARINE.
How 1t Has Been Built Cp in a Few
Years TO Over 5000 Vessels,


A recent rapid development in the Rus
Sian merchant marine is recorded in a re-
port received at the State Department from
United States Consul Kehl at Stettin Her
merchant fleet, which a few years ago con-
sisted of few steamers and about 200 Fin
nish sailing ships, now numbers more than
$3.50 steamships, including river steamers
An imperial ukase recently put in force
limited the Russian coast trade to her own
steamers. This covers the trade between
European and Asiatic Russia, but owing
to the heavy war demand i'm Asiatic Rus
STA that part of the empire is temporarily
exempt from the decree. However Just as
soon as this demand ceases it is certain
according to the consul, that the exemption
Will be withdrawn, and the coast trade law
strictly enforced.
For several years, it is stated, Russia has
paid all the Suez canal dues on her steam
erS bound from European to Astatfc Rus
sia and on her steamers bound to an Asiatic
foreign port, amounting to about two-thirds
OF the total canal dues. In many other
ways government aid is extended to the
merchant marine. Until 1903 anchors,
cha1ns, cable and sailing ship tackle are ad-
mltted into Russia free Of duty From the
lst of January, 1899, foreign-huilt iron ves-
Sels, imported In whole and intended for
external navigation, have been duty free
and likewise all vessels in service on the

REFUSED TO PASS TAX BILL


YOKOHAMA. March o. via Victoria, B.
c., April 2.-Japan Is passing through a pc
culiar political experience. The house of
peers stubbOrnly refused to pass the taxa
tion bill at a time of acknowledged
crisis in internal well as foreign affairs.
The power of the emperor was invoked,
with the result that the peers receded from
their position and passed the bill by a
unanimous vote without amendment or
change. Instead of being distinctiveIy a
government measure, applied for by the
cabinet and indorsed by their signatures,
1t took the form of a private administra-
ton by the emperor, who summoned the
president of the house of peers and handed
to him document embodying the imperial
will as expressed by himself alone
The instant obedience of the house il
lustrates in a striking way the fact that
the ancient reverence for the throne is by
no means impaired. BY the great majority
the emperors action is taken as a most
healthy sign, and there is feeling of gen.
eral relief in the consciousness that there
exists in the empire power of last resort

VICTORY FOR PROHIBITION.
General Result of the Elections f.
Kansas Yesterday.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 3-Albert Parker

enteen votes. The vote was so close on
mayor that the result was in doubt until
the final count was received, shortly after
s am today. The republicans elected the
balance of the ticket, with the exception
of two councilmen. Hughes ran consider
ably behind the rest o. the ticket.
Results of municipal elections over the
state yesterday show that the prohibitory
sentiment is still in tine ascendancy. In

issue was not brought up, city improve
ments and other questions taking the prec-
edence In Wichita the temperance people
made a fight for supremacy, but polled
only about IS per cent of the vote Nu-
merous cities went straight republican.
In nearly every case the republican can

ed a victory for that element.
