Among the honors the British have re.
Gently paid Americans none will be more
appreciated by the mass ofthe people than
the conserripg Of the Victoria medal on
Bandmaster John Philip Souss. The frank
and hearty appreciation of distinctively
American music by King Edward is pleas
ing, and his pointed choice Of our patriotc
airs and marches is another evidence of
the good feeling that exists between the
ADglo-Saxon nations We can understand
The preference OF Queen Alex andTa for the
sweet and solemn hymns that form part
of our churcbly devotion, AID We are proud
that the Eoglish king and bis court stand
when "Tne Star Spangled Banner" is
played. But Americans must have their
utmost enthusiasm aroused when they know

Fish : Commission Believes They
Can Be Found.

Believing that there are sponges OF .
merchantable quality the waters about the
Sandwich islands, the last week of the stay OF
the party representing the Uuited States
Fish Commission will be devoted IN part
to an investigation of reports concerning
their presence. Should there be found
spopges which will be fit for market, these
will add materially to the wealth OF the
islands, more, in fact, than any other pro.
duct of The fisheries.
There is one state of the Union which
now produces all the sponges which are
brought to the market locally. Along The
coast of Florida The industry has been
pushed to its limit, until the annual sales
OF sponges amounts to s 60O, 900. The prod
uct sells for as high as 81 90 a pound,
which makes tne business most profitable
There ara sixty schoOneTs in the trade, and
the business Is the staple of many OF the
towns along the coast Of the state. The
fishermen have brought the business to a
high stale of perfection, and they are able
to make large catches IN season.
Tue sponge fishing is done in deep water,
the best specimens OF the large bath sp0nges
being obtained from fifty feet below the
surface. They are located with g water glass
and then pcked with long pole carrying
on Its end blade Ike lesser s, which
cuts The sponge loose with twist, and 1t
is then brought to the surface, if there Is
luck; and If not, and it gets away, 1t is los.
forever. The men become very elpsrt u
the business, and they will carry 1t on during
h,gh winds, losing very few OF the spCnges
There are many varieties of the sponge,
those whicn are generally ic1nd about tn.
inclosed waters being OF a sort which ar,

representing the Kent County, and Colo
mel Samuel L. Kenncy, representing the
Delaware. insurance companies, have
returned from Dclmar. where they adj
justed the insurance losses. The fire
was noe of the worst ever suffered by
amy town on the peninsula. More than
two-thirds of the homes. and all but two
of the forty stores were burned, the
town having 200 inhabitants. From this
loss of nearly 100000. less than 100000
insurance will be realized. The Kent
lost S6.5OO. the Delaware $1,000. the other
$4,000 being divided in smaller lots
among several companies.
Former Speaker of the Senate W. L.
Sirman was the heaviest loser. and in
his old age he has been reduced from a
wealthy and enterprising manufacturer
almost to poverty. Within the last Il
Years he has lost above insurance nearly
S1OO 600. through fires alone.
