Marseilles, November 30.-The strike at this port which was started last week by the stokers to obtain an ln- rease of wages is now practically com plete as regards the steamers here. As the ships arrive the hands desert and the harbor is so crowded with empty vessels that it is difficult to find room for newcomers. There has been no disorder as yet but the government is sending troops to meet any emergency two regiments of cavalry arriving to- day.

GREAT PACKERS
 PUT OFF MERGER
Tight Money and Fear of Adverse
 Government Action.

Chicago. November 30.-Tlght money, the condition of affairs in Wall street and an underwriting syndicate dubi- ous of the outlook have caused an in- definite postponement of the big pack CTS combination. There arc other reasons, chief of which is notice served in a semi way from the White House that the merger would be at tackled by the government the moment it "happened.'
 Again. the public pulse was felt, and found in no condition to absorb the $500 OOO.OOO common stock which it was proposed to float.
 The news of the abandonment of the scheme permeated all the brokers of- fees yesterday. Confirmation was plain in the action of the stock of Swift & Co.,, which touched the low point in six months, $115. It recently sold as high as $170.
 The combination planned a $500, ,OOO.- 900 corporation. There were to be S2OO. .OOO, 900 preferred, S2OO 900 com mon stock and $1OO. 100000 3 per cent bonds. The latter securities were to be held for money advanced in pur- chasing outside plants. The profit Of the underwriting syndicate, estimated at S10, GOO OCO, was to come off the bonds and it was believed that $S5,000,00 would be realized.
 In view of the immense sums thus ! far expended in the acquisition oi plants. the necessity Tor $S5,O0O,OOO oi underwriting capital becomes more ap- parent.

ARIZONA COUPLE
 WEDDED IN NEW ORLEANS
Miss Donna Wilson and Col. Duncan
 N Hood.

Boston. Mass, November 30. (SpeciaD -Boston's musical set has a sensation tonight in the announcement that Miss Donna Wilson, daughter of Colonel James F. Wilson, the congressman of Prescott, Arizona. has been quietly married to Colonel Duncan Norbe | Hood, of New Orleans.
 Miss Wilson, who was a student at the New England conservatory of music, had announced her marriage for next June after her graduation, but evidently matrimony had greater charms than music. or as believed here the change arose from the sudden business exigencies of Colonel Hood.
 The latter is son of the late con federate general, John B. Hood, and he is largely interested in Arizona mining property. He commanded a regiment of immunes in the Spanish war.

HEADED FOR MINNEAPOLIS.
Line from Iowa Falls May Give Kan
 sas City Short Cut.

Iowa Falls, November 30.-As the completion of the Des Moines, Iowa Falls X Northern between this city and the state capital approaches. pub lie interest naturally turns to the in tcntions of the company relative to the construction of the line northeast from this city. It has been planned to extend the line to the northeast to connect either with some through line running to Minneapolis and St. Paul or to build an independent line to the Twin Cities.
 Two preliminary surveys have al- ready been run to points in the north crn part of the state. These lines terminate at Mason City and Charles City. There has been considerable discussion as to whether traffic ar engagements have not been contem- plated with the St. Paul to handle north bound business.
 It is figured by some that if either the Chicago Great Western or the St Paul should secure control of the roaC It would offer a shorter cut for the business of either of these lines to De, Moines and thence south to Kansas City for a western and southern out let and eventually become link in a short line between the Twin Cities and Kansas City.
 That plans for a northern extension or the Des Moines short line will b. formulated and put into execution early in the spring is generally conceded, al though the officials of the new roaC refuse to divulge for publication any of the plans that enter into a northern outlet for their road.

ELEVATING BRITISH LABOR.
American Plan Tried in London and
 Surprises the Natives.

London, November 3o-The American plan of paying good wages and encour- aging employees to increase the daily output, which was introduced by the American Electrical Works at Man chester, has occasioned a remonstrance by the Employers federation of that district.
 The latter claim that the labor mar ket is demoral.2ed and their works drained of their best men by Ameri- cans, who pay their laborers F cents an hour, against cents paid by the British employers, and get double the amount of work accomplished.
 The Americans will ignore the pro- test. They say that the British work man is capable enough, but he is de i moralized by low wages and the domin- | eering of the English foremen.

eral that found the Pacific. Like the
previous volumes of the series, this is most
readable contribution to the literature of sport
and Of natural history, and conveys the spirit
and charm Of the open air pursuit Of wild
creatures. Mr. Sage writes from full knowl-
edge and experience of the Atlantic Coast sal
mon. One of the mysteries of the fish is where
they go during their marine sojourn, after their
visits to the fresh water Of rivers for the spawn
ing season. Then they change from 1.-The plump,
brilliant creatures Of a few months since into
lank, Shiny objects" That they do not go far
is considered probable; and that they generally
or frequently do return to the same rivers has
been amply shown by marking and slight mu-
tilation for the purpose of identifying individual
fishes.
Salmon have been practically eXtermlnated
from the Atlantic Coast rivers of the United
States, through the use of nets and other ille-
gal means of catching them. and Mr.. Sage be-
walls the lax enforcement of the laws which
sets at naught all the efforts in the way of arti-
fetal propagation. The Kennebec, the Penob-
scot the Connecticut have thus been depleted
of salmon, and efforts to introduce it into the
Hudson have been frustra ted The British pos
sessions in North America now the greatest
field in the world for the salmon angler; and the
Esuuimaux River, leased by ]. J. Hill,
probably the finest Of all its salmon rivers. Mr..
Sage is full of the practical lore Of the salmon
fisher and describes at length all that he should
know as to tackle and methods Of fishing. AS
to flies, there is a wide divergence OF oplnloh'
and he is often inclined to think that the oo-
servation OF his Indian guide Is correct: -" en-
salmon want fly, he take any fly damn QUICK

to overlook artificial or temporary characters
in our search for real ones. Thus to know that
a salmon has red flesh and pike white flesh is
to know nothing about either salmon or pike.
The real differences appear comparison OF
the fins, the teeth, the skeleton, and the facts
we have gained to the origin of the different
iorms. The of technical terms, therefore,
finds its justification in that the facts they set

used in describing anything else.
Sport not being the chief interest for which
the book is intended. there Is little specifically
devoted to this subject. except a preliminary
chapter fishing with a fly and the art of
casting. But there is much that will make 1t
invaluable to the angler well to those
who look at fish from other points of view. and
a reference book for all whose interest is drawn
to fishes for any reason. OF the 1000 species
of fish known, about one-fourth are found
in North American waters-3,3OO in NUMBER

to which the authors have devoted their atten-
tion-those that are food game for man. 1t
