THEY WERE AFRAID.
Lively Time on Sagadahoc on Monday
Nights Trip to Boston.

Wednesdays Boston Globe said: A
more Disguised lot of passengers than
the 1000 or more who arrived, yester-
day. from Bath and connecting points
on the Eastern Steamship Company's
sidewheeler Sagadahoc, about five
hours behind schedule time, would be
hard to find.
One of the passengers called at the
Globe office about noon and stated that
the steamer left Bath shortly after 6
l.. NJ. Monday. Il don't know how many
passengers were aboard" said the
Globes informant. but the boat was
overcrowded. and l should say that
there must have been more than 1000
passengers aboard when we left Bath.
Everything went all right till We
reached Popham beach. about 7.15 p.
NJ. when the boat ran into the wharf,
tearing big hole in it.
The accident naturally frightened
the passengers, especially the women
and children. of whom there were u
large number. We left Popham about s
O'Clock. ostensibly putting to sea. but
all of sudden the captain turned
about and headed up the river. We
We're somewhat disturbed and those of
us who realized the danger we were in
got together and discussed matters. We
called a meeting of the passengers and
a committee of three was appointed to
wait on the captain and ask him what
he proposed to do. We wanted to go
back to Bath and take train for Bos-
ton as many of us were obliged to be
At our places of business early in the
morning

but he declined to talk with them.
Finally we signed protest against
proceeding to Boston in the boat and
this protest was signed by over 200 of
the passengers. and would have been
signed by many more. but we had used
up all the paper We could find aboard.
After awhile we saw the captain at
supper. and he promised to bring Us
into Boston by O'Clock. How well
that promise was kept may be judged
when we tied up at the wharf here
Just before IL O'Clock"
Capt. Greenleaf of the Sagadahoc.
was seen by the Globe reporter and
asked about the trouble on board his
boat.
We'll" said he, after hearing what
the passengers complained of, eve had
some trouble. but it was all caused by
a half dozen lSiclSers. We had more
kickers aboard. Monday night, than We
ever had before. They began to kick
as soon as they got aboard at Bath.
and they never stopped kicking all the
way up. l really believe that they
kicked in their sleep.
When we approached Popham Beach
there must have heen 500 ma SsenperS on
the hurricane deck. They all rushed
10 the wharf side, and this brought the
boat on her beam and we lost control
OF her. We bumped into the wharf and
scraped off a timber or two from he:
prov, but there was never any need
OF alarm. When we left Popham there
was every indication of squat com
ing, and | laid to, not caring to ven
ture out into it.

BANK ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Tue -Four Men Who Broke into the Cam
den Point Bank Captured in Box Car
Near Leavenworth, Kan.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 4.-The
four Camden Point bank robbers
were captured at Pleasant Ridge, ten
miles west of here, yesterday evening.
Three members of the Leavenworth
police force farm hand and tele-
graph operator comprised the party
which captured the outlaws. The
robbers were caught in a box car
which was on the side track at Pleas
ant Ridge, a little way station. Two
OF the robbers went to grocery
store a mile from their hiding place
and bought some crackers and cheese.
The storekeeper had been notified by
the police that the robbers were
headed in his direction and he sus-
pected who the two strangers were.
The storekeeper telephoned to police
headquarters here, who sent three
officers to the scene.
The box car was surrounded and
the robbers ordered to lay down their
guns and come out, one at time.
They obeyed, after some hesitation.
and were bound securely, loaded into
a spring wagon and brought to Leav-
enworth. After being sweated for
some time they gave their names as

STRIKERS PICKETS.


Chicago, Jan. 4,--Judge Chetlain.
in the circuit court Of Cook county.
yesterday granted the Robert Tar
rant company temporary iniunc.
tion against striking machinists, but
in doing so delivered an opinion, said
to be the direct antithesis of a re-
cent ruling in the federal court. He
said strikers had the right to use
peaceful methods in their fights and
declared that "a patrol or picket may
not necessarily imply force or a
threat of bodily harm" In granting
the injunction the osurt explained
that 1t was not because the place
was picketed, but because there was
unquestioned evidence that the pick.
cts had used threats and violence,
The court also declared that persona
charged with violating an injunction
should not be judged by magistrate
ON charge of contempt of court
but should be given a jury trial.

A DISGRACE TO CIVILIZATION.


London, Jan. 3.-Capt. Guy Bur-
rows, who has just retired from the
employ Of tho Congo Free State gov!
eminent after six years. service, de-
clared in an interview yesterday with
representative OF the Associated
press that the conditions prevailing
in the Congo Free State are a dis
grace to civilization and far worse
than ever before. He pictured afro
cities of the most horrible charac-
ter perpetrated on the natives by Off
cials and whites who had concessions
Of rubber land. As typical instance
of the means employed by the Free
State government Capt. Burrows cor
roborated the statement of an Amer
lean missionary to the effect that the
officials employed 500 cannibals, to
whom they issued rifles, to "massa-
ere and capture unarmed natives who
had rebelled against their brutal
methods"
II have sworn testimony" said
Burrows, "of the Bclgians handing
over natives to cannibal tribes for
the express purpose of being eaten.
Forced labor prevails everywhere and
Shotgun rule is the truest descrip-
ton Of the present administration.
The companies deriving wealth from
the collection of rubber are all more
or less state enterprises, as a third
or half the shares in them are in
varably held by the government.
Latterly King Leopold and the gov
eminent have made some show OF ac-
ton against the agents of some of
the upper Congo companies, but only
minor officials are ever touched and
the so-called reforms are merely in
tended to throw dust in the eyes Of
the public, whose indignation has
been aroused by the stories of this
reign of terror While the present
systems for the collection of rubber
and the recruitment Of natives con-
time the Congo Free State win re-
main a disgrace to the white mans
work in Africa

MASS MEETING OF ZlONISTS.
Impetus Given to the Movement to Estab.
iish the jewish Race in
Palestine

Chicago, Jan. 6. Impetus to the
movement to establish the Jewish
race once more in Palestine was given
last night at mass meeting of Zion
lists nj the Medinah Temple theater.
Two thousand Hebrews. for the most
part supporters Of the plan TO open
again the promised land for the
chosen people, crowded the hall. The
meeting was in connection with the
annual convention of western Zion
lists, whose organization embraces ten
states.
The plan, determined upon at the
Basic. Switzerland, conference was
outlined by Leon Zolotkoff, grand
master of the Knights Of Zion. who
said that the idea was to create a
legally assured home for the Jews.
and a refuge for Jews who cannot be
assimilated by the people among
whom they now live.

THE FISH INDUSTRY.
Commissioner Of Fisheries Bowers
Makes an Interesting Report
The STOCKING OF LAKES And RIVERS
Fewer Shad Hatched During the Last
Fiscal Year Than In Previous Years
Marked Decline In Lobster Fishing
Mackerel Catch Large.

Washington, Jan. Am increase
OF over 100000 in the fish and fish
eggs distributed by the government
throughout the country and a marked
decline in lobster fishing are shown
in the annual report of United States
Commissioner of Fisheries Bowers for
the last fiscal year.
The total fish and eggs distributed
was 1,173,S33,4OO, the principal species
being shad, salmon, lake trout, white
fish, pike, perch, lake herring, cod,
fiat fish and Holsters. In addition to
this regular work on the lakes plans
were matured to begin the propaga-
ton of lake herring there. The to.
tai yield of the great lakes fisheries
for the year was l13,72S,OOO pounds.
worth 2,S11,4OO. There were 9,o7O
persons employed in the lakes fish
cries and $6,617,OOo was invested.
In stocking inland lakes and rivers
1sO,OOO,OOo eggs were placed in the
Missquoi river in Vermont, 100000
eggs were taken from Lake Erie to
Michigan and Missouri and 22s, 900, 900
eggs were held in Put-in-Bay. Out Of
these hauls 24O,sS7 fishes were
Matched. Fewer shsd were Matched
than in previous years, owing to
weather conditions, which caused tho
runs on tho Potomac and Susquehan-
ma to be much smaller than usual.
The total number of shad fry distrib.
uted was 193,2s7,OOO.
1t becomes each year more difficult
to secure lobster eggs along the coast
OF New England. The continued
steady decline Of this important fish,
ing industry renders it the more i'm
portant that efforts should be made
to re-establsh 1t by artificial propa-
CATION. The decrease is most notice
able south of Cape Cod. During the
year there were Matched and planted
in New England waters ZOE $780, 900
cod, 100000 fiat fish and 6O,0Oo. 900
Holsters.
At Boston and Gloucester there
have been landed during the last cal
endar year 162,21s,9O0 pounds of fish.
cry product, valued at S4,3s5 900, a
decrease Of 14,55s,ooO pounds from the
previous year. but an increase Of
Slal,+50 in value.
The mackerel fishery ar 1900.
amounting to S7.967 barrvIs. was
larger than for any year, except 1888, |
since the marked decline which be-
gan in 1888.
In recent years the fisheries of the |
Mississippi and its tributaries have
developed to such degree that in |,
1899 they exceeded in quantity and
nearly equaled in value the entire
yield OF the remaining interior wa
tiers of the United States, except the
great lakes. Mussel shells, extensive.
" used in the manufacture of pearl
were a valuable item, some
i5,5Oo'OoO pounds being gathered, for
which the fishermen obtained S247.
