am certainly hearing complaints
Of the frightful havoc wrought
among the young fish in salmon riv-
ers by lzingfishers, despite the meas
ures taken against the winged enc
mics Of the fry. Guardians on their
way up and down Canadian salmon
rivers, in the performance Of their
duties, are now usually provided with
gums, but seldom get near enough to
obtain shot at these exceedingly
clever winged anglers, who seeming
~ know only too well how to avoid
the traps set for them on the tops
OF poles set into the banks of streams
overlooking the holes frequented by
the young fish. In Tasmania the cor
morants are among the worst of the
winged enemies of fish, and there the
government gives a reward or bounty
of a shilling a head for their de-
struction. Last year this bounty was
paid upon $50 cormorants. The kill
ing off of these birds in the south
ern island is chiefly for the protec-
tion of the rainbow trout introduced
there from the United States, and of
the sockeye salmon, introduced from
Canada.-Forest and Stream.

LOCKED BURGLAR IN.

Broke Panels and Escaped at Dwight
Spencer's, South Manchester.
South Manchester. Dec There was
a bold robbery last evening about 7:30
o'clock at the residence of Mr. and Mrs
Dwight Spencer of North Main street.
Mr. and Mrs Spencer had left the house
and were attending services in one of
the churches nearby. Frank Spencer,
a son, who lives in house IN the VI,
cinity and keeps the COW in stable
near his fathers home, was passing
the house when he saw it was lighted
and thought it was strange, knowing
his parents to be regular church at
PENDANTS. Upon close examination he
saw strange man inside, going
through the drawers of q sideboard in
the dining room. He went quietly in
side, but his approach was noticed by
the robber, who hastily took flight,
seeking refuge in what proved to be a
closet. The key to the door of the
closet was on the outside and Spencer
turned it and locked the man Inside.
Having seen Officer Sheridan, who
lives nearby and had gone into his
house to put on his rubber coat, he ran
across the road TO the officers house
and told him he had robber in the
closet. He was gone but a very short
time, but during that time the robber
broke the panels of the door and es-
capped. When Spencer and the officer
returned the robber had flown. The
man is described az being of medium
height with red.whiskers and present
ing a. slouchy appearance. 1t is thought
that nothing more than some silver
knives, forks and spoons were taken.

EXPLOSION IN PLUMBING SHOP.
Lead Pipe Burst and the Windows
Flew Into the Street

An explosion occurred at NJ. j.
Donnelly's plumbing shop on Union
street shortly before 10 O'Clock this
morning which created a big sensa-
ton, did considerable damage TO the
building, but fortunately didn't
amount to anything worth mentioning
in other respects, nobody being seri-
ously injured, although it will take
those who were in the place and some
of the neighbors some time to recover
from the shock. Thomas Murphy was
bending a piece of lead pipe, which
was filed with resin and plugged at
both ends, when it exploded making a
report that was heard a long way
from the scene The two front win
dows were shattered to pieces and the
Shivering of the glass made such a
noise people thought the building was
coming down. Murphy escaped with
out scratch, but fellow workman
named Fisher, who was some distance
away at the time, was struck in the
face with resin and had his eyebrows
singed and portions Of his face slight
~ burned. but not badly enough to pre-
vent him from working.
The proprietor suffered much from
fright, but after he learned what had
happened and saw that no one was
hurt. he took a philosophic view of the
matter and Immediately set to work
putting in new windows. He was in
the Office working on the books when
the explosion took place and came near
being pitched off the stool by the con-
cussion. The pipe was only three
eighths of an inch in size, but it could
not have created more confusion if it

sLEIGHs NOT WANTED YET.
Snow Fell Thick and Fast for a Time
Last Night.

Last Night.
Sleighs with almost a years dust on
them were being hauled about the
streets to-day, attached to wagons.
Evidently the owners expected that
they would have an opportunity to use
them tomorrow, but 1t looks now as
1T they will have to go on wheels a lit
tie longer. The snow sQuau of last
night and the frost that set in after it
ceased made walking unpleasant for
man and beast until the sun got
chance to thaw and loosen things up,
and then everything and everybody
went along as usual. Horses had a
hard time to keep on their feet this
morning and a few of them came down
on the smooth pavement on North and
West Main streets. If it freezes to-
night the situation will be worse to-
morrow and -she driver that ventures
out without having his horse snarpened
will find himself in a peck of trouble
The blaeksmiths are wreathed in
smiles. and no wonder, for they see in
the coming slippery weather an oppor-
tunity to make a small fortune be-
tween now and next spring. 1t is diff
ferent with the property owners. many
of whom had their first experience this
season in the business of shOveling
snow. The city government should in
augurate some changes on this side
walk question. Tt is hard to see the
Justice of compelling the city to pay
damages for accidents that happen
upcn slippery wealks. When it rains
in the evening and freezes during the
night The walks, good and bad. as they
haDpen to be, are very dangerous, and
1T requires great care to travel over
them without getting hurt. This is .
condition that cannot be remediad and
the city should not be liable unless
there is ditch or some other trap in
the way. Property owners should not
be. expected to remain up all night
watching their sidewalks, and the
street department. cannot sand all the
crossings in the city on time to suit
everybody's convenience. The side
walks and the streets are the property
of the city, and there should he no
more liability to the corporation for ac-
cidents on one than on the other.

PROVISIONAL RESOLUTIONS.
An Appeal viii Be Made to National
Civic Federation.

Shamokin, Pa, March 25.-The reso-
luton presented at Sundays session
of the convention of the United Mine
Workers Of American by the special
co nmittee appointed on Saturday con
iained a provisional strike declaration
and was unanimously adopted.
After its adoption President Mitchell
made a statement explanatory of the
resolution. 1t recites the grievances
of anthracite mine workers; calls at
tention to the wage scale unanimously
adopted by the convention, the main
features of which are: A shorter work
day and uniform increase in wages,
declares mine workers cannot con-
tinue at work during the coming year,
under the present low wages and in
definite conditions of employment, and
provides for a general suspension Of
work to take effect upon a date to be
designated by the executive boards
of districts l, Z and Q.
1t provides, however, that before re-
sorting to a strike an appeal be made
to the executive committee of the in
dustrial department of the National
Civic Federation. Should this action
fail prior to April l and after that date
negotiations are still pending, all an
thracite mine workers, except those
necessary to keep the mines in re-
pair, are to remain away from the
mines, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays of each week.
Commenting on the action OF the
convention President Mitchell said:
4 am free to confess a strike is immi.
nent."
Unless the efforts of the Civic Fed
Grafton are effective with the coal op
orators it is more than likely that Q
repetition of the struggle of 1900 will
occur in the anthracite region. In that
year 140 600 employees of the anthra
cite mines were on strike for sly
weeks. Before the completion of the
draft Of the resolution, President Nit
chell telegraphed the presidents o.
the coal carrying roads making las
appeal for a conference. He received
several replies all of which refused t
meet the representatives of the union
The other presidents made no res
ponse. The purpose of the suspend
ing of work at the mines three day
in each week after April l, if negotia
tions are then pending, is to preven
storage of coal by the companies bl
producing an amount sufficient onll
to supply the existing needs Of tn
market.

Steyn and Schalk-Burger, giving tnem
a detailed account of the situation.
One of these agents ought to have
arrived about this time. Documents
lately received from Schalk-Burger in
dicated that peace terms had been
recently discussed by the leaders in
South Africa. but the leaders declared
they could not acceptanything less than
the terms demanded at Middleburg
by General Botha, February 2S, 1901,
and especially the point of complete
amnesty for Cape rebels, because the
greater part Of the commanders act
ually in arms are composed of Cape
insurgents.
"The fact that the Beers in the field
are inclined to compromise their de-
mands Tor absolute independence, "
continued the speaker, seems to bein
dicated by the plan Schalk-Burger has
outlined. for the government Of indust-
rial centers. This consists OF a
British board of administration with
proportional Boer representation"
