CARP Is A NUISANCE.
This imported Fish Plays Havoc With
Our Native Varieties.

This Imported Fish Plays Havoc With
Our Native Varieties.
Another influence that seems to
have a very material effect upon the
bass fishing in Lake Erie Is that OF
the German carp. 1t Is very generally
believed among sportsmen and fisher
men alike that the carp is to our ma.
tive fish as the English sparrow tc
our birds. No one accuses the carp OF
having sufficient enterprise to eat
other fish--even small fry-but II
roots among the spawning beds and
is believed to devour eggs by the mil
lion.
1 have heard this complaint about
Lake Erie. at the St. Clair flats and
along the bays Of Wisconsin, showing
that everywhere in the lake region
the carp is held in the same disrepute,
How much truth there is in the
stories of his spawn eating would be
hard to say, but it is certain that carp
are to DO found by thousands all
about the great lakes. Some of them
are monsters in size and all root
about the banks of bay and bayou and
the bottom of every shallow place.
Many small lakes have been en-.
tered, says a writer in Outing, and
their waters turned from crystal to
mud color by the roofing. There is
no doubt that they disturb spawn
beds and do an immense amount Of
harm, whether they are egg-lovers OF
not.

Eoresta and Rainfall.

An example of the persistence Of
error is the idea that the presence or
absence of forest has an influence on
the amount of rainfall. Some keen
observer long ago detected the fact
that forested regions enjoyed a
heavier rainfall than those not for
ested and jumped to the conclusion
that rainfall was produced by forests,
and that the removal of forests di.
diminished the rainfall. Looking over
the earth he found many treeless des-
ert regions and forthwith instanced
them as frightful examples Of mems
wastefulness. Syria, northern Africa,
parts Of Italy are often quoted as
illustrations of mans destruction Of
climate. In reply man can certainly
plead not guilty. The geography Of
this Mediterranean region, the con.
fguration of land and water and the
direction Of the prevailing winds are
such as to give it light rainfall
forests or no forests. The situation
is really this: Want of rain prevents
the growth of trees; want Of trees
does not prevent rain.

SECRETARY SHAW EXPLAINS.
His Statement Was Misconstrued In
Some Quarters.

Some Quarters.
New York, Oct. 1.-Secretary shaw
gave out the following statemen, yes
terday:
THE department Is in receipts Of
large number OF requests from various
banks In the country, clearly showing
that the statement given out last night
was misunderstood. or rather that 1t
was not carefully read. That there
may be no misunderstanding the Sol
lowing statement Is made:
mo new deposits will be made N
any security other than government
bonds so long as the government bonds
can be secured. For the present
banks seem to be able to obtair fire..
quently by borrowing, bonds other
than 9 per cent consols. They can OBJ
tain the Csc OF these bonds for lin
tied period. and they are as desirable
as any for security for deposits. They
| are not MS desirable as security for
circulation. for the reason that cir.
culation based thereon Is taxable ct l
| per cent while circulation based on the
3 per cent consols Is taxable at only
one-half of l per cent. The banks can.
not obtain except by purchase any
bonds as a basis for circulation. be.
cause when deposited for circulation
they cannot be released until the cir.
culation Is retired, and it may take a
| year before their circulation can ba
retired, and the price Of bonds is SO
high that bank circulation is maintain.
ed at considerable loss to the banks.
Therefore. the department has decid.
ed to release, for such banks as have
deposits and are not maintaining their
limit Of circulation, a portion Of the
bonds now held by the government,
taking in lieu thereof other satisfac,
tory security, on condition always that
the bonds released will be used for the
immediate issue of additional circula,
tion. This provision does not apply
| to those hanks that already have their
maximum circulation, neither does it
apply to banks that do not have any
deposits. The sole purpose of the Of,
fer Is to Increase circulation that is
already printed and ready to be issued,
and by banks that already have the
bonds on deposit. These deposits be.
ing scattered throughout the entire
country, the relief offered. it Is be,
lieved, will be national rather than
local, for it applies to all sections OF
the country, and to every state in the
| union"

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
9ird s. coier of Brooklyn, Nominated
for Governor.

Saratoga, N. Y, Oct. "A conven.
ton SO exciting in the final hours as
to bring almost personal conflict, and
yet terminating in such perfect har-
mony as to allow the completion Of the
state ticket with less than hundred
delegates out of 450 in the hall, was
the result of yesterdays closing Of the
democratic state convention.
1t began in the early morning with
a prepared slate of candidates. The
slate was not broken in any particular,
but the right of objection to it was
given to all the delegates except,
when, In the case of one New York
delegate, it was believed to be an in
fringement of the rules under which
the convention was acting.
Naturally a great deal OF tile inter-
est in the convention centered on the
attitude it would take toward the seat
ing Of VIM. S. Devery, former head Of
the police department of New York,
who held a regular certificate Of cleo
ton from the Ninth district
1t was not an unexpected event that
the convention decided to unseat him,
and it was not also unexpected that
he and his followers were vociferous
in their objections. Bird S. Coler of
Brooklyn was nominated for governor,
and platform was adopted calling
for steadfast fidelity to Americal prin-
ciples, for the lack of which it arraigns
the republican party; demands the re-
turn to the principles of Thomas JEFF
ferson to stop the decentralization of
the country; opposes trusts that in
juriously affect consumer and en-
ployer and drive out small manufac-
turers, and especially condemns the
so-called beef and coal trusts for 'un.
reasonably depriving the people of the
necessities of life" Restriction of the
amassing of wealth. is advocated and
the amendment of the tariff law by
placing necessities Of life on the free
list is demanded. The Dingley tariff
law Is condemned as whole. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is accused of not want
ing to offend the trusts. The plat
form asserts that the proposition to
amend the United States constitution
= enable the federal government to
proceed against the trusts is mere
subterfuge to get delay. Public owner
ship Of the anthracite coal mines is
also advocated.

CHAPTER XIV.

Count Leon Sees a Great Light.
Strange sounds, issuing from ket.
tie just before it commences to boil,
give warning that the conjuring Of the
evil spirit within has begun.
So in the case Of the Monte Carlo
conspiracy, as the fated moment drew
near when the plot of the eager royal
lists approached the crisis, there was
an uneasy movement that could be de.
tected in certain circles, as though
those who were connected with the
grand game experienced a nervous
electricity that always appears when
the fate of tremendous project is in
suspense. - @
Count Leon was like grand mar.
shall.
1t was the crisis of his life. ,.
Should success follow his master
stroke, he could count upon great hon
ors under the new emperor OF tae
French.
What dream could be more extern
sive than this, covering as it did
wealth, honor and love?
No doubt some men would have be-
come "rattled' because of the multi
plicity of the duties thrust upon them
Not so Villebois. .
His long life in African wilds,
where dangers in the most astonishing
and unexpected guise waylaid him at
every turn, had emiEently fitted this
man for just such a situation. -.-.
If he failed it would be through no
fault Of his, but because forces of
which he was in utter ignorance had
entered the field. ,%.''a 90
Such as Jones, for instance. ~
How should the fiery Gaul imagine
that this wonderful man. who carried
TIE future of Monte Carlo in the hol-
lev of his hal, and had already twice
broken the famous bank--how should
he dream that this Jones was any
thing but what he represented himself
to be, shrewd Yankee tourist In
great luck. ...,.s...,-s H.. w..
Count Leon believed he had the
magazine in condition for exploding,
Tie train well laid, and that the slow
catch had already been ignited.
The very boldress Of his stroke
would paralize all fair France. When
the news reached Paris that the presi.
dent had been kidnapped and that
Duke OF Orleans was already over the
border at the head Of an army, the old
roya.ist spirit that had been slumber.
ing so long would burst from It's con.
