Communication on the Fish Question bv a
Well Informed Writer


/ commissions and fishing interests,
There are man complaints against the
methods of fish commissions, and al
though they are trivial and utterly
in the wrong, base influence is 'exer-
eised on u legislatures.
The relations between the sports
man anglers. and the market fisher
men are anything but harmonious.
Each regards his interests as para
mount to those of the others. No con-
sideration is shown by each for the
other. One charges the other with
trying to ruin his business or pas
time. In the controversy fish COM
missions suffer; and as long as such
pickering continues, the work of fish
culture will be hampered.
This lack of harmony is greatly to
be regretted, because both the market
and sporting fishermen confer great
benefits on this State. The financial
returns of the market fishermen are
more readily reckoned than those of
the sportsmen, because more direct;
but should those of the latter be fair
" gathered, the total would be start
ling.
There are several counties in this
State where trout fishing is good n
in many others bass culture could
SO be fostered as to afford the people
of our small towns means of a good
livelihood from visiting sportsmen.
Setting aside the question as to which
bring in the greatest returns, it may
be stated with p~ositiveness that both
interests are essential to the good OF
the State, and it is the duty Of a fish
commission to guard and further both.
There is not the slightest doubt that
a strict enforcement of a law not too
restrictive or the faithful compliance
with it on the part of fishermen, to-
oo.Lou x-;+I hoory ond n0rCictpnt qTtj-
feal Matching and planting of fish,
will result benefcially to the fishing
interests of our State. The result of
F.! the planting of Rainbow trout in the
Truckee river proves this beyond the
possibility of a dispute.
Fish like the bass are of far great
err consequence than carp and catfish.
Unfortunately, "other things" are not
equal. The element that exclaims
against an appropriation for the right
to replenish our streams with other
imam the common IOOu-nSHeS, oOclll0
! to be strong enough in this State to
check any attempt for an efficient fish
commission. If we continue to yield
until time and educatinon bring about
a better understanding of affairs tc
to the demand of u Legislators who
protest against appropriation for the
advancement of our fishing interests
those whom l should be classed as
Indifferent, the interests of our State
in this connection will not be truly
served. The idea has been advanced
that it is better to so increase the
supply of ..sh by artificial ~progation
than t o expend large sums of money

 Rural Guard.

Rural Guard.
 Havana, July 3o.-In spite of the asser. ton made yesterday by Senor Yero, sec- retary of the interior, that the killing of three men and the capture of a fourth man, their leader, who had attempted to cause an uprising in the vicinity of Bay amo, Province of Santiago. Affectually ended the only semblance of an uprising in Cuba, the rumors of uprisinss in East ern Cuba were fully confirmed to-day in the governments reports received from the governor and other officials of San- tiago province.
 They are to the effect that since the night of Sunday last sixty armed and mounted men have appeared outside will lages in the Cauto river district proclaim. ing a revolution and demanding the pay ment of the former members of the revo. lutionary army. No acts of violence have been reported but the inhabitants oi the Cauto region are excited. The lead. CT of the revolutionary party is named Pupo. He is a brother of one of the bandits killed by the rural guard on Tuesday.
 General Rodriguez. commander in chlel of the rural guards, has ordered the mob flization of all the rural guards in East ern Cuba and the government of San. tiago province has been instructed to en. list as many volunteers as may be deem ed necessary to cooperate with the mounted troops.
 Secretary of the Interior Yero says there is no doubt that the authorities will be able to cope successfully with the sit ustion as all reports. he adds. agree tha, popular sentiment Is with the govern. ment of President Palma. and that these who have risen in rebellion mostly belong to the wanton, lazy class of Puerto Prin cipe. It Is reported that many volunteers are offering their services to the govern ment.

Searching for New Diamond Fields

Searching for New Diamond Fields.
 The fabulous richness of the mines of South Africa induced a number of foreign syndicates to be formed in the past veal for the purpose of discovering new dia- mond fields. German Southwest Africa Is now being prospected by the agents oi a syndicate formed in Bremen, and 1t is | hoped to open up a new region to offset in some measure the great diamond mines 1 in British South Africa. Another ex. plofation company was formed in London | for the purpose of searching for diamonds l in the Serra de Frio Mountains in the | State of Mlnas Geraes but It's success was only slight. ...... f--. '..l. BorTieo Is the hunting ground at present of party of engineers who are looking | for diamond mines. This precious stone
 has long been known to exist in South. l western Borneo. The rajahs of PanembO.
 han possess an immense belt studded with
 diamonds, said to be from that district
 one stone weighing 67 carats. The great
 Borneo diamond of Mattam, said to weigh
 367 carats. Is believed to be from that same region. New diamond fields have | been opened in New South Wales, but | the diamonds. though brilliant and hard, are small. and the Australian yield can not. therefore, become of great impor- tance. A number of diamonds have late ly been found in Siberia. but they were small and of incOnsiderable commercial value.
 h Scientists have been making some ex- periments to determine the action of light on diamonds and other precious stones, in order to assist buyers in settling val ues. The diamonds which emit the most
 brilliant gleams of light are not neces- sarily those that are the most perfectly cut but rather those that fluoresce most markedly in the violet rays of light. Ex- posed to these rays non-fiuorescent dia- monds show simply a violet color, like any ordinary white object, while the fiuo- rescent ones glow with a clear luminous blue. This mode of distinction. being so easy of application. has great practical value in the determination of fine stones. the more so as diamonds of whatever quality present no difference as to trans parency under Roentgen rays. One exper- imenter found to his dismay that fine yellow diamond, after being exposed to a violet artificial light, changed from a golden yellow to a deep brown, an altera- ton that destroyed four-ffths of It's com mercial value. Fortunately, however, 1t recovered it's original color in about twen- ty-four hours.

At Casino Theatre.

Underterred by the wind and rain, a fair sized audience witnessed the vaudi- ville performance at the Pickett Springs Casino last night. Those who braved the weather felt repaid for their risk in the really clever performance. The bill has pleased a crowd every night since 1t was put on. The artists who make the per- formance are meritorious players. There is nothing top heavy about the bill and there are no weak acts for one to endure while waiting for something good. The vaudeville Is frst-cIass from start to finish. All parts of the performance earn and receive applause A goodly por- ton of praise went last night to Herbert Lloyd in an old and funny juggling act
 The two Cottons mystified the audience in nsational mind reading tricks. The comedy act of Misses Webb and Eizer called for several encores as did the baritone singing of Miss Bender. The pantomne comedy act of the Schrodes is well up to the high standard of the bill.

Advance in the Art of Cutting Stones

Advance in the Art of Cutting Stones
 No development in the diamond industry of the past year has been felt to such q marked degree in the United States as the advance in the art of cutting the gems. The fact that larger establish ments have been formed which are able to purchase the rough stones in greater quantities. has placed our American dia- mond cutters in a position quite equal to that held by those of Amsterdam. Ant werp and Paris. cutting of our na- tive gems has also proved to be some thing of an industry. notably in the case of beryl and amethyst. found in North Carolina and Connecticut; the turquoise, from New Mexico, Arizona. Nevada and California; the fine colored and deep blue sapphlFes found in Montana. the colored tourmalines of San Diego. Cal; the gar nets of Arizona and New Mexico. and the pale purple garnets from North Carolina. Of late years there has been a great demand for fine cutting of diamonds. Stones already cut abroad have been re- cut here with sharper angles and a high CT polish. The lentil-shaped stones. the marause. double marquise the heart shaped and the e-brilliant stones are shapes that generally indicate the recut- ting of gems. A patent has recently been granted for a new process of growing | diamonds. these gems. of course. being also polished. and the claim is made that | the grooves insure a greater brillianCH. | The diamonds are sometimes cut with perfectly parallel grooves around a stone having eight, ten, twelve or eighteen sides The growing is also applied to the facets of the briliants, especially in the new forms of cutting in which the pavil- ion of the stone Is entirely replaced by 1 rose-cut facets: and the hollows of the | concave grooves are as bright as the faces.

were a large number of people who were engaged in other business, but on your assurance that the Executive Committee of the Press Association had passed on those applications. and especially on your assurance that you had secured trans portation for them over the lines beyond Evansville. believing that to decline to issue the passes would result In prac- tiLally breaking up the excursion, I re- luctantly issued passes to a large num- Der of those on the list on written requests from them. But in doing all this 1t never occurred to me that anybody would be taken on our train to Evansville who had no transportation whatever.
 From the best information obtainable l am led to believe that 70 per cent. of those who left Birmingham and went to Evansville over our route, were not fur- nished transportation by anybody; that while they claimed to have transportation it was transportation furnished to some body else, whose names were on the list furnished by you. All this was done. not withstanding on every pass there was printed:
 "If presented by any other than the person named herein. the conductor will take up the pass and collect full fare"
 While the conductor possibly did not do his duty in not interrogating each person, I really believe that he had a right to presume that each and every one was the identical person he assumed to be.
 The passes issued by me were to indi- vlduals, and were not Issued so as to enable any one who claimed to repre- sent a paper to travel, but were intended only for the persons named in the pass and only such had right to be on the train.
 You will doubtless remember that ] have been trying to correct this evil since the excursion to the Worlds Fair at Chi cago, and I have appealed to the Press Association to protect itself. as we'll as the railroads against evils of this char. acter. It having failed to do it, I shall hereafter in the issuance of passes, or account of the Press Association, issue only to such as are solely engaged in the newspaper business, and will confine tho issuance of passes to ladies on such oc. casions, to members of the household oi newspaper men who are solely engaged ir newspaper business. This possibly may prevent recurrence of the troubles oi the last and previous excursions of tho Press Association of Alabama.
 It is not my purpose to show any spirit of unfriendliness to the Press Associa. ton of Alabama, but on the other hand to do what I can to aid in building fl up. and to enable 1t to accomplish the great purposes for which 1t was organ. ized.
 What we did in this matter was a pure courtesy. and under no circumstances would we receive compensation therefor notwithstanding it is beyond dispute thai our courtesy was abused in many in stances. Yours truly,
