Weldon Fish Hatchery.

A representative of the News called

river. near the Weldon Corn Mills,

for fish Matching Mr.. Worth who
has been in charge OF the work for

Der of seasons. received US most cor
daily and explained to us the work
he proposed to do the present season.
He stated that he would have some
four or five camps between Roanoke
Rapids and Halifax, for convenience
in taking the eggs when the season
arrives. Work is being pushed on
the hatchery here, and neat frame
building has been erected to be used
rs commlssary, kitchen and dining
room, while neat little tents dot the
camp here and there. Mr.. Worth
does not have any surplus labor or
hangers on. Every man in camp
must work and earn his pay. The
young men under him do anything
that comes to hand. They chop wood,
saw, build and cook. 1t is the pur-
pose of Mr.. Worth to make this a
permanent fish Matching station.
With this idea in view he has erected
the permanent frame building alluded
to and when the season closes every
thing will be stored in this building

DANGEROUS Doctrine.
Danville Register.

DanVlIle Register.
The President has sought to defend
his course on the isthmus as being in
the interest OF collective civilization.
Senator Teller contends that in this
plea the president commits himself to
a dangerous doctrine, pointing out
that it is just such q doctrine as
Russia must rely upon to justify
her course should she proceed in the
effort to crush Japan. The trouble
in the Far East is seen to relate to
question of policy. No consideration
OF ethics enters into it. For years
Russian statesmen have been look
ing about, planning and laboring in
cessantly for port where she would
not be hampered by ice. 1t was one
thing essential to enable her to en-
gage actively in the worlds business.
She has expended enormous sums of
money in constructing a line OF rail
road to that that port. The 18TH
main canal is hardly so essential to
us. important as we esteem it to be,
as the outlet which Russia seeks to
utilize is to her. Japan is intensely
interested in what Russia is doing.
She views it as a menacea chal-
lenge, a movement which threatens
to blast her most cherished hopes.
With both Russia and Japan it is
matter of policy. Each feels that it
has momentous interests at stake.
No one doubts that Russia prefers
peace and that she has a proper
horror OF war; but having spanned q
continent with a railway, is she to
stop and stand still? The presidents
doctrine relative to the interest of
collective civilization, puts an argu-
ment in her mouth and encourages
her to proceed and crush Japan if
she can.
