New Food Fish-In The latest report
issued by the u. S. commissioner of
fish ard fisheries. attention is called
to the presence OF the New England
coast OF an apparently inexhaustible
supply of food fishes that have never
been taken for the market. They are
known as tie tile fish. ard have been
mentioned m earlier reports of the
fisheries bureau. Fishermen and the
public have been slow to look into the
possibilities of the tile fish. the reason
assigned b. the commissioner being
that the flesh of the fish is not so in
viting in appearance as that Of cod.
and therefore that so long as cod are
moderately plenty no one will take the
trouble to introduce the new food fish.
The fisheries bureau has made several
experiments with the fish, and find
them EASY to take. palata3fe.. nutritri-

collectors and inspectors of steam ves-
sells i'm relation to the overcrowding
OF steamers. in which. he says: THE
near approach OF the summer season,
when large numbers of passengers are
carried on steamers Of the regular
lines and on excursion steamers. and
the frequent complaints that many OF
these steamers carry passengers large

their certificate Of inspection. OF by
their excursion permits. demand that

vent overcrowding OF steamers. Col

subordinates to make careful examin-
alton OF such steamers. and to report
all cases Of violation of the law. Eek.

made on Sundays. and particularly on

Knox for senstor-Just before Atty.
Gen. Knox left Washington a few DAYS
ago he called on the president and
told him he had been rendered the ap-
pointment OF U. 8. senator. to succeed
Mr.. Quay. and that II the president
was willing he world accept. The
president told him that while II was
true that probably no other man I'm tho
country could quite ill the position of
attorney general as he had filed n. vet
ne believed that his services I'm the
senate would be exceptionally vaIua-
bic. not only TO the state OF PennsyI-
vania. but'to the whole country. The
president said that during the next
session or two Of congress IL was a
fair assumption that there would be
considerable constructive legislation
on the subject of trusts and combina-
tons. and In that matter Mr.. Knox
would be OF greater service than per.
haps any other man could be. The
president Is greatly pleased that Mr..
Knox VIII accept the position. The
latter probably will rot resign as at.
torney general until congress con.
venes next December. 4
