CRUISERS SETTLE
FISHERMEN'S WAR

From French Stations.
MISLED BY THE TREATY
Bloodshed Averted, But Worst Features
of Old Dispute Are Revived.
Smuggling in Bait.

ST. JOHNS. July 30.-Although the re-
Gently negotiated Anglo-French conven-
ton is designed 10 settle the French
shore question, the lapse of time before
its ratification can be effected IS breed
ing a lot of discomfort.
Believing from the speeches in the CO.
lonial legislature and dispatches in the
press that the arrangement was an ac-
complished fact, the Newfoundland fish
ermen invaded the French stations on
the coast and occupied them. When the
Frenchmen arrived and demanded these
places as heretofore, warships had 70
eject the interlopers.
This revived the worst feature O. the
old-time dispute-the dragooning or our
fishermen-and has provoked such strife
that the entire British and French
squadrOns. REINFORCED by Admiral
Douglass. in the Ariadne, the British
flagship on the North American station,
have been compelled 10 visit the coast
in order TO preserve peace.
The difficulty Is peculiarly unpleasant
at this juncture, because the compact
IS now before the French senate for
ratification, and it is feared that this
incident may interfere with its pros
poets Of success.
Thus far bloodshed has been averted
here through the efforts Of the cooler
headed hsheTfOlk. inasmuch as they now
recognize that they have no legal status,
but the bitterness Of feeling is intense,
especially as the French at St Pierre.

Maryland Seems to Have
No C.. G. O. Securities
Governor Warfield Fails to Find Evidence OF
Ownership or Debt in Examination OF
States Strong Box

He at once instructed the secretary Of
state. who. by virtue of his office, is
also secretary Of the State board Of
public works, 10 inaugurate a diigent
inquiry and ascertain, if possible, where
the evidence of the States holdings can
be found. The absence of these dOcu-
ments, however, is not regarded with
any degree of alarm, as the proceedings
of the State board OF public works for
many years back have been kept at An
Eapolis, and these, when searched, will
undoubtedly, it is thought, reveal the
whereabouts OF the missing certificates.
What Goidsborough Says.
Phillips Lee Goldsborough. who was
comptroller during Governor Lowndes'
term of office said last night:
Il have no recollection of having seen
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal stock.
IL might have been in the box or il may
rot have been. The examination Of the
State securities made by the legislative
committee was found 10 be all right
The general impression is that If
there was ever any evidence Of debt
against the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
held by the State it was probably de-
strOyed under the joint resolution passed
In 1892 by the Legislature, which author
lied the State treasurer 10 strike from
his books old and worthless accounts.

LIGHTNING BOLT STARTS
EXCITING CHICKEN FIGHT
Knocks Down Partition in Coop Between
Feathered Rivals and War to
Death Follows.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 30.-When
Frank \. Flagg went out to feed his
poultry, in Willimantic. he found an
old cock perched on the carcass OF a
young and once promising cOckerel that
he had been training TO fight. The
ROSTERS had been put in a coop with a
partition between them. During the
night lightning struck Flagg's house,
upset all the dishes in the pantry, pro
ceeded thence TO his blacksmith shop
which was turned topsy tuTvy, singed
the bristles off two pigs in a sty. and
entered the hennery. knocking down
the partition, which separated the two
game cocks.
The rc0sters survived the shock and
started a battle for the supremacy OF
the hen yard. Scattered blood and
feathers attested the fierceness Of the
battle.

Plans for Future.

The production OF the Utah copper
mill az Bingham Is soon to be doubled.
This does not mean the plant Is to be
enlarged right away; however such a
move is in contemplation and Will be
carried out before the end of the year,
Since the mill at Bingham was
started It has never been run up to
the full capacity of It's present equip
ment Only about 800 tons have been
run through, whereas twice this much
could have been handled. Supt. jan,
ney explained this morning that the
small tonnage handled was due mainly
to the fact that the mine had not been
developed where the ore could be
stopped out in great quantities and fur
Their for the reason that the late acct
dents on the Copper Belt railroad
placed It In the position where
II could not have made the deliveries.
But the developments In the mine
have been carried forward energetically
and so far as the future Is concerned a
generous supply OF ore will never be
lacking; that 1t is up to the Copper
Belt 10 get the ore down to the mill to
keep 1t running up 10 its full capacity
continuously.

suits are being obtained OF the plant
