he landed here the Dolphin proceeded
to the New York Navy Yard, where she
will be fitted out for the use of the

is to consider with tie President the
cases which have been turned over

Thrilling Experience of Fish Warden in
Vermont.


Rutland, August 2.-Fish and Game
Warden A. v. Fisher Of Wells, while
trying to break up a notorious gang of
fish METERS on Lake st. Catherine this
week, had an experience that would
make a Scotland Yard detective turn
pale, The gang of meters have depleted
the stock Of fish in the lake to such an
extent that summer boarders have ceas-
ed to fish to any extent, and Warden
Fisher determined to bring to justice
some Of the law breakers.
Clad as a fisherman he appeared at
South Poultney and secured two young
Welsh suspects to accompany him in
a row boat. He was not without the
material to season the bait properly.
The fish did not bite a hook well and
more expeditions means Of securing
them were discussed The young Welsh
men knew all about dynamite, where to
get it and how it should be used. They
were wise to his game, and two sticks
were soon secured, the party returning
70 the lake.
Lighting the fuse the boys dropped
the explosive into the bottom OF the
boat, and telling the officer to dynamite
his own fish, they plunged into the
water and swan ashore.
Fisher just managed to get the dyna-
mite over the side Of the boat as the
explosion occurred, blowing the light
craft to pieces. He escaped with slight
injuries aud is very reticient about his
experience.

credited with executing Morgan orders did have
much difficulty in supporting both common and

Morgan & Co had formed a money pool to take
care Of the money market over the end of the
year and were themselves financing an important
part OF the bull account. John W. Gates's predic-
ton that Anaconda. would sell at 800 during the
present week is said by his following to be in a
fair way of making good. His prediction Of go was
fulfilled the day It made. and with the
actual and apparent short interest the stock lends
itself readily to manipulation. The reception Of the
stock issue by National Lead was disappoiut-
ing at first, but the Guggenheim brokers' put
much better face or the matter in the afternoon
The cool reception OF the traction merger has
probably made aggressive support necessary in this
case. and has. perhaps. postponed some other COM

In Anaconda is the fact that practically all the
