THE SEIZURE OF
AMERICAN
VESSELS :
Fishing Interests Seriously Affect
ed by Action of the MeXi-
can Government.

The following article, relative to
the seizure of American fishing yes
sells. appeared in the last issue OF
The Fishing Gazette, published in
New York:
Advices have been received from
PrOgTeSsO, Mexico, of the seizure by
the Mexican government of the fish
ing schooners D. L. Traitor, of mo
bile, Ala; the Stearns, of Pensacola,
Fla, and the Lizzie B. Adams, of
Galveston. The TraftOn is owned by
the Mobile Fish and Oyster Co, the
adams by the Gulf Fisheries Co. The
Stearns was owned by the Warren
Fish Co., of Pensacola. -
In a recent interview Col. , A.
s. Lyon, president Of the Mobile Fish
and Oyster Co.. said the only way in
which he can account for the seizure
is that the Mexican government, be-
iIeving that it has jurisdiction over
the Campeche banks, seized the Traf-
ton and Stearns and towed them into
Erogresso. Col. Lyons also stated
that he had wired the American con-
sui at ProgresSO for particulars, and
stated that unless a satisfactory eX-
PLANTATION was given he would ask the
washington authorities to intercede.
The fishing interests are seriously'af-
fected by the action of the Mexican
government, as Campeche banks are
the most profitable fishing grounds OF
the Mobile and Pensacola companies
which maintain large fleets in the
catching Of the red snapper. They
have been fishing on the banksffor
years, and have never before been
molested by the Mexican or any
other government. The seizure is be-
Eevad to be the result Of a report of
the Mexican vice consul at Pensacola
who opposed the bringing of fish from
Mexican waters to the States. The
industries affected are among the
largest in the south, ana the question
promises to broaden into an inter-
national one.
Capt. Mum, president of the Gulf
Fisheries Co., Of Galveston, Texas
when interviewed on the subject said
he had received a telegram stating
that the fishing smack Lizzie B.
Adams had been captured by a Mex
lean gunboat off the Campeche banks.
The boat was taken, as were several
others in connection with the contro-
varsy Of the fishing right of the Cam
psche banks.
Capt. Mum stated that he could
not say what action would be taken
until he received further details. He
also stated that the Gulf fisheries feet
usually anchored so miles off the
Mexican coast, and that the Lizzie b.
Adams was in that position when TAX
en- into tow by the Mexican gunboat.
The master of the Sch. Alvah, be-
longing to the same company, re-
ports that his boat was held up and
inspected by an officer from Mexi-
can gunboat in open sea. No explain
alton was offered by the MeX,cans.

DEEP-SEA FlSHlNG-BANKS.
Where the People Of New York City
Get an Occasional Taste

Every day through the spring and
Summer and autumn, and almost every
day in winter, boat leaves one of the
East river piers bound for the deep
sea fishingbands, writes Bertha H.
Smith, in Four-Track News. Every
passenger on board isof thattrue democ-
lacy, the democracy of the rod and
reel. Not death itself is more of a
common leveser than the fishing rod,
aud who crosses the gang-plank of this

ton behind.

DAY on his hands. the mechanic thrown
into idleness by strike, the invalid
who finds the city irksome and longs
for a sniff of the sea, old men, young
boys and all ages and stages of man
kind between, may be seen in the
stream of people that dribbles along
the pier while the sun is yet lodging
behind the Brooklyn housetops. The
man who would go deep-sea fishing
must be up betimes, for it is a gooi

thought it would bring back old recol-

The planter gave us fine luncheon
of fried chicken a4d corn pone, and
cider, and pa acted as the boss of the
circus folks, while the planter and his
family, with about 100 negroes, passed
things around. They all seemed to be
interested in seeing how much stuff

without putting UP sideboards to keep
the food from falling off. If pa hadn't

got acquainted with boy that was
the planters son, and while the rest
were eating and drinking the boy
showed me a pack of hounds that are
kept for trailing criminals and negroes
who have looked sassy at white wom-
en-. The trouble with negroes Is that
they all look alike, and if one COM
mits a crime they can prove an alibi,
cause every last negro will swear that
at the time the crime was committed
the suspected man was attending
prayer meeting, so they have to have
hounds that can be taken to the place
where the crime was committed and
they find the negro's track, and they
follow 1t till they tree him. The
hounds do not bite the negro. like we
used to hear about, but they just fol-
low him till he is freed, and then they
bark, as much as to say: "Ah. there,
Mr. Niger, you just stay where you
are till the sheriff comes to fetch
you" and Mr.. Negro just turns pale
handful of anise seed around the sole,
and he stays on a limb till the
sheriff comes with his lynching tools
When the sheriff pulls gun the
negro confesses right there, and the
deputy sheriff brings the rope.
asked the boy if the hounds would
trail white man without hurting
him. and he said if you put anise seed

folks, and l told pa L had seen pack
of bloodhounds that would eat people
alive, and if he heard hounds barking
to run like a whitehead and climb a
tree. I got with the giant, who is
d coward in his own right, and told
him the only trouble about these
great plantations in the south was the
wild dogs that inhabited the noun
tains, that would not hesitate to attack
man if they got good and hungry,
but there was no danger to him, be-
cause he was a good Splinter, and
could Outrun jack rabbit The giant
wanted to go back to the house, cause

sign to beware of the dogs.

the fat woman looks as though she
was built a purpose for apoplexy,
but told her, as friend, not to
load herself down with nuts, but to
travel light, SO if the wild dogs came
down to raid the plantation she could
crawl IN hole out of sight till the
dogs had eaten some of the men. She
came near fainting right there, before
the dogs got busy.

ing clubs at the nuts, and everybody

performers were squiIreling up among
the limbs, when suddenly; in the dis
lance, came the bay Of the pack OF
bioodhounds, and every negro turned
gale, and got ready to climb a tree.
The planter stopped to listen, and when
enc of the managers of the show asked
him what was the matter, he said:
You can search me, sab. II that Is
r.y pack of hounds, crime nas been
committed, and the sheriff has start
ed the pack on the trail of the GRIM
inal, sab, because the dogs are never
turned loose, except for business"
Then the planter yelled to the mig
gers, and said: eff any of youall are
guilty of crime, you best get scarce, or
pick out your tree. and get UP it
mighty sudden, cause the hounds
haven't been fed lately" Every coli
ored man picked a tree, and the
hounds kept coming, finally showing
up camping the fence, and entering the
woods, and the planter cut a club to
beat OFF the dogs. Pa looked as inno-
cent as John Wanamaker's picture
addressing Sunday school. TIE giant
saw the dogs and started for tall
tree, and the fat lady said she couldn't
find any hole big enough to hide in,
and ''the idea," if there were not men
enough to protect lady.
Well, never expect to see anything
so fine as tho way those hounds run
with their noses to the ground, scat

trail of each Of the three whose shoes

woods he would put the hounds on
the trail, and the people would have
to get up trees, or have their pants
cnewed, but the dogs would not hurt
anybody.
Well, it made me laugh to think
about it. I went to pa, and told him
his shoes were all covered with red
Virginia dust, and / took my hand
kerchief and busted them off, and
made him hold up his foot like horse
that is being shod. Then l put a

dust off his shoes, and put two hand

woman about the dust on her tele-

About this time the planter took the

COYOTES ARE PLENTIFUL.
Stockmen Of Eastern Oregon Again
Annoyed by the Destruc-
tive Pest.

For the first time in sCnce years
Oregon plains this year. Once al
most driven out by the determined
efforts of the stockmen and the Co
operation of state and county gov.
ernments they are causing trouble
on the sheep ranges.
Several years ago the state placed
bounty on their heads and many
eastern Oregon counties offered an
additional sum for scalps presented
to the county clerk. The sheepmen
organized big coyote hunts and the
animals were all but driven OUT
For time it was rare thing to see
band and this made the sheepmen
careless.
This year finds them again very
abundant and they are attacking
sheep and even worrying droves OF
cattle. Coyotes have systematic
way of rounding up bunch of sheep
and then keeping them moving con-
tinually. Many thus die of exhaus-
ton, although only few are eaten.
Stocl1men are beginning to resort
to their old ways of Kidding the coun
try of coyotes. The state bounty
law is yet in force and the sheepmen
will organize coyote hunts.
The Oregon bounty law has been a
source of great abuse and the state
has been robbed of many hundreds
of dollars. About three years ago a
scheme was discovered by which
coyote scalps had been shipped into
this state for months from Idaho,
where there is no bounty, and the
regular fee collected.
