There have been practically no fresh fish
from the nets in the lower Potomac or in
Chesapeake bay received by the dealers
at the wholesale fish market on the wharf
for a week or more. and the bulk of the
fish on sale is either frozen stock, which
has been in cold storage. or fish coming
by express from a distance. Herring and
Spanish mackerel from Florida were on
sale yesterday. but there were few, II any,
shad in the shipments received in the past
two or three days. Fresh halibut from
Puget sound. state of Washington. could
be had at 12h cents per pound A ship
ment of 1909 pounds from Seattle, brought
to this city in refrigerator cars, was re-
ceived by the dealers yesterday in as good
order az the day they we're taken from the
water. The shipmen was quickly bought up
by market dealers, and will be ON the din

from the river, It Is expected that the Po-
tomac fishermen will next week start to
work, and fish from the Potomac

genarians Of the Senate and a former sena-
tor who is an octogenarian Senator Bacon

to Senator Whyte OF Maryland and former
Senator Davis Of West Virginia, who were
conversing in the rear of the chamber. The
Vice President suggested that Mr.. Pettus,

This was done, and all of them pinned the
roses to their coat lapels and sent back to
the Vice President their thanks for his at
tentiOn.

PUBLIC UTILITY PRINCIPLE.
Its Application to Public Lands Tn
der Leasing system.

From the Springfield Republican.
President ROOseveit's message on the
natural resources Of the country still left
in the public domain is one of the sound
est ard most admirable ne has ever writ
ten It is a plea for the conservation Of
the remaining mineral deposits for the
public good rather than for corporate diyi-
dends under private monopoiistic exploit
tation. He presents uuassailable doctrine.
however socialstic some may regard il, In
saying that "HEneral fuels, like the for
ests and navigabIe streams, should Doe
treated as public utilities
To treat coal and iron lands as public
utilities would mean that they should
never pass under private ownership and
if such policy had been inaugurated in
this country sixty years carrier. there
would be to-day far less agitation over the
dangers Of concentrated wealth and the
power Of gigantic corporations. It is one
Of the most exasperating themes. in ret
respect, upon which ones mind can dwell,
20 consider the manner in which the vast
mineral treasures Of the earth within our
national borders have been allowed TO
slip from the ownership Of the whole peO-
pie into that Of a few individuals, without
the slightest compensation worthy of the
name. The question now arises whether
what is left of that priceless material
heritage shall also be turned over 20
private monopoly.
The lease system which the President
proposes has been sufficiently tried in
other countries 10 warrant its careful
consideration by our own. Whatever its
defects may be- il has the merit of pre-
serving the ownership where ownership
should always be vested-in the whole
people. or their government The time has
come when the United States must adapt
its policy, in dealing with what remains

New York, Feb. I6.-That gradual hard
ering Of the stock market which has been
Enthusiastically In progress for over two
weeks past was again very noticeable in
the trading in stocks to-day. The market
though dull during the greater part Of the
half session Of the stock exchange. yet
clearly betrayed the work of strong infiu-
ence making for an advance In prices.
This movement is all the more discerning,
in that it is of a slow and so-caIled creep
ing character.
Had the rise assumed the form of a vio-
lent rush, the almost certain presumption
would have been that it was caused
merely by a frightened retirement of short
contracts which would have left the mar
ket when completed In an exposed state.
But the advance has gone on In way
that indicates that more potent elements
than those Of a retreat the short inter
est in the market are behind It, II must
be said, too, that it has been accompanied
by signs that If they are as yet slight are
still plainly defined OF a better demand
for bonds and strictly investment securi-
ties.
