to settle the various questions in dis.

the branch unions are disappointed at
the compromise and declare that they
will continue the strike. Among them
is the typographical union. This
means that there will probably be a
serious split between the Danish labor
unions, and a continuation of trouble

Not for many years has the price of

Devotees to the famous "cure" at the
Carlsbad Springs. whose number is legion
in almost every cline of the civilized
world. will be greatly interested, it is
claimed. in the improvement this year in
the renowned Mill spring. For several
seasons the flow from this and other
springs has been diminishing perceptibly,
due to the gradual accumulation of
stones. which by degrees block up the
little arteries through which the warm
mineral waters issue from the virgin
rock. and the. "cure administration" was
finally obliged to decide to have some OF
the springs reset in order to afford suffi-
Client accommodation for the large crowds
which throng about the outlets, especially
in the morning hours.
Work of this character was begun on
the Mil spring last October. and already
astonishing results have been noted. The
Investigations during the past week alone
laid bare very interesting geological
formation, beginning behind the Mill
spring rotunda and slOping under the
collonade. and continuing over the source
OF the Mill spring far as the Tapl.
The opening of the Mill spring was shown
to extend over the principal fissure in
the system. and all the neighboring out
lets were condensed into 1t. In following
up and inclosing the chief assure 1t was
discovered that a very strong and hot
mineral spring is being forced out which
Is almost too powerful to be controlled.

of the approaching season when they will
be able to cast their lines for perch. rock,
bass and other spring fish. Some Of the
more enthusiastic anglers are already
purchasing their supplies of tackle and
few Of them have already wet their
lines. One day last week a Mississippi
catfish weighing more than twelve pounds
was caught from a landing in George
town. and last Sunday q number Of
anglers were congregated at points on
the river above Georgetown, catching
number Of catfish.
Fishermen who handle nets along the
lower Potomac anticipate an early run
Of fish this season Many fine white
and yellow perch have already been
caught in the small nets. and the larger
nets are being made ready for the coming
season. Anglers expect a new field for
their sport this season. the new electric
road making 1t possible for them to reach
the vicinity of Annapolis, where, 1t is
stated, there is usually good fishing. In
the vicinity OF Annapolis there is both
fresh and salt water fishing.
The question of bait Is a serious prob
lem with the anglers who enjoy early
perch fishing, soft crabs making the best
bait for the large fish. This bait is usu-
ally scarce and expensive at the time 1t is
in greatest demand, and many content
themselves with the use Of cut smelt and
worms. Bloodworms are considered the
best bait for rock, and they are said to
also be good bait for the larger perch.
They are shipped here from New York,
none of them being found In the earth in
