FISHING Time IN THE PASla
Swimming In Myrlads Near Surface
They Are Shared and speared
by Fillpinos.

Friday morning Fflipinos sharing
cells and other fish in the Pasig near
the old captain of the port building by
the aid Of fish snares caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. 1t was fully ten feet in length.
Both banks of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored in the
stream we're thronged with hundreds
of Filipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that in myri-
ads were swimming near the surface
of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani-
mously in their statement to the ef-
feet that at this time of the year the
bottom of the river gets hot and that
the fish have to leave the depths Of
the stream and flash back and forth
on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have
a great many adherents was to the ef-
feet that at this time every year
there was a change in the character
Of the water. this change acting on
the fish as stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome-
non for many years.-Manila Times.

The young Duchess of Westminster,

recently gave birth to her third child,

story Shows Stephen French Was
Innocent in Bogus Proxy Incident
Which Had Much to Do With
CIeveland's Elevation.

II was in 1882 that the name of
Grover Cleveland first became a
household one throughout the country.
In that year he was elected governor
NJ New York over Charles J. Folger
BY a plurality of nearly two hundred
thousand. Two years later he was
president-elect, his seconi phenome-
nal elective victory resulting directly
from his first, which was due in no
ANAL measure to the famous forged
telegram of 1882.
That telegram cropped up when the
Republican state convention was
gathering to select its gubernatorial
candidate. A desperate struggle was
under way to secure control OF the
convention through its organization
BY the state committee. The friends
of President Arthur were backing his
secretary of the treasury, Mr.. Fol-
ger. for the nomination. At the height
Of the battle Stephen v. French, a
personal friend of the president. ap-
reared before the state committee

titled him to serve in place of Will
liam H. Robertson, collector Of the
port of New York. This proxy de-
termined the control of the conven-
don and assured the nomination Of
Folger.
But Folger had not been nominated
many hours before Collector Robert
con was out with a statement de-
nouncing as a forgery the proxy pre-
sented by Mr.. French. Instantly the
telegram became a powerful issue in
the campaign. helping materially to
defeat Folger. And as for French.

First White Women in China

Almost as speedily, too, there came
mutterings against the two women,
not so much from the merchants as
from the ruling classes, who insisted
to the ships officers that the foreign
DEVILS as the authorities described
the amiable ladies, should be instant
ly deported.
AT once assurances were given the
authorities that the two ladies had no
intention of interfering In any way
with Chinese customs: that they had
simply come to China on a ship Of
their relatives as travellers anxious to
see strange lands.
The explanation did not make the
slightest difference; in fact, the ruling
classes insisted more strongly than
before that the ladies should be de-
ported. At last, the authorities pro
nounced sentence, so to speak. They
sent word to all the native merchants
that unless the two American women
were at once placed on board ship and
kept there, and from off Chinese soil.
until the vessel sailed, an edict would
be issued which would permanently
prohibit any further commercial rela-
tons of any sort with the firm of A.
A. Low & Co.
THE merchants knew that the rul-
ing classes meant what they said;
the officers of the vessel likewise
knew that the authorities were in
dead earnest. and with neither officers
nor merchants anxious to have the
threatened edict issued, the ladies
were at once escorted back to their
quarters aboard ship and kept there
until after the vessel had cleared the
harbor and all danger was past Of
disturbing large commercial relations
that were profitable alike to China
and America.
