439LB. STURGEON.
Catch in a Norfolk River.

Mr.. James Smart, of Norway House, We'll
ney, near Downham Market, Norfolk, fishing
in the River DELPHI at Nelney Washes, near
Littleport, on Monday, caught u sturgeon
weighing 31st. 5lb. 1t was 9ft. Gin. long
and its girth was SIT.
The fish was caught on a hook; five men
were Necessary to land it. and it was killed
by having swan shot fired into its gills,
1t was sold for e6, and would, it is esti-
mated, prove a meal for nearly 1,C0O per-
sons.
One Of the largest sturgeon ever caught
in English waters weighed 46Olb. They
pass the greater part of the year in the sea,
but periodically ascend large rivers. Some
varieties attain q great age-200 years is
the estimate of one professor and speci-
mems measuring from SIT. to lift. n length
are by no means scarce in Southern Rassia
and North America, where they are more
frequently caught than in England.
Edward IL. made the sturgeon aroyal fish,
aud whenever one is captured III the Thames
it becomes the property Of the Crown. Its
flesh is held in some estimation. In olden
English days it was always reserved for the
table of the King.
The chief characteristic of the sturgeon
is that along its body run five rows of
t%1attened bony plates, each plate being mark
ed with slight grooves in q radiatin9 fashion
and having a pointed and partly conical
spine on each plate. The air bladder of the
sturgeon is rich in isinglass and caviare is
prepared from the roe -I6ad.

THE DANGERS OF LOBBYING.

We need not point out that such charges
are not to be readily accepted, as they come
from Il protested Wroug-doer, and only the
strongest possible confirmation from other
sources can make some of them credible.
The National Association Of Mlnufacturers
assert that Mulhall was discharged from
their employ for cause, that many Of the
things he mentions relate to dates after that
discharge, and that others are absolutely
falsehoods. Il is we'll known that this As
ISOLATION has worked actively to oppose GER
tain legislation relating to la5our, and par
ticularly relating to questions Of injunctions
and boycott. The Association claims that
their opponents in these matters have kept
an active and insidious lobby at work at
Washington, and that what it has itself lone
has not been secret, but has been carried on
to disclose to the public the nature of pro
posed laws which were, ia their Judgment,
distinctly opposed to oil public interests.
1t is perfectly clear that there is much that
can be lone III this direction which is per-
fectIy proper and perfectly fair fighting.
The word elobbying" has acquired a sinister
meaning yet Wendell Philips once said Of
Whittier that he was a superb hand at lob
bying but of course he worked only for a
Cuuse he conscientiously advocated. How
to draw the line, however, between right
advocacy and that lobbying which is insidious
and unfair is indeed difficult. It has been
suggested that one practical measure would
be the registration of ali paid agents of iu-
terests or associations which are trying to
influence Il legislation. How 1nscrupulous
men can abuse the habitual secrecy of lob
bying was seen last week in the disclosures
of David Lamar, who boosted that he had
falsely posed as several congressman. In
view of the recent charges and counter
charges, certainly ething should be done
to bring the whole question of the exercise
of influence on Congress into open view

THE LOBBYING SCANDAL.

The Investigation by a committee Of the
United States Senate into President Will
sons statement that lobbying of an 'industri-
Gus and iusidious" kind has been going on
iii connection with the tariff has produced
more than one sensational series Of charges.
1T is evident that there should be some
clearer definition by Congress, and in the
public nina, between that sort of attempt
to influence members Of CONGRESS i'll legis-
lation which IS perfectly legitimate, and
that variety Of 'lob5ying" which is improper.
One Senator in the present inve8ti CATION
went so far as to stigmatiz8 AS undue in
fuence the effort Of the President to place
before members his views us to what is
right as regards the tarGff, aud how his
party should carry out its pledges. Az the
other extreme, assertions have been made
which incIu Q actual liberty. Between
these two extremes ull sorts Of ~f4ttery, So
cial prestige, and unfair presentation of
facts and statistics have been declared to
prevail. Last week the publication Of the
charges nude by Colonel Martin VI. MGIhall
aud The response made by officers Of the
National Association Of Manufacturers have
ut least made it obvious that the matter
should be prCbed to the bottom, and a COM
mittee OF the lower house win probably be
appointed for that pun pose. Colonel Null
hail gave to u New York newspaper, the
oWorld," a long and detailed story OF
wron9-doing in which he says that he acted
as the agent Of the Association referred
to. 1t is said TINT the atement was sold
to the newspaper for q large sum and that
it will be supported by many letters. The
charges are SO definite as to assert that
members Of both branches of Congress, who
are named, actually accepted money consid-
erotions for exerc ising their Influence over
The committees Of Congress which have ln-
bour questions in charge. An attempt to
purchase Samuel Gompers, head Of the
American Federation Of Labonr, IS described.
Apart from actual corruption and expeudl-
ture Of money, MuIhall asserts That the AS
ISOLATION was able to exercise undue infa-
euce through "businass, political or svmps-
thetic reasons" on officers Of the Govern
ment, including, he SAYS, even President
Taft. = Outlooh, JaJy I'm

MADMAN AT ASCOT.
Race Stopped WITH A Revolver.
Horse And Jockey Brought Down.

The race for the Gold Cup at Ascot on
Thursday was marred By an Incident similar
to that which occurred at the Derby a fort
night previously.
just as Miss Dawson rushed at The Kings
horse Anmer at EPSON, SO u man ran o. the
course at Ascot. Iracery, the second fa-
v%ourite, was lending aud fell upon HIM as Ire
stood shouting wildly with an ld-fashione4
pistol loaded i'll six chambers IN one hand
and a Snffragette flag IN the other. Tho
other horses miraculously cleared Trocery aud
Whalley, the oyerthrown Jockey. The lntru-
der was kicked on the head.
The man was taken to the Royal Victoria
Nursing Home, Ascot, in a critical conditions.
His name is Harold Hewitt, eldest son of tie
late Mr.. Charles Archibald Hewitt, j. r.,
deputy lieutenant of Hefefordshire, who
died two years ago. The Jockey WAS unin-
jured.
Documents found on Mr.. Hewitt Indicate
that beyond being influenced by the manner
Of Miss Dnvison's death his act WAS unco0-
nected with the women's movement. In bis
diary he had written, ju-t before the race:
eff [ fail in my intention to stop the G"ld
Cup [ hope [ shall not hurt any Of the joe
keys. Oh, the Wearin6ss of these races and
the crowds they attract. They bring out all
that is worst i'll humanity"
According to Mr., Fred Coombs, OF EvB-
road, TotteDham, the horses We're just conn
ing over the slight hill and were two hun
bred yards away when a man looking abuat
forty, tall, Of bulky figure, wearing q light
Norfolk-iacket suit and a knapsack, scranl-
bIed out from the bushes.
"He had a green Sufffagette flag in one
hand and a long pistol III the other. He
stood there with his arms wide out waiting
for the horses. Tracey had the lead by
about a length, I suppose, with Wha'ley OLE
his back. The horse caught the man witl3
his chest and sent him flying. Whalley was
pitched clean over the ANIMALS head and fell
on to his own. He seemed to stand on it for
fully ten seconds before be rolled over. He
got up agnIn pretty quickly, but the man
who had tried to murder him .ay still That's
all | saw"
The story was then taken up by Mr.. j.
Carton, Of KnApIiIl, Woking.
''There were very few people about just
here when it actually happened, but a crowd
collected very quickly, They were in a very
ugly temper. They called out when one or
two went to pick the man up, Let HIM die
If he hadn't been hurt, they would have kill
ed him, l do believe. "-Duay Nal3, @Is5
