 Among the various causes for the decline of the whaling industry we find low profits; decline in the price of oil due to discovery of coal mines; the discovery of gold, creating new field of adventures; the financial crisis of 1857: over-supply of the market; and the ice of the Arctic regions, on ac- count of which the Arctic fleet of thir- ty-four vessels were abandoned in the ice-pack in 1871. Scurvy, wrecks, fires, were other contributory reasons.
 The most extraordinary voyage was made by the Envoy of New Bedford, condemned ship which was refused insurance by the underwriters, which in one year obtained a gross amount of $500 barrels of oil, and of bone 75,- GOO pounds. Summing up, then, the entire result of the voyage it was found she had brought in s13s,450. including her own estimated value at San Fran cisco where she was sold. She was fitted at about $S.000

Leavenworth, Kan, July 25.-While

Hutchinson. Kan, July 25.-Is it a
fact that stockings are an impeachment
10 swimming? Many young women
enjoy plunges in the swimming pool
here who say they are. Some of these
insist that they can not swim properly
if they wear hose, and so this subject
has caused several families to spill the

cussions of bathing apparel for young
women. Several mothers have ruled
that their daughters shall not attend
swimming parties sans stockings.
Others say the sensible thing is to go
barefooted.
Hutchinson papers report that ex-
ponents of both sides of the question
may be seen in the swimming pools.

Following conference between

railroad committee of the East Or

flee today, it was learned that negoti-
atoms will be reopened with the Lack
awanna railroad for the elimination
of railroad death-traps in the city.
A formal letter will be sent to the
railroad heads by the East Orang.
officials suggesting compromise of
the differences between the city and
the corporation.
The new plan will provide for par
tial depression and elevation of d
part of the steam road. The COM
munication will follow the lines OF
recent legislation as provided in the
Fielder railroad bill, and the officials
are expected to come to some equit-
able understanding in a short time.
East Orange has taken an insist
emit stand in favor of entire depres-
sion of the tracks, while the railroad
people favored elevation as the only
solution of the problem. The settle
ment of the controversy will be hailed
with delight by the several munici-
palities which run west of East Or
ange, as the Lackawanna concern
had to solve the problem here first
before taking up the question with
the other places.
The presence of surveyors for the
past few weeks along the railroad
line has indicated the possibility of
an early end to the differences that
have stopped the improvement.
