Prof. de Courtenay is one of the leading literary men of the empire and a recognized authority on Slavonic languages.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-This afternoon the President and Dr. E. Lester Jones, deputy commissioner of the bureau of fisheries, were in conference relative to the duties of Dr. Jones upon his trip of investi- gation to Alaska. He will leave this city for the west on Thursday and has been instructed to make an ex- haustive survey of all fisheries in the territory, and to file report with the secretary of commerce to be used as basis for proposed legislation.
 For many years past an annual war has been waged at the national capital between representatives of the trap and gill net fishing indus tries, each claiming that the other is responsible for the partial destruc- tion of the fishing industry. Repre- sentatives of trap-fishing claim that the prohibition of trap-fishing would amount to a practical confiscation of s20, 100000 worth of property. On the other hand, it is contended that the traps have destroyed the oppor- tunities for gill netters and that hundreds of fishermen thereby have been thrown out of employment Half dozen or more bills affecting the industry have been introduced at each session for several years past but always they have failed of passage.
 Lobbyists representing the gill netters and purse seiners have pointed out that the run of salmon on some streams has been destroyed and have attributed the depletion of these streams to the traps. Repre- sentatives of the trap fishermen have contended that some streams on which traps were installed by the Russians are still the breeding grounds of salmon, and attribute the depletion on other rivers to the establishment of saw mills and other industries. They also contend that the purse seiners and gill netters kill all the fish that comes into their net, while the trap fishermen can liberate any fish that are undersized Tor which they are unable to use
 The Alaskan legislature passed memorial asking Congress to abolish the fish traps after a period of three years had elapsed. Under the law granting territorial government. to Alasla, the legislators were pro- hibited from passing laws affecting the fisheries, but another clause of the same law allowed the territorial government to impose taxes on prop erty. Therefore, a territorial tax on high-grade fish was imposed.
 The whole matter doubtless will be gone over at Washington next winter, and the secretary of com- merce, who must first approve any legislation proposed, will be fortified by the report made by Dr. Jones, who will leave for Alaska on May 2S and remain in the territory for one month.

Furious Storm in Sayreville.
,ec,al to tho EVENING NEwH

SayrevilIe, July 2s.-When a ter
rife hurricane, augmented by nght-
ming and shower of monstrous hall
stones, swept over Sayreville yester-
day afternoon thousands of dollars
damage was caused and the safety
of the inhabitants threatened. Fruit
crops were destroyed, chimneys
blown down, windows smashed, tel
egraph poles snapped and trees up
rooted by the heavy wind, which
followed the shower.
Thretening skies alarmed the res
idents of the place early in the after
noon and their forebodings were full
filled when the shower OF hailstones
came. Some OF the stones were as
large as eggs and fell In large guam
titles, breaking many windows In
the lower part of Sayreville.
The wind blew down grapeyines
and the hailstones did almost ines
timable damage in the fruit orch
ards, splitting the fruit. The ground
was strewn with wreckage and the
loss will reach large total.
The home of William Newbrand,
at Kreuger's Corner, was damaged,
shutters blown off, windows broken
and the roof partially destroyed. In
the Sayre and Fisher general store
the storm did about 500 worth OF
damage. The show windows were
blown In and a large amount of mer-
chandise ruined The roofing paper
was also blown off the store.
At the Old Homestead building,
forty-five windows were broken by
the combined wind and hallstones.
The home of Clifford Rodan was also
touched by the storm, windows being
broken and the roof removed sew
eral inches. On this house the
chimney was. also destroyed. 1t be-
ing believed that this damage was
caused by the lightnining.
At the sayre and Fisher brick
yards the hurricane continued its
path OF destruction, blowing down
sheds, and holding up the work.
Sheds all over the town were de-
stroyed and while the lower portion
of Sayreville bore the brunt of the
storm, upper Sayreville was also the
scene of much destruction.

GOVERNOR WILL
|. PROBABLY MEET
|. WATERWAY men

If the plans of the Board OF
Trade are carried out, Governor
James S. Fielder will be in Perth
Amboy September rs to welcome
the members of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association who will
make their only stop In New Jersey
here.
At the meeting of the Board OF
Trade, held last night in the city
hall, the arrangements for the en-
ltertainment of the distinguished
guests were discussed. President
John Pfeiffer occupied the chair. A
number of representatives from sur
rounding municipalities were pres
ent, including former Mayor Morri-
son, of New Brunswick.
Senator William e. Ramsay was
chairman of a committee,
to be appointed by himself, for the
purpose OF calling on the governor
and extending the invitation to par
ticipate in the entertainment of the
delegates. The invitation will prob
able be extended at Sea Girt next
next Friday, that being Governors
Day"
1t is highly probable that the in
vitation will be accepted since Gov
ernor Martin S. Glynn, of New
York, is to welcome the delegation
at Albany when the steamer Berkr
shire makes its stop there. Perth
Amboy being the only city in the
state which will be honoreds by the
presence OF the waterway men, the
members OF the Board OF Trade be-
lieve 1t fitting that the state ex-
ecutive should be present upon the
occasion.
When the palatial steamer Berk-
shire enters the bay with the con-
vcntion in session on board, the 10
cal factories, at the request Of the
Board of Trade, will salute the
visitors by whistle.
The Raritan Yacht Club will be
asked to cooperate in the welcome
by some. kind of an informal water
demonstration In the bay
Since there will be a number ot
women on board the steamer as the
guests of the association, it will be
necessary to make some provision
for their entertainment and Messrs
Jean Dubois and r. l.. Fowler were
appointed a committee to take uI
the matter of entertainment with
the members OF the Woman's Club.
The secretaries of the various
boards of trade comprising the
county affiiiation were named as 9
committee to prepare literature tc
be presented to the visitors The ad.
vertising matter will probably be IL
the form of a small pamphlet, de
scriptive of the advantages OF the
county on commercial basis.
Although no further steps were
taken in the matter Of automobile
trips for the delegates through the
city and vicinity. It is likely that this
foIm of entertainment will be de-
cided upon il enough cars are placed
at the disposal of the committee.
The next meeting of the general
con mittee will take place Monday
August 10.

ACTION ON FERRY
RATE At HEARING
ON NEXT MONDAY
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


New Brunswick, July 28:-The
proposition of securing reduced rates
on the Perth Amboy and Tottenville
ferry line of the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Railway Company will be
taken up by the county and the rail-
road at the next meeting of the
Board of Freeholders here next
Monday afternoon 1t was stated at
the meeting of the freeholders here
yesterday that George J. Brown,
general traffic agent of the Staten
Island railroad company would ap-
pear before the freeholders next
Monday in relation to the subject of
ferry rates Several other sub
jects came before the freeholders
yesterday. AS predicted, the con.
tract for the Convery Place bridge
at Perth Amboy was not awarded.
Plans were submitted for the erec-
tion of steel and concrete bridge
over Deep Run on the South Am
boy and Bordentown turnpike.
The Freeholders are making a de-
termined effort to secure lower rates
of fare on the Perth Amboy and
Tottenville ferry. Since the cam
paign was started, the railway COM
pany has agreed to make some re-
ductions, but 1t appears that the
county officials want further reduc-
tons. Efforts will be made to
reach agreements when Mr.. Prown
appears here.
Action in awarding the Convery
Place bridge contract was postponed
pending the sale and approval of
