 Various. people living. along he Yukon River have written the Delegate, asking that he ex- trt his influence with the Bu- reau of Fisheries to the end that fishing operations might be conducted along the mouth of the river. After very satis- factory conference with Com missioner Henry O'Malley last week the Delegate received a letter from Commissioner read ing as follows:
 "Confirming our conference of today regarding the opening of the Yukon to a limited amount of fishing: For long while I have been favorable to an open Ing of the legal area of 500 wards off the mouth of the river where gill net fishing can be conducted, but I feared that if it were thrown open and the salmon market became Stabiliz- cd, operations might become so l aXte0Siva as tO he harmful to the river.
 After our discussion. I have arrived at the definite conclu- sion that fishing operations can be permitted on the basis of all lowing 50,000 to 60,000 king :, salmon to be taken. This, in my ! judgment, will not encourage any large canneries to go into that field but will permit the local people to sell and ship their product to the States.
 "T shall, therefore, recommend to the Secretary of Comerce in the regulations that will be is sued in December, 1881, that the river be opened to king salmon fishing, limiting operations to kng salmon gill nets, and lir1- ] iting the season to the time when the bulk of king salmon are running. Thee will un- dOuntedly be some chum salmon caught but only 8 limited num- Der in my jUdgmenG ao,; will not interfede with the people living along the river who de- pend on catching salmon to dry sor their own food and that of their dogs. I hope that this ac- ton will bring about Q small industry at the mouth of the Yukon, conducted by local peo- pie. You may give this such publicity as you desire"

Greenwich, Conn, Dec 2-(UP) The Duke of Manchester was back in New York today after a flying visit here during which he was married, posed for tiresome number of pictures and disclosed : his wife's weight.

Walker, at New York City Hall: Manchester was divorced in England by the former Helena Zimmerman of Cincinnati on grounds which forbid remar- riage in New York state within three years of the decree.
 More than a dozen photograph erD were waiting for the Duke and Dptchess-elect when they arrived late yesterday. After they had posed repeatedly the Dukes cus- tomary urbanity broke.
 "Oh, l say" he exclaimed. "rhat's enough of this business"
 Then he submitted to questions.

 "Thirty-four."
 Her weight?
 "I'm not sure, but I think it's about 125. She said she lost four pounds after coming to New York"

DRESS CITY HALL FOR HOLIDAYS
TURKS BARTER
 WITH TRADERS
Return to Old Customs Meets With Many
 RebuffS

Istanbul--A widespread return to biblical times, when goods were bartered. and exchanged instead of being paid for in coin, has had a disastrous effect on Turkeys mar kets.
 It happened this way. After sew eral years of agricultural slump, the peasants are 10th to spend their cash. Traders have tried to sell them goods, which, in ordin- ary times, they would be only too anxious to buy.
 Now, however, the peasants re- fuse to part with their cash. and the only way they will do business is to pay for the goods with sheep, goats, or cattle and poultry.
 The traders have been forced to accept these terms, but when they return to the cities. having driven their purchase prices' for long distances, the animals are in such an emaciated condition that they only bring low prices.

 It was feared that no bids might be received on the bonds, due to the low condition of the bond mar ket. The city needs between $40O,- 900 and $600,000 in temporary loans to ''carry on."
