The Food Flsh Supply.
The good fortune that has 4 decreed
that the present rise in beef and other
meat products should fall athwart the
shad season, while shad are plenty and
selling at reasonable prices, should not
be rendered nugatory so far as the
people of this Commonwealth are con-
cerned by legislation designed to des-
troy the shad and other valuable food
fishes of, the State. Fish are among
the best food at any time and under
any conditions, and their value is
greatly increased when as at present
they can take the place of high-priced
meats.
The present situation in the meat sup-
ply should teach as never before the
value of legislation for the protection
and propagation of fish. No food ar-
ticle can be propagated and increased
so rapidly as fish, if properly protected,
and their element, the water, is one
~which is useless for the cultivation of
other fOrms of food. Better still, the
large streams and lakes are pnblic
property and if prolific in fish the com-
mon people secure the benefit without
the possibility of exclusion. It 1s only
necessary that the fishing shall be in-
telligently controlled so that it. may not
prove destructive to the fish.
In short the principle of the greatest
good to the greatest number is as appli-
cable in this matter of fish protection
and propagation as in anything else,
and the fish legislation of any state
should be in the direction of protection
and not of destruction. It is in the
public interest that fish shall be plenti-
ful and cheap at all times ; it is doubly
important in seasons of meat famine
like the present. To be provided against
just such emergencies it is essential that
the policy of the state toward thcjsh-
cry interests should be onset-0356;71-
one and consistent protection.) sage;
Protection of the shad, bass. pike,
perch and other valuable food fishes
and the existence of destructive fish
baskets in the principal streams are
incompatibleand there should be no
repeal of existing restrictions against
these destructive fish traps. The hands
of the Fish Commissioners should he
further strengthened by legislation
which will render the removal of illegal
fish baskets possble and the propaga-
tion and distribution of young fish en-
couraged to the fullest possible extent.
Wheat Prospects.
European wheat prospects are any-
thing butjncouragingfithis year, a con-
dition of mu‘hh" importance to Ameri-
can wheat-growers. The area under
wheat and rye in Russia is 30 per cent.
less than last year; England, ‘Scotland
and France are severe sufi'ers' from the
winter, and Hungary and Roumania
are in similar trouble.
"he Department of Agriculture
sends out this statement, and-the report
shows further that European nations
are imposing wheat,‘ duties that {fall
heavily on’the consumer while protect-
ing the grdwer for a product his acres
fail to return in anything like sufficient
quantity to meet the demand.
France imposes a duty of 36 cents a
bushel, Italy one of 37 cents, Germany
32 and Sweden 2'2. Russia has wheat
to sell, and does not fear the importa—
tion of grain, but protects its flour
manufacturers with a duty of 33 cents.
The heaviest wheat duty is that of
Spain, which! country collects 55 cents
a bushel, the present selling price of
American wheat; but Spain must‘buy
18,000,000 bushels annimlly, as the home
grain growers are just that much do-
ficient in their harvests. '
American grain growsrs have the
European markets before them this
year in a way they can derive a wealth
of advantage from notwithstanding the
h-ebvy duties. *

. Odd Idea. as to the Duty of the
Captain of the Allianca.
NEW YORK, April 26.—Senor Dupuy do
Lome, the new Spanish minister to this
country. who arrived here last night from
Havana on the steamer Panama, was met
today at quarantine by the Spanish consul
General Baldasno.
He is a well built man with black hair
that is beginning to be shot with gray. He
wears a pointed beard, trimmed closely,
and speaks English fluently. but with a
marked French accent. The minister
spoke of the lack of interest taken in the
affairs of the insurgents by the people in
Havana, and of the exaggerated reports
sent‘out from the island concerning the
Insurrection. and expressed his conviction

that the uprising would soon be put down.
“The arrival of General Martinez Campos
in Cuba. ”’ he added, “brought a feeling
of security to the people of the island. It
is needless for me to reply to all the great-
ly exaggerated statements sent out by
newspaper correspondents.
“A N ow York paper recently published a
long ‘intervicw’ with me. in which I was
quoted as making a number of very posi-
tive and unpleasant statements about the
American press. As a matter of fact, I
never said a word to a reporter of that pa.-
per, nor indeed to a. reporter of any paper
printed in English on such a. subject.
Odd View of a Captain’s Duty.
“My mission to America is to talk poli-
ties to the authorities at Washington. As
for the matter of the firing upon the.
steamer Alliance. Ihavc nothing to say. It
seems already to have been satisfactorily
settled. I must say, however, that I think
it would have been wiser for the captain of
the Alliance. to have stopped when he was
requested to do so, and then sought in-
demnity for detention afterward.
“Concerning General Campos and his
proposed plans, I think it is worthy of
note, as a characteristic of the excellent
soldier and'tactician that he is, how little
he has said since his arrival in Cuba. The
general is a. most loyal and patriotic man.
He. has nothing to gain by the present
campaign. It is his policyto be as lein-
cut as possible with the insurrectionists
except in the case of the leaders. These
will be most severely’ dealt with. tThe
government proposes to send to Cuba 24,-
000 men in all before the lst of May.
With this force there can be nodoubt as to
the fate of the insurrectionists. General
Campos has with him two of his sons—
Mlguel, the marquis of Razdan, who holds
the rank of first lieutenant, and Jozef, a
second lieutenant.
No Buying on‘ This Time.
“Statements have been published that the
money General Campos brought with him
was for the purpose of buying ofi the lead-
ers of the revolution. It is well known
that this Was done during the last insur-
rection in Cuba, but the government has
no intention of pursuing such a policy in
the present instance. The revolution is
to be stamped out by force of arms. Es-
timates by conservative men who have
been among the revolutionary forces place
the number of them at about 3. 000, not
more than one-half of whom are armed
and equipped. We estimate their number
at about~4,000, with the armed proportion
mentioned. It is a difficult matter to get
a correct idea of their number, for one day
many of them will be at work on the crops
and the next they are off on a skirmishing
expedition. . Four thousand. however, is
certainly a. liberal estimate, and they are
of a class that would scarcely be taken seri-
ously in America. At present there are
eight modern Spanish war vessels in Cu-
ban waters. Seven of these are second
class cruisers and one of the first class.
The ship I came over on with General
Campos was the Reina Maria. Cristina, the
vessel in which I to Princess Eulalie came
to this country. ‘t- is not intended, I
think, to send a. s . no ships to Cuba.”
Senor de Lo ~ id he would stay in
this city for the“ 1x” Perv days. if pos'sible,
to await the arrim! r his family, who are
en route to N ew ’r‘ork.

Because you find what you
want at prices that are reason-
ably fair and right. , All the
pleasant and agreeable things
we say concerning the goods
in the various departments,
their beauty, usefulness?
quality and cost are but slight
tributes when compared With
the material and articles
themselves. We waste no
words in labored attempts to
explain away their shortcom-
ings. If they are not right
we do not offer them, they
have no business here; we
never deal in mysteries.
The basement has taken on
an air of considerable import-
once just now on account of
the approach of warm weath-
er and the samples of Refrig-
erators and Ice Chests which
are there—oak, ash, and soft
wood, in all the desirable
sizes. Of course prices are
low, lower than ever—chests
for $2.98, $3.98 and $4.98;
upright for $5.98, $6.98,-$7”.‘
98 to $20. Perhaps the
‘ New Columbia ’ is the best
made and finest finished.
We’d like your opinion.
One of the handieSt things
to open the season with is an
Oil Stove—we offer a full size
stove, iron tank, 4-in. wick,
1—2—3 burners, for 39 cents,

Another handy thing is the
celebrated ‘Gem ’ Ice Cream

for $1.39, $1.59, $1.89 and
$2.49.
Dinner, Tea, and Toilet

now. Here’s a. sample for
cottage use: dinner, $6.98 the
