The pre tenCer has issued a. proclamation an nouncing that he is not fighting for the throne for hlmrelf, hut for the Sultan's imprisoned brother, Mulai Mohammed, curnamed the "One-Eyed."

STRENGTHENS THE POLICE. Change In Lair Reduces Power of St. Petersburg Council. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 16. The pro jected amendment of the St Petersburg municipal statute is expected to reach the council of the empire in the Spring. Contrary to the earlier propositions of the Ministry of the Interior, the office of Mayor will remain elective. On the other hand, the administrative commis sions, which have more actual power than the Mayor, are no longer to be con trolled, by the Douma, or Municipal Council. The aim of the changes appears to con form the city government to the general model of the Zemstvos or provincial self government organizations. The Douma will, if these changes receive the Czar's sanction, retain little more than advisory powers. The real government of the capi tal will pass into the- hands of the Pre lect of Police. This office, under the di rection of Lieutenant-General Klelgels, has already acquired many functions pre viously entrusted exclusively, to the Douma and its Ouprava, or general exec utive council. General Klelgels has been engaged for several years in a feud with the city government, and tho proposed reform is manifestly designed to strength en the power of his office. The Senate of Finland has, under pres sure from Governor-General Bebrikoff, issued an order forbidding the summoning of any person of orthodox confession he fore a Finnish court on an orthodox church holiday. The Finns consider this as an extreme concession to a small minority of the population, numbering in 1S99 only 40,000, in a total of 2,673.000. It is feared that the new measure "will great ly facilitate dilatory practices In the courts and interfere with their work. M-'CORMICK GETS A BARGAIN. Secnrcs Lease on Palace at St. P.e tersburgr, Which Cost $1,500,000. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 16. The house that Ambassador McCormlck has leased here is offered for sale at one-fifth the cost price of the building, without reck oning the site, which extends from , the English quay, with a frontage of nearly 100 feet, to the Galernaya, the depth be ing fully 200 feet. The house is virtually new, having heen built less than a dozen years ago, and has scarcely heen occupied at all. The owner. Von Bervie, encountered first domestic and, then financial misfortunes. His 40,000,000-ruble estate became en tangled in miscalculated speculations, and the administrators are now trying to save ' a tithe of it Owing to the had state of affairs here, no offers for the house have heen received, and the administrators have finally agreed to lease it to Mr. Mc Cormlck. They had Tefused Ambassador Tower's offer, which was .about the same as Mr. McCormick's, on the ground that, intending to sell, they could not bind themselves with a lease. The house is admirably adapted to. the requirements of the United States Em bassy. There are on the Galernaya front three apartments, which are now sep arately let In one of them the Embassy offices would be suitably accommodated, while the others would be available as lodgings for the secretaries. It is under stood the property can be had for '1300,000. GERMANY GETS THE WORST OF IT. Complaint From Kair.cr's Subjects Against American Tariff. BERLIN, Jan. 2. The Commercial Treaty Society has issued a circular com plaining of the United States customs treatment of German goods. In part it Is as follows: "It is quite characteristic that this tar iff announcement has not been applied to jngusn or iseiglan, but exclusively to German goods. There is a system in the matter. It answers the new Remnn tar iff, which strikes at articles of American export with extraordinary severity. "We have every reason to complain of Ameri can tariff treatment and customs , prac tices, but the course adopted by Ger many is likely to have the opposite effect from that wished." JVILL INSURE ITSELF. Shipping: Trust Cancels Policicsand Causes a Sensation. LONDON, Jan. 2. Considerable interest was created at Lloyd's today by the an nouncement that three lines belonging to the International Mercantile Marine Com panythe Leyland, Dominion and White Star had canceled their insurance from January L It was presumed to be the intention of the International Mercantile Marine Company to include its other lines in this arrangement While the removal of such a large amount of business from the market at one sweep aroused much comment the brokers received the news with equanim ity, owing to the fact that for more than a year past all these contracts netted a loss to the underwriters. There was much speculation as to how the International Company intends to meet future losses. The general opinion is that it will be done through the es tablishment of an emergency fund. It was pointed out liowever. that the Penin sula & Oriental Steam Navigation Company has for a number of years neg lected the Insurance factor entirely, pay ing Its losses out of the current revenue. BELIEVES HIS UNCLE LIV.ES. Archduke Leopold Discredit Story of John Orth's Death. NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Archduke Leo pold, who assisted his sister, the Crown Princess of Saxony, in her elopement with her children's French tutor, has made the sensational statement to a reporter 'of Die Zelt according to the American's Vienna correspondent that Archduke Johann Nepomuk Salvator, who renounced his titles and took the name of John Orth, and was supposed to have perished in a shipwreck off the South American coast, Is really alive. Johann Orth was, or is, an uncle of Leopold, and of the Crown Princess. Like his nephew, he left the court to go with an actress. Freulein MlzzI Strubel was with Johann Orth when he disap peared. Archduke Leopold says he be lieves his uncle is living with the Arch duke Louis Salvator, brother to John Orth and also to the present Grand Duke of Tuscany. Archduke Louis is eccentric and spends 10 months of the year on a tiny Ionian Isle and the rest of his time on a yacht TERMS OF THE ACSGLEICIT. Higher Duties on American Exports to Austria-Hungary.

If He Could Have His Way the In f uni ons Fishers "Would Be Banished From Every Stream. PORTLAND, Jan. 2. CTo tho Editor.) Under existing conditions. It will not he long oefore the obituary of the famous trout of Orecon. Wnshlntrtnn nnd Trlnhn streams will have to be written. But a aecaae past the streams of these states abounded with these noble game fish, and the dlsdnles Of the rod nnri rorA rv1orl in the rarest of good sport In their cap ture in every stream and brook through out these states. Now, alas! where are they? Year by year they have grown more scarce, and streams that formerly yielded their full quota are passed by the anjrler as unnroduetlvn nnrl hnrrcn and he is obliged to seek more remote ueius ior tne enjoyment of his favorite pastime. If he would think the mattor OVer for a While he would not h Inntr arriving at Its solution. It has been proved beyond a doubt that the majority of tho so-called trout were nothing but young salmon, and the no ticeable difference in the fish in different streams was due to the specjes of salmon that used the stream for spawning pur poses. Tho steelhead is a pure and simple trout without any of the admixture of salmon in it, as sometimes claimed by the uninitiated, simply because It makes migrations to the salt water, and returnB to our fresh water streams to perform the functions of reproduction. The true salmon confines himself to the large riv ers and streams, spawning during the Summer and Fall months hfnr tho ninv season sets In, while the steelhead awaits me swonen ana auroia waters of the Win ter and Spring floods to reach his favor ite spawning places. The steelhead has acquired his anadro mous. habits from force of circumstances. He inhabits a localitv hn vtnr Vint- seasons the wet and the dry. During the ary term or tne year, the Summer sun hatches vast quantities of parasitic In sects, which prey upon and annoy him, to rid himself of which instinct teaches him to seek cooler temperatures of sa line waters, where they drop off and he gets relief. Yes, he relives hlmslf of an annoyance, but, on the other hand, Jeop ardizes his very existence by running Into the arms, so to speak, of his worst enemy the net fisherman. The rainbow trout of our cascaded streams, seeking surcease from his trou bles, reaches the changed environment afforded by the salt water, where an al most unlimited supply of food awaits him. Giving full sway to his voracious appetite, he soon attains to a growth much beyond his' anticipation, which, in Itself, places him in great peril, as it ex cites the cupidity of his arch-enemies, the net fishermen, who He In wait for him. and the moment the steelhead congregate at the mouths of the rivers, preparatory to making their annual run for their spawning beds, set their nets and prevent his passage up the rivers to perform that function which used to fill our streams with the finest brook trout on earth.- The mouths of our rivers are the gate ways to all of the trout waters of the state, and the steelhead must pass through them and ascend the streams to spawn or we surely can have no fish In our streams the following season. Should not, in all reason, the rule of the "great est good to the greatest number" obtain? Should a few men at tho mouths of our rivers set their nets and prevent the ascent of these fish to the Interior waters, thereby depriving thousands of citizens of their heritage and their rights? In the name of common sense and Justice, what right have the selfish few to say to the multitude: "We are making a good liv ing with cur nets; would you deprive us of it?" Assuredly, yes, if by its contin uance you deprive the multitude of their rights. Every one knows that after spawning, the steelhead returns to the sea, where he remains until the instinct of reproduc tion Induces him to seek the upper wa ters and his spawning beds. The half a dozen net men at the rivers' mouths close the way to him, and. Instead of being allowed to restock our streams, he is caught; and the thousands of citizens who pay our taxes In the interior along our rivers and streams may whistle, "What can't he cured, must be endured." May I ask, when will these people assert themselves and ask, through their repre sentatives, the protection they are en titled to under the law? By prohibiting the use of nets at the .mouths of. all our trout rivers during th'e s9 Wotftman Annual 2.25, for 75C now ......'.... ..$3.50 months in which tho steelheads are pass ing from salt water to tho fresh, and thence to their spawning grounds, they could escape the slaughter which now awaits them and replenish our streams with their progeny. But If no such action is taken, our hatcheries will avail us little, as we soon will be unable to even procure eggs to hatch. Thus, through im providence and neglect of a palpable duty which we owe to the residents of In terior sections, we permit a handful of greedy fishermen at our river mouths to destroy and obliterate one of the finest species of game fish on earth, the progen itor of our far-famed rainbow trout, which on its first .migration to the sea becomes the so-colled "steelhead." the pride of all anglers who have given him battle. How long ero we must chronicle his pass ing? Alfred V. La Motte is authority for the foregoing steelhead rainbow trout state ment. Now to the balance of the large fish that come from the sea and start for the headwaters of our streams to perform the functions of reproduction: The blue-back salmon that used to make the long trips to Wallowa Lake one of its favorite spawning grounds, and there known as the red fish, has almost dis appeared, none being noUced at Wallowa Lake for several years. This fish was one of the choice food morsels of the salmon family. The royal chlnook, the most highly Prized of the salmon family, commences to come Into the "Columbia River early In the Spring, but not to a very great extent. The short clow season during March and April does not afford much protection, as the fish are simply making a etart Into the river, and very few go above tidewater until the fishing season commences In April. Along In May and June this fish I comes Into the river in, large numbers, but the river Is full of gear at that time and' very few fish get by to their spawning grounds. "When allowed to pass, this fish goes to all the tributaries of the Co lumbia and Snake Rivers, and there. In past years. Its progeny furnished rare sport and fed more people than the present catch at the mouth of the river. The short Spring clc?e seatmn does not give this magnificent food fish time to get up the river past obstructions. It Is dimply a truce put on the statute books of "Wash ington and Oregon to give the fishermen time to get In shape for the eason'? run, also It lets a lot of fish congregate In the lower river and school around. The canneries get in' shape and near the end of the close season the school of fish Is soon diminished or annihilated. In case part of these fish should start up the river they would have the e.umtlnt nt tmna seines and wheels to run. let alone the! gillnotters, who are cn the river at all ! times, In season and out. for during the close esason they are ivnt catching a ' few fish to salt down for their own W I but the first few days after the season opcn3 there Is plenty of salt salmon to be shipped, as It brings a good price. To ehow the size of this Illegal fishing, one party who ran a fishing crew through a short close season put up and shipped 1100 barrels at the opening of the season. This business Is winked at. One day the Deputy Fish Commissioner, who was drawing pay from the state to keep people from fishing at the time,, as it was during a close season, started out on a gasoline launch. As It backed out of lte berth and headed out Into the chan nel, the commissioner noticed a lot of ftehlng-boats coming directly up the chan nel, and as the gas engine made so much noise It took about all the lung force the commissioner could exert to call out to the man at the wheel to steer In close to the docks as he did not want to run In among the fishermen. On nearly every little etream running Into the Lower Columbia River It Is a' practice of the people living along such streams to stretch nets that reach from bank to bank and entirely block the fish from ascending such streams, and this In direct violation to the law, but there Is very little attention paid to the prac tice. Several years ago William Kelley was elected to the office of Constable at Astoria, and In going over the district performing his duties thla condition of affairs came to his notice. He acted by confiscating the gear and bringing the parties to book, but Kelley did not have many more official visits to make around the country, as It was understood that when the Justice of the Peace had use for an officer the service was performed by one of Sheriff Llnvllle'o deputies. The fish proposition on the Columbia River has got down to a fight between the cannerymen and fishermen at the lower end of the river, and the cannerymen and fishermen on the middle river to see who Will efct nWflV with thl fow rnmnlnU flv. The middle river men want fishing stopped down In tidewater so as to give the fish a chance to get up to the upper river fisheries. I agree with them to a certain extent. As trie laws are at present the salmon has -almost no show at all. The whole lower river Is lined and dotted with deadly flshtraps, the owners of which & King Big Sale Children's White Dresses Today Only Children's fine white dresses at less than manufacturer's cost.

In coming into the river from the ocean, school around for some time, until they are In proper condition, before starting on their up stream Journey. The mesh in the web of these traps is so small they hold every thing that enters, and large and small perish alike. The next deadfall Is the seining grounds, the seines being of small mesh, that catches large and small alike, the same as the traps. In operating a seining ground a largo seine Is placed upon a boat, the shore end made fast and a small steamer tows the boat conveying the seine out Into the stream. In a large semicircle. Some of them take up the whole channel, this seine -being left to drift down to the lower end of the ground; tho outside end being kept ahead of the rest until ready to land, when It Is pulled ashore, leaving a large bag for the Im prisoned fish, as the seine reaches from top to bottom. As one seine Is landed at the lower end of a ground, another is ready to lay out at tho upper end. This manner of fishing Is very destructive, es pecially so on account of the small mesh, but It has one feature that lets a few fish get away It cannot work after dark, and consequently does not fish night and day, like the trap and wheel. The length of this gear should be curtailed; also the size of mesh should be large enough to let small fish through. After fish escape the gear of the lower river and reach the swift water above the mouth of the Wil lamette, Is where their lives hang on a slender thread. These fish that are slowly struggling up the many miles of swift water to reach your streams to propagate a new supply to give you good fly fishing are mostly doomed to.dlsappolntment, on the way through the swift waters of the narrow gorges in the 'cascades and the dalles. The elwash long ago discovered the fact that the fish avoided the swift current and made their way up through the easy waters of the eddies along shore and dodged around the points, making fishing easy at such places. When the white man came along he soon ousted the slwash by getting title to the land, and shortly erected the deadly fish-wheel on these favored spots. The lucky own ers of these devices could go to bed at night and get up in the morning and find his current-moved wheel and the laws of gravitation had picked up and dumped into the fish-scow fish that would make a year's wages to the ordinary workman. This gear should be done away with. The owners are Immensely wealthy, and their apparatus has paid for Itself many times over. No fishing should be allowed above the mouth of the Willamette River. When your representatives roach the capitals of Washington or Oregon to transact their duties they will find the fish man there with a glad hand and all kinds of divine right theories. Have them cut out. Demand your rights. If you are Interested, send name and address to J. F. LACEY.
