They Could Be Raised Here. Four or five years ago United States fish commissioner Spencer F. Baird condncted an experiment which, although it was then thought a fail ure, accidentally proved conclusively that the propagation of lobsters on the coast could be managed success fully. A number of lobsters were brought from the east to San Fran cisco, but on their arrival in that city it was discovered that all but one were dead, and that was apparently Kiokmg ms last kicks, wituout ex pecting that it -would live, it was thrown into the bay at a favorable place and no one thought of it again until a year ago, when somo China men seining for fish drew up a small army of small lobsters. Their pres ence could not be accounted for in any other way than by tracing their pedigree back to the half-dead lob ster commissioner Baird threw into the bay five years ago. But it was not believed that lobsters would thrive very well along the coast of California, because of tho warm weather. None ofany consequence are found along the Atlantic coast south of Boston. But men who arc acquainted with he habits and con ditions most favorable to tho growth of lobsters, say that the few reefs in Paget sound would be famous places for farming lobsters.

A bill reforming and regulating diplomatic service was presented, but as itfmet considerable opposition in the chamber of depu ties, it "was withdrawn by the commit tee and will bo presented in a some what changed form. Those features which aro most strongly opposed will be omitted. A bill discriminating to the extent of 2 per cent, in duties in favor of goods brought to Mexicau ports in vessels belonging to the Spanish or Antonio Lopez line of steamers will doubtless be passed by congress at its present session. A prominent member of tho chamber of deputies asserts his belief that there -will be passed a general law relieving all goods brought by regular lines of steamers to Mexican ports from 2 per cent of the duties charged on similar articles imported by other means. If this should bo done it will be directly in tho interest of Vera Cruz and will be a rather severe blow on the American railroads. It should bo stated, however, that tho belief that this law will be passed is by no means general. Journals of Mexico aro clamoring for relief from the present high duties levied on for eign printing paper, and congress is asked to admit thi3 class of paper free. The fact is tho paper manu facturers of the country have been protected so long that they are now very strong, and the paper question in this congress bids fair to be very interesting. An attempt will .be made to pull through congress a bill pledging the support of the Mexican .government to an international ex hibition, to be held in this city in 1892, in commemoration of the dis covery of America, but it is believed that it will not be passed, and the ex position project will have to bo aban doned.

Mrs. Mary Lathrap spoke for one hour and a half at Liberty hall last evening on tho subject of prohibition of the liquor traffic. She has a good presence on the lecture platform, a clear voice, a distinct enunciation and uses language that none of her auditors need have the slightest dif ficulty in understanding. She ha3 a terse, incisive style, uses usual argu ments with unusual force ana in a connected way goes on with her dis course to the close. Her opening proposition was that tho prohibition question had nothing to do with Republicanism or Democ racy; it drew a dividing line between those who favored and those who op posed prohibition; the question was one that demanded clear understand ing of its intent and effect, and from a moral standpoint she thought that prohibition should carry. It was an old question and had always been a trouble to society. The argument that what a man drank was a ques tion of personal liberty and not one that could rightly be legislated upon, she deemed to be a fallacy. She op posed the license system, because, in her judgement, it gave the saloon a right to demand the protection of government. Four years ago John Sherman told the Ohio legislature that the state shared in the matter. Should pro hibition carry sho didn't expect that all drinking would stop in 21 hours, but she wanted to have the state and tho liquor traffic separated. She claimed that license high or low wa3 a failure, arguing that tho license paid gavo him who paid tho license legal status and protection. She asserted that the saloons dominated pelitics: that politicians were afraid to nomi nate their best men: that they had to go to the saloons to find out whom to nominate, and charged that the 8,000 saloons of New York city dominated that city's vote and elected the president of the United States every four years. She wanted to know why Astoria didn't enforce tho law that says sa loons shall closo on Sunday and thought that iu great citie3 saloons subsidized tho newspapers.the mayor, the council, the justice court, the po lice court, and that tho licenso law could not prevail, because it was not in accord with the Divine law. If God had waited for public opinion He wouldn't have announced the ten commandments yet. In place of licenso sho wanted pro hibition, not to keep men from get ting drunk, because she had seen men that were good for nothing else but to get drunk; bnt her reason for demanding prohibition was to have government taken out of the criminal docket and placed iu the judgment seat. There wa3 n large audieuco present, her remarks were frequently appland- ed, aud she was listened to through out with attention, Sho will lecture again this evening at Ross' opera house. She believes every word she says, has the courage of her convic tions, aud is worth hearing. PERSONAL MENTION. Martin Foard and wife returned from San Francisco yesterday. D.

Hume signed an agreement to subscribe 15,000 fo the railroad subsidy. Some doubt having been expressed relative there to, he asserted his deliberate inten tion of doing so. This S15.OO0 would be a very material aid to tho subsidy and was proffered by a man who is financially able to give that much and a great deal more. Yesterday W. W. Parker, chairman of the committee that has-cbargo of the subscriptions, told Jo3. Hume that in a conversa tion with Judge Bowlby it '.-.is agreed that he (Hume) be asked to : abscribe 82,500, and cancel tho agreement to pay the S15,000 which he had signed in Judge Bowlby's office last Friday. Hume reiterated his intention of sub scribing the amount stated, S15,000, but at the chairman's request the agreement was torn up, and Jos. Hume's signature was affixed to one of tho lists for S2.000. It seems to us that money is what is wanted: some have given generously, and there ha3 been con siderable of an effort made to get the sum up to the required limit. If the railroad committeo can get men like Hume, perfectly ablo to give thou sands where others can't give dollars, to reduce their subscriptions, they will probably have little difficulty in getting others to do the same thing. The way to raise this required snb sidv is not to cut down any one's con tribution, rather to get them to raise it Jos. Hume can easier give $50, 000 than some on the list who are down for S500. In our judgment this is a poor way to do, aud wo say plain ly that if the chairman's action is en dorsed by tho rest of tho committee they can hang up their fiddles and sit down. No one else can consistently be approached to help make up the subsidy without being met by the question "Why didn't yon take Joe Hume's $15,000? Isn't his money as good as mine?" An Unfortunate Chilil. Tho case of Mrs. Isabella Avey against Houghton Avey for the pos session of their six-year-old child oc- cupied the attention of Judge Stearns the greater part of the day. In March, 18S3, Mrs. Avey applied for a decree of divorce on the grounds of inhuman treatment The matter was not hurried through, the referee" making no report till May, 1SS5, but pending the decision of the case, the custody of tho child was awarded to the mother. A year after the suit was brought Mrs." Avey moved to Astoria where she earned her own living and the child's support. While residing there Mr. Avey went down to take posses sion of the child, and in the struggle between the father ami mother tho child was jammed against a bannis ter, breaking two of its libs. The child from that time on has been an invalid. In tho court room this morn ing it was disrobed, and a horrible sight was disclosed. The side on which the ribs wero broken is par tially covered with a gaping sore, constantly discharging matter, and while it is six years of age it does not appear more than two aud a half years old. It is very puny and deli cate, -constantly manifesting a dispo sition to fall asleep. Yet the affec tion Mrs. Avey has for her poor off spring, which cannot live long, from all indications, is touching indeed. Portland Telegram, 11. Give Them a Cliaurc! That is to say, your lungs.
