The campaign draws to v,
cIoe in
New Jersey with some decided
changes in the political ontlook. Tlie
republicans have made sonic won lor
ful advances d:rin the pa-t week
far as the congressional coutest Ls con
cerned. Instead of thcro being any
doubt as to tho reversing of the pres
ent congressional representations, it
now looks as thongh the repnbUcia?
were sure to return tho foar districts
they now hold and porhap3 gain
another. ,
The next house will cju'ain at Icut
four republican congressmen from this
state, and possibly there will lw five of
the seven congressional districts repre
sented by republicans. This elianje
comes from recklesss trading on .uu
part of the democrats.
Governor Abbott is doierruined to
have the nest slate senate. The hou
is assuredly democratic, and by teenr
ing the senate the democrats will con
trol the legislature and with the gov
ernor also can wipe out the republican j
state treasurer and comptroller n:.l
obtain all the important state ollicerj.
They can also reap a portion or the
congressional districts and Abboit
will be sure of a good contingent to
vote for him for the United States
senate two years from next Jannary.
"Word has gone forth that candi
dates for congressmen are to bo traded
right and left for senators aud as
semblymen, but particularly for
senators.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Fatal Quarrel Over tlie Owner
ship of Cattle.
Special to Thk Astoriax.1
South St. Path,, Minn., Nov. 2.
A bloody tragedy occurred here this
evening, including a double murder
followed by a suicide of the murderer.
Benjamin "W. Bogers and "Wm. B.
Bogere were brothers, engaged in the
commission business and stock raisers.
Last night some of their cattle strayed
into an adjoining meadow belonging
to a farmer named George Bobodge.
This evening the Bogers brothers went
after their cattle and a dispute arose
between them and Bobodge over the
ownership of several animals. The
quarrel grew warm and Bobodge went
to his house and returned with a
double-barrelled shotgun, loaded with
slugs. Before the brothers could re
treat he fired at Benjamin, literally
blowing off his head. The second
barrel was discharged at William,
fatally wounding him in the neck and
breast Bobodge reloaded the gun
and returning to his barn, divested
himself of his coat, hat and shoes,
placed the muzzle of tho gun beneath
his chin, pulled the trigger with his
toe aud blew off his head.

THE INFORMATION' SIGNAL.
Susfstions niul Explanations Concerning
The Yellow Fin's.
A letter received at this nflino fmm
John P. Finley, 2nd Lieutenant of the
signal corps in charge of tho
signal service office in San Francisco,
dated Oct. 30, 1399, gives consider
able information in regard to the rise
of the yellow flag, and though some
thincr similar has been nnblisbwl in
these columns, it is well that tho mah.
ter should bo clearly understood, and
tueietore a portion of tho letter is
copied as follews:
The information signal is not a
storm signal in tho sense that its dis
play signifies the occurrence of a
storm at tue place or display, but
rather that it gives notice to the pub
lic that telegraphic information has
been received bv the observer ennnprn-
ing the approach of a storm, of such a
nature timt me important details re-
jjiiruiujj ib uiuuui ue lnuicaiea oy tne
disnlav of- tho recmlnr nnnfinnnrv
storm signals. Under such conditions
tho information signal may convey the
intelligence that a storm is off .if: rp.i
moving eastward but in such a posi
tion, and moving in such a direction
that it is believed no serious injury
will result to shipping, especially if
tuo vessels going out move in certain
directions. The ordinary cautionary
storm signal when hoisted at a place
means that indications am ffivorabln
for a storm at that place and that it
will affect the neighboring country for
a region ot perhaps from seventy-five
to one hundred miles in efpnh
The information signal has been
substituted for the ordinary storm
signal at Pacific coast stations becauso
it is believed that the use of this
signal will bettor servo public inter
ests, in that it not only indicates the
annroach of storms bnt tlmt if. fur
nishes additional intelligence as to
their character, direction of move
ment and probable continuance. The
information sicrnal has tbo fnrthnr ad
vantage of being ablo to be hoisted
several days in advance of tho storm
or cnango in weather conditions,
whereas the cautionary signal must
be hoisted a few hours before the
storm is expected to striko tho point
where it is disnlaved.
It was for these obvious ad
vantages that I urgently recom
mended, in Jul last, tho adoption of
the information signal for use at Pa
cific coast stations, whom tho vruli-

ESTIMATE OF THE YEAR'S WOEE.
Commissioner Hubbard Condemns the
Mill Bam and Suggests that the
Close Season be Extended
As the salmon industry of Oregon is
one of the most important in the
state, the degree of success attending
the artificial propagation of these fish
is always n matter of deep interest to
the public. It is right that it should
be so, for the far-famed Chinook sal
mon of the Columbia river has done
perhaps more to extend the reputation
of Oregon than any one other indus
try. Chinook salmon have become
known the world over; as for delicacy
of flavor and general eating qualities,
they are unsurpassed by any other
salmon in the world.
As the spawning season is grad
ually drawing to a close, the eyes of
fishermen and cannerymen are nat
urally turned to the Clackamas hatch
ery for an estimate of the probable
output of young hsh.
The hatchery is located on the
Clackamas river, about five miles
above the Oregon & California railway
bridge at its junction with Clear creek,
and. for the pnrpose of ascertaining the
extent of this year's operations, a
reporter visited the hatchery last Sun
day. ESTIMATE OF THE YEAR'S OUTPUT.
Fish Commissioner W. F. Hubbard,
who is in charge of tho hatchery for
the United States fish commission,
stated that about 3,050,000 have
already been taken and that if the
weather remains good the year's out
put will bo from 3,500,000 to 4,000,000
young fish. Last year's output was
4,500,000. This deficiency is accounted
for in various ways.
State Fish Commissioner Keed
attributes the small catch, to the pen
ury and short-sighted policy of the
government in delaying the erection
of dams by refusing to make an
appropriation when it was needed.
He recently said that tho dam should
have been built on tho 1st of May,
whereas the appropriation was not
forthcoming till tfae4st of July. From
this delay ho reasons that the state
will suffer the consequences in a much
smaller output of young fish.
Commissioner Hubbard seizes the
dilemma by the other horn and takes
an entirely different stand.
OREGON FISH IzAWS INADEQUATE.
He says that while somo fish, no
doubt have been lo3t through the
delay in erecting dams tho greatest
loss is due to the inadequacy of pro
tection afforded salmon by the Ore
gon fish laws.
"The principal cause of a small
catch this year," said he, "is the
obstruction placed in the river by a
dam at the sand mill, a short distance
above the railroad bridge. This dam
was built somo time in September.
The attention of the state fish com
missioners was calledto it and they
thought they were remedying matters
by causing a spout or fish-ladder to
be built in the center of the dam.
That. this contrivance did not meet
the requirements of the case was evi
denced by tho largo number of fish
caught below the dam immediately
after tho end of the close season.
Hiller, the man at tho mill, caught
150 salmon the fiist night and even
now ho is catching from forty to fifty
a night, while we with all our facilities
arc not spawning over an average of
thirty-five n day. The hatchery is
operated for tho benefit of the entire
state. Tho dam at the mill is a pri
vate enterprise and the fish caught
below it are sold for the individual
profits.
THE DAiT SHOULD BeJREMOVED.
"This dam ought to be taken away,
in the first place, and then tho close
season should be extended a month
longer. "We are now catching more
fish than we were at the same time
last year, and if the weather remains
favorable wo will continue to catch
them seyeral weeks longer. Anyone
can see how wo are handicapped by
the dam below us. The close season
came to an end on the 1st of October
and we have no way of preventing
fishermen from catching salmon that
we should have for spawning pur
poses. They even encroach upon, the
hatchery grounds, and all wo can do
is to keep them out of that
"If it were not for the sawmill dam,
and we had the close season extended
another month, we could in all prob
ability turn out twice as many young
salmon as we will. The dam is more
of a barrier to Chinook salmon than
to Silverside3, for the reason that the
former are about ready to spawn and
consequently slow and sluggish. The
Silverside3 are fresh from the ocean,
and being more spry and energetic,
find their way through the spout more
readily. During the late rains when
the river overflowed the dam, wo were
able to catch many more salmon than
we did cither before or have since
the rains."
HERE IS A CONUNDRUM.
State Fish-Commissioner Keed took
450,000 eggs from the Clackamas
hatchery to the branch hatchery at
"Warrendale last "Wednesday and it is
understood that he wants two or
three hundred thousand more.
"What is the idea of taking eggs to
the "Warrendale hatchery, when you
havo accommodations enough for
hatching them here?" Commissioner
Hubbard was asked.
"That is just what I don't know,"
replied he. ""We have fourteen rows of
troughs hore, each row containing
twenty-four wire hatching trays. We
are now putting about 15,000 eggs in
a tray, bnt we could easily put in
25,000 without any crowding. "We
can take care of even more eggs than
this, by taking away the young fish as
soon a3 they are old enough after
being hatched, if all conditions nro
favorable, this hatchery can handle
from .10,000,000 to 12,000,000 eggs a
year.
"I presume the state iish-commis-sioners,
who take the eggs by permis
sion of the United States fish-commis-sion,
desire to place a portion of the
eggs at "Warrendale to faoillitate the
distribution of young fish. I, myself
think it a good idea to distribute the
fish throughout as many streams in
the state as possible, but ihe young
fish should be put in shallow water,
Where their chflnnPS trr tnrrmin-nt am

w J.U. fcuo uuiuuium mey 'are ac

their natural enemies, whereas in
shallowstreams, they can gradually
feel their wav to r?pn water. t?ai. ,
while, at least, they are protected
iruiu me rapaciry ot aeep-water fish."
WHAT THE GOVERNMENT ASKS.
"How, in your opinion, Mr. Hub
bard," then asked the reporter, can
the artificial propagation of salmon
beet be facilitated?"
"All that we ask," he replied, "is
protection. Give us a chance to
catch salmon and we will turn out
enough young fish. If it is worth
while to propagate our salmon by
artificial means at all, it i3 worth
while to do it well and to the best
possible advantage. The government
is trying to operate this hatchery for
the benefit of the state, and the least
the state can do in return is to give
it the necessary protection to make
the work a success. The state legis
lature should take some steps to pre
vent the erecKrm nf rlnma nnrnsa fho
river below the hatchery, and the
close season of salmon should be
extended another month.
A FIELD FOR MORE HATCHERIES.
"If the State Wanfs in Hn. nnvffnncr
beyond this, there i n imcA field ttvr

luenvers. nere they could catch
the earlv run of Rnlmrm tpTmuTi nro w

They will not stand confinement
Racks at the heads of rivers would fill
the bill, for here the fish are near their
natural spawning ground, and a rack
would not act as much of an obstruo
tion until they commence to spawn,
then they could easily be caught.
There are a number of rivers in this
state where sucli hatcheries would
prove a success."
MODUS OPERANDI OF ARTTFICIAIi
HATCHING.
As the spawning season approaches
female salmon go up streams to
deposit their eggs. The males accom
pany them. They encounter the racks
or dams built to arrest their progress,
and not being able to get further,
large numbers of them accumulate just
below, where they fall an easy victim
to the fish obstetrician. They are
caught both in nets and with fish
wheels and then are put into small
pens, in which they are generally
kept over nicrht before bflintr snh-
jectedtotho spawning ordeaL The

by their licht color. It takes nbnnf.

After hatched, tha vnnncr fish

which time they are able to paddle

and quite spry and thrifty.
The Clackamas river wntnr hflTnrr

until two years ago, gives better
results. About 85 or 90 pet cent, of

female salmon eats nothing after

gradually waste away and die of
starvation. The males go back to
deep water and take a new lease of
life.
