Co.'u fall salmon circular, just issued, says : "At Shoal water Hay and Cray's. Jlarbor fish are scarce. At l'uget Sound they were run ning very slack until recently, when they took a spurt and came in in fairly largo nuiintitics. If dry weather continues, the l'uget Sound cannerswill have a fair pack, but even then it will bo nothing like hist year's output. If tho rains come on early, the pack will dwindle down to very small proportions indeed. All tho rivers south of tho Columbia are liaving light runs, which improved Homo w hat during the late rainy weather. Ac cording to tho latest reports Gray's Har bor has 2,000 cases, Shoalwater Hay 1,200 cases and Tillamook 1,500 cases. Tho omility of fall fish is about tho sanio as that, of previous years. At Siuslaw and the Unipqua there has been a percepti ble increase in size. No dellnite reports are yet at hand from Coiiuille or Hoguo rivers. Tho fall fishing in the Columbia is fairly successful. Only two canneries are running. Tho fish in taker's Hay for tho last few days have done well, and tho quantity of lish coining in, if they ran in a email estuary, would give pros pects of a largo pack. They are very much scattered, however, in the Colum bia. The humpback variety are coming in very large, many of them weighing thirty pounds. The price ruling for fall salmon this year is extremely poor, ow ing to the great quantities of Alaska fish now offered at 1.07.'sj delivered in New York. Fall fish will bring about $1.17 delivered in Eastern States." BL'HINKNH IMIKVITIKH. AIhhiI ,Kr(),00) square mile of look ing hisses are manufactured annually in I'.uropn, AImiiiI.

The Pennsylvania Commissioners have decided to present their State building to the city of Chicago after the exposi tion. The Memphis banks have been notified from New ork that they can have all the money necessary to move the cotton crop. Rank circulation increased $15,000,000 in August and $5,000,000 in July, or $20, 000,000 since the financial trouble reached the critical Btage. The recent burning of a Chicago dwelling-house by a prairie fire is a sig nificant commentary upon the magni tude of that expansive city. The City Judge of Savannah, Oa.. fined himself $10 the other day for being late, and then remitted the tine on the ground that " it was his first offense." Railroad earnings still show disap pointing results. The falling-olf is felt in all sections of the country, 00 per cent of the roads reporting smaller receipts than a year ago.

New York city's saloonkeepers have started a strong movement to abolish the free lunch. They assert that the free lunch is a needless expense, which brings in no adequate return. A movement is on foot in New York to form a trades union including the young women in sweetstufl shops and retail stores generally, where the hours are very long and the girls ill-paid. The foreign demand for silver is rap idly increasing. The United States has exported $8,000,000 more of silver dur ing the past eight months than during a like period in 1802.

The acting Secretary of War has ren dered a decision holding that a dishon orable discharge from the service is an entire expulmon from the army andcov ers all unexpired enlistments. (iovernment receipts from all sources continue more eneou raging this month than ha'l l-ocn hoped for. Treasury offi cihis are is-gmning to oeiieve the excess of expenditures over receipts will not be so large this month as thev have ls-en the two preceding months of the present iiscui year. 1 he excess during Julv and August was nearly $5,000,000 each. Thus lar this month it is less than 5)0.000. with indications of keeping down pretty wen during the remainder. July 21 last David A. Sanders of Ply mouth, Utah, filed an application with thu Department of Justice for amnesty for violating the laws relating to unlaw ful cohabitation. The atmlicant savs he did not receive the benefit of President Harrison's amnesty proclamation, and for that reason his unlawful relations did not cease until a few davs after the time mentioned by the proclamation as the limit, .November, 18!H). He says he has not violated any law of the country ex cept that relating to cohabitation; that tie lias not violated this Jaw for more than two and one-half years. President Cleveland is in doubt whether he can properly grant the pardon, and before acting on it has referred it back to the Attorney-General for an opinion. In regard to tho account of the inter view Ix tween Secretary Gresham and the Chinese Minister, in which Secre tary Gresham is said to have told the Chinese Minister that the administra tion did not intend to enforce the exclu sion law, it is stated at the State Depart ment that, whatever the views of the President and Secretary Gresham might le in the matter, they would not give assurance to the Chinese government Unit a law would not Ik: enforced win e it remained on the statute books, und that therefore the statement attributed to Secretary Gresham was inaccurate. It is understood that Mr. Gresham merelv assured the Minister of the good will of the t inted States toward the Chinese government and hoped the question of exclusion would lie arranged in a satis factory manner, so that the amicable re lations between the two governments would not le disturbed. Representative Oates of Alabama has introduced a bill to annex Utah to Ne vada. Mr. Oates said: "I have been thinking over this question a long time, and I believe I have found the true solu tion of a vexing question. The plan is w holly within the power of Congress to carry out. There is nothing in the con stitution to prevent it. There is no way to destroy tho State. That cannot be lone, and yet the future of Nevada is a serious question. Its population de creased from 70.000 in 1880 to 42,000 in 1800 in round numbers, and there is no prospect of its recovering any part of what it has lost. On the other hand, if the silver-mining industry be further di minished, there will not tie 20,000 people in the State in five years, but it has two Senators and a Representative in Con gress. Utah, just adjoining, has 240,000 population, and is not represented at all except by a Delegate with no vote. It is not right that Nevada should have such power in Congress, nor is it fair that we phould keep Utah out of the Union. The passage of this bill will solve the question what to do with Utah and at the same time put life and strength into the veins of a decaying State.'J The bill was referred to "the Committee on Territories. In reply to a Senate resolution of Sep tember 7, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to inform that Iwdv "to what extent the appropriations heretofore made for the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act have been expended and what portions are now available, and whether in his opinion it is necessary that a further appropriation be made by Congress in order to carry out the law, and if so, how much, the Secretary has sent his reply, inclosing a statement showing the appropriations and expend itures since 1880. It was shown that the balance available the 7th instant for the current year amounted to $63,502, which includes the unexpended balance of the appropriation for the last fiscal vear, $20,(I2. It is estimated that $38,000 will be required to pay the salaries and necessary expenses of' the officers regu larly employed to enforce the exclusion act for the remainder of the current year, leaving an estimated balance avail able for the deportation of Chinese found to be unlawfully in the United States of $25,502. It appears by the census report of 1890 that the Chinese population of the United States in that year was 106, 688. Of this number 95,477 were in the Pacific States and Territories. The num ber who registered under the act of Slav 5,1802, was 13,243, leaving 93,444 who failed to avail themselves of the privi leges of the act. Assuming that about 10 per cent of these would be entitled to exemption, the Secretary finds there would still remain about 85,000 liable to deportation under the law. The lowest cost for transporting Chinamen from San Francisco to Hong Kong is S35 per cap ita, and other expenses incident to ar rest, trial and inland transportation would also average, he says, not less than $35 per capita. If, therefore, all of those who did not register should be transported to China, the cost involved would aggregate in round numbers about $6,000,000. This, the Secretary says, in his opinion would be a moderate amount to carry out the act. He was unable to furnish an accurate estimate of the num ber who might be deported during the remainder of the current fiscal year, the matter being largely dependent upon the action of the courts. Assuming, how ever, that the courts would be able to dispose of 10,000 cases during such pe riod, the amount required would not be less than $700,000. The Secretary ex presses no opinions, and makes ao recommendations. FOREIGN FLASHES. Welsh Miners Return to Work at JLwluced Wages. VICTORIA'S EYESIGHT FAILING.

The London Times announces the death at Altnacraig of Surgeon Major Parke, who accompanied Stanley s ex pedition in search of Emin Pasha. As an indication of how the slave trade survives in Africa, it is stated that last summer a caravan of 10,000 camels and 4,000 slaves left Timbuctoo for Morocco. Part of the hesitancy of English spin ners to buy cotton is attributed to their belief that silver is liable to go lower and so embarrass the India and Chinese trade. Eighty-five students, eight professors and five women of rank have been ar rested at Moscow on suspicion that they were implicated in a plot against the Czar's life. The recent appearance of salmon above London bridge in the Thames after an absence of sixty years affords no small encouragement to the Sewage Disposal Committee. France was very much disturbed by strikes last year. An official return shows that in twelve months there were close upon 300 trade disputes, affecting 108,000 workmen. The old Swan Inn, close to the quaint copper-spired St. Mafy's Church, Bat tersea, has just disappeared, and a pala tial tavern, "The New Swan," has been erected in its place. No fewer than 70,000 Welsh miners have just gone back to work on a 20 per cent reduction of wages, and 30,000 more who are still out are expected soon to accept the same cut. The prolonged drought will have the effect of rendering the wine harvest of France a record breaker. Wine this year will not only be extremely abundant, but exceptionally superior in quality.

We have been shown by Mr. and Mrs. John Graves a unique and interesting relic of the civil war in the shape of a half gallon jar of peach preserves which were made in 1802. The relic was given to Mr. and Mrs. Graves. Oct. 27. by Mrs. Wah Roberts, of Rocheport, and its history is as follows: In lbtil John Roberts joined the Confederate army along with Ben, Sam and Jack Ray. brothers of Mrs. Roberts. In 18H2 this lady and her sister-in-law. Mrs. John Roberts, were together putting up pre serves, jellies, etc. They filled some jars which they agreed not to open until their brothers and husbands should return safe from the war. It turned out that John Roberts was killed, and as they did not all come back, the ladies did not open their preserves. Time rolled on. Mrs. John Rolnrts moved to California, where she married again and became the mother of several chil dren and is now dead. Recently Mrs. Wash Roberts concluded she would send some of these preserves to these children, and also to give some to her friends, the Graveses. The preserves are in first class condition, of excellent tiavor, and would no doubt keep uuuther quarter of a century. Wash Roberta has been for many years a popular citizen of Roche port, while Jack Ray is somewhere in the state of Washington. Fayette (Mo.) Banner. Savages Slaughtering Deer. Game Warden Taylor came in recently from the lower country, where he has been kept busy driving the Indiana out of that section. Mr. Taylor reports that the Utes have been playing sad havoc with the game, slaughtering wherever they could. He was very indignant over it, and from his version of the mat ter he has good reason to be. He states that from the Iron springs divide to Yel low creek it is impossible to travel a hundred yards without finding the bod ies of deer lying around, and in most cases nothing but the hides and braius have been taken, the brains being used by the Indians in the process of tanning On Blue mountain and in the Lilly park sections the rotting carcasses can be seen, while on Snake river they are so thick as to absolutely poison the air. Warden Taylor estimates that since the deer began to travel down the Utes have killed between 5,000 and 6,000 of them, and what makes matters worse the major portion of them are does and fawns, the bucks always remaining in the upper country till later in the fall. Denver Sun. The Highest Railway In Europe. The oieuing of a new Alpine railway the Brienzer Rothhornbahn is an nounced. It is the highest railway in the Alps and commands magnificent views. It is 2,351 meters (7,8Jrt feet) high at the summit level, and ascends 1,682 meters (5,600 feet), or sixty-seven meters (223 feet) higher than the Pilatus railway. The journey occupies an hour and a half. The gauge is 0.8 meter The line is a pure rack and pinion rail way on the Abt system, and is similar in construction to the Moute Generoso railway. 1 he steepest gradient is one in tour- that is, less than the maximum Pilatus ascent. The railway has been built in a remarkably short space of time; it was begun so recently as the 1st of October, 1890. No fewer than ten tunnels were bored; numerous streamlets were bridged and heavy stone dams had to be erected. Iron. ' Warning Against Antipyrine. Let me say something about the indis criminate use of antipyrine. 1 think it is villainous. Its use should be restricted like laudanum and morphine, and used only upon a physician's prescription. Peo ple use it carelessly, not knowing that it is a heart depressant and cumulative in its action. Many persons come to me and say that they have been using ten grains every three or four hours, and without any idea of the harm it does. 1 came across two or three deaths last year directly due to its use. Too much cannot be said about the danger from its indis criminate use. Interview in Philadel nhia Press. loo Suggestive. Miss De Pretty Let's form a secret ociety. Miss De Pink Let's.
