Carriage When 'the Woman Hurled
Chopper at Him Emperor's Friends
Laid Hands on the Woman The Po
lice Saved Her.
Breslau, Nov iC Emperor Wil
liam was the object of an attempted
outrage this morning which, however,
failed. As he was driving in an open
carriage to the Cuirassier barracks, ac
companied by the beritary prince of
Saxe-Meiningeu, a woman in the crowd
hurled an axe at the carriage. The
rapidity with which the vehicle was
passing saved its occupants. The axe,
or hatchet, fell just behind the car
riage. The woman was immediately
arrested.
The missile, it developed later, was
a short handled chopper. The woman
is believeib to be insane. Her name is
Selma Sciinapke. and she occupied a
place m the trout rank of the specta
tors, in the side furthest from the em
peror The chopper was so well aimed,
it novV appears, that it actually struck
the carriage. A crowd of people who
witnessed the outrage threw them
selves on his majesty's assailant, but
the prompt interference of the police
saved the woman from injury.

roome in this city this afternoon. It
was attended by a large number of
gentlemen, representing the tire uu
drwriting business in this state.
"1 he annual address was delivered by
President John C. North of New Ha
Yen. Mr North iu his address practi
cally approved of Commissioner Sco
lield's ruling in regard to insurance
brokers. Referring to the need of a
tire marshal law the speaker said:
"In one respect, at least, we could,
I believe, improve our present laws by
adding the state lire marshal law, such
as is in successful operation iu Massa
chusetts. To-day. outside of few
cities iu the state, no provision is made
for the investigation of tires, and the
bringing to justice of" Ihe criminal
whose work in the country has made
it almost impossible for the local agent
to place farm risks."
Tiie add reus was concluded with sev
eral recommendations of interest to
tire insurance agents.

men and women dying of consumption.
The sickness was tirst noticed h'st
spring. During the summer it in
creased and the Indians were unable
to dry lish, which is their chief and
almost their only staple. Consequent
ly unless aid is sent a number of them
will die of starvation this winter."

GLOUCESTER FISHING INDUSTRY
Gloucester, Mass, Nor It!. Glouces
ter has reckoned up iu the past year
the cost of..llf and property of its fish

both to losses of life and property has
been practically the best' iu twenty
five years. Although there hare been
two years when the property loss was
slightly less, yet in those years the
loss of life was considerably larger.
The total number of vessels lost dur
ing the year was six, aggregating
5Ui).(jO tons, having a valuation of $2!),
000, upon which there -was an insur
ance of $20,075. The number of lives
lost in the fisheries and incidental

of lives lost per year for the past
twenty-five years has - been ninety

Annual Report of the United States
- Commission.
Washington. Nov Iti. The annual
report of the United States commis
sioner of fish ami fisheries, George M.
Bowers, says the present amount ot
capital invested in t lie fisheries of the
New England states is $li).(i:j7.()'J(;.
shovriuv a decreas- of $4.:;7o.7.''8 since
the commission's last statistical cnu
vass in .188!). This decrease, however,
is staled to t'p only apparent. bein;t
acused chiefly by the transfer of tin
menhaden industry to New York. The
New England food fisheries in the ag
gregate have increased in iiuaniuv and
decreased only slivrhrly in value. There
are :'..V145 persons employed m t!rs
work and 1.-1x7 vessel.--, valued with
their equipment at $4,224.:!:;;). The
total product is ''.)". :i!"."i..-7( pounds,
worth $!.72.7t2. the fishery for cod.
-u.sk, haddock, hake and pollock rank
ing first wirli a value of S2,7S'J.1lS). fol
lowed by The oyster fishery of Rhode
Island and Connecticut, worth $1.!)1').
f.S4. The lobster fishery is hct. t in
commercial importance, being worth
S 1,270.1100. While the catch has fallen
from ;U).rOD.ot)0 pounds in 1SS!). to H.
Utitt.oon in 1W8. the price of lobsters
has so advanced that the value of th:
industry has increased a considerable
detrree.
The iuouiry conducted on Lake Eric
in the calendar year 8',9 shows a de
cided increase in ihe fisheries of this
lake since the last canvass in quantity
and value of the product, capital in
vested and uumber of persons em
ployed. This, Is .chiefly shown in the
catch of white lish and lake herring.
The yield of pike and perch, though
lame, is not considerably greater 1h;in
iu former years. Three thousand seven
hundred and twenty-eight persons and
104 vessels are engaged iu the indus
try, representing an investment of S2.
710.000. In ISO'.). G8,;J9S,00() pounds of
products were obtained, worth Sl.lfiO.
800. A feature of the fisheries is tlie
n umber of carp which wen- taken. 1h
catch amounting to over ft.UwO.OOO
pounds, valued at $51,400.
The quantity of fishing products
lauded at Boston and Gloucester show
an increase of more than 3S.000.000
pounds, with an increased value of
over $1,200,000. The bulk of the iu
otcanf is to be credited to Gloucester.
The total tiroducfs landed from Amer
ican res-els at the two ports amount
ed io 170.774. 301 pounds, and were val
ued at nearly S4.20O.0itO.
Inquiries now iu progress along the
lakes and in the Mississippi valler
show that an increasing number of
enrp are being caught and shipped
chiefly to the markets of th- larger
eastern cities. From Lake Erie and
the Ohio river and certain of ils tribu
taries the quantity ff this species
taken is nine times as irrcat-as six
years airo. From the Illinois river
more carp are taken than all other
species combined, the catch for IbOt)
amounting to 0.:J32,PO0 pounds, valued
at $180,000. If would appear that this
fish will become more and more an im
portant factor iu ihe food fish supply
of the country. The American fur
seaf herd continues to decrease in num
bers through Ihe continuance of
pelagic scaling and the recent counts
nhow that fewer pups are born.
The total uumber of fish distributed
by the goroniment iu the past fiscal
year was I.ltr4.ti3,7r4. an increase,
principally of shad, flat fish, white fish
and lake trout, of about lo0.000.000
over the previous vear. Owing to the
excessive drought iu California in ISO!)
few salmon nsscended Battle Creek
and MeCloud rivers as far as the hatch
eries. The Columbia river (Oregon) re
sults were better, though the run of
salmon was poor. An attempt will be
made to rear all salmon fry to the
yearling stnge before liberating them.
At Baker Lake. . Washington, the
propagation of the sockeye and blue
back salmon, perhaps the most impor
tant eommerciallj' of the I'uget sound
salmon, has begun, and over 10.000.
000 frr have been hatched and plant
ed there and in the Skagit river. About
1. "5.000.000 lake trout eggs were collect
ed on Lake Michignu spawning
grounds, and over 12.000,000 from tin
Lake Superior grounds. At the- Lake
Erie station over 8H7.ftX3.00O white fish
eggs were hatched and the fry liber
ated, a gain of nearly 200.DOO.6oO aver
the year before. .Very satisfactory re
sults have been attained at the New
England .stations devoted to the propa
gation of marine commercial fishes.
The decrease of lobster fishery iu New
England is shown by the large de
crease of men engaged iu it. In the
shad propagation the year showed an
increase of 0.000.000 more fry hatched
and planted than last vear.
The stocking of sirftable streams
with the various species of trout has
been continued, snecial attention being
paid to the distribution of brook trout
and black and spotted trout.
Investigations designed to give the
practical assistance to the oyster in
dustry have been carried on. The re
sults of . the experiments in fattening
oysters by increasing the product! ve-ne-ss
in inclosed waters of their natur
al food have given much encourage
ment. - .
On Lake Ontario, where for sev
eral years there -has been a decided
falling off in the commerical fisheries,
there was found to be a material im
provement, the yield being nearly
three times as great as in 1897, and
it would appear that the effects of the
fish, cultural operations which have
been conducted here are beginning to
be felt. The number of persons! en
gaged and capital invested are also
nronortiouat,--lv greater. The yield iu
1800 amounted to nearly 2."00,000
noiiuds, valued at oyer $100,000. i

JAIJES DONAHUE'S OBJECTION.
Refuses to Allow a Pole on His SiJe
walk The City Has Ordered Pole
Removed I-rum Street The Case Is
One That Will Be Watoea With In-'
'I hen- promises to be a big Cht be
tween the trolley company and Jamea
Doni'.hue, who o'.vus a three-story
frame building on the c-.-ner of North
Main uml North lilm streets. The
point of contention is. has any corpor
ation like the one uieui iouetl power to
place a pole from wh:-:i tt suspend
it.s vi lies on t:ie sidewalk or property
of any one. The determination of this
iptestiou. which ,s juite a popular one,
will settle the problem, who ewns the
sidewalks. Mr Donauu has oia.de up
his mind to mend a few tliousand dol
lars io find out who owns the sidewalk
t. Inch he paid for and built, and it
is hinted that he will be assisted, in
the litigation by his neighbors.
The scene of Ihe proposed litigation
is tho paved area on Nwrih Main street
betw'oon (Terry and Urvvc streuts. The
pole which M:nds in tne renter of this
ide space is used jointly by the tele
phone and ihe trolley companies. A
black network of wires branches cut
in all directions Tiom it. It has been
ordered removed hy the board of pub
lic works nn the irround tha.t it is a
menace to public life, lhat. in fact, it
obstructs a public thoroughfare. The
owners of the pole have already put
on a pole ou the sidewalk iu front of
W. N. Ladd's new block, preparatory
to removing the one objected te. They
then set about putting up another pol,e
on (lie corner of Mr Donahue's, side
walk, hut he objected and tiie work
men went away. The board of public
works, at its last meeting-, again or
dered the pole (o be removed, and on
this occasion placed the limit f time
at December 1. A few days ago the
companies made another ittemut to
dig a hole on the corner of Mr Doma
hue's sidewalk, but. fortunately fer
himself, he happened to be about at
the time, and again bjectad before
the men had lime to make an impres
sion on t he artificial sioue sidewalk.
Now the yompauy. upon the advieu
of their counsel. Attorney Terry,
claims Uiev are not obliged to reuiova
the objectionable pole until the city
has provided them with a aew place
in which to put. it.
Mr Donahue claims his prepertj
would b- materially damaged if tht
pole in uestiou wai pnt up wliert
ihe company tried to put it. It would
obstruct the view uu Nurth Main street
and Cherry" street, for ue thing, be
sides lieiiifr an object that is not at all
beautiful. These matter are asuafly
disposed oT by amicable setUeaient be
tween tii;- company and tiie preperty
owner. Sometime iwuiyeMjsatiwu in
some form is given, but when it is im
possible to agree ihe causty ceuiniie-sione-s
are called iu and they decide.
Thee n n-.m.-al is taken te the snuer-
ioi"Vourl if the parties' back ar still
up. A glance over the scene at con
tention shows at once the rreat Jia-
e that would be done Mr Uaaahae's
property by placing tke pole an it; yet
the great incouveuieaoe t the com
pauy by placing ihe pole elsewhere i
also apparent'. The matter wifl nrob
ablv rest now until the closing of tha
time limit. December 1. .
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION MET.
Devine and Murray Elected Captains
of Basket Ball and Poll Teams.
An interesting meeting of the Ath
letic association of tiie local High
school was held at the High school
building to-day after the school ses-
i sum. about twenty members attend-
ing. Tiie principal business of the
i meeting was the appointment of a
i basket ball and a polo manager. It
j was generally regarded that Duums
i Murray, who had mauajed rho loot
! ball eleven so successfully u-ader try
ing difficulties, would be elected ai
manager of both teams, or al least the
basket hail team, but Jecse Devine,
who has well represented Wateroury's
interests in the doings of the lnter
scholastic league, proved a dark hers a
and defeated htm by a vote of
for manager of the basket ball team.
Mruiafcer Murray was auaaiiuously
elected to manage the polo team.
There is no doubt but the High school
will have both a crack basket ball and
nolo team. On the latter will be .
Byrnes. L. Walker and T. Walker, all
of last year's tram, while K. Byrnes.
A. and H. Cook. Warner. Sanderson.
Cullinne. Knopf. Hart and a ton
others will be candidates for the bas
ket bsil team. The difficulty will be
not in trying to get msteris.1 -but in
attempting to pick out the best play
ers. There is no doubt but: the teams
will be properly managed when Messrs.
Devine and Murray are at the helm.
