Repre sentative Cogswell, of Mabsfichusetts, nays nothing whatever will conic out of the fisheries negotiations. "All that our fishermen will have to do," he continues, "will be to keep out of the Canadian harbor while we ehall have the pleasure of seeing the Canadains enjoy all the privileges of our harbors, the same as our own fishermen. This state of affairs will continue until we have an Adminis tration that thinks almost as much of our people as of Joe Chamberlain. I tvll you there is big sentiment about this matter all over the country, and it is not alone confined to New England." Advice from Alaska. Por.T Towssem), AV. T., Feb. 4. The steamship Ancon arrived Thursday from Alaska ports with advices to last Friday. The citizenu of Alaska Territory have filed a petition to congress praying for the extension of the United States land laws to their territory, also for addition al appropriations for public buildings and maintenance of schools, ami addi tional mail facilities to Port Townsend.

A large number of miners are preparing to leave this month for the Upper Yukon county, where rich placer mines exist end many thousands of dollars were taken out last summer. The famous Treadwell mines are being actively worked night and day. On the 1st ultimo 2000 pounds of giant powder exploded S00 yards above the ledge, doing several thousand dollars worth of damage and sacrificing one life. A heavy snowstorm prevailed in Juneau when the Ancon departed The weather at Sitka was unusually mild. ItepivMcnt tiie following tinie trietl and fire-tested communes: , merU"in CVntrnl-JP.

Cood Fortune that Came by Chance and Business Sagacity. One cannot help buing struck with the important part the element of chance plays iu the history of most men who ac quire great fortunes. It is peculiarly illustrated in the career of Thomas II. Williams, a California six millionaire, lie went from Kentucky to the Pacific slope in IS-!'.), and settled in Virginia City. As attorney for a mining company, he acquired a claim against it. for $1,500 for services, and wIk-h the company failed he bid in iU mine for the amount of his claim. He moved to S:in Francisco, years rolled on and the transaction liad passed from his mind, when ho was one d iv ap proached by a representative of Floud, Mackay & O'Uricn, who offered him $ 100,000 for his long forgotten mine. lie was not a gretnhoni and he tit once refused the olfvir, as he did successive offers of $250,000 and 500,000. But when a member of the great firm canto to see him with proffers of negotiation, they were not rejected and resulted in the re ception of the firm's check for 0.000,000. It was a great piece of luck, but the luck was supplemented by keen business sagacity. In April, 1887, Charles W. Sprague, an orange grower at Chaseville, Fla., was lying im bed, suffering the "torments of the cursed," with disease of the kidneys, with which he had been troubled for two years. lie had been under the treat ment of an eminent physician but kept Crowing worse. One day when, as he says, "even hope itself had beconss in animate," a casual nsquaintauca happen ed in and advised the trial of Warner's safe cure. lie hesitated, because it was a proprie tary medicine, hut the testimonials of its ellicacy were so convincing that, as a business mail, ho could not doubt Un wisdom of trying it. The result was that May 20th, 1887, he wrote: "From the first dose I commenced to improve. and have now recovered mv health." Mr. Wi'liams owes his large fortune and Mr. Sprague owes his life to chance, supplemented by good business judgment. It is no doubt true that fortune knocks at least once at the door of every man, but it is not every man, it seems, who has the good judgment to gtasp oppor tunity by the forelock. Buyers or Diamonds. Diamond buyers are becoming more nu merous every daj", and, as each is obliged to rely largely upon his own judgment in pur chasing, a few practical suggestions may prove helpful to main', especially since tl:o abandonment of the old method (which was in vogue for 100 years) of obtaining tlio weight of a stone. It was to square tho weight of tho stone and then multiply by t'ao value of a one carat stone of the same quaii ty. That is, if one sarat were worth $100. a two carat stone wan worth 2x2x100 6400, or a four carat stone 4x4x100, equal to 81,000. The discovery of the South African mines in 1807, the opening within a short time after ward of 3,1-13 claims, all within a radius ol" a mile and a half, the Kimbcrly and De Beers mines having recently consolidated into o::e company there are in ail less than fifty com panies which are rapidly being unified into one gigantic corporation, which will re;;uIalo the diamond supply of the whole world, throw on the market more diamonds than had been found throughout the world during the two centuries before. Eighty-seven million carats (over seven tons of diamonds), valued i:i tho rough at .$:i5o,000,000, and after cutting r.t $300,000,000, have been taken from these mines. Tho estimated valuo of the world's entire stock of diamonds is .- l.COO.i.MOOO. George F. Kunz in New York Mail and Express. Dinner in a Strange Iaml. It is told of James Iasmyth, the famous English engineer, that when he was travel ing in Sweden, where he lusew not one word of the language, and where his English was as little understood, he used to order his din ner at the inn by drawing in his sketch book whatever ho wanted. For example, he would draw a table cov ered with a cloth, and a cooked fowl (smok ing hot) upon if, with vegetables, bread, cheese, salt and anything else a pressing ap petite might suggest as desirable. When the order was completed the trav eler liidicaiw t!;e hour when ho wished his dinner served by drawing a clock with the hands pointing to the honr, and the whole thing was plain at a glance. In like manner he used to order a horse and carriage, as he had occasion, and he was always understood. Youths Companion. Great Kitrhen ai W iuil-nr Castle.

Zew York Tribune. Various Diamond fi:idtes. The blue diamond, aniline diamond, or wash diamond swindk ni it was variously called, war; invented a few years ago. It is applied to oif colored and slightly yel low diamonds; these, if painted on the hi ck with a dilute solution of aniline and alcohol, will lose their yellow color and appear either jxjrfeetly v.-'.it? or a bril liant blue white. This steel blue tint cannot be removed by ordinary washing: alcohol or some ether solvent is reotiired to do this, and if such a diamond thus treated ia mounted in a water tight or closed box setting it will pass for a long time undetected.
