The State Fish Commission.
Mr. Lewis F. May , of In a Nebraska fish
commission , Is In the city on his way cast.
He reports that the commission has con
tracted with the Lltchlleld , 111. , car manu
facturing company for a fish car which is to
bo delivered by October 1. The oar Is built
after the model of the ono owned by the
Michigan fish commission and is about fifty
feet long. The initial trip of the car will
probably bo made with n load of about 50,000
or GO.OUO carp , which will bo planted at
various points along the throe railroads.
The commission has made picpar.itlons for
the erection of a new hatchery at South
Bend to take the place of the old ono , which
has boon found inadequate. The contracts
were to huvo been let u week ago but owing
to some hitch in the proceedings they are
held and will probably bo awarded during
the coming week. The hatchery is to cost
$1,500.
Arrangements have been made for the
transportation of three cars of bass , pike ,
croppies , pickerel and several other varieties
which , have been secured from Secretary
Bartlett , of the Illinois llsti com
mission , who liiis charge of the
collection of indigonuous llsh collected
in ponds formed by ovorllows. These cars
will bo received within the next two weeks
and thn fish will bo distributed along the
lines of the B. ft M. , Union Pacific and Elkhorn -
horn roads. Through the libora'.ity of these
three roads and the Chicago , Burlington &
Quincy road , thcso cars will bo transported
from Illinois frco of charge. Two cars were
distributed in this manner last year , but this
year the commission intends to cover more
territory. Mr. May has been in correspond
ence with Secretary Bartlett and has se
cured the promise of the three carloads of
Ihh , nnd has induced the railroads to trans
port them frco of charge , so that the iish do
not cost the state anything. These llsh are
from six to ton Inchcmn length and will soon
bo largo enough to catch.
The state commission will make a large
exhibit at the state fair this year. Sixteen
aquariums , with an aggregate length of 150
feet , have hcn arranged in a building put
up by the state board of agriculture. This
will be the largest exhibit which has yet
been made , and will bo a most Interesting
one.

commissioner , who passed through Omaha

The Hnllronil Situation.
CHICAGO , August 21. [ Special Telegram
o TIIR BcB.1 Judge Cooloy's ' decision that
ho proportional tariffs quoted between Chi-
en go and St. Paul were illegal , had n vety
quieting effect on the Northwestern roads
o-day. The matter was not mentioned In
o-day's meeting of the Western Freight as-
Delation. The Burlington ft Northern Is ,
lowovor , very muon dissatisfied with the
outcome. Vlco President Harris and Gen
eral Freight Agent Hamblin , of that road ,
claim positively that Judge Cooloy's decision
s simply a temporary setback. Mr ,
Inrrls Mild this morning that his
road would ns soon ns possible ,
scuo u legal tariff on which through business
could be taken from the seaboard to the
northwest , provided prorating arrangements
can bo made with an eastern lino. Tilts
tariff will bo issued as soon as It can bo
irlntcd.
Chairman Faithorn , of the Western
freight associationstarts to-morrow for Now
York on the thankless task of trying to In
duce the trunk lines to prorate with the
northwestern lines. The Central TrnlHo
moclatlon has already refused to prorate ,
Chairman Ulanchurd bolng bitterly opposed
to It. As alrcudy shown in thcso
dispatches , the northwestern lines
must secure prorating arrangements
with eastern lines , go out of the business or
carry It at 11 loss. The Canadian Pacific and
"Soo" lines have reduced rates to such a
Duint that thcro is no possible chance of the
Chicago roads minting a paying rate In addi
tion to the eastern locals. The latest illus
tration is the fact that it was necessary to
reduce the Chlcago-St. Paul rate to 15 cents
to meet this competition.
Chairman Walker , of the Intcr-Btnto Com-
mcrco Railway association , delivered two de
cisions to-day. The first was on nn applica
tion of the Chicago , St. Paul ft Kansas City
for authority to establish n rate of $3.20 a tenon
on hard coal from Duluth to southwestern
Missouri river points , being the same rate as
from Chicago to the same points. The dis
tance from Duluth to St. Joseph via the
Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas City being 035
miles , and the short line distance from Chicago
cage to St. Joseph being 470 miles , the ap
plication was denied.
The second decision allowed the petition
of the St. Louts & San Francisco road asking
permission to equalize the gram rate via
Kansas City and St. Louis by refunding St.
Louis brldgo tolls.
Shipments of various commodities from
Chicago this week are larger nnd show
larger increases than ever before. On

Ono scalper to-day sold over 110 at f 1.25 for
the round trip to Milwaukee , and confidently
believes ho will sell 500 on Monday at $1. It
is not charged that any of the roads are
manipulating rates , the supply of tickets in

fact that any ono coming to Chicago now
travels on n Grand Army ticket the unsold
portion being sold for what it will bring.

has been mot by the Louisville & Nashville
with a rate of 1 cent u milo to all brigades in
Illinois and Indiana , arid it is announced
to-day that the Queen & Crescent will make
the same rato. This created great conster
nation In railroad circles , and it is probable
all the roads entering Chattanooga will
make tbo same rates.
Ihu Irrepressible * Alton.
KANSAS CITV , August 31. It was an
nounced hero to-day that the Chicago &
Alton railroad xvill hereafter take shipments
of grain from points west of the ( Mis
sourl river on tlip same basis that
it has been carrying cattle from
the same territory. That is , it will
pay the full local tariff to the Kansas City
and in u It o the rate from hero to points cast
so small that , added to the local , it will make
a rate as low as any of the throgh lines.
THE MINING QUANURY.
W ages Too Low nnd Operators rower-
loss to Kulse Them.
CHICAGO , 111. , August 31. Judge Gould
nnd Dr. Wines , appointed by Governor Flfor
to investigate and report unon the northern
Illinois mining troubles , have presented a
voluminous report to the governor. They
lind it impossible for the miners to subsist
upon the wages offered by the opera
tors , but decline to state any
conviction that the present market.
and controlling conditions will Justify the
opcrutois In offering a higher rate of wages.
They stuto that the facility witli which coal
can bo mined in southern Illinois places the
northern Illinois miners under n decided dis
advantage in the matter of tmtmit and
wages. In the report of 12,000 the commis
sion falls to recommend any panacea for the
existing troubles and concludes with the re
flection that the situation is ns hopeless as it
is distressing.

SACIUMHSTO , Cal. , August 24. Governor
Waterman to-day wrote a letter to Attorney
General Johnson , of California , in which ho
Bays : *
"Tho arrest of Justice Field , of the supreme
premo court of the United States , on the un
supported oath of a woman who on the very
day the oath was taken , and often before ,
threatened his life , will bo a burning disgrace -
grace to the stuto unless disavowed. I
therefore urge upon you the propriety of at
once instructing the district attorney of San
Jouquln county to dismiss the unwarranted
proceedings against him. "
Upon receipt of this letter. Attorney Gen
eral Johnson wrote to the district attorney ,
stating that in view of the fact that there is
no evidence Implicating Justice Field in the
shooting of Judge Terry , public Justice de
mands that the charge made against him bo
dismissed. If any evidence comes up here
after implicating any person in the affair ,
the district uttornuy of course can proceed
against such person in the usual manner.

the Fifteenth Judicial district , in which Har-

request Governor Bucknor to send troops to

Appointed The Gatherers
of Mrgos.
In the Parlnnn Slum .
Despite the constant demolitions
which transform old ruins into stately
liouscs , narrow and unhealthy streets
into splendid avenues nnd boulevards ,
thoroughly aired nnd well shaded ; de
spite the progress of our civilization ,
and perhaps , also , because of it , Paris ,
the capital of the world , still preserves ,
In out-of-tho-way corners , public estab
lishments having their original and
altogether typical character , derived
either from their situation or their
shady clientele , writes G. Mace , former
ly chief of the Paris detectives , to the
Globe-Democrat.
The bust known and most largely pat-
roim.ed of these cabarets is located at
No. 67 Rue Gnlandc. It is styled the
Chateau Kongo , or the Guillotine , bc-
uauso the facade is painted the color of
ox blood. The immense porto coehoro
which gives access to tills cabaret is
lordly in appearance nnd the courtyard
is very spacious. To the left is a mon
umental tlight of stops nnd the arched
windows nro of a prodigious height ,
while hero and thcro in the walls
are grated openings. This house was
formerly the habitation of tbo Duebcsa
do Beaufort , otherwise Gabrielle d'Rs-
tress , the favorite of the popular King
Henri IV.
The garden of this hotel has boon
replaced by a building in which a num
ber of Swiss glaziers lodge in company.
They nro steady and economical people ,
living in common to reduce their ex
penses as much as possible. Never en
tering that part of the Chateau Rouge
where drink is sold , they s'co the evil of
drunkenness near at hand and studious
ly avoid it
Should you enter the wine shop as nn
observer it is advisable to take cigar
ettes with you , for the people you will
find therein will certainly demand
them of you. They solicit tobacco and
brandy , but never bread , for bread is
with thorn altogether a secondary con
sideration.
In the first room you will find the
counter , but no seats ; but the patrons
of the establishment do not like to
drink there they prefer to absorb
their potations in those two apartments
to the left , ornamented with mural
paintings in a tolerable state of pre
servation. These rooms are spacious ,
but very ill lighted. Nothing to c..t \ > j
bold here , but the wallers willingly loan
these who bring their meals from with
out nicked plates , forks with the prongs
broken oil , and knives rounded at the
point , the forks and hpives being thus
treated in order to protect the tables
from mutilation and pt'ovent , when a
quarrel breaks out , the opening of
"human buttonholes" in those bodies
which have almost nothing human
about them.
them.PAY
PAY IN ADVANCE.
The house is run by a superintendent ,
the proprietor appearing only to pocket
the receipts , which are always abun
dant. Hero everybody pays in advance ,
.nothing being delivered without the
money. The plane is the rendezvous of
the lowest bohemians of the people , the
special refuge of hundreds of idlers
practicing bhndy professions which the
correctional policecannotalways clolino.
You will see that some of these ragged
individuals , with visages reddened by
the abuse of drink , have airs of distinc
tion. Indeed , not a few of them arc ed
ucated men who have wasted fortunes in
gambling and dissipation ,
i When you go in you'will bo expected
to buy something , but you need not
drink it. Yon can leave it on the table ,
and the patrons of the house will fight
for it after your departure. Among
these patrons is the ox-Ulork of a notary.
Ho is a person of great erudition , and
invariably uses correct language. In
veterate habits of intoxication have
brought him down to his don. For a
glass of wine ho will put his knowledge
and services at the disposal of any ono.
It is ho who writes the applications for
admission to the hospitals , and at need ,
he fabricates false papers for rich pro
fessional mendicants. Ho has often
boon arrested for drunkenness , when
letters , written in gaod btylo and ad
dressed to wealthy notabilities , solicit-
their aid , have invariably been found
upon his person.
The women who frcqucnttho Chateau
Rouge can bettor bo imagined than do-
scribed. A little further away , in the
room at the back , are assembled the
criers , or rather tbo "Uarkors , " distrib
utors of newspapers , who howl the sen
sational news in every possible tone
the crime of yesterday , the robbery of
last night , the scandal of to-day , with
"curious , horrible nnd latest details. "
Beside them , loss numcroub , nro in
stalled the "ballad singers , " gutter
tcnoru , court yard baritones and cabaret
basbos , who toil seriously only on Mon
day , that Sunday of the working popu
lation.
Ono of the most peculiar characters
of the Chateau Rouge is the "deputy , "
who professes to bii a convict returned
from Noumea , where , by the way.ho has
never sot foot. His manner of operat
ing when strnngors are present is worth
following. Ho loans upon an enormous
stove and talks for drinkswhich , ho will
begin by ordering. After a look around
ho says :
.TIIK niU'UTY'S Sl'KHCII.
"Citi/cns , there are strangers among
us. They are welcome , Wo are all
brothers. It is a returned convict who
tells you so a returned convict who is
proud of his misfortunes. I invite you ,
citizens , to share with mo the wine of
friendship. Waiter , bring the wine
nnd glasses to tills stove , which shall bo
( the altar of fraternity.
"I don't ' ask you , citizen , whether you
belong in Paris , the country or foreign
lands , but I warn you .that I don't like
aristocrats. I. who spoalc to you , have
had the high honor of knowing Roche-
fort , that lion of exile a real brother.
Ho shared my lot ; wo ate together the
bitter broad of convicts. And ho was
not proud many times have I grasped
his hand. Lot us drink to him , citi-
/ons ! "
When the deputy speaks the estab
lishment will depart from its rule and
give credit to the strangers , but they
uro expected to pay for everything ho
orders before they leave , nnd ho will go
on ordering as long as they remain.
Another cabaret worthy of attention
ia the Marcho do la Regie , where as-
feomblo tile gatherers of cigar and ciga
rette stumps , ono of the thousand little
occupations of the low-grado Put-lalnm ) .
In the argot slang they are called the
gatherers of mogos. These individuals
who are seen walking along the ter
races of cafes , with eyes fixed upon the
ground , form a sort of n corporation of
considerable extent. When they meet
at the Muroho do la Regie the price of
their merchandise is fixed according as
the harvest has boon more or less fruit
ful.
Visiting the establishments wo penetrate -
trato into n small room tilled with
human beings , who nro seated in froiit
ot tables upon which each bus deposited
the product of his search of the day nnd
evening.
The chief ot the gatherers of megos
examines the harvest while distribut
ing the posts for tlio following day. In
his note-book nro sot dowh the dates of
the events which will attract the people
ple to such and such a point the wealthy
marriages , the important bilrlala , the
church fetes ; in fact all occurrences
nt which custom prohibits smoking.
The hours ot work vary according to
the place. The daily gain per man IB
about two francs. , One has , besides , the
opportunity to chow and smoke at will.
The general harvest is spread out on a
special table , Tlio best cigar stumps
nro selected first and marked nt from -0
to 25 centimes a bundle. The rest nro
put at 1U centimes n handful.
TUB nntCHASKIlS OF CIOAU STUMl'S.
Those who purchase cigar stumps are
mostly indigent old men and ncmly
workmen. The Marelio do la Regie IH
not tlio only establishment where the
gatherers of mogos assemble , but It is
ono of the most frequented.
The trade In tbo waste of cigars and
tobacco is not confined to the retail
line ; there are people in the wholesale
branch also. Tlio latter generally deal
with cafe waiters , who turn over to
them cigars almost wholn. Well cut
and neatly arranged , they are sold in
the workshops ot the faubourgs at from
2 to " , francs a bundle.
When strangers outer the March de
la Kegie no one pays the slightest at
tention to them , An opaque smoke pre
vents thorn from distinguishing persons
nnd things thrco paces distant ; a biting
nnd insupportable odor poisons the atmosphere -
mosphero and chokes one , whilst n thick
mist covers the panes of the window.
The cashier , quite a pretty girl , seems
to bo perfectly at ease in this vitiated
air.
air.All
All sorts of drinks nro sold bore , but
tlio establishment has a specialty
colTeo at 10 centimes a cup , 15 contimus
to the rich men of the place , who are
able to treat themselves to glasses of
the best champagne. This coiroo is
made from the refuse coming from the
great houses , which permits the vendor
to sell at a low price and yet make his
profit.
The scats is this establishment are
exceedingly primitive. They consist
merely of planks running along tlio ta
bles and nailed to stakes driven into
the floor , which is simply well-trodden
earth. This house was formerly a lodg
ing house where people slept on a litter
of straw rarely renewed. Placed like
horses in a stable , the bloopers wore
separated from each other by a rope
which limited the space to bo occupied
by each , As a measure of health one of
the prefects of police wiped out this
rope night lodging , the last ot its kind.
While if stranger Is in the Marcho do
la Regie during its occupation by the
gatherers of cigar and cigarette stumps
liis eyes will smart as it they had boon
rubbed with an onion , and when ho gets
outside the air of the street will seem
perfumed compared with that within
this curious establishment.

Ilontod With Swill.
A special dispatch to the World has
already told how n young man at St.
Paul , Minn , , the cousin of nn ox-presi
dent of the United States , was dutisod
with swill at Esdallo , Wis. , by the lady
he intended lo ninko Ills mother-in-
law. Further details of the catastrophe
are printed by the Chicago Herald , as
follows :
In the above named village resides L
M. Day ton with his family. Alice , n
girl seventeen or eighteen years old , is
the youngest girl , and she has won an
enviable local reputation for good looks ,
real or imaginary , as the case may bo.
Never was a mother's daughter in any
family thought more ol tnan Is younc
Alice.
Mrs. Dayton is not of a very philoso
phical turn of mind , nnd having forgot
ten the time when she herself was
young , has asusined the responsibility
of acting ai roforco In her daughter's
love matches. A short distance from
the Daytons lives John Sadder , n nice
young man , who has a large
farm and a bright future before
him. He is high up in society , and has
the hearts of many buxom country lassos
nt his command. John has for several
years boon paying marked attention to
Alice , the village belle , and tbo young
lady lias not been averse. Mr. and Mrs.
Dayton were unanimous in their opin
ion that John would make a model hus
band some day , and that any ono ought
to bo proud lo have such an illustrious
son-in-law.
Last fall Alice wont to St. Paul to
brush un a llttlo on etiquette nnd also
to take an unprejudiced , independent
and impartial peep at the world before
taking upon bcrt-olf the duties of mar-
ringo. At the niintly city Alice's de
votion lo John was bonio what obliterated
on her formingan acquainlnnco with an
accomplished young man who had just
finished his education to prepare for
the ministry. His social rank is above
thonvor.igo. IIo traces his genealogy
through Noah back to Adamand among
liis modern kinsmen ho boasts of an ex-
president of the United States as his
cousin.
When Alice returned to her homo
this bpring she had apparently left tlio
greater part of her heart with this St.
Paul gentleman and had taken along
with her a part ot his to restore the
cnuilibrium. As a result a very sweet
and voluminous correspondence between
the two opened its batteries on the
Ksdailo postollico , increased its reve
nues and raised it from the fourth class
to the third class standard.
Some time ago John Sadder , Alice's
first bcnu , "smelt a rat , " and the more
lie "smelt" the sadder lie grow. By
some means unknown ho managed to
keep posted on the fact whenever Alice
received a letter from her St. Paul
lover.
Finally John conld restrain himself
no longer , and going to his prospective
fcather-in-law ( though prospects for a
fathor-in-law were not very bright just
then ) ho informed him about the
matter. i
"Tho letters grow larger and longer ,
and there is more and more love in
tnem every time , " John complained ,
"and she receives so awfully many , too ; '
there must bo a screw loose some placo. "
At the suggestion of Mr. Dayton the
two repaired to the pontolllo to pass
judgment upon the situation , nnd to
'work up" tbo cabo.
"Any letter for Alice DaytonV" The
postmistress responded by delivering ;
a letter to the above address.
On boinfr opened what should bo
found but sixteen sheets of note paper ,
with clobely written pages , from her St.
Paul admirer. Then there were many
sweet passages on these pages , interwoven -
woven with poetry , nnd John became
desperately jealous when ho read them.
"There's " ho said ,
no use talking , i
"I'm for " and said
a goner sure , bomo
very uncomplimentary things about
the Capitol City youth. Mr. Dayton ,
however , assured the impatient lover
that ho had nothing to fear from
these quarters , as parental authority
kept vigil over Alice's heart and hand.
Returning homo Mr. Dayton wrote the
St. Paul lover about as follows : \J
Dear Sir : Wo being the parents of AHco
D.iyton , with whom you have so long corro- j
spondcd , it is nothing more than proper to
give you nn opportunity to visit us at your
earliest convenience and account to us for
thu contents of your letters to our daughter. ,
Respectfully , I. M. Duio.v AND Win : . |
The message had the desired effect.
Not many suns hail sol before the St.
Paul man stood at the Dayton rcsi-
donco and knocked at the door for ad
mission , lie was'iudcod a nice young
man and ho bore umnihtakablo signs ot
culture and refinement imprinted on
bis silk hat , spike-tailed coat and a
patent shirt front. IIo were kid gloves ,
lee , and , although this custom is not
strictly adhered to among farm hands
in the rural districts , who can bin mo
him therefor , when ho came witli the
serious intention of being ofTorod in
marriage the hand of Miss Alicc'i1
The young man was cordially re-
reived by Alice , but had. the follow
known how the vials of Mrs. Day ton'u
wrath in a most literal sense were to bo
poured upon him lie would rather have
Jet Alice and all go to the doga than to
have remained.
While the two were enjoying them
selves in the parlor as bust they could
Mrs. Dayton appeared in thu door.
Glovosl 'Swallow-tail coat ! Plug hut !
Oh , what noiihonsol That follow could
not plough a furrow or husk a bushel of
corn no matter how hard ho tried !
These sentences Hashed in rapid suc
cession through her mind , and before
the unfortunate victim know what was
transpiring this modern Xantippe had.
unshed n pailful of swill and
sour buttermilk into his face and
nock and all over his dress suit.
To say that the poor follow was morll-
flcd , thunderstruck and dumbfounded is
only putting it mildly for the lack of
stronger expressions. He rushed out ,
began to clean up a little at the pump ,
but Intro tlio girl's brother appeared
upon the scone nnd invited the dibtln-
guislicd guest to make himself scarce
immediately or to bo made scarce. IIo
accepted the latter , and was very un-
coremonlmibly escorted off. the premises
nt the end of a big stick. Alice , whoin
her bewilderment had run upstairs on
seeing this , leaped from a bocond-story
window to her lover's assistance , but in
vain. Siio was ulpiobt frantic , and waa
tied with n rope to keep her homo ,
Thu ox-prosident'H coubin did nothing
