INDUSTRY IS OF RECENT GROWTH

by Thoaaaada.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (Special Corre
spondence.) The recent attack by Russians
on a fleet of trawl fishermen in the North
sea has resulted In attracting much atten
tion to n ilass of producers of which our
own country knows but little. The trawl
fishermen of Kugland furnish qnlte half of
the total product of the nation's fisheries
and they do their work In expensively con
structed steam trawlers that patrol the
seas day In and day out, year In and year
out, from Hull to Norway. These fisher
men ore an exceedingly sturdy class of
people who ply their trade In all winds
and weathers and are looked upon as part
of the backbone of Britain. Wo have with
us a certain class of fishermen following
the sea from Gloucester to Hatteras. They
are the fishermen who supply the Bos
ton, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Washington and Norfolk markets with blue
fish, cod, sea trout, rock bass and flounders.
Cut their equipment and their trawls-are
In no wise to be compared to the steam
trawls of England.
Some of the vessels that buffet the waves
on the North sea through weeks of winter
storms are not equipped with refrigerating
plants. But the big concerns interested In
supplying the British Isles with fresh fish
look after these smaller trawlers, take up
their catch and Immediately put them in
their refrigerators on board these trawlers.
Cruising everywhere In the North sea are
huge refrigerating ships, powerful enough
to cross- the Atlantic In the teeth of the
fiercest gale and capable of carrying en
ormous tonnage of fish in their cold-storage
compartments. Into these refrigerating
plants the small trawler dumps hia catch,
remaining at sea month after month, or as
long as the fish run, settling up at the sea
son's end.
Growth of Recent Yeara.
But the trawling Industry, as now car
ried on. Is only tho growth of the last
fifteen years. Before that time the .fisher
men went to sea In a sailing vessel, the
use of steam having been confined to the
ocean going tugs and great steamships
plying between American., ports, the. At
lantic, the Pacific and other world harbors.
In UU2 the English trawler all ready for
service cost but $3,1)00 and not-moro than
1,000 of them could be found In English
waters; but suddenly the English railroads
awoke to the faot that there would be an
Immense profit for them In a- refrigerating
car Service that would give London and
all the big inland cities plenty of fresh
fish every dny. With the advent of the
refrigerating car the English trawling In
dustry sprang Into greai favor. In 1S93
the total product of the North sea fleet
was valued at 113,000,000, and ship builders
all over England were busy In the con
struction of larger trawlers and, as de
mands have grown larger, larger vessels
are being constructed to systematically
handle the Increasing output. Most of the
trawling is now dona in the southern half
of the North sea, but the oldest trawling
grounds are along the Devonshire coast
where the men Brlxham worked at the
net more than 100 years ago. Portsmouth
U a monster trawling station,. the number
of Mm trawler having quadrupled within
the last twenty -five years. The . men of
this town, howirver, are content to go to
sea every morrilhg and return with- their
catch 'ieach night; But from Hull' fleets
of steam trawlers put out Into therNorth
sea to. be gone for weeks. FlftJCyears
ago there were not more than 'a,-'dozen
small trawlers operating from Hull. They
prospered, however, and the possibilities
of this Industry becoming known, hun
dreds of people are now engaged In the
trawling business, Hull heading the list of
English trawling stations.
liilike Torpedo Boats.
And It was into the midst of this fleet
that tho Russians, frightened by tho
formidable character of the vessels, hurled
their deadly projectiles which for several
days gave promise of bringing about
strained relations with England. In this
connection It may be said that the Eng
lish trawler looks no more like a torpedo
boat, for which the Russians now say they
took the Hull fleet, than a oow looks like
a camel.
The beam trawl, which Is used both In
England and In our own Atlantic waters,
la a triangular, flat, purs e-shaped net, with
Its wide mouth kept open by a horizontal
wooden spar, called the beam. These nets
are of prodigious else end are worked by
powerful tackle and steam engine. They
are lowered Into the water to a proper
depth, where they remain for hours while
the vessel steams ahead at full speed. Into
the net the fish are swept by thousands.
Th weight of the struggling prisoners Is
enormous, but the net holds, and after
the net Is full It is hoisted Into the hold
of the vessel, where the catch Is sepa
rated, being thrown Into the refrigerator.
When the vessel Is loaded it steams to Hull
or Portsmouth, to Liverpool or Ramsgate,
whence the catch Is' distributed all over
England. It Is estlmsted that there are
600 vessels of the trawler class systemat
ically fishing the North sea. These ves
sels are tinder the supreme command of one
of the best known fishermen, who la called
sn admiral, and It was the admiral of the
Hull fleet who made application to the
British admiralty for reparation and dam
ages front the Russians.
Oscar J. Rlcketts Is the foreman of print
ing In the government printing office. That
Is equivalent to saying that he Is, next to
the public printer, the most Important man
In that great printing establishment. Mr.
Rlcketts was for several years the private
secretary to Mr. Palmer and he Is thor
oughly conversant with all the details of
the work in the establishment. 'Last win
ter,' acting under the authority of an act
of congress, Mr. Palmer made a contract
for the Installation of a number of Mer
gonthaler typesetting machines. These ma
chines are used In every great newspaper
office In the country except In that of the
New York Sun. It appears that the Sun
Is opposed to the Mergenthaler. and that Is
probably tho base of the attack which the
paper which shlnos for all recently made
upon Mr. Rlcketts. It charged, In a dis
patch from St. Louis, that Mr. Rlcketts,
as one of the Board of Awards on Printing
Appliances at the World's fair, wis Im
properly Influenced In favor of the Mergen
thaler machine. It also charged that Mr.
Rlcketts circulated the report that he Is to
succeed Mr. Palmer as public printer after
March next.
As soon as this dUpatch waa called to
the attention of Mr. Rlcketts he Indignantly
denied the charges. Now he has insti
tuted a suit for Ultti ags:ast the Bun,
claiming damages 'to the amount of 1100.000
Mr. Rlcketts has the entire confidence of
all members of congress, as well as the
administration. He proposes to push his
suit to an ' early trial. ( . .
For Hatloaal Exhibit Bulldlag.
Commissioner West Is agitating the sub
ject of bringing the United States govern
ment building at the St. Louis fair to
Washington as a permanent building and
to be ud aa wue of the attractions of the
espttol city. A further suggestion la line
with his own and which he heartily en
dorses, has been mnile by a well known
cUiin, who suggests that not only the
building should be moved here, but that
the various exhtbs be replaced In the
building. It Is a fact that the Lltors to
Washington are usually pushed for time
and therefore canno( fee all the show places
of the city. If the best of the Smith
sonian Institution, the National museum,
the patent office and the Navy department
could bo gathered Into such a building It
would become one of the most attractive
places In the country. Of course the rep
resentatives of these departments might
object to establishing their exhibits in
some permanent place other than the sev
eral departments, but the suggestion is
meeting with general commendation and
if congress can be interested the transfer
of ths building. It Is believed, will be
brought about It is thought that the en
tire transfer of building and exhibit would
not cost, more than KO.OW, which would be
money most Judiciously spent.
MOVING FOR PEACE
(Continued from First Paga.)
vldual governments. The final act of The
Hague conierence, dated July 29, Itffll, kept
this distinction clenny in signt. AnioiiK
the broader general questions affecting the
right and Justice of the relation of sov
ereign states, which were then relegated
to a future conference, were:
The rights and dunes of neutrals; the
Inviolability of private property in naval
warfare and the bombardment of ports,
towns and villages by a naval force.
The other matters mentioned In the final
act take the form ot suggestions for con
sideration by interested governments.
Large Field for Labor.
The three points mentioned cover a large
field. The rtrst especially, touching the
rights and duties of neutrals. Is of universal
Importance. Its rightful disposition affects
the Interests and well belnir of all the
world. The neutral Is something more than
an onlooker. His acts of omission or com
mission may have an Influence Indirect, but
tangible on a war actually in progress,
whilst oft the other hand he may suffer
from the exigencies of the belligerents. It
is this phase of warfare which deeply con
cerns the world at large. Efforts have been
made, time and again, to formulate rules
of action applicable to Its more material
aspects, as In the declarations of Paris. As
recently ns April 28 of this year
the congress of the United States adopted
a resolution reading thus:
"Resolved. By the senate and house of
representatives of the United Btates of
America, in congress assembled:
"That It Is the sense of the eongrcs of
the United Slates that it is desirable. In
the Interest of uniformity of action by the
maritime stales of the world in time of
war that the president endeavor to bring
about an understanding among the principal
maritime powers with a view of incorpo
rating into the permanent law of civilized
nations the prlhciplo of the exemption of
all private property at sea, not contraband
of war; from capture or destruction by bel
ligerents. "Approved April 28, 1901."
Other matters closely affecting the rights
of neutrals are: The distinction to be made
between absolute and conditional contra
band of war, and the Inviolability of the of
ficial and private correspondence ot neu
trals. Duties of eutrnls.
As for the duties of neutrals toward the
belligerent, the field- is scarcely less broad.
One aspect deserves mention from the
prominence It has acquired during recent
times, namely, the treatment due to refu
gee belligerent ships In neutral ports.
It may also le desirable to consider and
adopt a proceedure by which states non
Signatory to the original acts of The Hague
conference may become adhering parties.
Vou will explain to his excellency, the
minister of foreign affairs, that the pres
ent overture for a second conference to
complete the postponed work of the first
conferenc la not designed to supersede
other calls for the consideration of fpe
cial topics, such as the proposition of the
government of the Netherlands, recently
Issued, to assemble for the purpose of
amending the provisions of the existing
Haguo convention with respect to hospital
ships. Like all tentative conventions, that
one is open to change in the light of prac
tical experience and the fullest deliberation
Is desirable to that end.
Finally, you will state the president's
desire and hopo that tho undying mem
ories Which cUng uHiund The..Hague as
the crsdle. of the beneficent woriewhlch had
its hegtnnli.g in 1S99 may be "strengthene

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. 30. tSpeclal.) Lancaster
county will be afire with politics the com
ing week and In every part of the county
the apathetic voter will be sotigni ui
forced to come out In the open and take
some Interest in affairs. The republicans
an far have rnnflned most Of their meet
lugs to the outlying districts, but this
week the work will be done In the larger
towns and In Lincoln. These outlying
meetings have been well attended and con
siderable Interest has been worked up, but
the meeting st Havelock last night was a
revelation. It Is expected during the com
ing week to duplicate It here. Lincoln pol
iticians want Norrls Brown to analyse the
revenue law here as he did at HaveiocK.
Both Governor Mickey and Norrls Brown
made great hits In the shop town and
their sneeches did not fall to ronvinc.
Aside from the good meat In his argu
ment, Mr. Brown told a number oi amus
ing stories fllii.trntlnr his DOlntS, Which
kept the audience In an uproar. His ref
erence to E. M. Searle, candidate ror auu
itor, who could not be present, brought
down, the house. He said:
"I have Just been out In Keith county
campaigning and I can tell you that Keith
county has more broad sky In It than any
other county In the state. Ed Bearle was
born out there Just thirty-three years ago.
When I look nt oil that broad expanse of
sky and think what It must have been
thirty-three years ago, I am ready to tnke
my hat off to Ed Searle, for any boy who
had the nerve to go to such a place thirty
three years ago to have himself born cer
tainly has plenty of neve nnd deserves
any office In the gift Of the people of Ne
braska." The speaker made a hit with his audi
ence when he began to speak by saying:
".There are two places In the world where
I enjoy myself. One Is at home nnd the
other Is away from home. Right now I
am so close to both places I am supremely
happy."
Mr. Brown, during his speaking tour, has
won the reputation of being the best cam
paigner the republicans hnve on the stump
and more Lancaster county people want to
hear him. For that reason It Is now the
Intention to pull off a rousing rally In
Lincoln before election, wth the next at
torney general as the principal speaker.
Answers a Question.
While Mr. Brown was reviewing the
Mickey administration and telling of the
condition of the state Institutions,' some ons
In the audience piped out, "What did he
hang Rhea for?"
A number of voices demanded that the
owner of the voice be suppressed, but Mr.
Brown answered, "I am glad you asked
that question, I want to answer It.
"This young man, Rhea, with revolvers
In his hands walked Into a saloon In Dodge
county, where a number of men were
standing around; . walked up to them,
pointed his guns at them and said, 'Hands
up.' Every man held up his hands except
one old -German, 60 years old. No one
thought the young man would shoot, but
he did. He shot down that old German and
as his dead body 'struck the floor, he
kicked It In the faae and then the young
man went through ,ihe dead man's pockets
and robbed him. A trial was had and a
Jury sentenced him, to be hanged. The
caBe was appealed, to the supreme court
and the decision of .the lower court was af
firmed. Rhea had some Influential friends
and relatives It, was thought through
these the governor could be reached. Let
ters were written to Governor Mickey by
the governor of Indiana and by a senator
from Indiana and by Senator Stone and
other prominent men In Missouri. Feeling
probably that these influences would not
be sufficient prominent Nebraska repub
licans and democrats of Nebraska were
brought into the affair and they tried to
Influence Governor Mickey. The case was
reviewed at length. Governor Mickey said
'here Is the law. The courts have passed
on the case and the law must be enforced.'
Some of the men who sought to Influence
Governor Mickey to grant that purdon are
now occupying prominent places on the
mourners' bench In the Berge camp. Would
you have a governor who decides ques
tions for himself or have a governor who
allows the politicians to do his thinking."
By its prolonged cheers the audience ex
pressed Itself In favor of the former.
The fuslonists, too, intend to do a stunt
here this week and it is probable that
George W. Berge will get another run for
his money before a Lincoln audlsnoe. This
end of the political fight has held few
meetings in the county, but intend to wind
up tho week with a whirlwind campaign
that they claim will make things decidedly
Interesting.
Traveling Mrs Come Oat.
The Traveling Men's Republican club,
which has been advertised extensively dur
ing the campaign by fusion papers as be
ing opposed to Governor Mickey's re-election
and the election of A. Galueha to the
office of secretary of state, has at lost set
at rest the question of its position in the
campaign. Last night at an executive
meeting held at the Lincoln hotel the club
adopted a resolution endorsing Governor
Mickey's administration and pledging him
the support of the club for re-election. The
resolution also endorsed A. Oalusha and
the remainder of the republican state
ticket. A second resolution, Introduced by
Cal Diamond, late president of the club,
endorsed President . Roosevelt and Fair
banks. Cal Diamond and George Slmpklns,
former game warden under Governor Sav
age, lead the fight against Governor
Mickey and It Is said five votes were se
cured against the resolution endorsing his
candidacy.
At a meeting of the same club a week
ago an attempt was made to pull off a
coup and endorse Berge and Watske, fusion
candidates, but so badly were the antls
routed that Cal Diamond, the president,
resigned his position.

new revenue law being a railroad law has
been exploded to a nicety In this county
and It simply takes their breath away. For
Instance, It is shown by the records that
everybody except the railroads and banks
In this county pay less tax by SO pef cent
under the new law than under the old law,
while the railroads and banks In this
county pay an Increased tax In the county
amounting to 67 per cent raise In valua
tion. This, of course. Is largely accounted
for because of the large railroad mileage In
Holt county, but before the fuslonists
found out the effect of the new law locally
they had pledged their candidates to the
legislature to repeal the new revenue law.
Now when they are confronted by the rec
ords they are rflmply dumbfounded snd at
a loss to know what to do to be saved, but
from the way the people are up In arms
against a repeal of the revenue law there
appears to be no salvation for them, and
after making a thorough canvass of the
county Judge Williams does not hesitate to
predict republican success In Holt county.
"The local candidates are all able men
of the best the county possesses and the
condition being ripe, they are making the
most of a good opportunity," said Judge
Williams when he returned from Chambers
today. "Yes, this is a great year for re
publicanism and every place I go I. see
evidences of republican progress. Your
Mr. Coats Is a straightforward, honest man
and the people who have been deceived by
the fusion fallacies have confidence that
Mr. Coats has done good work for your
county and I feel sure they will return
him to the legislature. Mr. Green Is mak
ing a fine campaign. He Is better liked as
he becomes better known. Dr. Gllllgan and
Judge Benedict are both men of the high
est Integrity and I am glad to have an op
portunity to take part In a campaign with
these gentlemen. I had no Ideu. until I
came here that you had such a good oppor
tunity to wrest Holt county from the fu
sion grap. During my canvass of the
county I have had several men come to me
and tell me they were against us before,
but are with us now and proud of It. They
feel that the republicans are progressive
and do things."
"What do you notice among the people
as to Roosevelt and Klnkold?" the Judge
was asked.
"As to thst. It Is -very peculiar. Every
direct reference to Roosevelt Is quickly met
with a' hearty response,' and KlnkSId seems
to be the Idol of the people, so far as I can
observe. Democrats have told me that they
will support both of these men, and do It
with gladness and pride In their work, and
then, of course. In my talk I have tried
to show our friends of all parties. In a
kindly way, that If we are desirous of hav
ing Roosevelt fight the battle for the people
for another four years and If we vote for
him because we know he will stand by the
people and give us a business administra
tion, then It is up to us as reasonable men
to send men to Washington who will sup
port him In his great work "of administra
tion; we must do this or we shall defeat
our own purpose In voting for him. Tho
effect of this Is to convince the Independent
voter, the honest man and there are thou
sands of this kind of men among the people
who ordinarily oppose the republican party
that it Is his bounden duty to vote for
the candidates of our party for the state
house and Senate so that they may send
to the United States senate a man who will
stand by the great Roosevelt, and e refer
ence to "our Teddy" as In many respects
our greatest president brings forth hearty
applause from republicans, democrats and
populists. Thi la very significant and I
expect to see some of the greatest sur
prises In the vote. The honest men In those
parties are not longer to be deceived by
the leaders, they are afraid to risk another
mixup such as we had eight years ago, they
are being treated fairly by our people, they
have lost any resentment they may have
had because prosperity has broadened
their hearts, and, though saying nothing,
they are in a spirit to give a great vote
to our exceptionally clesn and competent
candidates from this couhty.
"The farmers tell me they can get" nearly
13 now for the same amount of grain, ete.,
that they got only $1 for eight years ago.
The farmers think and you may expect
them to vote for prosperity and for honest
men who will not deceive them Into dis
aster and buslnes uncertainty."

REPLY TO ATTACK OS MICKEY
Governor's Former Pastors Testify to His
Character.
DESCRIBE HIM AS SINCERE AND KIND
i
Charges Made by Rev. Charles W.
Bavlda-o Aro Berated by Those
Whoso Posltloa Compels
Atteatloa.
Below are published letters from two
former pastors of Governor Mickey. They
are written In response to a recent sermon
of Rev. Charles W. Savldge, who from ths
pulpit of the People's chureh delivered a
virulent attack on the present chief execu
tive of the state. Mr. Savldge was not
ashamed to declare that Governor Mickey
was a hypocrite and a modern Bhylock.
Those who have good reason to be well In
formed whereof they speak describe him
as charitable and generous, sincere and
straightforward.
Rev. A. B. Whltmer writes:
CLAY CENTER, Kan., Oct. 2S.-I am In
receipt of the Omaha Dally World-Herald
of the 24th Inst., In which an attack on
Governor Mickey made by Rev. C. AV.
Savldge la published. The surprising thing
about tho attack Is not that Rev. Mr.
Savldge found that Governor Mickey had
his faults, (for none but the Natarene Is
without fault) but that a minister of tho
gospel should make such an uncharitable
attack purely on hearsay evidence and
that In the face of the teachings of Jesus,
who said: "Judge not, that ye be not
Judged. For with what Judgment ye
Judge, ye shall be Judged: and with what
measure ye mete. It shall be measured
to you again."
To keep this law Is to evidence a great
mastery. To call a man a hyocrlte is an
easy thing to do, but It Is a fearful thing
to do nevertheless. I shall be greatly dis
appointed If Governor Mickey does not
manifest mors of tho real spirit of the
Master when he reads the attack than
Brother Savldge showed when he made
the attack. Can Brother Savldge make
oath to a single statement he has mado?
I wish Brother Savldge had gone to Os
ceola to search out the noble deeds and
charitable acts of Governor Mickey in
stead of the sore spots, for I am sure he
could have satisfied himself abundantly.
I was Governor Mickey's pastor for three
years covering the period of that awful
scourge the drouth. Men's souls were
tried then and I had a splendid opportunity
to see and know that man.
I recall many experiences with pleasure.
Let me namo a few: Mr. Mickey put up
his finger In his characteristic way and
said: "Brother Whitmer, whenever you
find a person suffering with hunger or cold,
draw on me, and this Is good for all win
ter." I took him at his word and could
tell Brother Savldge of some most touch
ing incidents where prayer, for help, was
answered (through Brother Mickey's bank)
that I have ever known. Some of the par
ties are still living In Nebraska and the
cases too delicate to publish broadcast. I
can name young men who were fitted out
with new suits of clothes so they could
attend church and Sunday school. I think
I can find a preacher and his family who
were tided over the winter by this same
J. H. Mickey, and should Brother Savldge
be in distress no one would hurry to his
relief quicker than the accused. Indeed, I
do not recall a single appeal that ever came
to Mr. Mlckeyv In vain. I could go on In
definitely with such cases, but will content
myself with one other. A certain man
whose business was almoBt wholly gone and
he on the verge of despair, was visited
again and again by Mr. Mickey with the
amurance that he would be tided over the
crisis, and Mr. Mickey and I stood by
this man, by agreement, to save him from
utter despair and a possible death. Should
Mr. Savldge visit me, I could satisfy him
or any other man that J. H, Mickey car
ries a tender heart and had I made such
an attack on any man I could not havo
peace until I had his forgiveness.
As to Mr. Mickey's "being 'n the way
of a revival" It Is barely posible he may
have objected to Brother Savldge's method.
This I do know, that during a six weeks'
revival effort when 100 were converted no
man was more loyal and helpful than
Brother Mickey. He seldom missed n
meeting, and during the three years of my
pastorate was loyUl to all the Interests of
the church.
Rev. Mr. Savldge Is personally known to
me, having visited my home and prayed
with us. I am sad for his sake, as well
as for Mr. Mickey's, that such an unfair
and unchristian attack was ever made,
(Signed A. B. WHITMER.

Hon. John H. Mickey, the present gov
ernor of this state, slnoe 1888. At that time
