ANGLERS MUSTBE CAREFUL
Scotch Law Strict and Strangers Mar
Be Fined for Careless
Action.
GLASGOW, April 13. (Special.) Ths
opening of the angling season of 1907 has
been marked by several circumstances of
great Interest to anglers In general. In
the one case trout fishing and In ths
other case salmon fishing are more par
ticularly affected. The action taken by
the riparian proprietors of the Tweed In
closing their waters was received with
something akin to consternation by the
get-eral public. Nor Is it surprising that
the suddenness of the step gave rise at
first to a certain amount of Irresponsible
criticism concerning the hard hearted
landlords. However, on behalf of the pro
prietors It Is urged that they certainly have
all of the legal rights on their side. The
right to fish, It Is conceded, belongs ex
clusively to them, and so far as the public
are concerned, any trout fishing hitherto
enjoyed has been exercised as a privilege
and not as a right. On behalf of the land
lords It Is claimed that It Is their desire
to protect their properties from the rapacity
of the poacher.
Another circumstance affects Loch Ness.
It has been maintained In many quarters
that an attempt Is being made by the pro
prietors of Loch Ness to deprive the public
of the rlsht of salmon fishing In a public
loch. The question appears to bo whether
where there are several proprietors as In
the case of Loch Ness they have the right
to pool their issues or rights and impose
such terms as they may choose. This was
pretty clearly demonstrated a few days
ago In a decision given In an Inverness
sheriff court. One of the Loch Ness regula
tions Is that the anglers may fish from
registered boats only, which Implies, of
course, that tho owner of the boat has paid
the tariff Imposed by the association for
the right to fish. A local hotel put six
angling boats on the loch at the opening
of the season, only two of which were
registered, and a Glasgow angler, who In
all good faith occupied one of the un
registered boats, had the 111 luck to be
made tho scapegoat of a prosecution. With
out going Into details, It Is sunk-lent to
note that he was convicted of the offense
of fishing without a title, or wlthou the
permission of those who had a title. The
moral Is said to be that any person fish
ing for salmon or sea trout In a loch
without competent permission is In the
eyes of the law a salmon poacher, and
anglers will do well to see that where
restrictions are In force they are duly ob
served. The hundreds of American tourists
who are expected to visit Scotland this
season will do well to take notice of these
and other decisions since It Is persons who
are strangers to some of these local regu
lations and customs who are most likely to
be apprehended.

LAMONI, la.. April 13. (Special) Be
tween 300 and 400 ministers, or those
holding the priesthood of the Reorganized
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Balnta, besides ths many delegates, are
In attendance at the annual conference
of that organisation, now in session hero.
A peculiar feature of the ministry of this
church and one which at once attracts the
attention and Interest of nonmembers is
that they are an unsalaried body of men.
The saints have peculiar ideas on church
finances and on of their peculiarities la
that on who devotes himself to the propa
gation of their church tenents and to the
development of the church in spiritual
matters should not b put on the basis of
a salary, or In other words, the motive
animating the minister should not be that of
gain, bene lie Is not salaried. He la
supposed to work for the love of tho
work and the Institution of which he is
a part.
W"hen atnan enters the field of mission
ary vrk for this people he Is p'aoed tipon
what Is termed an allowanoe, which allow
ance is (Oven to his family for their sup
port. TT.v allowance Is determined by tho
sire of tV- family and Is supposed to be
Just sufficient to meet the needs of the
family in average conditions. Indeed. It
Is a nvii'ler of surprise to those who know
what this allowance Is that the elders'
families can get along on the amount al
lowed. The highest family allowance In
the missionary force would perhupa not
f-o over 150 or 155 per month, and this
means that the minister has a specially
large family.
The ministers themselves are dependent
for their expenses upon the generosity or
liberality of the people among whom they
labor. The traveling minister asks no
compensation for services rendered, simply
takes what may be handed to htm and
renders account to the genera bishop for
very penny received. Should he fall to
receive from those among whom ha labors
sufficient for his Immediate needs, then be
rails upon the bishop or Ms agents for
money to tide over affairs.
Tha "local congregations, except In rare
Instance, pay their pastor no salary. lit
gets his support from the general treasury,
so far as his family is con corned, and gets
hie own needs supplied In ths same way
as the traveling missionary. Ths congrega-
J
Hon pays Its part of church support di
rectly into the general treasury, and In
turn expects the general treasury to supply
them with their spiritual needs. All the
local officers of the branch serve gratis.
Naturally, a people who pay their minis
try upon this basts have peculiar Ideas In
regard to financial and Industrial matters,
and so has this people. Their beliefs on
this line are not fully in practice yet, for
the scheme as outlined, frogmentarily at
least In some of their church books, has
not beesi fully put into effect, but will
require a considerable effort along spiritual
lines to prepare the people for the peculiar
conditions. Tha salnta believe that all the
members should labor on exactly the same
basis aa the ministry are now laboring,
that Is, that every man in return for tha
labor rendered In whatever Una It may
be shall have his needs and the needs
of his family supplied and alt the Income
as fruit of his labor above thin amount
shall be turned Into the church treast.uX
there to be used by those in. need or for
the development of community Interests.
According to this theory of financial or
Industrial affairs, the bishops of the church
shall establish what are termed "atore
house," lnlo which the superabundance
of the community shall pour, to be taken
out and used for those who have not and
for tha development of community affairs
or Interests. In ether words, the store
houses shall bo In effect community In
dustrial clearing houses Into which from
that portion of the community which has
an overabundance shall be poured of their
temporal blessing tliat other portions in
need because of untoward conditions, ca
lamities or even Inefficiency shall be per
mitted to draw to supply their needs.
Comma ii la in In Chnrrh.
Their beliefs are Ideal, and whether they
can be made practicable and put into effect
by this strange people' remains for them
to demonstrate to the world. One of the
objects of their gathering to their center
place la to put into effect these peculiar
industrial laws.
At tho head of this financial or industrial
department of the church stands one of
the unique characters of the church, Bishop
E. L. Kelley, new a resident of Independ
ence, Mo., but for many years a resident
of Iowa. ' Bishop Kelley is a graduate of
the University of Iowa in Its collegiate
department, not many years after Its
founding, and In 1373 graduated from the
law department of the same Institution,
being a clussmate of Judge Emlln Me
dal n of tha supreme beneh of Iowa. This
man's energies and time for many years
now have been given to the church on
the terms which the belief of the saints
demand from all their ministers. He has
given up a remunerative law practice, de
voting his energies to ths development of
the financial affairs of the church, and
haa his family supported for his labor
and his expenses met.
Besides this burden of caring for the
elders' families, the heads of which are
devoting their time to ministerial work,
the bishop, either directly or through his
agents (of which he has hundreds through
out tho world; renders aid to many lndl-
SHIP LINES ADJUST TROUBLE
Rates from Europe to India May Ad
vance na Result of
Agreement.
BERIJN, April 13.-(Speclal.)-After a
conflict which has lasted for more than
two years there Is news of tho termination
of the freight war between the Hansa
Steamship company of Bremen and two
of the leading British steamship companies
the Peninsular & Oriental and tho British
India. No formal announcement of the
terms of the settlement has been made.
Indeed, there U still some doubt as to Just
what Is going to happen.
This dispute has more especially centered
around the port of Antwerp. Tho Hansa
company and the two British lines men
tioned formerly had an agreement under
which, among other things, the shipment
of cargoes from the Belgian ports to India
was the subject of regulation. The Ger
man company put forward the view that
us a large part of the goods coming to
Antwerp for shipment to India were drawn
from South Germany It had special claims
to consideration, and that the Peninsular
& Oriental and British India companies
by the frequency of their sailings had
broken the agreement. They therefore
withdrew from it two years ago. On the
other hand, the British lines concerned saw
in the action of the German company what
they regarded as an attempt to treat Ant
werp aa a German port, whereas In their
opinion It partakes of a neutral character.
Both British companies since the conflict
broke out have enforced their right to
snnd their steamers to Antwerp when they
pleased, while tho Hansa company, by
way of reprisal, has sent shirs to load at
British ports. Freight rates have been
cut to a very fine point and goods have
for a long time past been carried to India
at more or less nominal figures. From
time to time there have been rumors of
a settlement of the quarrel, but there are
so many sides to the dispute that It Is dif
ficult to adjust all differences.
INDIA FEARS YELLOW PERIL
Calcutta Pioneer Says a Clash Will
Come Between Chines
and Indiana.
CALCUTTA, April 13. (Special.) Ths
Pioneer hero Is sounding tho yellow peril"
alarm In a new fashion. In a striking
article on India's danger points the Pioneer
considers at some length me possibility of
the extension of Chinese Influence in Asia.
It Is probable this newspaper thinks thut
this may take place by a process of grad
ual Infiltration of traders and settlers Into
adjacent countries, rather than by reason
of any great warlike movement.
Bays the Pioneer: "Perhaps the greatest
test of British capacity for governing the
darker hued races will come when the pres
sure of the yellow bejrlns to be felt by tha
brown, and possibly, also, resented by
them. It will be the task of statesman
ship to reconcile whatever conflicts of In
terest may arise, and to train the brown
races so that they may be able to defend
their rights not merely by force of arms,
which may never be necessary, but by
mjucllly and superiority of capacity for
the industrial rivalries and conflicts which
sro likely to be the chief feature of the
anticipated Invasion. Simply stated, It Is
not ths task of the British or of any other
government to raise up artificial barriers
against tho natural. Indeed, tho inevitable
movements of population, but to prevent
the people being violently disturbed by
Incursions which seek to change the sources
and tho forms of government, not for the
benefit of India or to make room for race
expansion, but In order that a power which
bas dons nothing to create the wealth of
the Indies may draw a large percentage of
the profits thereof."
DIAMO.NL:-r"rcuxr, UUi and UoJge.
DUBLIN, April 13. (Speclal.)-The great
est Interest Js being taken In the subject
of the Irish-grown tobacco. Interviewed
upon tba subject, Nugent T. Evciard of
Randlestown, Navan County Meath, said
among other things:
"It is not generally known thaCTWr. Red
mond's Irish tobacco bill haa for Its repeal
the arts passed as long ago as the reign of
Charles II. The nature of these acts al
most surpasses belief during these latter
days. The first of these acts Imposed a
penalty of $1,600 per statuto acre on tha
man who, greatly dating, cultivated tobacco
In Ireland. The second art added onto this
a further penalty of $8,000. The first pen
alty had been found insufficient. The Celt
of that era was evidently as obstinate as
at any later period In his history, and
once set going In any direction only his
complete ruin and cfTacement seemed effica
cious. It was surmised and rightly that a
penalty of HO.OnO per statute acre would
have this effect, and that the profits from
Illicit cultivation would hardly permit many
broaches of the law. Of course, these acts
would have been repealed long, long ago If
it had been believed that any tobacco of
really good quality could be grown In
Ireland, and that tobacco cultivation would
be developed Into a profitable Industry
affording all tho year round employment to
thoes engaged in it.
"I have Just received two letters which
will show that Ireland can produce tobacco
of the best Quality. The first extract Is
from a letter written by Mr. C. D. Camp
bell of Louisville, who Is one of the larg
est rehandlers of tobacco In the United
States. Ho says: 'It was most Interesting
to me to see your tobacco, and I can only
say your progress In the last twelve months
has been wonderful. As you know, I seo
a large quantity of tobacco In process
of curing and handling In America, and I
believe I can truthfully say your crop
at this stage will compare with the average
crop at the same period In Kentucky most
favorably. Having seen what I have, I
confess I shaJl watch with even greater
Interest tha future developments.'
' Tobacco of American Trpe.
"The second letter was written by Mr.
F. F. A. Goodwin of the firm of Edwards.
Goodwin & Co., one of the largest leaf
brokers in Liverpool, who says In a letter
dated the th of April: 'With reference to
the tobacco grown on your own and neigh
boring estates, which I had the pleasure
of examining In your barn lost week, I
beg to say that up to then I shared the
Impression which appears to bo general,
that the climate of Ireland w-aa too moist
and too deficient In sunshine to admit of
anything but very Indifferent or common
tobacco being raised there. I was surprised,
however, to find that you had succeeded in
producing several types of the weed of a
considerable standnrd of excellence In par
ticular a dark fired leaf which you called
"Lizard Tall" a dark Pryor leaf arid a Red
Burley, whilst a very short and very wiry
Usht colored Burley, which you showed
me, seemed to have geat possibilities. You
have certainly proved (presuming 1906 to
have been a not unduly favorable season)
that it Is possible to grow several classes
of merchantable tobacco of American types
In Ireland.'
"I have much similar correspondence
from experts, and have received personally
many statements from them to the same
effect. Tobacco can be grown of a good
quality In Ireland, and I, aa the largest
cultivator amongst those permitted to ex
periment In Ireland, affirm confidently that
there Is no doubt In a few years that a
very considerable Industry could be estab
lished here."
Homes of Poor Horrible.
There Is no denying the importance and
urgency of the sanitary committee's re
port which was read at a recent meeting
of the Kingstown urban council. It deals
with the homes of the poor in the district
and discloses a condition of affairs which
can bo described by no milder word than
horrible. For this condition the report
fastens at least a prima facie responsibility
j on the lords of the soil. "As you are
aware," the report runs, "the heaviest and
I the most tedious portions of the labors of
I the Public Health committee Is the super
vision of the. Inspection of the dwellings
of the poorer classes and the directions
of the efforts made In various ways to
compel Lords Lcngford and De Vescl and
Lord Carysfort to keep their cottages and
cabin property In a sanitary condition
It takes legal proceedings In the majority
of cases to effect passing remedies, and
when our medical officers of health certify
that certain premises are unfit for human
I naDiianon or worn uui uu,.imv., f ..
! cers get orders In the magistrates courts
to compel the owners to effect certain
necessary and urgent improvement under
t thm nubile health acts, the owners evict the
unfortunato occupiers and dismantle tho
premises."
The consequence ts, of course, disastrous
to tho poorer classes. As a result of these
efforts to secure ordinary and necessary
sanitary provisions for the poor, the com
mittee point out that over 100 houses have
been closed In various parts of the town.
The result is. of course, to aggravate tho
horrible overcrowding In the slums which
remain to the terrible danger, not of tho
poor Inhabitants alone, but to the health
of the entire town. The committee gives
one realistic Illustration of this over
crowding: "A mother and five children
were evicted from Paradise Row. Out of
common Christian charity she was housed
by a neighbor. The neighbor had five chll-
dren also. So here In one small dwell
! Ing of two rooms live two families twelve
people In all. The room occupied by the
family Just dispossessed messures fourteen
feet by seven feet hlfih; in other words,
giving Just the air space for six human
beings thst the local government board
suggests for the accommodation of a
cow."
Fonrral of a Fenian.
No Irish nationalist could help being
Impressed by tho scene that was witnessed
In Glasnevln cemetery when John O'Leary
was laid to rest. He belonged to the old
school whose Ideas have to a large extent
died out. There never was an occasion on
which the continuity of Irish patriotism
wss more splendidly Illustrated. ' There
were representatives at the grave of the
old Fenian of constitutional nationalists
who follow the Parliamentary party and
; Mr. Rednond. of the physical force party
to which Mr. O'Leary himself belonged, and
also representatives of the new Ideas that
have come Into Irish politics In recent
years. Mr. O'Leary was never an en
thusiast for the Irish language, neverthe
less, one of the most prominent men at
his funeral was Dr. Douglas Hyde. Tba
green Msg of Ireland on his coffin came
from America, and was brought across
the Atlantic by Mr. John Redmond, from
Irlshwoniiki of New York, who made It.
Mr. Redmond himself, In a recant speech
at the Hotel Cecil In London, paid a well
deserved tribute to the career of Mr. John
O'Leary. and referred to Uladatoae'a cole-

OLD TEMPLE SUBMERGED
Chance In Dam nt Assouan Will Cover
Nubian monuments with
Water.
CAIRO, April 13. (Special.) The coun
cil of ministers has decided that tha
height of the Assouan dam should be In
creasod In order that the level of the water
stored In the reservoir may be raised
twenty-two foet.
This .decision has been taken only after
an exhaustive survey of the Kile valley
between Wady Haifa and Khartoum, which
proved that no suitable site for a dam of
tho required capacity existed between
Wady Haifa and Khartoum. Tho only
alternative, therefore, was to raise the
existing dam.
The capacity of water stored by the new
dam will be two and one-quarter tlnes
greater than that stored by the existing
dam. The new aupply will be sufficient
to Irrigate about 1,000,0)0 acres. About
9GO.0O0 acres of land untitled for want ef
water exists In the northern tracts of
Egypt, a large part of which Is govern
ment property. It Is proposed to use this
additional wjtter from the enlarged reser
voir for reclaiming this land, which will
cause Increased wealth and Increased rev
enue. The value of the increase in the
cotton crop which this Irrigation work will
bring about is estimated at between $18,
000.000 and $30,000,000. Unfortunately this
Imposes on the government the regrettable
necessity of further submerging the Phllae
temple and other Nubian monuments.
Every possible means will be taken to
minimize the Injury. An archaeological
survey from Haifa to Assouan has been
made and the different archaeological so
cieties have been invited to co-operate In
this work.
The estimated cost of Increasing the
height of the dam Is $7,500,000, this sum in
eluding compensation to the inhabitants
of Nubia, whose lands will be submerged
The time required to complete the work
Is six years, so that It Is estimated that
It will require until 1913 for Ktrypt to reap
the full benefit of this large Increase In
the water supply of the country.
