HUNDREDS Of Tons of Dead Fish Cast Upei the Shore of the Mercer I County Eeeerreir Thej Mast BeBemored.

srBClaL BtsTCB TS rag ESQinsxa. Columbus, Onto, April 6. As a result. probably, of tbo extremely cold weather I during the past winter, State Board of Public Works will have a knotty problem to deal with at 1 Canal Collector at Cellna writes that there are hundred, of ton. of dead fish In the Mercer County Reservoir.

These fish. which were killed by the long-continued freese, since the lea ts all off the reservoir have floated to the surface, and now line the shore ton long distances. The resident of Cellna and ether point, along the reservoir are very anxlou. to bav. tb.

dead fish removed before the warm weather sets in. and the board will be compelled to take some steps looking to the cleaning out of the great body of water. In former years the fish In the Lewis- town snd Mercer reservoirs have been af fected to some extent by the heavy freezes. but the wholesale of the finny tribe In Che latter body of water waa left for the paat winter. There la no report of an extraordinary number of dead fish at tb.

Lewlatown reservoir. Last spring it was necessary to remove the dead fish from that body of water, but no trouble occurred then at Mercer. The extent of the damage in the Utter reservoir this year Is a sur- nriu fh. naool in that vVlnlrv. aa th.

number of fish killed la far in excess of any period In tha memory of the residents along the water. If not removed the number of dead fish is sufficient to contaminate the entire body of water. There are eome who think that possibly oil from the numerous wells in and among the banks of the reservoir may bave had something to do with the extraordinary number of fl.h killed, but there seems to be nothing positive In regard to this as a con tributing cause. The author! tie. were care ful In making contracts for tha lease of privilege, to specify that the oil must not be permlted to run Into the water, the ob ject being to prevent tbo 'destruction of th.

rSAJCE'B REPLY. Mild Bat Firm Answer To Sir Ivdward Grey's Blaster. Fabis, April S. Ia the Senate to-day M. Hanatouax.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, replied to the statements made in the House of Commons March 28 by Sir Edward Grey, Parliamentary Secretary of the British For eign OAoa, In regard to the Anglo-French situation ia Africa, which statements were called forth by the complaint of the British Royal Niger Company that two French expeditions were trespassing on the territory in the Upper Nile Valley that Is under British protection. M. Hanatouax said that France opposed the oontsntloa of the Niger Company that it has. the right to Jaonopo- llxe commerce ta aad te prohibit the tran ait of tts entire ten limy. In regard to th Upper Nile Valley France maintains that the Khedive of Xgypt ts the legitimate master of these regions, and shs therefore demands from Great Britain aa explanation of what territory she claims.

France wants to know where Egyptian Influence ends and Britiah Influence commences. Great Britain's claims on this point are moat vague. France has been unable to obtain an explanation, and when the inquiries were pressed Great Britain has broken off the negotiations. There could not, however, be a question of mi aaslve action or peremptory orders when so many complex problems were involved of which so many diverse solutions might he usefully considered. M.

Hanatouax added: "Nobody can wish to hamper the initiative of the brave explorers of these countries, but when ths tlms comes to decide the ultimate destiny of theae regions we believe that the rights of ths Saltan of Turkey and th. Khedive of Egypt should be respected, and that there should be reserved to each what belongs to- aim according to hla works.
