John Swanson, a market fisherman, commonly known as "Oysters," reported that he had, while fishing a few miles off from this port yesterday afternoon, discovered the dead body of a man floating in the channel. He was accompanied by another fisherman, and they approached the remains near enough to discover that they were in an advanced state of putrefaction. They did not touch the body, but left it to float on the surface of the water undisturbed.

Their report states that it was clothed in long rubber boots and a rubber coat. Speculation is rife as to the Identity ly before 1 o'clock this morning.

Exclusivt Dispatch. Four more electrotypinf and stereotyping concerns Joined the fourteen "open-shop" establishments today, making in all eighteen places where members of the Typothetae may have their work done on the open-shop basis. These firms were Robert Gatr and the United States Printing Company In Brooklyn, and Seebeck Bros, and the Burr Printing Company in Manhattan. In the Typothetae headquarters it was said that eighty-eight electro-typers had quit work, but that their places would quickly be filled and the employers would suffer no Inconvenience. Isaac F.

The fire broke through hall windows Into an areaway, which formed a shaft to suck the flames up through the roof, which at that point is glass-covered.

(Oeorfe Claretie, In Boston Transcript Algaciras! I little fancied when lonB ago I visited that liny Spanish city that it would ever become historic. And the shaven Innkeepers I saw solemnly putting their papelitos on their doorateps as little imagined that all Europe would one day come hither to debate the charms of their chambers end ihe merits of their table d'hote.

The year Just passed was a veritable year of glories for the Spanish innkeepers. Those of Burgos had the eclipse eid the convention of astronomers. They littered Europe with thetr illustrated prospectuses representing the historic monuments of the Burgos the tomb of Cld, the cathedral and the monastery of Mlraflores while the man boasted of the derlghtful drives and excursions that might make up for a disappointing eclipse If the aun was too covered with clouds to permit of astronomic observations. And now it has come the turn of the Algttcirtas Innkeeper to put forth their own prospectuses. Thoug-h they haven't any eclipse to offer, they can nevertheless Invite all Europe to come to them.

For this time Europe has no Intention of peeping through the telescope, but plans Instead to discuss the little white patch that can be eeen on clear days from the head of the Bay of Algeclraa to talk of the minute corner of Africa, which has long made a tremendous noise In the world and bears the name of Tangier. "Tanger-danger" I called It a few months ago; 'the other Tanger" the Kaiser called It only yesterday. Burgos had Its savants, but for a while seemed that Algeciras was to rnlsa getting its diplomats. Accordingly the innkeepers got together and held a congress of their own. They protested loud and long.

People were afraid of their hotels, but they Insisted that their delightful Jnns were quite worthy of aheltering the great ones of Europe. Purely IX Europe dreaded those fondas Europe was hard to please. For this is in truth a moat entrancing sook of paJn, this little Andalustan city. It is no longer a European village; It has already become quite characteristically African. Blistered by the sunshine, it lias scarcely a glimpse of the sea a it looks nut from the Inner recesseis of Its bay.

A huge rock hangs over It and almost hides It the Jtock of Gibraltar, which thrusts out lis promontory Into the blue Mediterranean. Gibraltar lives in my memory like a 1ram. I arrived by sea and at night in front of that huge granite block. All at once the ship stopped. A fantastic illumination arose against the Mack- It seemed to me that countless lights were twinkling upon the eteps of hi immense ladder that stretched up toward heaven.

Cheers rang out from cck of a battlfship: they were i'-r chrs of English nalming li'fir city their citadel city tttbraltar. It Is hollow, this Rock of Gibraltar. like an Immense wine cellar, here the bottles are projectiles, Ev cording to a report presented, to the meeting. His successor will be chosen by the Council. When seen by a Times reporter after VOTING ON STRIKE PROPOSAL.

Then another charming vision floats before my mind. Algeciras is an exquisite city a little coiner of Spain rarely visited by tourists and never frequented by Cook's caravans the Spain of the olden times, the Spain of the ballads and legends of Victor Hugo and Theophlle Gautier a city all white and blue, with Its quaint, low-built bouses. Its wrought-Iron balconies, and Its laurels and rosebushes a-bloesom before its green-shaded window. The streets are still and mournful, and the grass peeps up from between the cobblestones of the pavement. Ail Is as silent as in a sun-baked city of the Orient.

I come and go in this strange solitude. Through the half-closed doors I get a glimpse of delicious patios, Inner courts adorned with fountains and azulejos, and wtth broad-leaved banana trees, laurel, rosea and orange trees. A fragrance of flowers and ripe fruit hangs over all this drowsy town. Now and then a white hand lifts a green wlndowshade. and through the grating I nee the face of a beautiful woman.

The young girls of Algeciras are the handsomest in Spain. Often of mixed Spanish and English blood, their mothers being dark-skinned AndalU-sians and their fathers blond officers of Gibraltar, they add Andaluslan grace to British charm Carmen plus Ophelia. Pensive faces, black locks and blue eyes appear among the flow-, ers in the windows and look out into the silent street. It is a perfect vision de theatre, and I look sharp to see If It Isn't merely a lovely stage-set for some comedy of Lope's or Calderon's. A bell rings out, and thus called ab-! ruptly back to realities, I see the church in its little open square -surrounded by trees and adorned with stone benches, where aged men sit smoking In silence.

What is going on? The women are at prayer. They wear mourning. They groan as they play, and their tears rain down upon ttvlr rosaries. Why are they weeping? Because they are widows and bereaved mothers, whose husbands and sons tome no more beck to them dead In Cuba, that. Island so far, so very far, away!

The first move Dominion government, the slave trade of Northern British Columbia is flourishing. Girls with white skins, thick brown hair braided down their backs, big, innocent, childish eyes are being sold today and have been sold for years to the highest bidder.

The slave masters are the Cape Mudige Indians; the slaves are white because their grandmothers before them were sold to white men and when these abandoned and deserted creatures wandered back to their tribe they brought with them baby girls. Sometimes they have been sold for four and five consecutive generations and in the generation now growing ap practically no trace of Indian blood can be seen. They have pink and white cheeks, blue eyes and fair hair. There have grown up slave dealers in Cape Mudge who have became wealthy in this traffic. They have created a market which is constantly increasing and the demand has become so great that other markets have been sought.

It Is reported that the Rock Bay Indians are also engaging in the slave trade. It has reached that point at Cape Mudge where young girls will be sold unless ths governments step in and put a stop to the trRffl-J.
