. . numerous productive fisheries there of which the existence has been hitherto unknown. The actual work of the Albatross began Jan. 5. when the trawl was cast in 233 fathoms of water, in the Cortez banks, about twelve miles from Point Conception. Fish swarmed in creat numbers and varietyover the banks, which are tho richest found, so far, in the Pacific. Fatheads, wirt lish, yellow-tail rock cod, and four species of red rock cod, took the hook readily. San Nicholas island was found rather barren, but here Professor Gilbert, the naturalist of the expedition, discovered a phenomenon of nature, generally attributed to whirlwinds, in tho shape of a torn-pike, perfectly straight as lar as the eye could eee. nine feet wide, crowned in the center, and with gutters sunk six to eight inches. Kich hauls were made at lieecher'fl bay, in about -TO fathoms of water. The fish, taken included four species of black cod, of excellent flavor, and also the deep water sole, one of the best fishes of the Pacific ctast. At Watson's rock, a party sent out from the ship captured more than 1,000 pounds of fish in less than two hours, uuadalonpe island and Alijos rock were found to be barren, but around Clarion island fish swarmed in great numbers. Forty-six species, of which twenty were edible, were taken. Sharks made things lively also. Fourteen species of fish not found oc Clarion island were taken near Socorro island, the largest of this group. Humpback whales constantly ploughed their way-through the sea in full sight. Thousands of sea birds, man-of-war hawks and boobies made their home on San Benedicto, an island upon which neither wood, water, nor even a bush could be seen. The Gulf of California then became tho objective point, and in the vicinity of Cape fcan Lucas, the Albatross investigated reports that have long been current of island, rocks and' reefs in the neighborhood. Their non-existence was established by soundings, and it was also demonstrated that the islands, commencing with Uuadaloupe and extending to Los Alijos and the Kevilla Oigardo group, are isolated volcanic eruptions, entirely independent of the continent and of one another. The gulf was entered on March 11, and the ground around San Jose island was found literally covered with oyster-shells alive and dead. At a depth of from ten to twelve fathoms numbers of lish were taken. In the gulf and at George island plenty of squetague, and a species of sea bass, weighing from sixty to one hundred and aixty pounds, were taken. Many sea-birds and a rookery of sea-lions was also discovered. At one place the fish were taken in such numbers that the captain was obliged to put a stop to the sport. Gill-net fishing throughout the gulf was found to be impracticable on account of eharks and dogfish. Off San Louis island, in the latter part of March, sea-lions, whales and porpoises abounded, the last named being very wild. Governor Cervantes and a large number of gentlemen who visited the ship were Ifreatljr surprised to see the great variety of marine fauna which had been found, many of which they had never seen or heard of. Excellent oysters were found to be plentiful off Algodones lagoon, about the Vaqui river. At low tide these oysters are exposed to view and the Indians collect them by hand. The fishing grounds of Man-of-war cove and Pay of San Bartolemeo did not sustain the reputation they have. Investigations made by Professor Gilbert and Mr. Alexander showed that no shad existed in the Gila and Colorado rivers, the waters having proved unadapted to the shad plated there by the commission. German carp, however, were found to-have thriven well. Large numbers of halibut and rock cod were found ott Capo Flattery, and when the trawl was set in water from 475 to 700 fathoms deep, many unrecognized specimens of fish were taken, besides flounders, deep-sea sole, Norway haddock, macrusus and hog fish. Sea shrimp, sea urchins, holothurians, ophiurans, star fish, sea anemones, crinoids: penatnies and hermit crabs were also pulled up. 13 lack cod were caught at S5U fathoms depth, the greatest depth in which they have been found. A line sandy bottom was indicated. GRAND ARMY BUTTONS.

Increase In the Number Displayed In the Departments How Gen. Harrison's Is Worn. Ppeclal to tli ImUanapoUa Journal Washington, Aug. 24. Somt of the veterans who served on the Union side in the war are commenting over tho fact that President Harrison invariably wears the Grand Army button on the left lapel of his coat. So many public men who were officers ire wearing the button of the Loyal Legion and practically discarding that of the Grand Army, that this action of the President has caused commendation from those who served in tho ranks. In the Senate and House of Representatives the Loyal Legion button, on the Republican eide, is about as thick as blackberries in Jnly.TheGrandArmyinsigniaisnot so generally worn. Some of the Representatives are very obtrusive in their display of military decorations, while others equally entitled to wear them do not avail themselves of their privilege in this respect. Since the Harrison administration came in there has been a marked increase in the number of Grand Army buttons displayed by the clerks who served in the war, and are holding positions in the several departments. During the Cleveland administration it was a rare thing to see one of these buttons on the coat of a clerk. The mania for wearing badges has broken out outside of the Grand Army and the Loyal Legion members since March 4. Every school-boy and school-girl who has won a medal for superiority in studies shows them upon the slightest provocation. There are quite a number of Washingtonians who have received decorations from foreign governments. These gentlemen are content to wear them only upon public occasions. If the custom still prevails at tho official receptions next winter, the East Room of the White House will look something like the window of a modern pawnshop. . MINOR MATTERS. Tiro Andrew J.

A minor th.it the flag on the Executive Mansion whs flying at halflnast, this evening, spread rapidly through the city, and the conclusion that there had been s

death in the official family of the President was rapidly drawn, and questions of all kinds came pouring into the offices on newspaper row. Inquiry at the White limine elicited tho following explanation: "Uncle Jerry," the colored porter, whose duty It Is to rake and lower the flags, wait, on Saturday evenings, until the concert in the White House grounds is over before lowering the tlag for the night. He was sitting on the roof of the mansion, toying with the flagropes, when, unconsciously, he lowered the flag to half-mast. The mistake was not discovered until several hundred people had seen it.

Aid to the strik ing miners continues to come in. To-day disbursements aggregated $1,100.85. Of this sum the General Assembly of tho Knights of Labor gave 700, and tbe Na tional Progressive Union, the two national orders of miners, gave $188.35. Of the remainder, Rushville, Ind., gave $25; Muncie, $37; Cincinnati Post, $50; Louisville. Ky., printers, $0; miners at Burnett, Ind., $21. The remainder was given by locals of na tional mining orders. The popular contribution thus seems to have dropped out almost wholly, and what is given is given by labor organizations almost wholly. a uuuuui luieresv is suun u uy mo large proportion of relief that is due to her.

These appeals, issued early in the strike, thns showing clearly the alarm felt, sav that if the 6tnkers here fail it will paralyze the coal trade in the Hocking valley, Ohio. The Hocking valley coal is the coal now being substituted for Brazil block, becanse the latter cannot be obtained in the markets.

Wines, appointed by Governor Fifer as a com mission to investigate and report upon the north ern Illinois miners' troubles, have presented a voluminous report to the Governor. They findthat it is impossible for the miners to subsist unon the wares offered bv the operators, but de cline to state any conviction that the present xnarKet ana controlling conditions win justiiy the operators in ofierintr a higher rate or wages.
