the former has for the New York
stalwart There was considerable en-.
riositY 70 witness Bruces advent To
the Senate. On the FIRST day Of the
session the senator-eIect entered the
chamber by the center door. Hi
colleague. Dir. Alcorn, saw him. but
did not rise to meet him. No one
else knew the stranger except a. Lis
color indicated. lie walked down
the center aisle AMI presented his
credentials in person. In all proba-
bility he was the only senator who
was ever compelled to do that. The
vice-president arose and the new cen
ator was at once sworn IN. Still
alone and ungreeted. Mr.. Bruce pass
ed to and took the seat he had selec-
ted. Then Mr.. C0nkIing, who had
been watching Mr. Alcorn's marked
neglect with an air Of scornful sur
prise, walked over to the colored SEN
ator and extended his hand and In
troduced himself. This is Senator
Bruce. Of Mississippi, / believe? I
am Roscoe ConkIing Of New York,
and am glad to be the first to well
come you to this chamber" The act
was noticed BY good many in the
galleries and on the floor and won for
Conkling the warmsst friendship Of
Mr.. Bruce.

q slSfa. say the Commission:
ere. i very marked and ali the beds
investigated give evidence Of exhaus-
ton. And this report Of the Com
miaaioaern will be corrDborated by
every resideat Of the water courses,
BY every packer and dealer and by
every dredger and tongaman in the
State. Whilst the oyster beds Of
Maryland, says q contemporary. yield
dollar to the oysterman, they will
be dredgsd and scraped until exhans-
ton leads TO the starvation Of all who
follow this business for q livelihood.
The day is not for distant. the same
writer goes on to remark, when there
will be no oysters except those re-
served aad protected in the planted
beds Of persons living directly on the
water. Il may be impossible to pro-
tect our oyster beds by legislation or
by the agency Of the present Oys-
ter Police Force. Certainly, pres
eat laws and present safeguards are
utterly inadequate 10 this end, ex-
cept in private coves and iaIets where
oysters are planted by individual
enterprise II the Commissioners
aI-o hold this opinion, they can do
us no better than to recommend such
Legislation as will foster aud increase
the number Of such private or indi-
vidual enterprises, for il is manifest
that the oysters will be ultimately
broken mp ard destroyed except in
planted beds. which mist be rigor-
Onsly protected by the Law. il exist
ing statutes are insufficient for such
protection.
