SUCCUIENT SHAD,
A Quarter Million Little Fellows
Dumped Into the Ohio.

Yesterday morning Fish Commissioner
Miller received a telegram from Mr.. Sim.
mons, Of the Government Fish Commits
sion, announcing that he would be here on
the noon train with an instalment OF young
fish for the Ohio river. Following the
message Mr.. Simmons came, bringing 250,-
600 young Potomac shad. These little fell
lows were scarcely half inch in length
and about the size OF darning needle.
When grown they are tender and succu.
lent and greatly valued for their delicate
flavor. They were placed in the river in
front OF the stamm House, and immedi.
ately skirmished off 30 enjoy their new do
main.
shsd require from three 10 five years 10
attain their full growth. They wander
down and dispDrt themselves in the briny
waters Of the gulf and when they are full
grown, come hack to head waters TO spawn.
Several years ago a carload OF shall we're
emptied in at steubcnville, but since then
have never been heard from. Mr. Miller's
idea was TO place the fish nearer head
waters, say in the Cheat at Rowlesbury.
which would give them full sweep Of these
waters. No doubt this plan is good one.
In about four years We will look for
these fish. and trust they will not, like the
others, stay south Of the falls at Louisville.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The President has
set speculation at rest by signing the
Chinese Bill. Fortunately this course
does not require him to give any reason
for his actions, so that his inconsistency
is not made more prominent. The fact is
that his arguments against the former bill
apply with equal force to the present one,
with the single exception of the term of
prohibition being reduced to ten years. If
the arguments were good before, and it was
principle" which prevented his signing
the former bill, il is equally certain that il
is lack of backbone, or rather the tremen-
duous pressure OF party necessity which
has led him to afiix his signature to the
MEASURE now vs.sss-ss1- ~
The Committee on Foreign Affairs had
Senator Blair on the witness stand again to-
day, in relation to the Peruvian Company.
The crosS-examination by Mr.. Belmont did
not develop much OF anything new, except
the fact that Senator Blair acknowledged
having received 1000 shares of stock at one
hundred dollars per share, as consideration
for his services as counsel.
AS the investigation was concluded, Mr..
Wilson, OF West Virginia, member Of the
Committee, moved that the gentlemen pres
ent unite in singing the DoxolOgy, long
meter, which suggestion was greeted with
llughtrr e..

WNSmNGTuS, May S.-The final proceed

ate Justices Macarthur, James and Hag-
ner. Mr. Charles II. Reed. attorney for
Guiteau, will lead of and be followed
by District Attorney COrkhill and Mr..
Davidge, after which Mr. Reed will close
the case. Judge Porter, the other member
OF the Government counsel, will not be
present, as he is detained in Florida by
illness.
Colonel Corkhill said this evening that he
did not anticipate any unnecessary delay in
the case, and that the arguments would
not occupy over two days. The demand
for admission to the court room is tremend-
Gus, hundreds Of applications having been
made to day in person and by letter.
Charley Reeds argument will bother
the Court some" said a lawyer to-day.
He claims two things rs his main points;
First. that the cour; of the District had no
Jurisdiction in the case; and, second, that
Guileau could not be legally sentenced to
be hanged June -, and the edict OF Judge
Cox is therefore void. To establish the
first point he quotes the Ian from Edward
the Fourth down anu makes strong show
ing for his client.
Mr.. Reed hold, that on the question OF
jurisdiction he ha> the best of the argu-
ment, and considers his position inCOntrO-
ycrtible As t. the date of the sentence,
he claims that it should have been fixed
some time in October, and is contrary to
law as it now stands. Ii should have been
set within 30 days of the close Of the term
in which he can appeal. Il.
