"THE CHIN AMAN's FRIEND"
A Celestial Vents His Admiration for
Harrison and is Abused.

BIsMARK, D. T., June 26.-Great excite
ment was caused among laborers here last
evening owing to the brilliant decoration OF
Min KEGS laundry, following the nomina-
ton of Harrison for the presidency Min
Kee is one of the wealthiest and most intel
ligent Cinnamon in the northwest, and is in
ecstacy over the nomination of Harrison,
the Chinaman's friend in congress.
As soon as it was discovered that Min
KEGS laundry was decorated the white
laborers gathered about the place, tore
down the decoration and threatened to burn
the building. The Chinaman, undismayed,
proclaimed his admiration for Harrison,
and not until he was threatened with per-
sonal violence did he desist.

The NORFOLK OYSTER SEAsoN.-The
oyster season is rapidly drawing to close
in Norfolk and nearly every dealer in that
section, it is said, has lost money. This is
attributed TO the fact That the packers have
had to pay the catchers higher than usual
for stock and oysters have been remarkably
poor, scarcely producing more than a half
gallon to the bushel. Unless the shuckers
can get three quarts of solid meats from
bushe the business is not very profitable.
The best oysters this season have come from
the Rappehannock river; but those from
the rocks in Jams river and York river
never were so poor and Indifferent. The
rocks of the Rappahannock have therefore
been we'll worked as far up as Bowef's
wharf, not only by the catchers of the Nor
folk section, but by fleets of oyster vessels
from the Eastern Shore. Owing TO the very
open winter experienced on the seaboard,
the planters have not taken up nearly as
many of their oysters as they would have
done with favorable weather and consequent
favorable price, Last season che oyster
packers all made money. aud this season
have sunk last years profits.

TITS said by railroad experts that the

Der cent interest on the money invested in
the construction CT the road. But people
familiar with the country between Stras'

other mineral freghts will equal those OF

usual railroad business. AS capitalists are
now seeking safe Investments 81 three per

little OF no difficulty in raising the money
requisite for the construction OF the road re-
