North Carolina OYSTER War.

Gov. Fowler of North Carolina yesterday re-
ceived official notification from the sheriff of
Hyde county Of the oyster war at Ocrocoke
Island and also request for his advice and aid
in settling the matter. The people of that Sec
ton became enraged at the depredations OF
oyster men, who have been operating in the
oyster grounds of Ocrocoke Island and have
routed some of them with shot guns. The
sheriff was unable to cope with the situation
and appealed to the governor. On the other
hand the people Of Ocrocoke regard the oyster
beds as their own property and sent a petition
to the governor requesting state protection
against trespassers. The situation is rather
perple king and the governor and counsel OF
state now have the matter under consideration.

hill work in his investigation of the alleged
violations Of the civil service law by

What Senator Chandler Said.

In the synopsis of the testimony before the
court of inquiry that investigated the matter Of
organizations among naval officers The STAR of
the 3Oth of January stated the following to be a
part Of the testimony given by Senator Chand-
Ter: During conversation at the time with
Commodore Sicard he told me that there was
no continuous organization among the line
officers. This information was new TO me and
believing him to speak the truth dropped the
matter"
Commodore Sicard states that this version of
the testimony of the ex-secretary was incor-
rect. He states that the Senator testified: Il
remember none of the conversation with any
OF the line chiefs of bureaus except that with
Commodore Sicard. and don't know whether
ought to undertake to report what he said or
not, but think will give the idea which re-
ceiyed from him; that is competent testimony.
i think he said in substance that while there
might be or might have been some organize
nons OF line officers they were not formal nor
continuous; they only happened from time to
time when there was occasion for them. That
there was not any such formal organization OF
the line as had supposed to exist
certainly got that impression from Com
modore Slcard. whether he intended to convey
IL or not. and dropped the subject"
