either to their personal ambition or their
selfish greed, and the administration of
public affairs is shaped to perpetuate
their rule.
$50 complete is the power of these
men, and so dictatorial have they be-
come, that members of the party are
but serfs SO far as political action is
concerned. Continued subservience but
makes the condition too degrading to
be quietly borne by American citizens.
There is but one way to dislodgo these
usurpers. The temporary defeat of the
party will be harmless compared with
the effects Of their control.
For the welfare Of the state and in
the interest Of the Democratic party to
mo my duty appears clear, which is to
oppose the election of the nominees of
the Saratoga convention to such extent

such manner as may seem best to nc

AN UNJUST Law
This Is What Maryland Oystermeu
Say of Certain Legislation.

This La What Maryland Oystermeu
Say of Certain Legislation.
CAMBRIDGE. Nd, Sept. 18. = Com
mander Seth's orders to the deputy
commanders of the oyster navy to en-
force literally that section of the oyster
law providing that all oyster shells and
oysters less than two and half inches
In length shall be replaced by the
catchers on the natural bed or bar as
taken, have stirred up a commotion in
Dorchester county. The oystermen say
that it is an utter impossibility to COM
ply with the law as put forth in Cen
eral Seth's order, and those who have
not already taken out license express
a determination not to do so, as it would
be folly to attempt to work with such a
law governing their operations.
Everybody in the oyster business,
they say. was well satisfied with the
law as enforced last season, when a mar
gin of per cent. of small oysters and
shells was allowed.
Commander Seth says: "The order
issued was in compliance with the law,
and have no right to change it. The
legislature will be convened in three
months, and-the oyster law should be
enforced literally, SO that il it is shown
to be too severe in its provisions or too
unreasonable to be enforced, its defects
can be cured. / think. the legislature
intended to require more of the catcher
than the purchaser"

MADRID, Sept. IS. = In the recent
floods about 2,300 persons were killed
at Toledo and about 800 elsewhere.
Many were injured, and crops of grapes,
olives and maise were seriously dam
aged. On top of the poor harvest this
loss was deeply felt. In most provinces
the harvest is bad, and it is a complete
failure in Aragon and portion of Cata-
lonia, where the distress in the rural
districts is intense. The total loss by
storms and floods, including damages
to crops and other property, the rail
ways, loss of traffic, etc, cannot be
short of e1 900, ,000

MISS AVA ON THE RosTRuM.
Lccturing for Money to Investigate
Her Alleged Abduction.

Her Alleged Abduction.
CINCINNATI, Sept, 1S.-Miss Vera Ava
continues to be an unfathomable mys-
terry. She is now in the hands of de-
tective agency, and began to lecture
last evening at dime museum, but it
is asserted that the purpose is to obtain
money to enable the detective agency to
explore the mystery of her abduction
and singular appearance here.
To the detectives she has shown her
head. Beneath the yellow wig is closely
cropped black hair. On the right front
Of her head, extending below the hair
line, is the scar Of a wound, showing
the operation Of trepanning. Other
scars appear, one of which she says is by
a cavalry sword, received during the
Franco -Prussian war. To the detective
she also confded a startling story to
show why she is Objectionable to the
Jesuits.
She declares she can exhibit the origi-
nal documents when she returns to Chi
cago, which will give the names of men
who were granted indulgence, and for
the commission of crime. Notwiih-
standing these revelations, she says she
isanxious to SO to Chicago and to probe
the matter of her abduction to the bot
tom.
1t would appear in consideration of
the stories she has told, and of the air of
plausibility which surrounds them, to-
gether with her apparent culture and
mental ability, that the first inquiry
should be as to the condition of her
mind. Until she returns to Chicago,
however, no legal inquest of lunaey can
be held.

China Arranging to Increase Her
Armament.
SUBSTITUTES FOR CONDEMNED MEN

When It Is Desired to Spare the
Life of a Certain Criminal Another
Head Is Chopped on Instead-The
French Army Maneuvers- other
Foreign News Notes of Interest.
LONDON, Sept. 1S.-A Shanghai dis
patch says the Chinese situation shows
no signs of betterment, and it is thought
significant by foreign residents that
commission of leading officers of the
Chinese army has been ordered to pro-
coed to Europe to study the English
army rifle and compare with the Aus
trian Mannlicher, to choose the superior
weapon, and order supply of 500.000
delivered. AS China already possesses
$4,000 rifles of the English type it is
thought the choice Of the English is
probable.
Much mitigation has been aroused
among foreigners at Shanghai by the dis
covery that. in all probability, none of
the actual rioters were executed. 1t is
not infrequent in China when it is de-
sired to spare the life OF a condemned
criminal, and at the same time give a
public example, to have some other
criminal substituted and duly beheaded.
As the crowd is kept at distance dur
ing executions there is nothing to pre-
vent deception, if the authorities are
willing.
French Military Maneuvers.
The French review at Vitry yesterday
was one of the grandest affairs since the
downfall of the first Napoleon. Over
10000 troops were assembled, ana
twenty-one guns announced tbs arrival
of Presidert Carnot. The spectators
were mostly of the bourgeoise class,
and they displayed the utmost en-
thusiasm, shouting for Carnot, the re-
public, the army and De Freycinet
President Carnot frequently applauded
the smart appearance, and discipline of
troops, and was evidently deeply graft
fed by the soldiery conduct of the army
and the excited enthusiasm of the
crowd. The charge of 10000 cavalry
was splendid.
France and the Vatican.
The friendly feeling between the
French republic and the papacy has found
expression in novel quarter. The French
ambassador has been using his influence
at the vatican to put an end to the pro-
longed difference between the pope and
Russia regarding the removal of bishops.
1t is said that the pope has consented
that the question concerning the nomi-
nations and removals of bishops shall be
re olved according to the views of the
st. Petersburg government.
A destructive fire is reported at Hole
schowitz; village of Bohemia, about
two miles from Prague The state rail
way machine shops were burned, and

CALLED A EFARI0US SCHEME.

The OficiaI RidicuIes an Argument
Presented by Counsel Quoting the
Antiquity OF Lottery Schemes, and
Refuses to Sustain Their Applica-
tion for Discharge.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S. - Attorney
General Miller has filed in the supreme
court of the United States his reply to
briefs filed by counsel for j. L. Rapier
and George w. Dupre, representing the
Louisiana Lottery company.
Each OF these cases is an application
for a discharge by writ of habeas corpus
from arrest for an alleged violation of
the anti-lottery legislation of the United
States. Rapier was arrested under in
formation in the district court of the
southern district of Alabama. Dupre
was arrested under two indictments in
the circuit court of the eastern district
of Louisiana. The charge against Ra-
pier and Dupre in one indictment was
the mailing of newspaper containing
an advertisement of the Louisiana lot
terry aud the other indictment was for
the mailing Of letter concerning the
lottery.
Called Nefarious Scheme.
Attorney General Miller, in address
ing himself to the constitutionality of
the law raised by counsel for petition
ers, says: Ordinarily under such cir
cumstances it would seem question of
couns nationality of legislation in
volved should be deemed settled. 1t
seems, however, otherwise. The rev.
enues poured into the Golfers Of the
Louisiana Lottery company by its vic
Tins are too large to be surrendered
without another struggle. A very small
part of the revenues suffices to pay for
making number of contests. Accord
ingly, nothing daunted by the fact that
this nefarious scheme is under the ban
of public opinion, of legislative enact
ment, of judicial decision. the most en-
inent counsel in the land are here max
ing very astute, but, as think, very
sophistical presentation f a bad cause"
