WAR AMONG oYsTERMEN.
Have a Fierce Battle With Rifles
and Cannon.

YAsLEY, Va, March 25.-A
| furious battle occurred Wednesday
afternoon between the oystermen on
Chesapeake bay. Several years ago
some persons residing in Accomack
county took up a large tract of oyster
grou nd in Pokomoke sound. The
oystermen IN the neighboring island
of Tangier claimed that the planters
had violated the law by taking up
national oyster lock. The case was
taken to the courts and decided
against the planters. Under an act
passed by the Virginia Legislature
last winter the planters proceeded to
take the oysters from their reserva-
ton. This greatly enraged the is.
landers, who determined to prevent
1t at all hazards. Early Wednesday
morning the Tangier islanders man
ned two sloops with a force num-
bering about seventy-fve men and
proceeded to where the dredges were
operating. They found twelve
schooners at work, and close by was
one of the Virginia police boats to
protect the dredgers. The comman-
der of the state police boat ordered
the islanders to keep of, and when
they disregarded his orders he
opened fire on them with his can
non. The islanders, who were
armed with rifles, replied, and soon
the firing became general. The
dredgers, who were expecting an
attack, came on deck and fired
volley after volley into the islanders,
who were driven to shelter in the
holds Of their vessels. The oyster
police boat kept up fierce fire with
grape and canister on the islanders,
who finally withdrew from the un-
equal contest and sailed away to
Tangier, where they arrived about
midnight. In the engagement
Captain Thomas Dies, of Pun
gateague, who commanded one of
the dredging boats, was killed, and
several of the islanders received
slight wounds. The fight took place
Ii full view of Tangier island, and
while Il was going on the entire
population of the island watched
the progress of the fight from the
northern shore. Many of the
women tainted, aud the children ran
along the shore screaming and
wringing their hands. 1t Is said
that hardly person on the island
slept any that night and the greatest
excitement prevails. The dredgers
aud the islanders are both greatly
incensed against each other, and II
is feared that hostilitles will break
out afresh, unless the authorities in-
teTfere at once and settle the trouble. |

THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Finding Fault With Newspapers

WASHINGTON, March 25. - II
seems singular that with a grave

SILVER QUESTION.
Different Plans of Bland and the
Minority.

WASHINGTON, March 25. The
silver advocates were sadly demoral-
lied by the Weakness Of their cause,
betrayed by the last evening pro-
ceediDgs Of the bouse. They have
all along been confident of major
ity Of Thirty or ferty. Bland will at
once appeal to the committee on
rules to set apart The day and the
hour for further consideration Of the
silver bill, thus cutting of all inter-
vening motions, and forcing vote.
Anti silver people will also appeal to
the committee OH rules for permis-
sion TO offer motions first to substi-

gressed. When the clerk completed
the recapitulatiOn the speaker rose
to announce the result. but before
doing 30 he directed ih- clerk to call
his name aud then avail himself Of
his right, and cast his vote In the
negative amid deafeniBg applause
by the advocates Of the measure.
Bland, not aware that the speakers
vote had saved his measure from
annihilatioD, changed his vote from
negative 10 affirmative In order to
have an opportunity tn move a re-
consideration, but being advised in
a moment that the motion was de-
feated by tie vote, again changed
to the negative.
Enloe, Of Tenn, suddenly strobe
into the house and said he desired
to have his vote recorded, but the
speaker refused, Enloe having been
absent at the session of the investj-
cation committee.
Herbert, of Ala, who had also
been absen failed to get his vote re-
corded. The motion was lost by a
tie vote of 14S to 14S.
Cultivate, of Ohio, at once moved
to adjourn. Lost, 80 to 1893.
johnson, of Ohio, moved to re-
consider the vote by which the
house refused to table the Bland bill,
and Bland moved to lay the John
son motion on the table.
The motion to table the motion to
reconsider was rejected, las to 149,
and the antis applauded with vigor
The speaker stated the vote re-
Cured Oh the motion to reconsider,
aud Reed sprang to his feet and de-
manded the yeas and nays, and the
roll was called.
The speaker, without ordering a
'ecapitulation, announced that the
motion to reconsider was defeated
by vote Of 148 to l4S.
Cochran demanded a recapitula-
ton of the vote.
The speaker stated that the de-
mand came too late. The confusion
Was then redoubled, and the speaker
was compelled to call in the sergeant
alarms TO restore order.
Finally the vote was recapitulated
by unanimous consent, and was an
nounced, yeas $50, nays l48, and the
result was loudly applauded by the
anti-silverites.
The question then was, on the
motion to lay the pending bill on
the table, and after some wild dis
order the vote was announced, yeas
145, nays 143; so the house refused
to lay the bill on the table.
The chair announced that the
question recurred on BANDS motion
for the previous question on the bill,
and the amendments. Motion to
adjourn, lost, so to 2O2.
Motions to adjourn, to take a
recess, to adjourn till Saturday, and
adjourn till Monday, were all voted
down, and then Bland, stating it
was evident no fair vote could be
taken tonight. moved an adjourn
ment, which motion was carried at
1895. The silver bill now goes on
the calendar, but it is probable the
committee on rules will at an early
day report resolution for further
consideration.

DEHRINC SEA TROUBLE

BEHRING SEA,
What Will Be the Policy Of the
Navy Department7

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
navy department authorities hardly
know how far to go in the line Of
extraordinary preparations until the
international correspondence with
reference to the Behring sea dispute
bears a more conclusive aspect. 1t
will hardly be policy for the depart
menJ to concentrate heavy force Of
vessels IN Bebring ses, for, even If
hosulities should be precipitated by
an exchange Of shots IN those waters
a war would not be fought there but
nearer home. 1t is rumored that
President Harrison has been given
by the Russian minister the assur-
,nce that tie Russian government
will cooperate with this government
n the matter Of protecting the seals
u Behring sea, and that four men
( war would be added to the feet
f ak Russian iron clads now at
VladivistOck.
The seriousness Of the Behring sea
situation is shown by the attend
ance Of Secretary Blaine at the cabi-
net meeting, Notwithstanding his
recent illness. The other members
were all present. 1t is practically
.ettled that the warships Chs rles-
on, Baltimore, Boston, Yorktown.
Adams, Ranger and Mohican, and
he revenue vessels Corwin, Bear,
Rush and Albatross will be assigned
20 the duty Of patrolling the sealing
grounds.
1t is understood q decision was
reached that the government await
the reply of Lord Salisbury to the
presidents last note before proceed
ing on the assumption that the
English government will not CO.
operate In the measures Of proiec-
ton for the sealing industry.

A WOMAN'S REVENGE.
Mrs. Governor Brown Resents a
Slight to Her Dignity. .

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, March 25.-Gov.
Brown has been resident of the
executive nmittee, mansion at
Annapolis for several months. AT
ter one or two receptions it was an
nounced that no more would be
given for some time. 1t now appears
that they were discontinued because
of petty iealousies and rivalries en-
gendered among the ladies who had
been regarded as social leaders, and
who were unwilling to award that
position to Mrs. Brown, The feel
ing has br, ken out into open war,
and the local papers have taken
sides. The Tempest began to gather
at the first Saturday afternoon re-
ception. Invitations were sent out,
but scarcely any one attended.
Meeting some young society people
rfterwards, Mis-. Brown pleasantly
chided them Tor not visiting her
that evening, and invited them to
call on her reception day. When
they called they were met by a
servant who expressed the hostess
regrets that she could not receive
and requested them to call on the
following Saturday, Nearly all did
call, but they Were turned away. 1t
Is said that Mrs. Brown took this
means to aveuge the slight put upon
her at the first reception, and that
she and the rest of the family werr
looking through the Stats of the
blinds enjoying the discontinue of
the visitors.

Major Wagner, the sc cretary of the

graphed to Edward jeffrey, presi-
dent of the road In Denver, TO recall
the goods on account of an existing
contr act for storage made years ago.
Colonel Altman said the sale had
been made probably through the
