Poor oyster Prospects.

An inspection has been made of the
oyster bars in Chesapeake bay and Ches
ter river, aud the outlook is anything
bat promising. Old oystermen say that
the stock on the bars has made no growth
and that many have died since April and
that there are no young oysters except
on Piney Point bar and several other
small bars In Chester river. There is
much speculation as TO the oyster catch
this season in Chesapeake waters. Many

FOR THE TARIFF HEARINGS

LeHoiden Would Protect Lead Miner
and Opposes n Reduction OF the Present
Duty on Lead Ore-rarIn Hearings
Ended To-day.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-The tariff
hearing ended to-day. J. s. Page, paint
and color maker, of New York, urged
reduction of the tariff on colors which
were taxed beyond the finish product.
LeHolden, proprietor Of the Cleveland,
o.. PlaIndealer, opposed reduction of
the present duty on lead ores.
Free lead ores would destroy the in.
dustry and deprive thousands Of employ
ment.
1t would be unjust to enact law dis
eliminating against the mines and in
favor Of the manufacturers. The rates
could be placed so as to prevent monopo.
lies and trusts, and yet give protection.
The lead mines were closed on account
OF the fall In silver. There ought to be
a tariff high enough to protect lead
miners from the peon labor of Mexico.
