CENTREVILLE.

The contest at catching bass in
Penns Creek by our fishermen
during the summer resulted as fol-
lows: Henry Grubb is the cham
|pion for catching the largest bass
while Charles Il. Sampsel claims the
belt for having hauled out on terra
frma the largest in number. r.. b.
Fessler, John Mohn, Jacob Shell
and several others ALSO caught mum
bers of them. f. B. Bolig also tried
his luck at fishing for bass several
days during the past week. One
day while fishing in Kerr's dam
Fred had bite, and while attempt
| ing to land it, he nearly broke the
| rod. He then took hold of the line
! and towed the fish to shore when he
succeeded in getting it on the bank
| it proved to be a monster, a black
bass, nearly two feet and one inch
long, The fish made a tremendous
effect to free himself from the EN-
brace of his captor, and with his
6nny tail struck Fred, in the face,
knocking off his hat and nearly
blinded him, and in the struggle,
the fish, unfortunately for Fred,
aoundered back into the water. Lafe
and Toby cannot understand how
Fred could take such an exact meas
ure of the fish and yet not get the
| fish. He would better have stuck
to the bass and not bother about
that one inch. But then there is
Jake Shell, who burns lime alongside
of the dam, don't believe that Fred
ever saw such large bass. Who
does? Fred don't think that any OF
the anglers, who are daily at the
creek, can catch such large bass,
but when it comes to talking about
fishing he claims they take the cake

weeks visit in Shenandoah, returned

.SOCIALISTIC NOISE
Scene of Great Confusion in the
German ReichStag.
DO NOT CHEER FOR WILLIAM

In the Belgian Chamber the Socialists
Speeches Had To be Drowned with
Cheers for the King-Their Attacks
Were Very Bitter.
BERLIN, December 10.--A disturbance
occurred to-day in the Reichstag palace
upon the occasion of the first sitting OF
the Reichstag. After President Won
Levetsow had made reminiscent speech
he called for cheers for the Emperor.
The cheers were given heartily by all ex-
cept the Socialists, who remained seated
in spite OF the excited and angry protests
of the other members. A great uproar
followed. The Socialists resented the at
titude of the President, and Liebknecht
rose in his seat, his manner being quite
threatening. Ulrich also sprang to his
feet and amid renewed cries OF shame
" Shame!" shook his fist at the other
members. When order was restored the
election OF the officers of the House was
proceeded with. When this had been
concluded, President Won Levetsow ex-
pressed his regret that he was unable to
punish the disloyal Socialists. Singer
thereupon arose and attempted to justify
the attitude of himself and his fellow-So-
cialists. He was repeatedly interrupted,
but was understood to say:
eve will never be compelled to cheer
for one who recently told the recruits
who were taking the service oath that,
should circumstances arise, they would
be ordered, against the will OF the peo-
pie, to shoot their own brothers, fathers
and mothers for the one who is now
introducing an anti-revolutionary bill
which is directed against us. 10 cheer
him would be irreconcilable with our
honor and dignity"
The rest OF Singers words were
drowned in a storm of vehement pro-
tests, which only subsidized when Won
Leyetsow called the speaker to order.
The House then opened a debate on the
motion to abandon the pending prose-
cutions of some of the Socialist members,
during which Premier Won Manteullel
inVeighed strongly against the conduct
of the Socialists to-day. An adjourn
ment was finally taken until Tuesday.
IN THE BELGIUM CHAMBER.
BRUSSELS, December l0.-The Social
lists made an exceptionally aggressive
demonstration during the debate ON the
rovaI civil list in the Chamber to-day.
Their attacks were so bitter that eventu-
ally the Conservatives rose in a body
and, led by the Premier, drowned the
Socialist speeches with cheers for the
King. The Socialists replied, Hurrah
for the people," The Conservatives con-
tnued to cheer and wave their handker-
chiefs until the confusion became hope
less, and the Chamber adjourned.

GREAT BRITAIN IGNORED.


KINGsToN, Jamaica, December TO-
Somewhat startling news has been re-
ceived here. 1t comes direct from Mica
ragua. The treaty between Great Brit
ain and Nicaragua has been quietly
ignored by President Ielayas officials.
General Cabeza has been named Gov
ernor of Mosquito on a salary OF $500
Der month. His brother has been named
Governor of Corn Island, which is just
off the coast OF Nicaragua. Recently he
obtained the concession for a number OF
wears to use the island, it is said, as a
coaling station. In the event OF COM
peted Nicaraguan canal Corn Island will
have an immense value both as a coallng
station and owing to its strategic situa-
ton, practically commanding the Allan
tic entrance to the canal. The Governor
obtained this remarkable concession
from President Zelaya while Governor OF
the island.
The case OF the Moraylans has been
duly submitted to the government OF her
Britannia Majesty, setting forth all the
facts as well as the attempt OF the Mica
raguans to sell the valuable properties
of the missionaries. General Cabeza' 6
DEGREES in the Mosquito reserve, where
inconsistent with the treaty of Mana
qua, have been refused recognition by
Great Britain. General Barrios, the
Nicaraguan Minister to England, spe-
cially appointed by his government, was
so informed in London. Nicaragua is
practically under dictatorship. Under
the new constitution formulated by Cen
eral Zelaya, the President, any one de-
nounced to the government Of Nicaragua
as unfriendly to it may be fined SOC, 1000
or have his property contiscated.

The Protect Renewed.

BERLIN, December 11.-Ambassador
Runyon has renewed his representations
at the foreign Office as to the discrimina-
ton against American canned beef and
pork. Freiherr Won Marschal's reply is
unfavorable. 1t is understood that he is
willing to grant the needed certificates
only after annoying formalities, which,
while in no way guaranteeing proper in
spection. greatly hampers importers. He
held out no hopes that the DEGREES
against American canned goods, cattle
and fresh meat would be recalled,

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Free-Silver Coinage Resolution Will
Probably Meet Little Opposition!

Free-silver Coinage Resolution Will
Probably Meet Little Opposition!
DENVER, December lO.-Nearly all of
the delegates to attend the convention
Of the American Federation of Labor,
which opens here at 10 o'clock to-day,
have arrived. John Burns, NJ. p Sam
uel Gompers, President OF the Fedora
ton; Richard Holmes OF England and
T. j. Mcclure arrived Sunday morning
Notwithstanding that the delegates COM
ing profess ignorance as to the adoption
by the delegates of resolution favoriug
the free coinage of silver, it is very proba-
BILE that such resolution will he intro
duced, and that it will meet with but
very little opposition. On the question
of immigration some decided views are
expected from the convention. They
will probably be in the shape OF reso.
luton asking Congress to limit all for
eign immigration to this country for q
number OF years. But beyond doubt the
principal business to come before the
delegates will be the adoption of a politi-
| cal platform. As basis for such mat
| ter, the following programme, made by
the different trades assemblies of Great
Britain, has been recommended for con-
| sideration;
Compulsory education direct legisla-
ton legal eight-hour work day; sani-
! tary inspection of workshops, mines and
homes; liability Of employers for injury
to health of body or lite !; the abolition OF
| the sweating system; the municipal own
ership OF street-cars and gas and electric
! plants for public distribution of light,
heat and power; the naturalization of
| telegraphs, telephones, railroads and
mines the principle OF the referendum
in all legislation"
With the exception of the clause refer
ring to the government ownership of
railroads, telegraphs and telephones, this
! platform will probably be fayorablv re-
ceived and adopted without discussion.
Joseph F. Valentine, National Vice
President Of the Ironmolders' Union of
San Francisco; J. f. Quale, Secretary OF
the Amalgamated Carpenters of Chi
| cage, and Chris Evans, Secretary of the
Federation, constituting the auditing
committee, are in the city and have been
| inspecting the accounts of the federation.

! ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN PROTEST.
ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, December II -
The engineers and tiremen on the At
lantic and Pacific railroad have engaged
an attorney to look after their interests.
They say they have become tired of pay
ing the grand officers OF their organiza-
tions $4,000 to 200 a year, in addi-
ton to the heavy local dues, for in time
of trouble the officers have taken sides
with the company, sanctioned the dis
charge of men on account of the Ameri-
can Railway Union without hearing their
defense.

ABOUT A LITTLE WORD.
Negroes Wish to be Admitted to Lah"r
Organizations.

PHILADELPHIA, December l0.-A vigor-
Gus effort will be made by leading coored
men at the labor conference to be held
in Denver this week to have the word
white " stricken from the constitution
OF the labor organizations. To days
issue of the Christian Recorder, the organ
of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, contains an open letter to John
Burns, who has come to this country
from England for the purpose OF attend
ing the conference, to espouse the cause
of the colored men in the fight for equal
rights. The letter says in part
In the name OF the rights of labor we
ask YOU to make some notes for your
countrymen at home concerning more
than 5000 900 workmen iii this country,
who suffer the greatest injustice at the
hands OF organized labor in the United
States. In the name of these colored
workmen we urge you to report upon the
conditions which exist in this country
and to recommend that there be no CO.
operation on the part OF the British
trades unions until the American trades
unions shall give all workmen in this
broad land equality Of opportunity.
" Mr.. Powderly made a magnificent
stand for justice at Richmond, and his
influence began to wane from that mo-
ment. Mr., Gompers has attempted to
do something, but he stands almost
alone. There are few leaders like
these, who, unable to inaugurate an agi-
tation for equality, would welcome from
you fraternal word of warning to the
effect that they who would demand their
rights must respect the rights Of Others"

FOREIGNERS IN PEKING.
The Imperial Edict That Was Issued for
Their Protection.


New YORK, December 10.-A letter
has just been received by the missionary
society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church from Rev. DIR. II. II. Lowry, ~
missionary of the society in Picking,
China, containing the latest mail adj
vices from that country. In the course
of his communication DR.. Lowry says:
"There has been much anxiety here
and at the ports over the possibilities OF
mobs, etc, and think there is an un-
necessary scare. The government will
do all in its power to protect us, as wit
ness the inclosed translation OF the edlct
published in the Picking Gazette:
Imperial edict-From the time OF
their establishment the churches OF all
nations in Peking have enjoyed peace,
and according to the treaty should be
protected. The present breach of faith
of Eastern dwarfs-the Japanese-has
no relation to the foreign nations of the
| West. And because this year many men
from every province are coming to Pc
king, we fear that there are ignorant
ones, who will wrouglully distrust, and
that eyil-disposed vagabonds Will take
advantage of these circumstances to pro-
woke disturbance. 1t is we'll, therefore,
to take prompt measures for forestaIIlng
all such. Therefore, the Mayor of Pc
king and the Censors of the five cities are
commanded to charge those under their
authority to strictly watch and suppress
disturbance and protect foreigners. If
there are those who disobey and cause
disturbance, let them be Immediately
apprehended and severely punished with
in dealing With them. This is decreed.

DUNRAVEN'S CONDITIONS.
Same Terms as in Last Years Races and
Earlier Than October.

LONDON, December 8.-An intimate
friend of Lord Dunraven was questioned
to-day concerning the report that Lord
Dunrayen had already forwarded to the
New York Yacht Club a challenge for
the American cup. The gentleman in
terviewed appeared not to be aware that
a challenge had been sent, but added
that letter might have been sent with
the view of gaining time under the ten
months notice clause of the deed OF gift,
which letter under certain conditions
might be construed as a challenge. He
was certain that if challenge were sent
it would not hold good unless the cup
committee granted the two conditions
demanded by Lord Dunraven. One of
these conditions is that the race be sailed
on terms identical with those in the VAL
kvrie- Vigilant contests. The other is
that the race be sailed earlier than De-
tober. He believed that after the letter
announcing the cup committees decision
had been received by the Royal Yacht
SQUADRON a letter had been sent to j. V.
5. eddie, Secretary OF the New York
Yacht Club, offering to challenge for the
cup on the conditions mentioned.

ANOTHER HOLD-UP.
The Texas and Pacific Road Selected
This Time.

inns L Ilhes
FoRr WORM, December 9.-The east
bound Texas and Pacific passenger train
was held up at q trestle seven miles west
of here at $50 P. NJ. to-day. Several
shots were fired from the front end Of
the train, and the passengers were
warned to keep their heads in the win
dows. The train was detained ten or
fifteen minutes, during which time those
who caught glimpse of the proceedings
saw three masked men with guns leveled
marching the engineer and trainmen in
and out OF the baggage car. When they
finished their work the robbers made
the engineer back the train over tres
tie, and while it was crossing disap-
peared in a thick forest. The passengers
kept SO close while the train was being
robbed that they did not know much
about what was going on, and the rail-
road men and express officials will not
make any statements, 1t is not known
how much booty was secured. The rob
bers had possession of the express car
until they accomplished their object.
One valuable package is known to have
been obtained. The safe of the messen-
ger was carried off. 1t is learned on good
authority that upward OF 100000 was
secured. The passengers say the whole
thing was done so quickly that there was
little of a story to tell.
