OYSTERS AND FIsH.-Qn the motion
OF Senator Wilkinson, a special joint
committee, consisting of two Senators
and three delegates, yet to be named,
was appointed by the Maryland Legis-
lature last night to meet q similar COM
mittee from the Virginia Legislature,
TO see if an agreement cannot be reach
ed in reference to concurrent legisla-
ton for the taking of oysters from the
waters of Maryland and Virginia, and
also to prescribe similar %punishments in
the respective States for the violation
of the law. Both Senators Wilkinson
and Waters stated that Speaker Cald-
well, of the Virginia House, whom they
met last Friday in Washington, had
said that Virginia was DESTROYS of hav-
ing a concurrent law. They also stated
that the Virginia Legislature was
ready to enact the concurrent Gull law
for the Potomac river, agreed upon by
several committees from the two States
which met last year.
Senator Seibert introduced a joint
resolution requesting Congress to i'm
prove the 6shway on the Potomac river
at the Great Falls so that shad, herring
and black bass may have easy access to
the upper Potomac. Some years ago
Congress constructed a fshway at the
Great Falls, but it has proved inefiect-
nal. Senator Seibert urges that, by the
expenditure of a comparatively small
sum OF money, the Great Falls fshway
can be blasted ont, so as to permit fish
to enter the upper Potomac.

WRECKED BY A BoMB.-Edeon Bre-
ton, twenty-three years old, threw a
bomb in the cafe of the Hotel Terminus,
at the St. Lazare railway station, in
Paris yesterday evening. The bomb
exploded in the middle Of the room and
wounded twenty persons.
An instrumental concert began in the
cafe, which is on the ground floor OF
the hotel, at eight o'clock. Shortly be-
fore nine, a pale, thin young man, with
a light, pointed beard, paid for a drink
which he had taken at a table near the
middle of the room, and started to
leave. When neal the door he turned
suddenly, drew a bomb from his coat,
and threw it toward a group of persons
who had sat next to him.
The bomb struck an electric light
fixture, then fell on a marble table and
exploded. The great hotel and station
were rocked by the shock. The mir
rors, windows and door were blown to
atoms. The ceiling and floor were rent,
and the walls were cracked. A dense,
offensive smoke filled the cafe for four
minutes, and in the obscurity the
bomb-thrower escaped. When the
smoke cleared away, five persons were
found severely wounded, and fifteen
had slight injuries. The bomb had
been filled with bullets and rough bits
| of iron, which had riddled the furniture
and walls, and inflicted most of the
wounds.
After leaving the cafe, the bomb
thrower started down the street on a
run. Three policeman had just passed
in an omnibus when the explosion &C.
Cured. They were going on dnty,
and jumped to the street the moment
they saw the fugitive. The young man
turned on them as they called to him
to stop and fred FIVE shots. Policeman
Poisson fell, badly wounded in the side.
Policemen Lenoir and Bigot, however,
continued the pursuit, and, with the
help of Policeman Barbes and q waiter
named Tissicr, overpowered and arrest
ed the bomb-thrower. They took him
to the police station in the Rue de
Moiscou, where, after some hesitation,
he gave his name and age.
Meantime the sound ofthe explosion,
the smoke and cries of the wounded
had attracted a great crowd to the
Hotel Terminus. Doctors dressed the
wounds of the injured, some of whom
had been carried to rooms in the hotel,
others to the drug stores in the neigh
borhood. Breton, when seen in the
police station, showed effects of his
hasty fight and tussle with the police.
The removal of his outside GOA had
revealed a collarless flannel shirt and
the general garb of o workingman.
In his pockets the police found a pair
of brass knuckles, a dagger, a Swedish
knife, a siv-chambered revolver, a gold
half.louis, two franc pieces, eleven sous
and a silver locket, containing a lock
of brown hair tied with a ribbon. He
said that he was a cabinet maker, and
had arrived in Paris from Marseilles
yesterday morning.

SENATE.

Senate bill to continue in force for
ten years the act of March ., 1885, to
protect the fish in the Potomac river in
the District of Columbia and to provide
a spawning ground for shad and her
ring in the Potomac, was reported by
Mr.. Coke and passed.
Senate bill making labor day (the
first Monday Of September in each year.
q legal holiday, as other public days,
was reported from the committee on
education and labor, and was placed on
t le calendar.
Mr.. Gray resumed his speech (begun
yesterday in support of the resolution
from the committee on foreign rela-
tons, declaring it unwise and inexpe-
dent to consider further the treaty or
project of annexation Of the Hawaiian
territory; that the provisional govern
ment there should be allowed to pursue
its own line of policy and that foreign
Intervention in the political affairs OF
the islands would be regarded as an act
u~nfriendly to the government of the
United States.
After reading some testimony show
ing q statement by Mr.. Soper that he
had assurances from the old mar him
self'-meaning Minister Stevens-Mr.
Gray said that that testimony left no
room for doubt that the revolution in
Honolulu never would have occurred
had it not been for the assurance that
the military forces from the United
States warship Boston would be on
shore to support and c|ountenance what
was to be done toward dethroning the
Queen and establishing the provision al
government.

THoUGHTIT WAS A BoMB.-An an
archist named Boisson, n of the many
arrested during the recent police raids
on anarchist haunts, was placed on
trial in Paris yesterday and convicted
OF having explosives in his possession.
The judge sentenced him to four
months Imprisonment. Boisson stood
in a defiant attitude while sentence was
being pronounced upon him. AS the
Judge concluded, the prisoner, who had
q large piece of bread in his hand, drew
back his arm and threw the bread at
the Judge. The missile struck the
Judge on the nose. As Boisson threw
the bread he shouted, addressing his re-
marks to the court and the court at
tendants:
"You are a crowd of pigs. We will
blow you all up. Long live anarchy
The act of the prisoner created great
excitement in the court, many of those
present thinking the piece of bread was
a bomb.

THE BIRTHDAY of President Lincoln
was celebrated in many of the cities OF
the North yesterday. Banquets were
given and speeches made. In all the
latter, the speakers seem to have We'd
with each other in their attempts to
revive the animosities of the war, and
in their abuse OF the people of the
South. How different is all this from
the speeches made at the celebrations
of President Dayis's birthday in the
