WHEELING, W. ' \ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 1896

Bogart, who was chairman, told the pso-
p!ethat AlT. Bryan was n . condition ap-
preaching physical collapse, and added
that it would be impossible for him to
make speech.
Lets see him, anyway" shouted the
crowd.
Mr.. Bryan at length appeared and
mounted the speakers stand. The rain
)was still falling in torrents, but the mass
of umbrellas in the square were lowered.
He took off his soft felt hat and bowed
several times in acknowledgment Of
plaudts, but he did not say word.
After staying on the stand for about a
minute, he returned to his carriage and
was driven off.
From eight until nearly ten o'clock a
corps of speakers had about 1000 per-
sons at the stand in Union Square in
anticipation of hearing Mr.. Bryan speak.
The stand was erected near the Wash
nigton statue, and the wind and rain
swept across the exposed square at
tremendous rate. State Senator Guy
presided, and one of the frs, speakers
who tried TO keep tn crowd in good
humor was Congressman McMilin, or
Tennessee. A roar of APPLAUSE and
laughter greeted the speakers state
ment that the money in which Wash
ington and Jefferson paid thsir bills was
good enough for him.
Senator Guy, shortly after ten o'clock,
announced that Mr.. Bryan had become
exhausted and would not appear. Mr..
Bryan went to his hotel and at midnight
lefL for the South.

CATION of two food shell fish in waters that
for some reason they have never thrived
in heretofore. The fishermen in San
Pedro Bay, who furnish fish for Los Ange-
les and neighboring towns, have neTer
been able to net large crabs such as are
found in the waters of San Francisco and
Monterey bays and along the northern
coast. They are ve-y anxious to secure
this she'll fish and have asked the Com
missloners to send o lot to them for breed
ing purposes. Their wish will be granted
and the Commissioners will soon send
from 600 to 1000 large crabs to be planted
in the waters of San Pedro Bay. The fish
ermen of Los Angeles have bad county
ordinance passed prohibiting the taking
OF crabs for two years.
In exchange the southern county fish
ermen will send to the Commissioners
large consignments of the razor back"
clam that is so abundant along the south
ern bays, but is unknown in the northern
waters. These CLANS are delicious and
are eaten on the half shell like oysters.
The Commissioners will plant the razor
backs in the waters of San Francisco,
Monterey and Tamales bays. Several
years ago Commissioner Emeric planted q
number of these CLANS in slough in
Contra Costa County and they have done
well. There is no reason, so far as can be
seen, why they will not thrive all along
this section of the coast. The. strange
feature is that the two varieties of shell
fish have never worked their way along
the entire coast.
