The tarpon season has opened
at Homosassa in al glory. To.
George Dutton, son of Major Dut-
ton, of Boston, belongs the honor
of catching the first monarch of
the water of the present season.
The writer was with him on last
Thursday afternoon at Tiger Tail
bay on the Homosassa river when
he fought for five long hours be-
fore landing a II8 FOUNDER. 1t
was one of the grandest struggles
ever seen in the water. The big
fish took the mullet at half past
one o'clock and signaled the open
ing of the battle by leapirg high
out of the water and trying its u
most to shake the hook from is
mouth. Then up the river it shot
for over mile pulling the boat
and tossing the muscular angler
from side to side until his arms
ached with fatigue. Up and down
the river the great fish led the
chase, everv now and then leapiug
high cut Of the water until the
moon rose in the east. Not until
$50 in the evening did it give up
the battle and the gaff hook was
utilizsd to haul it into the boat. It
was the first ore ever landed by
Mr.. Dutton and he certainly had
reason to feel proud of his catch.
The fish was taken to Mr.. Dut-
tons beautiful home and placed
on the scales. 1t tipped the beam
at 1I8 pounds. It was brought up
to Ocala yesterday ard turned owe r
to Louis Volk, who will mount
and forward it on to Boston.

WILL OPPOSE CONFIRMATION.
Senator Teller Criticises Mr.. e. T..
Bryan's QunIificaIions.

In reply to 1, question, Senator Teller
said today chat ne would oppose the con-
firmation OF the nomination OF Mr.. Charles
Page Bryan to be minister TO China. Il
have" he said, known Mr.. Bryan for
many years, as he was formerly a resident
of Colorado, and my personal relations
with him have always been amicable. My
opposition to his confirmation is based
solely upon the ground that he has had no
experience or training that would justify
this government in selecting him tor the
most important mission we have at the
present time. 1t cannot be doubted that
certain European countries intend, ii they
can possibly find an excuse for SO doing,
TO oismember China and divide up that
great territory between them. l do not
believe that such hign-handed outrage
should be perpetrated, and if it is attempt
ed / think that other Self-respecting ma
tionS not engaged in the division OF the
SPELLS should enter very vigorous pro-
test. This attempt at the dismemberment
of China will in all likelihood give rise TO
Il serious and complicated diplomatic con-
troversy, in which this country will be in
vclved. 1t is hardly to be supposed that
under the circumstances We would be un-
concerned spectators of such proceedings
For this reason We should have in China
one of the ablest and most experienced of
public men. The mission to England,
France or Russia is at this time of less
Importance than is the Chinese mission.
lily opposition to Mr.. Bryan grows out of
the recognized necessity of having
strong man at this important post. and l
do not believe that the friends of Mr..
Bryan will contend that he meets these
requirements.
The opposition to Mr.. Bryan, though very
determined, appears to be confined to few
senators, and 1t is not believed that il
will be successful 1t is not based on
grounds that can be supported by tangible
charg IS, the only question raised being
that of whether he is stroug enough and
possessing sufficient experience. The mat
ter of experience is, of course, plain enough,
but it is a difficult proposition to measure
a mans ability. The impression seems to
be that the objections to him are too vague
to defeat the appointment The question
Of Mr.. Bryan's ability and fitness for the
position was naturally considered by the
President in making the selection, and the
suggestion on the part of few that a more
experienced man might have been chosen
would certainly not ordinarily have much
weight In the matter Of confirmation where
the President persists in the selection.
MI. Bryan was at the White House for a
shcrt time today.

ANTS GROWING BOLDER
Opponents of Senator Hanna Give Evidence
of Confidence.
Alleged Interview Between Kurtx
and Mclean Denounced as Treach-
cry by Major Dick.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 1S.-The
boldness of the anti-Hanna movement in
Ohio is growing as the meeting of the Rgis-
lature draws near. The report that Charles
Kurtz, the leader of the movement, had
been in conference with John r. Mclean
in Washington is regarded by Maj. Dick
as an evidence Of the perfidy of Mr.. KurtZ
The friends of Mr.. Hanna are now declar-
ing that the treachery of Kurtz Is proved
beyond doubt, and that the result would
be that the loyal republicans would rally TO
the support of Mr.. Hanna. Indeed, so de-
lighted were they over the fact that kurtz's
alleged visit had been made public that
they fell to discussing Kurtz's action dur
ing the campaign, and 1t was said that then
he was very often in conference with Nc
Lean in Cincinnati.
Mr. Hanna's friends still profess to be
satisfied with the outlook, and declare that
they do not fear the outcome.
The three anu-Hanna members Of the
legislature from this county held con-
ference with Mr.. kurtZ at Columbus last
night. When they left Cleveland yester-
day they made no secret CT their Intentions
of posting themselves upon the latest plans
of their leader When they left yesterday
they had not pledged themselves to the
cause of the opposition, but if they are
sa tiSfied that kurtz can win the fight they
Will enroll themselves with him. otherwise
tLey will vote for Senator Hanna. They
know that opposition to Mr.. Hanna and
defeat in the bargain means political sui
eide.
1t is more than likely that the price of
their votes will be that Mason shall be
made speaker of the house and that Burke
shall be elected vice president of the senate
Beyond a doubt the deal between the Fora
ker faction and the democrats includes tn.
defeat of all of Mr.. Hanna's candidates for
office in the organiza ton of the two houses,
and the election of these men would be the
logical result.
