SUCCESS AT THE START.
Seiners Catch Many Bass and Destroy
Number of EnOrmOus Carp.

Seincrs Catch Many Bass and Destroy
Number of Enormous Carp.
The work Of seining the pools and ponds
in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal for the
purpose OF catching the bass and other
food fish therein and transferring them
into the waters of the Potomac and Ge-
stroying any carp that may be captured
in the nets is being vigorously pushed by a
party of United States fish commission men
under the direction OF Mr.. r. II. Dement,
-Four suits of rubber wading boots were
sent down last night from the Blue Ridge
Rod and Gun Club. and were taken to
Little Falls this morning for the use If the
seiners. The men were very much in need
of these suits. and can prosecute the work
with much better result, now that they
have them. The Seining commenced
late yesterday afternoon near Little Falls,
ard Mr.. Dement, reported last night that
2OU bass and great many other food fish
had beer taken and transferred to the
river. and that fifty carp. weighing fifteen
to twenty pounds apiece, were also cap
tCred and killed.
The fish commission men said they never
saw so many big carp captured in such a
short time. 1t will thus be seen that the
seining has started out most successfully
and there is no estimating the value of the
work that will be accomplished, because it
will restore to the Potomac fish that will
breed this spring. but which otherwise
would be prevented from doing so on ac-
count of the conditions of the muddy water
and the soft bottom in the canal DR.. Wal
ter s. Harlan. DIR. w. Pope Young and a
party of other wel-known anglers went up
to the scene of the seining this afternoon
to watch the operations, and II, as is ex-
pected. the work is continued tomorrow.
there will doubtless be large crowd of
visitors. to Mr.. Dement, and his associates
AT that time they will probably be in the
vicinity Of Glen Echo.

Belief That Two May he Named I'm n
Few Days.

n neilei 1h0t TWO Mny lie Named I'm n
Few Days.
There is feeling among many men who
are usually well informed on local matters
that President Mckinley will take up the
consideration Of the two District commits
sionerships early next week and name the
successors 10 Messrs. Ross and Truesdeil
before Saturday comes again. The impress
sion also seems to prevail and to be general
that Mr.. Ross will be requested to retain
the place he has flied with such ability
and to such satisfaction on the part of the
public, and that Mr.. Chap!n Brown will be
nominated to succeed Mr.. Truesdell Presi-
dent Mckinley is said to have become fully
equipped with a knowledge of the local
situation. and. as he desires to be untram-
meled by SO many considerations of patron
age when the extra session and the Import
ant matters II is called to take up dema nd
all his attention. ii is declared he will re-
lieve himself of the opportunities about tine
two leading District offices and fill them
without further delay.
The feeling described, however, has not
had the effect of weakening the efforts of
the other aspirants for the places ard
their friends. Commissioner Truesdells $
friends are working vigorously for his re-
tention, and Mr.. NJ. A. Baliinger's hame is
still mentioned as that Of a formidable
candidate The movements in favor Of DIR.
A. L. Pardon. Mr.. August Donath. Mr.. l..
NJ. Saunders and Mr.. W. c. Dodge and
others are also alive and active.
1t was gossiped about town today that
a number of influential business men were
intending TO present the name of Mr.. John
G.. Slater to the President as tine successor
of Commissicne Ross, and the fact that
be is a citizen of East Washington was
regarded as a strong point in his favor.
