LEWES FACTORIES IN The TRUST
OLD COMPANIES CANNOT EN-
GAGE IN BUSINESS AGAIN FOR
TWENTY YEARS.

GAGE IN BUSINESS AGAIN FOR
TWENTY YEARS.
Lewes, March 3.-The trust organized
for the purpose Of controlling the fish
oil industry has been successful in
buying up the factories and oil works
along the coast. Captain John Fisher,
the controlling manager of the Della
ware Oil and Fertilizer Company, has
been in Lewes and in an interview gave
out that the trust had organized under
the name of THE American Fisheries
Company" with main offices in New
York, and further stated that the COM
pany had formally assumed control Of
the James Lennen G. Co. and Luce Bro
theirs factories here on last Saturday.
An agreement has been made about the
Delaware Oil and Fertilizer Company,
and its works will be turned over in a
few days. The plants ait the various
points Will be operated under different
names and separate management Here
the Name Of the Delaware Fish Oil
Company win be retained, embracing all
three Of the works. and Louis p. Allyn,
former manager of the Lennen & Co.
works, has been selected as the man
ager fer the new concern at this point.
NAAs ally II - Wtul huOWu ana n very
popular manager. His home Is in
Mantle Conn, but he will possibly
move his family to Lewes. What effect
the transfer of the works here will
have on the suit pending against them
by the government, as a nuisance and
menace to the health of the patients at
the United States Hospital and Quaran-
tine Station, is not known. Captain
Fisher refused to confirm the report
that the new company would increase
the capacity at this point to the great
est OF any factory on the earth. He
stated that there we're numerous rll-
morsbut he knew nothing authoritative
about the matter. According to the ex-
preston OF Captain Fisher the price
paid by the trust for the rights and
property Of the old companies was very
satisfactory. The ola companies can
not engage in the business again for
twenty years.

REDUCED FREIGHT RATES FOR
SETTLERS.

In order TO encourage the movement
OF settlers and land buyers from Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa and the Eastern
States TO Western Minnesota, South Da-
zota and North Dakota, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Ry. Co. has very
materially reduced its carload rates for
emigrant movables, 50 that farmers
who have purchased lands in Western
Dakota can take all of their belongings
With them to their new homes at small
expense, which inducement upon the
part Of the Chicago. Milwaukee & st

preciatod by those who are thus bene-

TWo YourHFuL PATRIors.

Little Lalla Cook is about the hap
plest child in Bridgeton, Comm When
she first heard about the Maine dis
aster she was very anxious to find out
whether amy little girl had lost father
in the catastrophe. Her grandmother
had given her a dollar to do with as she
pleased. and when she learned of the
number of children who had been be-
reaved she sent her dollar to theBridgs-
port Pest with the request that it be
forwarded TO one of the orphans. Mr.
Roosevelt has written the child a short
note thanking her for her gift. The
Maine incident has brought cut another
child-patriot from bhe West. This time
it is boy evidently boy with rough
ideas and little education. but with a
heart which promises everything TO his
country. The amount that he sent was
something like 81 cents, but his letter
stated that he had for a long time
wanted to do something for his country,
and so he sent all the money he had to
help build a new ship. A childish idea
such as this of the value OF money
may cause a smile. hut in Its deeper
signtfcance il means the patriotism
and the noble self-sacrifice that form
| the basis Of characters like Washing
| tens. Lincoln's and Grants.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
THE SIZE oF RIrSsIA


The census recenuly taken i'm Rus
sia is the first thorough official census
that bias ever been made in THAT coun-
try, and has resulted in showing that
the population WIS larger than most
persons had supposed. The inhabitants
of European Russia, exclusive Of Pol
and Finland are given ait more than
$4,000, 600, with 100000 in Poland and
2,500000 in Finland Taken altogether
the population OF the Russian empire
is more than 129, 900 600. This may seem
small when compared with the as
sumed population of India and China,
butt 1t is by far the largest of amy Of
the civilized nations OF the world.
The Importance of this showing is
made manifest when ID is Judged OF ON
a military basis. The notion which
prevails in Continental Europe lis that
each able-bodied man is not only a pO-
tentlal soldier, but one who should be
converted into an actual Fighter, and
the size of the great armies is deter
mined almost ais much by the men
available as II is by the financial re-
sources OF the government. The cen-
sus showing Indicates that, provided
the money were forthcoming Rus
sian finances have recently BEEN put
upon the best footing they have occu-
pied for many years-the empire could
put into the field about as MANY men
ais France, Austria and Germany COM
bined. 1t lis this fact, perhaps, which
gives significance to the well-mowD
prophecy OF Napoleon Bonaparte, that
Europe is destined to become either

THE STATUS OF THE BATrLESitiP
Like a thunderbolt from clear sky
the Havana horror has swept through
out the world Without a moments
warning the most advanced type Of
warship existing, equipped in the
stronghold Of invincibility with belted
armor and rAed guns OF enormous
calibre, the proud defender OF the ma
tion's honor became in one brief mo
ment a shapeless mass Of debris; a
whited sepulchre enshrouding hosts Of
brave men and still holding in deadly
embrace more OF the gallant crew than
the nation dares to realize.
In this dreadful calamity begins the
unlearning OF nations; the ridiculous
encroaching upon the subhmei the
power OF pent-up gasses in forty
dollar torpedo or a mine almost as
cheap. to place hors due combat a Si,-
100000 warship; an unstable plaything
OF the waves at sea. IL causes intense

cred that whatever in the past is his

GOVERNOR TUNNELL BEST MAN.

A Norfolk CVa) dispatch of to-day
says: A notable society event was the
marriage, at o'clock yesterday after
noon, at Armstrong Memorial Church,
Berkley, OF Miss Marion Stewart Bland,
daughter of Samuel Bland, of that
place, to Rev. c. /. Stengle, of Dover,
chaplain of the House of Representa-
tives of Delaware. Mr.. Stengle was ac-
cOmpanied by Governor E. w. Tunnel,
who officiated as best man. Ait 10
O'Clock yesterday nearly the entire
Delaware Legislature, thirty in num-
ber and the officers OF that body, came
down via the New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk railroad to attend the cere-
mOny. The Norfolk Light Artillery
Blues fired salute in honor of Gov
ernor Tunnel, his staff and the visiting
members of the legislature At the
marriage Governor Tunnel was best
man and the maid of honor Mrs. Hun
ter V. Baldwin, of Farmville sister OF
the bride. The ushers were. Thomas
F. Dunn, editor Of the Dover Index
Dover, Del; George e. M. Stengle, edi-
tor OF the Port Deposit (Md) Press,
brother OF the groom, and Joseph
Parks and Harry Roane, of Berkeley.
The church was beautifully decorated
FOR the occasion, and the nuptials were
solemnized by the pastor, Rev. W. A.
Slaymal1er
Among the guests of the occasion
were Hon. Hezekiah Harrington, lieu

nae NEW NASH MEAsURE.

Although the bill relieves the land
lords from One-half of the poor rate,
which now falls mainly on their shcul-
ders, some OF them are expected TO
criMcise the measure ON the ground
that no precautions are taken to re-
strain the county and district councils
from reckless extravaganza. There is
no guarantee, they may say. that under
the proposed system half of the poor
rate may not prove more OnerOus than
the whole does now. 1t is true that the
tenants of large holdings, who will con-
tinue to pay much the larger portion OF
the cess, will be as much disposed 10

composed the grand juries. But the
large tenants will be Overwhelmingly
outvOted 1t may be that, during the
passage Of the hill through Parliament
some restrictions on the taxing power
/ of the county councils will be imposed
and that if they are authorized to bor-
row money the amount will be limited
The general effect OF the measure
will be to transfer the control OF local
affairs throughout the greater part oi
Ireland from the Unionists to the Ma
tiOnalists. The members of the grand
jury are. with extremely few excep.
tions. Un.onists and landlords. The
members of the county and rural dis

LEGAL COMMISSIONERS work.

Those members of the bar who have
been delegated TO revise the existing
caws TO conform to the new Constitu-
ton. and to draft such additional laws
as may be necessary, ARE entitled to fair
treatment, both ait the hands of the
General Assembly and the public press
II must not be forgotten that the task
imposed upon them IS extremely par
ticular and important in all its points
and bearings. Instead OF hampering
and haraasing the commission, the
members should do everything in their
power to assist them in work of such
vital character.
There is but one proper thing to do.
That is, to ascertain when the lawyers
will have their work ready for legisla-
tive action and then to adjourn TO that
time, instead OF sitting around in idle
ness and imposing an unnecessary ex-
pense upon the state.
It is useless for the members to try
10 evade the responsibility for the pres
ent condition OF affairs. Last Spring
they were warmed by those who appre-
ciated the volume and gravity OF the
work, that it would require several
months in which TO accomplish IL Il
was suggested that legal commits
sion be appointed TO do the work be-
tween the time of the adjournment OF
the Constitutional Convention and the
roconvening Of the General Assembly,
but the movement was defeated by
those who either failed TO appreciate
the magnitude Of the work to be done,
or by others who desired to Winter in
Dover.
The several months OF time lost by
reason OF these people would have sur
feed to do all the work. including the
new registration and election laws and
the general corporation act in csiin
and deliberate manner, and but a few
weeks session Of the General Assembly
would have been necessary to ratify
their work
The opportunity was afforded and
lost. Now there is nothing to do but to
wait until the new laws are ready 10 be
acted upon. Nothing will be gained by
assailing and ridiculing the lawyers on
the floor OF the House or elsewhere.
Such things only result in further de
lay and the character OF the men en-
gagged in the work should protect them
from criticism as harmful to them and
their professional standing, as IT. 4
harasslng to the lawyers in the perfor-
nance Of their duties to the State.
II the General Assembly is dissatis.
fed with their work there is a quie'
and respectable manner of apprisinl
