Special Herald Correspondence.

/ Special HERALD Correspondence.
! Pottsville, Dec. 1.-The principal topic OF
conversation among the politicians in this
section Of the county at present is the exclu-
sive announcement in these columns that
Senator Losch was a candidate for reelection
1t had been concluded by many, especially
those who have a longing for legislative hon
ors, that Losch would retire from public life.
and those who have cast covetous eyes to-
ward the Senate were not prepared for the
authentic announcement made by your CORE
spondeut after personal interview with the
Senator.
While tbe statement in reference to the
Senatorial contest caused CONSERVATION
among the several pronounced candidates, 1t
in no wise compares with the discussion in
dulged in by the supporters and members of
that political firm of Whitehouse Brumm &
Co., because Of the suggestion of coalition
between Losch, Duffy, Snyder and Wilhelm
with view Of rescuing the Republican
party from band of political misfts. 1t
was to be supposed that mere suggestion
along these lines would cause the present
selEassumed leaders to pull their hair and
ridicule the idea of any one assuming to
supplant them-but the handwriting is
visible, and the days of W., B. & Co., as
dispensers Of patronage and nominations is
of short duration. The rank and file of the
party are determined that there shall be
new deal in Schuylkill county, and that the
old moss-backs and political hacks must take
a back seat. This is essential, if party sue
cess is desired We must have leaders of
ability, who place party harmony and sue
cess above personal preferment and aggran-
dizement.
That being true, ones mind naturally con.
jures with the name of the Schuylkil Haven
statesman and the others referred to. The
men who have assumed leadership of the
Republican forces in this county during the
past quarter century, perhaps all received
their training under Senator Losch. and there
is not one of them living to-day but owes him
a debt of gratitude. His competency to
guide the good ship of Repubicaniym has
been proven in many hard-fought battles.
Ne is conceded to be, even by his most bitter
political opponents, one of the shrewd-
est and most diplomatic field mar
shals that has led the political forces in this
county for many years. Unlike those now
temporarily in control of the party organiza-
ton, whose very existence depends upon fact
ional contests. Senator Losch's movements
have invariably been directed toward party
harmony, with his batteries turned toward
the common enemy. Your correspondent is
in position to state that the Senator's one
desire is to have harmonious party and a
strong organization, and like the average Re-
publican be realizes that that cannst be ac-
complished under the present management
The second member of the new combiua-
tion is Daniel Duffy, who has won his spurs
in many hard battle. He wants the silver
lion and the gold lion to lie down together,
and feels there is very strong disposition
and desire to have a harmonious party next

70 0BVATE DIFFERENCES
Washington and Oregon
Fishing Industl les.
JOINT MEETING AT TACOMA
Measures OF n Common Interest to BE
Recommended to the Two Legisla-
lures for Enactment.

An unanimous agreement has been
feached by the joint legislative COM
mittees of Oregon and Washington
touching fishing industries of mutual
interest to both states. They formu-
lated resolutions making such recon
mendations as will, it is thought, OBJ
viate differences between the two states
arising from conflicting laws.
Among the points of agreement
reached may be mentioned the follow
ing:
Changes relative to the close season
for salmOn-ishing on the Columbia
river; the Sunday close law is to be
done away with; the Washington law
is to be made to conform with the Ore
gon law regulating the fall salmon close
season; the gill-net license is to be left
at $50, with the addition of an indi-
vidual license fee of s each for all
fishermen, as at present provided for in
the Oregon law; the set-net license
fee is to be raised in both states from
81 to So. 90; concurrent laws relative to
sturgeon lines on the Columbia river
are to be enacted; the appointment of
a joint commission to establish the
proper boundary lines is to be asked.
The agreements were reached at Ia
coma Saturday. The Oregon commits
sion consisted of Fish Commissioner
Mcguire, Senators Reed and DAILY, and
Representatives Myers, Curtis and Far
rell. That of Washington comprised
Fish Commissioner Little, Senators
Megler and McReavy, and Representa-
tives Colwell, Sims and Daniels.
1t was concluded to recommend the
close-season proposition should begin
at noon. March /, and close at noon,
April 10. 1t was recommended to
make the Washington fall season con-
current with that of Oregon-from
August 10 to September 10.
No settlement was arrived at on the
boundarv-line question. Both states
will probably appoint two citizens
each, who will select an engineer, con-
slider the matter, aud submit drawings
and profles at the net biennial session
in each state
