what Reol,nes in oyster Beds.

While longing for oysters near st.
Michaels, Nd, one day last week an
oysterman caught a gallon demijohn
filled with whisky. The covering Of
willow wicker around the jug had de-
cayed and five large oysters were
found growing upon 1t. The oyster
man and some of his companions
tasted the liquor and said 1t was good.
How long it had been in the water Il
unknown, but 1t must have been thefc,
for years. A most singular story In
connection with the lucky And Is that
the oysterman had severe cough. and
one Of his companions, who was tong
ing near him, suggested that q littlo
whisky and glycerine would help him.
The oysterman said that he could
readily get the glycerfne, but he did
not know where to get the whisky. He
moved away from those with whom
he had been conversing and had just
commenced tonging when he brought
nm the gallon demijokn Of whisky.

A COUNTER CLAIM.

Harrisburg, Pa, January Pc. A.
Manufacturing, who is managing the
anti-Quay campaign, issued a state
ment tonight in which he says the
Senatorial situation is no longer COM
plicated nor uncertain. Mr.. VanVal-
kenburg claims Senator Quay's
strength was at high tide when he re-
ceived 113 votes, which is just fourteen
short of a majority. Against him are
139 votes, 81 are Democrats and So an
ti-Quay Republicans.
THE Quay managers have abandon
ed all hope of securing a single vote
from the anti-Quay ranks" he adds.
But while admitting that no Demo
crat will vote directly for Quay at any
stage of the contest, they assert with
an air of mystery rather than of con-
fidence, that at the proper time enough
Democrats will be found to supply the
necessary IA votes that Senator Quay
must have to elect him. The Quay ma
chine is bankrupt in the matter of po-
litical patronage. All the attempts of
the Quay people to create friction be-
tween the Democrats and the anti
Quayites have signally failed. Senator
Quay amassed all his strength to break
the anti-Quay lines last Wednesday
and failed. He has given orders that
every effort must be made to break
them next Thursday, but he will again
fail. Senator Quay may be able to
prolong the deadlock, but re-elect him

LIVELY TIMES PREDICTED.
(By Associated Press.)


Charleston, w. Va, January o.
Balloting for United States Senator be-
gins in the Legislature tomorrow. AS
the Republicans have a majority of
only n on joint ballot, and that one
is in dispute, the present struggle has
become a State edition of the Hayes
Tilden contest. The factional fighting
was ended when John T. McGraw, last
Wednesday night, received the Demo-
cratic caucus nomination, and on the
following night N. B. Scott was made
the Republican nominee. Since then
both parties have been working for
partisan advantages on the settlement
of contested seats. The Republicans
are fighting to hold their own, and have
a majority of one since two of the Re-
publicans have been unseated in the
House. AS the Democratic majority in
the House threatens to unseat others,
the Republican majority in the Senate
has pending three resolutions for con-
tests in the upper branch. Before the
order for balloting is reached to-mor-
row it is expected that there will be
lively scenes in both branches of the
Legislature in the line of retaliation.
The balloting may be continued from
day to day till both sides get enough
of the retaliation programme.

Santiago de Cuba, January 22.-The
order from the United States military
authorities in Havana directing the au-
thorities of the Santiago military de-
partment not to expend a cent of the
customs receipts without the permis-
sion of the governor general, and the
order directing that hereafter the bulk
of the sanitary work shall be done
without money pay and for rations
merely. were given to the local press
for publication yesterday, though re-
ceived here last Thursday.
Ell Cubano. in commenting upon the
instructions of the governor general,
says:
"The feeling is prevalent that the
only course now is to retire to the
mountains"
This. of course, is an e~xaggeration,
although the fact is that there are peo-
pie who make just such threats.
AS showing how far the province has
drifted backward since the first an
nouncement that the customs were not
to be freely expended for provincial inn
provements, the Santiago Heraldo re-
ports that a band of men are commit
ting wholesale depreciation in the May
ari district, where several people have
been murdered, and that another band
in the Guantanamo district have burn
ed all the cane prepared for pressing on
the Isabel plantation. These out-
breaks" says the Heraldo, ARE the first
fruits of the money GENERALIZATION sys-
tenn"
AS yet the Mayari report has not been
verified and Mr.. Brooks, owner of the
Isabel plantation, who arrived yester-
day, says that the burning reported of
the plantation must have been done
since he left, as the cane there was
intact when he started for Santiago.
He does not accept the report absolute
ly, but says that the adjoining planta-
ton, the property of Senior Bueno, was
fired at four different points. the entire
crop being destroyed.
So far as the order regarding sani-
tary work is concerned, a Cuban in
spector in the sanitary department told
Major George NJ. Barbour. the health
commissioner of Santiago, yesterday
that the Cubans of the province had at
last regained their self-respect and
would not work again for rations.
They do good work" he said, and
deserve to be paid in money. If they
are ordered again to work for r%ations,
most of them will go to the noun
tains."
The Independence, which publishes
the two orders, is comparatively tenn
perate in it's editorial comment, except
that it INDUCES in the usual personal
abuse of Governor General Brooke.
The editorial concludes with a def
ant declaration: "If necessary, the Gu
bans will know how to act"

AMERICANS In M
Reported to Be About to Send a Protest to
Washington.

MUNICH, January 22.-The Neueste
Nachrichten, which raised a storm of in
~dignation among the ~ultra-patriotic pa
pers by limiting that German doings in the
Philippines were largely responsible for
the delicate relations between the United
States and Germany, and as the German
foreign office knew nothing of them, it
would be advisable to institute an inves-
tigation with a view of avoiding the re-
%currence of such mistakes, makes the fol-
lowing announcement to-day:
THE Americans here have decided to
send to the Washington government a pro-
test against the anti-German expressions
used in the House of Representatives and
a declaration that no animosity against
American exists in Germany, where
Americans always meet with the most
friendly relations"

The real truth as to the situation in the

of the Congo State troops of late have

country is in a ferment, and the rebellion
is not being put down. The government
troops appear to fear the rebels, and the

THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

New York, January pa mass
meeting of citizens was held in the
Academy of Music tonight under the
auspices of the Continental League for
the purpose Of protesting against the
policy of Imperialism and entangling
alliances with European powers"
The meeting was attended by a great
crowd. Long before the doors were
opened, three thousand people were
clamoring for admission and in a short
while the police ordered the doors un-
locked because of the crush.
Ten minutes later there was not a
vacant seat in the house.
A list of vice-presidents was read in
GLIDING these names: Wheeler H.
Peckham, Abraham S. Hewitt, Henry
Loomis Nelson, VIM. H. Ho%rnblower,
Roger A. Pryor, Francis Wayland Glen,
John c. Sheehan and Frederic r. Cou-
dert.
A number of vice-presidents were an
nounced as representing the Central
Labor Union, including Samuel Com
pers, president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor; John M. Parsons, gen.
eral master workman of the X. of L.;
Daniel Harris, president of the State
Federation of Labor.
Communications were read from ex-
President Cleveland, Col. w. J. Bryan
and Bishop Henry C. Potter, regrett-
ing their inability to be present.
Mr.. Cleveland in his letter said:
Il am so opposed to the expansion
list craze now affecting our body poll
tic that any organization formed in OPP
position to it has my hearty sympathy
and approval"
Mr.. Bryan said that he was fully in
sympathy with every effort put forth
to save the nation from the dangers of
imperialism.
Bishop Potter wrote:
''The purposes of the meeting have
my hearty approval and l should be
glad if l had time TO say how strongly
| feel that the policy of Imperialism or
expansion, in any such sense as pro-
posed at present, threatens equally the
moral integrity of the nation and the
conditions on which it's prosperity has
hitherto rested"
Resolutions were adopted declaring:
First, that the full discharge of our
obligations to the inhabitants of the
Philippines requires hat we should,
without delay, help them W secure in
their domestic affairs, first order and
then liberty, and that we are absolutely
and unqualifiedly opposed to the annex
alton of the Philippine islands as a
permanent portion of the national do
main.
Second, that we are unalterably OPP
posed to the abandonment of this re-
public, of the American ideal of ma
tional growth, in favor of the Euro
pean ideal of colonial ~conquests; we
unreservedly subscribe to the theory
that government derives all its just
powers from the consent of the govern
ed and to the theory that there
should be no taxation without repre-
s~entation, and we believe, moreover
that such theories are wholly applica-
BILE to the inhabitants of all the places
abandoned by Spain, as the result OF
the late war"
