The "oyster combine" seems to be an
actual condition and not Il theory. 1t
seems that the owners of the oyster
beds in Long Island sound and Nara
garsctt bay, and along the southern side
of Long Island have formed themselves
into trust" with a capital Of 5000, COO
which may be raised TO $4,000 OOO'-for
the purpose, as stated. of "steadying the
fluctuations in the oyster market" A
leading oyster dealer is quoted by the
Baltimore American as saying
"lhe achievement of the purposes en-
bodied In the trust will rebound very
probably TO Maryland interests 1t is one
OF those strange anomalies in trade in
which those who are outside of trust
will gather large percentage of the har-
vests of the trust.
"Marylands oyster prices are governed
very largely by the markets Of the North
Since we are virtually the main sources
Of supply in providing this luscious BIZ
valve. any upward tendency OF the general
market VIII be beneficial TO us. IT, there
fore, the organization of n northern trust
Will check the sharp competition among
planters there, which competition is one
Of the chief causes i'm reducing the price
OF the oyster. then it is sure to have the
effect OF buOying up the market in general
SO that prices will attain more favorable
point an along the line.
"Of course. Maryland can't enter the
combine because the oyster-beds here are
not private property"
The argument Of the Maryland dealer
may be true as 10 Maryland. but we doubt
whether the organization of the trust will
be of any advantage to our people in Viz
ginia. We should like 10 see prices
stcadied and made higher for our planters.
We fear however. that the price-rise, at
least, will not materialize with any degree
OF permanency. The ordinary effect of "A
trust, which is only another word for
monopoly. is 10 lessen prices TO the pro-
Queer by restricting the market, though
II may steady" prices. indeed 10 the
trade discontinue CT all copcsrped-except
those in the trust.

GOVERNOR LOWNDEs's LETTER.

With all respect for Governor LoWndes,
of Maryland, we would say that his last
letter 90 Governor Tyler, touching the
latest "ovster trouble between Virginia
and Maryland. simply threshes out old
straw. Maryland has had similar
grievances against Virginia before, ana
Virginia has had similar grievances
against Maryland. though, owing to the
fact that the Virginia oyster-beds are
now much richer than those Of Mary
land. the police-boats Of the latter have
been kept less busy pursuing trespassers
than has the oyster navy of the former
And the worst of it is that friction over
the matter in question is going TO con-
tinue TO recur until the two States get
together in a spirit of fairness, adopt a
sensible interstate law regulating pursuit
into the waters of each other, and recog-
nize the right of each other TO enforce
that law TO the letter.
Several efforts have been made in that
direction. joint conferences on the subject
have been held by legislative committees
OF the two States. appointed for The pur-
pose, and on one occasion at least ''reci-
procity agreement" that covered the case,
was drafted. But in the end the matter
has always been left just about where it
started. Nevertheless, we think the
d-particularly the record of the last
attempt to reach an understanding-will
show that the responsibility for net
coming to terms rests largely. if not
wholly upOn MARYLAND
Doubtless when the General Assembly
Of Virginia again convenes the question Of
a modus vivendi with Maryland in respect
OF the oyster question Will again be
brought up. and We earnestly hope Il
definite settlement will be reached. Such
a settlement will prove entirely feasible,
| provided the representatives, in ,he Mary
| land Legislature from the oyster districts
OF that State viii address themselves To
the consideration of the issue in a spirit
i Of equity, rather than in a political
! spirit. Virginia a. ks nothing in the way
of right of pursuit which she is aot will
| ing to grant to Maryland, and for which
| there is not precedent

The Engineering News and American
Railway Journal Of New York states in
it's last number that it has information
which indicates that the fire in the Wind
sor Hotel had been smoulderng for hours
before it was discovered. II says:
This Journal is in possession Of infor-
nation which indicates that the fire had
finally broke out. While il was thus
smouldering in confined space ii would
naturally generate considerable amount
of combustibe gas. which spread through
hollow partitions and floors from story
to story and which was at once ignited
when the flames finally burst out and
and allowed air 10 enter. The rapid
spread of the flames over the doomed
structure Is thus fully explained. and IL
has. in fact. been paralleed in other fires
in buildings OF this type of construction
whore the combustion has begun In the
concealed holows OF floors OF walls and
has gained Roadway before its discovery"
We learn from the New York sun that
the article quoted above was written by
d. Men. Stauffer. and was based upon in
formation which Mr.. Stauffer received
from a relative who was n guest Of the
hotel at the time of the fire. His room
was on the second or third floor. lie
was sitting in his room al the time with
his wife and daughter. For some time
before the hre was discovered they had
all complained OF the heat Of the room.
Suddenly flames were discovered By them

SALISBURY AND CHINA.

Ever since she outwitted ROsebery after
the war between China and Japan.
Russia has been making steady progress
towards dominating the Chinese situation.
Despite Salsbury's efforts to recoup and
checkmate her. and in defiance Of British
warnings that had the threatened back
ing OF British guns. Russia has obtained
concessions I'm China vastly greater and
more valuable than those secured by all
the other Powers combined. At the same
time she has played her cards so skilfully
as not 10 give Salisbury or any con-
tinental Power that openly or secretly
svmpathized with his policy, an excuse
for precipitating an open rupture. And
not only did the Gar acquire substantial
territorial acquisitions in the diplomatic
game that Immediately followed the hui
initiation Of China by Japan, but he
is in confidential touch with those in
the SECLUDED palace" and "on the island
i'm the garden" to which Salisbury
referred several days ago.
II will be remembered that the British
Premier said that the future Of China
depended not so much on diplomacy as
upon what went on in that palace and
on that island. In other words, the
danger TO British interests was involved
in the intrigues Of the Dowager Empress,
with whom It is conceded Russia's repre-
sentatives in China are hand in glove.
As il is recognized that in intrigue
Great Britain is no match for Russia. the
situation imparts increased probability
TO the assertion that Salisbury is be-
hind both Ita,y and Belgium in their de-
mands for strips Of Chinese territory in
arguing the FEASIBILITY of Salisbury )
occupying that attitude, It is suggested
and the suggestion is not entirely free
from suspicion of semi-ofiicial inspira-
tion-that from Italy he expects TO get
in return Erythrea. on the Red Sea, and
from Belgium a slice of the Congo Free
State. Erythrea, it is pointed out, com
mands one of the routes 10 the Soudan,
while Belgium will, III July. have the
right to annex the Free state, and VIII
then be in position to complete Great
Britain's coveted territorial chain" from
Cape 10 Cairo.
But the relations Of Great Britain TO
| Italy and Belgium in respect of their
African enterprises, are already such that
it is hardly necessary for her to back
them in China in order TO get from them
what she desires on the Dark Continent.
! She placed Italy on guard in the Red Sea
| littoral and she has the whip hand of
Belgium. We must, therefore, look
further for the real explanation OF any
connection she may have with the Italian
and Belgian demands upon China. This
| explanation seems to be that il Great
| Britain is to succeed i'm defeating Russian
intrigue in the far East, she must get
as many Of the Powers as possible vitality
interested in China, thereby increasing
her chances Of forming an anti-Russian
combination when the clock strikes the
hour for partition and a final trial Of
conclusions. And just here it may be
competent to ask how far Great Britain
is behind those in this country who have
recently manifested 50 much solicitude
regarding our future relations with the
| Flowery Kingdom.

Lincoln accepted this fact, and had ne

Plerpont's pretensions. Whether he would
have been uccessful-whether he would
have proved stronger than the vin1ic-

ton. We fear not. But certain it Is that

None the less. fanatical as was Cow

other questions, he was a kind-hearted
old man, and many Of our people nave
reason to remember him kindly. ms IS
nerflcularlv the case with a number OF
Confederate officers. who, during the war
went on raids into West Virginia. These
officers were indicted IN West Virginia,
and sheriffs and others sent here 10
arrest them. but Governor Pierpont re-
fused 10 surrender them. He took the
position. which he steadfastly maintained,
that the acts of the accused were acts Of
war. and immunity from punishment
therefor was guaranteed them by the
terms Of their surrender. In respect OF
this. and several other matters where
principle and goodness Of heart were in
volved. Francis II. PierpOnt put TO the
blush his political associates, and made
record that was scathing rebuke to
those who sought to use him as an In
strument of revenge. Whatever his faults
and whatever the wrongs upon Virginia
he stood for this acknowledgment from
our people is due his memory.
