The "R' and the oyster are now in
evidence-the oyster season on the Chesa-
peake bay and its tributaries having opened
yesterday, Friday. Not only is the advent
of the oyster season looked forward to with
pleasure by those who delight to have the
bivalve on the table, but it is a source of
livelihood to many thousands OF men,
many Of them heads Of large families, who,
during the summer months are unable to
obtain permanent employment, and are
compelled to exc out an existence doing
odd jobs along. To these men the season
comes as blessing All during fall and
winter the Chesapeake and its tributaries
are threaded with thousands OF crafts en-
gagged in longing and dredging oysters.
The outlook for this season is bright. 1t is
reported that all the oyster beds in Mary
land are in a splendid condition, and the
prospects for the business this year were
never better. Maryland has always been
famous for her oysters, and, as matter OF
course, always will be. Chesapeake Bay,
the lovely sheet Of water bound on either
side by the soil Of Maryland, and the num-
berless rivers and inlets along these shores,
form the natural home of the bivalve.
Nowhere is the climate, depth Of water,
character Of bottom, ETC., better suited to
the oyster, and nowhere have they been
found in such numbers.

New York. Oct. 31.-The south in min
iature with all the varied industries
and pursuits of that section of the

WILL NOT BE RELIEVED
Stale Department Has NOT CriiiCisea
WIIdTaH's Course.

Washington, Oct. 31.-The statement
that Consul Wfldman is to be reliev-
ed at Hong Kong by Dr. Bedloe. the
consul at Canton. on account Of the
aHegd connection of the former with
Aguinaldo, is erroneous. The state de-
partment has not had occasion to crit
icfse the course of Mr.. Wildman in that
connection.
DR.. Bedloe is now in this country
awaiting the action of the state de-
partment in his own case. There has
been an exhaustive investigation made
of certain allegations preferred against
DR.. Bedloe by United States Consul
Goodnow at Shanghai and other Off
cials, and the department has laid be
fore the president its conclusions in
the matter. Mr.. Cridler, the third as
sistant secretary of state, who pre-
pared the report which will form the
basis of action, found much 10 eN-
tenuate in the consuTs conduct. but it
remains for the president to determine
whether or not the extenuating cir
cumstances will warrant the retention
of Dr. Bedloe in the consular service,
at some point outside Of China.

prospects that the convicted man will

church throughout the world is today

ing in the situation at Guam to call
for any reinforcements OF the small
naval force on that island. and that
the report that additional marines

article in the Evening News of this
city comparing the characters of two
men awaiting trial for murder, in
which the writer extolled the virtues
of one man and decried the other in
no measured terms, said:
1T is plainly such an article as
might be designed for the purpose of
influencing the public against the ac-
cused man, and it is from that same
public that the panel which will try
him for his life will be drawn.
Il wish to announce that should the
attention of the court hereafter be
called to any similar article calculated
to prejudice the public mind against
an accused man to be tried by this
court, the writer and the publisher
will be summarily dealt with"

TO HOLD PYRAMID HARBOR
This GsVCTnmsni Has Never Con-
sidered lis Cessioa 20 Canada.

Washington. Oct. 31-Thera is au-
thority for the statement that at no
time since the negotiations have been
in progress for an adjustment of the
Alaskan boundary line has the United
States government given serious con-
sideration to the cession to Canada Of
a single inch of ground on the shores
of the Lynn canal That position has
not been changed in any essential re-
spect, and as Pyramid harbor is Ger
tainly on Il branch of the canal it fol-
lows that this government has never
had it il contemplation to surrender its
possession. There have been some ne
gotiations respecting the allowance to
the Canadians OF privileges of free
transportation of goods ever American
territory into British territory, pro-
vided the landing was made at one
specified point. An alternative to this
has been to lease a port on the Lynn
canal to the Canadians, thus affordi1S
them the right of free entry of their
goods, but it is pointed out that the
very fact OF the making of lease
would be full recognition of the right
of the United States to the territory
affected by the lease.
OF Mr.. Lewis mission to London the
state department knows nothing Off
cially. He did not appear at the de-
partment before his departure to Sc
cure any credentials, and so went en-
tirely on his own responsibility.

NO TINE TO QUIT
We Cannot Retire from the
Philippines Under Fire
Chspelie Discusses His
Forthcoming Trip TO ihe Islands.
The Funston Controversy Ended.
He Talks of Cuba and Porto Rico.

Washington. oct. 31.-Sccretary Root
received another call this morning
from Archbishop Chapelle, the apostolic
delegate for the Philippines, Cuba and
Porto Rico, who was accompanied by
Father 8IcKimmon, one of the Amer
lean priests who has seen much SER
vice in the Philippines. The conference
was for the purpose of discussing the
archbishop's forthcoming trip to the
Philippines. probably by the transport
Sherman, leaving San Francisco on the
10th ultimo.
The archbishop said today that the
controversy aroused by General Fun
ston concerning the priesthood in the
Philippines had now been closed. so far
as ne was concerned. although he hard
ly thought that General Funston had
improved his position by his latest ut
terance. saying the DOminicans We're
the ones at fault, as the archbishop of
Manila, one of the ablest men in the
islands and one who had done great
good in cooperating with the Ameri-
cans, was himself a Dominican.
When Archbishop Chapelle was
asked if he would express an opinion as
TO whether the United States should re-
tain control of the Philippines, he said
it was simply a question of whether
the United States should retire under
I !,
such doctrine. The anti-imperialist ell
emene the archbishop said. had gone
entirely too far in proposing that we
withdraw in the face of an armed en-
emy. There might have been some
question even among fair-minded men.
h" said, as to the desira ability of taking
over the Philippines. But that ques-
tion was q thing Of the past, and, hav-
ing taken over the archipelago under
the treaty Of peace, the present ques-
ton was narrowed down to the MAIN
tenance of American authority in ac-
cordancc with the responsibilities we
had assumed under the treaty
/ Archbishop ChapelIe who was pres
ent at Paris during the negotiations
leading up to the peace treaty. said
that he was convinced that if the
b United States had not taken over the
Philippine islands some other country
would have done so. Certainly Spain,
after the experience she had gone
/ through, would not have retained them
Moreover, the archbishop pointed out
that the Philippines We're the stepping
stones to China. with the vast traffic
which that empire was rapidly OPEN
ing to the world. He added that in
reality there was no such issue as the
one of imperialism" for the question
to be met was simply one of inteln-
gent dealing with actual existing con-
ditions and not with theories
In referring to Cuba and Porto Rico
the archbishop spoke of the excellent
work accomplished by Generals Brooke
and Davis, the respective governor
generals, and said that the maligning
of General Brooke, which appeared
from time to time, was quite uniusti-
fled, in view of his conservative and
yet capable administration of affairs.
In conclusion the archbishop said that
in his coming trip to the Philippines he
was going with an earnest desire to
assist both church and state.

PROSPECTS OF QUAY
friends Believe Senate Will
ignore pFeCedenfS.
The Story OF a Possible COmbiGa-
lion With Clark OF Hontsna-A
Sensational Fight is Probable.
The views of the Opposition.

Washington. Oct a1.-It IS expected
by Mr.. Quay's friends that he will
be elected to the senate by the senate
Their proposition boiled down is that
the question of an established prece-
dent will not be considered but that
the vote in the senate when the case
comes up viii be simply on the propo-
sition whether or not a majority Of
the senators want MI. Quay as a col
league.
It is not expected that the vote on
the question of seating Mr.. Quay will
be looked upon as establishing the
principle that the governor Of a state
may appoint a senator when the leg
islature, having had the opportunity,
failed to elect. a proposition already
emphatically negatived in the Corbitt
and other cases. but that the vote Will
be governed by the individual wishes
of senators as to this particular case
In other words. Mr.. quay. having
failed of recollection by the PennsyI-
vania legislature viii appeal to the
United States senate for election. Some
of his friends say that there is not
the least doubt of his being voted a
seat by the senate.
It is intimated that there viii prob
ably be a combination between Quay
and Clark of Montana, against whom
there is q contest on the grounds Of
alleged bribery in election.
Both these cases will be very de-
terminedIy contested, and it is thought
that q sensational fight Will develop.
Some of the senators who opposed the
seating of Corbitt as a matter of prin-
ciple, such as Senator Burrows, who is
a member of the committee. hold that
to admit the right OF a governor to
appoint a senator under the circum-
stances attending the appointment Of
Quay would result in Il Iegislati5e 5e
deadlock every time Il state legislature
was called upon to elect a senator,
and that it would finally get down to
where a U-ftei States selatorshiI
would become an appointive Office and
a part Of the patronage of the state
governors.
For this re2son they feel that the
integrity of the senate as a constitu-
tional part of the legislative branch of
the government is involved and that
the opposition TO seating Quay should
be carried to the utmost extreme be-
fore. yielding. It is recognized that ii
Mr.. Quay is seated it Will be on purely
personal grounds, but those who op-
pose it do not see how this can b
done in his case, without opening the
way for future filing Of senatorial va
cancies by governors appointment. Il
