Preserve the Oysters.

The oyster supply of Maryland has been
gradually growing less for the past twenty five
wears. The natural beds of the bay are being
depleted and in the rivers the destruction Of
the oyster beds is rapidly being accomplished
Thirty years ago ten bushels OF oysters could
have been touged in the Chester OF Patuxent
river in less time than one can be now.
Every member of the legislature from the
oyster counties has known of this gradual de-
struction of this great industry during all these
years, aud yet have not had the courage to pass
remedial legislation for fear of loss Of political
influence If something is not done speedily
to protect the beds and thus build up the IN
dustry Maryland oysters will not be seen in a
few years outside of museums.
Twenty years ago responsible gentleman
Offered to lease the unproductive beds of the
Chesapeake, and stated that in few years
he could so increase the oyster supply that he
could pay million dollars annually into the
state treasury. He was not listened to, aud
all offers to lease the bottoms of the bay since
have been turned down BY the General As
sembly.
The present session of the Legislature will
soon close. and the Miles Hannah bill should
become law before adjournment. lis general
principles are right, and preserves the beds to
the use of Marylanders. II goes further, and
provides that assignments TO non residents are

Outside the Constitution.

The United States Senate decided on Fri
day of last week, by vote of SO to IL, that
with the ratification of the treaty with Spain,
ceding Puerto Rico to the United States, the
Constitution of the United States was. not ex-
tended to that island. 1t was a monstrous
decision, but then the Republican party is IN
monstrous bad position. Duty would lead
the party to extend to the Puerto Rlcans every
blessing guaranteed by our Constitution.
Dollars to the trusts, which control the Re
publican party, require the denial ofthe bless
ings of the Constitution in order that tariffs
can be laid against Puerto Rlcan goods.
Under the rule of Spain, which the Nc
Kinley Administration declared barbarous
and unbearable, Puerto Rico at least had the
blessings of unrestricted trade with Cuba aud
Spain. Under the Mckinley rule of ''benef-
cent assimilation her trade is hampered in
all directions. Her exports are met with a
tariff tax in Spain, Cuba and the United
States.
If Puerto Rico is outside of the Constitu
tiou, Congress must be held to be outside OF
the Constitution also The Constitution sets
the limits of the powers of Congress. If the
Constitution is not extended to Puerto Rico
how can Congress legislate for that island,
except by declaring itself outside of the Con
stitution?
The Mckinley Administration will have a
difficult task in explaining its record to the
people in the next campaign.

The Bribery Investigation.

ANxAro4s, Nh, March 20.-At the even
ing session of the House the committee made
the following report:
1.-THE committee appointed to investigate
the charges of bribery made against the pres
ent Legislature has completed lis investigation
into the charges made by Mayor Hayes, Of
Baltimore city, and find from the evidence
the following:
''First-I'hat Mayor HAYES statements in
the public press charging that the meinbers OF
the House we're being eorrupty influenced 10
vote against the bill known as the Telephone
bill were based on (a) the statement Of Mr..
John Real, member Of the Baltimore city
delegation. and I'D the statements by tele-
gram from certain Jacob Schoniarber aud
q certain William Russell, whom he had in
strucied to remain in Annapolis 20 watch the
progress of the Telephone bill.
.iSeeond-We, finding that the statement Of
John Real Is such that it would be absolutely
impossible 10 base a charge such a. was made
by Mayor Hayes upon, for the reason that the
person who attempted to bride Mr.. Real vas
unknown 10 him and Is still unknown 10 him
and had no connection with the telephone
company that We can ascertain.
"Third-We fnd that the statements made
by Messrs. Russell and Sehoniarber were
mere expressions of their individual opinion,
unsupported by any definite fact whatever.
''Fourth-We find that Mayor Hayes
made his charges before he knew of the ex-
istence of the Hoffacker letter given in evi-
denee, and that there is nothing in said letter
criminal or of which this House can take cog
nizance.
Your committee begs leave to further re-
port that it has gone into the matter thorough
" and has examined every witness who knows
or was supposed to know any fact upon which
said charges we're based; and further. that the
said charges made by Mayor Hayes were
recklessly and wantonly made, without any
sufficient or warrantable reason.
ave submit herewith all the evidence taken
before the committee upon which We have
based our findings. This, being a charge
made BY municipal official in this State, has
been investigated first, and we suggest that
any further investigation begun by the com
mittee of its own motion without any definite
charges before it would entail useless labor in
investigating with no appreciable results.
The committee, therefore, submits to the
House this report and leaves the matter of its
continuance or dissolution in the hands of
this honorable body
Respectfully submitted,
-. H. WALLER, Chairman.
&c. c. WATERS, Secretary,
The report was adopted and the committee
discharged.

OTIS TO SUSPEND OPERATIONS.
Rainy Season Will Interfere With
The Philippine War.

WASHINGTON. March l9-Active field OPP
erations in the Philippines are fast approach
ing an end until after the wet season.
The large forces maintained in the noun
tain districts pursuing Filipinos soon will be
withdrawn to the coast towns, leaving small
detachmentS to look after guerrilla bands.
Army officers here, as well as with General
Otis, disagree as TO the necessity for maintain
ing in the Philippines the present force of
more than 60, 600 men. They disagree also
as to the extent to which the process of sub
iugating the natives has been carried. 1t Is
said that the fighting until next autumn will
be confined 10 bushwhacking expeditions and
occasionally an encounter with bands attempt
to seize supply trains.
General Otis has made no official report as
to his view of the present situation after near
ly five months of active campaign work, IN
which General Lawton, General Macarthur
and General Young were the most active and
determined pursuers of Aguinaldo and his
supporters.
1t cannot be forgotten how freely it was
predicted by army experts both here and at
Manila that with an army of $4,000, afford
ing an active field force of &C, 000 the upris
ing would be crushed before the wet season,
Aguinaldo captured and the war at an end.
Dispatches giving accounts of fighting are still
being received every day.
The dispatches from Manila alleging that
General Otis was more concerned about the
situation in Manila than in the provinces Is
Ia ken by army officials to mean that he fears
an uprising may occur within the town, where
there is a hotbed of sympathizers with the
warning natives 1t would, it is thought, re-
suit in heavy loss of life and property.
Manila has always been the center from
which Filippinos in the field have received
intelligence from the Junta both at Hoag
kong and at Cavite of the feeling IN the
United States. Both General Otis aud the
Government in Washington are held respon-
sible by military critics for condition which
permits a well-known junta to be operating
right under the eyes of General OTIS without
protest or the arrest and Imprisonment Of q
single leader.
Army men here say there will be gradual
mobilization of the forces during the summer,
preparatory to another stand against the
Americans when they take the field after the
approaching wet season ends. However far
beaten the Filipimos may be as a result OF this
winter campaign, it Is not anticipated by the
most hopeful army critics that the war viii be
finally ended until after the Presidential cleo
ton and possibly another prolonged campaign.
Advices have been received from a number
of unofficial sources iu the Philippines that
the natives are so deeply impressed with the
assurances Of relief that they will continue
through the spring and summer their opera
tons OF annoyance to the troops, meanwhile
getting together IN large bodies ior the cam
paign later.

Murdered -Four With an Axe.

WILLAMsPoRT, Pa, March 19.-William

of his crime. Concluding his story Of the
butchery, Hummel says ~ am sorry that

In his confession he says: son November

illegal, because performed by a squire, and
that she was going to put me in Jail, get my
property and skip out She said several men
had told her all about it. We all retired about

hold of a hand axe went up stairs and struck
her on the head. Then while the babe was
cuddling close to her mother | sent the axe
into its skull. The two other children were
in the adjoining room, and when | entered
the room they covered down before me, but
without any pity in my heart | dealt each Il

For the Democratic Advocate
Keep 1t Before the People.

MEssRs EDIToRs.-I have read with keen
est interest the brief editorial in your issue of
March 10, under the heading ''The Decay OF
Nations and trust you will keep the lead
ing idea that it contains constantly before the
people.
The attempt now being made by the Nc
Kinley administration TO ape England in her
colonial policy, will speedily overthrow this
nation if persisted in. Look at our awful
record in the Philippines and then say if there
is one single thing in this war against the Fill
ipinos that an American citizen can be proud
of Murder and robbery is the tale from the
beginning up to the present time, and the end
is not yet.
We are taught to abhor murder and theft,
when committed by the individual; why, then,
should any of us praise it when done by the
government? Permit me in closing to express
nv utter detestation of the horrible work that
has been done by VIM. Mckinley, in his en-.
deavor to subjugate the Flipinos by ''benev-
client assimilation.
The whole world now knows with what
perfdy he treated brave and trusting allyi
consequently the whole world now regards oar
government with loathing and contempt.
