"The report that the rins we have had
will injure 20 great extent the oyster
crop and the oyster trade this fall be-
lieye is Incorrect" observed a prominent
local dealer to q reporter. THE oyster
beds affected at all are those in Galvest IN
bay and ] suspect that even there only
on the reefs near the river mouths have
the oysters been killed by the unusua
amount OF fresh water. Something OF the
kind happened In the bay in 1888, but We
managed TO get enough oysters from the
eastern part OF the bay to supply tn,
market. OF course. the market at that
time WAS not nearly so large as It is now.
But then VIC did not have any other source
TO get oysters from Now, on the other
hand, We get fine oysters from Louisiana.
Corpus Christi and Port Lavacs and the
prospects are for a good oyster crop at
all these places this season.
The circulars OF the Port Lavana peu-
pie are already ont. And not only DO they
make no complaint about the size Of the
crop, but they 20 so far as to declare they
will have finer quality OF oyster to ship
than ever before.
There will be plenty of oysters thi.
fall at fair prices"

New York. Feb. "A survey of the
first half of the report of the Phil
ippincs commission. as submitted to
the president, is published here. The
commission believes it would be safe
and cxpedient and desirable to grant
to the inhabitants of the archipelago
home rule in local affairs. The towns
should enjoy the rights and privileges
Of towns in territories of the United
States. The provinces should be
turned into counties, with the same
functions as counties in the United
States. This system might be APP
piled to Luzon and the Nisayan is
lands at once. 1t is intended that the
Filipinos shall govern the towns and
counties by self-elected officers, sub
ect to general laws. The suffrage
should be restricted by educational
or property qualifications, or both.
\ small body of American officials of
great ability and integrity should be
appointed to advise the town and
county officials in the discharge of
heir duties. One commission for
each $50, 900 natives might suffice.
The commission advocates a second
class territorial government for the
archipelago, in which only a portion
IF the legislature should be chosen by
he FiIipinos. The commission would
| have no American placed in office
when Filipino would do as well, and
he merit system should be adopted

| benefit of the islands The scheme OF
| government should be put into effect
