OYSTERS ARE BEING
DESTROYED BY MUSSELS

The oyster industry Is threat
cned by a new enemy more destructive
than the drumfsh--the mussel. With
in tIhe last two months the mussels
have waged such a warfare against the
oysters and clans that the planters are
fearful for the life Of their trade.
The mussel usually attaches itself Ia
the shell Of an oytser or clam and soon
eros all over it, snuffing out the
strength Of the oyster until il finally
dies. Planters say that the bottom Of
the bay is at present covered with
thousands Of oysters killed in this man
ner.
The only known means to fight the
mussel is to draw the oysters out OF
the water and let them lie on the bank
IN the sun. The mussel soon dies. but
the oysters can be resuscitated by be.
ing returned to the water. But this
method is not practical in the handling
Of large quantities of oysters. and un.
less the planters devise a better one
this fall viii find them facing a Sc.
rious oyster famine

talent through lack of business management.
man. who sought to speak the advisability of
electing an assistant to the Bishop was said to
be out of order. the chairman declaring that the
assembly called, not discuss whether
should have assistant bishop but simply to
provide funds for one, yet later members
allowed to speak upon this very point; and, to
the climax of absurdity, although the gathering
was an informal one, representing nothing, a vote
permitted to the effect that coadjutor bishop
should be appointed.
a coadjutor bishop unnecessary. but they evil
IDENTIFY objected to the gilded trap which they
had been invited. To bring hundred influential
business men to attend day meeting to cut off
business to raising money something they might
not want and to attempt 10 do this with fnan-
cial plan and intelligent data to act on, is
specimen of the way business has been often done
in this diocese
There are several outside bishops, as is positive
" known, who for Sl.e00 year viii gladly do all
the work Bishop Starkey cannot attend Re
lieve our Bishop, by all means, but choose some
other way. In anticipation Of the time when
bishop must be elected. raise the episcopate
fund TO at least $4,000. and then they will have
something better offer a good man when he Is
needed than assessments on parish bonds.

NO CANAL ROUTE YET.
GOVERNOR ODELL DENIES RUMOR THAT
HE HAD DECIDED ON ONE
BY THE LAKES
EBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE. ]

Albany Nov 30.-The rurnor here yesterday
that Governor Odell had decided to favor the
lake route for the proposed barge canal. and
hence had rejected the plan for a canal Of that
kind directly across the State from the Hudson
River to Lake Erie, proves to be without foun-
dation The lake route provides for canal
from the Hudson River Oswego, on Lake
Ontario, uses Lake Ontario as far west as Oh
colt or Lewiston. in Niagara County for the
succeeding section of the canal. and then has a
canal from the shores of Lake Ontario. at Oh
colt or Lewiston. constructed TO Lake Erie.
Speaking about the various routes for the
barge canal under consideration, Governor
Odell said at the executive mansion tonight:
have not rene he'd any conclusion for rec
ommendation regarding the routes for the
proposed barge canal, and will not until
have had consultations and received nd
vice from those who are more competent
than 1 Judge of the practichbiiity or
the routes.
State Engineer Bond said tonight that it was
immaterial to him which route selected for
barge canal; whether by the Mohawk-Seneca
River route, across the State, or by way of
Lake Ontario"
Il made that statement in Buffalo six months
ago he said, and [ repeat it now. l am
supplying Governor Oden with information
about the cost of carrying out the work of canal
improvements by the various routes That in
formation take out of my report on the barge
canal submitted to the Legislature in 1901.
Mr.. Bond returned to-day from Network
City. He said he informed while there that
A. h. Blackmar. counsel of the Produce Ex-
change. would submit to the Greater New York
canal Association tomorrow bill for sub
mission to the legislature for the Improvement
OF the Erie Canal by the Mohawk-Seneca River
route. That route would involve expendi-
ture of Sl2,264, $40. To this sum there would be
added the cost of improving the Oswego Canal
and the Champlain Canal The cost of i'm
proving the Oswego Canal, if to il is given a
nf min faaf ,triII he -. yf
OF twelve feet is given. it will be S5,110 129.
Then the Improvement of the Champlain Canal
Will cost 4IJ06OS The grand total for the
improvement, of the three canals, if to the
Oswego Canal is given depth of nine feet
will be S76532 446; if a depth of twelve feet is
given 1t will be So. IS5, J63.
1t is the understanding here that after the
Greater New-York Canal Association has put
the bill respecting the improvement of the
canals in a shape in which 1t meets with it's
approval it will send the document to Gov
ernor Odell for his consideration. The cost of
carrying out the plans for a barge canal by
the lake route by way of Olcott. It is esti-
mated. would be S54 10S279; by way of Lewis

OF ALDERMEN TO lombard BOARD.
The Central Federated Union at its meeting
yesterday decided to make another attempt to
have the labor clauses inserted in the Pennsyl-
vania tunnel franchise when the resolution
comes I'D before the Board of Aldermen for a
final vote tomorrow. Philip Kelly, of the The
atrical Protective Union, one of the delegates
who attended the meeting of the aldermen last
week, made a report in which he said that the
labor men who took the floor at the meeting to
speak in favor of the labor clauses had ac-
Quilted themselves we'll and made convincing
speeches
LAS to Edward NJ Shepard he added, "he
stultifed himself when he spoke in favor of the
franchise in it's present form. He posed as the
friend of labor when he was asking for our
votes as candidate for Mayor. Now that he is
the paid counsel of the commission he gives
la Dor the cold shoulder and opposes what we all
want so much
Delegate Kelly gave it as his opinion that the
way that Alderman Sullivan read his own
speech in favor of the insertion of the labor
clauses was fine piece of elocution-
Whether he was the author of the speech
himself or not" continued Kelly, lit was hne
speech and we'll delivered. I have no doubt.
however, that though he is young man, 1t was
his speech
A delegate said that the whole thing showed
that the Democratic party was not the rriend
of the workingmen it pretended to be. Delegate
Qunlan. of the Pipe Calkers' and Tappers'
Union. urged agitation for the organization
of labor political party which would elect its
own aldermen.
81 have my doubts as to whether in
duce the aldermen to vote against the franchise
it stands he added, and 1 suggest
that the unions at once assess their members
for the purpose of organizing the party"
Delegate Qunan's suggestion fell fat. 1t
was decided that all the delegates who could
get away tomorrow should attend the meeting
OF the Board of Aldermen to protest against the
aldermen voting for the franchise without the
labor clauses The chairman instructed the
delegates to try to get the floor at the meeting
Of the aldermen for as many of their number
as possible in order to lombard the aldermen
with speeches in favor Of the labor clauses.
