ovERTUREs By ADDICKs MEN

The Union Republican State Central
Committee Monday considered the har.
mony proposition of the seven anti-Ad-
dicks Republican members OF the Legis-
lature, and framed another peace over
ture to be forwarded to the Republican
State Committee. ]. Edward Addicks
was present. The seven Regular Repub-
licans of the Assembly submitted the
names of ten Republicans of Kent and
Sussex Counties, any of whom they
would agree to support for United States
Senator, and they requested the Union
Republicans to submit the names Of ten
New Castle County Republicans from
among whom the other Senator could be
selected. In regard to this plan, the
Union Republicans declared the right of
q majority to rule, and offered to vote for
the caucus nominee OF the seven Regular
Republicans if the Regulars would sup
port the nominee OF the % Union Repub-
lican members for Senator.
As to the proposition to hold common
primaries to elect delegates to State
Convention, in which the factions are to
be reorganized into new Republican
party, the Union Republicans express a
willingness to be governed by the Regu-
lar Republican appointment of delegates
which would give the two lower counties
50 delegates, and New Castle County rs
delegates.

DELAWARE CRY INDUSTRY

Delaware City has new industry and
it promises to be profitable. The new
industry is. fishingfor herring and pre-
pairing them for trade, A building over
l00feet long has been erected and in this
the fish are cleaned, salted and made
ready for the market. The work Of CATCH
ing the herring has already commenced,
although it is early in the season for
them
There are two reasons why the indus
try has been established at Delaware City.
In Southern places the herring are not as
numerous as they were, and there is prac-
tically, a failure of the output from places
in the South. For years it has been a
known fact that herring in large num-
bers came to Delaware City. At times
there have been known to be several hum
dreds of thousands in the locks, and
are therefore easy to capture.
About ten men are now regularly en-
ployed In catching them. They have a
huge dip net which reaches clear across
the locks. They put this down at one
end and then walk slowly along to the
other end, and as they walk they scoop
up thousandsof fish. The men get as
many as 10, 900 fish at haul, ndseveral
hauis are made each day. The fish bring
a good price, and it is expected the new
industry will take the place of sturgeon
fishing, which at one time was a great
business at Delaware City, but during the
past three years practically abandoned.

STATE AND MARYLAND NEWS
TOMATO GROWERS FIRM

A. n. Brown one Of the best known
farmers Of Kent County has written the
following for the american Agrlcuhuria:
Tomato growers Of the peninsula each
year are less inclined to contract theil
crops with packers. That packers have
driven growers to this cannot be ques.
toned. Their methods have been such
as 10 antagonize mutual good will and
| best business results. In seasons of large
yields growers suffered severe loss of fruit
and valuable time in the delivery of the
crop by the apparent indifference and in
many cases utter refusal of the packer to
unload promptly wagons at the factory.
The practice of docking weights also
caused many bitter contentious. The
system of time settlements with growers
on their tomatoes aroused much unfayor-
able criticism and caused loss, and var
ious other matters, though possibly of a
trivial nature, yet helped to impress the
grower that he had the worst end of the
bargain, and that the packer was not
treating him justly.
The price at which the non-contract
tomatoes sold for also has had much to
do with the dissatisfaction with the con-
tract system. Growers cannot under
stand why our home packers can pay
only $6 to 81 per ton when the city packer
will pay 25 per cent, and, as was the
case last season, 200 per cent. more for
the same product.
The farmer is slow to believe that
while Gamers paid 81 per ton for toma-
toes delivered to the factories in central
Kent county, three years ago when the
canned product was worth 80 cents per
dozen, that he can only afford to pay 81
per ton now when the canned product is
worth 81. 20 per dezen. If they could
afford to pay 81 then, they should be able
to pay $40 per ton now. The high price
Of canned goods now should prove just as
advantageous to the grower of tomatoes
as has the high price of corn to the corn
grower.
: "Grewers hesitate to contract because
OF these many difficulties and this SEEM
ingly inconsistent position of the packer
regarding prices. The contract system
had better be abolished entirely than
through it the future of the canning in
dustry in this country, or upon this PEN
insula should be impaired. Every busi-
ness interest in the community wants the
canning industry fostered, farmers more
than all others, but unless there is more
liberal and considerate policy adopted by
the Gamer toward the farmer, it will
only be a question of time when the can
ner will be compelled to adopt such a
policy or seek other fields for his raw
material.
Farmers are entitled to more than 81
per ton for their tomatoes this season.
Terms on which futures can be sold JUS
titles this statement But in my opinion
no grower should contract his tomatoes
without it be expressly stipulated in the
contract that the packer take all the mer-
charitable tomatoes grown upon the num-
Der of acres contracted, and that they be |
unloaded promptly upon arrival at the |
factory and that settlement be made
weekly"

WASHINGTON LETTER

/ A FTER spending four days in the cor
sideration of the anti-oleomergarine
bill the Senate adjourned on Thursday to
meet again this afternoon. In explana-
tion OF the long adjournment Republic
can senator said Friday, AS you know,
the majority of the senators are men OF
affairs and, in addition to thewastanount
of committee work wIicIr devolves upon
them, they are obliged to devote some
time to their private business. United
States senators are more regular in their
attendance during the sessions than any
other legislative body in the world and
it is only right and proper that, at time
during the session, there should be recess
ses of sufficient length to permit them to
give to their private affairs such attention
as becomes Imperative" To-day the
oleomargarine bill will still be the order
of business but Senator Proctor will press
for an early vote. The debate, SO far, has
been the occasion of practically the
maiden speech of Senator Dolliver OF
Iowa, who made an eloquent appeal for
the protection of the farmers interests,
and of notice from Senator Harris, Of
Kansas to the effect that he would offer
an amendment providing for the control
of process, or renovated butter along
imilar lines to those provided for the
control of oleomargarine.

The sensation Of the week in Congress
was the introduction by Representative
Richardson, tue Democratic leader. of a
series of resolutions calling for the inyes-
tigation Of alleged charges based upon
what purports to be the secret report of
one Captain Christmas, an alleged agent
of the Danish government. in which
Christmas maintains that he has made
provision for the payment in bribes of
10 per cent of the purchase price of the
West Indies. The resolutions produced
a great sensation in the House, as they
were evidently intended to do, and they
were unanimously adopted. Speaker,
Henderson Immediately appointed an
investigating committee.
Middletown transcript., 1902-04-05


A Republican senator who stands very
close to the administration expressed him
self as follows when I asked him for his
opinion: 81 am glad that Mr.. Richard
son has taken this action. ]. l have no
doubt but that he intended to make poll
tieal capital out of it and in that he will
fail. Nevertheless, with such docu-
ment as this report of Captain Christ
mas, in the possession of the press there
were sure to be numerous filings at the
action of the Senate. in ratifying the Dam
ish treaty. This investigation will clear
up the thing and leave no ground on
which to base such insinuations. pre-
sume some Of the Senators whose names
are mentioned in the report will ask that
10 Senate sinvheI igation committee be also
appointed. The whole story will be
sifted to the bottom; Tt is my opinion
that this Christmas was an adyenturer
who, having been dismissed from the
Danish army, sought to make capital with
his government and secure his retinstate-
ment by. promoting what the United
States has for some time desired, the pur-
chase Of the Danish islands. He came to
this country with the preeonceiyed idea
that political conditions we're corrupt,
and he found plenty of people who were
very ready to coincide with his views SO
long as be would pay their expenses.
They were not, Of course, members of
Congress but, as you viii see By his re-
port, claimed 70 be able to influence Com
-gressionaf votes. 1nrthe slang OF the day
the Captain was q sinall-ealiber tender=.
foot He fell among thieves and was
played for q sucker. That, believe, is
all there is to it,, He was never officially
u6mr,lsslaied.hy his own government or
by this. The Danish Minister practic-
allYsrepadiated him and now he is trying
/ to, recover some Of the money cut of
which he was bunkoed by certain alleged
lobbyists. :,

THE ORNAMENT WAS LOADED.

The residence of Hiram Fulton of Hartranft, Montgomery county. pre- scented a scene of constrenation and dismay several days ago, when a swarm ofg hornets took possession of the en- tire house unexpectedly.
 Last fall MT, Fulton found an excel lent species of hornets nest and ffnd- ing it perfect and intact, he thought 1t would make an excellent ornament for his home. Acting on the impulse, he took the nest home and hung it in the parlor. That portion of the house was used very little during the winter, and several days ago. when his wife was preparing the house for visitors a fire was started in the parlor The room soon became warm, and their attention was shortly attracted by loud bug zing, and the next instant the room was filled with hornets that came from the ornamental nest The heat caused them to come out, and resulted in rush to escape from the room, Several of the family suffered from coming in contact with the business end of the in sects, and over an hours time was con- stunned driving them from the house.

 New York, May 7--After a strong opening, followed by sharp advances in most of the active stocks, there was considerabl ble profit-taking and the mar ket became quite weak again late in the day
 We advised customers yesterday to take profits on some of their long stocks and wait for another decline on which to make purchases, and it looks as though most of the stocks will go to about the figures named in our letter of May 5.
 If coal strike should be ordered 8 further decline is probable, which would prove to be the low points, but we hard ly look for prices to go below the low figures of May B. and think that stocks will be a great purchase around those prices.
 Chicago markets: A further reaction occurred in grains to-day, due to lqui- dation, but we advise buying when on a scale down and holding for higher prices.
