OYSTERS A
LIVE TOPIC.
1t Was Discussed Before the
Legislative Committees.
CORPORATION COMMIssI'N
Meeting To-Day to Perfect the Law for
the Guidance Of This Body-How
Senator Anderson Won
His Victory

The oyster question Is right up to the
front, as 1t always is when the Leglsla-
ture Is In session There was joint
meeting Of the Senate Committee on Fish
and Game and the House Committee on
the Chesapeake and It's Tributaries yes
terday afternoon to consider the Jordan
bill, which Is designed to break the Bay
Tor survey. Argument was heard on both
sides, but no action was taken. The mat
ter will be further considered this after
noon.
The Committee on Fish and Game gave
some consideration to the bill prepared by
DR.. John w. Bowdodn, providing q gem.
eral game law for the State, but no ac-
ton was taken.
There will be a Joint meeting OF the
Committees on Roads and on General
Laws to-day at $3.50 o'clock to consider the
report OF the joint subcommittee which
has had under consideration the corpo-
ration commission bill. Tho joint sub
committee Is composed Of Messrs. Hunley.
Kelley and Cumming On behalf OF Gem
eral Laws, and Of Messrs. Churchman,
Cation and W. w. Baker on behalf Of
Roads. These gentlemen have devoted q
great deal Of time and careful work to.
perfecttng the bill, and 1t is believed that
their report will be adopted. The COR
poration commission begins Its work un-
der the Constitution ON March LIST, and
every effort will be made to pass the bill
by that time, so that no inconv enience
1tll no ny cio cd ~ rIyo If ho
sary laws to enable the commission to
organize and to govern Its action.
Colonel George Wayne Anderson IS be-
Ing warmly congratulated upon his sue
cessful fight for his bill in regard to the
extension of corporate limits of cities
The Colonel certainly deserves all the
credit b coming to ham. "A 1persont
with less tact would have lost, fori the
vote was mighty close. Senator Anderson
went about this thing methodically. He
accepted every amendment offered that
did not destroy the principle Of the act,
and when the matter was ''clinched,.'
Colonel Anderson wanted vote which
he got, and that is why he won out.

JUDGE YOUNGBLOOD'S VIEWS.
Tells SOutherners at New Orleans
His Personal Ideas on the
Race Question.

New Orleans, Aug. 29.-Judge F. M.
Youngblood, of Carbonate, ILL.,, is in
New Orleans. In response to an in
Quiry as to what he attributed the in
crease in the number of lynchings in
the north, particularly in Illinois,
Judge Youngblood said:
'"To the increase in crimes that
merit lynching among the negro popu-
lation. / believe that the north is
more keenly beginning to appreciate
the situation of the south than former
ly. 1t appears to me that tie situation
between the two races is daily becom-
ing more and more strained and would
seem to tend to a future race war, the
deplorableness of which upon the coun-
try could not be estimated
"In regard to equality granted the
negro in the north, will say that the
respectable republicans and the demo-
Gratis have nothing whatever to do
with him, more than the white people
have in the south.
The Booker T. Washington incident
has caused profound disgust through
out the north and it is generally felt
that it has injured the negro more
than any recent incident"

held conference over the "interna-

Magelssen at Beirut. Secretary Hay
arrived on the 1890 train Friday
The president is terribly in earn

shall make amends for the out
rage, and that the would-be assassins
of Vice-Consul Magelssen shall suffer
for their crime. If the porte shows
any ugly disposition in the matter, Ad-
miral Cotton's warship may be ordered

SAYS EVERYONE DOES IT
Three Young St. Louis Physicians
Are Under Arrest.
They Are Charged with Appropri-
atfng Supplies From POOrhouse
Dispensary for Private Use.

st. Louis, Aug. 29.-Three young
physicians are under arrest, charged
with stealing medical supplies from
the dispensary at the poorhouse. Alex
ander McCully and Emanuel T. Urban
were employed there as assistant ply
sicians. The third, G. F. Knapp, was in
practice, and had an Office on the third
floor of the Imperial building, down
town.
For some time Supt. H. e. Hart and
Health Commissioner Simon have sus-
pected that stealing was going on, but
until Thursday no positive evidence
could be obtained
When Dr. Knapp was arrested in his
office there was found satchel filled
with medicines, some bearing the la
bells of the poornouse. Seeing that he
was trapped, Knapp admitted his guilt.
DR.. Urban also confessed that he had
been in the conspiracy, and both the
young men seemed surprised that their
actions were considered a crime. Ev-
erybody did the same, they said. Both
Urban and Knapp were formerly en-
ployed at the female hospital, and they
stated that they thought they were en-
titled to use the city's drugs in their
private practice. When Knapp left the
city's employ and Urban was trans
ferred to the poorhouse last April, the
latter continued to furnish his friend
with medicines, he said.
Their method was simple one.
About once week DR.. Knapp would
take dinner with the two. He would
take a satchel and when he left IL
would be full

DOZEN PERSONS ROBBED
Six Masked Men Do a Bold Job at
Mcfarland, Kansas.
Tho Rock Island Station Held I'm. with a
General Looting and Not
Shot Fired.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. ga special to
the State Journal from Mcfarland.
Kas., says:
AT one O'Clock Friday morning six
masked men, heavily armed, appeared
at the Rock Island depot and started
10 enter the Office door. Conductor
Monnehan of freight train No. As,
which had just pulled in, and Night
Baggageman Charles Toler saw them
and hurriedly attempted to block the
door, but the robbers forced an en-
trance and after taking their money
and watches, beat the railroad men in
to lnsensibility. They then rifled the
depot OF its contents and going hur-
riedly to the eating house, held up and
took all the valuable from half dozen
men on the platform employed at the
roundhouse, and part of the train
crew. Passengers at the lunch counter
scurried up stairs and blocked the en-
trance effectively. The bandits then
looted the eating house cash register
and silverware, doing their work in a
cool and collected fashion after the
manner of veterans.
Then, apparently as joke, they
marched and carried six of the Rock
Island employees, including the night
hostler and Baggageman Toler, and
locked them in refrigerator car and
disappeared in an easterly direction.
During the 30 minutes of their pres
ence, not a shot was fired and only
Monnehan and Toler were injured.
Two hours after the robbers disap-
peared, Sheriff Frey had organized a
posse, released the prisoners from the
refrigerator car and galloped in pur-
suit. The bandits were headed to-
wards Topeka
The bandits secured eight watches
and probably $3.50 in money. They left
Mcfarland on foot. The night agent
at Paxico, four miles east of McFar-
land, saw them pass by along the
tracks on foot at 2:30 o'clock.
