.CHlNAMEN TALK OF
WAR WITH RUSSIA
Are Incensed at Treatment, But
Realize Hopelessness Of
Such a Contest.
lRv Associated Pressl

(By Associated Press.)
PEKIN. Nov. 5-Paul Lessar, the Rus
sian minister to China. has reported the
demand OF Russia for the execution OF
Major Wong, who recently decaptated a
noted brgand in Russian employ, and the
dismissal of Yuen the Taotai of Mukden,
who isjWong.s superior officer. The Chi
nese officials hero are unable to inform
the Associated Press whether Russia pro-
posed to withdraw her troops from
Niukden and release the Tartar general
Of that city, now held In custody In his
yamen II these demands are granted.
The Chinese are more enraged at the
Russian proceedings at N1ukden than tn ey
have been by any events since the cap
ture OF Pekin. Some of the hot-headed
members Of the council have advised I ~
Dowager Empress to declare war on Rus
sia and send troops to release the Tartar
general whose detention at Mukden
wounds Chinese suscepibilities. since 1t
Is considered to he not only an Insult
to high official. but as insulting to the
Chinese government itself. Better inform
ed officials. however, realize tho helpless-
ness OF China. and tho madness Of at
tempting to go to war with Russia. Their
counsels have hitherto prevailed, though
there Is much baseless war talk in tho ma
tive press and among the younger Chi
nese officials.

The JOINT OYSTER
COMMITTEE TODAY
Is Thought it Will Recommend
the Breaking OF the
Baylor Survey.

The legislative joint committee, which
has been engaged all summer cruising in
the oyster waters OF the State and In
yestigating the condition of the shell fish
industry, will meet at the Capitol at 10
A. NJ. to-day to formulate their report
and recommendations to be submitted to
the General Assembly when It convenes
noxt Tuesday.
Tho committee consists OF Senators A.
d. Watkins. OF Prince Edward. and Julian
Bryant, of this city; Delegates S, VIII
kins Mathews, of Accomac; e. Clarence
Jordan. Of Frederick. and William D.
Cardwell, OF Hanover. Mr.. John ]. Burke
is clerk to the committee.
The joint committee made two cruises,
one q merely preliminary and cursory
one and the other a prolonged and care
full investigation. The purpose of the
inquiry Is to ascertain whether the oys-
ter industry OF the State is in danger of
depletion and what remedy If any Is
needed to preserve these valuable proper
ties to the State and insure that they
shall pay adequate revenue into the State
treasury, The committee sought infor-
nation from every souce as to the area
OF barren. or depleted oyster rock, the
supply of seed oysters and the methods
OF taking them and the quantity taken.
II it appear that the State can secure
more revenue BY breaking what is known
as the Baylor geodetic survey and leas-
Ing out to planters the depleted or I'M
productive rocks and shoals this will be
recommended. It is contended by Mr..
Jordan and others that the State is not
getting the revenue 1t should derive from
this source. and that the oyster rock is
being depleted and the supply Of seey oys-
ters being destroyed by tongers They
also maintain that the State Is now get
ting nothing from these barren rocks, and
that by leasing them to planters they
will not only derive revenue from the
lease. but will put tho leased area In a
State OF productiveness.
While no authoritative statement OF the
purpose of tho committee is made. it is
generally understood that the report will
recommend the breaking of the Baylor
survey and the leasing OF oyster rock to
the planters. Such proposition will be
bitterly fought by the representatives of
the oyster taking counties who oppose
tho plan unalterably, Indeed. sucl, pro-
longed and stubborn fight would ensue
that It would prolonE the session Of the
present General Assembly far beyond the
time expected. 1t Is doubtful II any other
business could be disposed of, II this
subject Is taken up, For this reason 1t
IL considered probable that the General
Assembly will not act on the report, but
will leave 1t as q legacy to the new AS
.sembly which will convene on the second
Wednesday In January, 1901.
