The Oyster Industry.

The question of protecting the oys-
ter beds In the Gulf, sounds, bays and
inlets of the State of louisiana, is
one of the most important questions
before the present Legislature. The
oyster beds of Louisiana far surpass
anything along the Atlantic board
or in northern waters, as the oysters
multiply more rapidly and grow to
a much larger size than In more nOrth-
ern latitudes. 1t is raid that by cul-
tivation and care the present field
can be increased from ten to twenty
times its present area, and the reve-
nue. to the State increased according
ly. The proposition before the legis-
lature is that the revenues to be de-
rived from this source shall be divided
between the public schools and the
construction of public roads. There
are scarcely any other two objects
worthy of more meritOriOus cOnsid-
Grafton at the hands Of our legisla-
tors, and we hope to see them adopt
safe and satisfactory laws for the
protection and propagation OF the
toothsome oyster, and beneficial
and welcome increase In the finances
necessary to encourage these two
most worthy and important objects.

WASHINGTON, Feb. H.-The Panama
canal question will continue to hold eXclu-
sive attention of the Senate until next
Tuesday. when voting on the treaty will
begin. 1t is probable that the doors OF the
Senate chamber will be closed the greater
part of the time the treaty is under consid-
Grafton on Monday and Tuesday. Senator
Morgan has prepared a number OF amend
ments, and if offered they will be presented
in executive session. Mr.. Morgan probably
will speak to some of his amendments, but
the prospect is that very few other sem
ators will desire further to discuss the
treaty or any amendments to it. All amend
ments will be voted down. There will be
only sixteen or seventeen votes or pairs
against the ratification of the convention.
Senator Hoar probably will make another
speech before the vote is taken.
With the Panama question disposed OF
the Senate will take up appropriation blllS,
There are features in this measure when
will arouse opposition, and it is expected
that it will be debated a. some length. BY
the time the agricultural bill shall be passed

REBELS FIRED ON Il
CLYDE LINE VESSEL

SANTO DOMINGO, Thursday, Feb. IL
The Clyde line steamer New York arrived
here this morning conveyed by the United
States cruiser Newark and Minister Powell
instructed the captain of the vessel to dis
charge his cargo at the wharf. An agree
ment had been made by Minister Powell
and Commander Miller with the insurgents
and the government that neither party
should fire while the New York was at the
wharf discharging The government kept
this agreement, but the insurgents fired on
the steamer and on a launch from the
cruiser Columbia, which was entering the
river. Eight rife shots damaged the New
York's woodwork, endangering the lives
of passengers and crew.
The commander of the United States war
ships then decided TO shell Pajarito. near
this city, the place occupied by the in
surgents, and to land 300 marines, with
the object of furnishing the insurgents for
insulting the United States and damaging
an American steamer.
At 2:30 D. m. the Newark approached and
opened fire, discharging ten shells The in
surgents fired the marines while they
were landing, wounding some of them. The
marines returned the fire and the insur-
gents ran away.
The marines landed were divided into two
columns and searched the houses, woods
and bushes. They then followed the in
surgents, who fired while the marines were
reloading. The result of the bombardment
is not known. The New York left here at
3 =. m. for the roadstead after landing her
cargo.
