ON THE RIVER FRONT
BOYS AT THE wHARvEs EN-
GAGGED IN sNAGGING HERRING.
Overhauling River Towboats at Alex.
andria-Fishing Shores Cut Out
Personal and General.

Boys are having great sport just now
snagging herring and some good catches
are being made. The fish are very plenti-
full in the river about this city, and from
the seawan about the Potomac Park and
from the rocks above Georgetown the young
fishermen are casting their lines. The meth
cd of working the lines is much more ex-
citing than ordinary fishing. On long
Irvine line, weighted lightly at one end,
are attached three OF more hooks. swinging
loose at the end of short lines. The line
is thrown at full length upon the water and
is allowed to partially sink. Then 1t is
drawn rapidly through the water and the
fish are hooked as they try to avoid the
line. Some are caught through the back
and some by the tail. In fact, in almost
every conceivable way they are hooked and
brought to the surface. 1t is by no means
uncommon to catch as many herring as the
fisherman has hooks on his line.
The sudden drop in the temperature had
a Frightening effect on the wholesale fish
market on the 18th street wharf this MORN
ing and there was fairly good demand for
all varieties of fresh fish. Trout, croaker,
white perch, rock and catfish constituted
the bulk Of the bunch fish on sale Her

The tugs Minerva and Camilla were haul
ed out at the same time on the big marine

INVOLVES PERSONS WHOSE.
NAMES HAVE NOT YET
BEEN MENTIONED.
REACTION is SETTING IN
PEOPLE RELUCTANT TO CON-
TRIBUTE TO THE PRosEcu-
TING FUND.

New Ulm, MIMI, Nov. 24.-Remarks
dropped by detectives at work on the
Gebhardt murder case leads to the be-
lief that at last motive for the crime
has been found, and that it involves
persons whose names have not been
mentioned in relation to the various
theories that have developed from the
evidence. That the greatest sensation
since the murder soon is to be sprung
seems certain.
There is reason to believe that the
delay in the arrest Of DR.. G. r. Koch
as the principal and of Asa P. Brooks
as accessory after the fact is because
no new evidence has been secured i'm
plicating DR.. Koch. In fact it is &C
copied here as certain that nothing ex-
lists in the shape of proof against Dr.
Koch, except the handkerchief that
bears his initials. He is not In the
least worried over the status of the
case and has resumed his work in his
dental ONCE.
Reaction Setting In.
A reaction seems to be setting in
against the committee which was ap-
pointed to prosecute the search for
the murderer. and it is evident from
the reluctance of the people to add to
the amount subscribed at the mass
meeting that they have little sympa-
thy with the movement. Not more
than 5000 has been added to the fund.
which leaves it still under $500, and
it is given out that Attorney Popham
said that a. fund Of $4,000 would be
little enough with which to attempt to
carry on the work. The county at
torney is secure in his position, and is
confident that time will enable him to
show the people that the county is do
ing all that is possible for man to do
in ferreting out the murderer.
Mr.. Popham has prepared = digest
Of the evidence in hand. and left yes

lists TO EXPLAIN THEIR
VIEWS.
THE UNEXPECTED NAY HAPPEN
TREMENDOUS SENSATION IS
CAUSED IN ST. PETERSBURG
az NEWS.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 27.-The unex-
pected may happen after all. The
meeting of the zemstvoists, FIRST
Russian congress-" as it is now called,
may indeed work the Inauguration Of
a new era for Russia. Emperor
Nicholas, the initiator of the plan for
universal disarmament, may turn back
upon the reactionaries and crown his
reign by granting to his subjects the
constitution which his grandfather
had already prepared when he fell by
the hand Of an assassin.
The bags Of such possibility is the
significant fact that late yesterday af-
ternOon the emperor received in the
palace at Tsarskoe-Selo, M. Shipoff of
Moscow, M. Petrunkeivitch of Tever,
M. Rodzianko of Ekaterinoslav, and
Count Heiden, four prominent men,
bers of the zemstvo congress, and
Listened at Length
to their views. It develops that when
Minister Of the Interior Sviatopolk-
Mirsky presented the zemstvo memoir
ial and resolutions on Nov. "a the en-
peror was SO deeply impressed as well
by the contents of the documents as
by the character Of the siEners that
he Immediately expresse1 the desire
to personally receive deputation of
four.
The zemstvoists therefore went to
Tsarskoe-Selo by, imperial command.
At their audience. it is understood,
they explained fully their position and
reiterated the Views expressed by the
memorial that the salvation of the
empire from ruin by revolution lay in
the adoption of the general ideas ex-
pressed in the memorial. The en-
peror
Was Greatly Impressed
by what he heard and asked many
questions. While it is understood that
he gave no indication of his purposes
except the sympathy he displayed,
the deputation, when they returned to
st. Petersburg, were in high spirits.
Naturally they declined to say any
thing for publication regarding the
visit.
The news that the delegation had
been given an audience by the en-
peror spread like wildfre through the
city last night, and created tremen-
dous sensation, rejoicing among Lib
erals and amazement among the un-
compromising supporters of the old
regime.
