Virginia OYSTER Trade.

At the request of Gov. Montague, DIR.
j. w. Bowdoin, chairman OF the State
board of fisheries has made an investiga.
ton of the States oyster beds. This in
vestigation had its inception in letter
to Secretary of State John Hay from
Hon. James Boyle, United States consul
ut Liverpool, who said that the oyster
trade with England is threatened because
of the fear that the oysters shipped from
this country are taken from polluted beds
and therefore likely to transmit disease.
After treating the matter at some length
DIR. Bowdoin says: III am, therefore, of
the opinion that Virginia oysters, care
fully transported, can be eaten with i'm
punity. But | think it would be wise
precauiion if the board of fisheries would
issue certificates to all persons anu firms
thst export for human consumption
oysters taken from beds not liable TO be
polluted by sewage or other Objectionable
filth. And to show our good faith in
this natter am sure the boarl of fish
cries will place at the disposal Of any
accredited representative OF the English
government one of the State steamers
and such persons as may be necessary for
a thorough inspection of the oyster beds

THURSDAY EVENING. JAN. s, 1905

IT WAS stated in yesterdays Gazette
that the statehood bill replaced the pure
food bill in the Senate that day and the
former bill will remain the order OF busi-
n,ss in the wisdom Of the Senate leaders.
1t was opposed for place by the pure
food bill, and the republican opponents
of the latter measure were very glad to
vote to take up the statehood bill, al
though it is claimed that some OF them
are not in favor OF the pending state
hood measure. The democrats who OPP
nosed the statehood bill confidently as
sert that it will not pass the Senate al
this session, and some of them say that
the advocates Of the measure themselves
know that the bill will act principally
as buffer against the pure-food bill and
against other legislation which is not de-
sired by the republicans. 1t has been
known since the reassembling OF Congress
that the pure food bill had no chance
whatever of becoming a law, for the
reason that the adulteraters are rlch and
powerful enough to control legislation
and the only wonder is that anyone
should believe otherwise.

Completely cured of cancer! y Such
is the remarkable statement made by the
Countess of Clancarty, once the famous
Belle Billion, of the music hall stage,
who has just returned to London from
Paris, accompanied by her husband.
Early last year The Countess was over
taken by the most relentless of all NAL

formed, but in vain. Sentence OF death
was pronounced by Sir Arthur Macan,
president Of the Royal College of Physi-
clans, Ireland, and the eminent cancer
specialists who were consulted by the
Earl OF Clancarty concurred in this YER
dict. Two Of the greatest cancer special
lists of the day declared that the Count
ess could not live more than six weeks.
As last resource Lord Clancarty took
his wife to Paris, and placed her under
the treatment of DR.. Doyen, with what
result Lady Clancarty told In her own
words Tuesday. "When l vas placed
under DR.. Doyen's treatment had only
three weeks of life left, she said. The

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way TO cure deafness, and that is by con
st.tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inaamed condition of the nNeous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an iltamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by eatarrh) that con.

SO years old, has been indicted by u
grand jury Of Multnomsh county on
charge of malfeasance in Office The
indictment states that on July IL, 1904,
Judge Williams, while Mayor of Port
land, refused to enforce the statutes re-
gulating gambling. This law. which

lature, gives the Mayor power to close

NAV Mean Peace.

st. Petersburg, Jan 5.-An extraOrdi-
nary council of war will be held at
Tsarkoe-Selc today. 1t is said the Car
will personally preside at the meeting.
The calling OF an extraordinary council
at this time is taken to be strongly indi
catiye of the attitude of the official mind
toward the feeling of unrest prevalent
throughout the country. There has
long been an underlying feeling of ami
mostly to the war in the popular mind,
which, since the announcement OF the
capitulation of Port Arthur frequently
appeared on the surface.
From all over the country reports are
coming in of signs Of impending revolts
against the bureaucratic measures of the
government and in al these reports may
be seen the same aciuating force namely
the opposition to the war which has
proven such costly affair in lives aud
money. Despite official denials that
there is any chance OF peace at present,
or that peace is for moment to be con-
sidered as within the range of POSSIBLE
ity, there is an opinion prevalentin many
quarters that peace must come and that
quickly, so as to give the government a
free hand to deal with the internal dis
quietude.
In diplomatic quarters it is asserted
that while the fall Of Port Arthur would
have no material effect on the ultimate
outcome of the war, yet the effect of the
downfall of the stronghold on the minds
of the people has been such as to bring
out an even stronger cry for cessation
of the struggle.

Surrender of Turkish Garrison.

London, Jan. 5.-News from Constan-
n0ple has it that distinct impression
has been caused in Turkish official circles
by the surrender of the Turkish garrison
at Sanai, the capital of the province of
Yemen, Arabia The Turkish troops
nave been besieged for some days by S0,-
900 Arabs. The Sultan has always been
unwilling to send big army to Arabia,
and even now in the face of Tukish re-
verses, at the hands of the insurgents be
has consented to the sending Ofbut three
battalions. The Minister of War is
most indignant over this lack of sufficient
force to cope with the insurgents, but
Abdul Hamid is obdurate. 1t is said
the Sultan's fears have been aroused by
the memory that the army which
dethroned his uncle, the late Sultan,
came from a victorious expedition in
Arabia, aud he fears history will repeat
itself in this respect. The South
Arabia districts of Nedjd and Kuweitj-
kuweit are also in q disturbed con-
dition. The Sultan, thinking the Of
fcials there are to blame for the disordered
conditions, has degraded the Governor
of Nedjd and has appointed NGi Bey, an
Albanian, to succeed him.
