PREPARING TO GO NORTH.
Fish Commission Yacht Closing Work
at Bryan's Point.

The steam yacht Phlarope, the tender TO
the Bryans Point station of the United
States fish commission service, was In port
for several hours yesterday evening. The
crew of the vessel is making preparations
to leave the Potomac for the north as soon
as the propa eating season at Bryant POINT
is closed which will be about the last week
of this month. 1t Is stated the yacht has
yet to bring up large quantity OF young
shad fry from Bryans Point to this city
for shipment to western points. The young
fish are brought up the river IN big cans.
and the services of several men are kept
constantly at work going from can TO can
areating the water by lifting 1t in big dip
pers and pouring it back into the cans
Within the past week all the larger nSh-
ing shores along the Potomac have cut out
and the owners of the shores have returned
to the city out of pocket as result of the
seasons work. Fairy landing, the big shore
operated by Capt. VIM Neitzey, was the
last to shut down, the final haul having
been made there Saturday last. The Chap
mans Point shore, near Glymont. operated
by Baltimore parties. and Monkeys shore,
near Bryan's Point, operated by Lindsey &
Heron, are now the only big shores in op-
Grafton, and they will, it is stated, cut out
within the next week. There will still be a
number of drift net and trap net fishermen
working in the river, and the shad they
catch will be brought to this market.
The Phflarope came into port this morn
ing from the Bryans Point fish commission
station and landed fifty cans containing
about 2GO00OO shad, on the wharf foot of
Sth street. The fish were hatched out with
their way to the central station of the fish
comm ission service. in this city, to be ship
ped to North Carolina to stock streams in
that state. The young shad were only
about a quarter of an inch long, and looked
as they swan about in the cans more like
an animated hair than fish.

IN ANNA vALENTINA's BEHALF.
Postponement Of Execution Asked by
the italian Ambassador.

Powerful influences are again at work to
save Anna Valentino, the unfortunate Ital-
ian woman who is sentenced to be hanged
In New Jersey for the murder of her hus-
bands paramour. The board of pardons
having refused to mitigate the sentence to
Imprisonment, the Italian ambassador,
Baron Mayor des Planches, who is now
in the south. has teiegraphed to Washing
ton asking that the State Department re-
quest the governor of New Jersey to post
pone the execution of the sentence
AS the ambassador has requested this
action officially and personally. the State
Department was quick to transmit the re-
quest, and 1t Is expected the governor will
surely comply with the request, although
his answer has not yet been received Great
sympathy is felt in official circles here for
the woman because of the peculiar cir
cumstances of her case, and it was gem
orally expected the board of pardons would
mitigate her sentence. In Italy, while the
woman would be punished, the punishment
would be tempered by mercy because of
the great provocation under which the
woman suffered. Baron Mayor has inter-
ested himself in the case and has done all
that he could do for her.

Mr.. Bacon Resumes.


e. p. Bacon of Milwaukee. Wis. continued
his statement of Monday in favor of legis-
lative authority for the interstate commerce
commission to fix rates. He presented
brief from the Southwestern Lumbermens
Association, complaining of unreasonable
and discriminating rates on yellow pine
shipped to Kansas and Oklahoma. Mr. Ba-
con charged the low export rate on wheat
from Missouri river points to the seaboard
was a discrimination against the American
-four manufacturers. Replying to Senator
Dolliver, he urged that the farmers received
the benefit of the low rate, and that the low
rate was due to the competition of the gulf
ports. Very little flour was exported
through the gulf ports he said, because of
weather conditions. He pointed out that
the flour rate was not unreasonably high,
but that the rate on wheat was too low.
Mr.. Bacon advocated the Esch-Townsend
bill
C. d. Cohen of Greensboro N. c., inter-
ested in cotton manufactures In several

so-called industrial movement by sending
delegates to the convention Of the Ameri-
can Labor Union to be held in Chicago
June q.
A manifesto recently promulgated by So
cialist leaders of the American Labor Union
denounces the present system of organiza-
tion among wage earners as futile and inef-
fective. The document was prepared by the
executive board of that organization, but
was kept secret for a number of days,
1t Is said, until the signature and indorse-
ment of Eugene v. Debs was attached. The
| central idea is to unite the workers of the
| country in one organization without regard
| to craft distinctions, and to unite them
politically as well as industrially. The Ma
| tional Civic Federation is severely scored
| for its efforts to harmonize the interests of
employers and employees when the conflict
| between them is declared to be irrepressf-
| Bile.
There is strong plea for class conscious
ness among the workers which 1t Is said
| craft divisions hinder, and fosters the
| idea of harmony of interests between en-
| pIoying exploiter and employed slave. They
| permit the association of misleaders of
| the workers with the capitalists in the Civic
| Federation. where plans are made for the
perpetuation of capitalism and the perma-
| nent enslavement of the workers through
| the wage system"
In this connection the Trades Unionist
says: President Mcdonald of the Ameri-
can Labor Union has rendered his resigna-
| ton because his organization has entered
| into a conspiracy With other people in Chi
| cago to disrupt the American Federation of
Labor. Mr.. Mcdonald refuses to forget
| that the American Federation of Labor
unions responded nobly financially when the
Western Federation of Labor was battling
with the Peabody and Bell anarchists in
Colorado. Mcdonald refuses TO be an in
CRATE, or bite the hand that fed him and
his people during the blood days of indus
trial war in that state. Mcdonald, like
others, has differed from the policy of the
American Federation of Labor. but the diff
ference has been an honest one, and worthy
| of such men as he. His resignation from
his organization for the cause reported Is
typical of men of his character. There

President Samuel Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor has recently been
