A State House Curiosity.

AS if it were a mute pleader in
favor of the prolific oyster, there
rests in the House Of Delegates at
the State House on the Speaker S
desk a small cannon stove which is
so covered with small oysters and
mussels that,not particle of the little
stove can be seen, both inside and out
side being covered. Attached to the
stove is a portion Of an old fish net,
the meshes Of which are also hanging
with small oysters and mussels. Also
a rock covered with good sized oysters,
containing about twenty good sized
oysters. The stove and seine covered
with oysters are curiosities. and show
conclusiyely that the oyster is so pro-
life it will grow on any old thing.

bRYAN'S IDEA
Is That Roosevelt Should Step
Down and Refuse Third
Term.
Associated Press to The Evening Time.

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Sept. 1.-While here to-
day on his way from Bridgeport west
Bryan was asked what he thought
about the argument of certain repub-
licans that President Roosevelt will
be the next logical republican can
didate for president Bryan said that
If it were true, as many republicans
had declared, that he had completely
destroyed the democratic party, there
ought to be dozens of able republicans
who would be available as candidates.
as it would appear that almost any
republican could win with the demo-
cratic party wiped out.
There would then be no necessity
of giving President Roosevelt what
would be regarded by many as prac-
tically third term. With such an easy
victory for the republicans ahead,
why" he asked, should not some
body else be given a chance
When asked what he thought of the
criticism by democrats of his idea OF
the federal ownership of railroads,
Bryan said that he had never advo-
Gated anything that was not opposed
in some quarters.
He was told that some of the south
ern democrats seemed alarmed lest
Jim Crow cars should be eliminated
by the adoption of his ideas of federal
ownership. Bryan in reply to this,
said that If various states owned lines
within their borders the local laws
would continue to be enforced.

Havana, Sept. lit became known
today that the insurrection has spread
to the province of Puerto Principe.
Seventy men have taken up arms at
Moron, IN that province, led by Garcia
Ganizares, speaker of the house of
representatives during the liberal
ascendancy in that body. The men,
bers of the band openly equipped them
selves and left town in an orderly
manner. The mayor of Moron soon
summoned rural guards in the vicinity
and followed the insurgents with the
purpose of engaging them.
Dispatches from Santiago de Cuba
announce that rural guards have sur
rounded the town OF Songo and have
captured Urbano Sanchez, the insur-
gent leader there.
The recruiting Of insurgents in San
tiago, the governor of that province
asserts, has proved unsuccessful, and
he adds that he has a military force
at his disposal with which he can
quickly crush any uprising in any part
of the province. He is holding spec
ial troop train, fully equipped, con-
stantly in waiting at the railroad sta
ton ready to be dispatched to the scene
of any uprising.

having disappeared General Rodri-

Cuba. He says that the troops were
simply as precautionary measure.
All members of the Cuban national
assembly who are in the city will hold
meeting tomorrow which will be the
first meeting since the adjournment
of June 30.
The Associated Press was informed
by two eye witnesses that Cardenas,
which hitherto has been considered
a peaceful city, was the scene yester-
day of desultory fighting between the
police and rural guards on one side
and rowing insurgents on the other.
The only province remaining perfectly
peaceful is Puerto province. Ameri-
cans having cattle interests there are
apprehensive lest it, too, becomes the
field of insurrectionary operations.

Honolulu, Sept. 1.-The sheridan's
main steam pipe is broken and the
vessel Is helpless so far as her own
power is concerned. 1t is reported
that the breaking of the pipe occurred
just before the steamer grounded and
that the crippled condition of her
engines was the cause of the accident.
The pipe broke at 1888 O'Clock yes
terday morning. Immediately after
the vessel struck the reef the life
boats were lowered and efforts made
to reach the shore. The position of
the steamer apparently is alarming,
but her bows have not yet been able
TO find place where they can land.
The natives are getting to the vessel
through the surf in canoes. Captain
Peabody says that if power is applied
quickly he believes the Sheridan can
be saved, but otherwise there is little
hope for the transport. The swell is
very heavy and the coral rocks are
very sharp. Good order is maintained
on board the vessel. The transfer of
passengers either to the shore or to
other crafts so they can be brought to
this city is a serious problem.

Mont, and parallels that road and the
Yellowstone river to Miles City and
Forsyth. Then it strikes off in a
northwesterly direction to Mussell
Shell river, Yellowstone county, fol-
lowing the river to Harlowtown and

located
