Policy Doubtful.
The question Of issuing the bonds was
not submitted TO you or TO me. The
policy OF selling the bonds was a doubt
ful one, and should not have been adopt
ed until after a conference with higher
authority. In view Of this, I instructed
the president of the railroad to repur-
chase the bonds. The bonds were bought
back at I05, and accrued interest TO
date of repurchase from the LIST of Oc-
tober. To make the repurchase It was
at first thought necessary to borrow

REFERRING TO the passage of the new oyster
law that bears his name and that was passed
by the Legislature on the last day of the session,
Mr. B. Howard Hannah said: "Great results
must not be expected soon. The law is a very
mild one the areas to be cultivated are small
the oystermen and the local people will have
the first chance, as they ought to have. The
citizens of the State may, however rest assured
that there is potentiality of direct revenue to
arise from this leasing system, which, ifthe laws
are properly developed and properly admins
tered, will meet the expectations of its friends
and confound the pessimistic prophecies of its
opponents. In ten years there should be
clear annual revenue of at least $500, 900, and
in years to come, with proper administration,
it should yield much greater sums to the treas
ury of the State" Commenting editorially
on the passage of this bill the Baltimore San
said: "Mr. Hannah should receive the con-
CALCULATIONS of his innumerable friends upon
the successful passage of the bill after weather.
ing many storms in pact years. A man with
less tenacity of purpose might have faltered.
Mr.. Haman had the courage of his convictions
from the very moment he entered into the
contest. He has labored manfully, fearlessly
and persistently for the success of cause
which is the cause of progress and the saliva
ton of the oyster industry of Maryland. A
man less firm of temper and with less stability
and public spirit would have failed where Mr..
Raman has held fast and finally seen the
triumph of great cause"

A GOOD deal of surprise was expressed few
days ago when the well known Baltimore
house of j. w. Puts Company, Lexington
street and Park avenue, made an assignment
for the benefit of creditors. Inability to make
collections is assigned as the cause. The firm
lost $4,000 by the great fire and paid 100000
for the property where it is now located. The
business will continue. Mr.. Puts, head of the
concern, commenced his business career as an
errand boy.

The Speaker ofthe British House of Commons
receives a salary of $4,000 year, with a COM

his official service is usually rewarded by a
peerage and receives pension of $4,000. If
