Wednesday in April. The mai,

on the Wednesday in April. The main
business to come before the body will be its
organization for the approaching fall cam
paign. A chairman will be elected and
secretary chosen to succeed the late John
C. Simering. It Is understood that Chair
man John B. Hanna is willing to continue
in his position. He has discharged his du-
ties satisfactorily, and because of his popu-
larity with all elements of the party it is
believed that he will again be chosen. AS
the meeting Of the committee will take
place on the day following the mayoralty
primaries the opportunity will be seized to
bring into harmony the elements in the
city now struggling for the nominations.
The state leaders. who will attend the
meeting will insist that the winners and
losers shall bury the Ratchet; that the
losers line up behind the successful candi-
dates, and that everything shall be done to
bring about harmony and permit the party
to present solid front In the November
election, when a governorship, legislature
and two United States senatorships will be
at stake. j. NJ. u.

Supply of Shad Received Here.

Several thousand shad. larger supply
than has been received at any time hereto
fore this season, were received by the deal
ers at the wharf yesterday. Prices were
lower than for several days past, roe shad
selling for 80 to 40 cents each and bucks
about 20 cents each. While the bulk of the
supply came from the nets in the lower part
of Chesapeake bay, there were quite num-
Der of Potomac shad on sale. The supply
of herring was fair. but it is said the de-
mand was light.
The fishing season on the river will, it is
thought, be in full swing by the middle or
latter part of this week, and the nets in
the river below this city will all be in opera
ton Several power boats and sailing ves-
sells are making daily trips from the nets
to this city, bringing fish that have been
caught less than twelve hours before. In
the feet are the power schooners Emma of
Baltimore and Seabird Of this city, the
Edna and Nellie, Ada Ballenger and others.

Fireflghter Starts for Baltimore.

The District of Columbia's marine fire
engine, the Firefghter, departed yesterday
afternoon for Baltimore. where she will be
given an overhauling. On the trip down the
Potomac and up the bay the vessel will be
under the command of Capts. Rawley and
Kullman, the pilots but Capt. Brown of the
firefghting force will again take charge
of the vessel as soon as she ties up at Bal
timore. The plates on the sides of the
Firefghter were evidently not intended for
running in ice. for they have been badly
bent in by the comparatively light ice in
which she worked for several days during
the winter. Standing on the pier and look
ing down along her sides the outline of the
ribs Of the boat could be plainly made out.
and the sheathng ran in waves between
each rib. Heavier metal will have to be
used on the bow and sides of the fireboat
to fit her for work in as heavy ice as that
which covered the Potomac the winters of
1903 1904 and 1905.

Elastic Currency.

The advocates of an elastic currency
must have scratched their heads when
they read Che following dispatch from
London in the New York papers:
S II is hard to say which has been the
more criticised during recent weeks
the inelasticity of your currency, Of
the extreme elasticity Of Germany's. In
one case there has been a howl of pro.
test against the barbaric nature of a
currency system which could collapse
as suddenly as yours did in time of
stress: vet, on the other hard, the very.
great facility of the note issue power
in Germany has been criticised with al
most equal severity, because it is held
to have led to such initiation of German
trade as would have been absolutely
lmnossiEle Without it,
s The truth is that theory of elastic
currency violates one ofsthe established
laws OF political economy, and it will
always, when put INTO effect produce
exactly the same etfect.it did in Ger.
many. Any increase In the. volume Of
money will have tendency to raise
prices and promote speculation. 3s:s

Modern Miracles.

Modern miracles are much more Wol,
/ derful than those of the ancients. 1t is
recorded that Christ walked on the
water, but men in these times have
{; lived for days under the water and
have sailed hundreds of miles through
the air and no one doubts the record,
8of such events. It's said that metal
foated on the water uplifted by some
invisible power Now, one can stand
and look at the cranes in the great steel
yards and see hundreds of tons ofmetal
lifted by some invisible power and car.

" hat that invisible power is any more
than he knows what the power whichsis
re corded in u 1 Kings, where it is said:
he iron did swim. 2
1t is recorded that men communicate
ed with each other alta distance. Now
men talk with each other half way
+ ound the world every day and hear
9 very tore of their voices as perfectly
as il they stood face to face, and in
some instances that has been done
without any material means of COM
muication except the air that surrounds
us all. Such talking lis being done all
the time between the American ships
that are on a voyage around the Horn
to the Pacific coast and no one refuses
to believe the story when it is told
There are other modern miracles that
exceed in their wonder anything re-.
corded in the scriptures. They have
been made pessible by understanding
more and more Of the laws of the uni.
verse. it.cannot be doubted that there
i are other laws to be discovered. Were
the things that Christ accomplished
made possible by his understanding of
some law Of which the rest of mankind
were Ignorant and applying it as occa-

We expect to ship two cars month

"The property is opened by 500

face. 1t is now down ~ feet on a
6O-foot contract. We have a fine
showing of quartz and chalcopyrite
