the toast "What are we here for?
Mr.. Thuresson was there to poke

Easy Capture of Fish.

The crew of the tug William II. Yerkes of
this city had an unusual, though not I'M
heard of. experience while coming up the
river a day or two ago. The tug had left
the Wicomico river. and off Cove Point she
ran into large school of white perch
floating a few inches below the surface of
the water. and making no effort to get out
of the way of the tug. At first 1t was not
known what was the trouble with the fish,
and a number of them were. taken up in a
dip net. and it was found that the fish were
alive, but had evidently been frozen in ice,
and were SO benumbed that they could not
move. Put in a pan of cool water they
quickly became lively. Tire men on the tug
state that they caught large bucketful OF
the fish with the dip net. and had several
very satisfactory meals off them. The fish,
1t is stated. were of all sizes. and many
hundred could have cen dipped up with the
net had the men wished to take them. This
is the first time that a large school of be-
numbed fish have been seen in The folom &c
In a number OF years.

PLAN NATIONAL PARTY
WOMAN sUFFRAGIsTS NAYSTART
BIG MOVEMENT.

CHICAGO, February 10. - A national

county committees in every state and coun-
ty and ward. and precinct captains in
every city-with all the paraphernalia of
the politicians. except the right to vote
may be the outcome Of the National Wom-
ans Suffrage convention, which will close
here today
The plan, which involves a reorganization
of the National American Woman Suffrage
Association along lines which, even to the
reformers, seemed radical, was preached
at the convention yesterday In the report
of the national membership committee
given by Miss Laura Clay of Lexington,
Ky.
overgrown Club Idea.
1--WE have been an overgrown woman's
club long enough" said Miss Clay in her
report This system of gauging a per-
sons devotion to the cause of man suffrage
by his her attendance at meetings and
pink teas and things, isn't going to advance
our cause much farther.
There Is vast public sentiment just
now in favor of our movement which we
are not reaching. 1t is time we did some
thing.
1.-The membership committee believes that
this association should organize on the plan
of the great political parties, dividing the
workers according to counties, wards and
precincts.
"Then, whenever you find any one de-
sirOus to work, send her out to canvass.
Let her carry cards to be signed. which
shall indicate not the signer's ability or
willingness at attending meetings. but his
or her belief on women suffrage"
The report was applauded vigorously.
Many Of the delegates hope that the sug-
gestion of the committee viii be adopted.

BIG TIDEWATER ISSUE.
$4,000 in Notes Endorsed and Put
Out by n. n. Rogers.

NEW YORK, February 19.-It became
known yesterday in banking circles that a
note issue for 100000. running two
years, had been arranged Friday of last
week by H. H. Rogers on behalf Of the
Tidewater railway. soft coal road tapping
the bituminous fields of West Virginia, and
now being rapidly pushed to completion.
The notes were taken by the Central Trust
Company and were Immediately sold to
bankers in this city and London. They
bear interest at the rate Of 6 per cent and
were offered, 1t is understood, at price to
net the buyer 61z per cent.
Great interest was attached to the note
issue, inasmuch as it was thought that the
sale of notes marked the first formal
financing of the new soft coal railroad in
which the bankers and the public partici-
pa ted. 1t was learned afterward. however.
that the railroad corporation did not make
the loan through the Central Trust Com
pany, but that the transaction was per-
sonal one of Mr.. Rogers. His Endorsement
appears on the notes. They were issued in
comparatively large sums, such as have
now become common in recent note issues.
Many millions of dollars have been spent
in constructing the Tidewater railway.
line from the great soft coal deposits OF
West Virginia to tidewater at Sewell's
Point, near Fort Monroe, Va. Mr.. Rogers
has supplied the funds and the new rail-
his own.
Wall street obtained its first news of the
transaction by way of London. Cables
from that city brought word of STANDARD
Oil borrowing" and many inquiries were
at once made in banking circles. Inquiry
elected the facts that the railway, through
Mr.. Rogers. was the real borrower.
1t is expected that the entire line from
Deepwater to Norfolk viii. cost about so,
OOO 600, or about $50, 900 mile.
Financiers who are identified with the
coal roads in West Virginia, Virginia and
eastern Kentucky are watching its compile
ton with feelings akin to anxiety. The
road is being constructed according to the
most up-to-date methods and Is spoken Of
as one Of the best ballasted and graded
coal railways in the country.
Owing to the fact that the work is being
carried on without the issue or sale Of a
dollar in bonds or stock, the enterprise on
it's completion embraces q wealth of I'M
known possibilities in the nature OF
economies in operation and reduced trans
portation charges.

REYBURN OR POTTERY
PHILADELPHIA WILL ELECT CITY
OFFICIALS TODAY.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, February 10.-The
electors Of Philadelp hia, AZ well a. those
throughout the state, are today choosing
municipal officers. In this city a mayor. q
receiver of taxes. four magistrates and
councilmen are to be elected. The main
fight is for mayor, the principal candidates
for that office being Representative John e.
Reyburn, republican, and William Potter,
former minister to Italy under President
Harrison. who Is the fusion candidate Of
the democrats and the city party the latter
reform organization. Despite the fact
that plans for the present mayoralty cleo
ton had been in a measure mapped out
two years ago. the present campaign has
been listless.
Much depends upon the outcome of to-
days contest as to the future of the city
party: This organization was created by
the committee of seventy" early in 1905,
with the object of winning councilmanic
seats and electing a mayor this year in OPP
position to the regular republican candidate.
The Gas Lease Fight.
A few months after the organization Of
the city party came the great gas lease
fight. which resulted in the defeat Of the
republican organization in November, 1905,
by the fusion forces.
The reform element and the democrats
then carried the fight up to last November
for governor and other state officers, and
were defeated.
After the November election the republic
can organization leaders predicted that the
end of the city party had come, but that
organization carried out its purpose. and
placed a full ticket in the field for today s
election Both sides express themselves
as sure Of victory, but the republicans are
the more confident.
They predict plurality Of $4,000 for Rep
resentative Reyburn for mayor, and the
same for Hugh Black for tax receiver. The
estimate of the reform leaders varies from
10000 to 10000 plurality. While the city
party may lose the contest for mayor and
receiver of taxes, 1t is almost certain to In
crease it's representation in city councils
and in the boards of school directors.
Mayor Weaver's term expires in April
and under the city charter he cannot sue
