The Oyster Mystery so,v.s

capt. ii. Christoffer. who is represent. In gthe Independent oyster men befora the Legislature. said to an Advertiser man yesterday.
 AS We have learned here around the Cap1tol that this new monopoly lays clalm to being new sect of Gods peo- ple' and therefore lay claim to the ovs- ters that God created in and around Mobile Bay. or in the Alabama waters and, therefore, have secured some of the latest kinds of talking machines that have cost this monopoly much money to proclaim that Gods people must have control of Gods oysters whether their fellow citizens starve to death or not
 But when this monopoly's guardians came in contact with the conditions and laws of the State of Alabama, they found them so well fortified for the protection Of its citizens that they could not cross their boundaries; so they intend to compromise with the State and be satisfied if the law mak- CTS will make this kind of law, that If their machinery Is out of order and they do not want the oysters they will allow the oystermen to work for them selves. But if their machinery is in running order the citizens of the State must be compelled by law to work for them, whether they like their God or not. I believe that the name of their God is gold. Tn the name os our God there is liberty.'

KOREA WILL BE GAMER.
Diplomats Say Japanese Control Will
 Be Greatly Beneficial.

Diplomats Say Japanese Control Will
 Be Greatly Beneficial.
 Chicago, July 22.--A dispatch to The Tribune from Washington. D. C.. says
 It is the opinion of the diplomats here that after the first natural dis turbances are quelled. Korea will be much the gainer for the actual trans fer of it's control to the Japanese.
 For a gneration the hermit king dom has been disturbed with all sorts of frauds. The Emperor who has Just been deposed, and his two sons. have manifested a complete incapacity for the science of government.
 Long before the war between Japan and Russia it was evident to every student of Oriental affairs that Korea was destined to be wiped off the map, and that too. at no distant period. Oriental students say it was much better for Korea that the change of sovereignty should be to the Japanese and not some European nation. The Japanese are affiliated with Koreans in a thousand different ways and the two nations amalgamate great ieal more certainly than If the Emperor of Korea had been forced to abdicate in favor of a Caucasian government,
 All reports indicate that the Japan csc acted with great moderation. They planned to take over Korea at the outset of the war with Russia. The forced abdication of the Emperor was discussed a long while ago. There-has been practical understanding for nearly a year between all the great powers that the Japanese were enti- tied to the fruits of victory in Korea; as 1t was evident that the antiquated empire could not possibly maintain It. self

ELEPHANT ENDS BRIDAL TRIP.
Grabs Roll of Money From Bridegroom,
 And Eats 1t.


 New York. July 22.-Gunda, an ele- phant at the Bronx Geological Park. abruptly ended a country couples honeymoon. by chewing all their req dy cash. The big animal collects cents daily from spectators and hoards them in a bank up above his head.
 James Henchcliffe and his bride who were just married at Pawling. N. Y.. were standing before Gundas cage watching him collect pennies from the crowd when it suddenly occurred to the bridegroom to see if pickpockets had tried to get his roll of bills This roll was especial for the bridal trip and amounted to about $250. He pulled the roll out of his pocket, upon which Gunda deftiy grabebed the greenbasks with his trunk and stuck them in his mouth
 The bride screamed and the bride groom shouted at seeing the pachyderm complacently munching the money. Two keepers rushed up and prodded the beast until he yielded the cash. The money looked as if 1t had been through a corn shelkr. Only single dollar bill was passable. The bride wept bitterly but the bridegroom cheered her with the observation that the elephant had left them enough with which to return the PaWling. But before that he will try to get the sub treasury to redeem some of the 2ulpy tens and twenties.
