OYSTERS SCARCE.
Reports From Potomac Beds Not En-
Couraging.

Reports coming from the lower Potomac
regarding the condition of the oyster
beds are not at all encouraging, and ii
may be that the oyster season now open
ing will be poor one. Capt. Joseph
Chivell returned this week from a trip OF
several days to the lower river and he
says the beds in the vicinity of Blacki-
stones Island are not yielding anything
like what they should, and the same
state of affairs prevails at other points
on the river.
Oystermen are not able to tong more
than three or four bushels of good oys-
tiers in a day, instead of twice that
amount, as has been done in previous
years, and no growths of young oys-
tiers have been located this year
The bivalves that are being caught are
small in size. but are fat and in good
order. One vessel, the schooner Avalon
with less than a hundred bushels of oys-
tiers aboard, arrived at the oyster wharf
from the Potomac beds yesterday.
Oysters were selling at the wharf this
morning at prices ranging from 55c to Coo
per bushel

CARNEGIE BEWILDERED.
He Has Much Trouble in Finding Sec.
retary Roots Home.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Although
he figured out successfully years ago
all the intricate highways and by
ways of the road to wealth, Andrew
Carnegie last night became somewhat
confused by the wealth of streets
which come together like the spokes
of an immense wheel at Scott Circle,
this city. On this circle stands the
home of Secretary Root. which Mr..
Carnegie was seeking.
In true Democratic style Mr.. Carr
negie used a trolley car instead of an
automobile in going from his hotel to
Mr.. Roots home. This necessitated
his walking several blocks after
alighting from the street car, but the
Laird of Skibo did not seem to min d
it in spite of his hard day as a wit
ness at the tariff hearing.
The streets crossing each other near
Scott Circle at a variety of angles
caused Mr. Carnegie some confusion.
He paused several times as he ap-
preached Mr.. Roots house to make
sure that he was going in the right
direction. Going by the stables back
of the secretary's house, he finally
came up to the, front door from the
rear, much to the relief or the retired
the neighborhood is all the more sur
prising in view of the fact that only
about a block away the new adminis-
tration building of the Carnegie in
stitution of Washington to which Mr..
Carnegie has. given about IL million
dollars is now nearing completion.
The philanthropist's call on Mr.
Root last evening was purely of a
social nature

Better Understanding in Sight.
Washington. Dec. PA common i'm
preston in Washington is that events
in Venezuela are tending towards
better understanding between that
country and the United States. Whether
this will be reached with the reformed
government headed by Vice President
Gomez in the cabinet of which the
Castro element has been eliminated, or
with an entirely new administration it
is impossible to say.
Vice President Gomez's views that
the foreign policy of the Castro admin
istration regarding the United States
and Holland was illadvised. form an i'm
portant element in the situation.
1t would take the battleship Maine
week to reach Venezuela. 1t is still i'm
possible to obtain any official statement
as to her destination. Similar reticence
pertains to the movements of the gun
boat Dolphin and the cruiser DeS
MoineS which have been in Haytien wa
ters but which a dispatch from Port
au Prince says are going to Curacao.
With these vessels at or near the Vene-
zuelan coast the United States would
be ready for eventualities. Such infor-
nation as may be in possession of the
government regarding the situation in
Venezuela has been withheld, its pro-
mitigation been deemed incompatible
with public interests.
