Says Election Of Speaker Is
Some Distance Ahead.
No Mistake Made by Passage Of

linois late today for the approaching
special session of Congress. He added
to the newspaper men who greeted him
that he believed that the people would
get the sort of tariff revision that they
voted for Later he issued a statement,
which follows:
1.-The selection of Speaker for the 6lst
Congress is vet a considerable distance
in the future. When that Congress Is
about to assemble, which l presume
will be some time in March, the Re-
publican members of the House of Rep

been the custom from the foundation
of the party and select a candidate for
Speaker, to be supported by the party
at the organization of the House. l
presume that the representatives Will
be Perfectly competent to select their
Speaker and do not see any present
need of frctting about the matter.
"Of course there will be an honest
revision of the tariff. We made the
camraign on that issue and every Re
publican member was elected with
that in view. Every one of these Re
pubicans. without an exception. VIII, L

of which will come the result which, on

to civilized and enlightened govern

Twill Be on Rack Several Days.

New York, Nov. 24.-During the tes-
tiinony in the federal suit to dissolve
the Standard Oil Co, John d. Rock
efeller threw some unexpected light on
the long popular question as to what
channels Of investment he turns his
tremendous earnings from oil. The an
swer was railroads" Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter was 10th to state the names of the
railroads in which his investments
were made, but did so after entering
his objection. He declared that his
holdings in railroads consisted chiefly
in bonds and that with the exception
OF few roads in which he held only
small amounts of stock, he preferred
the bonds as a form of investment. Mr..
Rockefeller's appearance today VIII
likely be his last in the proceedings.
He appeared greatly delighted that his
long ordeal was over and hurriedly left
the room when counsel excused him.
Mr.. Rockefeller said that he did not
think that he should be made to tell
the form of his investments, declaring
that the gentlemen over there In the
Stock Exchange might not think it
very wise
After some legal contention by coun-
Sell Mr.. Rockefeller said he held stock
in the Delaware, LackaWanna g. West

syivania, the Western Maryland, the
Missouri Pacific, the Texas Pacific and
Tic Colorado Southern. He said he

ticut. DR.. Field spoke in part as fol-
lows:
The Shell Fisheries.
Today in Massachusetts, alone of up
wards of 5000 acres of shell fish
ground below high water mark only
about 1852 acres are even approximate
ing the normal yield, ie, from 5000 to
$500 per acre per annum. while up
wards of 10000 acres are producing less
than 10 per cent. of the normal proluc-
ton and about $1,000 acres at present
unsuitable could at an expense of $50
to 5000 per acre be made to yield from
$40 and $500 profit annually. Under
such development and utilization en-
ployment would be furnished TO at
least 10000 skilled and unsliilled la
bnrers as compared with 1906 in 1907
and a total production valued III the
hands OF the producers at not less than
$c,00000o annually instead of 1851, 900 as
in 1907.
The Legislature should by appropri-
ate laws make possible extensive cul-
tivation OF shell fish, such as clans,
Quahauss, scallop. mussel and Holsters
IL addition to the oyster in the area
below high water mark, under proper
safeguards devised to secure public
and private rights
1t must be borne constantly in mind
that these useful molluseS are found
at the mouths of rivers. because they
there end as their food in the brackish
water the microscopic plants which in
turn are nourished by the soluble
nitrates washed from the soil of the
uplands. Unfortunately. with incraas-
ing population of the land organic de-
briS may enter the water in excessive
quantities and reach the moluses too
directly and without the preparation
required under natural conditions.
Some typhoid epidemics in this coun-
try and abroad have apparently been
found to be directly referable to shell
fish from sewerage polluted waters.
For these reasons approximately 1900
acres in Boston harbor. 700 acres in
New Bedford harbor and AGO acres in
Lynn harbor have become unsuitable
for the growth of shell fish, and the

the four steamers that have arrived in

The animals aboard these vessels We're

Agriculture Harrington acknowledged
the zeal with which the American au-
thorities are coping with the disease.
Concerning the probability of meat
shortage he said that the imports
from America constituted less than five
per cent. of the total meat supply of
this country. The prohibition would
entail serious stoppage of employ
ment at the ports of entry. but the
price on meat should not be seriously
affected.

riculture spent almost the entire day at
