HARD CRABS PLENTIFUL.
Soft Shells and Any Kind of FISH
Scarce in. Markets.

Hard crabs are more plentiful i'm the
Potomac this season than they have been
for the past year or two. Steamers ar
irving here from the mouth of the river
are bringing up crustaceans in large
quantities consigned to dealers here. They
sell at from $1.25 to 81 per barrel.
Soft-shell crabs are scarce. Few, if
any. are being brought from the lower
Potomac. The supply from Chesapeake
bay Is light.
This morning they were selling at from
30 cents to 80 cents per dozen. The de-
mand was excellent at those prices.
Fresh fish are also scarce. Gray trout
are received in fairly good quantities from
the Jersey coast. There would be- other
wise. practically a fish famine in this
city.
For some unknown reason the catch
OF fish this summer has fallen off to al
most nothing I'm the otomac. At the
big fisheries in the lower parts of Chesa-
peake bay. and on the coast in the vi
cinity of Norfolk the catch is light. The
dealers are daily expecting return OF
better conditions in nearby waters

Just before leaving Washington fol
his summer vacation at Oyster Bay
President Roosevelt was quoted as say
ing to friend who suggested that he
had earned vacation: "Do not waste

thanks are due to the American people,

rest Of the family, the president re-
turned to his summer home on the Goth.
Gompers Not Satisfied.
In an editorial for the July Fedora
ZIONIST President Gompers Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor condemns
the Injunction plank adopted by the
Chicago convention, saying "labor can
not be satisfied with any makeshift or
halfway promise. The moment has ar
rived for total change Of government
policy toward the workers. Candidates
for positions must be clear upon their
attitude toward the demands which la
Dor makes for justice and right, not for
some indefinite time in the future, but
now. Property rights must be main
tanned, but prior to this and far beyond
the rights Of property must come the
rights Of men. The workers have

At the very moment that Frank Fl.
Hitchcock emerged from the Chicago
contest flushed with the victory of hav-
ing nominated his man and when it
was generally expected that he would
be chosen by Taft to manage the cam
paign it was announced at the Gin
ctnnati conference of leaders that he
had declined to serve owing to the
condition of his health. While it was a
fact that the astute Taft manager was
much worn by his exertions at Chicago,
the impression was that he had got out
Of the way to show his unseldsh devo-
ton to Taft and to promote party har-
mony.
Georgia Against Bryan.
The twenty-six delegates selected by
the Georgia Democratic convention to
go to Denver were uninstructed, and it
is asserted that they will oppose the
nomination Of Bryan as the unit rule
has been adopted. In spite of this the
Bryan managers now claim that they
have two-thirds Of the delegates to the
national convention pledged for their
man.

a service in st. PauTs, at which
the 200 bishops present made the Of
ferings of their dioceses They laid
on the altar vouchers for sums aggre-
eating $1,666,O4 The most important
feature of the sessions centered around
the subject of the relation of the
church to the prevailing evils of so
ciety today. Most of the speakers en-
phasized the necessity of the church
taking an active part in removing the
industrial evils tending toward social
ism. Others openly advocated social
ism as the duty Of the church.
Saloon Defending Preacher Quits.
The Rev. George C. Richmond, rec
tor of the st. Georges Episcopal

Persian RevoIutionists Crushed.

PERSIAN RevoiutloniStS Crushed.
Advices from Teheran, the Persian
capital, told Of bloody battle in the
streets between the government Cos
sacks and the members Of the assem-
bly,. First a force of cavalrymen sur
rounded the parliament while the de-
mand was made that certain members
be given up. This was refused, and
thereupon heavy guns were brought
up, and bombardment Of the parlfa-
ment buildings and the neighborfng
mosque was begun. Bombs were hurl-
ed by the parliamentarians, and the
streets were said to be filed with the
dead. Later the shah's troops stormed
and captured the parliament. A score
Of revolutionists were taken before the
shah, who ordered them executed with
out trial. Martial law was proclaimed
N the capital, and the national assem-
oly dispersed, leaving the government
apparently master Of the situation. but
fighting was also reported ut Tabriz, in
dicating that the revolution was spread
ing.

Americans Quit Venezuela.
Jacob Sleeper, the American secre-
tary of legation and charge at Caracas,
Venezuela, and the attaches went

sailed away from Venezuelan waters,
thus virtually breaking off diplomatic
relations. While the immediate occa-
sion of this action is the admitted ex-

policy of ignoring Castro since he re-
fused to submit the questions in dis
pute to arbitration last winter.
