EARLY RUN OF HERRING.
Boys Whip the Stream for Them
Near the Chain Bridge.

1t is stated that herring have made
their appearance in small numbers in the
river about this city and that in the vicin-
ity of the Chain bridge boys have been
snagging them, by whipping a line armed
with hooks through the water, for the
past day or two. This is said to be the
first time in a number of years that the
fish have come up the river this early in
the season. and it is thought that 1t is
only small school of the advance guards
of the fish that have reached here. The
fisermen are not looking for the heavy
run of herring to begin until some time
in the latter part of this month or early
in April Seine hauling operations have
already been started at Windmill point
and Passa patanzy fishing shore, near
Maryland point, and it is stated that
during the coming season haul seines will
be fished at Chapmans shore. below
Marshall Hall; Fairy landing, near
Mount Vernon, and at Underwater, Va.
and the Gums shore. The herring and
shad caught at these places will be sent
to the market here.

FIGHT AGAINST SALOONS.
to Attack Licenses on
CAPITOL Hill.

At the last meeting of Eagle Tent, No.
?, Independent Order of Rechabites, ii
was voted to hold a mass meeting In
Rechabite Hall, 3O4 B street southeast,
Sunday night, March %, to consider the
matter of abolishing the saloons on Capt.
tol Hill. Chief Ruler Matthew E O'Brien,
who acted as counsel for Carrie Nation
in her recent trial and secured her re
versal of the Police Court decision, de-
clared that he had scheme whereby sew
eral saloons could be closed without seek
ing any new legislation.
1t is the contention of Mr.. OBrien that
saloons facing government reservations
are enormously licensed, because the law
which compels the applicant for a license
to secure the Endorsement of those prop
erty owners on the square confronting
his place of business has not been COM
piled with.
His plan is to bring the matter before
the Supreme Court of the District by GER
tiorari and have the matter judicially de-
termined whether or not the excise board
exceeded its powers in granting these
licenses. The mass meeting is called for
the purpose of indorsing the scheme and
providing ways and means for carrying it
into effect.

the Secretaryship of the Treasury. He
says simply 1t was brief but sufflclent-
las a matter of fact. Harrison was too
sly 10 trust anybody with letter con-
tanning a specific promise. In the letter
referred to. which was addressed TO
Platt, he simply said that Senator Elkins
was authorized to act for him. and that
any arrangement which Elkins and Platt
might make would be satisfactory to
him.
"Elkins gave the assurance that Plat
might control the New York patronage.
Platt accepted this, and. basing his be-
lief upon the promise of Gen. Harrison
letter, he laid claim to an appointment
for himself. as we'll as recognition for
his friends. He was denied the Treasury
portfolio. and he always construed this
as a violation of the spirit. il not the
letter. of the agreement made between
him and Gen. Harrison through Senator
Elkins.
THE character of letter which Harri-
son wrote Platt and which was delivered
by Elkins afforded an elegant opportunity
for a misunderstanding. When Elkins.
acting under carte blanche orders. prof
fered the New York patronage to Platt,
1t was natural for Platt suppose he
would be able to take care of himself.
Undoubtedly he must have had some as
surance that he would be provided for.

OPENING BOATING SEASON.
Sailing Vessels Arriving Daily With
Wood. Lumber and Other Cargoes.

The boating season on the Potomac is
opening now that all danger Of ice for
this year is over, and sailing craft laden
with wood lumber and other cargoes are
arriving and leaving port daily. The
schooner Ella, Capt. Redman, which ar

and which was caught by the freeze and
has been lying here since that time, left
port Yesterday on her way to upper
Machodoc creek to load wood for the

coe, J. c. Bailey Brown, Goldie c. and
Freddie L. Hamblin and the steamer
Dennis Simmons arrived here yesterday
with lumber aboard, and the schooners
Mary Francis and William Parks were
the recent arrivals with cord wood. AT
many points down the river vessels that
have been laid up since the latter part
of last wear are overhauling, and by the
middle OF this month the busy season
on the river will be in full swing. A
large part of the fleet that has been
engaged in running oysters are now pre-
pairing to run fish from the big haul

Eight Oyster Boats Arrive.

The arrival of eight vessels, laden with
oysters in the she'll from the lower Poto-
mac beds has relieved the shortage in the
supply which has existed for two or three
days and incidentally caused a drop in
the prices of the bivalves from SOC to 4Oc
for the cheaper grades. and from that
up to soc to 75c a bushel for better STOCK
Aboard the vessels lying at the wharf
this morning there were over 5000 bushels
of oysters and within the next day or
two several other oyster-laden craft Will
reach this market. The coming of cooler
weather will make the demand for oys-
ters heavier than it has been for the past
two or three days.
