Washington. May f4.-There is something doing in regard to the regulations of oysters by the depart ment of agriculture, but the pure food board this morning refused to give any information except to say that the old regulations would be modified in some respect.

As yet the department has not set any time for an inspector to visit Connecticut but the proba bility is that one will be sent soon after the new regulations are is- sued.
