ANGLO AMERICAN PACT
SIR EDWARD CREWS SPEECH
ARoUsEs ENTHUSIASM.
Way to Permanent Tribunal Is Even
Seen by Lord
Reay.

London, England. - Sir Edward
ireys epoch making speech, as every
liberal calls it, has aroused enormous
interest throughout Europe and is
again the absorbing topic in the par.
liamentary Hobbies. By universal con.
sent, it is the most important pro.
nouncement made in parliament in
many years, and if some conservative
morning papers, taking the ground
that the foreign secretary's ideal is
almost impossible of attainment, com.
ment somewhat coldly and point to
the difficulties in it's path, the liberal
organs hail it with unbounded enthus-
iasm and express strong resentment at
the SOOTHING remarks heard from the
conservative benches, while Sir Ed
ward was speaking, such as chow
about Mexico" and similar interjec-
tons offensive to the Unionists.
The wagon of the Englsh-speaking
peoples is now hitched to a star"
said Sir Henry Norman. THE rest
may come slowly but it will come, and
it will date from 1911"
Similar opinions were expressed by
the most progressive members of the
house of commons. Indeed many mem
bers connected with the arbitration
movement found it difficult to believe
that Sir Edward Grey had not made
sure of his ground with regard to the
negotiations with the United States
before going so far in public utter
ance.
Lord Reay, the British delegate to
The Hague conference of 1907, in an
Interview, heartily welcomes the idea
and thinks that a general arbitration
treaty between Great Britain and the
United States might be the occasion
tor the establishment of a permanent
arbitration tribunal and that the only
possible opposition in America would
come from the Irish section.
The Nationalist party in the house
Of commons discussing the matter, are
frank in declaring that it would be
quite impossible to secure acceptance
OF the treaty until home rule has been
granted Ireland.
At his farewell reception at the
Carr's Lane chapel at Birmingham.
Rev. j. P. Jowett, who has accepted a
call to the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church. of New York, referred to Sir
Edward Grey's speech and said he
hoped that he might be able to help
forward Sir Edwards ideal of Anglo
American unity.

Monday night the river was. clear of ice
at Mccall Ferry. All the ice of the big
gorge passed over the power dam without
trouble, and the river dropped feet in
several hours.
The wing wall above the power house,
intended as break water. has served its
purpose admirably, as the powerhouse
was not in the least affected All danger
to the great plant is regarded as over,
despite the fact that a gorge several
miles in length, beginning at Turkey
Hill, still remains. A gorge still exists
at the mouth Of the Conestoga river, and
the food at Safe Harbor was 27 feet above
low water mark. Houses were flooded and
great masses Of ice surrounded numerous
buildings, as the ice broke up and passed
out into the bay, the river being clear

DEMOCRATIC JUBILEE

Content during the lean years Of defeat
to dine at dollar dinners" on hog and
hominy," with spring water on the side,
the militant Democracy Of roIr sat at Il
feast in Baltimore, on Tuesday night,
where the exclusive diamond back terra
pin We'd with the aristocratic canvas back
duck and the epicurean Smithfeld ham In
the courses Of banquet that fttingly
celebrated the Democratic victories OF
1910.
The banquet was the closing feature OF
4 day given over to conferences among
the Democrats from various sections OF
the country, and a rousing meeting at the
Lyric in the afternoon. The vast audience
was addressed by Gov. Judson Harmon,
of Ohio; Senator Joseph W. Bailey, OF
Texas; Representative Champ Clark, OF
Missouri, and former Senator Joseph G.
S. Blackburn, of Kentucky. Governor
.crothers presided, being introduced by
State Treasurer Murray Vandiver.
The speakers declared that with tariff
for revenue only, with Government ex-
penses cut to the lowest plane of economy.
and with the necessaries Of life on the
free list, where possible, the party would
redeem the pledges il had made TO
the people, and that the Democratic hosts
would sweep the country in 1879.
The most striking development Of the
many during the day and night was the
Inauguration Of movement for holding
the Democratic National CONVENTION in
Baltimore next year.
The Lyric was thronged. and many
could not gain entrance.
At7.3o in the evening magnificent
banquet was served in the Fifth Regiment
Armory. at which 100 men sat down to
the tables.
1t was probably the biggest banquet
ever attempted anywhere within the
United States, when its cost per plate $ro,
and the delicacies are considered.
The postmaster was Judge Ferdinand
Williams. Those who spoke at the
banquet were ex-senator Jos. c. Black
burn, Of Kentucky; Representative a.
Mitchell Palmer, Of Pennsylvania; Rep
resentative-elect Daniel J. McGillicuddy,
of Maine; ex-Representative Throdore M.

German Defeated In Worlds Cham.
plonsllip Match.

For the seventh time since the sE. G., Cup
was placed in competition in 1885, e. O. Crosby,
of O'Fallon, His, on Saturday successfully de-
Tended his trophy emblematic of the worlds
inanimate target championship, by defeating
Lester German in their special match at the
grounds of the Chicago Gun Club.
The final count was 12l broken targets to 118,
the former National League pitcher hailing
from Aberdeen, Md, only losing out after 9
neck and neck race.
4 German, the chall enger, found his Nemesis
in the second event at fifty targets under ex.
pert rules and only managed to break 81, while
Crosby mashed Al of the flying missiles.
The match was shot under anything but
favorable conditions, and the scores were not
up to the ordinary. A hazy atmosphere with
a penetrating chill prevented high-class work,
and the traps which had been placed in use
especially for the event failed to work prop
erly at the start. adding to the discontinue o.
the contestants.
The first event OF the match was confined to
fifty targets at unknown angles. and the way
things went along it looked as though tie
might result German missed the very first
bird. but Crosby was not long IN evening up,
and they went along to the fiftieth target with
final account of "A each. The next fifty found
German wanting, however, and he fell down in
the pinches but banged away steadily conf
dent that he could even up the account on the
doubles.
Crosby again came to the front In the wind
up, however. leading at the close by 36 to 35,
making the total count for the match l21 to
to 1l6.

DrOuth Hurt The oyster.

Commander of the Oyster Navy. T. C.
B. Howard, when interviewed in the city
a few days ago, had the following to say
about the oyster industry. He said:
s"The yield is greater than ever before,
but the quality is poor. Every other
oyster producing section in the country,
with probably one or two exceptions, Jared
as badly as Maryland. AT the beginning
of the season the prices were very low,
averaging about 20 cents per bushel, but
more recently there has been an improve
iment, and now as much as 90 cents Is OBJ
tainable. No other reason can be assign
ed for the poor quality than the drouth in
the, summer and fall. The rains usually
wash into the water the earth containing
matter on which the oysters feed. and this
being denied them, they did not acquire
that fullness which makes them so juicy
and palatable."
