Crate, They Sit Silently :. +
" In Their Seats. 49,

All Republicans look alike to Speaker
Champ Clark. He said so today, when
notifying the House that he recognized
no parliamentary distinction between a
regular and a follower of the colonel
But five Republicans were in their
seats when the House convened. The
rank and file Of the minority were at
the White House. where Mr.. Taft was
being informed Of his nomination.
1t was agreed yesterday that the
House should mark time for three
hours today. and that between noon
and 8 o'clock members might talk un-
der the license of general debate on
almost any old subject which appealed
to the orator.
this" said Speaker Clark, rs there
any Republican present who wants a
part of this three hours?"
Congressman Norris and Anderson,
Progressives and anti-Taft members,
said not word.
''Are there any Republicans PRESENT.

Democrat. II see a few Bull Mooses
over there"
"All Republicans are alike to the
Chair" said Mr.. clark. hitting the table
a mighty blow with the gavel. II re-
peat my question-does any Republican
want to speak during this general de-
bate?'
Judge Norris looked at Mr.. Anderson
and the latter permitted his gaze to
wander toward four inert Republican
colleagues. But the spirit moved none
OF them to say a word. and the Speaker
recognized Congressman Sharp of Ohio,
who began the three-hours' speech-mak-
ing allowed those Democrats who had
no especial interest in the white House
notification exercises.
A survey of the Republican side of
the chamber showed the following men,
bers were in their seats:
Congressman Norris of Nebraska,
Anderson of Minnesota, Fuller OF I'LL
nois, Copley of Illinois, and Hartman of
Pennsylvania. The three latter are re-
garded as regulars Nobody expected
Judge Norris and Mr.. Anderson to at
tend the notification exercises.
Congressman Rowland, an Ohio Re
publican, and a nominal regular. strolled
into the chamber a little later. Mr..
Howland, along with several Demo
Gratis, said he desired to extend his re-
marks in the Record" None of the
forty members of the House objected,
and then Mr.. Sharp started OF the
three-hours' talkfest. The House may
get down to business again after

fist, Submits to Regu-
lations.

Joseph H. Kapsa, gunner's mate in
the navy, who is a Christian Scientist,
has agreed to take the anti-typho.d
vaccination prescribed by the naval
regulations.
When he first refused to undergo the
prophylactic treatment he was court"
martialed and sentenced to q long term
Of detention at the disciplinary camp
at Port Royal. 8. G. Senator Works Of
California. and other Congressman in
terested themselves in Kapsa's behalf,
but finally concluded. It Is said, that
the sailors religious convictions did
not justify the stand he had taken
against an order designed solely for tho
protection Of his own health as well as
the health of the remainde= OF the
ships company.
Kapsa has been In the navy since
1902, and, excepting the present Ir-
stance, has a good record. In view Of
his acceptance of naval requirements In
the matter of typhoid prophylactics II
Is probable that his sentence may be
mitigated with a view to his early rsS-
toration 10 duty.

Fish Shortage. 80 :

mo Jersey trout today" was the re-
ply that greeted the buyer on the fish
wharves this morning. 1t Is a very
unusual reply, for jersey trout is the
biggest seller on the market and the
fact that there has been none for sew
erai days has caused a good deal Of
trouble for the local wholesalers.
Jersey trout generally sells at 80 a
barrel of 25 pounds Today its place
is being partly taken by Ocean City
trout. not SO good fish. which Is
bringing $40 a barrel of 200. pounds.
Considerable difference when you re-
member the difference in the fish. When
an occasional barrel Of the Jersey tribe
would drift in 1t was easy to sell at $14.
Norfolk trout, which is generally not
worth much Of anything. is being sold
Of the scarcity in the better grade.
Due to Storms On Coast.
Dealers attribute the absence of Jer-
sey to the storms which continue almost
daily all along the sea coast. OF course
no predictions can be made as to when
the supply will get back to normal, be-
cause no one can tell when the storms
are going to cease.
In the meantime, nearly all sorts of
fish have risen in price. and the fish
quotations this week are regarded as
unusually high for this season of the
year. Last week showed q stiffening

ket has not only held its own. but in
many instances has risen q little more

Sturgeon, for, instance, is bringing q

Croakers have nearly doubled during
the week, selling as high as So today
whereas they could be bought for 8;
this time last week. CLANS have also
jumped from an average Of 60 cents a
hundred to about 75 cents. .....
A slight rise is shown in Spanish
mackerel, bluefish, and halibut, but moi
enough to have any effect on the sales
For some reason or other, probably
because the market cannot stand any

sea bass have dropped considerably, the
former bringing only about 50. as against
$12 last week. and the latter standing
at 5 cents.
