Alleged Revelations Kegarding the Verdict in the Boyd-Thayer Case. @ Curcaco, May 11.—A special dispatch from Omaha says: A bombshell has been exploded in politi circles by the official announce- ment that the verdict in the Boyd-Thayer con- test case was rendered by the supreme court with a discussion of the issues and merits of the case by the judge of thecourt. Never dur- ing the entire proceedings was there a confer- ence held at which Judge Maxwell was permitted to express his views or interchange views with his colleagues. Judge Cobb was out of the state several weeks, and Norval, the youngest man on the bench, is'the ostensible author of the ma- jonty opinion to which Judge Cobb nppented is name after a private consultati which the oldest justice on the supreme bench was entirely ignored. Immediately after the opinions were filed Judge Cobb left the court room with Gov. Thayer, John T. Webster and Judge Mason. He went to the clerk’s office and ordered the writ issued without the con- sent of his associates. When Maxwell and Nor- val learned that the writ of ouster had been surreptitiously issued, Judge Maxwell nig nantly characterized the proceeding as beneal the dignity of the court. He cited the rule of the court that the defendant hada right to his motion for a rehearing and that in no event could any writ issued inside of forty days unless by express order of the court. Norval agrees with Maxwell that the proceeding on the part of the chief justice was irregular and in violation of the rule of the court, yethe did not join with Maxwell for » recall of the writ. ‘That Boyd's summary taking off was precon- certed is proved by the fact thet Penitentiary Contractor Mosier was on hand in the capital ‘an hour before the decision was rendered, and romptly presented himself to sign Thayer's Bond? nf will constitute the chief ples in the appeal to the United States Supreme Court by Boyd. ——— NEAL AND CAMPBELL. Is Their Reported Alliance One That Has Been Made in Sincerity? Special Dispatch to Twe EVEXrNo S7aR. Couvssvs, Omto, May 11.—From young Al- len W. Thurman comes an emphatic and ex- plicit denial of the story that the Old Roman Would present the name of Gov. Campbell to the democratic state convention. His father's health, he says, is such as to preclude the pos- sibility of the exertion which a convention speech would require. Allen's denial was scarcely necessary, however, to those of his fellow citizens in Columbus who knew how the weight of years has told upon Judge Thurman. He is aged, weak and trembling and —— even with the careful attention of family friends, expect to live much longer. But the story that he would nerve himself foralast and impressive public appearance and nominate Campbell for governor bas had the desired effect. The attention of rank and file democrats throughout the state has been directed afresh to the fact thi has the warmest friendship of and that he will be supported by their follow- ing. ‘Fue other portions of the deal resulting from the Thurman-Neal conference the other day, already outlined in Tue Stak, remain to be verified, although they are no doubt substan- tially true. It may now be stated with assur- ance that Mr. Neal has agreed to withdraw from the gubernatorial contest and that he has pledged himself to decline the nomination even should it be tendered him. In return for this itis equally certain that the Thurmans and Gov. Campbell have on their agreed to assist in having the state convention indorse Neal for United States Senator. THE OWIO SENATORSEIP. Now it would appear upon the surface that the chances for the election of the next Sena- tor by the democrats are so hazy that they need not and cannot be estimated. Even the most sanguine democrats admit that by any ordinary party vote the republicans will hold a majority of the general assembly for the next ten years. The recent legislative reapportion- ment is the cause of this state of affairs. The only hope of the democrats lies in with the Farmers’ Allian vude of that order is uncertain and its strength iu Ohio undetermined. Neal is with the Alli- ance in many questions of public policy, and his indorsement for Seustor by the convention might meet the approval of the farmers and gain their assistance in overcoming the repub- lican majority in the general assembly, thus making the cleetion of a democrat possible, ATTITUDE OF THE NEAL MEN. ‘The most plausible theory of the future atti- tude of Neal and the faction which oppose Campbell was given Tue Star correspondent by a leading democratic politician. Said he: “This talk of the Neal men becoming converted to Campbellism isail bosh. They feel as bitterly toward the governor now as they ever felt. They are shrewd enough, however, to see that no efforts of theirs can crowd him off the track for a renomination, and cepting with good grace the inevitable they are secretly plotting to secure revenge. “In my opinion,” said this astute politician, “the gang will be as good as its and help to nominate Campbell. Then when election day comes they will aid in bringing him | $234 Did. CAS oae ‘Teiephoue Stoc disastrous defeat. To do this they will proba- bly trade McKinley votes for assistance in gain- ing control of the legislature and thus elect their Senator, while at the same time accom- plishing their revenge upon Campbell.” piss ste hn PERIL FROM FOREST FIRES, A Work Train Surrounded and the Men Have & Narrow Escape.

EXTENT AND CAUSES OF THE DECREASE OF TER BIVALVE To BE THOROUGHLY INQUIRED INTO— AN ARTIFICIAL OYSTER STATION—TEE SPANISH MACKEREL TO BE ALSO STUDIED. ‘The United States fish commission steamer Fish Hawk, which now lies at the navy yard, has been put in thorough trim for her summer's work and will leave on Wednesday of this week for Chesapeake bay, there to prosecute a through investigation into the matter of the oyster beds of the bay and the best way to pre- serve the oyster himself from the complete that now seems to threaten him. The first point that is aimed at in the trip is Tangier sound, opposite the mouth of the Po- tomac. This has been chosen because it Hes both in Maryland and Virginia and contains all the most favorable conditions for research, the characteristics have been more carefully deter- mined, and it is the seat of some of the largest and most important oyster beds of the bay. Starting from there the Fish Hawk will begin thorough study of the oyster grounds of the Chesapeake. ‘HOW THE BEDS HAVE CHANGED. One of the objects of the work is to deter- mine what changes have taken place in the present oyster beds since they were last care- tt surveyed. Former ‘con- in cna ike by See Be surveys were made in neis Winslow of the coast survey and Dr. W. K. Brooke, . in an able and exhaustive treatise on the oyster which he has just ostigations in the So ry oe end @ forty-four are w low's av: and m above it. Upon one ‘of these bets in Hooper's strait we found 6.2 oysters to the square yard and we here obtained 4,000 oysters in six hauls, These oysters were all Yery small, averaging 400 to the bushel, and we probably ‘n area where there had been s good catch of spat a year or two before, but where there were no large oysters. At any rate this condition is exceptional, and I have therefore omitted the dredgings in Hooper's strait in the average for the bay. Leaving this peo- | ont the average for the other 58 beds gives -285 oysters to the square yard,or one oyster to | th limit the commission raised all ad awe until the appropriation was sp) ly ab- sorbed. Then these zones were subdivided and e within each readjusted. Some of the land was valueless for building sites and for farming, and thus nat- urally came cheaper than soil which might be ‘used ei ites or agricultural pur- work of valuation was lone the schedule of prices was submitted to the President and he approved it. Bince then each 4284 yards, while three years before there was one oyster to each 2.986 square yards. ‘NOT THE WHOLE TROUBLE. “Startling as this result is it is by no means the whole truth. We must remember that in 1879 Tangier sound was more exhausted than the bay, so there were undoubtedly more than 419 oysters to the square yard at thisdate, Then, too, we have examined many beds where seine is not permitted, and other beds where the oysters are unmarketable, and the high results which we obtained from these beds are included in the average. If these were omitted our total would show nearly 50 r cent of exhaustion to the most valuable a it must remem! oy it it decrease was within a very few years. Within the eight years since Dr. Brooks’ investigation the number of vessels and men engaged in the oyster trade has been greatly increased and the methods and appliances improved, and yet the catch has cay Garnee idly decreased. It fs proposed by the fish commission to fol- low out essentially the same methods with the Fish Hawk that were used in the preceding in- tion or improvement will be positively deter- mined and the quantity measured. This work also involves to a certain extent the laying out of the beds. AN ARTIFICIAL OYSTER STATION. An additional purpose of the commission is to determine upon some locality which can be taken for the establishment of an artificial oyster station where all the methods can be studied and tried of hatching the oyster arti- ficially and of obtaining and rearing the spat oF young to. size where it is useful as seed and where it can be provided for planting and for the formation of private breeding establish- ments. Artificial oyster culture has never been car- ried on thia country, although it is done very successfully in Europe, where in fact the sup- Ply can be maintained only by such methods. in the Chesapeake bay region the fishermen have been always practically dependent upon the Facet ibe for which protection has been totally inadequate, and as a result the beds have been constantly decreasing until the present time, when it is causing the greatest concern to every one interested in the oyster industry in Maryland and Virginia. In several states, notably Connecticut and New York, beds have been extended and new beds formed by planting. This method is also applicable to the Chesapeake region, and would promise even more valuable results, for the |éonditions are more favorabie over large areas. To STUDY THE SPANISH MACKEREI. During the summer the Fish Hawk will be engaged upon another very valuable matter in connection with ite work on the oyster beds. During the spawning season of the; mack- erel, which comes in the Chesay bout the 1st of June and continues for about a month, th fish commission's men will pay attention to th study and cultivation of that most popular and toothsome swimmer. During the past ten years the falling off in the mackerel catch has been enormous. Eggs have been hatched successfully, but never on any extensive scale. ‘The Fish Hawk is completely fitted up as an actual floating hatching station. She has on board all the necessary appliancesfor hatch- ing, and the work will be carried on this season on board between Tangier sound and themouth of the bay, so that while the oysters wil at no time be neglected” the Spanish mackerel by the million will be grow. ing from the egg tosuchasize that they will stand @ very good chance of arriving ut years of maturity and eventually reaching the Wash~ ington market. Col. McDonald, the fish commissioner, ts atly interested in the work. He is very feline with the region around Tangier sound and will go down on the Fish Hawk and por- sonally supervise the early part of the work, although he will not remain for any great Tength of time down the bay. glean CLAY PIGEON TOURNAMENT.
