I have done so unconditionally and with the good will of all the other candidates. I have left my friends free to vote for whom they please. I am now out of the race and am glad oi it." Mr. Shaw said that he thought Young's withdrawal would help his chances. Young's votes would be divided, and he expected to get his share of them.

Shaw still claims a division of the southeast vote, and will go into the caucus. One shrewd observer said tonight that the electipn of Russell as speaker meant also the election of J. Rhea McCord, of Osage county as chief clerk of the house. He argued that, next to McCord, W. L.

Townsend, of Jefferson county, is the strongest candidate for that position. Russell's election will, however, start him out, and leave McCord clearly in the lead. The Democrats and Republicans will both hold caucuses Wednesday night. The latter will hold theirs in the United States circuit court room. The object is not only to name candidates for the offices and positiopof the house, but to make the Repubf.an members acquainted with one another and to organize for the session.

When General Britton was here two weeks ago he asked General and Mrs Harrison if they had any suggestions or requests to make regarding the inaugural ceremonies. General Harrison made but one request that was the veterans of his old regiment might act as his guard of honor.

All other matters pertaining to the inaugural were left under the absolute control of General Britton and his committee. It will, therefore, be seen that the clergy is too late in the crusade, as the matter is practically passed out of General Harrison's haiids and there is scarcely a possibility that he would under any pressure interfere with arrangements of the inaugural committee. Should the preachers finally appeal to him they would doubtless be politely referred to General Britton. General Harrison, like many others, does not look upon tho inaugural ball as a dance, but rather part of a ceremony that custom has identified with the occasion. Those who attend the ball expecting to see the new president trip the light fantastic are liable to be disappointed in this feature.

OYSTER PIRATES ROUTED. Baltimore, Dec. 29. Information has been received of a desperate fight between the police Sloop Jnlia Hamilton and a fleet of illegal dredsers that took' place last Thursday afternoon in fishing hay off the Rochester coanty coast Captain Tyler, of the Julia Hamilton, discovered the pirates at work in the morning and ordered them away. They were enveloped in a dense fog and apparently sailed off, but returned.

In the af lernoon Captain Tyler attacked them. The battle continued several hours, oyer 600 thots being fired from the police boats and a great tuauy from the boats of the oyster thieves. An unknown dredger was shot through the arm and the boats were badly riddled with bullets, though no serious damage was done. The pirates were finally routed.

A special to the building occupied by Miller, Warren hardware, and favorable weather, it Chicago have been assisting the Chicago, Burlington Quincy railroad financially and boycotting all striking engineers who were applying for work. The magnitude of the figure it may cut in the future may not be appreciated until I explain it a little in detail. Last April the brotherhood was boycotting the road and others which were attempting to keep-them out, several general managers said to us, 'raise your boycott against rods other than the 'Q' and we will hereafter treat striking 'Q' engineers on an equal footing with others as far as giving them employment ia concerned. "We accordingly raised tbe boycott. We haye just learned of the support of the company and boycott of the strikers, which has apparently been running now for several weeks.

We had reports" from skilled, sober and reliable striking engineers who have traveled all over the United States looking for work. It was refused because they were strikers and the refusal to employ them was the part of an agreement which covered all the roads of the country with the exception, as I have stilted, of three of the2 Chicago flines. Our evidence that other roads have helped the financially is complete. "To say that the brotherhood men are wild over this discovery is drawing it mildly. Unless this financial support and boycott by these roads is.

discontinued soon this country will see the greatest strike that has ever taken place. The railway transportation of the country will simply be paralyzed by it, as it will be a fight to the death between organized labor and organized capital. The firemen, brakemen, switchmen, and every class of organized railway labor will be arrayed, on our side." the Times-Democrat from Greenville, says: Two weeks ago last Saturday Colonel Paxton's residence near Areola was totally destroyed by fire and it raining steadily all through the fire.

France already has the largest public debt of any nation in the world. It is as large as the debt of Great Brittan and Russia combined, and more than five times a large as that of the United States. Yet now it is proposed to assume the huge debt, of the Panama canal in order to prevent the company from dragging down with it the Government, whose officials in a measure guaranteed it. This scheme will live in history as the greates achievement or the most gigantic swindlers of the century. Even completed it may still lay claim to the latter title for there is no way in which it can be made to pay a profit on the enormous sums expended in its construction.

Already $400,000,000 have been sunk, and the work is but half done. The contemplated assumption of the debt of the company by the government, wi.l eventually make the canal a national pro- erty, and this will in turn make it a matter of considerable concern to this country.
