Baltimore, March, 24. The annual
war among- oystermeu on Chesapeake
bay broke oat yesterday, and a furious
battle was fought. Several yeare ago
some persons residing in Accomack
county took up a large tract of oyster
ground in Pokomoke sound. The oyster-
men in the neighboring island of Tangier
claimed that the planters' . had violated
the law by taking up a national oyster
lock. The case was taken to the courts
and decided against the planter. Under
an act passed by the Virginia legislature
last ' winter the planters'' proceeded .to
take the oysters from their reservation.
This greatly enraged the islanders, who
determined to prevent it at all hazards.
Early yesterday -morning the . Tangier
islanders -manned two - sloops with a
force numbering about seventy-five men
and proceeded to where the dredges'
were operating. , They ' found twelve
schooners at work, and close by was one
of the Virginia police boats to protect
the dredges. The commander of the
state police boat ordered the islanders to
keep off, and when they disregarded his
orders he opened fire on them ' with his
cannon. The islanders, who were armed
with rifles, replied, and soon the firing
became general. The - dredgers, - who
were expecting an attack came on deck
and fired volley after volley into the
islanders, who were driven to shelter in
the holds of their vessels. - The oyster
police boat kept up a fierce fire with
grape and canister on the islanders, who
finally withdrew from the unequal con
test and sailed away to Tangier, ; where
they arrived . about midnight. In the
engagement Capt. Thomas Dies, of Pun-
gateague, who commanded one of the
dredging boats, was killed, and several
of the islanders received slight wounds.
The fight took place in full view of Tan
gier island, and while it was going on
the entire population of the islands
watched the progress of the . fight from
the northern shore. Many of the women
fainted, and the children ran along the
shore screaming and wringing their
hands. It is said that hardly a person
on the island slept any last night and
the greatest .excitement prevails. The
dredgers and the islanders are greatly
incensed against each other, and it is
feared that hostilities will break out
afresh, unless the authorities interfere
at once and settle' the trouble.
Matters in Oermany.
Berlin, March 25. Several changes
in the ministry have been made the past
few days. The emperor has sent for
Herr Billestren, leader of the center
party, who has gone to Hubertustock
for an interview, by special request.
The official organ of the government, has
announced that Chancellor von Caprivi
will be relieved of the presidency of the
Prussian ministry but retains the posit
ion of Prussian minister of foreign affairs.
Count von Eulenbnrg, ' grand mar
shal of court, succeeds Caprivi as -president.
Dr. E. von Bosse is appointed
minister of ecclessiastical affairs to re
place Count Sedlitz Trutschler.
' . . Maryland Society ITotes.
Annapolis, March; 24. Gov. Brown
has been a resident of the executive
mansion at Annapolis for several months.
After one or two receptions it was an
nounced that no more would be jriven
for some. time. : It now ; appears that
they were discontinued because of . petty
jealousies and r- rivalries engendered
among the ladies who had been regarded
as social leaders, and who were unwill
ing to award that position to Mrs
Brown. i The. feeliBg has broken out
into open war, and the local papers have
taken sides. The - tempest began to
gather at the first Saturday afternoon re
ception, v Invitations were sent out, but
scarcely any one attended. Meeting
eomeyoang society people afterwards,
Mrs. Brown pleasantly chided them for
not visiting her 4hat evening, and in
vited them to call'oii her reception day.
When they called they were met by a
servant who expressed the hostess re
grets that she could not receive, and re
quested them to call on the following
Saturday. Nearly all did call,, but they
were turned away. It is said that Mrs.
Brown took this x means to avenge the
slight put upon her at the first recep
tion, and that she and the rest of the
family were looking through the slats of
the blinds enjoying the discomfiture of
the visitors. - '- --
Another Chicago Sensation.
Chicago, March 24. A divorce suit,
promising interesting ; .developments,
was begun today by Mrs. Ella Burling
ham, wife of the Oak-street druggiet
whose departure for Europe, during the
Cronin excitement caused much com
ment. The couple came to Chicago in
1874 with only $500, and now he is worth
$75,000,. which Mrs. Burlingham sets
forth that she helped to earn. The de
fendant's refusal to .purchase a home,
notwithstanding his ample means, and
a belief that he is about to start for
Europe with another woman, are the
grounds advanced in the wife's bill for
divorce. - It is understood that LeCaron,
who gave such sensational testimonv
before the Parnell commission in Lon
don, was a partner in the drug business
here with Burlingham.
Rainmaker's Complaint.
El Paso, Tex., March 25. Frank
Melbourne, the rain wizard, and his
brother, arrived in El Paso today from
Hermosillo, Mexico, whither they went
under contract with the state of Sonora
to produce rain. Mr.' Melbourne said
that his contract allowed him sixty days
in which to produce three storms at
$2500. The committee appointed by the
government would not permit him to.
operate until the 2d of March, five days
before his contract expired. He then
began his experiments, and between the
3d and 6th , one and one-quarter inches
of rain fell. As soon as the clouds be
gan gathering the committee ordered
him to discontinue, as a natural rain
was coming. He did not receive a dol
lar for his experiments. A committee
of El Paso citizens are trying to raise
money to enter into a contract with Mr.
Melbourne for rains throughout the sea
son, to cover western Texas, southern
Mexico and eastern Arizona.
Recovered the Dead.
Dusbab, Pa., March 24. The dead
have been rescued from their untimely
tomb, and all that remain now is to af
ford Christian burial to the miners who
met their fate in the Hill Farm mine,
June 10, 1890. The twenty-three bodies
found yesterday will be brought to the
surface for burial today. When found
the bodies were huddled together, show
ing the imprisoned miners had' fled as
far from death as possible. The bodies
were contorted in ghastly shapes, indicat
ing the miners had suffered the most
horrible torture' before death. Owners
of the mine have expended $100,000 m
accomplishing the rescue of the bodies.
Wanted the Captain.
Cleveland, O., March 25. When a
captain in the army, several years ago,
the now noted evangelist, ReY. Freder
ick von Schluenbach, of this city, met
and married Celestine Fuerle, a society
bell of Washington city. They lived to
gether in Texas for many years. Sch
luenbach went to Berlin in 1888, and
wrote to his wife to join him there.
She refused. He came home and re
ceived a call to Cleveland. His wife
alro refused to accompany him there.
She said she had married an army capt
ain and not a preacher, and was de
termined not to live with him again. A
decree of divorce was granted yesterday.
Careless way of Depositing; Valuables.
Denver, March 25. At a sale of un
claimed goods, held by the Denver and
Rio .Grande yesterday, Albert Poole
bought seven boxes belonging to Col.
Henry Altaian, which were found to
contain, deeds and certificates to the
value of half a million dollars. The
property had . been stored for several
years, and was sold by mistake of a new
agent. - Col. Altman. will recover, his
property, and perhaps take better care
of it in future.

Britian and the United States, on the
Behring Sea controversy has been made.
public. buorn of all verbiage, it

and Lord Saulisbury is placed in a posi
tion from which he cannot well recede.
In senate executive session yesterday.
Senator Sherman, chairman of the com
mittee on foreign affairs, pointed out the
advantage to the United States from the
ready acquiescence and submission to
arbitration, and how Great Britain's,
refusal for a modus vivendi would be
placed in an unenviable light. Sherman,
also reported a resolution from the com
mittee in .the nature of an endorsement
of the attitude which is assumed by the
president, and in substance, assuring
him of the support of the senate. The
discussion revealed quite a determina-;
tion on the part of the senate to main
tain the dignity of the nation and pro
tect its rights. There was no belief that
war would result from the present en- -tanglement,
and for a second time, this
session, there was an expressed idea that
as Great Britain appeared to be stopped
from acting according to ' her own best
interests and principles and common
justice, through a deference to the senti-7
ment of Canada, it would be well to ad
minister to the- latter a leESon by the
withdrawal of that priceless concession,
the privilege of free shipment of her pro
ducts and goods throughout the United
States. No action .was taken today on
the subject. The instructions to naval.
officers assigned to vessels intended for
the protection of seals are not yet wholly-
complete, but it is evident the opera
tions of veesels will this year be extended
not only to Behring Sea, but also the.
waters within the three-mile limit along--the
entire Alaskan coast of latitude 55 to -Enimak
pass, south of Behring Sea. On '
the other hand, the British Pacific squad
ron, has received instructions to protect
Canadian sealers in the event that no
arrangement can be arrived at with the
United States. Lord Salisbury professes
to have been inclined to. let the Canad
ians take the chances of escape from the
American revenue cutters and litigation
in the American courts. To th'is Sir
Charles Tupper, strenuously objected..
He said the failure to protect British
subjects engaged in an occupation as-"
eerted by Great Britain to be lawful,
would be the virtual abandonment of all
claims to Canadian loyalty. Advices
have been received that the Warspite
is now on the way to North Pacific
waters, and a strong fleet will be mar
shaled at Esquimau- to be ready for any
hostile demonstration on the part of the "
United States.
Resorting to Poison.
Paris, March 24. Gen. Desbastas this
morning says that the anarchists, re
sponsible for the recent dynamite ex
plosions, have resolved to use poison for .
their destructive work, instead of dyna- .
mite, which has caused but a trifling loss
of life. Dynamiters have, been experi
menting to discover a poison which
could cause death without the risk of
detection. A sample poison was -found
during the search of the lodging-houses.

Philadelphia, March 24. Tlie utmost
reticence in regard to the details .of the

adelphia refinery, which .is believed to

The price paid for the Spreckel's refinery .
is said to be . $6,500,000. .-, It is , reported
that Harrison, Frarier & Co., are to re
