1 UICAUO. Feb. 2>.—There was a decidedly
lietter feeling in the grain and provision
markets to-<l.--y. with prices steadily picking
■p. Ihe del and was general, coming alike
Com home and outside traders. Outside
l>: ices were sustained to the close, which was
steady all around. Wheal u st- considerably
improved all through the session, opening at
an advance of •,(a.%c over yesterday's
elosjg prices. The course for tlie first hour
was 1 little unsettled, but values advanced
irregularly, and by the close had recorded an
upward move ol I? 4 e. closing with the ad
vance well sustained. The imfiroveinent was
said to 1 largely on the merits of stuffs, the
crowd secnjmg to have a settled conviction
that yesterday's break was the l*ottoiu for the
time* lafing. while the desire to catch the
market on .he up turn was very general.
' rn was more actively traded in, bet:cr
prices being induced in part by greater and
growing strength in other grain. Tlie ail
sauce was ?„<• in leading futures, all of which
was sustained. The close at 1 o’clock was
-teady and strong. Oats ruled Hat and dull,
with moderate speculation in May options at
the range of l 4 e. The tone of the market at
tne close was quiet but steady. Provisions
were more favorably thought of by local
speculators, and wen; liberally bought at
quite steady upward prices. Receipts at the
yards were’light, and made the openings®
lie higher than yesterday’s closing. The ad

AVxshington, Keb. 27.—One hundred
and fifty members ttra just serving their
last week in the Congress of the United
States. Next Wednesday they will shake
the dust of Washington and of official
life from their feet, it may be for years, it
may be forever. Of these retiring states
men 11 are Senators, 7 are Delegates, and
132 are members of the House. Of the
150 about one-balf have served but one
term, while the others range through
terms of years running up to ten and
twelve. There are a half dozen men who
retire at the end of this session who have
served ten years apiece, and a half dozen
more who have served twelve years
apiece. The aggregate legislative expe
rience of the 150 is about 750 years, or an
average of five years apiece. And the
most wonderful leature of the wboiemat
ter is that of the 150 who go out 15, or
10 per cent., do so from choice,
having declined a renomination. This roll
of honor is as follows: Budd of California,
Hardeman of Georgia, Cameron ol Wis
consin, Washburne of Minnesota. Davis
of Illinois, English of Indiana, White of
Kentucky, Lacy of Michiean, Jordan of
Ohio, George of Oregon, I’attou of Penn
sylvania, Houseman of Michigan, Dibrell
ol Tennessee, Poland of Vermont. Miller
ot Pennsylvania, and Maginnis oi Mon
tana. Belford, Blair, Lapbam, Pendleton,
Cameron and Dibrell have served ten
years each, and Kellogg, Maginnis,
Vance, Smith, Buckner and Poland have
served twelve years apiece.
SEN ATOR CAMKRON, OK WISCONSIN.
Of tbe 150 thus retiring there are iimirn
her who are worthy of more ihan pa-sing
notice. Take Senator Cameion, of Wis
consin; for instance, who refused a re
election. Jlis departure is greatly re
gretted by a great many men here who
know hitn best. He is one of the hardest
workers, best uatured men, aud most
popular members of the Senate. Ilis as
sociates of tbe Committee on Claims, of
which he is Chairman, are especially at
tached to him. aud evinced their appreci
ation of aim but a lew evenings since by
tendering him a dinner at one of the most
fashionable establishments of the city.
Mr. Cameron is an extremely agreeable
gentleman personally, capalde of telling
a good story, and telling it well,
but not often indulging in that 9ort
of thing, a hard and conscientious work
er. His sturdy Scotch determination and
will power carries nim through many dif
liculties which many other men would
think could not be overcome. Recently
he met with tbe misfortune of losing the
use of bis writing fingers, probably from
long and constant rse of ibo pen. And
what did he do ? Sit idly down and call
his well-paid committee clerk to do his
writing for him, as nine out of ten men
would have done? Nothing of the sort;
he simply seized tbe pen as one would the
handle ol a dagger or a walking-stick,
tbe point of the pen projecting past the
lower portion or “ball'’ of the hand, and
in a few days had learned to write with
the pen in this position. Almost any day
it you are in the gailery you may see this
white-haired and white-liearded man writ
ing in this odd way, rather than be de
pendent upon his commit'ee clerk or a
private secretary. He reiites to resume
the practice of law, his firm having con
tinued the business during tbe tt years
be bus been here.
How odd it will seem lo William Pitt
Kellogg, of Louisiana, to tie cut of office,
lie has not drawn the breath of a free
American citizen for 25 years. Appointed
Chief Justice of V braska in 1801, his
career has been t but of a public servant
ever since. He held that office until he
cot a better one, the Colonelcy of the
Seventh Illinois Regiment, and in his war
experiences found the climate of Louisi
ana and the opportunities for office both
agreeable to him. So he settled there at
a good, fat salary as Collector of tbe Port
of New Orleans, w hich place* be resigned,
having been elected ITuited States Senator
in isos. He hold his Senatorial position
until 1872, when he resigned to’beeome
Governor of Louisiana, and after serving
his term was elected to the Senate again,
w hence he. two y ears ago, drifted to the
House. Unselfish fellow, he has always
been ready to resign an office when an
other and better one was fairly within
Lis grasp. OflPebolding is supposed to
bs unremunerative, but Mr. Kellogg
■seems to have been able to serai*: to
gothcr a pretty snug fortune in the 25
yews be has been in the business. lie
lives ut Willard’s Hotel when here, rides
in hJ* carriage, and is usually accom
panied when walking or riding by the
prettiest little spaniel in Washington,one
pronounced by dog fanciers to be the
finest ia tin: United States, having cost
$5OO in London, where it was purchased
two years ago by Packard and sent to
Kellogg.
WILI.IAM PITT KELLOGG, OF LOUISIANA.
Ueu. Jtosecrans is another gentleman
who makes Lis adieu to public life next
Wednesday, lor t tlio present, at least,
though it is ijnite jirobabie that his disap
pearance may t><? omv iri.'.^?iary i fie is
a man of a good tieni of read in; Siul
and with n name which would tig a good
ileal toward establishing hiht at some nice
cozy foreign mission, 10 which.Mr. Cleve
land will be pretty likely to appoint him
if he wants it. Arid be will want it, pro
vided ho does not get sonu thing better.
Another gentleman w‘ho steps down and
out, with a hope of stepping tip and into
a better place, is Phil. Tuoinpsou, of Ken
tucky. He has his eye on the Internal
Revenue Bureau, and is concentrating the
tire ot Kentucky on Cleveland to get
it. He is more asked for than
almost any other man on the
llcor. llis personal "career lias been
such that a good many people want to see
him, as they would want to see any sub
ject for its’ individuality. He is not an
orator, his weak voice and small figure
unfitting him for oratorical greatness. He
made a pretty good recoul for himself in
ihe last session o( Congress. His Pacific
railway bill and his bill relating to inter
nal revenue were among the best meas
ures presented to the House. But his
constituents did not appreciate then..
* Chalmers goes out regretted by nobody.
The Democrats despise him. The Repub
licans despise bim for what he bad been
and what he is, for they tecognize his
“conversion” as merely one lor the sake
ot the loaves anti fishes. He retires to ob
scurity, as he ought. He glides silently
about the halls of Congress like a ghost,
seldom speaking or spoken to, feeling
himself the political outcast that he is.
Another roan who goes out unwept and
unhonored is Mr. Dorsheiiner, of New
York. He came in with a blast of trum
pets, but goes out amid the bootings of
the mob. His two years in the House
have shown how greatly a great people
may be mistaken in a man that they sup
pose great. If Mr. Dorsheimer has any
greatness, other than that of a physical
nature, it is of a sort fit somewhere else
than in Congress. A big overgrown baby
is the general yerdict ol those who haye
watched his career here. In appearance
he is a rather remarkable man. He is
considerably more than six feet in height,
and big iti proportion to his length. His
glistening white head, surrounded in its
baldness by a fringe of black hair, looms
above everything in the retiring band of
patriots. Unhappy tbe lot of the man
who comes to Congress with a reputation
which he is unabie to sustain in the hand
to-hand fight which he there encounters.
A man who goes out really regretted by
friend and political foe is Horr, ol Michi
gan. His career has been a remarkable
one. A busy, hustling sort of fellow, wbo
has never had time to study the graces of
oratory, he is as full of keen mother wit
as any lellow who ha3 graced the hall of
Congress for a long time, unless perhaps
it be Mr. Ueed, of Maine. He ha 9 proven
himself a really able student of national
questions, a ready debater, keen in
repartee, and an excellent story-teller in
private life. He and Reed and Dunham,
and sometimes Bayne and Cannon, have
a habit of gettine together in a httle knot
on the floor of the House after the session
to comment upon the day’s work, tell
stories and chat about whatever may
come to their rniuds. They are a merry
party, but they will sadly miss Horr’s
smiling face, fat, pudgy figure and spark
ling witticisms when they come together
again next winter.
SENATOR I’KNDLKTOX, OK OHIO.
A man who goes out of the Senate with
a great deal more of genuine respect and
honor than he even had when he came to
it, is Senator Pendleton. Hooted at and
derided for his civil service ideas, he has
taken this for his particular theme in
Congress, realizing tbat > true success
comts from concentration upon one or
more important subjects rather than an
attempt to be brilliant in eve’*ything.
And by this course he has made a suc
cess greater than that of almost any con
temporaneous statesman. His civil ser
vice system will carry his name down to
succeeding generations long after those
who have hooted at it and him are for
gotten. it is whispered that Mr. Pendle
ton, if he does not go into the Cabinet, is
pretty sure of a mission oi the first-class
at some of the foreign courts.
Gen. Slocum, of New York, is another
gentleman who retires without having
entirely fulfilled the expectations with
which his “debut” was annouticed. He
had been here before, too, so that it is
perhaps not exactly proper to speak of
his coining on this occasion as a “debut,”
but rather as a reappearance. His only
brilliant performance in this Congress has
been to thus far defeat the Grant retire
ment bill because ot his chagrin over the
veto of the Fitz John Porter bill. Mr.
Randall still hopes to get the Grant bill
through, however, in spite of opposition.
Slocum is rather a good-looking fellow,
with a pretty good address.but aside from
his two tights for Fitz John Porter and
against Grant, he seems to have accom
plished little, although he had been in
Congress lor a couple of terms before
coming to this one.
GEN. SLOCUM, OF NEW Y ORK.
Mr. Ochiltree, the “only native Texan
ever elected to Congress,” is another re
treating figure. He has not disappoint
ed any body, for nobody expected much
from him. What is to become of him af
ter the protection of Congress is with
drawn from iiis now sacred person is
hard to say, for Mr. Alexander still swears
he will slice him up the day he ceases to
be a member of Congress." How sad a
fate for one so young and innocent!
Air. Belford, the red-headed roarer of
the Rockies, goes too, after 10 years’ con
tinuous service. He is a queer character,
but in more senses than one a “brilliant”
cue. If Relford would take advice, and
“look not upon the wine when it is red,”
would eliminate the color from his very red
face and nose, wear clothes of a fashion
able cut and a comfortable fit, and omit
some of his oddities, lie would make one
of tbe most successful men in public life.
For he is as “sharp as tacks” and well
read. But, alas, there are too many
“ifs.”
John If. White, the irrepressible, also
goes. He will resume t-lie practice ot law,
probably, for be lias a line le:al training.
He had at one time thought of removing
| to Louisville and settling him sell in the
practice of law there. Of course there will
be a good many men in as well as out ot
Congress who will rejoice when 31 r. White
takes his place iu the throng of retiring
statesmen, but there will be few among
that 150 w r ho are brighter, better read,
or gentler in private life than this same
noisy and demonstrative member of the
House, whose appearance on the floor is
always greeted with a mental groan of
anguish by a 1 trge majority' of those who
witness it.
And there is another of this class—
“ Richelieu” Robinson, of New York.
Heaven rest him. There have been a good
many worse men in Congress, but lew
who could make more uoise when the tail
of the British lion was in sight.
Senator Jonas, of Louisiana, gives
place to the man whom he succeeded, Mr.
Eustis. Jonas has made a “record” as a
political manager in the past year, and
will not he long out of a job. There are
plenty of nice positions in and out of this
country, rny one of which he would !
grace.
Mr. Money, of Mississippi, who wanted
to be Postmaster General, will perhaps
rise to the surface again some time.
Washbnrne, ot Minnesota, one of the
best workers in the House, it is whispered
may come back to the Senate in a couple
of years to succeed Mr. McMillan. He
might have staid in the House as lone as
he liked—indeed, be did remain as “long
as be liked,” for it wa# only after the
most vigor6US and positive refusal of A
rerjoiQjnution that his district named
successor to occupy tUe seat he has so
long held.
And there Ufe Eaton and Einerty and
Williams and Culbertson and Morse and
Broadhead and Lapiiam and Potter and
Keifer and Hurd and Converse and Po
land, and dozens of others deserving of
mention. But time and space forbid, and
perhaps there are things to say about
them that were better not said.

IMPUISOXEII IN A CELLAR
And Kept Them 11 Years, He Says, by
His Stepdaughter and Her Husband.
Pittsburg, Feb. 27. —William Jackson
Moore, of Tridelphia, Washington county,
til years of age, came to this city to-day
to consult legal advice concerning some
property of which, he says, he has lieen
defrauded by relatives. Moore says that
for 11 years his stepdaughter and her hus
band kept him a prisoner in a cellar, and
that he was not permitted to leave his
prison except occasionally at night, when
he would be allowed to walk about the
yard bound with ropes. When visitors
came to the bouse, as an extra precau
tion, a gag was put in his mouth to keep
him from making any outcry.
Some days ago he missed his usual
allowance of food, which was passed to
nim through a hole in the door. Hearing
no sound in the house, he determined to
make his escape, and with a large stone
which had worked loose in the wall he
battered the door down. His relatives
were nowhere to be found, and with money
which he discovered in one of the draw
ers he came to Pittsburg. Previous to his j
imprisonment he says he was forced to
make a will in fa\or of his stepdaughter, !
and on the day preceding his incarcera- !

HARVARD CLUB’S DINNER.
A MENU IN HOG LATIN AND UN
GRAMMATICAL ERRORS.
Ridiculing Harvard’s Abandonment of
Classic#—The Guests of the Occasion—
The Holler Skating Mania—President
Arthur’s Health—What a Visit to Her
Majesty’s Theatre in London Re
called.
CorreJU>ondtnce of the ifominj Sews.
New York, Feb. 26.—One of the jolliest
big dinners of the season was that of the
Harvard Club at Delmonico’son Saturday
night. It was a flow of soul, if not a feast
of reason. A feature of the occasion was
the menu, which, in ridicule of fair Har
vard's tendency to abandon the classics,
was printed in Latin of a character to
make Quintillian gasp and stare. The
Latin w T as not only of the time of Arthur,
in place of that of Augustus, but, in one
or two instances, the adjective did not
agree with its noun, in gender, number
or case, and there were other grammati
cal errors equally unpardonable. Of
course ( ?) the printer was to blame for
some. Appended to what was Intended
to be the language of Cicero was a trans
lation in the form of a gibberish bearing
tbe same relation to Latin that pigeon
English does to the tongue of Shakespeare
and Milton. Index ciborum , for example,
was translated by “billefarius.” This
unique bill of fare was a fair sample of
the festival. Although, it being a college
dinner, some of tbe speeches necessarily
smacked of shop, the fun was last and
furious, and by the time it was Sunday
morning the assembled scholars and men
of learning had abandoned all pretence of
culture.
There was a sad side to it all, however.
The lapse of time became painfully mani
fest when one met bald and gray-haired
men whom he remembered as boys with
“shining morning faces.” A conversa
tion between the members of the class of
1870 illustrates how times change and we
with them. “Hello, White, this is the
first time we have met for nearly fifteen
years,” said Black. “How are you?” re
sponded White, in cordial tones,' as if he
remembered the other well. Black pre
pared to sit beside the classmate he had
not seen for so long. “I’m keeping this
chair for Black,” White objected. “But
I'm Black!” was the reply. Tableau.
In the course of the meal a man dis
tinguished both as a scholar and writer
told his adjoining companion that he had
learned to play billiards of recent years,
and that the last time he had played he
had made 150 points at the three-ball
game. He often averaged, he said, a tenth
part of that. His antagonist on these oc
casions was a brother of the Eno who is
now living in Canada for the benefit of his
health. The billiardist Eno is probably
the best amateur player in New York.
When the scholar had concluded his con
fidence, his companion suggested that,
with his talent for the game, he might
make his fortune as a professional billiard
pi iver. “As I am making $30,000 a year by
inv present profession, it would hardly
pay me to change!” was the reply to the
suggestion.
One of the guests at the dinner was the
Rev. Mr. Rainsford, of St. George's
Church, who is a graduate of Cambridge,
England, (not of Oxford, as I may have
mistakenly said in a former letter). His
presence and his dress illustrated the
evangelical type of Episcopalianism, of
which be is an exponent. According to
the High Church idea, he ought not to
have been there at all, as a public dinner
should not be attended in Lent, especially
on a day of abstinence as well as of fast
ing. He wore the ordinary eveningdress,
and there was nothing about him to dis
tinguish him from the laymen present,
while the Rev. James Freeman Clarke,
who naturally is more evangelical than
any Episcopal clergyman can be, was
clothed in ministerial"garments.
This matter of dress on public occa
sions is generally the outward and visi
ble sign of the inward and spiritual char
acter of an English clergyman. Mr.
Rainsford is by no means the only one
who wears the swallow-tail of the lay
man, while there are others, and they
the large majority, who never lay aside
tlie high-cut waistcoat, Roman collar
and peculiar coat, which form the clergy
man’s uniform. Bishop Henry C. l’orter
characteristically compromises as to cos
tume, or did, at least, before he became
bishop. He used to wear, on dress occa
sions, and, perhaps, still does, the swal
low-tail coat of the layman, but retained
the high-cut waistcoat’of the clergyman.
The effect of this attempt to wear the
uniform of, if not to serve, two masters,
is not a little startling. For with a swal
low-tail coat one naturally expects a lcw
cut waistcoat, and corresponding display
of snowy shirt bosom in place of a black
covered breast.
THIS MANIA FOH ROLLER-SKATING
| has here, as apparently everywhere else,
| seized upon all sorts and conditions ot
men, women and children. Although
there has been some ice-skating lately, it
has not diminished the popularity of the
roller article, and the rinks which are to
be found all over the city continue crowd
ed every evening. So well are they pat
ronized that the theatre, albeadv injured
| by the hard times, sutler greatly, and
many a manager prays that the epidemic
will run its course, as it almost certainly
! will in tint ', and leave New' Yorkers free
to spend their evenings at. the theatres.
If any more skating rinks are erected ap
parently several of the theatres will have
to close or be turned into rinks. In that
event perhaps too much competition will
spoil the business, and thus put an end to
the craze.
Pneumonia, always the worst enemy of
the dwellers iu this changeable climate,
never numbered more victims than it does
this season. On every hand one hears ol
deaths from this cause alter but a lew
days, and sometimes a comparatively lew
hours, sickness. The disease is said to
reap its richest harvest among the de
votees of roller skating. The bad air of
the rinks, to begin with, cannot tail to be
injurious to the lungs, and after getting
heated in the close, confined atmosphere,
skaters go out into the open air with alt
the pores open, and the perspiration is at
once checked. The result is in nearlv
every ease a severe cold, which may de
velop into something worse, and not in
frequently pneumonia sets in at once.
This may be all very true, and doubtless
pneumonia and subsequently death have
continually resulted from attendance at a
roller skating rink, but the theatrical
people, through one ol their organs, are
making so much of the circumstance that
one is tempted to believe that the theory
that roller skating causes pneumonia
originated with them, if tbev were
not interested in giving' roller
skating a bad name their
testimony as to its being a cause of
pneumonia might be received with com
parative taith, but undt-r the circum
stances one is almost inclined to consider
the theory a weak invention of the
enemy. The fact, however, that pneu
monia was never so nrevaleut, and the
number of its victims never so
combined with the twin fact that roller
skating was never so popular, goes far to
pruVC that the relation between the two
iT,a“ *ue that oi cause and effect.
AN INTIMATE FRIEND OF PRESIDENT
ARTHUR
told me the other day that the President,
his healthy appearance to the contrary
notwithstanding, was seriously ill lrom
mental anxiety and overwork. He is
suffering from dyspepsia in an aggravated
form, and his first move after leaving
office will be in the direction of recupera
tion. lie will probably go to Fortress
Monroe within a tortnight and stay there
until the end of the winter; the summer
he expects to spend at some watering
place. Should his health be restored by
autumn, he will come back to his house
m Lexington avenue and resume the
practice of the law with his old partners.
He will be obliged to work for a living, as
he has but $75,000 and he cannot live on
the interest of that after having practi
cally hail as much as his annual income.
The President's mental worry is due to
the thousand and one claims upon him
made by politicians from all parts of the
country who have called upon him to
provide for them while he has the power.
Although retiring from office, he has ap
parently been as much beset as the in
coming President.
Speaking of Cleveland's inauguration.
Edmund Wetmore, a prominent Republi
can lawyer here, was asked to purchase
tickets to the inauguration ball by one of
the committee who knew he was to be in
Washington next week on legal business.
“1 never heard of such audacity in my
life,” said Mr. Wetmore. ‘Djn’t you
know that I am an anti-civil service re
form ilycd-in-the-wool Blaine Republi
can?” ”Y'es,” was the reply, “but the
Blaine men are our best cu? tomers so far.
They have money to spend, anil want to
seem as if they didn’t care.”
ANEW YORKER WRITES FROM LONDON:
“I strayed into a promenade concert
some time ago at Her Majesty’s Theatre,
Hay marked-admission one shilling. The
last auii i’fl'l Uaw 1 eye; yuitsd it Kftrc,
was when l was a boy, in full dress, seats
costing anywhere up to five guineas.
Present on the occasion: The Queen.
Prince Albert, the Emperor Nicholas of
Russia, and the King of Saxony in one
box: opposite, the old Duke of Welling
ton i the iron Duke), Sir Robert Peel, the
old fluke of Cambridge, etc. Performing
in the opera were Lablanehe Grisi and
Mario, and in the ballet Cerito and
Fanny Ellaler. Think of what a galaxy.
Now "all of these are dead, except the
Queen, while the theatre itself is sadly
changed. The other night, in the box
where sat the Queen, hobuobbing with
the great Nicholas, was a.lotol the lowest
demimonde, leaning over with dreadful
manifestations to attract a scurvy gang
ot ruffians, in billy-cock hats, who were
crowding aud jostling over the space
which had been then occupied by the
stalls, and where I had been pleased to
appear in full dress, and gaze like a gobe
mouche at royalty and at the divine Cerito.
The space occupied by the stage from
which those prodigies delighted the audi
ence was now floored over to make room
for a bar crowded to suffocation. Sic
transit gloria mundiP’
The same letter says that Prince Bat
tenberg, whom the Princess Beatrice is to
marry, is illegitimate, a fact which I
havn’t seen mentioned elsewhere. D.
THE WHITE HOUSE.
The Executive Mansion Not to be
44 Turned Over” in Fact.
Washington, Feb. 26.— I There is a pre
vailing impression that the transfer of
the White House and its contents upon
the change of administration is accom
panied by a ceremony, particularly with
regard to transferring the responsibility
for the contents of the building, which
belong to the government. Such is not
the case, however. At the conclusion of
the inaugural ceremonies at the capitol,
it is the custom for the new and retiring
Presidents to be driven to the White
House in advance of the procession.
There they partake of a hasty luncheon
which has been prepared by direction ot
the retiring President, as a last act of
courtesy to his successor. They then pro
ceed to the grand stand erected in front
of the White House and review
the procession, which will have
arrived by that time. The new
President remains in possession, and his
predecessor and members of his family
remove elsewhere. With regard toplacing
the responsibility lor the contents of the
Executive Mansion nothing is done. Not
even anew inventory of the contents is
made. The steward of the White House
is a bonded official of the government,
and is the responsible person. It is taken
for granted that anew President will not
make an immediate change in this office,
having other matters of more importance
to occupy his attention. When there is a
change in stewards then an inventory is
made of the contents of the building and
the responsibility for them is transferred
from one to the other. It is understood
that the customary programme will be
carried out at the approaching inaugura
tion. Mr. Arthur will take up his resi
dence with the Secretary of State tem
porarily.
THE VENEZUELAN AWARDS.
A Scheme to Let. the Present Adminis
tration Distribute $250,000.
Washington, Feb. 27.—The closing
| days of Congress will mark the death of
; many measures 011 which hopes have been
j built high, but they will also afford the
| opportunity, always seized by adroit
i manipulators, to smuggle through ques
: tionable schemes that could not pass it
i time were afforded lor scrutiny or ques
tion. Attempts have been made in many
directions this winter to negative the ac
tion of the last Congress, which recom
mended the appointment of anew com
mission for the adjudication of the fraudu
lent Venezuelan awards. So far these
efforts have been fruitless. The present
House Committee on Foreign Affairs
renewed the recommendation tor anew
commission, but the Senate committee
proposed that a quarter of a million
dollars already paid by Venezuela on
account of these fraudulent claims and
now on deposit shall be distributed by
the administration without further in
quiry.
It is remarked as a somewhat singular
circumstance that so late as the present
week a minority report has made its ap
pearance in the House, resembling very
much the proposition of the Senate com
mittee. This is to be held in readiness
for any emergency or opportunity, should
its substitution for the majority report be
obtainable. The shrewd argument used
with Republicans by the friends oi this
scheme is that the distribution of a quar
ter of a million dollars should not be
allowed to go over to a Democratic ad
ministration.
ENCOUNTER WITH A LION.
Desperate Struggle of Some Algerian
Farmer*.
Avery dramatic narrative of an en
counter with a lion is published by an
Algerian paper. It appears that for
months past farmers residing near a
forest in the African colony have been
victimized by the lion, which carried off
their cattle, and especially evinced a
partiality for their sheen. Exasperated
by the gaps made in their small flocks, it
w'as determined to make xvar on the depre
dator, and seventeen settlers, with live or
six Arabs, set out on what proved a verv
perilous adventure. They took tip their
position in parties of four and five,"at cer
tain spots iu the forest which it was con
jectured the animal would pa9s, and
towards nightfall the enemy was
seen comiug leisurely aloug by
one of these parties, number
ing five men. Alter consulting together
it was decided that they should fire sim
ultaneously, and at a given signal they
did so, the lion being seen to fall, utter
ing a tremendous roar ol pain. He was
not dead, however, as the men too quickly j
imagined, and w'hen they approached the |
auimal he rose to his feet, crushed one of ;
bis assailants with a blow of his potver- ■
fill paw, and seizing the head of his vie- i
tim, smashed it at a bite. Turning from j
the mangled remains, the brute next at
tacked another man, biting oft' his arm 1
and otherwise injuring him. Two other I
members ol the party were also grievous- '
ly torn and bitten by the enraged animal,
and might have lost their lives in the ter
rible encounter bad not their uninjured
comrade levelled his gun at the lion’s ear
and been lucky enough to stretch him on
the ground dead.
