From the Washington Tost
Information baa reached Washington,
through a report to Acting Secretary of

sor Palmer, who is the assistant ornithol
ogist of tbo agricultural department, and
has been surveying the south valley re
gion under his direction, until his recent
terrible experience, when he walked forty
miles through the burning sand of the
desert valtey, being for two days without
water. \
On the loth of March Professor C. If.
Mcrriam, the chief ornithologist ot the
department, left here to join the explor
ing party, which %vae. after his arrival,
to divide into tw o parties, otto under him
nnd the other under Professor Palmer.
He had directed Professor Palmer to
meet him at Daggett, tho nearest supply
statian, on the banta Fe rahroad, and it
was on hi* way there that Professor
1’nlmtr nearly lost his life.
In !>U report to the department Pro*

I laggett on March 3& Professor Palmer
did not reach there till several days later,
lie had stnrted ucross Death Valley to
Daggett,according toarrangementi, trav

broken away, leaving him in tho midst
of die desert with nothing to depend on
but his legs and the supply of food and
watnr in tba varan, which, of course, he
could not take "with him. He tracked
the horses for forty miles through tho
desert to a spring, to wiri h the horses’
instinct had guided them.
Hut before Professor Palmer reached
tho spring tho horns had gone away,
and fie could not fellow them fui’tbrr,

BROAD THEME FOR HIS
BUFFALO ADDRESS.
Tlie Ex-President Sliowa Up Reed's
Con ere**—A Grand Ovation Prom
tho Democracy of Ituflalo—A
Public Reception,
BurFALO, N. Y., May 12.—Tho Cove-
land Democracy, Buffalo's feremoatpolit
ical organization, hating a membership
of upward of 1,700, opened its spacious,
elegant and conveniently appointed new
clubhouse on Washington street this
evening with ex-Preaident Cleveland as
tho gueat and speaker of the occasion.
The house we* crowded nnd tho acene
was a very brilliant ono.
At 7:80 o'clock Cleveland was escorted
from Hote^ Iroquois, closo to the clnb
thereafter began in tho nssembTy room,
which occupies the greater portion of
the urp?r story. It was crowded almost
to suffocation with club members, as were
also the adjoining rooms and the broad
stairway.
Cleveland wai greeted with the wildest
cheering, long continued and often re
peated.
The president of tho club, Herbort P.
Bissoll, delivered an nddross upon the
purposes and growth of the organization
and in welcome to its distinguished patron
and guest.
sir. Cleveland’s speech.
Cleveland, who appeared in splendid
health nnd spirits, replied with a speech,
which waa delivered with great earaest-
rese and which waa received most en
thusiastically, every point U>ng recog
nized w ith Mpplausu and cheer*.
He spoke ua follows:
Mr. President and Gentlemen: As I
•t*ml for tho first time face to face with
the Cleveland Democracy, 1 experience
mingled emotions of responsibility and
pride. My conae of responsibility arises
from my ralation to your organization as
its godfather, and my pride from the
noble manner in which you have borne
my name. I acknowledge your right to
require of mo at this time an account of
the manner in which I have kept the
political faith to which you are duvoted.
This right grows out of the fact that tbo
word “Democracy,” as it stands in tho
name of your organization, means ao
much and is so worthy of your cars, that
its significance should not be in the least
clouded by any prefix which is qot in
koepiog with Democratic aims and pur
poses.
In giving an account of my political
behavior I can only offer a record of po
litical conduct familiar to all my country
men and supplement this record by tlie
declaration that I have done tho best I
could to deserve the confidence in me
which you havo so gracefully mani
fested. For the character of ths record
thus presented you youraelvos ore nn
ewerablo with me—for it has bscn made
under the influence and encouragement
Oi VuS Esnliu.c-uU and doctrines which
the Cleveland Democracy have cultivated
and enforced. When wo started together
in political life and responsibility, your
accepted creed taught that politics was
something more than adroit jugglorv;
that there was still such a thing as offi
cial duty and that it meant obligation tq
the people: that the principles of otlr
government were worthy of contcler/fous
greatest of all dangers to our guarantees
of justice and equity. We noed not un
learn this Jesson to apprehend the fact
that behind nuch exaction an I as its
source of exiiu-nco, is feund public ex
travagance. The axe will not lie laid at
the root of the unwholesome tariff tree
with its vi-uous Inequality nnd injustice
until we reach and destroy its parent and
•Upper t.
But the growth of public extravagance
In these latter days, und its unconcealed
and dreadful manifestations, force u$ to
tbe contemplation of other crimes, of
which it is undoubtedly guilty,
beside* unjust exactions from the people.
Our government is to ordained that its
life blood flows from the virtue and patri
otism of our people, and its health and
strength depend upon the integrity and
fuithiulne** of their public servant* If
thee? nro destroyed, our govarnnirnt if it
cudu;**., \» ill tiiiluro only in name, fail
ing to Mo** thoso for whom it was cre
ate J und tailing in its mission os an ex-
an>t>ln 11 miiiilnnd.
Pul* ic extra viigance in its relation to
irnqim bio tariff laws not only lays an
unjiu t.,l>u> upon tho people, but is
rt ■pau^t h for unfair advantages be-
•tutveu u.joc special and favored interests
«a tli* price of partisan support. Thus
tut- exi rcise ot the popular will for the
benefit ot the country at largo is rsplaced
l>y fordid and stilish motives directed to
{iersoi-:;l advantage, while ths eneour-
aueixu-nt of such motive* in public place
for party ends, deadens the official con
science.
Public extravagance directly distrib
utes gifts and gratuities among the
people, whore tolerati n of waste is thus
tecurednr whoso past party a.*rvices are
thus compensated, or who are tints bribed
to future party support. Thu makes the
contiauancu of partisan power a stronger
motive utuotig public servants than trio
faithful di-charge of tlie people's trust
and boss tbs seeds ot contagious cor
ruption iu ths body politic.
But to my mind thu saddest and most
frightful result of public extravagance
is seen in the readiness of the masses of
people, who are not dishonest, but
only heedless, to accustom themselves to
that dire lection iu public places which it
involve* Kvidenre is thus furnished
that our countrymen are in danger of
losing tho scrupulous insistence upon ths
faithful discharge of duty on tbs jlnrt of
tbeir public servants, tho rsgard (or
economy ami frugality which b*longs to
sturdy Aim-iu-uniaui, tlie independence
which relit* upon personal endeavor and
ths love of an honest urn) well regulated
government, all of which lie at the
foundation of our free institutions.
Havo I overstated the evils and dangers
with winch the tremendous growth of
publio extravagance throatens ua? Every
man who love* his country well enough
to pause and think of these things must
know that 1 have not.
Let us, then, aa we push on in our cam
paign of education, especially impress
upon our countrymen the lesson which
teaches that public extravagance is a
deadly, dangerous thing, that frugality
add economy art honorable, that tho vir
tue and watchfulness of the people aro

tbe grace which paid tribute to him ho
might have imagined himself at least ten
years younger. Ho would have realized,
too, that tho Wesleyau girls honored him
not so much for his splendid gift as for
tho nftble generosity which prompted
the giver, and thon he would have felt
that it was tho best Investment or his
life.
All day yesterday the fair maids of
Wesleyan wore absorbed in the details of
the coming celebration. All other work
was laid aside, and the holiday was ob

Dr. U. II. Cary, the tish commissioner
for Georgia, was in Macon yesterday In.

with shad.
Commissioner Cary was reen by tho

that it has bceu unusually small; not on ^ J x , ,
account of tbe scarcity of the fish, but
because there was a continued season of
high water.
“I find that, ns a rule, tho fishermen
have been using dip pet* and traps for
catching shad. They would do much
better lo use gill nets, which is a very
effective method.
The Connecticut river shad,” said tho
commissioner, “is different from tho
ordinary kind. It will bite at a hook.
Homo years nzo 1 made on interesting
experiment with this shad. 1 had some
of the newly hatched ones brought to
Georgia, and turned them loose in the
Chattahoocheo river, Threo years after
ward some of them were caught with a
hook just below Columbus, showing that
they had remained true to their in
stinct”
le shad tbo best variety of fish for
stocking Georgia waters?”
“Decidedly. Of course you know that
the shad ia a salt-water fish and only
come* up into tho rivers to spawn. It does
not get its living from the fresh water
aud therefore is apt to bo pretty poor
when it goes back to the sea.
“When the baby aliad, put longer than
a humming bird's feather, is turned into
tbo river, it makes its way to tho salt
water a« soon as pouible. There, in its
native element, it lives and attains its
growth in three year*, unless it Is gob
bled up by on* of its numerous enemies,
and it then ascends ‘ the rivers in the
spring to lay its eggs.”
THE VALUE OF STOCKING.
“How long haa the government been
engaged in stocking the waters of Geor
gla with fish'.”
“Only about fifteen years. Previous to
that there were no white shad to be
found in any of the rivers emptying into
the Gulf of Mexicu There was consider
able popular prejudice against the work
of the fish commission at that time, too,
Tbe people considered t'e idea of arti
ficially stocking the rivers with fish as
•imply ridiculous. Hlnce the passage of
the act creating the Georgia flan commis
sion, however, the rivers of the state con
tain 500 per cent, more fish than they did
then, and millions of the tiny creatures
are turned into the rivers each year.”
Dr. Cary, In 1875, while a member ot
the Georgia State Agricultural Society,
offered a resolution bearing on this mat
ter, and in the following year the fish
commission bill waa passed by the Geor
gia legislature. It was natural and
proper that tho father of the bill should
t>e made tills commissioner under its
provisions, and ho has held the offlco
over since.
