REGULAR PROCEEDINGS.
Teller Makes Inquiries Regarding tne
Anti-Trust Amendment.
Washington, July 1 The tariff bill
was taken up promptly in the senate to
day. Teller made inquiries as to re
ports that an anti-trust amendment
would be brought op. This was a most
important matter, he said, and tbere
should be ample time for consideration.
Allison said he did not know what dis
posal was to be made of the subject, as
no action bad been taken by the finance
committee. Teller said it hatt been re
ported about the chamber that such an
amendment had been considered in
caucus. He urged that it should not be
brought in at the last moment, "as it
will not be done ;" he added with posi
tiveness. Allen gave assurance that no
such hasty action woald be taken.
White remarked he thought the anti
trust subject had been dropped.
"The trouble with Senator White and
myself," answered Teller, "is that we
are not members of the Republican cau
cus, and therefore are somewhat in the
dark." '
STOWE HOMESTEAD TO BE SOLD
Daughters of tne Late Authoress Must
Move Out.
Habtfobd, Conn., July 1. The mea
gerness of the estate left by Harriet
Beecher Stowe is soon to be apparent.
Her twin daughters, who made a home
for her on Forest street in this city for
so many years, are in danger of be
ing deprived of the old home, now his
toric. When Mrs. Stowe made her will some
years ago, she thought she would leave
property enough to provide amply for
her daughters and also for her son. By
a codicial she bequeathed her Forest
street house to her daughters, but failed
to put her signature to that portion of
the will. When the estate came to be
invoiced it was found that there was not
enough in the daughters' share to sup
port them comfortably or enable them
to keep the old home for many years.
It is now learned that their brother has
notified that he is about to. Bell the
house.
It has been suggested that the money
which was to be raised for a statute of
Mrs. Stowe be devoted to the purchase
of the bouse for the daughters.
Fuslonlsts Sold the Populist Tote.
Atlanta, Ga., July 1. Thomas E.
Watson in a signed editorial in today's
issue of the People's Party paper,
charges that the fusionists have entered
into a compact to deliver the Populist
vote to the Democrats in November for
$1500, recently contributed to the Popu
list fund by Bryan out of the proceeds
of book sales as the first installment of
purchase money. His editorial con

his money in his pocket. He has made
a mistake, just as be made a mistake
when he joyously rushed a telegram of
congratulation to McKinley. How such
a devoted champion of the people could
find in his heart to rejoice at the elec
tion of a representative of the gold-bugs
and corporations, we have not yet been
able to comprehend.
"Bat having thrown out these few re
marks, we recur to our question, why
have the fusion Populists taken Bryan's
money if tbey are not under obligation
to deliver him the Populist vote in

A California Elopement.
Los Angeles, July 1. Mrs. John
Bradbury, wife of the well-known young
millionaire, and H. Russell Ward, a
young Englishman, have eloped. It is
believed they left this city on the north
bound train last night, and it is said that
their destination is Australia.
The elopement is the sequel of a com
promising escapade of the couple at
Santa Monica several days ago, which
shocked the four hundred and set the
gossiping tongues a-wagging. Ward has
abandoned his wife and two children,
who are touring Europe for pleasure.

Terrible Suicide of Three Men.
St. Louis, Jaly 1. Just west of
Wellsville, there is a coal chute belong
ing to the Wabash line. As passenger
train No. 6 was dashing through this
chute. Engineer Robinson saw three
men lying with their heads upon the
rail. He tried to stop his engine, but
the distance was too short, and in an
instant the men were ground beneath
the wheels. A close examination of the
bodies revealed the fact that the men
must have been perfectly sober when
they took their places beside the track.
Indians Drank Painkiller.
Braineed, Minn., July 1. Fiye In
dians, including uniet wee bug, are
dead at Malone's Point, on Mille Lacs
lake, and several others are expected to

themselves with this stuff, which was
bought from Malone's trading post

FOREST RESERVE REGULATIONS.
New Rules Drafted by Land Commis
sioner Hermann.
Washington, July 1. Much atten
tion has been paid recently by the gen
eral land office to the preparation of
rules and regulations applicable to the
goyernment of the varions forest re
serves, and Commissioner Hermann has
now formulated these for the approval
of the secretarv of the interior.
Prospecting, locating and developing
mineral resources and forest reserve are
permilt'-d. Lands for school houses and
churches are provided and water for do
mestic, mining, milling and irrigation
purposes are also allowed. Construc
tion of wagon roads is authorized and
the right of way across reserves for irri
gating canals, ditches, flumes and reser
voirs is permitted.
Mineral lands of the forest reserves
are subject to location and entry under
mining laws in the usual manner.
Makers of mining locations are author
ized to fell and remove from their min
ing claims any timber growing thereon,
for actual mining purposes upon their
particular claim. Free use of timber is
allowed to bona fide settlers, miners, re
sidents and prospectors for minerals, for
firewood, fencing, buildings, etc-
Judge Cooler's Case Hopeless.
Detroit, July 1. A dispatch from
Ann Arbor to the news says that Judge

been followed by deep melancholy.
THE STORY OF THE SALMON.
Bald to Deposit Its Eggs In Its Native
River.
In the autumn time, and onward to
the beginning- of the next year, the
mother salmon, ascends the rivers to de
posit her eggs, and thus to secure the
continuance of her race. In connection
with this periodical visit or visits to the
river must be mentioned, says Cham
ber's Journal, a very curious fact. The
idea is entertained very strongly by
some authorities that a salmon invari
ably returns to its native river or that
in which it is bred. It has even been as
serted by fishermen that, when several
rivers enter the sea in one stream (as
at Bonar bridge, for example), the sal
mon bred in tach, river will pass back
into their own water and will avoid the
strange streams. The late Frank Buck
land, a strong believer in this instinctof
the fish, regarded the sense of smell as
that which led it to its'native river. Per
haps the truth is that for the most part
salmon do return to their own river, but
the practice and habit are not necessari
ly invariable. We know the fishes cer
tainly swim great distances along coast
lines where they are captured in stake
and bag nets, and it may well be the
case that now and then a fish will turn
into a river that is near, in preference to
seeking its own and distant water.
Arrived in her river, the mother sal
mon begins to scoop out a kind of trench
in the gravel of the stream. This she ef
fects by plowing into the gravel with
her body. This trench is to be the
nursery of her younsr. The ecrers are laid
in the furrow, and are duly f ertUized" by
the male salmon. Then the trench is
filled in by the efforts of both parents,
the eggs are covered with gravel, and
the mound thus formed is called, in ush
er s language, a "read. now many
eggs a mother salmon will deposit is, of
course, a difficult question to determine,
but a stock calculation maintains that
she produces about 900 eggs for every
pound she weighs. Each egg in its di
ameter measures about a quarter of an
inch, and it is estimated that 25,000 eggs
go to a gallon.
Royalty at tne Camera.
When, the princess of Wales visits the
photographer she usually arranges
that her sitting shall take place in the
morning. A special studio is set apart
for the princess and other members of
the royal family. It is approached by
a private door, which leads to an ante
room provided, with easy chairs and a
plentiful supply of illustrated papers.
A small chamber is fitted up as a dressing-room,
and here is to be found a
maid from Marlborough house, who has
preceded her royal mistress with a
dressing case containing blushes and
other toilet accessories. The princess
having discussed the position in which
she is to be taken, arranges herself, and
the operation, proceeds. It is etiquette
on these occasions for the photographer
to address any remarks he may have
to- make to the lady-in-waiting in at
tendance, who in turn addresses the
princess, who replies throuh her also;
but it is needless to say that etiquette is
dispensed with by the princess in many
cases. Cincinnati Enquirer.
