"There's more, whisky on the west coast than in Victoria," remarked Frank Adams, who has just returned to Vic toria, 15. C, from that section. "The Indians, are all drunk, and the sealerH have a hard time in getting a crew. Whisky is being smuggled in by the wholesale, and the red men are having a liigh old time. The whisky is coining from the American Hide. I never saw so much drunkenness on that coast. There doen not seem to bo any government control there at all." While in the railroad yard at King man, A.

FROM WASHINGTON CITY. AshImIhiiI NcrrHury Npuiildlnir W rllcn a liHIcr lo llie ColliM'toi'H on I lie hicilk Const. Secretary Hoke Smith gave a hearing In the representatives of tin1 Dig llliick fiMit Mining Company ami the liitter Pool Development Company on the ipiestion of the revocation of their per mits, grunted some mouths ago, to cut ho per cent, of the timber on twenty-six sections of IuikI in Montana. Secretary Morion of the Department of Agriculture has devised a plan to test the lit in hx of applicants fur portions not governed by I fie civil-service rules, Km h applicant on tiling his application will U' riipiired lo answer a set of pies lions as to moral and phvsical ijuali lit u tions and on the work which he w ill If required to perform. He hopen by this means lo secure a high standard in the department. A Itcpuhlicaii Senator, who stands high in the party councils, says the pro- Nisei I Senatorial investigations of a pri witc character ami the reorganization schemes will come to nothing this' ses sion. They cannot be considered w hile the contested seats are under considera tion, and w hell that subject is disMised of the Senate will probably adjourn, as the ((lloruin would otherwise disappear within two days uflcr the President no tilied the Senate he has no further busi ness to present lo it. Secretaries! iresham andCarlisle w hile liMiking into the expenditures of the llehring Sea ( 'oiiiini-sion reached some allowances which were extravagant and should be discontinued. It appears that everybody connected w ith the commis sion! from the stenographer down, have been given very liberal allowances, which the ollicials of this adiniiiisl rat ion in clude under the head of " useless extrav agance." There are, it is said, eight or ten ollicials connected with the commis sion w ho are receiving more than double i my by drawing ii to $15 per day in ad dition' to regular salaries, which range from $1,500 to $:j,5no per annum. Ru mors of these exposures have made piite a stir in the department, and some interesting developments are expected. The Senate Committee on Foreign lie lations held a meeting the other morn ing. It is understood that, while favor able to making public the text of the liussian treatv.it was unable to agree upon a favoralile report by reason of dis agreements relative to the correspond ence accompanying the convention, A well-known Senator, w ho is the cham pion of general humanitarian legisla tion, states that, when published, the treaty will be found neither more nor less 'objectionable than several other treaties which have been in operation for some years. The criticisms, he says, are due lo a conception of the cllect of the instrument upon the garbled ex tracts of a surreptitious publication of the treaty first sent to the Senate. Assistant Secretary Snaulding has written the following letter to Collectors on the Pacific Coast : " Thedepartmelit is informed that the practice obtains among Chinese laborers in this coiintrv of entrusting money to merchants, which is treated as a part of the capital in the business. Chinese laborers who have made such a disposition of their savings, although not actually engaged in busi ness, have claimed to U merchants, and say they are thereby entitled to leave the country and return at pleasure, The de partment desires you to closely scrutin ize the certilicates which may be pre sented at your port by returning Chinese and to require evidence of the standing of the holders as Isma-lidc merchants, actively engaged in business. In no case should' Chinese be permitted to enter as merchants unless their right to the priv ilege is clearly established, and w here it appears the practice herein referred to is at Ic miitcd the certilicates presented should be ignored, the holders arrested and the facts reported to the depart ment." ' The question .of sheathing our naval vessels is one to which Secretary Herbert, it is said, proposes to give some earnest consideration. Naval Constructor Hich- j born has nreiiared some important data I on t lie subject. He shows that the At 1 lanta on her trial trip with a clean Isit tom attained a speed of 15.5 knots an hour with a ;t,,'M5-horse power, while the Doston, her exact duplicate, with a comparatively foul bottom made but lit.8 knots on' :i,:!i0-horse power. Constructor llichborn holds that the im iportanceof the preservation of the bot ' torn of steel vessels from corrosion and fouling can hardly Ik1 overestimated and is continually emphasized by the reports of loss of speed and increased coal con sumption received from our new un sheathed steel vessels now in commis sion. Unless our cruisers are to be con lined to cruises of short duration in the neighborhood of our own ports, it would appear that they are deficient in the most important quality the ability to maintain high speed at sea for long pe riods. The additional expense incurred in putting on the sheathing of wood and J copper is in reality a great saving dur : ing the lifetime of a ship, as it obviates the necessity of frequent docking and ' the largely increased coal bills when the the metal bottom is foul. For a vessel like, the Chicago the cost would be be tween 500 and $400 for docking alone. To this sum must be added about $1,000 for scraping and painting. In Ureat l?ritain competition has brought the charges for private docks down to a min imum, but the docks in India, China, Australia ami on the Pacific. Coast are very expensive. Captain llichborn rec ommends that all cruising vessels in tended for general sen-ice in foreign wa ters be sheathed if above 1,000 tons dis placement, and that vessels of less than 1,000 tons displacement intended for gen eral service as cruising gunboats, etc., be of a composite construction, with steel framing w ood outside, planking and cop per sheathing.

A WHOLESALE POET. Til Aitonlahlng F.wrlence of JamM Wliltcomlt It-j. While th Nye-Riley combination wiu on the roof lu.it winter a little Incident hap pened at Kalamazoo, Mich., which hat never been given to the public. Thrir entertain ment waa over for the night, and a large and pleaded audience had dinperwd. Nye had been taken In band by the town lecture com mittee and towed off up to Uncle Aw Butter fleld'i boiue to hear Uncle Am tell his famous ttory about hit red cow and Dunk Brown's bired man, the occurrence having actually taken place In 13.'9. Uncle Asa waa a local bumorixt of Rreiit renown; be had been unable to attend the lecture on account of rbeumatfim, but had promised to sit up till the committee brought Nye around. The red cow story was his maiterplece, and he was anxious that Nye should hear it, as be thought that very likely he might want to Introduce it into bis lecture. Kiley had scaped by feigning sickness as soon as the That was proposed, and before Nye could era ploy the same excuse, and was sitting in the hotel office at aliout 1 1 o'clock congratulating himself and chuckly quietly. He was think ing of various facetious remarks which he would make to Nye, should he survive the operation he was undergoing, about Uncle Ana, the red cow, the hired man. and so forth, when a man hurriedly entered who attracted his attention at once. The man was tall and angular with long gray hair and hollow eyes, and he had a trick of thrusting his bead for ward and pointing with a long bony finger. He glance J around at the group of hotel guests sitting about and walked directly to Riley. " if oa are Riley, James W"hiteomb Riley," he said, as he pointed a long filler at hira. The poet blushed slightly and modestly ad mitted the fact. "Yes, yes," went on the man; '! know you, though I never saw you be'ore. We never met, but we've had good deal of business with each other." "Well, perhaps," replied Riley, "but I don't exactly understand what you refer to." "Hal I'll tell you. My name is Thomas H. Stockwelf," and be looked at Riley tri umphantly. "Er-well, I can't Just place you Pm afraid," answered Riley. "You can't! Why, Tra the man that has written all your poetry for youl" The poet looked at the hollow eyed visitor speechless. "Yes. sir, gentlemen," went m the intru der, swinging his long, tv::y iiandso as to include the little group, "1 am the man who has written all of James Whitcomb Riley's poems for him. When be has wanted a new one be has always written to me and 1 have sent it to him and got my pay for it, and that has been all there is about ft You know it, Mr. Riley, as well as 1 da But I'm sick and tired of it. Hereafter, sir, the world shall know Thomas H. S.ockwell as be is; the fame of James Whitcomb Riley w,ll hereafter rest on the brow of Thomas Hos tetter Stock well The time has come for me to declare myself and claim my own!" The unknown poet who had blushed on seen all these years drew himself up proudly and laid his hand on bis heart. Riley had been gradually getting over his astonishment and now found bis voice. "Perhaps, Mr. Mtockwell," he said, "you may have some of your poems with you such as you have been furnishing me, and can favor us with a short reading." "Certainly," replied the long haired Indi riduai promptly, as be pulled a handful of crumpled manuscript out of his breast pocket; "certainly, nothing would give me greater pleasure. I have here among others one entitled 'The Old Barnyard,' with which I intended filling your next order. I will read one verse: When you go out Id our barnyard a-kind 'o wan na round Amongst the bens and sheep, and the hogs a-rootio' in the ground, and git ffcg'rin' on the colts and how much they'll prob'bly bring When they're broke to drive In harness later in the spring, Aige off from the sheep with horns 'less yon want to see some stars Cause he's predjerdiced and U'ble to bunt you through the bars. But what you want to railly "void tint airy pig er sheep er hoss. But the cow 'at's got the spotted calf When She Looks Cross! "You will excuse me, gentlemen, for giv ing you but one verse, as 1 want you to at tend the reading I shall give in the hall to morrow night. Admission only 50 cents. I have one other here, entitled, 'When Bill Turns Jack,' port of which I will recite: When the stock is in the stable and ever'thing's been fed. And all them kind 'o chores done up and the wood th rowed in the shed, rm mighty apt to slip acrost to Bill's to have some fun. And most gen'ly we play eucher till the clock strikes one; I've alius handled pasteboards In a easy sort o' way. But when It comes to Bill, Ise got Jes' this 'ere much to say: Tou may pile up p'ints agin him V hold the best keerds in the pack. But you've got to play 'em awful close When Bill Turns Jack! "That is all I will give you to-night, gen tlemen, but it is enough to show you who has been writing Mr. Riley's poems. My reading to-morrow evening will be most entertaining, and as 1 wrote all of Mr. Longfellow's poems, and am constantly shipping poems to Mr. Lowell, you can see that it will be varied as well. Lately 1 have been encroaching on the English market, sending a number of con signments to Mr. Browning, and yesterday filling a trial order for Baron Tennyson. This is all done away with, however, and Thomas 1L Stocltwell reveals bis true self to the world. Do not forget my entertainment to-morrow" "Tom," said a man, as he entered and touched the poet on the shoulder, "come on it is long past time that you were in, and I have been looking everywhere for you, I hope be hasn't disturbed you, gentlemen," he continued, us he started toward the door, fol lowed by the other; "he is perfectly harm less, so we allow lu'na about the asylum grounds, but we didn't think he would wan der away. He is the same man who used to think the world would cease to revolve around the sun if he didn t wear a green rib bon on his bat, but he has given up that and taken to poetry." Nye came iu a moment later very much exhausted by Uncle Asa's cow and hired man story, but be had to help Kiley up to bad,-
