The Rat Fish of the Pacific.

The other day a boat came in out of the morning mist after a night with the drift nets, far out in the broad bay, and landed on the rude wharf at Capitola, with its glittering load of salmon, a thing that puzzled even the old residents by the shore. Some of them called it a squirrel fish, and others a ratfish. The thing had a tail like a goose feather, a soft, pulpy nose, a horn in its forehead with a spiked point and a socket into which to drop it when not in use; a pair of organs, half hands, half feet, below its ventral fins, and a mouth like a shark’s, with close-fitting teeth of serrated cartilage. It was close to two feet long, and its ugly body shone when fresh from the water with hues ranging from pearly white to a deep lustrous green, while its great, staring eyes seemed like two perfect emeralds. The academy’s ichthyologist didn t think this fish much of a curio, remarking that it had been discovered long enough ago for Linnaeus to classify it. It is, as the fisherman said, a rat fish. That is the popular name. —San Francisco Chronicle.

BLOUNT'S STORY TOLD

GRESHAM GIVES OUT THE REPORT ON HAWAII. The Special Commissioner Insists that the Provisional Government Owes Its Existence to Ex-Minister Stevens and American Troops Framing a Silver BUI. Accuses Stevens. Washington dispatch: Secretary Gresham decided this afternoon to make public all the correspondence and the report of James H. Blount, the speeial commissioner sent to Hawaii by President Cleveland to investigate the revolution which dethroned Queen Liliuokalani and the establishment of the provisional government. Mr. Blount arrived at Honolulu March 29, 1893. The report is of great lonth, includes the testimony of a number of persons, and casts all the responsibility for the revolution on Minister Stevens. It contains nothing of importance not printed in the Gresham letter to the President. In substance it holds that—

Minister Stevens landed the troops from the Boston long before there was any valid excuse for their presence ou Hawaiian soil: that he declined to remove them when requested to do so by the Government, and was informed that the authorities were willing and fully able to preserve order and protect American interests: that these troons were stationed across tho street from the Government Building in which Minister Stevens knew the revolutionists were about to read their proclamation, and that the revolutionists’ committee relied upon the American troops to protect them in this act of rebellion: that Minister Stevens recognized the Provisional Government according to a preconceived program before that Government had obtained possession of the departments and military power at Honolulu, and that the military power surrendered, as the Queen surrendered, only through awe,of the superior force of the United States. In the report Commissioner Blount says: The fact that Minister Stevens recognized the new government before it was in possession of the station-house and before the abdication of the Queen, this recognition being used as a weapon with which to intimidate the Queen, is established by an affidavit of Charles L. Hopkins, who carried a letter from Antono Rosa to Minister Stevens at 2:45 p. m. January 17. In ten minntes a reply from Minister Stevens was handed him addressed to Samuel Parker, minister of foreign affairs. In this letter Minister Stevens recognized the provisional government as the de facto government of the Hawaiian Islands. This is confirmed by Minister Stevens himself, as will be shown by extracts from the record of the United States legation.

STEVENS WILL STRIKE BACK. The Ex-Minister Threatens to Expose the Conduct of Mr. Blount. Augusta, Me., dispatch: A reporter of the Kennebec Journal called, on exMinister to Hawaii John L. Stevens at his home and asked him if he had anything to say regarding Commissioner Blount’s statement. Mr. Stevens said that he firmly adhered to all of his'previous statements in his San Francisco and Augusta addresses to the country and in his open letter of last week to Secretary Gresham. He expressed great surprise at the language of Mr. Blount as to Mr. Stevens’ unwillingness to show him the records of the legation. Mr. Stevens says that he feels himself at liberty to expose Mr. Blount’s remarkable conduct toward himself, commencing immediately after Mr. Blount’s arrival at Honolulu. It is a record, Mr. Stevens says, the publication of which will astonish all honorable minds, bringing to Mr. Stevens no censure, unless it be that he tolerated such insulting treatment without at once resenting it by refusing all intercourse with the offending person. SEVERANCE DEFENDS STEVENS. The Ex-Consul General Says Blount's Biport Is Unqualifiedly False. H. W. Severance, lata United States Consul general at Hawaii, who arrived by the Australia, was asked what he thought of the report of Commissioner Blount. “In the main,” said Mr. Severance, “the report as published seemed to be entirely misleading in regard to the events of January last, which resulted in the overthrow of the Queen and the establishment of the provisional government. It was not the result of a conspiracy on the part of a few men, but a genuine revolution. There is no just ground for the charge that Minister Stevens conspired* with the organizers of the provisional government. His actions, under the circumstances, were entirely regular and in accordance with diplomatic custom. The statement that the landing of the troops from the Boston was inexcusable and unnecessary is unqualifiedly false. Blount’s own l’eport shows that there were reasons to expect a disturbance and bloodshed, endangering the lives and property of peaceful Americans. The occasion certainly warranted the landing of the troops for the protection of American interests. I am satisfied that everything had been surrendered to the provisional government before it was recognized by Minister Stevens, though the aim of Blount's report is to make it appear that the contrary was the case.

FRAMING A SILVER BILL.

Co'nage Fight Will Be Reopened When Congress Convenes. Washington dispatch: The free coinage fight will be renewed with increased vigor at the opening of the regular session of Congress. The men who waged such a stubborn warfare for silver in the two houses during the extra session appear to have gathered confidence by the events which have followed the repeal of the silver purchase act, and an organization of their forces is now being perfected. For the past two or three weeks the silver men have been singularly quiet. The reason for this has now become apparent. The silver men were waiting for a sufficient period to elapse after the repeal of the Sherman act in order to demonstrate to the people that the silver purchase law was not the the cause of the great financial depression and that its repeal would not pijeve a panacea for all the commercial evils which have accompanied the times. They think the demonstration of this fact is apparent to the American people now, so the silver men are preparing to say to the two houses of Congress next month that the legislation demanded by the administration has baen a failure in restoring commercial prosperity: that the’position of the silver men in urging free coinage at late session has been vindicated. With this object in view, Chairman Bland, of the committee on coinage, weights and measures, is preparing a bill which he as the leader of free coinage men will introduce at the opening of the session. It is further declared by Mr. Bland to be his intention to afford no loophole of escape for those congressmen who have talked for free coinage to their constituents at home but voted, against it on plausible pre-: texts when the matter come up for consideration in the House. Scores of congressmen, he says, declared themselves devotedly attached to the free coinage cause during the recent session, but explained that they thought the wiser course at that time was to repeal the silver purchase act and then to take up the free coinage question, pure and simple, and consider it at the regular gocGinn.

JERRY RUSK NO MORE

DEATH OF WISCONSIN’S FAMOUS EX-GOVERNOR. Plain, Honest and Unpretending, He Was Popular with All Classes of People—Was Harrison's Secretary of Agriculture— Three Times Governor. End Came Painlessly. r " r ' Ex-Governor Jeremiah Rusk died Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock in his home at Viroqua, Wis. He had been ill for two months, suffering from inflammation of the prestate gland. Dr. John Hamilton, of Chicago, performed an operation on Mr. Rusk some time ago which sos a time promised to be successful. The ex-Governor was possessed of a powerful constitution and rallied after the operation to such an extent that tho * friends and even the physicians hoped for ultimate recovery” As late as the night before his death callers at the residence were told that the patient was improving and favorable reports were sent

JEREMIAH M. RUSK.

throughout the country. Mr. Rusk was exceedingly weak, however, from the effects of morphine and almost constant pain, and when he suffered a relapse during the night it was known that the end must come soon. Sketch of Hig Career. Jeremiah McLain Rusk was born in Morgan County, Ohio, June 17, 1830, and his youth was that of a farmer boy acquiring a common school education. In 1853 he located lands in the then new and distant region of Vernon County, Wisconsin, where he had since resided. He entered the ranks of the ■Wisconsin volunteers in 1802, and was Major and Lieutenant Colonel of the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin, which was a part of General Sherman's command from the siege of Vicksburg-tiil the close of the war, and in 1805 he received from the President the brevet of Brigadier General for gallant and meritorious services. In 1866 he was elected Comptroller of Wisconsin, and continued in that office two terms; and in 1870 he was elected to Congress, where ho remained an active and useful member three terms, in one of which he was Chairman of the House Committee on Pensions. He declined the tender of appointments from President Garfield, and in 1882 was elected Governor of Wisconsin, and re-elected in 1884 and 1886. In the discharge of his duties as Governor, and particularly in the trying days of riots at Milwaukee, he won the Commendation of the country, and with the zealous support of the delegation from his own State, he was prominent as a candidate for the Presidential nominatian at the Republican National Convention of 1888 in Chicago. President Harrison, who was then nominated, gracefully remembered Gov. Rusk by inviting him to a seat in the Cabinet as Secretary of the Department of Agriculture; and this department, which had just been raised to a cabinet dignity, found in him, for four years, an efficient head in organizing and developing its resources and possibilities of usefulness to agricultural interests. One feature of his work in this direction was to introduce the system of microscopical examination of the meats, whereby the foreign market for the American product was enlarged. The Governor retired from office with the Harrison administration, and there was good promise that his public career was not closed.

Regret at Washington. Washinfiton Genuine regret is expressed at the death cf “Uncle” Jerry Rusk. Of all the members of the Harrison administration he was the most popular. He had a kindly soul, and everybody who was anybody liked him. He was a plain, blunt man. He had no use for executive session business, red tape or cabinet secrets concerning affairs in which the public was interested. Milwaukee —The news of the death of General Rusk spread rapidly through the city, and the feeling of sorrow was universal and sincere. The news came in the nature of a shock, inasmuch as bulletins from the bedside of the distinguished patient had been such as to encourage hope. Indianapolis—Ex-President Harrison received the news of General Rusk’s death this morning and was much affected. He expressed the deepest sorrow at the taking off of the venerable member of his official family.

An Ice Bicycle.

The latest Ice bicyole news comes frem Leavenworth, Kan. It is said that Dr. E. Christiansen, of that city, owns the American patent right to a bicycle sled or velocipede sled, as its inventor, Leonhard Thanner, of Germany, and a brother-in-law of tho Doctor, cills it. “The original German patent was granted May 4, 1890, and the American patent May 9, 1593. Tho sled has also been patented in Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, England, and Canada. One hundred and thirtythree thousand of these novel contrivances have been sold in England so far. The manufacturing price is low because of the machine’s simplicity. Bicycle enthusiasts by means of these machines, it is said,” would be enabled to follow the sport the year round, and its use with pedals, or a small sail, on tho ice would revolutionize the sport of skating or coasting. The velocity of the sled, as tested in tho lee Sport Corso at Munich, Bavaria, showed it to be as speedy as the safety bicycle, and in a long run it excelled, "as it required loss effort on the part of tho rider. The levers work as speed producers and as a brake. The machine is very light, and can be readily taken apart and packed in small compass, making it as portable a 4 an umbrella. Dr. Christiansen has a small model of the sled. Several Leavenworth manufacturers have seen it, and there is a possibility of a company heiug formed there for its manufacture. Some of the bicycle manufacturers have heard of tho sled, and Dr. Christiansen has had several opportunities to dispose of his rights at a good round sum.’’—Hardware.

The city was incorporated last winter by an act of the Legislature. The Utopian town site includes twenty-five square miles in the garden spot of Niagara County, nearly all the land already being under options held by tho president of the town, the originator of the plan of model town construction. It overlooks the Niagara River on the west and Lake Ontario on tho north, within sight of Brock’s Monument on Queenstown Heights, and within cannon shot of the famous old Fort Niagara. Among the unique powers granted the town governors is one to build, equip and operate a pneumatic power plant for tho carrying of messages, parcels and freight from place to place; another to establish and operate manufacturing plants on the co-operative plan.

A Clever Retort.

A young globe trotter, bearing an illustrious French name, was holding forth'during a dinner in tho Faubourg St. Germain at Paris about the loveliness of the Island of Tahiti, and describing in glowing colors the marvelous beauty of the women of that French dependency. With the object of learning whether the young traveler had restricted his observations to the fair sex, as one might have been tempted to believe from the tenor of his remarks, one of the Barons Rothschild who was present ventured to inquire if he had remarked anything else worthy of note in connection with the island. Resenting tho Baron’s inquiry, he replied, “Yes, what struck mo much was that there were no Jews and no pigs to be seen there.” “Is that so?” exclaimed the Baron, in no wise disconcerted. “Then let you and me go there together; we shall make our fortune.” XT IS WELL TO GET CLEAR OE A COLD the first week, but It Is much better and safer to rid yourself of It tho first forty-eight hours—the proper remedy for the purpose being Dr. D.

Sparrow and Swallow.

Editor Huddaway of the Easton (Md.) Ledger gives an account of a most remarkable encounter between a barn swallow and an English sparrow. The swallow, as stated to the editor, had built its nest among the rafters of the barn of Mr. Denney, near Royal Oak. in Talbot county. While on the nest the swallow was attacked by the sparrow and the two birds had a furious battle, which went on sometimes in the air and sometimes on the ground. The swallow was courageous, hut it had not the wind of the sparrow and finally had to yield to its antagonist. Having driven the swallow from the barn the victorious sparrow took possession of the nest and contends. In about an hour the swallow returned to the barn bearing in its mouth a bunch of something resembling long horse hair. The bird went directly and noiselessly to its nest, threw itself on the back of the sparrow, and, before that astonished bird had recovered from the shock caused by the sudden and violent return of its vanquished foe, the swallow put a horsehair noose around the sparrow's neck and somehow fastenod the other end of the lasso to the nest or to the rafter. The sparrow soon choked to death on its unexpected gallows, where it hung for several days.

The editor framed his answers upon tho orthodox lines, but unfortunately transposed their two. names, with the result that No. 1, who was blessed with twins, road in reply to his query: “Cover them carefully with straw and set fire to them, and the little pests, after jumping about in tho flames a few minutes, will spoodily bo settled.” While No. 2, plagued with grasshoppers, was told to “Give a little castor oil, and rub their gums gently with a bone ring.”

Literary Men as Husbands. It may be suggested here that a literary man would be a proper mate for a literary woman; but though like often attracts like, we must also admit it just as often attracts unlike, and then we have a theory that explains nothing because it explains ovorything, writes Mrs. Amelia E. Barr in an attiole discussing the question, “Why Do Not Literary Women Marry?" in the Ladies’ Homo Journal. And, in spite of a few brilliant exceptions, experience does not prove that there is much sympathy between the female and the male scholar. The literary woman who knows anything knows that he is, of all men, the most irritable and exacting. Ordinary husbands, going about among ordinary people, are entertaining and reasonable, and bring the atmosphere of actual life home at evening with them. The literary husband spends the day with himself, and with books written by men who hold his (.pinions. lie has no fresh, piquant news, and no gossip of the people they both know. Ho may be writing a political or a theological paper, or making a joke for a comic periodical, but all the same he is apt to be as “snappy as a bull terrier on the chain.” I do not pretend to know how far literary women share this irritability; their knowledge of the male condition may be divination, or it may be deducible from personal feeling, but in any case they have an intuitive dislike to marry literary men. At the same time the disinclination is undoubtedly mutual, and, I may add, with good cause.

The Imperial Flower of Japan.

In Japan the chrysanthemum is the national flower, the imperial emblem. For centuries it has been embroidered on the court robes of emperors. Once a year, when the chrysanthemum is in full flower, royalty gives a fete in her honor. Invitations are only extended to those of high rank. Upon this fete day the royal gardens are thrown open ana the chrysanthemum is queen of the hour.—Ladies’ Home Journal

“Widow of the Late.”

Apropos of the surprising reform in the first column of the Times (London), a reader of that journal asks me to call attention to the absurdity of describing widows—-as is usually done in that column—as “widow of the late so-and-so.” It certainly seems superfluous to mention the fact that a widow’s husband is dead, but I feel bound to add that I have known cases where there was room for doubt upon the point.— London Trutn.

Their Souvenir spoon.

School had opened after the summer vacat ion (says the Spy), and the teacher was questioning the little boys and girls about what they had been doing in the way of recreation. Suddenly Johnny Jones said: "My mamma ana papa went to the World’s Fair.” “What did they bring you home, Johnny?” queried the teacher. “A souvenir spoon, marm.” “Did it have any words on it?" “Yea’m; ‘For a Good Boy.’ ” Susie Greengage was not to be outdone. “My ma and pa wont, too, ” said she. “And what did they bring you, Susie?" “A' spoon, and it had on it ‘Souvenir of the Fair.’" Teaaber looked over the smiling faces and observed Sammy Klepto, evidently waiting his turn. “Did your mother and father go to tho Fair, Sammy?” she asked. “Yes, marm; they brought me a big silver spoon.” “What words were on yours?” “Palmer House, marm." The Museo Borbonioo was a celebrated musoum of antiquities, sculptures, paintings, etc., in Naples, Italy.
