WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The special ses-
sion OF congress is about TO run into the
regular session and closes upon one Of the
most closely contested disputes ever
known In the senate. For one week the
struggle Tor supremacy has been going
on and no one could tell what each hour
would develop. 1t was grand game OF

that it is practically over. Eustis' admis,

by the report of six to three
from the committee to-day, the
the advantage in the contest Is
awarded to the Republicans. They have
seated Kellogg primarily by the restless.
ness OF the Democrats, and partly by rhe
! tightening of party lines, which result
was brought around chiefly by ConEling.
Whether different result would have
been secured had the Democrats not A.

Years ago there was an abundance Oh
wild fowl during the spring and fall, IN
the lakes, and about the wet lands OF the
Mississippi bottom, but OF late our hun
tera often return with little game. They
may read the accounts OF the vast NUM-
Der OF geese and ducks to be found in
California, and 1t will revive a recollec'
ton OF the good old days when the MINI
rod had only to 20 mile or two from
the city to get all the game he wanted
The Chronicle, OF San Francisco, has the
following concerning wild fowl and
other game:
"a remarkable flight Of wild geese
took place over and about Sacramento
City week ago. The birds seemed be,
wildered and terrified by the storm, and
to be seeking place OF refuge. Their
number was myriad, the air being dark
ened as by passing clouds and made yo-
cal with their harsh gable, as they flew
about in all directions. As
the storm increased in fury, Their
flight, which had previously
been very low, descended to level win
many Of the hOusetops, during the heav-
est OF the shower part OF the flock in
passing over Q street struck against o
large house and were knocked into the
road, while others fell wounded upon the
kitchen roof. A flock allghted on L
street, between Front and Second streets,
and remained there tor some time, Cab
bling and confused In the darkness and
storm. Police officer Woods. while on
his way home just before day break,
captured one OF the geese on Eleventh
street, which had broken its wing by fly
ing against house or some other obstruc.
ton.
In six days hunt in the Coast Range,
recently, VIM. Huddleston and B. Pear
son killed II deer.
II. G. Findley of San Luis Obispo last
week killed q wagon load OF geese in one
day, bringing down II at one double
shot and twelve at another on the Ar
ravo Grande.
The champion duck shooting story is
from Los Angeles. II is stated that j. +.
Brown. hunter of that place, recently
killed 100 ducks in day, and "a of them
at one shot.
