Sea Elephant IInbies.

Two sea elephant babies were recently
exhibited nv Santa Clara, California.
lhey were captured by Captain Peters off
the Mexican coast, about seven hundred
miles south OF this port, and arc the prop
erty OF Mr. j. I. Hayes. They now weigh
about eight hundred pounds apiece, though
only few months old. They are good
tempered and playful, and willingly allow
gentle handling. Similar curiositics hnve
never before been seen In this city. The
bottle Doscd seal or sea elephant ls tho
largest of the seal family, and from this
fact and the peculiar shape of its nose II Is
80 named. Seals of this species arc often
seen that measure more than twenty five
feet from tip To tip, aud fifteen feet or more
in circumference. In colors the males are
generally dark, grayisb blue or brown, and
the females are dark brown above and vel
lowish below. The male bottle -noscd seal
has the power Of extending its muzzle To n
foot or more in length, as does the elephant
it's trunk. They have four fingers and a
short thumb, with perfect nails, on the
front hippcrs. The hair Is rather coarse.
but there is IA demand for the skins of these
animals for harness makingi The oil that
Is obtained from the blubber Of these seals
is clear, although not exactly pleasant, its
odor and its taste are not bad, and IL burns
slowly, with bright clear, smokelcss
lame. These seals are found In lnrgc
herds on the islands Of the Antarctic ocean,
and in the winter time M far north ~ the
coast OF Mexico, generally on sandy and
desert beaches, near fresh water streams.
They never attack a h imam being, except
in defense Of their young or in self defense.
The species are much larger, as a general
statement, than the largest elephant AZ
consequence Of brutal and indiscriminate
slaughter, they are now nearly extinct.

The estimate OF the liberal leaders I'm London.
based upon the latest returns from the cleo
tons. Is that they will have clean majority of
eighty in the new Parliament and including
the CD home rulers they count upon a majority
of 140 votes. There were elections for $50 seats
last week, OF which the conservatives only car
ried 49,. There remains 26S seats to be voted
for and the liberals expect to carry $50 OF these.
This estimate Is no doubt based upon the most
favorable outlook for the opposition and the
chances are that they will fall below 1t. 1t is
evident, though, that they will have working
majority, and the interesting question now Is
who will be called upon to form a
ministry. The man who is entitled TO
the premiership is Mr.. Gladstone. He has led
his party to victory, but there Is some reason to
believe that he does not desire TO again assume
the responsibilities and annOyanceS of leader
ship. IL Is rumored, too, that through Beacons-
fields influence, the Queen will be induced to
summon Earl Granville to form a ministry
The result OF the election Is a sad diSappoint-
ment to Lord Beaconsfield. He Is too old to
entertain reasonable hope of an opportunity
to reverse. in the future, the public verdict now
recorded against him. Were he younger man
it would be safe to count upon his coming to
the front In public affairs again. but with the
weight OF years upon him he must retire for
good now.

1t appears that the hotel proprietorS OF Gu
cinnati have arranged a special schedule OF
prices which is TO be enforced during the sitting
of the democratic convention. Written applI-
cations for rooms during the convention have
brought forth replies that expose the intention
to demand excessive prices for accommodation.
In one instance small hotel demanded s. per.
day for single room. The first-claSs hotels
have all been engaged by the friends OF the va
rious candidates for the nomination and this
opens the way for the smaller establishments
to make the convention a profitable thing to
them

Mr.. John Swinton, the communist, brings his
boom to early and abrupt grief by notifying his
followers that he cannot be their candidate for
President, because the Constitution requires
that the incumbent of that Office shall be a
native OF the United States, whereas he was
born In Scotland The point might be made
that the Constitution doesn't prevent any one
from being a candidate and running all he
wants to, which viii meet all the requirements
OF Mr.. Swinton's case completely; but the point
we wish TO emphasize Is the fact that Mr. SWIM
ton and his Tx recognize such thing as the
Constitution at all. That is encouraging

The Grant republicans in Massachusetts, are
working industriously for their candidate and
1t Is claimed with encouraging prospects They
have issued an address in behalf OF Gen. Grant
and IL is signed by many OF the influential men,
berS OF the party. The anti-third term republi-
cans are divided among Blaine. Sherman and
EdmundS, with few for Washburne. and this
adds to the prospect OF victory for the Grant
men. 1t is believed that many of the Edmunds
men will ultimately go over to Grant, and upon
the whole the outlook Is rather favorable TO a
grant delegation from the old Bay state

An Oswego (New York; editor addressed a
circular letter TO the democratic papers OF the
state, asking their opinion as TO the advisable
ity OF renominating Tilden and as to the senti-
ment In the counties where the papers are pub
l1Shed, respectively. Seventy replies were re-
cefved from that number of democratic Jour-
mails published In fifty counties Only thirteen
of the replies were favorable to Tilden. and sew
eral of them in a qualified manner. Flfty-seven
democratic editors recorded themselves and the
journals they control as unalterably opposed to
Tilden's denomination, and as rule they gave
the opinion that he could not carry the state.
With but few exceptions, those who returned
replies unfavOrable to Tilden expressed the
opinion that very many democrats would vote
against him even II he were made the nominee
OF their party. This exhibit probably startled
MI Tilden's friends and supporters in the state.
1t shows that the opposition to him comprises
majority OF the party, and the influential por-
ton OF 1t, too. II shows, Also that Mr. Tilden
occupies very different place In the eStima-
ton OF his party from that held by him In 1916.
Then the democratic papers, with few excep-
lions, were doing battle for him; now they are
against him. The replies received did not In
clude any of the metropolitan papers, the In
quiry being directed to journals outside New
York City and Brooklyn.

The total amount Of subscriptions to the Par
nell Irish relief fund received by the committee
In New York city was $780, 1896. This, however.
does not represent the entire collections by
Parnell On his tour through the country. In
Boston. Chicago, S. Louis and other large
cities the collections were sent by the local com
mitteeS direct TO Ireland and therefore did not
pass through the hands OF the New York COM
mittee. Through Mr.. Parnell and the New
York Herald the people of the United States
have contributed to the relief OF Ireland con.
siderably more than half million dollars.

The paper monopolists have rather overdone
the business OF forcing up the price of paper
The proprietor Of the Chicago Times has headed
revolt against the monopoly rule, and has
closed contract with a Montreal firm for 900
tons or printing paper. He finds 1t cheaper, or
at any rate preferable, to pay freight and duties
on Canadian paper rather than submit to the
prices CHARGED by the combination which holds
