THE MONKEY OF BURMAH.
In. Y. TinfeS.l

The Scientific News, in recent essay
on monkeys inBurmah, reveals such Il
world of neglected possibilities for use
fulness to society in the members of this
despised connecting link, that an asso-
citation for the elevation of the slmiac
tribes will no doubt follow general diss-
emination of the facts. According to
the writer, who has passed many years
in Southern Asia, the monkey makes the
most reliable cashier in the world, and
when well trained, is able to discrimin>
ate between true and spurious coin with
q delicacy to which his master cannot
approximate.
When coin is placed in his hand, he
first examines its design and inscription
with great gravity aud attention, and
then puts the piece In his mouth and
tests it by the sense of taste. If it is all
right he passes it to his master with a

station, West Virginia, resulting in a
victory for Ryan, after eighty-six rounds
of a hard-fought battle.
Ryan first put in an appearance, reach
ing the grounds about five o'clock. He
was accompanied by his trainer, Johnny
Roach, and one or two others. He
walked straight up to the ring, and was
greeted with cheers. He advanced and
looked at the square ring, and addressed
the crowd by saying, "This is the first
time ever saw prize ring. hope
doss will show up, and we will have a
fair fight" In about an hour Goss ap-
peared. His seconds were Dave Jones
and Billy Crowley, and Ryan's were John
Hines and Jack COnnery.
They spared f,lriously at first, and
in the first round Goss slipped to avoid
punishment. Ryan got first blood in
the third round by slashing blow on
the mouth of Goss. The fight contin-
ued with varying success until the last
round, although Ryan continued to
pound Goss heavily and to fall on him
when they clinched. Goss' favorite tao.

friends made several claims of foul
Not allowed. Goss' seconds would not
allow him to come to time; the battle
lasting one hour and twenty-seven min

The Political Pot Red Hot in Chicago

The Political Pot Red Hot in Chicago.
Chicago, June 1.-The excitement which
seemed to prevail in this city last night
is exceeded by the excitement of to-day.
There are more people in the city, and
the new arrivals entered at once into the
contest as partisans of one or the other
candidate. It having been announced that
ut IL o'clock an adjourned meeting of
the national committee would be held,
and that a further refusal of Mr.. Gamer
ON to entertain an anti-Grant rule, would
result In his immediate decapitation,
the rush was for the vicinity of the COM
mittee rooms, where the question at issue
is now being wildly discussed. There
are two opinions among majority of the
committee. One led by ex-senator
Chaffee is for the removal of Cameron,
and the radical change Of all committees
The other is held by such men as
Gov. Jewell, of Connecticut, who will
only consent to the removal of Cameron
upon the refusal of Senator Conkling
and other great leaders, to promise not
to seek to enforce the unit rule in the
preliminary organization. If that pl edge
were given, then Mr.. Cameron and Sec
retary Keogh were to be left undisturbed;
if refused, then the conservative men
would vote with the radical men for the
removal. The majority are determined
to get view of the roll of members and
see that all the claimants for
seats are not adverse to the in
terests of the opposing candidates. AS
they are now in possession of the hall,
they feel able to command the situation
LATER.
A committee of conference has been
appointed on deposing Cameron.
announced that Massachusetts would
cast twenty votes on the first ballot for
Sherman, that being the Edmunds
strength, Judge Hoar was seen as to the
correctness Of. the statement. He said
they would give their first vote to Ed
munds as instructed, but after that to
Sherman. The Blaine vote in the Ohio
delegation numbers nine, and Mac, of
the Sandusky Register, says they will
vote on first ballot for Blaine.
1p. ma recess of the national COM
mittee has been taken. It is reported
that Conkling, Logan and Cameron met
the committee and conceded everything
the anti-Grant men demanded. MIR. W.
d. Chandler has been selected by the op-
position to take Cameron's place. It
now remains to be seen what will be
done since the concession made by the
senators.
The conference committee having con-
siderable business before it, as to seats
and other matters, the national commit
tee adjourned till 2:3O. Members of the
committee say that in the meeting prop
er no vote, not even one, that may be
considered as indicating the relative
strength, has yet been taken.
