Sioux City Journal.
"That item about the catfish that was
caught with fifteen pound ham in its
stomach" said j. G. Q. Hoskins to a
Journal reporter, twas nearer the facts
than you usually come. The ham weigh
ed sixteen pounds. The fish weighed
about 100 pounds, and was as long as
Meyer Wise there. The ham was likely
one of the damaged ones that were
thrown off government boat about the
time Sully started from this city on his
expedition against the Sioux. A great
deal of spoile d corn was thrown into the
river about the same time, and the cat
fish were very plenty for long while
afterward. Life Robinson caught one
in Perry creek with q garden rake that
weighed 137 pounds on Hedges scales.
John Hagy offered him SIS or $40 for the
fish, but he said thatit was sick, and car
ried it on wheelbarrow back to the Per
ry creek, and dumped it in. The fish
had been out of the water several hours
but it swan off we'll enough and then Lie
regretted that he had not sold It,
Another catfish was cought that weighed
1856 pounds, but did not see this one.
Such fish as these could swallow small
child as easily as the 100 pound fish
swallowed the ham.
Lie Robinson's father caught one at
the mouth Of the Big Sioux that he said
he knew would weigh 200 pounds. ]
came up about half an hour after the
fish got away. Robinson had pulled il
out on sand bar where the water was
only few inches deep. He was afraid
if he tried to pull him on dry land his
line would break. So he planned tc
jump astride the fish and get his hands
in its gills, and so get it ashore. The
plan worked all right that far, he told
me when came, and then the next he
knew he was oyer his head in the water
and the fish was going down toward the
Missouri with wake behind it like q
steamboat"

Butler and the Panama Canal Question.
New YORK. November 2d-Ben Butler
told Herald interviewer yesterday: "I am
opposed in every dictate Of judgment and
every sentiment Of patriotism to the Panama
Csual scheme, either in peace or war. | do
not put it upon the silly ground that the
building of it is an Infringement Of the Mon
roe doctrine. England has seized upon the
whole commerce of the eastern shore Of the
American Continent, but we still control
some commerce. on the western shores, Open
that canal, ard she seizss upon that. III
anybody indulges 10 the not too wise idea that
wnen british vessels carrying British goods
get through the canal they will take their
freight up to San Francisco to be distributed
up ana Gown the State from thence. such
person simply indulges in dream. British
ships will distribute the freight themselves in
their own way, to the exclusion Of American
merchants. England can lay goods at the
end OF the Panama canal from Liverpool as
cheaply as she can in New York. As the
matter stands Low, Englssd could not block
a3e San Francisco, because no blockade
would be sufficient which was not by steam
vessels, and she has no war vessels which can
carry more than enough coal to make the run
from the Sandwich Islands to San Francisco
and return but open the Panama Canal.
and you might as well anchor Gibraltar of
the Golden Gate, because then she could put
her heavy iron.clads around our Pacific ports
and maintain them there, certainly until we
could build navy which could cope with
them. The whole western coast of cur Con-
tinent would be open to the ravages of her
navy until she had navy on that coast that
could meet ours. It is said that the Powers
promise a guarantee of neutrality in the
canal. History teaches what that means.
The Powers guaranteed the neutral
ity of Denmark, but that guarantee
did not count for much when the feet Of Nell
so1 was at Copenhagen. Whatever paper
guarantees might be, the strongest naval
nation in case of war would take possession
of the Panama Canal. hope the admins
tratiop, sustained by Congress with uuanim-
ity, as il will be no party question, viii SIM
ply give notice to everybody that in its judg-
ment it is neither for the necessity, con-
veniance or interest of the United States to
have canal at Panama, ard that whoever
builds it after such notice must DO go with
the full and distir CT understanding that when
it becomes in our judgment for the interest of
the United States to take possession of such,
we shall do so, wholly irrespective Of any
rights of private property which may be
claimed for the money put into it.
