priating S2,07O,eO8 for Notifications

protested strenuously, but Horr, OF
Michigan, who has been engineering
the movement for months,
quietly dropped 100000 out OF
the terp' do clause reducing the to-
tai appropriation to $2.070,OO0 and
securing the continued support OF
Hancock and Ellis. This forced the
bill through, Theight in the com
mittee was very hot one. Finally
Randall was ou.yo'ed and could
only say Holman and he protested
strongly against this unusually
large appropriation aud would pre-:
sent as minority report the usual
bill providing 'or ceniiouance OF
existing work and some torpedo and
gun experiments at total cost OF
about 100000. The bill as agreed
upon appropriates 81 .000. O0S for ex-

NEW ORLEANS, La, November 1.-The

the passengers and crew, numbering
1853 in all, and brought them to this port.
Captain Wander Zee, of the Maasdam,
makes the following statement: "We left
Rotterdam October IS, with eight
cabin and one hundred and
thirty three steerage passengers, and a
crew of forty five men. All went well
until the 23d, when we encountered

leak, placed lighted lamp near the tank,
which exploded with loud report, the
contents taking fire and putting the ship in
a blaze. Every effort to control the
fire was useless, so at 4 p. m. ] ordered
all hands into the boats. At 8 p. m.
we were picked up by the steamer Rhein.

Sharks as Food.

In view of the number of sharks that
have made their appearance on the
tlantic coast this season. attention has
zen turned TO their adoption for culi-
nary purposes. The Ichthyophagus
Society at their dinner at the Murray
Hill Hotel, partook of shark, and pos
sibly their example may be followed by
persons desirous of emulating such an
epicurean example. As the Chinese
are notoriously fond of sharks fins,
which are rich in the gelatinous matter
that gives body to their fayorite soup.
there may be some chance of turning
the present superfiuity of sharks to ac-.
count. though the true Celestial epicure
is content only with the FMS of the
great white shark. the ferocious man.

American waters. -1ostoR 7fdnscsipk
