following:
Captain James Carroll for some time pest
has been master Of the steamer Idaho. plying
between Portland and Alaska, and not mixing
up much with the crowd Of shippers about
Broadway dock, it was to be expected that in
drawing the long bow he could not keep up
with the others. but since his return to this
port he has made it evident that his skill ex-
ceeds that Of his rivals. Alaska has for many
years been spoken of as a most wonderful coun-
try and Astounding in game, gold and scenery,
but according to CAROLS yarns the half has
never been told. Yesterday the subject of fish
ing came up and the captains story was that
year or so ago he had passenger one Blair
Howe or Howe Blair, he knew not which, but
the gentleman was the shorthand reporter Of
the House OF Representatives at Washington.
Coming down Takou harbOr a southeast gale
was encountered and the steamer was
compelled to come TO an anchor While
waiting for the storm to abate, the
shorthand man became restless and con-
Guided to go fishing. The captain sent him
ashore in a small boat, manned by four men and
an officer. and the party in a short time were in
a small creek. about a half mile distant. An ex-
clamaton from the lookout in few minutes
attracted Carroll's attention and with his glass
he discovered that something was wrong with
the fishing party. All six of the men with their
rubber boots were In the water up over their
knees and cutting up very peculiar antics Ap-
parently they were kicking at something and
Carroll thought sea serpent had got between
them and the shore and they were trying to
drive ii away. Every now and then q man
would 60 down into the water and his cOmpan-
ions would rescue him. Pretty soon all hands
were ashore, and when the boat returned q
half hour later 1t was completely filed with
large salmon, and from the shorthand man he
learned that In the creek were millions of sal
mon going up and down the current. and the
fishing poles taken along were Of no use, SO
that all the men got In the water and kicked
the salmon ashore. If they had had rakes or
pitchfOrks, enough Of the finny tribe to I'LL the
steamer could have been taken within few
hours"
1.-The gentleman referred to In the above para
graph Is Mr.. VIM. Blair Lord, well-known in
this city. who says that the captains story,
while not entirely accurate in detail, is sub
stantially true as to the number of salmon In
the stream: Mr.. Lord tell US that instead of q
boat load, some thirty odd salmon were taken
in the manner stated, and by the use OF q hast

Considerable earth work remains to be

In the Centrala convention a few days
ago thlrty-tour counties of Southern Hi
nois were represented by men of intcli-
gence, who probably reflected correctly the
sentiments, upon leading public matters, of
the communities that sent them. Hence
the fact that at every mention of Mr.. Til
dens name, or even the most distant ref
erence thereto, the whole convention burst
forth as with one voice in hearty applause,
IS very significant fact, inaSmuch as it
proves that the Democracy of Illinois has
very tender spot in its heart for Mr.. Tllden
and will give him its unanimous support
for the Presidency.

take the first chance now to give them
hard tussle. The contest yesterday was not
for the championship of the city at large,
but it leaves the Arabs in possession of the
championship over the Roughs, Del,as and

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Educational BIZ.

WASHINGTON, D. g., May 27.-Mr.
Willis, OF Kentucky, who Is the author Of
the House educational bill, hopes TO &c.
that subject before the House for
its action this week. Now that the
bulk Of the appropriation bills are
off the hands Of the House, It Is In
clined TO turn its attention 10 some Of the
more important measures before II,
which are for the good u the general
public. Ia fact, the leading members
recognize the necessity for doing some
thing. Almost six months Oi The session
have passed, and 1t Is ditficgtto point ont
any general measure Of importance, aside
from the pleuro- pneumonia bii, and
one or two Others OF q general nature,
that have passed the House. The gen.
eral impression among the friends Of the
educational bill Is that 1t will not meet
with serious opposition at the House end
OF the Capitol. 1t was pretty thoroughly
discussed In the Senate, and the Senate
put the bill In such shape as % give gem
eral satisfaction. As amended bv
the Senate, 1t ia now yery similar
to the blu introduced In the House
by Mr.. Willis; 80 It Is proba-
bic that Mr.. Wills will, when the bin
comes up In the House, move 70 substi.
tute the Senate bill for his own. in order
to lessen the complications which would
follow, should the House adopt It's own
bill Instead Of the Senate's, and the nros.
pect that the bill may become a law seems
TO be very good.

On account Of bad weather on the day
fixed the date was changed to yesterday
afternoon, when the weather was fine. Both
companies were on hand, each with the
engine, and several hundred people were
present to witness the fun.
The judges agreed upon we're Alderman
G. N. Hughes for the Roughs, Chief Myers
for the Arabs and Alderman Smith for the
third member selected by the other two.
The Roughs made the first throw. The
engine was placed at the public cistern at
the intersection of Eighth Street, and was
manned as strongly as the breaks would
permit. Their throw measured 113 feet.
They then gave away to the Arabs who
threw 1873 feet s inches. The second throw
of the Roughs was ia feet and the second
of the Arabs was 124 feet inches.
The Roughs saw that theirs was hope
less case after their second throw and gave
up the contest before the Arabs had made
their second throw. The judges decided
that the Arabs were justly entitled to retain
the horns aud Alderman Hughes made the
formal presentation to Capt. GiIhofer, of
the Arabs, who received them gracefully,
remarking, "we'll be ready to put them up
again at any time, and with the money,
too.n
Neither of the engines made as good a
throw as they did in 1880 when the Arabs
first got the horns. Then the Roughs threw
1870 feet inches and the Arabs 1870 feet.
But then they used a 55inch tip, whereas
this time 2l-inch tip was used, which
may fully account for the difference.
