A Fish story.

San Francisco Examiner: W, L. John
son. writes from Lake View, Oregon.
May rs, as follows: "A wonderful fish
is becoming numerous in Goose Lake.
1t Is called by some. the gresnback fish.
for it 10 certainly All iBflatiOnist. 1t has
the power to fill itself with air until il
becomes very much like a round ball.
OF evenings about sundown they may je
seen playing On the surface of the water.
They will swell up by taking in the air,
and the wind will blow them over the
lake. They reflect all the cOlOrs of the
rainbow, and when sporting over the
lake ere a grand sight. A hunter sever
al weeks ago saw q crane swallow one
its normal condition, but before the
crane had got more than fifty feet up
above the lake the fish had taken in
enough air TO explode the crane, which
at the sound OF a report like that of a
gun, few all TO atoms, and the fish came
lightly down on the water, no worse of
for the short ride in the air. The fish Is
great curiosity, never having beer
found,I believe, in other waters"

Is This Statement True!


The French spoliation bill passed the house
yesterday aud passed the senate before the
holiday recess, and now only awaits the sigma
ture of the President to become Il law,
am an old man (now three-score and ten),
andlam somewhat familiar with this question
In It's history In congress, and with the efforts
of Jobbers to get 1t passed
An old claim agent of Washington, now no
into his own hands at a nominal figure, and
they are now in.the body of his estate, proba-
bly, held as great expectations" II the
claims are paid they will realize millions on
an investment of perhaps not over $1,000.
AS to the validity of the claims, Thomas II.
Benton, of Missouri made telling speech on
that subject to be found in his Thirty Years
View" In which he demonstrated that the
parties who sent out ships In defiance OF the
orders in council and the Milan DEGREES knew
of the blockade established by England and
were conhsoable If captured. Yet, in face OF
this knowledge, they sent out ship after ship,
satisfied that II one vessel out of three escaped
they would make fortunes not only that, but
II captured they would get the insurance
thereon. He asserted they got this insurance,
and therefore they were indemnlted. How,
then, can these claims be legal when founded
on violation ofpublic law then clearly recog-
niZed?
| heard James X. Polk say to Senator Hugh
Lawson White about 1871 or lSi9: "Ihe best
proof that these claims were invalid rested in
the fact that those in power nearest the time
they accrued refused TO recognize them"
Being the enemy of all jObbery, | feel II n
duty to urge the foregoing facts upon the Prest-
dent before he sanctities great public wrong
by signing this act OF congress. ClNIs

Ex-coNTRAcToRs' CLAIMS.
Closing Hearing Before tho HOus
District Committee.

Closing Hearing Before tho House
District Committee.
The house District committee granted
another hearing yesterday to tho parties
interested in tho JeiIord's bill for tho re-
lief Of tho contractors under the board of
public works. Assistant Attorney Miller
opened the session with an argBmout in
opposition to the bill. He gave q history
of District affairs during the period whom
these claims arose. Taking up tho bill
he said that the first section provided that
the claimants under these illegal contracts
shall recover the profits they might have
made out Of legal contracts. These con-
tracts had been made, he said, in viola
tion Of all tho safeguards that congress
and the District legislative assembly had
thrown around them for the protection Of
the people.
The second section he explained by
stating that for certain timo the board
of public works paid for work in money,
but when this money was expended thoy
began to pay in bonds, which bonds de-
preciated in value, and in making con-
tracts in '73 and "a this depreciation was
taken into consideration. Contracts which
thus would have been made for $4,000 in
gold wore made for $l00,0 in bonds He
said that section Q changed tho practice
before tho supreme court Of the District.
He did not question tho right to change
the practice here, but why in these cases
especially He said further that the last
section Of the bill practically estopped all
just claims and was entirely in tho interest
of fraudulent claims. II road as follows
That upon the trial of any case under tn,
| nTnyiat0na Of Nhia ~ nathan Nha ,lat rms at,I
nor his assignor shall bo a competent wit.
ness for nor permitted to testify on behalf
of such claimant"
Gen. Armstrong made q closing argu
ment on behalf Of his clients. Ho
claimed that the purpose of the bill was
simply to place these claimants upon the
same footing as other citizens. Ho sale
that section provides that whom
claimants case had been thrown out o
court because the contract not being il
writing, he might have a new hearing.
Mr. Spriggs objected to this clause be
cause 1t violated judgments.
Mr.. Miller said it was violation Of tn
constitution, which made judgmen
final.
Mr.. Armstrong, in closing, said tina
the bill did not appropriate money; di,
not settle the claims, but merely referre
them to the courts.
Mr.. Christy spoke in rofutation OF tn
statement that the claimants had ha
their day in court, saying tho District
insolvency prevented the prosecution o
the claims. He hold also that tho act O
1880 intended to give tho court equitabl
power, and this bill was to enforce thi
intention.
Edward Barnes, one Of tho contractors
was heard, and Gen. Whitaker wa
heard for the taxpayers In conclusion.

Gently by Maj, James Stevenson have been
sent to tho national museum to be prepared
for exhibition. Some very serious losses oc-
cured by brcaknge In transporting the cOleG-
ton from New Mexico, owing TO the inability
TO procure proper material for packing fragile
wares. Mai Stevenson says II was almost i'm.
possible to get hay ont there, even at 600 and
500 II tom. The best he could do was TO buy
up all the wool the Indians had on haud, and
there was not enough to pack the things. His
idea OF buying wool In preference TO huy was
that the wool cost very little more per pound
and would bring something in the market
here altcr unpackiug, while hay AT cents per
pound was very expensive and would be
worthless amer using, The Indians wool is
horribly dirty and brings very little in the
market here, especially on acCoun. of the sand
