The Washington correspondent of
the Cleveland Leader writes his paper
that some Of the funniest scenes
about the National Capital are found
in the street cars, and there is no bet
ter place in which to study human
nature. All classes ride in them from
the Cabinet Minister to the messenger
in the department, and [ have had as
my companions at one time General
of the Army, the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court. aletter-carrier, dress
maker, and Sam Randall. ride down
town every morning, and often have
the chief of a great Government Bu-
reau as my seat-mate. He is a man
well known throughout the country,
and he receives a salary of $1,000 a
year l have noticed that he always
takes his seat nearest the fare-boX, and
that he buys a package of six tickets
for a quarter when he sits down. He
takes pains to offer to pass up all the
fares and puts them into the box for
his fellow passengers. Whenever a
nickel is given him he changes it into
his pocket and puts into the box one of
his tickets, so that when he has re
ceived five nickels he is one ticket
ahead. He thus gets his ride free. 1t
makes no difference to any one, sup
pose, but it looks small for a five-thou-
sand. dollar man.

A GREAT POULTRY FARM.

There is a poultry farm of 5000
plymouth Rocks at Lancaster. Mass.
Mr.. Hawkins, its owner, calculates to
have about 5000 fowls every Fall, and
carries over $500 laying hens through
the Winter. His farm contains %
acres, and his poultry buildings occupy
an acre and half. These comprise
six or seven sheds 200 feet in length.
Each shed is divided into apartments
Of 12X20 feet, and about 25 hens are
kept in each division. A yard is made
in front of each apartment. Mr.. H.
believes that if confined poultry have
their wants attended to they will do
as well as If allowed free range He
bases this belief on several actual
tests. In Matching time he sets 200
hens in one day, and puts 500 eggs in
an incubator, which is due to hatch on
the same day, the chickens from which
will be distributed among 200 hens.
His sales OF fowls and eggs for hatch
ing at fancy prices are large, aboute,90
per cent. being profit. He also has q
standing order for 60 to 80 dozens of
eggs daily, for which he gets the big
gest market price. Mr.. Hawkins be-
gan at the age of p with 100 hens, and
by careful management and economy
his business has enlarged so that at
the age of 30, he has very handsome
income. The poultry manure is quite
an item; he sold last year 500 barrels
at $3.50 per barrel.

GLADSTONE'S CAMPAIGN,
The Great English Statesman Starts on
His scotch Campaign - Enthusiastic
Reception by the People at the Rail.
road stations.
LONDON, June II.

LONDON, June II.
Gladstone started Thursday morning on
his Scotch campaign. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Gladstone. Thousands of people
congregated at the railway station to witness
the departure. The crowd was simply enor-
nous. The streets were blocked and de-
layed the approach of the Premier Glad
stones carriage. When Gladstone finally
succeeded in reaching the station platform he
found it packed with people who welcomed
him with enthusiastic cheering. At last he
reached his seat in special coach assigned
for his conveyance. The window at which
he sat was open. When the crowd saw him
through the window it set up another cheer
which was repeated several times. The peo-
pie appeared desirous of having the premier
address them with some parting words be-
fore going away on his laboTious errand. He
arose and spoke from the coach window. He
thanked the people for the honor of their
extraordinary demonstration. He sdjured
them to allow nothing to hide from them the
''bare question Of the hour" "Attempts
have been made" the venerable orator ex-
claimed, "and will be made to divert your at
tention from the real question at issue. This
question is solely whether Ireland shall be
trusted to manage her own affairs. Those who
deny Ireland this right admit that Canada
and other Brisish colonies enjoy such
rights. Are we to trust our fellow subjects
in Ireland, and govern by laws, or are we to
adopt the policy of government enemies and
introduce into Ireland government by force?'
Gladstone then bade his hearers goodbye and
the train moved away Enthusiastic and pro-
longed cheering accompanied its departure,
and hundreds of people waving handkerchiefs
and hats, and God speeding the Premier ran
along the platform beside his coach until the
train out sped them.
At Luton and Bedford crowds of people
were at the station and cheered Gladstone as
the train sped by. No stop was made until
| Leicester was reached. Here there was an
enormouse gathering which gave the premier
an enthusiastic reception. Here and at Trent
Gladstone spoke briefly.
At all points along the route there were
tremendous crowds and addresses and flow
ers were presented to the premier at every
station.
At Galashiel the crowd was more vocifer-
Gus than at any point and Gladstone was
conducted from the train to platform where
he was presented with an address
at Edinburg 40, 200 persons lined the route
from the railroad station TO the hotel and the
police had great difficulty in making pas
sageway for the premier's carriage. Glad
stone says he feels no i'll effects from his
journey.

ais Of clerks embraced within the provisions

hve-minute Limitation Of debate.
Among the bills passed was one to pay to
the representatives of the government OF
Great Britain to enable that government to
indemnify the owners OF the British bark
Clearance for abandoning their whaling voyage
in the Arctic Ocean in 1871 and rescuing 96
American seamen from shipwreck in the ice.
Mr.. Frye explained that the action of this
bark was the most humane and creditable
having been heard Of The American ves-
sells were so placed as to involve the destruc-
tion of all hands If not speedily relieved. The
bark promptly abandoned its own business
and went to the rescue of the Americans
MIR. Frye thought it shame that his claim
had for so many years been before Congress
without passing.
Among other bills passed was one approp-
riatinf S35, 900 for the completion of the pub
lie building at Concord. N. H.. also a bill to
promote POLITICAL progress and commercial

delegates on the part of the United States to
consider such question and recommend such
measures as shall be of mutual interest and
common welfare of the American States.
The legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill was received from the House
and was referred to the committee on approp-
rations.
At Gas p. M. the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
At l.3O, Mr.. Morrison moved that the
House go into a committee of the whole for
consideration of the tariff bill. Yeas and
nays were ordered unanimously and the mo-
tion was defeated; yeas l40, nays l57. The
New England representatives all voted with
the majority. The roll call was watched " ith
great interest both on the floor and in the gal
leries.

there was storm of applause from the repub.
lican side, which the democrats returned with
a hearty good will,
Mr.. Morrison then arose and gave notice
that he would renew his motion Tuesday
next
MIR. Mckinley gave notice that the oppo-
nents OF the bill would try to be present on
that day.
The House at o'clock went into a CONT.

THE FISHERY QUESTION.
The Canadian Government Annulls Its
Former Order.
CHICAGO, June Is.

The Daily News Montreal special says:
The Domion Government has changed its
policy in the fisheries question, having issued
a circular to the captains of cruisers and col
lectors of customs annulling former instruc-
tions regarding the seizure of American ves-
sells for contravention of the treaty. In this
circular no mention is made regarding the
purchase of bait, trans-shipping of cargoes,
shipping of men, as being contrary to the
treaty. The question therefore appears to
be narrowed down to the three mile limit.
This move is said to be in Difference to the
wishes of the Imperial Government for con-
ciliatory enforcement of the treaty in . hope
of the speedy appointment Of commissioners.
