During my winter journey across ST.
IBERIA 1 was somewhat disappointed at
seeing 30 few wolves. In my journey of
5000 miles across the steppes l saw only
fourteen, eleven in one band, two in an
other and one solitary brute at a distance
prowling about on the ice of the Yenes-
sci. But the sled is a great place wherein
to brood wolf stories. When you are
lying down under your furs at night and
the sled passing quickly over the frozen
roads you imagine, IL the weather is not
extremely cold, that you can hear the
deep growing OF wolves following your
sled. II the weather is terribly cold you
near what you imagine to be the short,
quick yelping Of 1000 famished brutes
after you. 1t is a dreadful sound when
you first hear It, but you soon learn to
know that this peculiar noise. which, as
sisted by the imagination, you fancy To
be made by fery-mounted wolves, is
caused by the wooden runner passing
over the crisp snow. Travellers Siberian
wolf stories are, l am afraid, too often

Catfish in Florida are not regarded as
wholesome food. They are water scav-

be found at the mouth Of sewers and
worse places at any time of day or night,

carrion. Boys do not fish to catch them,
and delight to throw at them clubs and

The New York Street Car strik

The New York Street Car Strike.
New YoRK, April % .-Matters are
quiet at the offices OF the Third Avenue
Surface railroad this morning. Cars be-
gan running at 7:45 and 500 police were
on hand. The strikers talk with great
bitterness against the company aud de-
clare the trouble will now take a more
serious aspect.
After a very long Session the meeting Of
the executive committee of the Empire
Protective Association and the Third
Avenue railway strikers, at Eighty-sev-
enth street and Fourth avenue, adjourned
at 3 o'clock this morning without having
taken any action toward ending the strike
or forcing the company to terms. The
subject Of another general tie-up was dis
cussed for hours, but the executive com
mittee Of the Empire Protective Associa-
ton decided at the hour of adjournment
not to take the step to-day. The opposi-
ton OF the Second avenue employees, who
objected to being ordered out again, had
some effect in preventing the order from
being issued.
A prominent knight of Labor said last
evening there was a serious revolt in the
order in regard to the foolish manner in
which the present strike had been con

Newspapers, as the word is now un-
derstood, are the growth of the nine
teenth century, one of the most astonish-

age. In their absence. the periwigged,
broad-skirted gentry OF an early age were
informed OF the intentions of their gov

sheets of paper printed only on one side
and either displayed in public places, dis
tributed gratis, or hawked about the
streets, according TO the character of
their contents.
The collection of the broadsides in the
public library is not as large as that
owned by private libraries of an earlier
foundation, but under glass cases and
carefully stored portfolios there are a

country in the days of Salem witches

GENERAL CROOK.
Why he Asked To Be Relieved from His Com
mand in the Southwest.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia special dispatch from
Ell Paso, Tex, published here this morning says:
ION March g. last, General Crook telegraphed
General Sheridan from near San Bernardino,
Mexico, that the only propositions that the hos
tiles would entertain was that they should be
sent East for not exceeding two years, with
their families: that they should all return to the
reservation upon the old status, or that they
should return to the warp path. General. Crook
accepted their surrender upon the first PROPOSE
ton. and teleeraphed for instructions. General
Sheridan replied that the President could not
assent to the terms and instructed General
Crook to renew negotiations for unconditional
surrender. On April l. in reply to a telegram
from General Sheridan disapproving his plans,
General Crook answered that he believed his
plan was the most likely to succeed in the end.
He concluded 1t may be, however, that am
too much welded to my own views in this mat
ter, and as have spent nearly eight years of
the hardest work of my life in this department.

SALISBURY AND THE SOCIALISTS.

A Demand that the Prime Minister Receive
DeputatiOn Next Sunday.
LONDON, Nov 15-The council of the Social
Democratic Federation will send letter to the
Marquis of Salisbury, demanding OF him that
he, as Prime Minister, receive a deputation of
unemployed workingmen next Sunday after
noon, and hear from them a statement of rea-
sons for the governments existence The
letter will give as the reason
for naming Sunday for receiving the
deputation that it is the only day convenient for
the persons who will compose the deputaton to
wait formally upon the Prime Minister because
they are compelled to spend all their time on
the other days of the week seeking work. and
the document will caution the Premier from at
tempting to evade the deputation, and ask him
to refrain from following this week, his custom
of going into the country on Saturday.
The Democratic Federation has notified Sir
Charles Warren, chief of police, that numerous
professions would be held on Sunday next,
and that the parades intend to meet in Trafal-
gar Square.

A decision was also rendered by the court in
the case of the steamer Harrisburg and her own

appeal from the United States Circuit Court for
the Eastern district of Pennsylvania. This was
suit brought TO recover damages for the losa
of human life through the alleged carelessness
and negligence of the employees on board the
steamer Harrisburg. The court holds, first,
that IN the absence of any national or State law
giving right of action to recover damages for
the death of human being on the high seas or

q suit in admiralty in the courts Of
the United States cannot be maintained;
second, that even If an action at law has been
authorized by statute in the State where the
loss of life occurred. and a suit in rem can be
maintained in admiralty against an offending
vessels for damages Ia point which, however the
court does not decide), the present case was be-
gan too late. The law which gives the right Of
action in Pennsylvania provides that such suit
should be brought within one year. Five years
elapsed in this case between the time when the
accident occurred and the time when the suit
was begun, and there was no equitable excuse
for the delay. The decree of the Circuit Court
is reversed, with costs, and the case remanded
with directions to dismiss the libel Opinion by
Chief justice Waite.

The Narrowing Experience of Mr.. Kleiner, of
the First District.

the First District.
Washington Special.
Representative Kleiner, OF Indiana, who has
been talking about the causes of Democratic
reverses in the recent election furnishes an in
teresting chapter in the volume of postcampaign
history that is being collected here. Having re-
fused a denomination, and feeling free, he talks
right out, and declares that he would be glad to
see all power to bestow patronage taken from
members Of Congress. He would make many
Offices elective but, at all events, he would re.
leve Representatives from all responsibility in
giving them out. ''Of 134 postoffices in my dis
trict," he says, 'only one remained unchanged at
the beginning of the campaign. and that was
presidential office, and l have been waiting
for the incumbents term to expire. Postmaster
general Villas remarked that had swept my
district clean. Notwithstanding my avowed
purpose to retire from Congress and my
efforts to satisfy the Democratic sentiment Of
each locality in making recommendations. there
has been great deal of complaint, or rather
should say there have been some disappointed
applicants who complained loudly and MADE a
big noise. Take a crossroads postoffice with a
salary of $3.50 year attached. There are two
or three rivals in business. each keeping little
store. Each wants the postofce and makes
hot fight for it, and when the applicant who gSts
the largest number of residents of the vicinity
to sign his petition is given the Office tie others
sulk and complain. They Will say that the man
appointed had not done as much for the party as
they had. respectively. The disappointed ones
sympathize with each other and get tAe sympa-
thy OF relatives and friends, and pretty soon the
Congressman finds that he has made enemies
because of an appointment that was scarcely
considered worth having Then there aw
applicants for foreign missions. consulascS, etc,
who refuse to believe that their Congressman
cannot get the places tor them You see, when
the Democratic party came into power there
were great many of it's members who thought
they ought to have Office and there have not been
Offices enough to go round. These people began
with the Congressman Of their district They
could reach him easier than any of the authori-
ties at Washington, and he has been necessarily
piled for office Why, 1t is no wonder to me that
the House was charged with ineffciency last ses-
sion The Democratic members we're kept so
constantly engaged in looking after places for
their constituents that they had not time to give
legislative subjects consideration | know that
l found it impossible to keep the run of current
business The greatest reform we could bring
about would be to free Senators and Representa-
tives from all responsibilities to the distribu-
ton of Offices. They should not have anything
to do with it,"
