Stocks ana Cattle Markets.

New YORK, Feb. 19.-The stock
market was a waiting one, all eyes being
turned to the Chicago conference, and this
gave the bears, for the time being, an OPP
p%ortunity to make prices, although while
the list was dull and declining almost
throughout the day, movements, except
in a few stocks, were entirely insignificant.
The first prices were generally lower than
last evenings figures. A strong tone was
developed In the first few minutes. which,
however, disappeared in sympathy with
the weakness. In Atchison and Oregon
shares especially, the improvement was
extremely weak and rapidly declining to
small sales, and before noon had dragged
the general list down to below first prices.
Union Pacific and Richmond x West
Point joined the weak stocks in the after
noon, and on an increase of business
prices were carried down still further.
The market closed dull and heavy at about
the lowest prices.
Governments dull .but quiet. Money

Getting Ready to Leave.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. I9.-Among the
politicians great doubt has been expressed
to-day as to whether Wanamaker, Rusk.
Thomas or even Noble will be given seats
in the cabinet. The greatest interest
seems to be %centered in the Pacific slope.
Many Republicans openly declare hat it
will be a breach of good faith if the slope
is ignored and they refuse to admit that it
will be. But after all, there is nothing
but conjecture, for no one has any posi-
tive information on the subject. Gen.
Harrison and his family have actively be-
gan the work of preparing for their re-
moval to Washington.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. l9.-Tbe schoon-
er Tahiti, from Tahiti, brings word of the
greatest excitement there in consequence
of the news of trouble at Samoa. This
has been heightened by the operations of
the French toward Bolabola, Munheine

Fire in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10 Rudolph
Blankenburg & Co.'S large importing
house burned this morning. The flames
spread rapidly and Blankenburg's and
adjoining buildings on Strawberry and
Bank streets were deluged with water to
save them, so that the destruction by fire
is probably the smaller item. A rough
guess puts the loss at half a million. In
sured.
The latest estimates of the total loss are
now placed at $3.50, 500; insurance $3.50,
$50. Among the principal losers are
Rudolph BlaEkenburg 4 Co., $40, 900;

THEY ACTED LIKE wREsrLERs.

one would stand at one end Of a rope and
throw q loop the entire length Of it. With
a sudden jerk the hook lying near the frog
caught into its flesh, and out I pulled him
into the astonished guides face. The
splasp Of my line in the water attracted the
attention of the numerous frogs, and they
hoped toward it continuously, installing II
for insects striking the surfaces.
I hooked them with rapidity, the guide
dressing them as rapidly. He simply hacked
OF the hind legs with one blow of his knife
and pulled of the skin in a twinkling Of star.
I had the pleasure of seeing two frogs
fight. They acted like wrestlers for q time,
until n got the others head in his mouth
and slowly swallowed him. After q time
the victor, exhausted by his unnatural bur-
den, exploded and died. Then the victim
feebly regained consciousness, slowly made
his way to the water and no doubt got
strong again. There is plenty Of trout
fishing here, but it is tame compared with
catching eels and frogs.

| IN short order. He squirmed and wriggled
and acted as mad as q hornet. I rubbed my
hands in the dirt and took him by the neck
so that he could not slip away while the
guide ran q knife into his spine and killed
him. He weighed thirteen pounds, one-half
pound more than the largest eel ! had ever
seen. For four hours I had more fun racing
eels than in all my fishing experiences.
Talk about frogs" said the guide, ''there's
more on EN- up here than dirt to grow
taters with"
Sure enough, I found that the region wa
. frog paradise, chiefly, I suppose, because
it was high up as frogs ever get. The alti-
tude might be called the frog line. The frog
is like the heather Chinee, deceitful. When
you think you have them "they are not
there" as the guide remarked. Frog fishers
are diverse. There is the small boy who
kills them with clubs; the methodical
fisher who angles for them with red fame
for bait, and all the rest who get few frogs
and more sun-blisters, mOsquitO-bites, fly
pests, muddy clothes, and 60 home swear

to simply hook the frogs ard make the guide

the pond there were numberless frogs,

v~ariegated frogs, big-headed fellows with
small bodies and small headed ones with
big bodies-but do not fail to remember all

delicious. whether rolled in cracker crumbs
and fried, or broiled on q spit, or lac up
like a chicken pie.
The frog IS easily victimizcd. He lives
largely on flies and other insects. He fishes
somewhat like the alligator. He floats with
his head out Of water, making anice, sticky,
floating island. The insect, skimming over
the water, lights on him to sip the mucil.
aginous matter. One, two, three-a dozen
of them light, when there is q sudden snap
of the gills and all disappear.
l took advantage of the unsuspecting
creatures, using no bait. AS ! threw my
line over the water, it lighted on the head
of a frog, which snapped at it viciously,
taking it>for a fly. In an instant l threw Q
1oose around his neck with the line, just As
