Novel Combat of sparrows.

A desperate and bloody fight between
two English sparrows took place In front
of the Presidents house this afternoon
shortly before dark A crowd of over o
hundred people formed ring around the
combatants and watched the struggle,
which only terminated by the intervention
OF electricity. There is an electric light
Just in front OF the Executive Mansion,
and by curious chance two sparrows got
into the glass globe that encircles the car
bon points. They fought savagely for
over twenty-five minutes, and as they pecked
at each other In their elevated arena their
frequent chlrps of rage and pain
could be distinctly heard upon the side
walk. Finally the electric pght flashed In
the globe, and the feathery sluggers were
for an instant completely knocked out by
the sudden shock. Both birds remained
motionless in the bottom Of the globe for
about minute, until one recovered and
flew out. The other was supposed 10 be
dead, and the crowd was about to disperse.
He suddenly showed signs of life, and after
series OF struggles aud llutters he
eventually scrambled up TO the edge OF the
globe, lie rested there for an instant, aud
then few away to neighboring tree amid
hearty applause from the SPECTATORS

"The sensations of jury service on a
murder case are decidedly peculiar"
said man who served on the Colbert
case. "At least they were so in my
case. / wouldn't go through 1t again
for anything in the world. The doubt
that is in your mind through the trial;
the recollection of the oath you have
taken; opposed TO the feeling of horror
al causing the death of fellow being,
are enough to throw almost any man
into decidedly uncomfortable mental
state, When You come down out of the
jury.room you are prepared for the ver-
diet, guilty as indicted" yet when the
foreman pronounces them a shock goes
clear through you, I've no doubt that
there are many cases in which the pris
oncr feels less emotion during the trial
than the jurors do, for they have passed
through so much In the affair that their
sensibillties have become blunted, while
the juror is strung 10 the highest ner-
yons pitch Of responsibility.

The woman suffragists.

WASHINGTON, January 21.-The open
ing session of the annual convention of
the National Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton was held this morning. Many
prominent workers in the movement
were present, including Abigail Scott
Dunaway, of Oregon. Susan B. Anthony
presided, who spoke hopefully of the
progress of the movement and its ulti-
mate success. She was followed by A.
G. Riddle, of Washington.
Miss Anthony was followed by Mr..
Riddle and Senator Blair. Tho latter
referred in words Of high commentator
to the recent work at the polls OF women
in Boston in rescuing our public schools.
"We thought the Republican party
should make itself the champion of this
great movement, and should make
universal suffrage an important plank in
its platform"
A resolution was adopted providing fol
a committee to memorialize Congress tc
the end that women might be recognized
and allowed to participate in the cere'
monies of the coming centennial celebra
tions.
The Rev. Olympia Brown. of Wiscon
sin, spoke on foreign rule and said that
while not opposed to foreign immigra
ton, she thought it a mistake to confer
upon foreigners advantages which are
not given to the native born citizens
Foreigners were allowed to vote too soor

The Supervisors order 1t Torn
Down at once.
A short time since the HERALD called
attention to the dangerous condition Of
the retaining wall of the County Jail.
Although some of the other papers
thought there was not much danger in
the situation the Supervisors employed
an expert, surveyor Eaton, to examine
the wall, and yesterday he reported as
follows
In compliance with your request 1
examined the brick retaining wall on the
south side Of the County Jail lot and
found the easterly half depending entirely
on timber braces for support and the
westerly end retained by anchor bolts
The entire structure is so badly bulged,
cracked and distorted that it will have to
be torn down and rebuilt on plan of
sufficient stability to retain loose back
filling. Any attempt to save the present
work by anchoring will fail even if but
tresses are built, as the bond of the ma
sonry will be destroyed in restoring the
wall to its original position, when it would
offer but little if any more resistance than
vertical dry wall of the same thickness.
| The Board of Supervisors ordered the
wall torn down ana replaced at once.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD |
WASHINGTON, January 81. - At the
State Department and German Legation
there is considerable anxiety and appre-
hension concerning the state of affairs at
Samoa. The German Minister avoids
all interviewers. Secretary Bayard says
the State Department has not received
any information of an alarming charac-
ter from Samoa since he transmitted all
correspondence on the subject to Con-
gress last week. Subsequent dispatches,
he says, are rather of reassuring
nature. "The lives and property and
treaty rights OF all Americans" said the
Secretary, "will be protected, and so
will the Samoans in their right to self
government without any interference
from without"
NEW YORK, January 21.-Admiral Ger
hardi says in case of war with Germany
over Samoa, the scene OF operations will
probably be confined to that island, and
although our navy is weaker than Ger
many's we would have decided advan-
tage in being able to throw larger body
of troops on the ground much quicker
than Germany.
WASHINGTON, January 2l.-It is said
at the Navy Department that it will take
at least six weeks for the war ships Tren-
ton and Vandalia to make the voyage to
Samoa and that the Nipsic will be the
only United States vessel at that country
from now until after the 4th of March.
No additional information in regard to
the state of affairs in Samoa has been
received by the State Department.

States Minister, held conference to-day

recently detached by orders from the
Navy Department in consequence OF the
expiration OF their term of sea service,
but in view of the prospect of active
service in Samoan waters, they asked to
be allowed to remain with their ship and
at their urgent request, the orders de-
taching them were revoked.

Gate, en- route to Samoa, this morning at
