Sea Cows on a Yacht.

From the Baltimore American.
The schooner yacht Nanatee, Capt.
J. w. Zellin owner, arrived here yes
terday from Washington. She has
on board two specimens of the man.
atus, or sea COW, captured in Indian
river, Fla, in 1887, with rope nets,
and which have since become almost
domesticated, being gentle and harm
less. They are left in tanks, one on
each side of the deck of the yacht.
The animals live in fresh or salt
water and feed on vegetable sub
stances entirely, their food when at
large being principally sea grass, and
in captivity cabbage, potatoes or
almost any vegetable substance.
1t was the intention of Capt. Zellin to
exhibit these curiosities but the
weather is getting too cool, and he
leaves with them this afternoon for
Florida. The monsters together
weigh over 800 pounds. They are s
feet long, 2 feet wide and IA inches
deep by actual measurement with
a tail like q two-bladed propeller, 2
feet in diameter. They have noses
and mouths like cows, and their skin
resembles to the touch India rubber,
over which is coarse hair, thinly scat
tered. They are 30 tame that they
will eat from the hand.

A Man on the Spot in Regard to
Stanley and BartelOt.
CHICAGO, Ills, November la
local paper has an interview with
Captain J. Stanhope, who recently ar
rived in this city from Africa, and re-
garding the Stanley Bartelot unpleas-
antness, Stanhope, while saying he
was not familiar with the nature OF
the trouble between the two men,
was Inclined to be strongly with
Stanley. "It is understood"
said Stanhope, ''that Major
Bartelot was never the equal of Stan
ley, who made new passages through
untried countries, while Bartelot only
traversed the beaten paths of other
explorers. Stanley is known in
Africa to have accepted every
situation under equal conditions with
his men-successes and privations
were shared alike. The great secret
OF it all is that Major Barte lot was
insanely jealous of Stanley"
Capt. Stanhope added that he
knew, as all Africa did, that Barte-
lots treatment of the natives was
awful; that he expected an undue
amount of military precision from
them, and that his treatment caused
numerous rebellions among them
which called for the most severe dis
ciplInary measures.

resources developing by union OF
Southern effort and Northern capital,
certain politicians, actuated by the

between the North and the South by
proposing what is popularity known as
"the force bill, Federal election law

1t appears that man named Wilkin-

the pension and bounty claims business,

the little village of Mount Carmel in
This State, and the junior partner hay-l
ing one in Washington, and looking

father is Commissioner and one OF his
brothers q clerk The firm is advertise
ing over Illinois and probably over the
country.
1t is not at all probable that Messrs.
Wilkinson & Raum have any special
facilities for getting business attended
to at the Pension Bureau. 1t would be
hazardous to favor them at the expense
Of other claim agents. Still, the name
Of public officer is being used to get
business for firm of which his son is
one of the members. The old soldiers
will believe that an agent who is so near
to the Com missioner must have advan-
tages which others do not possess. 1t
comes close, therefore, to being case Of
getting business under false pretenses.
A son who had any delicacysof feeling
would not do any thing which would
subject his father to unjust but natural
suspicious. A father who cared much
for his good name would not tolerate
for moment the attempt on the part
of a son to trade on it. The Nom bers Of
the Raum family seem to have thick
hides, however and they may not mind
what the outside world is saying SO long
as the cash comes in.
General Raum went into Office under
! favorable circumstances. He had made
good record in the Internal Revenue
Bureau He succeeded the surplus
buster" Tanner, whose administration
Of the Office had been marked by irreg-
ularities, such as the rerating Of PEN
sions, but for some time back the pres
emit incumbent has been the object of
charges in and out Of Congress, and to
some Of them he has male no reply. So
far as these accusations limited at mis-
conduct nobody who knew him be-
lieved them. When he was accused of
peddling out among his clerks the stock
of a company in which he was inter-
ested he denied it, and his denial was
believed.
But in the light of this unrebuked APP
pearance of his SON as pension agent
at a time when the business, owing to
the passage of the dependent act, is to
be most profitable one, 1t is difficult
to see how'far General Raum's denials
of past charges can be given much
weight. He has shown too plainly that
he has not a high standard of official
proprie ty-that he is willing to put up
with suspicion and distrust, SO that
some memb Der of his family may make
little money out of the old soldiers.

after an examination, told him that 1t

In his ear drum, he said that he sup
posed that he would never be able to

lar notion that when the drum head Is
broken 1t gives no sound.
"After some Persuasion he consented
to the necessary operation, and, cutting
both ear drums, removed the accumus
