Southern Sea Birds.

Suppose you are in an Indisman out
ward bound. After passing through
the tropics and out of the influence of
the t.sde winds, your aim is to get down
south as soon as possible into the lati-
tude og the belt Of westerly winds which
extends from about 40 degrees to the
South Pole. This is the region where
aibatrosses, Cape hens and Cape pigeons
abound. The pigeons meet you long
before the others make their appearance.
Nothing is easier than to catch them If
the vessel Is becaImed.
In shape and size they resemble an
ordinary pigeon except, of course, chat
they have webbed feet ike ducks. They
bite greediIy at morsels Of pork stuck
on small ish-hooks. Jack captures
them for sport. He skins them and
salts the skins, and when he gets them
home he sells them to taxidermists.
Their plumage is very beautiful.
The meat OF the Cape pigeon is
strong; 1t has an ancient fishNlike smell,
but Jack devours it, as he does nearly
everything that comes into his clutches.
The Cape hen is brownish bird as big
as an average turkey He is bold anu
ravenous as a carrion crow. No gsrb~
age is too unclean for him. He watches
greedily for any stray "manavelings''
thrown overheard, fragments of biscuit
or entrails Of fowls being snapped W
with avidity. They are not difficult tC
capture, but as they are powerful brute'
1t takes a strong cod hook and line tC
haul them In. When once on deck they
fight like devils, Their flesh is too fou
even for hungry sailor. / never YET
met a man with nerve enough TO eai
one.
IL is impossible TO catch su a!batrHs
with hook and line. This robIe birC
despis5s garbage and succumbs not [,

with pork. / believe he lives on fish
have never seen him eat, though u,
same albatross has followed my shil
for days, circling around the vessel il
majestic curves and sweeps, cleavini
the air seemingly without exertion.
/ have known albatrosses to be caugh
on an outward passage, but they hav
always biundered aboard when the shi
has beer Gained. I have kept them Il
a hencoop for several days, but they vii
not eat; their hearts seem broken, ant
they soon pine TO death. When prop
erly mounted by taxidsrmist they ar
very handsome.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.-Fifteen thou
sand people were present at Belm on
park today to witness the attempt of the
stallion Palo Alto and the trotting mare
Sunol to lower their records. Neither
the stallion nor the mare succeeded, the
mare making it in 2:1134, an unfortun-
ate break marring her performance, and
Palo Alto trctting the distance in 2:1211.
The trotter Alfred S., in match race
with Maggie B., made mile to wagon
in 2:l64, coming within half second
of HopefuPs wagon record of :164.
The racing commenced with a match
race, best two in three, between Alfred
S. and Maggie B., the former being to a
wagon and the latter to harness. The
first heat was won by Alfred s. in 2:21.
Maggie B. broke badly near the first
quarter post, in the second heat, and
Alfred won the next heat in 2163d, and
the race.
Then Sunol's trial race against time
was called. After scoring once the word
was given, and the fast mare began her
race. She made the quarter in 3OA
seconds and maintained her speed until
near the half-mile post, when she left
her feet. She settled down again when
she reached the half-mile post and trot-
ted the last half without a skip. She
was joined by a running horse at the
half-mile, which seemed to help her
along. She made the half in l :O414, the
three-quarters in :3S11a and the mile in
2:11A.
Within few yards of the wire Mar
vim used his whip lightly on Sunol's
shoulder and urged her to go along, and
she evidently did her best. After
alighting from the sulky Marvin ap-
preached the judges stand and said he
would not give the mare another trial.
Although he did not say so, she was ap-
parently somewhat tired A floral collar
was placed around Sunops shapely neck,

Ezeta Forming a Legal Government-In-
cidents of the Recent War.
CRY OF MEXICO, Sept. A dispatch
from San Salvador says: General Ezeta
is engaged in forming legal government
for San Salvador republic, preparatory
to demanding recognition from the for
eign powers"
The following is from letter dated
Guatemala City, August II, giving an
account of battle in San Salvador: At
Casa Blanca the plaza was al
most destroyed and the town
sacked. The American consul, Mr.. Meyer,
was met by Minister Miner (who had
come from Guatemala) at La Libertad,
going to New York, having hid behind
stone bath tub for over thirty hours,
while his house, the consulate and
the city were being sacked by
Ezeta's men. Miner sent officers to
the United States steamship Thetis, to
demand that the United States flag that
had been pulled down and dragged
about the streets be raised and saluted
with twenty-one guns in the presence of
all the American residents, company of
soldiers and band of music, with the
president and all his officers, which was
done Immediately upon the demand of
the officer. The consulate was restored
to the United States consul, with
guarantee of all his official privileges.

and she walked back to the stall amid
the pIaudito of the assemblage.
Then the stallion Palo Alto was
brought on the track. After scoring
three times the word was given to CO.
A running horse joined him at the start
and ran with him to the finish. He
made the mile in 2:121s, within q
quarter of second of his record, with
out skip. The quarter was made in
32L, the half in :05L, three quarters
in 1881, mile in 2:121a.
Marvin declined to give him another
trial. Palo Alto was also decorated with
floral collar. Marvin said the track
was trife heavy, and what wind there
was operated to his disadvantage. Mar
win also said he had calculated to make
the half-mile with Sunol in :03, which
ne would have done but for an unfortu-
nate break.
The opinion was expressed by many
experts present that the mare was driven
off her feet, and that if she had been
held to little slower time on the first
half, she would have done the mile in
2: 10 or better. Many thought also that
Palo Alto should have been given
another trial.
Fred Bonner said today that his father
had almost decided to leave Sunol in
Marvin's charge another year. The
present contract calls for the delivery of
the mare to Bonner in November next.
If Marvin retains charge of her she will
be taken back to California this winter.
Palo Alto and Sunol will probably be
taken to Cincinnati on Saturday next,
where they will trot exhibition miles.

lily. 1t is believed the firm have pretty
we'll protected their interests in this
country, and that their chief losses,
which they think may reach 81, 10000,
will be in London and mainly on their
pork dealings. A statement of liabilities
and assets will be made as soon as pos
sible.
The house on Wall street say the
cause of the failure was the result of
efforts made by the firm to squelch
competition in the commission business
by doing commission business
with European speculators without
margin and small commission.
In pork deal last January
the firm is said to have sustained
"a loss of 81 100000. Claims for these
losses against European spectators are
among the nominal assets. 1t is esti-
mated that the sum total of nominal
assets will reach $l,750,00O. The firm
has undoubtedly immense holdings of
merchandise in the various products in
which they dealt, both in the export
and import way. 1t will, however, take
some time to realize ON these hold ings.

While colored excursion was on its

declared most righteously that there
could not be in a republic duty more
sacred than the duty of upholding the
right of every citizen to participate in
the government. sThe house, true
to its duty, has passed a
bill which, when it becomes
law will give to the people of the
United States the suffrages of millions
1t will enable votes to be cast and be
counted as cast.
Then Mr.. Reed continued: "Every
inch of our progress has been con-
tested by the opposition, We spent two
months and half in the preliminary
struggles to settle the right of the
majority to control, and in de-
termining the rules of the house
proceedings. We were forced to
spend more time on contested
elections. Our loss of time from con-
tested elections will not be less than 20
days. One other cause of loss of time
will be surprise perhaps to the COM
munity at large. No man would regret
more than I, to be thought wanting in
all proper respect for the dead, and all
proper reverence for departed COM
rades, and for the feelings of surviving
friends. Yet the method by which the
house shows this respect and pays this
reverence is very costly to the nation.
The speaker went on to show that by
the time the house gets through with
eulogies of members who have died dur
ing this session, twenty-one working
days will have been lost.
tie then went on to speak of another
method of obstruction, the calling of the
roll. With $50 members it takes
twenty-five minutes to make roll call.
Whenever the yeas and nays are Or
dered, it means the loss of half an hour.
So far this session we have had four
hundred roll calls, three hundred of these
have been utterly useless, a mere wan
ton waste, and three hundred roll calls
means twenty-five legislative days,
wasted in the mere useless calling of
names, and all done to waste time,
with public business unfinished.
But in closing what have to say, it
would not be just to rest the claims of
the house upon even a catalogue OF its
deeds. What this house has shown the
country, that any house can do, and is
worth a princes ransom. Henceforce
the promise cannot be excused by the
performance. If we have broken
the precedents of an hundred
years, we have set the precedents of
another hundred years, nobler than the
last, wherein responsibility will wait on
power and wherein the people with a
full knowledge that the servants can
act, will choose those who will worthily
carry out their will"

Associated Press Dispatches.

VENTURA, CAL, Sept. 4.-The sixth
congressional district Republican con-
vention was promptly called to order at
2 p. M, by the chairman, John Brown,
jr. The hall had been rapidly filling up
for some time, and at the time of open
ing the delegates were nearly all
in their seats. Many ladies had
been given seats on the stage,
among them being several from Los
Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara
and San Bernardino counties. Having
raped for order, the chairman said the
hour to which the convention had ad-
iourned to meet in Ventura, had arrived !;
that he would congratulate the delegates
for their long and faithful service to their
friends the eyes of the district and state
were upon them, and the expressions
throughout had been in praise of the
unanimity of the harmony of the dele
cations, and the chairman hoped and
believed that this harmony would con-
tinue to the end. No such number of
ballots had ever been taken with so
much good humor.
Proxies Name Recorded.
Judge Carpenter, OF Los Angeles, said
several changes had been made in prox-
les, and he moved that the matter be
referred to the committee on credentials.
and that the chairman of the delega-
tions send the names of the proxies and
delegates to the committee.
Heacock, of Santa Barbara, moved as
substitute that the roll be called by the
secretary, and in those counties where
there were no changes, that the roll
should stand as it was that in those
counties where changes had been made
the chairman of the delegates should
call the same, and that the secretary of
the convention should record them.
The substitute was accepted by Judge
Carpenter and was carried unanimously.
The call of counties showed changes
in the delegation from Fresno, Kern,
Los Angeles, Monterey, Mono, Orange,
Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, San
Benito, San Luis Obispo Tulare land
Ventura.
Cheers For Vandever.
This having been done the cry went
up of "Call the roll," but Osborne, of
Los Angeles, being recognized, proposed
that as the convention was now at the
home of General Vapdever, that they
give three hearty cheers in honor OF
that gallant old soldier. They were
given with will, every delegate rising
to his feet.

IIlustriOus Sons.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 4.-Hon. f. F.
Noyes, judge of the superior court of
Cincinnati, fell dead shortly after IL
O'Clock to-day, at the court house. He
had been on the bench, but was too un-
we'll to proceed further. He left the
bench and was on his way to street car
when he suddenly fell backward and
died instantly. The cause of his death
is supposed to have been apoplexy.
Noyes was fifty-seven years old. He en-
tered the army here in 1861 as major of
the 39th Ohio regiment of infantry !;
soon after he was its colonel. On July
4th, 1864, ut Ruff's Mills, Ga, in a
charge upon the enemy, which he led,
he lost leg. He left the army brevet

UNEXPECTED FAILURE,
A Large New York Exporting Firm Goes

New YORK, Sept. 4.-The firm OF Saw

stuffs and cotton and dealers in leaf to-

circles today by making an assignment
to Marshal Ayers. The firm was esti-
mated to be worth between million
and a quarter and a million and
a half dollars above all liabilities;
They were prompt in paying for local
purchases and responded promptly also
when called upon to margin their con-
tracts. A short time ago Miller made a
statement to the effect that the firm
were worth more than $1,000, 900; that
their liabilities were merely nominal,
and that they did a commission business
only. When the announcement OF the
failure was made today, rumorr gained
circulation to the effect that the firm
were Specializing largely OF late in cotton,
and that the market had gone against
them. IT was also said that The firm had
