BrOods of Chinese Birds.

Last fall DR.. W. O. Blaisdell, of
Macomb, secured from Oregon two pairs
of Chinese pheasants and turned them
loose to go forth and multiply their kind
on the face of the earth in general, but
in McDonough County in particular.
Eight years ago the State Board of Agri-
culture of Oregon imported from China
eleven of these species of grouse, and
with the protection of the game laws of
that State they have inceeased to nearly
million. These birds are about as
large as common prairie chicken, of
beautiful plumage, and their flesh is
superior in every respect for the table to
the quail or common American grouse.
They yearly hatch three broods of fifteen
birds each, and seem particularly well
adapted to our climate. They furnish
good shooting and are much more diff
cult to kill than quail, pigeons or wood

Extra Session Talk.

The revival of the extra session talk
occasions considerable surprise, for the
reason that when congress adjourned it was
generally understood that there would be
no extra session. And it is prob able that
there will be none unless the elections
yesterday gave the democrats control of the
next House. In that event there is not
much reason to doubt that an extra session
will be called, not to pass the force bill,
though that measure is still on the repub-
hcan programme, but to make sure OF the
passage of an apportionment bill.
The republicans regard it as important
that this congress snail pass an apportion-
inent bill whether they have control of the
next House or not, and in order to make
sure Of its passage is the purp Of an extra
session.
The apportionment that is to be made on
the basis Of the new census is. of course,
closely connected with the next presidential
election, and the republicans see a political
advantage in making an apportionment to
suit themselves. The next House may be
democratic, and if 1t should be, anu the
work Of making the apportlonment were
left to the next congress the republicans
would not be able to apportion the repre-
sentatives to suit themselves.
1t was thought that the Pres dent would
call an extra session before he went o
indianapolis, but he did not, and now it is
asserted that he will call it as soon as he
re urns, unless something occurs to cause
him to change his mini.
1t would not be an easy matter to get a
quorum of either the House or the Senate
at this season of the year. Most of the SEN
ators and representatives are now at their
homes. which they do not want to leave,
and will not leave until the meeting of the
regular session in December, if they can
avoid doing so. However, the republican
leaders would use the party whip freely,
and might get enough of their own mem
bers to do business. They have a majority
Of about thirty now, owing to their out
rageously PARTISAN decisions ia contested
election cases. They turned democrats out
of their seats and filled their places with re-
publicans In efficient numbers to give
them majority they could depend upon
to carry through any scheme they might
favor.
II there should be an extra session the
force bill. no doubt, would be taken up and
passed Notwithstanding the protests against
it from all parts of the country. and from
men Of nearly all occupations. If an extra
session should be called, however, there
would not be much time for business before
| the regular session, even if it should bt
called for a very early day.

me election in chatnana county.


There were two very noticeable features
! in Yesterdays election in this county. One
was the almost total absence Of the old-tIme
country darky, who, in days gone by,
/ firmly believed the government would give
I him "forty acres and a mule" if he voted
the republican ticket, aud the other was the
large increase in the number of the young
white voters. There were more we'll
dressed, business looking young men voting
yesterday than al any previous election IN
this county. They went to the polls, voted,
and went on their way to their business.
They showed no inclination to stand around
the polls They are the young democracy
of the county, and the party has reason to
be proud of them.
The cOlored people took very little in
terest in the election. Although there was
pretty large crowd of them about the
polls all day. their apathy indicated that
they cared nothing for either candidate

Yesterdays Elections.

Our dispatches indicate that the elections
yesterday were generally favorable 70 the
democrats. 1t will be several days, howeve-,
before it will be possible TO determine sa'i'-
factorily whether the democrats or Eeoubl!-
cans have a majority In the next House.
While both parties have been claiming q
maj ority. neither expects a large majority,
and it is quite certain that the majority
whether the democrats or republicans have
it, is small
In the sou 'hern states nearly al the DEM
oeratic congressional candidates are elected.
Il this state a full democratic dele cation
is cleo e.. In Alabama, also, every con-
greSsional district went democratic, and
such will be found to have been the case
probably in other s)uthera states. AT this
time it seems pretty safe to say that the
next House will lie democratic.
OF course Tammany was victorious in
New York city, and the democrats made
gains throughout New York stare aud in
New England, particularly in New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts,.
In Pennsylvania there was a very excit-
ing campaign, notwithstanding the fact
toaU tne state was TepuOlicdu AZ Sne Aao
presidential election by $1,000 majority, and
although the republicans ella IN they carried
it yesterday by $1,000 majority it is prob
able that the majority will be found to be
much smaller.
In the west the democrats made gains in
some Of the states. and in others the repub-
licans appear 10 have made successful
campaigns Under the recent apportion-
ment of Ohio, McKinley's district
is supposed to be democratic, but an extra
ordinary effort was made to eject him, and
he made gains over Gov. Campbells vote Of
last year in many of the precincts. His
gains may have been great enough to elect
him. In Kansas the democrats made gains,
but whether enough to avail them anything
can be determined only by the full returns.
At o'clock this morning the returns in
dicated that the democrats had gained
enough congressman to give them fair
majority of the next House.

problem to solve. An affidavit has been
filed ask ng for an examination Of j. Reg

ness in a lioel suit brought by Grosvenor
Hood Graeme against the Globe, on account
of an alleged insinuation in the paper that
Graene might have had something to do
with the murder of Benwel This motion
is to be resisted on the ground that Birchall
is at present legally ami civilly dead to the
law. and that therefore his testimony is
valueless. Meanwhile the legal decedent
continues his hilarious game of leap-frog

Position of the Pone.

Lately the pope has disseminated an
encyclical letter which is OF unusual inter
est. Il is written in italian by the pope
himself, and is addressed to the bishops of
Italy. Its contents have only Just been
made known to the public. Referring to
the many attacks which have been made on
the church Of late years, the pontiff draws
special attention to the homage which has
been paid to the agnostic Girodano Bruno.
"It would be folly for us TO close our eyes
to the gravity of the situation" he says.
'Our apostolic duty bids us protest against
the many onslauglts that are being made
in Italy on religion Speaking of the dau-
gers of socialism, he says that owing to the
strength of its organization, it can olly
be successfully opposed by a thorou yh
union of all the conservativ We
elements of society, aud that true religion
Is the best rampant against the fury of law
less moDs. "Enmity toward the Holy See, .
he continues, sis fraught with the greatest
dangers for Italy. Lick of harm my be
tween the Italian officials aad the true Ital-
ian Catholics will be the result. From this
discord will ensue e prolonged religion
warfare. How different would be- the con-
dition of affairs if the church were allowed
full liberty and the IL hampered enjoyment
of her rights. Reconciled to the Pope, and
faithful TO her ancient religion, Italy would
then be truly great, and nothing would
hinder her from pursuing a glorious career
to the end" Concludi g, the pope says that
t@o governments in r me are impossible,
and that if the world wishes the Holy See
+ to exercise as heretofore its influences for
good" Rome shou d be given back to the
pope. 1t seems that the Italian government
fully agrees with the pontif on one point.
And that is that there can be but one gov
eminent in r me.

The "old Roman BANQUET.

The banquet that is to bs given TO Allen
g. Thurman on Nov. Is at Columbus. o.,
by the Thurman Club, will be one of the
most interesting social events thai have
ever occurred in this country. Nov. Is is
Mr.. Thur mans nth birthday anniversary,
and it will be long rem embered by those
who take part in the banquet. As many as
IL. 900 invitations have beel sent out, aud
the indications are that a very large part of
them will be accepted. Responses have
been received from many of those invited
expressing an intention TO he present.
Some of the most distinguished demo-
Gratis of the country will respond to the
toasts, and the toasts have been selected
with the view that nothing shall be said
that will offend tha guests whose political
views are not in accord with those of the
distinguished democrat ia whose honor the
banquet is given.
Mir. Thurman, although very old man,
and great sufferer from rheumatism, is
still quite active, and his mind is as
clear and strong as ever it was.
There are few men in the countr '
who are held in as high esteem as he, and
there are few whose public and private life
has been as blameless as his. He has served
the country we'll, ami has been faithful to
the principles of his party. In his old age
he has the respect of men of all parties
whose respect is worth having, and this is
undoubtedly source of the greatest salts
faction to him.

Chicago hog maguates are to build town
OF their own. Details of an immense deal
in real estate by the great packing firms of
Armour & Co., Swift & Co. and Morris g.
Co. are made public this morning. They
have purchased 5000 acres of land at the
southern end of Lake Michigan, in Lake
county, Indiana, and will remove their i'm
mense plants to that point, where they will
establish vast manufacturing center.
These three firms alone do business

others In the same and similar lines
of business who will be drawn there, will
within the next five years gather at that
point population of 10000 people. Vast
dockage facilities in direct connection with
Lake Michigan, will be furnished by the
Calumet river, which runs through the
center OF the tract. This Is one Of the spe

the enterprise. AT the same time the railroad
facilities are perfect. This new town is tC

Survivors from the colliding vessels OF
Barnegat say that they were sighted when
FIVE miles apart. For some reason uuex-
planned, the steamer failed to get out of the
sailing vessels course. and the captain of
the latter. having the right of way, kept on
expecting the steamer to turn until it was
too lac to avoid collision. That is the
explanation given by the officers of the

anything is done about it.
