GOVERNOR HILL has never taken the
first steps to indicate his acceptance of
the position Of United States senator
that the last legislature conferred on
him. The records of the United States
senate, since the establishment of the
government, fail to show another case
of a senator unquestionably elected who
withheld his credentials so long as Gov
ernor Hill has done. So far as the Of
fetal roster of the senate shows, there
is only one senator in the state of New
York-Mr Hiscock-and the secretary
of the senate has lying in his safe I'M
claimed over So 900 and mileage appro-
priated for a senator from New York.
Should he now decline, Senator-elect
David Bennett Hill will have to notify
Governor David Bennett Hill officially
that he declines to accept the office of
United States senator, which Governor
| Hill has notified him that he was duly
elected. 1t will then become the duty
of Governor Hill, the legislature not
being in session and legal vacancy
being brought to his official knowledge,
to appoint a United States senator for
the state of New York, to serve from
March 4th last until the legislature in
the following January can fill the va
cancy in proper form.

THE republicans are sending campaign
specimens of tin-plate around, accom-
panied by the statement that it wal
made by Major Mckinley personally
The major certainly is not a skilled
workman. If he without any previous
experience can make tin-plate, why
should the alleged manufacturers Of tin
plate wish to import skilled workmen
from abroad to do this work? There is
nothing but humbuggery in this tin
plate Question, view it from any stand
point you please, and the American
users of tin in its various forms are to-
day paying out great deal of money on
account of the increase in the price of
tin-plate, made necessary by the McKin-
ley tariff, than will be necessary to pay
the wages of all the American labor that
will be employed in the tin-plate indus
try for five years to come.

a pathetic comment upon the hard
struggle for existence in New York were
the las words of little Jack German.
who died in Chambers street hospital
the other night as result of having
been severely mongled by a Broadway
car. One arm had been amputated and he
was in great suffering. His mother was
admitted to see him. His face brighten
ed as she approached him and he said:
The money is in my covt pocket, man.
ma" Then he sank back upon his pillow
and died without again speaking.
Stronger than his fear of 1.-The shadow
OF DEATH" were his loving thoughts for
the welfare of the dear ones he was to
leave behind. OF such stuff as ''little
Jack" heroes are made.

Cast Iron Tunnels.

Two tunnels of cast iron for an cleo
trio railway have been built in London
and put in operation for rapid transit.
They are three miles in length and lie
between forty and sixty feet below the
surface of the citys streets. The tun-
nels for the up and down lines are
formed of cast iron from beginning to
end, save where the stations are built,
and their diameter is ten and ten and
one-half feet, the tubes being formed Of
rings one foot seven inches long, made
in sections and bolted together. The
tunnels were driven by means of short
cylinder a trifle larger in its inner diam
eter than the exterior diameter of the
cast-iron trrnel lining. This cylinder
has cutting edge, and is forced for
ward by hydraulic jacks butting a
circular way into which the lining
plates are fitted, the narrow space be-
tween the lining and the soil being
filled with lime cement forced in under
high pressure. In their course the tun-
nels pass beneath the bed of the Thames
and through the bed of an old water
course where loose wet gravel offered
some trying obstacles to be overcome.

RIDING ON A SHARK.
Daring Feat Of a California Swim
ming Teacher.
He Mounts Big Sea Monster and Shows
Conclusively the Harmlessness of
Gigantic Member of the Bask-
ing Shark Family.

That man should take a ride on
live sharks back, apparently with all
the delight of wild cowboy breaking
in an unruly mustang, would be diff
cult to believe, unless circumstances
were presented to verify it.
For the past few years the fishermen
in the northern part of Monterey bay,
near Santa Cruz, have been greatly an
noyed by basking sharks. These
sharks, while in search of food, often
run into the nets of fishermen, and in
thrashing about and trying to escape
from the meshes which enfold them,
tear the nets and injure them SO that
the fishermen at times suffer the loss of
hundreds of dollars. Sometimes q shark
struggles about SO much in the water as
to wrap the nets around it In such a
manner that escape is impossible, and
the huge fish dies from the eShaus-
ton produced by its wild efforts to get
free.
A few days ago, says writer in the
San Francisco Chronicle, a hinge baslS-
ing shark, about thirty or forty feet
long, became entangled in the nets of
some fishermen off Sequel point, about
four miles from Santa Cruz. The shark,
still alive and embodied in the nets, was
lowed by the fishermen in boats to the
wharf at Capitola. Its arrival created
great excitement among the visitors at
that resort. No amount OF assurance

on the part of the proprietors Of the
hotels or the fishermen that basl1ing
sharks were not man-eaters, and that
many had been caught with no accident
happening, could entirely quiet the
fears of the visitors, and bathing was
almost given up.
Some ocular demonstration of the
fact that basking shark was harmless
therefore became necessary. Swim
ming Teacher Swanson, Of the Capitola
baths, then determined to give an eX-
hibition with the shark which should
convince the most timid. A performance
followed, the like of which no man
ever participated in before. Swanson
Iput on bathing suit and swan to the
wharf where the partially exhausted
monster lay, still partly wrapped in the
torn and tangled fishing nets. Slowly
approaching the gasping yet cnraged
monster, a whale in size if not in
species, Swapson swan close to his
side and then clambered slowly on top

as the shark lay almost entirely under
water. Sitting astride the huge fish
