three monarehies allowing the monar-

ing Swedish chief-justice, and guaran-
teeing the expenses Of the government
does not strike republican as great
diplomatic triumph.
The Swedish chief justice did not ar
rive till the treaty stipulation had al
most expired. Meanwhile Tamasese, the
former king is intriguing, possibly with
the assistance OF Mataafa, the former
agitator against the German aggression,
to displace King Malletoa, who is feeble.
The fact is Samoan affairs, under the
treaty made by Mr. Blaine, are managed
from Berlin with the consent and con
nivance Of the other two monarchies
whose interests are all un-republican ant

It does not seem that there is much O

hut from the scholars who say that the
term is inaccurate as we'll as inappro-
prlate They contend that turtle
is corruption of the French
"tortoise," which in America
is applied too indlscrlminately to birds or
crawling things The ornithologists
contend that turtle in Saxon means
bird, not a reptile.
While the different ologies Of birds and
beasts ware wrangling, Mr.. MeWhorter
arose to maintain with great enthusiasm
and with numerous historical quotations
that the most appropriate and certainly
the best received and most commonly
used designation is that Of "Flitter-
foot Sol. "
Filter, he explains, as in the cases Of
the flltter-mouss aud the filter bat, ie
derived from the verb hutter, to shake,
to wobble, to flop about without rhyme
or reason. But Senator MeWhorter, who
is an original naturalist not to be con.
fined strictly to the exact limits Of the
schoolmen, clsims that the term applies
to the superficial area rather than to the
peculiar motion of the feet Of the beast
By the way Senator McWhorter contends
that the Daily Hersey is not bird at all.
He says that he has examined Audubon's
Birds Of America" with the utmost
care and declares that there is no such
bird mentioned as in existence now or
Of prehistoric renown.
There Is no discussion whatever about
the prefix OF mud F." The whole college
OF savants and scientists, including Dr..
Wales aud Dr.. Shortli5ge, who have been
making some special geological investiga
tions in connection with the Board of
Garbage and It's piggery annex, admit
tha. he Is afraid Of water and hence dis
tinctiyely a land lubber or mud animal
1t really does not make any material
difference whether the Daily Hersey
occupies tank or cage in the Zoo, +"
for no other beast will share with him. and
the only reason for deciding the question
Of species is that the tank or cage may
be labelled for the information of the
young who see him for the irst time.
or course, however, IL any valuable
specimen Is unused to water and his life
is liable to be jeopardized by direct con
tact, the managers should supply cage
no matter whether the scientists place
him in the group Of crawling OF Of
flying things or class him as likely TO do
Il both.

THE New York Tribune scolis the
English bitterly for sending the New
foundlandera to negotiate treaty. with
Mr.. Blaine and then repudiating the
4reaty through Lord Salisbury at tho in
Htigation OF Canada How would It do
for the Tribune to score the great diplo-
matte tycoon who is so busy making
-'triumphs" that he cannot stop to inquire
whether those who come to treat have
the authority they claim. It Is all very
well for Mr.. Blaine TO tickle the fancy Of
