SPRINGER HEADING MILLS.
The Iliinoisan's Strength Believed to
Have Been Underestimated.

Have Been Underestimated.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The situation
in the speakership contest has been suf-
hciently disclosed to make it certain
tain that Mr.. Mills strength has
been greatly overestimated and
that that of Mr.. Springer has
been underestimate. A very large
proportion of the votes from the West
that have been claimed for Mills will
go to Springer. Mr., Mills may possibly
lead Springer by eight votes on the
flrst ballot, but the chances are that
Springer will pass him ON the second
ballot. Mr., Springer's friends count
on hfty votes on the first ballot If he
gets that many he will be ahead of
Mills. A conservative estimate based
on reliable information at this time
gives Mills 43 votes, Springer 45, and
McMillin .

a Large Blackfisli.

Mrs. T. l.. Watson takes the prize for
big blackfish caught in Black Rock har-
Dor this year and for many other years
also. General t. l.. Watson, T. w.
Pearsall, Mrs. Watson and Captain O.
Pentield were fishing Friday off the
spindle neal Penield reef. Mrs. Watson
was using a light rod, and suddenly her
line was struck by something of unusual
size. She pulled in till the rod bent
nearly double, and then, declining as
sistance, passed the rod back, as the fish
could not be lifted by it, and pulled in
at the line "hand over hand"
The line was light but it held, and
she brought to the surface and safely
landed in the boat a blackfish, which
being taken ashore and immediately
weighed, pulled down the scale at seven
pounds plump. Captain Penfeld says it
is the biggest blacktish caught il Black

Albani Singing in Russia.

What Nine. Albani related to her in
terviewer as one of her most remarkable
experiences was her treatment in Russia
at the royal marriage, where the singers,
she observed, are all considered as serv-
ants. "Well," she says, sit was most
strange. We were all put in a sort of
balcony which looked down upon the
b~anqueting scene below, and as each of
u turns came to sing we went to a
little opening and sang through it. What
amused me was this, that all the time
we We're trying to sing our best and pro-
duce our notes more effectively, the clat-
ter of knives and forks still went on, and
to make all complete, the singer might
be in a most impressive passage and
right in the midseof it, when, quite re-
gardless of the accomplishing singers,
there would be flourish of trumpets and
somebody would get up and propose a
toast. | was more fortunate han Mime.
