Now the Europeans employ elephants in
their armies in the East. The British
soldier elephants in India today however,
are not fighters. They are workers; they
bear the baggage and drag the heavy
cannon.
Not long ago seventeen raw recruits"
were shipped from Rangoon to Madras.
Most of them were newly captured animals
purchased for the government of India up
in the country of British Burmah. One by
one these huge animals were boosted from
the wharf in q great sling and lowered into
the hold of the ship, as shown in the ac-
companying picture from Little Men and
Women, which gives it's readers the inter
esting facts here quoted. The elephants
did not like going to sea in that way at all.
They struggled nightly. They roared.
They grabbed at the rigging with their
trunks as they were siung up i'll midair.
And then down in the hold they were so
furious that it was mora difficult TO get
them out of the sling than it had been to
get them in.

EXTERMINATE THE DENs,
And Then Citizens May Walk the Public
Streets with Safety.

William Holt, colored man living in
the northwestern part of the city, while
on his way to work early yesterday
morning, was accosted by three men on
Center street. One of them asked him
for chew of tobacco, and in attempting
to get the plug out of his pocket his
pocket rule was exposed. 1t was dark
and one of the men ased him if it was
not knife. lie replied no, and almost
instantly received a blow between the
eyes which felled him to the ground.
The robbers then rflied his pockets,
stealing 81, and Invested him of his
overcoat. They made off before he re-
covered, and consequently could identify
neither of them. He thinks they were
white men or light mulattos.
Holt reported the matter to the chief
of police yesterday, and tho officers
were looking out for the parties all day,
but without success.
They are supposed to belong to a

WORK IN THE SENATE.
The Copyright BID Receives Hard Blows
at the Hands of Democrats.

WAsHNGroN, Feb. 13.-[Spcial] l.
The Senate to-day took up the consular
and diplomatic bill, and displaced it
later with the copyright bill. Senator
Daniel criticized tho bill, particularly
that provision which requires foreign
author having copyright in the United
States to publish his work stimuli
tancously in foreign country and in
this country, and which subjects Amcri-
can authors to reciprocal arrangement.
Senaror Vance also criticized tho bill.
He would rather be the means of placing
book printed and published and sold
cheap in the hands of one poor, ambi-
tious boy that would stimulate him to
greater cxcrtions than of placing mil
lion dollars in the pockets of the IIar-
pers by the passage of Il copyright bill
scheme to make man pay dollar
for book which he could now get for
five cents, was quite as dishonest as Il
scheme to appropriate the work of an
other mans brain.
The bill was laid aside without action
The Senate adjourned on learning of
the death of Admiral Porter.

Tired of the Deadlock.

SPRINGFIELD, Feb. 10 Spcciall-
The Republican party went to pieces in
joint assembly to-day. The Republican
steering committee, when tho first roll
call was ordered for the first ballot,
attempted to spring little surprise.
Instead OF continuing for Lindley, the
mandate was circulated that the presi-
dent of the +. NJ Il. a. should be drop
ped, and the name of Richard j.
Oglcsby, the regular party nominee,
substituted.
Many Republicans, who had not been
consulted in the proposed change of the
programme, repudiated the mandate of
the steering committee, and voted their
individual preferences.
The two members of the +. NJ Il. A.,
Of Democratic proclivities, threaten
that after today they will withdraw
and, if conclusion is not reached, will
then support Palmer.

THE STATE ALLIANCE.
1925 Local Bodies, and Over
10000 Members.

RICHMOND, Feb. Ia Special The
Richmond Howitzers, Battery and Vet
Gran Association, and Leo Camp, Con-
federate veterans, will return tomorrow
from thier New Orleans trip. The party,
which numbers over one hundred, and
contains some twenty-five or thirty
ladies, left here week ago to-day, and
people never had = better time perhaps.
The Howitzers were guests of the Wash
ington artillery, and the Lee Camp dele
cation of the Louisiana division, So
ciety of the Army of Northern Virginia.
A very attention has been paid tho pill
grims from Virginia's capital, and they
have been kept in perfect round Of
gayety all the time. They will be met
at the depot tomorrow by the stay-at-
home contingent of the Howitzers, the
Blues, and the Grays, and will be given
a hearty welcome. The home contin-
gent had hoped that they would arrive
at night, SO as to havo a fireworks dis
play.
The State executive committee of the
Farmers Alliance was in session here
for two days this week, and after q pro-
!onged consideration of that question
decided to break the gap in the organiza-
ton between the county and State al
liances by having district bodies-that
is, the county alliances will be grouped
by Congressional districts. The al
lance is growing very rapidly in Vir-
ginia. There are 1885 local bodies and
over 10000 members. The latter figure
will greatly increase by fall, and this
will be an army of great weight in the
political war. 1t is pretty we'll under
stood that railroad reformation will be
made one Of the leading issues of the
canvass, and bill bearing on this sub
ject will probably be prepared in the
convention that meets here in August.
a great many people went from here
up to Ashland yesterday to attend the
funeral of Richard +. Beirne, who was
one of the brightest ornaments to Vir-
GINA journalism. There was an entire
suspension of business in the little
town where he had lived so long and
great gloom prevailed. His body was
brought to Richmond and temporarily
placed in vault in Hollywood.
1 he Richmond and Chesapeake rail
road has been recognized with new
men at the head, and the assurance is
again given that the road will soon be
built to the Chesapeake bay and that
the tunnel under Eighth street will be
completed.

In the Senate on the 18th long discussion
arose over the approval Of the journal. The
elections bill was taken up and Mr.. George
spoke at length in opposition, but before he
concluded yielded to motion to adjourn in
order that members might attend the funeral
OF George Bancroft, the historian. The
House INDUCED in a lively tilt over the ap.
proval of the journal, the tactics being on
the part OF the Democrats to do as little as
possible while the Senate was forcing the
Issue on the elections bill After a long and
confused discussion tho journal was ap.
proved by vote of l3T to lol and the House
adjourned.
AT the expiration of the morning hour on
the goth Mr.. Aldrich asked that the Senate
proceed to consider the resolution for
change of the rules. The motion was agreed
20 and the discussion continued until 2
O'Clock, when the elections Dill came up as
the regular order and Mr.. George continued
spoken at great length the Senate got into a
Bquabble and finally adjourned. >. The
House got into big rumpus over approving
the journal, but il was finally approved and

quorum soon disappeared and the House
adjourned.
THE Senate on the 2Ist wrangled all day
over the approval of the Journal, and a fight
on the part of the Democrats against the
elections bill and the adoption of the closure
rule, and at midnight adjourned without ac-
complishfng any thing. The House had a
stormy session. Mr.. Mills (Texas) was es-
pecially severe upon the Speaker, and the
proceedings were turbulent, but the journal
was finally approved, and the District of CO.
lumbia bill was taken up and finally reported
to the House. but when q vote was reached
the Democrats left the House and, no quorum
being present, an adjournment was forced.
WHEN the Senate met on the 22d no quorum
was present, but within a half hour a suffi-
cient number of Senators appeared and the
light on the change of rules was resumed,
which continued until 1t was finally agreed
to take recess until next morning. e. The
proceedings of the House were less disorder
iy than the day before, and the District of
Columbia bill was finally passed, and the
naval appropriation bill taken up and con-
sidered until adjournment.
THE Senate met at IL o'clock on the 23d in
continuation of the session of the day before
and Mr. Cockrell continued his speech in op-
position to the proposed "gag rule" Mr..
Gray also spoke in opposition and Mr..
Stewart took the floor and the Senate took
recess. The House spent much time in ap-
proval of the journal, demand being made
for its reading in full. Mr.. Cooper Qnd. rising
to question of privilege had a resolution
read he offered last September calling for
an investigation of the office of Pension Com
missioner and as the select committee had
failed to report to the House, he asked that
1t be requested to do So A long discussion
followed, and the original resolution of Mr..
Cooper for an investigation was referred to
the Committee on Rules. After considering
the naval appropriations bill for some time
the House adjourned.
