A man went a fishing


A man went fishing
And jug went, too,
And they happened to 60 together
They sat them down
Where the sweet winds blew,
And the sting weeds grew,
And the bull gnats flew
And they seemed to enjoy the weather.
Then the man kissed the Jug
And the jug kissed him.
And they loved on the bank OF the river;
And the man waxed fat
And the jug waned slim,
And they kissed with vim
Till their eyes got dim,
And they swore they'd cling forever.
Then the sun got hot
And the man got sick,
And the jug thought it fine to grumble
SO it slipped down the bank
Where the mud was sic
But the man saw the trick,
And grabbed right quick,
And into the wet did he tumble.

TAMMANY'S FOURTH.

Candidates for the Next speskership to Test
Their Standing.
The Fourth Of July celebration Of Tammany
is looked forward to with deep interest by
the several candidates for the speakership OF
the next House. The politicians outside OF
New York regard this meeting as one of
considerable importance in more ways
than one, but chiefly they are interested in
discovering by the measure of enthusiasm
with which the name Of each is received what
the feeling of Tammany is with regard to GER
tain prominent democrats Nearly all the
speakership candidates are expected to be
there.
The most active rivalry for the New York
delegation is between Crisp, McMillin and
Mills, all OF whom are expected to taik
patriotism to Tammany. Crisp, who has been
chosen to deliver the principal Ions
speech OF the occasion, is supposed to be
stronger in New York than any other
candidate, but the disposition Of the delegation
Is sumciently IN doub, to make s.ti the candi
dates anxious for the opportunity to measure
their strength. All the big democratic poll.
ticians, too, are anxious to see how the name
Of Cleveland will be received at the meeting
McMillin is now in Washington awaiting tie
time to keep his engagement with Tammany
and is believed to be preparing to make tell
ing speech.
Mr.. Bynum was to have been one of the can
didates to attend the celebration. but he sal

CONSUL JAY EWING RESIGNS.

VANCOUVER, b. C., June 26.-Jay Ewing.
American consul here, has sent in his resigns-
ton and recommends as his successor Henry
Harris of Washington state, now temporarily .
resident of Vancouver.
Ewings pronounced anti-British views and
his failure to conduct himself in the manner
generally expected of a gentleman and diplo-
mat made him unpopular that he was COM
pletely boycotted by both business
men and society people. The feeling
eliminated yesterday in the circulation
of petition addressed to Secretary
Blaine and asking for the credit of the United
States that Ewing be recalled. In less than
two hours this petition signed by over
three thousand residents. including the most
prominent men here an all walks of life.
Ewing gained the ill-will Of the public here by
refusing TO respond to the toast Queen Victoria
and President Harrison" because the President
was not mentioned first. The other day on an
excursion on the Canadian Pacific railroad he
cansed the union jack, which hung beside the
stars and stripes, TO be pulled down Since
then the feeling against him has been very
strong.

MORE ROOM WANTED.
Leasing Outside Quarters so as to Better Ac-
commodate the Patent Once.

Leasing Outside Quarters SO as to Better Ac-
commodate the Patent Once.
Two floors in the new building that is being
erected at the northwest corner Of 1Ith and g
streets have been leased by the Interior Depart
ment. About the 1st Of July three divisions Of
the general land office, namely the ac-
counts, private land claims and .
part Of the recorders division will be
removed from the Interior Department build
ing to these new quarters. The rooms vacated in
the department building will be occupied
mainly by the patent Office, which il very
much cramped for room.
In addition it will be necessary to provide
places for the two new principal examiners
thorized by the last Congress. The divisions
OF the general land Office remaining
in the department. building will also have
chance to get a little more additional
space, which is very much needed. The mineral
division will occupy the rooms vacated by the
divisions Of accounts. When this change is ef-
fected there will be four divisions of the general
land office in quarters outside of the depart
ment building.
The contest division now occupies the whole
OF the building at the northwest corner of Sth
and G streets. The lease Of the floors in the
new building is only temporary eXpedient as
it is believed that it will be possible
to secure Z building large enough to
accommodate the entire land Office. Con-
gress has made an appropriation of $1,000
to pay the rent of such a building, and one or
two propositions have been made to the depart
ment contemplating the erection Of a building,
which, owing to the character of the records.
must be fire pro T. No definite action has at
yet been taken by the department, but it
Is probable that before the expiration
OF the next fiscal year the entire land Office
will be out the department building. When
that result is attained the department building
will be left to the sole use Of tine Secretary's 8
office and thefpatent Office. The former is not
large and occupies comparatively only a few
rooms. SO that practically the patent office
will spread over the whole building. This
is believed by the patent Office officials to be
the manifest destiny Of that Office 1t is claimed
that the building was originally intended for
the use Of the patent Office, and the prospect
that 1t is to be given up Tor their use is pleas
ing one to those who are anxious that the pat
ent office should have sufficient room to enable
the Important public business to be properly
performed.

THE COMMISSIONERS. MOTIVES.
Why DIR. Hammett Was Not Appointed I
Succeed DIR. Townshend as Health Once

why Dr. Hammett Was Not Appointed to
Succeed DIR. Townshend as Health Onicer.
The recent change Of attitude on the part of
the Commissioners respecting the successor Of
DR.. Townshend as health officer of the District
has given rise to considerable comment as to
the motives influencing their action.
1t is understood. in fact hinted at the District
building. that the choice Of DR.. Hammett in
the first place was . deep political scheme
which had in view the removal of Collector of
Taxes Davis and the appointment of Mr.. An
derson. a well-known Grand Army man.
The scheme referred to was to appoint DR..
Hammet, well-known democrat, health
ofhcer, and then when the unfavorable COM
ment on the part of the republicans came in to
even matters up by ousting the collector Of
taxes.
The scheme. however, fell through on ac-
count OF the interference of the President, who
did not desire the appointment Of DIR. Ham,
NETT
1t is an open secret at the District building
that for months past an unusually large amount
OF pressure has been brought to bear upon the
Commissioners to get them to remove Collector
Davis.
1t is also well known that Col. Robert, while
willing to vote for change in any Office where
an Improvement was possible, was opposed to
the removal of Tax Collector Davis whom he
considers an efficient officer.

Mr.. George A. Burt, former superintendent
OF the Panama railroad, who was recently in
dicted in San Francisco for shipping arms on
the schoone: Robert and Minnie which were
subsequently transferred to the Chilian steam
ship Itata, was interviewed in New York yester-
day by a Tribune reporter.
"a great deal has been said, A." remarked Mr.
Burt. regarding the people who furnished the
money to buy the arms which were shipped by
the Robert and Minnie. probably know as
much about that as anybody, and I assure
you that the credits were established in Eu-
rope. l do not feel at liberty to say in what
part of Europe-it may have been in England
or on the contiuent-the money for the pur-
chase was furnished. No New York firm had
any hand in the matter As for myself, have
violated no international law. Ihave acted in
accordance with it, and if have
maintained any secrecy in regard to
the shipment Of the arms which were
on the Robert and Minnie, it was because those
arms might have been seized on the ocean by a
ship of Balmaceda's navy and the seizure might
have been justified on the ground that they
were contraband of war. This is my statement
of the case and can say, with Martin Luther,
Here stand l; God help me, 1 could not do
