STEERING THE HOUSE.
The Committee on Rules Now at the

Helm.
WASHINGTON, June 2s.-It was apparent
to-day in the House that the committee on
rules is at the helm and will direct the legis-
lative craft until the end of the session.
This is to be done by special orders assign
ing days to various committees for the con-
sideration of bills reported by them. These
orders are subject to interruption BY con-
ference reports, and to give them effect the
presence Of voting quorum will con-
stantly be necessary. In spite Of the
urgent appeals of the managers to the alb
sentees this has not yet been secured, but it
is expected that success will crown their
efforts In day or two. The rules com
mittee to-day bestowed all OF the time re-

the premises for something which attracts
them. An uncovered barrel of rain water will

WHALE AND swoRDFIsH
The Story Told to Visitors at the Bay
of Monterey.

Inc SbOry TolO TO VleltOrS at the Bay
of Monterey.
From the San Francisco Chronicle
Visitors 10 Monterey were entertained re-
Gently by the sight of duel between an
immense whale and a swordfsh, which
ended fatally for the larger but more de-
fenseless monster OF the deep. The whale
was fret seen by party OF bathers one
pleasant afternoon last week, and appeared
to be enjoying himself by lazily swimming
about the bay and occasionally sending
shower OF spray aIoft like that thrown up bv
a powerful fountain. The presence of the
whale or some other cause seemed to
brighten the small fish that abound in these
waters and great schools pressed closely in
shore, the water In places near the beach
being fairly alive with them, while the sur
face was kept agitated by their leaping into
the air as though seeking to escape from
some enemy.
The whale followed the fish inshore, when
suddenly there was a tremendous splashing
of the water, the great mammal was OBJ
served to move hurriedly hither and thither,
while the contortions of his body and his
strange actions convinced the observers
that he was engaged in deadly combat with
some other monster of the deep 1t was a
singular duel and it lasted for some time.
Nothing but the whale was visible, his
enemy never coming to the surface or
within range Of those who were watching
the scene.
Finally the thrAshing ceased, the water
became calm, and then the whale was seen
lying motionless upon the surface of the
bay, as IL dead. This continued for some
time, but after about an hour he seemed to
revive, and after flashing the water for some
time with his tail he headed for the outer
bay, where he was subsequently, seen by
the aid Of glass to have resumed his mo-
tionless condition.
The following morning several persons
discovered the dead body of the whale high
and dry on the rocks short distance
from Monterey. The body was consider
ably above low water mark. and the fins
were extended.
An examination revealed the existence OF
several wounds on the under side which
were of a character such as could only have
been inflicted by sworddsh, and are con-
elusive proof that it was duel between
these two denizens of the deep that had
been witnessed the previous afternoon.
The carcass measured seventy-fve feet in
lenght, and the blubber was removed aud
dried out For several days the stranded
whale was the center Of attention for the
entire country round about, and many
hundreds of residents and tourists visited it,

"SEA CANARlES."

Peculiar Find of Seattle Fisherman In
the Way OF Shell-Fish.
A peculiar kind of shell-fish, the like
of which has never been seen on the
sound, was fished out of two hundred
feet of water near Five Mile Point me
morning by rock cod fisherman. The
man felt tug at his line, and began
pulling in. Judging from the weight,
he concluded that he must have caught
the grandfather of all the rock cod in
the sound When he had taken in all
his line he was astonish ed to find that
he had not only landed splendid five
and half pound cod, but also rock
full of pcrforations, to which were at
tached six lively shell-fsh, each az big
as ones fist, and somewhat resembling
gigantic mussels. The shells of the Ash
were imbedded in the rock, and as soon
as the rock was taken out of the water
the fish craned their long necks out of
the shells just as turtle would.
The necks of the fish were unlike any
thing the fisherman had ever seen; they
resembled slightly the yellow mouth
of the lamprey eel. Their mouths were
pointed and surmounted by hard,
brown-colored beak, which they opened
and shut precisely as robin does. The
fish and their abode were held together
by means of the stout roots of seaweed
which had grown about them. and the
whole weighed eight and half pounds.
The fisherman took the curiosity to the
Denver market and there it was placed
on exhibition and attracted considerar
bic attention. In the absence of more
scientific name, one OF tho men con-
ncctcd with the market named the shell.

well-nigh paralyzed me. About half a
mile south of the station the trail

feet in depth. There had formerly
