FEMININE FISH STORIES.
One Involves n SagaciouS Dog, the Other
a Fight With . salmon.

There are few larger drains upon
creduity than the dog stories which
turn upon extraordinary displays OF ca
nine intelligence. or course, fish
story is even worse. What apology can
be offered, therefore, for the introduc-
tion Of combination Of the twoP The
following anecdote, however, Is well
vouched for.
A Young lady started out not long
ago for a mornings fishing In Welsh
stream. She was accompanied by a
retriever dog, highly trained In the
accomplishment OF bringing articles
out of the water. The young lady
threw out her line, and pursued her
angling with a deep interest almost
surpassed by that evinced by the dog.
fn fact, the young woman's attention
slnmbered for mopent, and as luck
would have 1t, at lat very instante
came big tug at.sae line.
The angler, startled, lost her hold on
the rod, which was at once dragged
under water by the fish attached to the
hook. Soon the end OF the rod made its
appearance, however, and the retriever,
who had become intensely excited,
Immediately jumped In and seized II.
He found it rather more difficult to
bring TO land than the walking sticks TO
which he was accustomed, but finally
landed his prize. The fish proved TO be
a club, which gives tremendous first
pull, but is then generally done with,
coming In like log. A trout would
have given the retriever more trouble.
This little Welsh incident recalls the
story OF another fair fisher who threw
her line many years ago In another
Welsh river, the Usk. She had tre-
mepdous tussle with a salmon. The tsh
was hooked in the morning, probably 10
the back fn, and rushed to and fro
with such extraordinary Viyacity that
hour after hour passed without the
least sign Of its weakening. Luncheon
time came. The lady gave the rod TO
the attendant TO hold, and reinforced
her strength with a. hearty meal Then
she returned to the fray, and was
dragged up and down the banks In .
most unpleasant fashion by the rushes
of the fish.
By the time the shades Of nigh. be-
gan TO fall the news had spread
through all the country round, and as
twilight closed In the neighbors came
with lanterns and candles, bg whose
uncertain light the fight was still car
ried on. At last. some fourteen hours
after the hooking Of the hsh, the line
was cut by a rock, and the episode
ended with a very undeserVed disaster
for the angler. but well-earned freedom
for the fsh.-Eep York Sun

Is the New York "sun's" Great Boast, Bot
it Must Take IL In or Cease Lying For
the United Press.
New YORK, October 1.-The Sun,
on Tuesday morning, published a state
ment pretending to deny (but, in
which denial was most carefully
avoided) that the Associated
Press had beaten the small
news association, with which
the United Press does business In
London on the reports OF the yacht
races. The sun pretended to quote
from Land and WdJer, a London puoli-
cation, an article in which it was stated
that the Associated Press reports OF the
races were q "hssh OF intolerable rub
bish."
Inquiry OF the London agent OF the
Associated Press reveals the fact that
Land and Water is q weekly publication
and that there has been no edition OF 1t
published since the day BEFORE the
first race.
The pretended quotation Of the sun
is therefore fabrication pure and sim
pie. That the reports furnished by the
Associated Press to the English and
Continental papers were the best sent
across TIE water, Is clearly evidenced
by the fact that its reports were used
by the papers, to the exclusion Of all
Others

WASHINGTON. D. c., october IL
Usual methods BY which controversies
over legislation are settled by an agree
ment to come to a vote have failed to
carry and the world is now watching
the decision Of great financial ques-
tion by test OF physical endurance
not unlike the games Of the Romans.
Ike the ancient athletic feats the
multitude fills the seats OF the amphI-
theatre and waits the outcome. 1t may
end tonight; it may continue for days.
All day long there we're evidences Of
preparation for the fight. Few Sena-
tors were in the chamber, but a glance
into the cloak roems and peep in the
committee rooms showed many Of them
sleeping on the coUches and sofas, hns-
banding their strength for a siege
which they appreciated would test most
severely every energy which they could
muster.
Forces on both sides Of the battle
were divided 50 as 20 be able to give
each other relief by taking up the de-
Tense OF their position IN turn. The
great number OF employees OF the Sen
pte were likewise separated into relays
h. anticipation OF continuous work.

has every man on his payroll within
call tonight. Relays Of doOrkeepers are
provided for the galleries, and a reserve
force is ready TO guard the doors Of the
Senate floor Four men are ready and
waiting to hunt up Senators and re-
quest their attendance.
In the committee rooms couches and
blankets had been prepared, aud every
thing possible TO make comfortable the
situation, which Senators found them
selves in, was done.
The galleries az o'clock did not
contain an UnocCupied seat and in
the doorWays was a mass Of humanity
claBSoring for admisSOn. Every mo-

When the Senate met only twelve Sena-

One secre. OF a Woman's success.

Some one who knows her well has
said that the reason Mrs. Potter Pal
mer always carries herself so serenely
through the tumultuous meetings OF the
Women Commissioners is that she is al
ways conscious Of being perfectly
dressed. 1t is one Of the ways of wo-
men. Many a woman has made her toi-
let. like Marie Antoinette, to go through
the supreme hour Of her life, and tri-
umphed. Many woman has fortified
herself for q disagreeSble duty or an
embarrassing position with bunch OF
roses in her belt. Life is never alto
gether a failure to the woman who
knows her bonnet is becoming. And
there is no consolation even in the hope
OF heaven TO the one who knows that
her bang is strengthening out in the
midst OF trying circumstances.

WHERE Is Mr.. VAN ALIEN?
His Diplomatic Commission Lying Un-

HIS Address Unknown and Some Anx-
fety Expressed-Mr. ROOseveIts
Commission Not Delivered.

The commissions of Mr.. James J. Van
Allen as ambassador to Italy and Mr.. j.
Roosevelt Roosevelt secretary of the
United States embassy at London, Eng
land. are still at the State Department
awaiting Information as to the whereab bouts
OF the officials named. Mr.. Van Allen was
nominated September 10 and confirmed by
the Senate October 90 His commission
was signed by the President on the last
named date and in the regular routine of
business was forwarded to the State De-
partment. 1t has been there ever since
and considerable doubt is expressed as to
what shall be done with it. Mr.. Van Aliens
movements are said to be erratic and his
precise address does not appear to be
known at the State Department. The press
dispatches say he attended the horse show
at New York city early in the week. but
that Is not regarded as sufficient evidence
for the purposes of official communication
with him in regard to the duties of his Do
sition. He may have thanked the Presi-
dent by mail for his appointment. but so
far as known he has not considered II
necessary to come to Washington to re-
ceive his instructions or for any other pur-
pose, nor has he, as yet, given any indica-
.lon OF MS intentions in the matter. 1t is
inferred that he will accept the diplomatic
office and that he will soon start for Italy
Dut there Is painful lack of information
on the subject
Mr.. ROosevelt's Case Different.
The case of Mr.. Roosevelt is somewhat
different. He is known to be in London.
where he was summoned by the death OF
his wife. His commission is still at the
State Department, but that does not signify
that he has not qualified and entered upon
the discharge of the duties of his office. for
the reason that he could have executed the
necessary formalities Of taking the oath of
ofhce In London as we'll as in Washing
ton on formal notification of the issue of
MS ms commission. There is an impression at
the State Department that Mr.. Roosevelt
Is already Installed in office and that ar
rangements will soon be effected whereby
Mr.. Van Allen will be similarly installed
as ambassador to Italy
