She was trying to get into the wagon

1s VIII Fight All Competitors and VIII
Cut the Price Of whisky.
PEORIA, April 1.-THE meeting of the
directors of the whisky trust was brought
to an end this evening. President Green
hut subsequently stated that the bond
issue furnished the chief topic Of conver-
sation. He admitted that no definite
action was taken, as it was first desired to
get figures with regard to distributing the
business, as this was the main reason for
issuing bonds. The amount of the pro-
posed issue it is impossible to ascertain.
but it is thought to be in the neighborhood
of SIS, 600. OOO There will be another meet
ing next week. A number of stockholders
put themselves on record a. opposed to
the issuance of bonds, but the directors
consider it their duty to obtain protection
for the company, which is asserted to be
In something of a strait financially. Presi-
garded as the only way out of the trouble.
A number of distilieries, erected at the
time the prices were so high, are about to
start up. and the company will fight them
from the word ''go" It is expected first
to make . reduction in prices of cent,
which will so into effect tomorrow. This
will be followed by other reductions as
necessity requires. The intention is to
cut prices to thee cost of production and
even below the cost of manufacture If need
be. In the past outside companies have
eaten into the trade of the trust, and
henceforth they propose to hold it.

The Hsytien Rspublic's Owner Explains
His Large Cargoes Of Chinese.
William Dunbar, president of the Mer.
chants Steamship Company, which has
attained an unenviable notoriety in con-
nection with the steamship Haytien Re-
public. was in Seattle last evening on his
return to Portland from British Columbia,
where he has been on business connected
with his steamship line. He was seen last
evening by Posr-INTELLIGENcER reporter
and given an opportunity to tell his side
of the many damaging stories that have
been circulated about him, his company
and the steamship which he manages.
Mr.. Dunbar was averse to talking for pub
lication, and a long string of questions
elected little satisfaction. He conveyed
the impression that he was not ready to
talk freely about the alleged smuggling Of
Chinese and opium; that several matters
were before the courts, and the time would
come when he should give his side of the
case. In reply to numerous questions Mr..
Dunbar said:

LANGUAGE OF ANTS.
You May Not Understand it, but the Ants
do, and that's Enough.
Youths Compaaioa.l


1t is no longer necessary to prove the exist
ence of language among insects.
What is now of interest is TO find out, il we
can, the extent and limits of their language and
the ideas and nlerences to which it gives
rise.
1t is till question, however, in what way
communication is opened and kept up. Is it
by rubbing the anteune together? The move
ments Of the insects make this seem reasonable,
yet a professor in natural history in Prussia
recently stated that ants provided with
sounding apparatus resembling that of the
wasp by means of which faint sounds suited TO
the ears of ants are produced. This remains TO
be proved.
How is it that these small creatures can
venture far from the nest, distances that are
relatively enormous. aud never hesitate about
the road to take when they wish to retrace
their steps? Learned men who have studied
the matter attribute the power TO tine formic
acid given out by the insect as il travels, so
that it finds it way in exactly the same way
that fox or dog does.
"One day." says NJ. Lsvallois 81 followed an
ant for a long time. She far from the
anthill, and seemed to have no intention Of
soon returning
In the middle of the path she came upon
the dead body of a g0Gd-sizcl snail. She first

When half way home she met one of her
companions. Ia instant they had touched
or rubbed autenne with great animation, and
she was pursuing her course. The same per
formance took place when she met second
AM a third. and as as she left them they
quickly turned toward the spot where the
snail lay.
The first ant soon entered the nest, and ]
lost sight of her; but doubtless she continued
her work of informing and melting the rest,
for a long line Of ants Immediately came out and
set forth for tire prey. Ten minutes afterward
the snail was entirely covered with the yellow
swarm. and by evening not trace Of it re-

A Transaction i'm Trousers.


very absent-mnded member of the French
Institute was reading a newspaper in the Casino
at Dieppe the other day. He was absorbed by
his reading. and with his left hand he uncon-
sciousiy pushed the files of newspapers on
the table. Each moment he sent them farther
from him. Beyond the papers was an inkstand
which at last the moving of the papers pushed
over the side of the table. 1t fell on the
trousers of a Paris banker vino was furious at
the accident.
Fhe absent-minded man offered his best ex-
cuses without appeasing the bankers wrath,
who shrieked that his new trousers were ruined.
But, sir. | will cheerfully pay for them. Be
good enough to give me your card, and | will
send the money to your hotel"
"To my hotel, sir. | don't know you. /
must instantly have the 80 francs these trousers
cost"
The member of the institute drew forth the
30 francs and handed them 10 the banker. Then
he said:
Now that you have been paid. hope you
have too much of the delicacy of gentleman
to remain in my trousers. You know they are
mine. and / insist upon their immediate de-
livery 10 me. You have con nfdence in me;
have none in you. My trousers"
In vain the banker protested against such
haste. The crowd that had gathered about the
disputants said the member oil the institute
was right, and the banker, after sending for
another pair of neither garments, surrendered
the ink stained ones amid the laughter OF the
by- y-standers

Bronze panels ornament each side, and on
them are suitable inscriptions recounting the
virtues of the man in whose honor it is erected.
The whole work is 80 feet in hight and about
ID feet in length.
The statue represents Mcclellan, in full uni
form, seated on his horse in charging order.
The work is full of life, and expresses warlike
vigor III its highest form. 1t is to be slightly
more than full life size, and it will be finished
in the most artistic manner.
1t is made of United States ststuary bronze,
from ! to Ii inches thick. The horse is 100
inches in length and its hight is in proportion
The man is IL life size. The statue has been
cast in the following pieces: Head of horse,
body of horse, tail of horse, each leg of horse,
and the base or part on which the horse is to
stand.
The man is to be cut at the top of the boots
and under the belt, and the head and arms are
to be cast separately. The various pieces will
be securely bolted together, making the statue
really stronger than if it were cast solid.
Only S. 500 is needed to clear the Memorial
Association of all Indebtedness and place the
statue completed upon the pedestal.
When the dedication exercises will be held
will depend entirely upon the success met with
in raising the money. In any event they will
be held soon, aud Gen. w B. Franklin, OF Con-
necticut. one of McClellap's division command
ers, will deliver the oratiou
