A Living Japanese salamander.


Thomas s. Hill, the young naturalis'
OF Knoxville, Ia, who Is spending tht
winter at Passe Ell Tont, Tex, has re
Gently come into possession of q q T Gu
riosity-a Japanese salamander-the gif
OF . friend who il now doing tha
orient. According TO the descriptive tas
which was pasted on the tin box in which
MIR. Salamander made his long trip, tn.
creature was caught in one of the fresh
water lakes Of the Japanese mountains
on the 4th Of July last. Unfortunately
the tag does not state whether the speci
men is q young or an old example Of Tho
salamander family. Naturalists who
have examined it since its arrival at the
Passe, however, declare that it is about
2 years Of age.
It 10 exactly 8 feet and Q inches in
length, has four legs, like an alligator,
and q very extensive caudal appendage.
The head II broad and Cat, very s.snaky'
in appearance; the eyes so small as to be
hardly discernible. In color the creature

lighter underneath. The entire skin il
covered with ''warts,r or -excresences
Like those on q toad. When pressed
upon these warts exude q viscid, Acrid
fluid. which il probably it's only means

Where Kauri Gum Is Found.

Kauri gum is formed of the turpentine
that has exuded from the kauri tree, q
species of pine which is the finest and
for general purposes the most useful
forest tree in New Zealand. Thirty
years ago the Maoris were the only peo-
pie who employed themselves In search
ing for this gum, which at that time was
to be found OF or cropping out Of the
surface of the ground, where perhaps
ages before forests Of kauri had stood.
After a few years exports the Maoris
began to dig for the gum q few inches
below the surface. As the uses for it in
creased, it's market value rose, and pres
emily Europeans betook themselves to
digging for it, until at the present time
there are probably 1900 whites and / 1000
Maoris engaged in the work in the Auck-
land provincial district, where alone the
gum is to be found. Hence the output
has steadily increased during the last
thirty years, Notwithstanding that the
gum is not being reproduced, except to
Q very inappreciable extent, in the exist
ing forests. and these are being rapidly
cut down because Of the commercial
value Of the timber.
Within q measurable period of time
the production Of the gum must cease.
although it is expected that at the pres
emit rate 1t will take 90 years to exhaust
the deposits in the Auckland district. In
some places gum bearing land has been
purchased from the crown for settlement
purposes, and the gum unearthed in
blowing 1t has been sold for enough to
pay the purchase money Of the land and
for blowing. fencing and sowing it as
well.-London Times.

His Size.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Among the
daily batch of nominations sent to the
senate is the name of Judge William
Lochren of Minnesota to be commits.
sioner of pensions to succeed Green B.
Raum.
1t is doubtful whether a more popu.
lar appointment. certainly so far as the
Northwest is concerned could have been
made by the president than the nomina-
ton of Juugs William Lochren of Min
neapolis. He is 81 years of q and was
born in Vermont. He went to Mime
apolis in 1857 and practiced his profess
sion until the war broke out. When the
war was over " illiam Lochren returned
to Minnesota and resumed the practice
OF law. In 1882 he was appointed by a
Republican governor to a judgeship on
the circuit bench and at the expiration
OF his appointment was twice reelected
to the same place without opposition.
Other Nominations.
Other nominations were: Hannis
Taylor, of Alabama, to be envoy extra
ordinary and minister plenipotentiary
OF the United States to Spain. Charles
Edward Biggs, of Iowa, to be an as

An important case came up in the
United States court before Judge San.
born at Sioux Falls on the 3rd inst.
The Farmers Loan and Trust company,
OF New York, sued the Watertown
Water Works company for the interest
on 100000, which had been defaulted
to the amount OF $3.50. 1t is said that
these bonds were part of the capital
scheme OF 1889. in common with Sioux
Falls, Pierre, Chamberlain and Huron.
Watertown entered the fight, and be
sides raising the subscription from pri-
vate sources used the city's credit.
Among these schemes was the bonding
for the purpose Of water works. The
bonds issued amounted to $4,000, and
it is alleged that OF this sum 10000 was
diverted into the capital company's till.
Judge Sanborn announced that he
would appoint a receiver.

While two OF the three senator's ap-
pointed by governors of states and now
seeking admission to the United States
senate are republican and one
democratic, yet we would consider it
unfortunate for the purity of politics
and the integrity Of party principles, il
they should be admitted. Taking adj
vantage OF q legislative muddle or dead
lock, to throw the appointment of a
United States senator into the hands Of
a governor, is q dangerous blow at
democratic principles and the rights Of
the people.

A jury In the circuit court has placed

careless driving, with the result that his

GENERAL BRACES NERVE.

Nothing Else.

He Wants the Chinese Mission and
Nothing Else.
ST.. PAUL, April IA special to The
Dispatch from Washington says:
Merry old General Bragg has refused
q position which pays $12. 900 per an
mum. The papers in the case were all
made out, and he was to have been ap-
pointed to Brazil. but he sent q note to
Cleveland declining the honor. The
place was not satisfactory TO him,
and he preferred the Chinese
mission. President Cleveland told
him that the passage OF the
Chinese exclusion act had caused fric-
tion, and the removal of Minister
DENLY, who has been there for eight
years, would be an unwise move at this
time. as DENLY is popular with Chinese
officials.
Refused the Austrian Mission.
He then offered General Bragg the
mission to Austro-Hungary, but that
was also refused, as the expense of liv-
Ing there is nor than Bragg could
afford. Under these circumstances the
Austrian mission was given to Bartlett
Trip of South Dakota. General Bragg
now has an option on the mission to
the Argentine Republic, but Bragg
wants to go to China and wants Cleye-
land to send him there. He voted
against the Chinese exclusion bill when
he was in congress and believes
that he would be persona grata to
China. If he cannot get that he will
accept the Peruvian place. Bragg had
q row with Cleveland, and ever since
Grover has been trying to find some
thing to satisfy the old man.

Raising the constitution of the
United States as a bar to prevent
something they do not wish to
have done is a very old trick with
the Democrats in Congress, and yet
it does seem surprising that they
should be willing to go before the
country with such a tlimsy excuse
for not being willing to have the
charge of criminal embezzlement
against Senator Roach Investigate
ed. The Republican Senators be-
ing a minority could not force the
Democrats to vote on Senator
HOar's resolution, before adjourn
ing, but they could, and did, COM
pei the Democratic majority to
put itself on record as be-
ing afraid to allow this inVcstiga-
ton to be made, not be-
cause it would almost certainly
have resulted in the expulsion of
Roach, but because it would have
laid bare the methods by which
the election of Roach was secured,
methods far from creditable. Re
publican senators are willing to
let the matter go in that shape, to
the intelligent people Of the cOun-
try, for the present, at least. They
will bring the matter up again at
the regular session of Congress,
when. they hope to be able to COM
pei the Senate to take action.
Half of official Washington will
go down to see the interesting in
ternational naval review in Hamp-
ton Roads, in which, thanks to a
republican Congress and the Har-
rison administration, the United
States will make a creditable
showing.
The end of the extra session of
the Senate was very quiet, al
though there were several very
stormy periods during its last days.
In suspending the further issue
of gold certificates Secretary Car
Isle was rather hasty. The law
says they shall be suspended
when the gold in the treasury falls
below $1OO,OOO,0OO. This it has rot
vet done, although it may do 50
before the week ends.
