Choicest Sea Serpent Ynrn of the
Year.
New York, June '21GThe American
ship A. j. Fuller, Captain John D.
White, brings a choice sea serpent
yarn. The ship has just returned from
a cruise around the world.
First Officer James Dunn asserts that
on Monday. May 2S. at $50 a. m, in
latitude "a 40 north, longitude 1888 west
which is in mid-Atlantic, he saw some
specimens of this animal of enormous
size. In describing his experience Mr..
Dunn said;
1--WE had been becalmed all day when
suddenly the sluggish water filled with
gulf weed became a writhing mass Of
Serpents below the staging and out of
the mass the head of a monster reared
fully ten feet into the air. With a
shout to the men over the side, who
scrambled on board, l fired two shots
from my Smith and Wesson without
effect and then tried my Winchester,
while one of the seamen was sent to
arouse the captain. On the captain S
arrival the monster had disappeared.
At first the serpent appeared to be one
body but when the head sank out of
sight about two dozen serpents, all
over twenty feet long, appeared. The
head of the monster was similar in
shape to that of an ordinary snake with
large fat mouth. dark red tongue
and cluster of Shiny hair over the
whole head The color was a dark
green"

Stanford EuloGized.

Sacramento, Cal, June 21.-At the
opening of the afternoon session of the
Republican convention, Timothy Guy
Phelps introduced a resolution eulogiz-
ing the late Senator Stanford, prais-
ing his benevolence in founding the
Stanford university, and expressing
sympathy for Mrs. Stanford. The reso-
luton is understood to be an answer
to the recent attack made by Congress
man Geary in the House upon Senator
Stanford and his motives in establish
ing the university.
Mr. Phelps obtained the floor and
eulogized the late Senator Stanford in
high terms. He dwelt particularly up
on Stanferd's record as governor and
upon his philanthropy, particularly in
reference to the institution Of Stanford
university.
H. A Morehouse endorsed Mr.. Phelps
remarks and referred directly to the
"cowardly, dastardly and unwarrant-
ed'' attack recently made upon the late
senator by Representative Geary, and
he asked that Geary be rebuked by the
rising, silent vote Of the convention.
At the behest of the chairman, all
the delegates arose and the resolution
was declared unanimously adopted

London, June 21.-Fire broke out al
9 o'clock tonight at the Agnes cabinet
mandatory in Tabernacle street.
The flames, assisted by a fierce wind
spread furiously, and within an hour
eight or ten other factories were burn
ing. The wind carried sheets of flame
and sparks a great distance and the
illumination attracted enormous crowds
of people to the vicinity
Thirty engines were summoned, but
the greatest difficulty was experienced
in approaching the burning buildings.
The whole block was destroyed. AL
most the entire London brigade, over
fifty engines and 400 men, were in at
tendance.
The flames were visible from all parts
of London and the suburbs The walls
of the buildings fell from time to time
with loud crashes. So far as ascer-
tanned there were no casualties.
The fire ragged with fury until mid al,
night when it was controlled. The
estimated damage is 100000.

SERIOUS AT SAMOA.
Rebels Openly Defy the Govern
ment's Forces.


ment's Forces.
Auckland, N. a.. June 21.-Advices
from Samoa, dated June IA, reached
here today. The British warship Cura-
Goa and the German warship Buzzard
visited the locality of the rebel camp
recently and notified them thai if ten
chiefs and fifty guns were surrendered
no attack would be made on them by
the government forces. The rebels
were also informed that if they re-
solved to reject his proposition and
fight, they were at liberty to have
their women and children taken on
board the Curacao and Buzzard After
some elaboration the rebels sent ten
chiefs and fifty worthless guns on
board the ships. After the departure
OF the warships, the rebels re-occupied
the forts and openly defied the govern
ment forces. On Sunday following, the
rebels fired upon the village, where
chief Malietoa was supposed to be at
tending divine service and advanced
upon the village itself. The rebels,
however, were -repulsed by the govern
ment force with a slight loss to both
SIDES. 1t was evident the intention of
the rebels was to attempt to kill Chief
Malietoa, but he was absent at that
time.
When these dispatches left Samoa,
sk1rmishes were taking place between
the rebels and the government forces,
but there has been no severe fighting.

BLOWN OUT TO SEA.
Owls Captured by Sailors Rounding
Cape Horn.

Cape Horn.
New York, June 21.-The ship Com
modore Allan has just arrived from
San Francisco. While the Allan was
rounding Cape Horn on her voyage to
this port, two owls were carried with a
flight against northeastern winds and
settled in the ships main rigging for a
March 26 when the Allan was blowing
around the extreme strip of South
America. The day was a fine one and
the wind was singing lazily through the
ropes. Birds of all kinds are blown out
to sea from Patagonia, but never before
in the recollection of Captain Merrill,
who has been on voyages for forty
years between the ends of the CONT
nent, did the housing owl allow him
self to be driven 200 miles from land.
One Of the young sailors skipped up
the rigging and was about to take
hold of one, when both flew down on
the deck. They were pursued around
the ship for an hour before they were
taken.
Third Mate Cavendish caught one
its leg with hawser. 1t died a few
days ago but the first bird is alive and
seems contented with it's lot. 1t weighs
a little more than a pound and has a
long beak and its color is gray. The
captain believes the bird is a rare speci-
men of the Patagonian owl. He has
named it Murphy" owing to a plenti-
full growth of hair around its neck.

Brynn's Speech.

Omaha, Neb., June Civilian Jen-
nings Bryan, member of Congress from
the First Nebraska district, bowed his
acknowledgement to $500 people from
the stage at the exposition building
this evening. He sat for twenty
minutes with his eyes closed, while an
energetic brass band assured the people
that the congressman might be dead
but was not sleeping. His speech that
followed was lengthy exposition of
the attitude Of the Republican party,
and the change of sentiment in the
Democratic party.
The Populists, he said, have taught
the reformers more in two years than
the Democrats had in thirty. He was
greatly gratified at the change of senti-
ment in Nebraska in the last few
months. Much credit was due the men
who had originated the idea of the con-
ference. 1t was a grand and noble
purpose. a calling for the foes of free
silver TO come out and make an honest
fight. He mad preached tariff reform
for years, and had worked hard and
earnestly and was sorry to see how lit
tie he had done. His efforts, though,
had been ably aided by the POpuliSts
and he wanted to give credit. right
now and here, to the man who had led
that party.

prove a better senator for Nebraska
than any Republican ever sent. Some
people had opposed the free silver con-
ference because it would split the party.
There were always people who thought
more of harmony than of principle, but
this very thing had led to a destruc-
ton of harmony.
"Silver men," said Mr.. Bryan, ''have
been called anarchists. and have been
branded as outlaws. An anarchist is
man who opposes law, but the man
who wants to make the government
good and put only good laws on the
statute books is the friend of the gov
eminent
He wanted to say to the business
men of the country that they were not
the only ones who made a living off
some one else. The humblest toiler
was a contributor to the national
wealth, and the business man could
not rise to prosperity on the ruins OF
the common people.
He then proceeded to analyZe the
platform of the conference, commend
ing it in every respect. He followed
with a long disquisition ON coinage and
said that silver was needed.
1--WE need money as we need food,
said he. 1--WE are hungry for silver
and we must have it and will have it.

His speech was closed with general
remarks on the use Of metals for
money.
