RIVERSIDE, April 25.-Some months

this long cut will have to be run, and
as soon as estimates and necessary eur

CHICAGO, April 25.--The shorts in the
oats market today on the board realized
that they were cornered for May de.
livery. The price advanced IL cents a
bushel over the close of yesterdays ses-
sion. AS oats rarely advance or decline
more than q cent to Il cent per buahel
in day when in normal condition, it
will be seen that this advance is some
thing phenomenal. 1t was sll due to
the fact that an old and experienced
speculator named Hess recently made q

side. He is credited with having made
5000, 900 to $400, 900 in wheat, and has

The complete publication of the COM
parisen between the existing Mckinley
tariff and that which 1t is proposed to
force upon the country, in the American
Economist last week and this week,
brings right before every manufacturer
and wage Garner precisely what his con-
dition will be just as soon as the Wilson
bill may become law. The difference be-
tween the two rates represents the de-
crease IN the cost of manufacture that
must be made in American goods in order
to enable them to compete with foreign
products. This difference must be met
by economy. and as the bulk Of the cost
is represented by labor, therefore labor
must bear the bulk of the reduction to
which the present ad ninistration and the
present party in power is forcing it. The
comparison of the two tariffs, together
with the complete text Of the Wilson bill,
the majority and minority reports, and
the opinions of manufacturers and others
upon the effects OF the bill as they have
appeared by the side of the comparative
tables, will be published together IN one
volume, and it is advisable that early APP
plication be made therefor, as the edi-
ton will be limited to the demand.

A NEW candidate has entered the
race for the democratic nomination in
1896, in the person of Senator Voorhees,,
of Indiana. 1t would seem to ordinary
minds tina: his course upon the silver re-
peal bill, which angered both the silver
and the 8nti-silver democrats, would have
been sufficient to have destroyed any
hopes entertained by him, but the mind
of Senator Voorhees, is not an ordinary
one, and he doesn't see it that way. He
thinks his bill for the coinage of the
seigniorage in the treasury and the
purchase and coinage of 100000
worth of silver a month will make
friends for him IN the west; he has a
scheme to catch the south by favoring
the repeal of the tax on state bank cur
rency and he expects to get solid with
the wage-earners of all sections by op-
posing the Cleveland tariff BILL Re

pension policy of the administration.
He calculates that his opposition to
civil service reform will make friends
or him among the practical politicians

utilize all the methods known to an

AN ODD TlMEPIECE.
The Chariot Clock OF the Emperor OF
China.

China.
One of the most wonderful time
keepers known to the horologist was
made in London about one hundred
years ago and sent by the president of
the East India company as gift to
the emperor of China. The case, says
the New Orleans Times-Democrat, was
made in the form of chariot, in
which was seated the figure of a wom-
an. This figure was of pure ivory and
gold and sat with her right hand rest
ing upon a tiny clock fastened to the
side of the vehicle. A part of the
wheels which kept track of the fight
of time were hidden in the body of
tiny bird, which had seemingly just
alighted upon the lady's finger. Above
was canopy so arranged as to conceal
a silver bell. This bell was fitted with
a miniature hammer of the same metal,
and, although it appeared to have no
connection with the clock, regularly
struck the hours, and could be made
to repeat by touching diamond but
ton on the lady's bodice. In the char
lot at the ivory lady's feet there was
golden figure of a dog. and above and
in front were two birds, apparently
flying before the chariot. This beau
tiful ornament was made almost en-
tirely of gold and was deliberately
decorated with precious stones.

you landlubbers of to-day are Gym
zeal lot of people" And Commodore
Tyrrell, in his righteous Indignation,
began to berate the scribe for daring to
dispute the yarn, which is left to the
reader to digest and absorb as he sees
fit.
Away back in the month of Novem-
Der, in the year 1864, before the war
was over, l was serving on the good
ship Metacomet. We had been moving
southwark into the Campeachy banks,
where red snappers abounded by the
million. The schools of these fishes
were often miles IN length, and with
hook and line we stood at the boats
side all day catching them by the hum
dred, using only large chunks of pork
for bait No sooner would the bait
strike the water than the big fish
would swallow it, only the next mo-
ment to be landed on the deck. The
heads were cut off and the fish packed
in barrels. We filed on an average of
thirty barrels day. The heads were
then thrown back into the water, and
this naturally drew sharks. One day
the boats'n, Billy Wilson, was told to
make big hook with which to capture
a shark. 1t was fastened to the lead
line and baited with a siX-pound chunk
of pork. Far out in the water it was
thrown for the shark to swallow, and.
sure enough, in a moment the line be-
gan running out at speed that soon
required the application of water to
save it from scorching. When it came
to sudden stop Wilson and Gill, the
sailmaker, began to tire out the fish by
taking in the line. At last, when It
was within ten feet of the vessel vol
ley of rifle bullets was poured into it.
In an instant the shark turned again
and made dart, jerking the line from
the mems hands and throwing them
overheard. Away and away it went,
and the work of firing it out was again
begun. When a second time the large
white body was exposed 20 view a num-
Der of volleys were fred into it, even
Capt. Jewett taking hand from the
hurricane deck.
"'All hands, up shark.
1.-The command rang out and one
hundred men with willing hands seized
the line, the next instant landing the
shark on the deck with louder noise
than if five-pound gun had been dis
mounted. Well, we cut that shark
open, and in the stomach we found an
old boot, tin can and about bushel
of fish heads. When the jaws were
propped open and the mouth was dis
tended it was big enough to allow a
nine-year-old boy to walk in without
STOPPING. That fish measured over six
teen feet in length, and we cut it up
and weighed it in sections. 1t counted
up over two thousand pounds. Those
were the days, tell Cincinnati

A Queer Chinese Superstition.

The Chinese have a remarkable SUI
perstition about the Chu river, which
is the local name on the border for the
Chatting. A considerable trade in
drugs is borne along this river, for
which n special class of boats, COM
posed of very light boards fastened
with wooden nails, is built. The ma
tives say that 'he magnetic attraction
of the bed of the river is so strong that
were ordinary boats used the iron nails
would be pulled out. Along the river
banks iron is mined in primitive fash
ion, and from the geological evidence
it is believed that the ore is very rich.
