Blrds That Build Tenemenis.

The social brosbecks of South Africa
live in large societies. They select a
tree of considerable size, and literally
cover it with a grass roof, under
which their common dwelling is con.
structed. The roof serves the double
purpose of keeping off the heat and
rain, and 400 or 800 pairs of birds are
known to have the same shelter. The
nests in this aerial dwelling are built
in regular streets, and closely resem-

THE TWO MAJORS.
Maj. Marks Renominated, Mai.
Abrams Defeated.


Orlando, Fla, Aug l2.-At the prima-
ries held in this senatorial district yes
terday, the Marks ticket is far ahead
Practically I he Sims ticket was not in
the race. In this precinct the Marks
ticket led 228 to II. At Kissimmee. in
Osceola county, the "anti-ring" faction
won by 20 majority. This was a victory
for Marks, as ne was supported by the
antis.
There is peculiar interest attaching
TO TINS result, In the last legisla-
turo, Maj. NJ. r. Marks repre-
sented the Nineteenth senatorial district,
and Maj. Alex St Clair Abrams repre-
sented the Twenty-third But half
of their term OF four years
has expired. A few months ago
a reform movement was inaugurated in
Florida. Abrams espoused the cause Of
the reformers, and ultimately became the
champion and leader Of that movement
The campaign was opened iu Ocala on
June 9, with Abrams as the chief speaker.
lie endeaVored To show that the Demo-
cratic party needed reformation and
emancipation. That it was In the hands
OF soulless railroad corporations, and that
these corporations bribed legislators to
secure their ends Among others he
charged that Senator Marks had been un-
duly influenced. This charge led
to somewhat spirited news
paper controversy, finally result
ing in Abrams publicly challenging
Senator Marks to resign and go before
his constituency upon his record for n re-
election, he (Abrams) agreeing to do the
same thing. Marks accepted the chal-
lenge promptly, and sent his resignation
TO Gov. MITCHELL to be accepted upon the
receipt and acceptance OF Abrams resig-
nation. There were many who did not
believe that Abrams would take his own
medicine, and bets were freely offered and
not taken that he would find some way to
excuse himself But in due time the res
ignation was sent and both accepted.
In the convention in the Twenty-third
district, held some time ago Abrams was
defeated, but he and his friends promptly
bolted and opened n convention OF
their own, at which the gentle
man was nominated by 26 votes,
albeit the regular convention gave 81 to
McLin. Abrams is now an independent
candidate for reelection, with very small
chance Of success at the polls.
The primaries in this district yesterday
virtually settled everything in favor Of
the reelection of Marks. The returns
are not all in, but enough is known TO
show that opposition to him IN the con-
ventfon TO be held next Wednesday WIN
be futile. 1t is believed that Mai Marks
will be renominated by acclamation.
This result is regarded as a very en-
phatic verdict of the people of the two
senatorial districts upon the reform"
movement, which is but another name for
call" movement, as well as test be-
tween the two men.

will decide to accept the Senate amend

end the tariff fight, which is quite gen
orally held in Washington to-day, finds no
lodgment in the bosom of Senator Chand-
Ter of New Hampshire. He said tonight
he had no idea there was going to be any
immediate or sudden change in the situa-
ton, Notwithstanding the impending
caucus tomorrow and its expected result.
The House managers" he said, ARE
not going to eat all that crow at once, and
especially in view of the fact that 1t is
not necessary They have possession of
the bill and can do as they please with 1t.
grant you that if the Senate were in a
position to act, the House might concur
IN the Senate amendments in order 10
prevent the Senate from voting to kill the
bill, but as it is they can take that action
at any time, and they VIII not anticipate
the House when it must become a neces-
sIty.n
Notwithstanding the widespread be-
lief that the caucus called for tomorrow
Will take precipitate action, | am firmly
convinced that nothing will occur to rad
ically change the situation within the
next few days. Matters of this kind are
not rushed pell nell to a conclusion. The
House democrats will not swallow those
b33 amendments without taking a little
while to examine them.
Il am not surprised" continued Mr.
Chandler, "in view of the settlements
made by congressman, that a sort of panic
has been created. l was talking to-
night with southern senator
and asked him when we should get
away, oh, [ am all packed and
ready to go tomorrow he answered.
But you don't know that the President
will sign the bill even if the House ac-
cepts the Senate amendments I said.
No, don't know that he will the SEN
ator responded. But l understand he
says he will take the ten days al
lowed him to consider the
bill before signing it. That would
require US to remain in session for that
length of time, said, or run the risk of
pocket veto. That would be cowardly.'
We all want to get away" concluded
the New Hampshire senator, "but as
said in the beginning, | see no immediate
prospect of our doing So"

London, Aug 12-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Central News has been
enabled TO obtain from an official Chinese
source a full confirmation Of the report
that Ii Hung Chang had been reproved
and degraded by the emperor for dilatori-
ness in prosecuting the war. The cor
respondent says:
The emperor expressed his dis
pleasure at his backward course and cen
sured Ii Hung Chang for remissness
and in a secret decree, deprived him of
the yellow coat and peacock feather and
reduced him in rank three degrees
Nevertheless Ii Hung Chang retains
office and inasmuch as he has been given
entire charge of the naval and military
forces enjoys all the privileges of vic
tory"
The correspondent says the incident is
entirely comprehensive TO anybody con
versant with Chinese customs.

THE CORN ISLAND CASE.
A Schooner Brings News of the Recent
Disturbance.

OlBturDauCe.
New York, Aug. 12-The schooner
George w. Whitford arrived to-day from
Corn Island, with full cargo of cocoa
nuts for H. Schepp. which will be dis
charged at the foot Of Vesey street,
New York. The Whitford was at Corn
Island during the disturbance which com
menced about July or last, and re-
suited in the killing Of four men and the
wounding Of four others. One Of the
latter was the secretary Of the governor
of the island.
According to the statement of Capt.
Hendricks, the difficulty arose out of a
claim made by an English lawyer from
some land at Corn Island Russell pre-
sented his papers, which were written
in English TO Gov. Maxine Diaz who is
a Spaniard and was unable to read them,
but having intimation of their contents
tore them in pieces before he could be
prevented.
Russell then raised such a disturbance
that the governor, having no one present
but his secretary, became alarmed and
sent to the mainland for assistance In
answer 10 his request, a boat filled with
Nicaraguan soldiers appeared, and after
landing attempted TO arrest Russell, who
in the meantime had collected several of
his acquaintance, and resisted the arrest.
Both parties opened fire and four of the
soldiers were killed, and two of the sold
iers, the governors secretary and a mer-
chant Of the place, were wounded Both
the latter were shot through the thigh.

He Will Throw 5000 Women and

Chicago, Aug. 12-Mr. Pullman has
decided to turn his striking tenants into
the streets. He made up his mind yes
terday to evict them from their homes
early this week. The excuse given for
turning the strikers out of their homes is
that the houses are needed by new work
men who have taken the places of the
strikers. Thereare now nearly 400 vacant
houses of various kinds in Pullman. as
many perhaps, as will be eeded by the
new men for some weeks. Should the
company carry out its programme in this
regard, and there is little doubt that
every striker who does not go to
work will be put out, the town of
Pullman would be almost wholly
depopulated. 1t would be, say those who
have watched the course of this whole
trouble, the most cruel eviction this
country has ever seen, if not one of the
most heartless recorded in history. 1t
seems inevitable that no less than 5000
men, women and children will be turned
into the streets. About 800 strikers are
tenants of the Pullman company, most of
them men with large families Few, if
any Of them, have paid dollar of rent
since the strike has been declared.
Most of them are at the point of
starvation and so poor they could not pay
an expressman to haul their goods out of
the town. The situation at Pullman yes
terday kept on getting worse for the
strikers who still held out. Nearly 1000
new men were employed from down town
and 100 additional ones engaged to report
tomorrow morning. The company will
then have nearly Zoo men, or within 300
of the number it expects to work this win

BATTLE OF THE P1aTAILs.
Sorry Fighting and Poor Marksman-
shin on Both Sides,


Shanghai, Aug. 12-The Japanese
squadron that attacked WeI-Hai-Wei
FRIDAY consisted of twenty-six vessels
1t is not definitely known how many of
the fleet were men-of-war. The war
ships drew up in line of battle off the
port and opened fire early Friday morn
ing. There were no Chinese warships in
the vicinity and the engagement was en-
tirely between the Japanese men-of-war
and the forts. The where
abouts of the Chinese feet
was unknown. The forts, however,
were able without much difficulty to re
pulse the attack. About fifty shots were
exchanged. but no material damage was
done ea either side. Tho soldiers man
ming the guns of the fortifications showed
themselves to be lamentably deficient in
workmanship. Most all of their shots
were lily directed, the shells either fall
ing short of the vessels aimed at or going
wide of their marks.
When the feet withdrew 10 proceeded
to Port Arthur, which place it attacked
Friday evening. Little if any damage is
reported to have been done at the latter
place, The operations are regarded as
not having been attempts to capture
either Wei -Hai-Wei or Port Arthur, but
simply ruses on the part of the Japanese
commander to ascertain the exact posi-
tion and strength of the Chinese guns at
the two places.
On Thursday last two small Chinese
gunboats were sighted going at full
speed in the direction of Tien-Tsin

one once. The fire of the warships did no
damage TO the forts
