Not a Lynx.

Montfort New Era.
Thursday morning, while Frank
Shipley was choring around his pre-
mices, he saw a strange animal which
he thought to be lynx. He tried every
way to corner and catch it but soon
found it was more than one mans
work and concluded he'd come to town
and get help. Arthur Stephens and
Clarence Mcdonald at once left their
respective woodpiles and responded to
the Call Of duty. Ian. Thomas and
VIM. Nichols were also mustered in
service and the quarttete proceeded to
the scene of action and, with true
diplomatic strategy their game was
soon secured; they sent on in advance,
the old, historic message, 1--WE have
met the enemy and it is ours" When
the victorious party arrived they
proudly hung their trophy of the chase
in front of Mr.. Thomas store. 1t is
beautiful jack rabbit of unusual size
and the second of its kind we know OF
ever being found in this country.

The Appropriation sumcient for Its
Collection.

Washington. Aug 2-Representative
Sayers, chairman OF the house COM
mittee on appropriations. brands as
false and sensational the story printed
today to the effect that the startling
preparation committee had negliguntly
or by design, failed to allow the sum
necessary TO collect the income tax.
every allowance for Collection OF
the income tax has been made in nc
cordance with the Wishes OF the
treasury department. said Mr..
sayres. "Thc commissioner OF internal
revenue conferred with me last week
on the subject and l asked hial to talk
with Secretary Carlisle and then suu-
nit n resolution covering just what lao
wanted. This was sent 10 me on Satur-
day. II called Tor an additional 5000
! for clerical help In the internal revenue
| bureau, l introduced the resolution on
| Monday last and 1t was passed. IL
I Is just as the treasury department
1 authorities want IT,"
/ II appears that some time since Com
| missioner Miller wrote to AIR Snyets
| suggesting an increase IN the nppro-
! priauon in case the income tax was
adopted. But this was before the
measure passed. AS soon as II passed
AIR. sayers sent Tor MI Miller and it
was n result Of this meeting that the
commissioner prepared the resolution
of $1,000 and had 1t indorscd by Score
tary carlisle, The fact is pointed out
that the Internal revenue bureau has
very large general appropriation
/ available so that the acnre about lack
OF funds Is unwarranted. The Income
tax does not go into effect until Janu-
AIRY !, 1895, one month after the next
session OF congress opens. IL IL be-
licved that the appropriation OF 5000
Will be ample for the treasury depart
ments uses. but Il there prove 10 be
small deficiency they say IL can be
provided for at the next session. In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Miller
said that lnnsmuch as the tax, n the
bill should become n law would not 80
into effect until January / next, and
no repnrts are required 10 be made
until March /. Following the failure to
make the appropriation would not
cause amy great Inconvenience MS the
bulk Of the force required for its exc
oution would nc>be needed until after
the beginning OF the next year. IN
the meantime the commissioner with
his present force VIII prepare the In
structlons and be ready TO take up tho
work at the beginning OF the year. MIR
Miller estimates that when the Law
shall go into effect the annual eXpens,
to the government on this account vii
be 100000 OF which $4,000 will be eN
pended In the employment OF additiuna

SEAL FISHERIES.

To Protect the Seals in Behring
Sea.
CONGRESS AT A sTANDsTllL.


Washington, Aug. 22.-The state de-
partment ho' Initiated the next phase
OF the seP,o . uestion By addressing
an indie ~, all maritime powers
inVitinb ~ ere TO the agree
ment real $ y 'ited States and
Great BrltA >."L. the protee-
necessary by 4. u Of the Paris
arbitration, which md that the
United States had 10 exclusive iuris-
dietion over the seal waters, ana that
these could be protected by mutual
agreement BY the terms Of the treaty
submitting her cases to arbitration
Great Britain was bound TO agree to
the arrangements rs to close OF the
seasons and closed seasons proposed
by the arbitration tribunal. This, Of
course, could have no effect upon other
nations. ana vessels sailing under the
flags Of Germany, France, Russia,
Sweden or even Hawaii were LEFT by
the award free to prey upon the seals
anywhere outside OF the three mile linz
1t from the Alaskan shores. This tribu-
nal recommended that an effort be
made 10 secure the adhesion Of other
maritime powers to the same arrange
ment that bound the United States
and Great Britain. 1t is true that the
seals have not suffered from the opera
lions from the sealers or these nations,
but there were indications that cer-
tain enterprlsing people were making
ready to conduct raid upon seals
under other flags than our own and
notably the Hawaiian and German
flags. and II was felt TO be the best
course TO avoid any dlaagreeable Incl
dents In the future by securing adj
hesion Of the remaining maritime ma
lions 70 the agreement. The United
States already has modus vivendi with
Russla By the terms Of which the seal
ers of each country are prohibited from
Infringing upon the seal waters of the
other and as Japan has extensive seal
rOolleries on her own coast, II is be-
lieved that these two nations, at least,

agreement Is mutually protective, with
