THE WORLD AT LARGE.
Summary of the Daily News
WASHINGTON NOTES.


PRESIDENT CLEVELAND returned tC
Washington on the 22d from his trip tt
Buzzard's Bay.
1T is beginning to look trifls
squally for c. III. ]. Taylor, the coloreo
recorder of the District of Columbia
who is at the head of the democratic
negro organization which has been so
liciting funds for campaign purposes
The civil service commission was look
ing the matter up, and it was rumored
that Taylor would be removed from
Office.
THE anticipated enactment of the
new tariff bill has affected the wool
market in England, according to re-
port to the state department from
United States Consul Meeker at Brad
ford. 1t has caused quicker rates than
ever known before; buyers are eager
TO anticipate a brisk demand from the
United States and farmers were anxious
TO turn their fleeces into ready money.
The prices showed an average advance
of = to cent pound over last year,
caused by the tariff bill changes, as
the consumption of the home trade did
not warrant the advance.
REPRESENTATIVE HUDsoN (pop), of
Kansas, has introduced a resolution
into the house for the appointment of
three pension commissioners instead of
one. One would represent each polit-
zeal party, including the populists.
They would hold Office six years, and
in disputed cases majority of the
board would decide. Mr.. Hudson also
introduced a bill for the coinage of all
silver from American mines into stand
ard silver dollars.
THE civil service commission has
unanimously found C. II. ]. Taylor, re
corder of deeds for the District of CO.
1umbia, guilty of soliciting campaign
contributions from colored employees
of the government.
THE president on the oath signed the
general deficiency appropriation bill,
the last of the appropriation bills of
the session.
THE United States may have to pay
big bill to Colombia, one of the Ger
tral American republics. She persists
in claim and points to treaty of
1916, which declares that the Colom-
bians shall not be assessed any duty
upon their products imported into the
United States higher than like articles
imported from any other foreign coun-
try. That means, they contend, if
any articles entered the United States
free from Brazil and Cuba they should
enter free from Colombia also, regard
less of reciprocity treaties. Just what
the total will amount to no one can
tell at present, but steps are being
taken to ascertain the amount from
statistics

Queer Story.

SHARON, PA, Nov. l8.-The mystery
surrounding the recent assault on Mrs.
John Jack, Of Kilgore, has been partly
solved by the confession of Emerson
Osborne, a prominent member of the
Sandy Lake United Presbyterian
church. Mrs. Jack, about three weeks
ago, disappeared from her home and
was found three days later in a hollow
log, half dead. She said she had at
tempted to take her own life by beating
her head with a stone. This did not
satisfy the authorities and they arrested
Osborne. Yesterday he broke and con.
fessed all, saying that he made the as.
sault, and thinking Mrs. Jack was dead,
had placed her in the log to cover up
his crime. Osborne is a BROTHER in law
Of Mrs. Jack, and it is alleged she is
making every effort to shield him. Her
object in 80 doing can not be surmised
unless 1t be q desire to save the family
from disgrace through further investi-
cation and publication of the outrage.
Mrs. Jack is the daughter of ex-Sherif
Fleming Smith and all parties are
prominently connected.

Novel Capture Of Whales.

At Vancouver island the storms blow.
ing directly from the North Pacific
bring many whales which, getting out
of their latitude and fatigued with fruit.
less struggles, are cast upon the coast.
AS the receding tide leaves the whales
they lash their tails, unable to re.
gain deep water, and make a low, gut
tural sound as they vainly try to spout.
The native canoes, which are made Of
the trunk of a tree followed out by fire,
are instantly launched. The only
weapon used Is a barbed spear, to
which is tied a sealskin bag filled with
air, and to this a rope made of seaweed
is attached, acting as an anchor to the
bladder or ropes. A pole is fitted into
a socket in the spear head, and so ar.
ranged that II team be easily withdrawn,
leaving the head imbedded In the body
Of the whale.
Armed with these primitive weapons,
the natives set off in their fragile ca
noes and cast their spears, catching
back the loose handles. In a shorttime
the monster is covered with sealskin
bags. When the tide begins to rise the
bladders prevent the whale from sink.
ing sufficiently to use his full strength,
keeping him IN the surface of the
water. As the canoe men pull to the
shore the lines frightened, and gradually
the poor animal moves slowly and
steadily to the land. His struggles TO
free himself are tremendous, but all in
vain; struggling as a fish out of water,
he is hopelessly in the power of his lili-
putian foes. The inhabitants for miles
around crowd to the shore, singing and
beating drums made of the hollow bole
of a tree, over which is stretched the
skin Of a sea lion. AS o as the whale
is brought beyond low water mark the
work is done and they have only to
wait till the tide leaves it high and dry.

God might have give us all the treasure
OF autumn ~fruitage N harvest sheaves
Without the beauty that gives such pleasure
In purple grapes and in scarlet leaves.
Then let us out of our full hearts render
A glad Thanksgiving for fruits and flowers,
The gold of wheat and the asters splendor
Royalty robbing this land of ours.
Out in the orchards, ripe and mellow,
Like heaps of rubies and emeralds fair,
Lie apples, crimson and green and yellow,
Filling with fragrance the autumn air.
Let us with praise and thanks make mention

Pure white aster and blue fringod %gentian-
All are the gifts Of q loving God.
