The trials endured by the luckless hunter,
whose track was once discovered by this
monster, are frequently recounted. Day
after day would the hunter visit his traps,
only TO find the ruinous work of his four
footed enemy. who, not satisfied with robbing
the occasional prize, would often, simply for
the morsel of bait, completely destroy scores
of traps. Hence arose the stories of the inn
possibility of trapping the fiend. No dead
fall, snare, or spring gun ever injured this
"evil One," ana it does not require vivid
imagination to trace the growth of fiction,
when we consider the impulsive coureur de
bois after the toll of setting his chain of
traps and visiting themswith the result above
referred to, allowing himself to believe that
he was verify beset by devil, and at the
camp fire, or, better still, as the honored
guest of some credulous settler, unfolding
and enlarging upon his experiences.
These stories, however, become compre-
hehsible when we remainder that the track

shoes of the hunter on his rounds, formed an

Abstract of the More Important
Proceedings of Both Houses.
TUESDAY, APRIL IL.

In the Senate Mr. Voorhees,, Chairman of the
Finance Committee reported to the Senate
schedule showing changes in the text and rates
of duty of the tariff bill OF 1890. and the admins
tratiye act of 1890 as it passed the House. ana
as it was reported TO the Senate by the Finance
Committee, and the rates proposed by the Mills
bill.
Senator Lodge offered proposed amendment
to the pending tariff bill for the imposition of
retaliaiory rates of duty against Great Britain,
providing that when not in contravention OF
existing treaty any article not admitted free.
if il is the manufacture of Great Britain or any
of its colonies should pay double the duty
heretofore imposed and if admitted free duty
of 35 per cent be imposed, except on wool,
which should be admitted under the duties of
the act of 1890 And that these retaliatory and
discriminating duties should remain IN force
until Great Britain consented to take part In
an agreement with the United States for the
coinage aud use of silver. and when such agree
ment was made the discriminating duties
should cease.
Senator Mitchell sought to have the Chinese
treaty considered in open session, but objection
was made by Mr. Sherman.
long discussion was precipitated by state
ment by Mr.. Harris that the unanimous con-
sent agreement under which the Senate ope-
rated last week having expired further agree
nent had been reached by him and Senator
Aldrich, and he asked the unanimous consent
of the Senate that for the present week and
until Tuesday next the agreement OF last week
should continue, namely. that the Senate
shonld meet each day at II o'clock take up the
tariff bill promptly at 1 o'clock, and continue
with it until o'clock without interruptions,
and that Tuesday next at o'clock, general
debate should cease, and the bill after that
taken mp and considered by paragraphs for
amendments, the committee amendments to be
considered first. He also suggested that before
II
Senator should speak in favor of the BILL
making such reply to those who had spoken
against it as he chose.
After brief Executive session the tariff bill |
was taken up. and Senator McBaurin made his |
maiden speech in support of the bill.
Senator Smith followed in an earnest speech |
which was devoted entirely to an attack on the
income tax.

ment yesterday.
