The Courageous Animal Tunnels Through
Nine Feet of Earth.
The following peculiar incident Is
told by Baltimore man as occurring
to his fox terrier: Zone day, while the
cellar door was open, the dog descended
in search OF rats, at about nine o'clock.
At half-past nine the dog was searched
for and thought lost No further no
tice was taken In the matter until the
next morning at eleven o'clock. when
was attracted by dog yelling. After
a careful search In the cellar, which re-
vealed only pile of sand by the wall,
/ noticed the dogs rose protruding
through an inch board at the top win
dow of the cellar looking into tho back
yard. went Immediately upstairs and
removed Ave bricks from the pavement
and pulled the dog out. After care
full inspection discovered he had dug
under the foundation of the house in

An Animal That IL Not Usually Easily
frightened.

Frightened.
The polar bear Is not social AMI
NAL; the two cubs generally keep to-
gether for some time after they have
left the mother, but in later life, as
rule, each travels by itself. About the
subject of tho polar bears courage and
forocity, the author of polar Bear
Shooting" says there Is great di-
vergence Of opinion, attributable 20
the different circumstances In which IL
has been met.
1t happened several times during the
German expedition 20 the east coast OF
Greenland. In ls6o-70, that the crew
were attacked by bears, and one of the
men, Bergen by name, was once
dragged a considerable distance.
Ho had been out IN tho evening TO
read the thermometer, which was
placed on land, and while on his way
back 70 the vessel was suddenly at
tackled by bear, Having no time 70
aim, he tried 20 brighten II with the
bull's-eye lantern which he carried;
but without taking the slightest no
ticc OF this, the bear threw him down,
bit him in the head, and then started
20 drag him away.
His cries were heard and his friends
fastened TO his assistance. On hearing
the shots, which were fred with the
intention Of frightening II, the bear
retired few PAGES, but returned and,
seizing the man again, dragged him
with him at gallop over the uneven
ice. At last it ran away for good.
Bergen was badly wounded, but
thanks 70 his thick fur cap, his head
escaped being crashed.
In other cases the polar bear has
been known TO be easily frightened.
One of DR.. Kane's followers, who
was awakened by tho growing of a
bear which had put it's head In at the
tent door, resorted TO the expedient OF
thrusting box of lighted sulphur
matches under its nose. The bear
magnanimously forbore 10 avenge the
insult and took itself off.

THE CARLISLE 17lL IN TIE HOUSE.

An Effort to be Made to Press the Meas
ure to Vote ON Friday Next Though
There Is Opposition TO Such Speedy Ac-
tion.
WAsHNGTON Dec. iI-Tho Nicaragua
canal bill holds its place as the unfinished
business in the senate calendar, and the
general understanding appears to be that
1t will continue TO occupy the attention Of
the senate with few Interruptions, and
those by consent, until vote is taken
upon IT, The bill only comes up on each
day after the disposal of the morning busi-
ness and it will surrender this place tenn
porarily on Thursday to permit the cere-
monies in commemoratiOn of Webster and
Stark and the unveiling Of their statues,
which have been placed in the Capitol.
There is also a probability that the com
mittee on appropriations may ask consid.
Grafton for the urgent deficiency bill to-
ward the last Of the week. There is little
probability, however, that any of the other
appropriation bills will receive the atten-
| tion of the senate during the week.
The disposition among senators is favor
able to an adjournment on Thursday until
after the Christmas holidays, bus IL is
| probable that the house viii not consent TO
! this arrangement, and chat the adjourn
meut will be delayed until Saturday. The
program theroforp with reference to the
holiday adjournment, so far as one has
been arranged, is TO adjourn on Saturday
until Thursday, Jan 3.
Some senators predict that the final vote
on the Nicaragua hiil will be reached this
week, but the friends OF the bill scarcely
hope for this result. They realize that the
precedents Of the senate are all against
such speedy action ON measure Of such
| Importance, and they are also prepared to
encounter opposition which has not yet
| taken definite shape Senator Gallery $
| objection to an agreement for a vote on
| the bill on Wednesday next is understood
| to have been made upon constitutional
| grounds, and it is quite probable that he,
with several other senators, including Tel
! Ter, Vest George and Villas, will desire to
| be heard in opposition TO the measure be
fore it shall he disposed of.
The week promises to be an exciting one
in the house. The banking and currency
committee have arranged to bring forward
the Carlisle banking bill, and today pre-
ferrcd a request TO the committee on rules
for special order, which win set aside
| the Remainder Of the week, beginning to-
morrow, for debate on the bill, with pro-
vision for a ina, vote on Friday next. The
banking committee desires to prolong the
sessions so as to h,- . q. m. md con-
| tiuuc until l0:5J dgui-a-, Tl,I ar.us,5
from D until p. m.
There is considerable opposition among
the Democrats of the house to the short
time it is proposed to act upon the debate.
Many of them feel that Il measure involv-
