offers from $500 to 5000 per week She was
tempted only by lecture bureau offers, but

and that she will not do. "She has n young

modestly in fat or little house with
her brother and write. and her offers in

THE WILD BEAST CONTEST
Efforts to Prevent the Fight Between a
Lion and GrIzzly Hear.


Lion and a Gri2ziy Bear.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 16.-The fight nm
nounced to take place in Boone's arena at
the Midwinter fair next Saturday even
ing between Colonel Boone's African lion
Parnell and a grizzly bear recently cap
tured in the mountains has stirred up
serious trouble between the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and
the executive committee of the exposition.
The society announces that the fight can
not come off, and if it is necessary war
rants will be sworn out for the arrest of
the executive committee, not stopping at
Director General Dc Young, in order to
prevent the contest.
Preparations for the struggle continue.
Nearly all of the seats are said to have
been sold at prices ranging from $40 to so
each, and tickets will probably be at
premium when the fight begins.
Pnrnell is one of Colonel Boone's per-
forming lions, but recently has become SO
fer0cious that he is kept confined in n
special cage, and in his physical appear
nnce is perfect. The grizzly bear is fine
specimen, fresh from the mountains, and
weighs $50 pounds mere than the lion.

SENATOR vANcE,s DEATH.
He Had just Returned to Washington
Whom stricken with AnnnInxv.


Whom stricken with ApopIexy.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator zebu-
lon B Vance, of North Carolina, died Sat
urdny night at his home in this city. SEN
ator Vance was stricken with paralysis
some months ago, and since that time
had been travelling throughout the in
search of health. He returned to Wash
tneton at nm early hour yesterday appar-
emily feeling we'll. He suffered stroke
OF apoplexy however, at II o'clock in the
morning, aud was unconscious to the end.
He lived at Charlotte, was "a years old,
and was elected TO congress as a Democrat
twice before the war. He was elected
governor of North Carolina in 1862, while
serving as u colonel in the Confederate
army, and was reelected in 1864. He was
elected to the United States senate in No
vember, 1870, but was refused admission,
and resigned his commission iii 1872 In
1876 he was elected governor for the third
time, and was again chosen to the United

say unat 1t is not right that Colonel BreeR-
inridge should retain his seat In congress,
while Miss Pollard is ostracized, as she
undoubtedly will be, from society.
This meeting was the last of series
which prominent women of Washington
have been holding since Good Friday, and
which crystalized into the formation of an
organization called the Woman's Protect
i've league. The object of the league will
be to combat the text uttered on the wit
ness stand by Colonel Breckinridge that
social sins injnre man, but destroy
women. The league will endeavor to Sc
cure equal rights for both sexes, and to
aid women who have been wronged. 1t is,
of course, an outgrowth of the Pollard
Breckinridge trial The ladies have In
vited Judge Jere Wilson to become gem
eral counsel Of the league, but the attor-
ney has not yet responded to the invita-
tion,

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
The Flight Over the Quorum Counting
Rule the Principal Business.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-The struggle
over the adoption Of the new quorum
counting rule decided upon by the Demo-
cratic caucus last Friday will bs the feat
ure of tho present week in the house. In-
asmuch as about one-third of the Demo-
Gratis are violently opposed TO any quorum
counting rule, as indicated by the vote in
the caucus, 1t will be Impossible for the
Democrats alone to adopt such rule.
The Republicans will, however, acquiesee
in the adoption OF any rule that contains
tho essential principle of recording as
present but not voting those members
who decline to respond to their names
This Is the parliamentary principle which
Mr.. Reed has been contesting ever since
the end of the F1fty-flrst congress. 1t
must be embodied in any new rule sub
mitted to the house orit cannot be adopted.
1t is expected when the rule is presented
Mr., Reed will mako one of tho greatest
speeches of his life. Owing to the death
of Senator Vance both houses adjourned
today, and the fight over the new rule in
the house is postponed until tomorrow.
1t Is probable that but little time will be
allowed for debate, and the chances are
that when the house adjourns tomorrow
evening the quorum counting rule will
have been adopted and iilibustering of the
kind which has characterized the proceed
ings of the house for the past three years
will be thing of the past.
The resolution adopted by the caucus
instructing the sergeant alarms to en-
force Section 40 of the revised statutes, de-
Quoting the salary of absent members,
save on account of sickness, il is believed,
will have the effect of securing very full
attendance in the house hereafter As
soon as the new order of things has been
inaugurated in the house the considera-
tion Of the appropriation bills will be re-
sumed and will consume the remainder of
the week.
With the exception of the Chinese treaty,
which is to be considered tomorrow, and
the routine morning business of eaeh day,
the week in the senate promises nothing
.,uti. 80 I..... L
