The steam whaIer Belvedere arrived
from o years whaling cruise Wednes-
day with only five sperm and right
whales TO her credit When she left port
last December. she went In search Of
sperm whales In the South seas, but
with poor success. The first one that
the crews in the boats got. within reach
Of was near the Sandwich Islands. It
was q monster sperm whale, and all FIVE
boats put OFF in pursuit of it One that
was commanded by Mate Philip Cook
crept up to within range Of il, and q
bomb to which q line was attached was
successfully fired into ii, but the explo-
Gives with which the bomb was charged
failed to work.
Away the whale went, skimming
along at q frightful rate just under the
surface and flashing the water into foam
in his agony. The long line was soon
run out, bnt its end was securely fas-
tened to the boat. and the frail craft
was oon flying along in tow of the
whale. The monster did not seem to
relish being made a tugboat OF, and he
stopped and turned ON his pursuers. For
q moment he watched the occupantssof
the small boat again slowly creeping
upon. him. When about half of the in
tervening space had been covered, the
whale suddenly tipped his. huge tail in
the air and went under the surface of
the ocean. A moment later he rose
within a few yards of the boat and
went at it with a rush. his huge jaws
open and showing every indication that
o whale car of anger. l@sfore another
shot could be fred the monster rolled
over and caught the boat between his
jaws. There was q crushing of timbers,
and all the crew but one went founder
ing In the wake. The missing man was
Andrew Cook, and he sat i'm the bow of
the boat just where the great jaws came
together. IL lie supposed that he was
taken in the whales mouth. and as the
monster sank after his attack the man
was carried down far below the surface
and did mot come up again.
The men in the other boats arrived
and picked mp their struggling oom-
rades, but the crews were too much
afraid TO continue the attack, and they
put back 20 the ship with all speed.
When the whale next came 20 the sur
face, he again made an attack ON the
boat he had wrecked. and he did not
leave 10 until it was smashed into kim
ding wood. For Eve days after that
tbs whale remained about the ship i'm
viting attack from tha small boats. bat
the Infatuated monster was let alone.
and now the South sea has . giant fish

shoal places there is always a tendency
TO widen, as the volume of water COM

to dredge a narrow channel through

The Sioux City Journal a few days
ago attributed to Auditor Nipple a
scheme for regulating the liquor traffic
by state control, whereby the state
could reap revenu sufficient to make up
it's bi-eunial deficiency at the rate OF
100000 per annum. We question
whether Auditor Nipple wilt take kindly
to the credit that it is a plan of his own
invention as 1t is simply a modification
OF the Gutenberg plan of state control,
through state agents sellingin register
ed packages, the profit going to the
state. The notifications of the plan are
precisely those advocated by Alonzo
Wardall and other leading populists
three years ago and towards which the
popnlist party of this state has been
gradually drifting of late years, the cul-
mination of the movement resulting in
their adoption last summer of a plank In
their platform to provide for sstate con-
troll OF the liquor traffic under the pres
emit constitution but without profit to
the state" The designers OF the trainers
OF this plank we're, if the popullsts had
carried the Legislature, to adopt the
system now credited to Auditor Nipple,
but without profit to the state. Their
object was to do away with the open
saloon, the "blind pig" and the handling
Of liquor by druggists, thus attaining
the nearest approach to prohibition
without changing the constitution.
