AN ANGRY WHALE.
Seal-Hunters Attacked by
a Monster.
RAD BEEN WOUNDED BEFORE
A Boat Followed for Hours i'm the
Open Sea - Rescued When
Completely Exhausted.

Oscar WetZwaggar, head hunter of the
sealing schooner Edward Webster, tells of
a remarkable conflict which he and a
boats crew had with a sperm whale off
the coast of Japan in June last. The
event was all the more remarkable on ac-
count of the extreme rarity of the ocea-
sions known when these monsters of the
deep have voluntarily attacked boats
without apparent proyocaioD. The in-
stinct of the whale generally prompts it
to escape pursuit, and it is only when
struck and suffering agonies of pain that
he turns upon his tormentors and exerts
The enormous strength of his fukes or
jaws in crushing whaling boats as if they
were paper and killing or di aiding sea-
men.
In the instance related by the seal
hunter the boat was about four miles from
the schooner. The day was calm and a
large number of seals had been shot.
About O'Clock in the afternoon the seals
Iii the vicinity suddenly disappeared, as is
customary when danger threatens them,
very much to the surprise of the hunters,
who began preparations TO leave the
enthusiastically, however. as the day
had promised unusually we'll. Suddenly
huge whale arose to the surface and made
for the boat. The hunters were paraly zed
with fear, but managed TO dodge the on
set. Again and again did the whale at
tempt to overturn the boat, but the hunt
ers managed to get out OF hiS way each
time. Their strength was being exhausted,
but they were desperate.
The whale seemed bent upon the de-
struction of his foes and would have been
successful but for The timely arrival IF the
schooner, which rescued the hunters when
it seemed as though their strength could
hold out but little longer The whale was
persisten, aud threatening and for four
long weary hours attempted in its clumsy
way To compass the destruction of the
men, which ne would have been successful
in doing but for their timely rescue.
The ferucitY displayed by the monster
was accounted for by its having been
recently wounded by some unknown
whalers. There were several gaping

PhILATELIC OBSERVATIONS.

Few stamp collectors have had a more
varied. extended aud interesting expert
ence than Mr.. Louis Levison, brief out
line of whose philatelic career was given
in these columns some weeks ago. His
fund of knowledge on his pct hobby is al
most inexhaustible. and he is always a
willing and enthusiastic talker on this sub
ject. He has come in contact with many
of the most noted stamp collectors and
dealers in the world and, being keen OBJ
server, the relation of his personal obser-
vations in the field of philately have a
strong interest.
For many years." said he the other day,
''the great majority of collectors were

nent people socially, financially and pro-
fessionally are philatelists, or students of

ECHOES OF THE STRIKE.
Tfeup at Chicago End of Rock Island
Complete-Situation Serious.


CHICAGO, July 1.-The tieup of the Rock
Island railroad was almost complete at
the Chicago end Saturday. The switch
men, switch tenders and tower men went
out almost to man, over 400 stopping at
7 O'Clock in the morning. The men were
not expected to go out until noon and
their unexpected action left the road in
bad shape.
One OF the switchmen at Englewood
threw his switch and locked it, leaving
the yards just before the heavy Omaha
train arrived. The train was brought to
standstill in time to avoid wre ok, and
after delay the switches were set and
the train pulled into the depot, carrying
its Pullmans. The suburban service
suffered severely. Switches at many
places were spiked and at Blue Island, a
southwestern suburb, several trains were
stopped and serious trouble narrowly
averted. Crowds of strikers swarmed
through the yards, uncoupling cars as
fast as they We're attached to the engines
and interfering with the work in many
ways.
Two of the dummy" trains were de-
tanned for five or six hours, and the Off
Gals of the road were compelled to man
the switches and towers. At several
points in the yards police were called to
maintain order. General Superintendent
Dunlap, after tour of the yards, ad-
mitted.that the situation was serious.
I'VE expect" Mr.. Dunlap said. ito
have trains running smoothly in a very
short time. We will put new men in the
places of the strikers at once and believe
that many of our men will go back to
work shortlyr
