400 people, III all degrees of experience,

fesstonal man to the work ingman, have
made rush to the gold fields Of the
mighty Yukon river aud its numerous
tributaries. The upshot to many Of the

GOLD BARoNs OBJECT,

A Bill Which Would Destroy the Great
est Power Of Yellow Coin.
WASHINGTON; July .-Busines.
circles will he interested In the bill re.
ported by the house committee on ju.
dietary providing that ali contracts
hereafter executed for the payment Of
any sum Of money. whether in gold,
silver or other coin, may be discharged
by any money which Is by law legal
tender for the payment of debts. The
author of the measure, Mr.. Lane Of Ill.
inois, explains that it is intended to
regulate practice In federal courts in re.
gard to entering judgments and to pre-
serve the stability and uniformity OF
currency.
The law is now that gold and silver
coin and treasury notes are legal tender
for the payment Of all debts, public and
,rivate. For private transactions be-
tween individuals, the law makes boil,
kinds Of money equal, and Mr.. Lane
says neither the courtsn or private indi-
viduals have any tight 10 annul the
law. This the federal courts have
done in holding that judgment can be
entered in "c1ined dollars" for the
purpose Of annuIing the act Of cong ress
making ire sury notes legal tender.
In r. gland it was fel.ny to discredil
coin or real money. The courts oi
France have held TINT parties cannot
by special contracts discriminate Le-
tween bank notes Of the bank of France
and coined money. Several state
courts passed upon the question and
construed the law substantially as 1t
was held by the courts of France.
ills tothe interest of society, says Mr..
Lane. that money should be used in
business, but 1t is unjust that borrow
ers should, in addition to the risk OF
business. be held responsible for the
fluctuations of currency. When the
money of the country is loaned under
gold contracts, then the money power
can increase its wealth by forcing gold
pay much more than the amount Dor
rOWed.
Others Think Differently.
A different view of this question is
taken by the republicans Of the com
mittee, except Mr.. Broderick Of Kan
sas, all Of whom voted against the bill.
w. A. Stone of Pennsylvania says the
success of such a measure would lie
menace TO the very foundations of bust
ness. Particularly would 1t lie ciisas-
trous to foreign dealings, and to COM
inerc;al paper. Most of the bonds Of
municipalities, states aud corporations,
ne said. are payable In gold coin, and
under such law there would lie no
safeguards to prevent the lenders OF
money, either individuals or organiza-
tions, from being paid In Deprecated
currency. He regarded it as the out
cropping of free silver measure and a
step In that direction.

 Searcy and Long hurried up to the bird. and Searcy stopped over to pick it up. Just as he was about to seize the bird 1t Tapped its good wing and struck the boy stunning blow in the face. knocking him down. searcy knew by this time that he was not dealing with chicken hawk. He wanted to capture the bird alive. so. Instead of shooting it. he went at It with his clubbed gun. He struck at the birds head with the gun, but the blow was dodged. and before he could gather himself for another blow the eagle flew at him and fastened his long hooked beak fin his arm.
 By this time Long came to his com panion's assistance with a stick Of wood. He struck tho eagle over the neck with the stick 80 that the bird was dazed. The two. boys bounced on the bird together, and bound his legs and wings together with some twine they happened to have in their pockets. They thought they had had exciting experiente enough for one hunting day, so they carried the bird in triumph to Long's home. The bird measured ex- actly seven feet from tip to tip Of It's wings.

KNOCKED DOWN BY AN EAGLE.


 Stanley Searcy has a lonesome-look- ing bald eagle cooped up in the rear of the Enterprise Hotel. Young Searcy and his friend John Long took shot, gun and setter dog and went out along Bull Creek Friday morning on a hunt ing expedition. Rabbits and quail seemed to be very scarce, as the two boys did not succeed in bagging a thing up to about three o'clock in the afternoon. .
 As they walked across a big field, Searcy saw what he thought an unusu- ally big chicken hawk strutting about on the bank of the creek. The two boys creot up 10 within a short dis tarice of the bird without alarming It. Searcy lifted his gun to his shoulder and pulled the trigger, but the cap failed to ignite the powder.This star tied the bird, which, attempted to fly away. It was about five feet above the ground when Searcy pulled the other trigger. This time the gun went oil, and the bird fell with broken wing. The dog ran up to the bird, and was about to seize 1t in his mouth, when

An Edible Dog in Baltimore.


 The Chinese "chow'' dog which has been presented to Lyon, Hall 6 Co. by Captain Mahany of the bark Foohne 6uey. from Hong Kong, is one of many kinds of dogs that are eaten in China The word "chow" Is Chinese for food and has been transplanted into Eng. fish in the word "chow-chow." The full name of the species of dog present cd by Captain Mahany is "Chinese black-tongued chow dog" It Is vel. low, with comparatively long hair, and not unlike collie or an Esquimaux dog in size and general appearance, It's head resembles that of g. wolf and it's tongue Is 30 black as to make it look as if the animal had been drink ing ink. Dog meat is one of the regu- lar items in Chinaman's bill of fare when he Is able to get 1t.
 Few persons in this country have any idea of the variety of queer things eaten in China," said MT. J. Crawford Lyon yesterday. Dogs, cats, rats, anglewornas. insects. fowls, and rep tiles of every. sort" he continued, "are to be seen on sale in meat shops every where in that empire. They are kept alive and killed as soon as purchasers have selected them: they can be bought already slain. but uncooked, or they can be bought cooked. The blood from the slaughter is kept and made into soups and other dishes.
 '"nhe black-tongued chow dog Is the dog most often eaten, but, as far as I saw when was in China, there is no species of the animal which the na- tives will not eat. There are some kinds that are considered more dainty than others. just as in this country in the case of hogs. but the average Chi naman is so poor that he is glad to get anything to eat.
 'The ordinary food of chow dogs is rice and fish. Meat is not given to them, because 1t is believed that it will make them mad. never heard of any special food heinz given them to make their flesh more palatable when eaten.
 T have tasted dog meat in Canton. It was served like praised beef, and I found thAt 1t. had no special or peculiar taste and was not ct all disagreeable It is served in 2 number of styles"
 MT. John R. Tait, the artist. in a let ter to the Sun, suggests that ''the re- cent difie,1lty of the Baltimore custom house appraisery in determining the value of the chow dog might have been settled had they, classified 1t as edible meat, essilyi Some years ago laurel crown was ssnf by Belgian artists to vien1a to be tlicsd there on the coS- m ok the painter Hans Makart.

 ''The president then remarked. Well, Mir. - came to me with the petition. It made me very angry and dismissed him roughly. Afterward felt so ashamed of myself for having lost my temper that made out pardon for the man and gave 1t to him.

An Anecdote Of Lincoln.

ID. II. Mitchell In the Independently
 The Rev. Dr. P. D. Gurley was the minister in charge of the New-Yorh avenue Presbyterian church, Washing ton, D. C., during Lincoln's administra' ton. Dr. Gurley was Lincoln's pastor and in many matters his confidential adviser, a post he was admirably fitted to fill. being a strong, robust, honest personality and a man of sweet dis position, great ability and excellen, judgment. a.
 During the meeting of the general as. sembly of the Presbyterian church af. ter the war, which convened in St. Louis, Dr. Gurley, who was a delegate was one day the guest of the Rev. Dr. Nicolls, in whose church the assembly met, and the following anecdote of Lin coin was related by Dr. Gurley at din ner in the presence of number Of friends, among whom was the present writer:
 Soon after the outbreak of the hos. tilities a hot-blooded, fire-eating young man, son of members of Dr. Gurley's church, made his way through our lines and enlisted in the Confederate army The fortunes of war threw him into our hands as a prisoner. It was deemed best to make an example of him, and he was consequently court-martialled and sentenced to be shot. Dr. Gurley interested himself in, the young mans behalf and secured a communication of the sentence. A, NsB time after the father of the boy came to Dr. Gurley and solicited his aid to obtain a pardon, Dr. Gurley strongly advised against the effort. He pointed that the young mans life had been Saved by the president, and that 1t would be extremely unwise and imprudent to apply for a pardon so soon., Theifa ther replied that he felt SO himself. lblM that his wsse took on SC ah6ut her son.that he, feapAd she would lose her mind if something were not done. I must said he,1 make the at- tempt on his mothers account. It Is better to fail than not to try Conse- qHently Dr. Gurley signed the. petition for a pardon and the father took 1t to President Lincoln.
 When the father mads known his er- rand the presidsutsscaile very much excited and flercelys sAd: T saved the life of your son after he had been con- demned to be shot; and now you come here so soon when you know I am over whelmed with care and anxiety, asking for his pardon. You should have been content with what had done. Go; and if you annoy me any more I shall feel it to be my dutyto consider wheth- CT I ought not to recall what have al- ready done.'
 "A few days after the, president sent for the father, apologlzed for the way he had spoken to him, and, to his ut- ter astonishment, handed him par don.
 Mot long after, and before knowing what had transpired, Dr. Gurley met the president. Having transacted his business he was about to go when Mr. Lincoln said:
 By the way, doctor, you signed the petition for MT. -s sons pardon. didn't you?"
