Tho Former Cumbersome rfetht- Il OF Cap
turing the Sea Monsters.
The whale being well harnessed to
the boat by means of the tow-line,
which is fastened to the hesh-imbedded
harpoon, it may either turn flulzes and
sound, or, believing at times like
bull-with a greater volume Of voice,
however-it may run, as it is termed,
taking the boat in tow at a rate, it has
been estimated, all the way from ff-
teen to twenty miles an hour, when it
first starts off, but settling down to
about eight or ten knots per hour,
when it gets warmed up to it's work.
This is the old Nantucket sleigh
ride" The whale having tired itself
by running, the boat is hauled up
by the line, and side by side the
crew, with hair standing on end,
and the affrighted whale, startled
anew by the close proximity Of so
strange a load. rush through the surg
ing and fast-receding waters. The Off
Ger 'gets set" with his hand-lance,
and plunges about five or six feet of
cold iron into the lungs of the victim,
and perseveres without ceaslng in the
up and down motions, Familiarity known
as 'churning," as the boat persistently
clings to the whale, until the spout of
the unfortunate cetacean is tinged with
the crimson of his own e-blood. The
muscles OF the strong arms now relax
upon the lance, the boat is laid off, and
the dying whale swims round and
round in an unbrollen circle This is
the furry" Death is now merely
question of time. The blood
elected through the spiracles now
becomes as thick as tar. 1t is
not only a belief of whalemen, but it is
usually the fact, that the whale, during
its dying moments, SO times it's encir-
cling path as to place it's head to the
SUN. 1t now makes heavy lurch, the
sea is dashed into maelstrom of bloody
water, and the wonderous whale rolls
heavily on it's side, or partly on it's
back, with the fin projecting above the
water This is Ginning out" A one
sided jury would say that the whale
died of hemorrhage of the lungs To
use a paradoxical expression, some
dead whales are not always dead. 1t
may be in cOmatOse state, but averSe
to vivisection; and when the men again
approach it, and cut holes through the
lips to make the line fast, to tow it
to the vessel, a demolished boat or loss
of life and limbs may be the reward
Hence the more cautious whalemen
''pricl1 his eye" and if the whale does
not finch, it is supposed to be dead.
Several boats take their position in line
like tandem team of horses; the tow
ropes are properly adjusted, and the
men with merry boat-song begin the
laboriOus and monotOnous task of tow
ing the whale to the vessel A dead
whale may be towed more easily head
first, and it is also worthy of mention
that dead whale, when cast adrift,
will beat to windward, the natural mo-
tions of the fukes having a tendency to
propel the body.--James Temple Brown,

RUS SIAN SPIES.

Most Open Opponents of the Gar are
Often In Pay of the Russian Police.
Much has been written concerning
the spy organization of the Russian
government in foreign countries It is
divided ito two sections. one of which
is devoted to international questions
and to foreign affairs, while the other
and far more important is intrusted
with the surveillance of the tczar's own
high-born subjects and officials abroad
One of the most important of these
agents was, until his death year ago,
a certain count at Paris, who bore an
italian title, purchased at Rome. What
his real origin or nationality was no.
body seemed to know.
Married to a charming woman, whose
first husband held high rank in the
Russian civil service, he occupied a most
delightful house in one of the streets
leading off the Champs Elysees. His
esta blishment was rich and luxurious
Notwithstanding the fact that neither
he nor his wife had any private fortune
of their own.
His salons were thronged with Rus
sian and French officials of every rank
and Importance, few of whom realized
the fact that both their host and host
ess were maintained in all their luxury
at the expense of the imperial police
department for the purpose Of spying
Oh their talk and actions.
Another secret agent of the Russian
police was the late M. Catacazv. who
was recalled from his post as Russian
minister at Washing ton at the request
of the United States government, in
consequence of the unfortunate record
of his wife, who, although the wife of
Milanese nobleman, had openly resided
with him when he was previously at
Washington as secretary of the lega-
ton.
Mr.. Catacazy was popularity regarded,
at any rate by his countrymen, as be-
ing in disgrace, and as harboring verv
bitter feelings against everybody in au-
thority in ST. Petersburg for the man
ner in which he had been treated.
Consequently his countrymen were
less guarded in their speech when in
his presence than they otherwise would
have been, and were encouraged to crit
icise the imperial government in a very
reckless manner, being led on by M.
Catacazy's own bitter remarks
1t was only after his death that it
gradually oozed out that he had con-
tinued to the very last day of his life in
the active service Of and in constant
communication with the police depart
ment at st. Petersburg. Y. Recor-

The efrontery of Democrats who

Of the Federal Election laws are not

Tammany is in the habit of casting

come a binding sense ofan intang-

Again, about the height of a foot
rom the floor, would rise sudden
barriers that, upon investigation,
would resolve themselves into

the stairs it was of frequent occur
renee to meet the ghostly visitant,
who passed on its way with the
swish and rustic as of silk gar
ments. The mystery was never
explained, and though at times the
ghost made the other occupants of
the house feel decidedly queer, the
winters experience was upon the
whole not to be regretted.
There is a curious story of the
Charlton spur, that from time of
which the family has no record has

quaint old border custom of using
this spur to replenish the larder OF
the house of Charlton is decidedly

been invited to dinner, the spur
was served up i'll a covered dish,

that that was about the most nour.

LIVING WITH A GHOST.

The Experience of IA Group of Young
Bachelors in Washington.
The recent death of Mr.. Oswald
Charlton in England recalls some
interesting memories of his life in
Washington. Many years ago,
and previous to his marriage to
Miss Campbell of this city, he was
a young attache of the British Lee
cation. In company with several
of his friends he decided to keep
bachelors hall one winter in the
cosey double frame cottage that
formerly stood on Farragut square.
At that time rumors were current
about the premises being haunted.
1t was principally on this account
that Mr.. Charlton and his friends
selected the house in which to pass
the winter, and verify or disprove
the truth or falsity of the ghoulish
stories afoat regarding this modern
house of seven gables. The win
ter's occupancy of the house proved
most interesting chapter in the
life of the young fellows and a pro-
life source of conjecture and won
derment to their friends.
The ghostly materializations, at
least in the matter of presence felt
rather than seen, were of such fire.
quent occurrence as to awe, bewild-
er, and finally delight the party of
fun-loving fellows quartered in the
spooks' stronghold. Sitting back
as far as possible the stories, the
legend ran that at all early date,
even before the cottage had been
completed, there had been a MUIR
der committed on the ground. How
ever, as far back as the winter of
II or '72, in which the cottage was
occupied by Mr.. Charlton, know
ledge that the ghost had repeatedly
manifested itself to the fellows in
the most unmistakable manner was
the absorbing theme of interest.
Each and all their friends in turn
wished to have the opportunity of
feeling the impalpable presence, and
each in turn was given the desired
treat. However vengeful the wan
dering spirit was at heart, there
was nothing of this apparent in its
periods Of haunting the premises.
1t was more on the mischievous,
fun-loving order. The most puz-
zling thing about the ghost, which
was never really settled to the
young fellows satiaction, was in
regard to its gender, though the
weight of opinion leaned toward its
being a woman.

Sorenson, who was a candidate in
opposition to Nj Smith We arc
satisfied that he was imposed upon
in the nomination matter, and that,
had he known the situation as it
stood, he would not have permitted
his name to be used at all. The
question before the Councils was
not one of persons but of principles,
and it happens that Mr.. Smith rep

Union Party Of the Hawaiian Islands.

For the promotion of the best inter-
ests OF all the people OF the Hawaiian
Islands and the organization of a party
having only this object in view, the fol-
lowing is adopted as declaration of the
principles upon which the organization
to be known as the "Union Party" is to
be established, and upon this platform
we invite the cooperation of every
friend OF good government.
LIST. REPRESENTATIVES, GOVERNMENT
The Union party is unaterably opposed
to any form OF monarchical Govern
ment in the Hawaiian Islands, and de-
clares its full allegiance to the Provis-
ional Government endorsing the pro-
posal for a constitutional convention
looking to the extension of popular rep
resentation in the Government.
End. PoLITCAL UNION - We declare
our leading principles to be the accom-
plishment OF IA political union with the
United States OF America and the main
tenance OF stable and honest Govern
ment.
Bird. PUBLIC LANDs-We favor such
legislation as will promote the occupancy
OF all public lands. including those here,

THE election of d. b. Smith to
the Advisory Council by a flatter-
ing majority was signal success
for the movement, initiated by the
STAR, to add to the representative
character of the Provisional AS
sembly. The choice of Mr.. Smith
ended, by common consent, the
oligarchic method of filling legis-
lative vacancies. Hereafter, the
machinery of the party will be used
for that purpose instead of the pri-
vate caucus in the Council cham
Der. The net results of this reform
are many and useful. Good gov
eminent will gain by the influence
and votes of a man who is respon-
sible directly to the people and
party harmony will be cemented by
the concession which has been
made to the American League.
