Army and NAVY.

The wellknown desire of Secretary Herbert
to place an officer of high rank in charge of the
Naval Academy on the expiration of Capt.
Phythian's term of service in that capacity in
June next has revived the rumOr that Rear
Admiral John G. Walker is to be assigned to
that duty. This is mainly due to the we'll
authenticated belief that Admiral Walkers
assignment to the command of the Pacific Sta
tion is merely temporary.
Secretary Herbert has written the following
letter to Rear-Admiral Benham: Upon your
retirement from active service desire to ex-
press to you the Departments appreciation OF
the ability and good judgment shown by you
in guarding American interests while in COM
mand OF the South Atlantic station. Your

THE COYOTE.
Something About the Barking Wolf of I'll
Plains,

Something About the Barking Wolf of the
Plains.
The scent of the coyote is not nearly so
sharp as his eyesight, else how could any
sage grouse or broad-bill duck nest in coyote
land without being promptly found and
eaten? asks writer in ST. Nicholas. AS to
game, he kills all kinds of small ground
game, young deer and antelope. His speci-
atty, however, is feeding upon dead car
cases of large animals, either wild or tame.
This being the case, when on our buffalo
hunt in Montana, in 1886, we got many fine
coyotes for our collection by putting around
the buffalo carcasses numerous bits of lean
meat duly charged with strychnine. The
ranchmen and cowboys of the West have
slaughtered tens of thousands of coyotes in
this way to protect their young calves and
sheep, and also to make money from pelts
and bounties.
The barking habit of the coyote is very
dOg-like, and his old name of barking wolf is
very appropriate. When collecting man.
mails in Wyoming, it was a very common
thing for US to hear the coyotes around our
camp set up great barking in chorus at the
first sign of day break, just when the ROSTERS
begin to crow on the farm. 1t is q wild and
uncultivated kind of bark, ending in a
falsetto howl, and resembles the cry of the
jackal of India more nearly than any other
sound / ever heard.
But Sir Coyote is cute. He knows exactly
the distance that constitutes fair rihe-range,
and he knows just as well whether the
stranger is armed as does the stranger HIM
self. When hunting in the ShOshone Mount
aims in 1889, wanted to kill coyote for 8
special purpose, but never once succeeded in
getting fair shot, even at 200 yards. For
10 days we banged away industriously at
every one we saw, but never touched hair.
Finally, at Corbett's ranch, left the expe-
dition, and started north by stage, leaving
behind me rife, revolver, knife and even
scissors. Just two hours after / had said good
by to my shooting-irons and taken the buck
board stage" we saw coyote ahead of US,
close to the trail. Seeing US coming, he
selected soft spot, sat down within 80
yards of the trail, and waited for u.s.
We drove up, stopped as we got opposite
him, and still he did not run. That villain
sat there coolly and looked US over without
moving a muscle, but with a leer that plainly
said, Now, don't you wish you had your
old gun?" When we got through making
faces at him, and wishing for gun, revolt
yer, or even q common stone to fire at him,
we drove on; and then he got up and went
on hunting for jack-rabbits. To this day / |
have been puzzling over the question, show
did that gray rascal find out so quickly that
both the Lriver and / were totally I'M
armed?" That he did know it perfectly
well l have no doubt whatever, for no coy
ote ever waited like that for O man with a
gun.

Secretary Herbert has disposed of the cases
of Commander Heyerman and Lieut.. Lyman,
found guilty by court-martial Of causing the
wreck of the Kearsarge on Roncador Reef
The court sentenced Commander Heyerman to
two years suspension from duty on waiting
order pay, and to remain stationary in his
grade. Secretary Herbert reduced this sentence
to ono year. Lieut. Lyman was sentenced TO
one year suspension under similar conditions
and to be publicly Feprimanded. Secretary
Herbert allows the suspension to stand, but sets
aside the sentences 80 far as it involves a repri-
mand.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 25.

In the Senate, Mr.. Allen offered a resolution
declaring that since Coxey's army was peace
able host and had an undoubted right to as
semble on the Capitol grounds and elsewhere,
they should not be arrested or otherwise dis
turbed so long as the members were quiet and
law-abiding The resolution went over.
A long argument followed Mr.. Harris's re-
quest for unanimous consent to consider the
tariff bill from 1 to 6 o'clock each day this
week.
Mr.. Harris being refused unanimous consent
to his proposition put it in the form OF a motion
and said it could go over until tomorrow.
The tariff bill was then taken up to be read
by paragraphs. The first formal reading of the
bill was dispensed with. Senator Aldrich spoke
against the bill when the first amendment was
reached that fixing the date when it should go
into effect In the course of his remarks he
said there was not feature of the bill which
would not strike deadly blow at some Amer-
can industry. No bill ever had been introduced
In either House of Congress which SO CON-
pletely revolutionized the policy inaugurated
by the founders of the Nation, and which had
been in force over hundred years.
Considering the first amendment ia the first
paragraph, changing the time when the bill
should take effect, from the LIST to the Both of
June, 1894. he asserted that there was not
Senator on the Democratic side of the Chamber
who was so sanguine as to believe that the bill
could become law by the date fixed in the
amendment unless the suggestion made yester-
day by the Senator from Texas Or. Mills) to
resort to revolutionary methods involving the
cooperation Of the Vice President and limited
debate was carried out. he asserted that no
ore knew the form in which the bill would be
presented finally for the vote of the Senate, for
She newspapers gave information that negotia-
tions were in progress on the Democratic side
for the purpose of catching votes for the passage
OF the bill.
Senator Vest denied this Mr. Aldr;eb de-
clared that it must be going on without the
Senator's knowledge, for he knew that changes
were being made from day to day to secure
votes on the Democratic side OF the Chamber
Nr. Platt followed, with much the same line
Of argument
The remainder Of the day was taken up by
various Senators in argument and bantering.

SATURDAY, APRIL %.

In the House, the army appropriation bill was
taken up. The bill carries $23 563, 2s4, $751;
355 less than the appropriations for the current
fiscal year. Mr.. Cultivate. who was personally
in charge of the bill, in the course of brief
explanation of the new features of the BILL
stated that the committee proposed to strike
out the provision which restricted appoint
ments to the Office of Major. General until the
number should have been reduced below two,
and limiting the number of Major Generals
hereafter to two, the senior officer to hold the
brevet rank of Lieutenant General -
Debate under the five minute rule followed.
MONDAY. APRIL 80.
In the Senate, the feeling in the tariff debate
several times assumed so high tension that
one hasty word might have precipitated seri-
Gus phase. The feeling on both sides was
wrought up to the highest pitch of resentment.
Nearly every Senator on the Democratic side
during the seven hours Of debate spoke in
tones of violent Indignation.
After all this Mr. Quay delivered another in
stallment of his tariff Speech and the Senate
adjourned at $50.
In the House, the Army appropriation bill
was considered and finally passed by vote of
yeas 119, nays 26.

which was much TO be deplored. Their right
to come here and visit the Capitol was SO plain,
SO evident that any suspicion about 1t was
reflection on the intelligence of the country.
He was opposed to the preamble, however,
IL 1t meant to include those men who had
trampled OH the laws injured private property
and undertaken to secure transportation TO
this city by force of arms, for then he emphatic
ally dissented from it.
"This issue must be met right here and
now" he added. "We cannot for one instant
hesitate or falter in view of what has been done
in this country in the last few days in the
name of the unemployed wOrkmen.
Mr.. Wolcott also entered a vigorous protest
against passing the resolution. Mr.. WolcOtt
said the times were ont of joint but what made
them so might be attributed to one cause or
another. He believed that most of the men in
Coxey's army might be honest. but they were
led by men who were cranks insane or vicious.
Mr. Allen defended his action in introducing
the resolution, and spoke for some time. In
the course of his speech he called these gather
ings the Spontaneous uprising of American
citizens against wrong and oppression" He
denied that it was socialistic movement;
whether it was Populistic he did not know, be-
cause he did not know whether any Populists
were enlisted in it. 1t was, he said, peaceable
gathering of men engaged in peaceable pro-
ject.
At 1:45 o'clock, before any action had been
taken on the resolution, Mr.. Harris moved to
take up a resolution providing that :" NOR

The Senate without division then agreed to
the resolution and Mr.. Harris moved to take

floor in opposition to the bill.

ate adjourned yesterday, was recognized and
gave further installment of his tariff speech,
begun OH the 20th instant, taking up for dis
cussion the glass and pottery schedule.
In the House, the Diplomatic appropriation

rose. The bill was passed, and the House then,

Abstract of the More Important
Proceedings of Both Houses.
TUESDAY, APRIL "a.


In the Senate, the feature of the day was the
speech of Senator Mills. The BILL he said, was
strictly party measure, and had been party
measure from the foundation of tho Govern
rnent and from the foundation and organiza-
ton of the Democratic party. If he had been
chosen to construct this bill, ana had haa the
a members on the Democratic side OF the
chamber in accord with his views, he would
have constructed it on far different lines. He
would not have left coffee and tea on the free
list. and put cotton, WOOL coal, and iron on the
dutiable list.
II had always been the policy of the Demo-
cratic party to put tax on those articles
which were used by all the people, and would
yield the largest revenue az the smallest cost
TO the people The Republican promise OF an
enlarged home market by high protective
tariff had not been fulfilled. He would put on
the free list metals wool, cotton hbers, iron
and steel in pigs, and all yarns-everything
which required to be manufactured. He would
do this in order that the manufacturers OF this
country might manufacture their goods at the
lowest possible price so that they could go into
the market of the world.
He declared agriculture to be the staple in
terest of this country, and no benefit had been
derived from protective duty by this interest.
He declared that no other country could CON-
pete with US in agriculture; not even India
coulS compete with US in the raising of wheat.
The Republican policy, he said, was to provide
a homo market, but there were $4,000, O00,00l
worth of goods made in this country. Where
were the people TO come from to consume them?
In order to carry out the Republican policy,
the people would have to be imported to con-
sumo our surplus agricultural products. 1t
would require 100000 people to consume
these products.
He denied that the present depressed condi-
ton of the country was due to the tariff agta-
ton 1t would have come three years ago but
for the large crops of 1888, 1889, and 1890. 1t
did not come with the advent of the Demo
cratic party, as charged, but the people felt
that the squal was coming on Nov. 2, 1892
because the crop of 1892 was falling below that
of 1891 and the crop of 1891 was away below
that of the preceding year. that the country
was Just where it was in 1889. And yet the
Republicans said that the Democratic party
had brought on this condition. 1t was the ex-
haustive Mckinley tax and the exhaustive OBJ
structions to agriculture that Frustrated the
farmers.
Mr.. Mills devoted large part of his speech
to a discussion aud defense of the income tax
He Landed the action of the Committee in re-
porting a tax on incomes. Why should wealth
net be taxed? The object of all just Govern
ment was to secure to all its subjects all the
rights with which they were endowed by ma
ture and protection in the enjoyment Of those
rights in which they were guaranteed by their
Government

In the House. the Senate joint resolution
authorizing the laying of a bronze tablet to
commemorate the Tooth anniversary of the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the Capitol was taken
up and passed, on motion of Mr. Bynum.
The regular order was then demanded, and
after the call of committees, the House went
into Committee of the Whole and resumed the
consideration of the Postofice appropriation
bill, which was interrupted some days ago by
the enforced absence of Chairman Henderson.
The pending amendment was that of Mr..
Kyle Miss, d. to strike out the appropriation
for the fast Southern mail Mr.. Kyle con-
tinued his remarks in opposition to the appro-
priation.
Several other members spoke. and the amend
ment was defeated. Other amendments were
considered and defeated. and the bill was passed.
