LATE adyices from Washington are
to the effect that President Cleveland
may possibly sign the Bland bill after
all. Secretary Carlisle favOrs it be-
cause it will help out the bad condi-
tion OF the treasury, which, as there
is being nothing done to relieve the
pressure, naturally gives the president
considerable worry. Most anything
can be expected, for, as the Pioneer
Press says, this is an administration
full of surprises.

THE TARIFF BILL.

Tie tariff bill has finally been sub
mitted to the members of the finance
committee. The bill has been greatly
disfgured, and many articles have
been taken from the free list and put
upon the dutiable list. Among these
articles is sugar The clause repeal
ing the bounty is left untouched, and
the following provision is added: "All
sugars, tank bottoms, syrups of cane
juice, Or OF beet juice, melada, con-
centrated melada, concrete, anti-con-
crete molaSseS testing by the polar
iscOpe if not above so degrees, shall

shall pay one One-hundredth of cent
additional, and above 80 and not above
90 degrees for every additional degree
shown by the polariscOpe test shall

a cent per pound additional, and above
90 degrees by polariscope test shall

are many other changes made slightly
increasing the duty on some articles
and lessening it on others. The in
come tax has been left as it came
from the house.

A BEAR ALoFT.
An Exciting Experience I'm the Rigging of
Vessel In the Arctic Waters

An Exciting Experience in the Rigging of =
Vessel In the Arctic Waters
There is an old sailor named Jake,
recently returned to San Francisco
from an Arctic cruise, who has made
up his mind not to go on another whal-
ing expedition, no matter what hap
pens. The reason is this:
On one occasion during his late voy-
age Jake was on watch in the night
that is, as much night as it ever gets
up there in summer. The sun had
been down about an hour, and would
rise again about an hour later. Itwas
beautiful night as the ship lay there
in the ice, and the air seemed scintil-
lating with phosphorescent glow
that penetrated everywhere and made
no shadows On all sides the pack ice
Law close to the vessel and reached for
miles in every direction, broken occa-
sionally by large berg or the faint
outlines of another ship. The silence
was profound; it seemed to produce a
roaring sound like the waves of a dis
tant ocean. Such surroundings will
put person in semi-comatose state
from which the slightest SOUND will
awaken him with start.
Jake suddenly saw something white
in the gloom climbing the mast. His
first impulse was to jump to the deck,
but before he could act upon it the
white object climbed through the 1ub-
Der hole, and Jake then saw it was a
polar bear. Jake realized that he was
in a most dangerous position and be-
gan to think of means to escape. He
called to the watch on deck below, but
they couldn't hear. He tried to get
out under the canvas, but the beast
grabbed him and pulled him back. 1t
began humping him, and every time
Jake attempted to move away itwould
growl. Suddenly his eyes lighted on a
rope hanging to the deck just back of
the cradle BY this means he thought
he could reach the deck. To swing
himself free was but the work of an
instant, but the bear made a jump and
caught hold of his foot. But few
vigorous kicks freed him and then be-
gan new terror. Perhaps the rope
was not strong and would break or he
raight miss the stay ami swing against
the mast and be dashed to death. The
moment in the air seemed years filed
with horror and several times Jake
wished he had taken his chances with
the bear. To grab the stay and hold
on was most difficult and twice Jake's
hands slipped and almost lost it.
When he reached the deck he looked
up and saw the rope swing back to the
cradle, where the bear grabbed it. II
tried to do as it had seen Jake do. but
had no sooner swung clear than II
slipped and fell to the deck. The crew
had bearsteak for breakfast San

wisdom Tooth Of a Mammoth.

A fossil curiosity in the shape of a
mammoth's tooth was found few
days ago in West Seattle. The tooth
was found at the foot of the bluff, not
far from the beach, and was covered
with clay at the time, indicating that
it had been unearthed by the breaking
away of the hill. The crown of the
tooth, which was of an oval shape,
measured seven and one-half inches in
its largest diameter, three and one-half
inches in it's smallest diameter, and
eighteen inches in circumference. The
posterior edge of the tooth was four
inches in length, the anterior edge six
inches, the largest circumference
twenty-five inches, and the weight
nine and one-half pounds. 1t is sup
posed to be the lower back tooth from
the left side of the jaw. The ridges
have turned to chalcedony, and extend
entirely through the tooth, while the
material between has the appearance
of iron. Post-Intelligencer.

Patten. The instant he could see that
some one was attempting to lead him
he would refuse to advance step; and
he did see, despite Bertha's wholly or

ever SO little. She really became quite
desperate and struck him in the face,

that were meant TO DO scornful and
sarcastic. OF course, if she had known
anything about mules she would have
been aware that such treatment only
makes them jump back; but she was of

not knowing anything about live stock.

came to learn to let the mule think he
was free and going alore. The expert
ment worked like q charm. Patten
began to fear that he was losing the
