WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.--Recent orders
by the navy department begin to indi-
cate the character OF the fleet which will
be gathered in the Northern Pacific for
cutters in the Pacific will probably all
be used. These are the Oorwin, Rush,
the navy are indicated the Mohicsn,
Alert, Adams. Marion and Bennington.
1t is said the Charleston, Boston, De-
troit and Yorktown will also be used,
but this will be only in case of pressing
necessity. Smaller vessels are better
adapted to the service. The makeup of
the feet has not been entirely decided
on, and is a subject OF difficulty.

A treasury agent, speaking of the
watchfulness of Uncle Sans officials,
said: ga handsomely dressed man got
off a ferryboat and seemed to be unusu-
ally nervous. A moment more and he
was struggling in the hands of the Off
GERS and desperately clutching at the
lapels of his coat. It's no use, the
officers remarked; we know what you
have and where it is. Better give it up
and save trouble Apparently crushed
by the discovery, the man quietly as
sisted in opening seams and produced
the diamonds from various portions of
his clothing. Your shoes, pleased This
rather staggered him, but he submitted
with good grace, and one of the heels
being sunscrewed another lot, though
smaller and less valuable than the first,
was found there. The diamonds were
examined and pronounced to be splen-
did article Of paste, worth about 20
cents each. This did not satisfy us, and
the man was stripped to the skin. A
huge piece of sticking plaster was on
his back, which was removed, and I'M
der it were concealed scores of genuine
diamonds. It is not often that ruse
is so adroitly planned and practiced. i"

There Seems to Be No Doubt as to
Their Identity.
Posse From San Diego Headed by
Detective Black Going in Pur-
suit OF the Fugitives on
Mexican Soil.


By the Associated Press
SAN DIEGO. Jan. 2S.--Zsnzueta Ansel-
mo, a Mexican living at Vale de las
Pslmas, arrived in San Diego today, and
told of having met two men OF q suspi-
cious appearance at Carriso creek, in
Lower California, yesterday afternoon.
Their heavy arms attracted his notice,
and he described in detail the men and
team, who were undoubtedly the same
observed by Schoolmaster Ross at Keyes
caf1on last Thursday.
The men were watering their horses
and watched him narrowly as he
passed, but nothing was said to him.
They had four guns and wore cartridge
belts, while Ansefmo observed that each
carried heavy revolver. One had 8
black beard and had lost an eye and the
lower part of his left arm. The other
was younger, but both we're ragged and
dirty. He had heard nothing of Evans
and Morel being headed south, and but
little about them at all. Being unable
to read, all the information regarding
the desperadoes he had he gained by
heareay.
The officers here are convinced that
these are the Fresno fugitives, and will
send a posse to assist the Mexican
officers in running them down. Detec-
tive Sam Black, who was shot by Evans
at Sampson fiat last summer, having re-
covered from his wounds, will head the
posse.
Morel formerly lived in this city,
where he passed under the name of Ed
Martin, which is beloved to be his true
name. Being familiar with this section,
he would be able TO avoid the more
travelled roads, and no doubt is enter
tanned that the men are those wanted at
Fresno.

English Criminals.

Doubtless, to judge from your aver
age daily journal, murders and sui
cides, crimes and catastrophes, wars
and feuds and frauds, would seem to re-
main the staple of the human record.
But be it remembered that, for obvious
reasons, all our worst and darkest is col
lected there. One might as veil Judge
of public health by the painful cases
described in medical publication as
of the vast mass of solid human happi-
ness and innocent living joy by the dali
ly catalogue of these really trivial ex-
captions to it. AS for sins-the most Sc
rious of which are only such as are
alicious-though the population in
crease, they seem steadily to diminish.
We had 87,86S "habituals" in 1868;
now the evil roll is only 90, 1853.
When the population of England was
19,257, 900 in 1869, there were 1859
persons undergoing penal servitude;
now, with population of 1880, 179,
the number is only DAT. In 1878 the en-
tire number of prisoners in our jalls
was 90, 1888; the entire number at the
same date last year was 10, 1868, though
the population had increased by 6,000,-
600. Pauperism is also declining. In
1870, 1,079, 881 persons were in receipt
of relief; in 1881, with an addition of
more than 2, 900, 900 inhabitants, there
were only TIA, 905. The upshot of these
figures = without pressing them too
much-seems surely to be that the :" cos
mic process" in our own little corner of
the universe is not doing SO badly.-Sir
Edwin Arnold in Longman's Magazine.

The Cool Manner In Which 1t Kills Snake,
Its Natural Prey.


As soon IS the secretary bird, or
snake eater, Of South Africa discovers
a make, it advances toward it without
hurry and without hesitation, and when
within striking distance it Immediately
elevates it's crest and the feathers of the
neck, and without losing any time de-
livers blow with it's foot. If the snake
has avoided tho blow and attempts to
strike back, the bird interposes q wing,
thus receiving the deadly fangs harm
lessly upon the long feathers and i'm
mediately strikes again.
The fight is then virtually over, for
if the secretary gets in a single blow
the snakes back is broken, and the bird,
lightninglike, plants its foot firmly on
the reptiles neck and head, pressing
them into the ground, while it delivers
the coup de grace with its beak, and
then deliberately swallows the snake
whole, beginning at the tail, and just
before the head disappears, giving it an
enthusiastic parting rap on the ground.
But there Is nothing refined about the
secretary bird 8 appetite, for one writer
says he found inside one three serpents
"as long as his ARM" II lizards 2
inches long, 81 tortoises about 2 inches
in diameter, besides large quantity
of grasshoppars and other insects" or
in other words, ~ feet of snake, 61s
of lizard, 81. of tortoise and say yard
of miscellaneous trifles;
The secretary bird is protected by the
cape authorities for the immense public
benefit it confers in eating poisonous
snakes, and a penalty is attached by
law to its destruction. And if it were
necessary hundreds of eyewitnesses
could be called to prove its right to the
title of serpentarius. Curiously enough,
too, this bird may be trained, and Is
trained, to protect poultry yards, not
only from snakes, which are too fond Of
eggs, but from other birds of prey.-St.
James Budget.

Women Clerks In Washington.

There have been great changes in the
government departments in the last 80
years. The first woman regularly en-
ployed was put on the rolls of the navy
department 35 years ago. She was a
young widow, and the officials consid-
cred it an awful problem how to dis
pose of her. Finally they hit upon o
plan. They treated her as if she was q
contagious disease and isolated her IN
an attic room. She received and re-
turned her copying by a messenger.
But the disease caught on, SO to speak,
and today there are 1, 900 women in the
