EXPLODING DYNAMITE.
Federal Officials Experience Lively
Shaking Tn.


There were wild rumors of a dynamite
outrage floating around the Federal build
ings on Washington street yesterday
morning. The calm stiffness of bright
spring morning was suddenly disturbed
ABOUT 10 O'clock with an awful rumble.
There was arattiing of windows. shak-
ing OF walls and frightened expression
on nearly every mans face.

looked up from his work and out of the
window. trying to locate Alcatraz and the
Farallones at one glance. TO see il subma-
rine torpedo had exploded. Collector Wise
excitedly called TO Deputy Collector Jones
and wanted to know "Who, by -. sir, is
pulling the building down over our
heads?" Postmaster Backus uttered a
brief but fervent prayer in Thanksgiving
that his term was drawing to a close and
that when it was all over the building still
stood.
Over in the Appraisers building CON-
missioner Heacock was listening to At
t0rDey Rlordan's pleas for the discharge
of habeas cOrpused Chinese, when from
out the depths came that laundering
sound. Loud and awful it came, per-
feet cataclysm. In the clerks Office of the
District Court the shock was very per-
ceptible. 1t was at first thought that
Judge Morrow had dropped an unexpected
decision. so serenity reigned supreme.
But when came another and more thun-
dering sound accompanied by a shock that
seemed to part the walls. then there was a
hurryIng and a scurrying from every
room.
Down at the southeast corner OF the big
building stood little group of men silently
contemplating the Utmost recesses of a
hole In the ground. A thin curling mass
OF smoke slowly came out of the hole. As
soon as its depths could be distin guished,
piece of iron pipe about three feet long
banked within four brick walls could be
seen. 1t was the head of the suction pipe
of The artesian well which supplies the
engines of the Appraisers building.
Twenty-one feet below it was. clogged
with cement and iron. This prevented
the use of ordinary tools, and the dyna-
mite became necessary.
The shock Of its explosion was very
severe, both the Appraisers building and
old Custom-house vibrating with each
explosion

SEA BASS IN SAN DIEGO BAY.
Huge Monsters Weighing From One Hun-
 dred to Six Hundred Pounds.

Huge Monsters Weighing From One Hun-
 dred to Six Hundred Pounds.
 Chris Schmidt, a longshoreman, caught three black sea bass recently, weighing 221, 337 and 376 pounds re- spectively. After hooking his game he tied the end of the line to powder keg and let the big fish run around in the bay until exhausted, when he pulled it in and killed it.
 This land locked bay of San Diego and the kelp bed at the harbor mouth Is a favorite home for the black sea bass, or jewish, as it is commonly called Catching these fish is excellent sport They weigh from 100 to GOO pounds and in appearance are much like the small mouthed black bass of eastern lakes. A long hand )ine the size of a window sash cord, a large hook of quarter inch iron, baited with white fish, an ax aRd rowboat are all the tackle needed for this sport.
 The baited hook is dropped to the bottom in 50 feet or more of water. A vigorous bite and the fish almost hooks itself. Then the fun begins. The long line plays out with the rapidty of a whale line when the barpoon strikes home. The jevifish tires more quickly than the whale. The man in the bow of the rowboat begins to take up the slack line. This rouses the fish. Away he darts again and stops. The slack is pulled in again. The efforts of the fish become less vigorous. The line is made fast in the bow. The helmsman is warned to look out The fish begins to run away. The hnetightens. This time it does not play out The fish, feeling the weight of the boat, strives hard to get away from it.
 Faster and faster goes the boat as the captive fish tows it seaward until the bow is pulled down almost beneath the waves, and it is sometimes necessary to put out the oars and attempt to re- tard the dangerous progress. By degrees the fish gets tired coping with such heavy odds and finally allows itself to be drawn alongside the boat. A blow on the head with an ax ends the fight. l San Diego Gal Dispatch.

A1ligators.

Few animals are more friendless than the alligator. With claims to neither beauty nor intelligence, he is not hand some enough to win our admiration nor dangerous enough to make us respect him. For hours be basks in the sun, floating on the surface of the water or lying on some muddy bank, apparently as useless as the log of wood he so much resembles. Every mans hand is raised against him. He is killed by the tourist in pure wantonness, simply because he affords mark for the ever ready rifle. Hunters slay alligators by thousands for their hides and teeth. Indeed 1t is for these alone that the alligator is pri1ed. I think, however, the alligator plays part in the drama of animal life for which he is especially adapted. It is said that on the lower Mississippi river alligators feed on muskrats, and the recent decrease in the number of al igators has been followed by core spending increase in the number of muskrats, which seriously weaken the levees by burrowing in them. If this be true, the alligator is here of direct faluC VI tuC plautCI 1lo bhOuih OhCAN- fore be protected by law.-Frank NJ. Chapman in Our Animal Friends.

NEW YORK. July 81.
The testimony of the bears, which was
reflected in diminished aggression today.
encouraged the traders to bid stocks and
while sugar took turn downward on real
izat1ons the general level of prices was
slightly higher. But the market was so mar
row and dull that the movements are to
be credited with little significance The out
look in Washington is too uncertain to en-
courage bold ventures. There has apparent
ly been no progress toward agreement b.
tween the conferees of Congress, but the
attempt to reach a compromise has not been
given up. Weather conditions at the West
were more favorable to the crops, and while
it is clear that some damage has been in
ficted upon corn it is impossible yet to
arrive at trustworthy conclusions as to the
extent of the injury. Further strength was
developed in the foreign exchanges, SO large
that laIgesexports are predicted for Satur-
day, but it is too early in the week to make
correct estimates, and no gold is
promised for Thursdays German steamer,
it is hoped that Saturdays demand for
France may be less than was feared. The
tariff situation is being watched with in
terest abroad, and the result of the deliber-
ations in Congress may exert an influence
upon the gold movement. A failure of legis-
lation would be received un1avorably in
Europe and would probably stimulate with
drawals of the precious metal. Speculation,
as well as trade and industry, is waiting up
on Washington developments, and no de-
cided character to the market is likely to be
given until definite news is received. There
is every Indication that the short interest
has been expanded to large proportions, and
in the event of a sudden agreement on the
tariff question we should look for sharp
rally on covering.
