Over 300 men stood in line on Leidesdorff
street yesterday morning anxiously awaiting
the arrival of the citizens committee. when It
was expected that all would be supplied with
the much-desired ticket which would eDttle
the bearer 10 work in the park for short
period.
Many OF their number bad stood upon the
cold damp pavements through the entire night,
and even these were disappointed IN many
cases when the committee appeared, as only
those WHO had been given slips on the previous
day, numbering altogether about 100. were
entitled TO first choice in The distribution. Be-
sides this number. no work tickets were given
out, and the vast thrOng was consequently

day was IN exciting congressional day
and it will probably be counted when
the result is footed up, the greatest
day of the long tariff warfare. The
fact that an agreement between the
conferees has been practically reached,
that the senate sugar schedule has been
rejected because of its hidden protec-
ton and one adopted which openly
shows its concessions. that free iron
ore is granted and the duty ON coal

these gave Washington enough to
talk about last night and the talk is

There are those who pretend to see
no backdown on the part of the SEN
ate and who seem utterly forgetful of
the great ultimatum. "senate bill or no
bill" The senate partisans will scarce

yet not week ago the senate threat
ened death before retreat. The col
lapse of the senate combine was so
complete as to be pitiable. First, Sen

THE CUNNING MINK
His Genius for Stealing Good Things to
Eat--A Brave Animal.

His Genius for Stealing Good Things to
Eat--A Brave Animal.
Probably the most cunning of all
animals is the mink. Its propensity
for stealing is marvellous, and the
methods of stealing and the manner
OF hiding the proceeds of its rob
berries are unique in the history of
the lower species. We do not refer
here TO the depredations OF the
mink among poultry, for they
resort to henneries only when the
waters are frozen or supply of fish
is unobtainable, says the Lewiston
journal. Two gentlemen were fish
ing ON one OF the rivers OF Maine
The fish We're quite plenty, and as
soon as one was caught it was thrown
behind on the grass, After some
time one of the gentlemen thought
he would take a rest and at the same
time examine his capture. But he
could not find a single fish. He
charged his friend with having
played him trick, but the friend
was as surprised as he. They now
determined to watch their next fish,
and their astonishmeht was UNI
bounded when they saw mink run
from hole nearby, snatch up fish
and carry it OIL to the hole, where
they afterwards found their entire
capture cunningly hidden under
some dead leaves
In the same manner the mink
steals game which sportsmen shoot.
On one occasion gentleman shot a
wild duck, but before the dogs could
get to it mink had stolen it, carried
1t off to hole in the frozen snow,
which one mink had prepared while
the other was Watching for the OPP
portunity TO steal the sportsman's
game. Notwithstanding this par
ticular characteristic the mink is a
brave as we'll as ferocious little fell
low and he is excelled in these quail
ties only by the ermine. He seems
to have peculiar aversion for the
muskrat and although the latter is
generally more than double his size,
the mink attacks him fearlessly and
always wins the battle. after which

and wild duck. They are found in al
most every state OF the union, but
most frequently in Maine and in the
states bordering the great lakes.
Mink skins are sold in great num-
beers by Maine trappers, and are sold
for furs under various names.
