THE BOUNTY

The following special telegram
which we take from the Times
Democrat, gives about the situa-
ton of the bounty:
Washington, Feb. ia fresh
element of danger was added to-
day at the trying ordeal through
which the bounty proposition is
now passing. This new menace
is the illness of Senator Shelby
NJ. Cullom, of Illinois, who was
taken sick this morning and who
may not be able to attend the
meeting of the Senate committee
on appropriations, which has been
called for tomorrow morning. As
previously advised, the committee
before which the bounty amend
ment is now pending consists OF
nine members. Five of these are
thought to be reliably certain for
the bounty. They are Senators
Call (Florida), Blackman Ken.
tucky), Allison (Iowa), Hale
(Maine) and Cullom illinois.
The failure of the Subcommittee
to favorably report the bounty
bill indicates very plainly the at
titude of Cockrell { Missouri) ant
German Maryland) of the com
mittee. 1t is pretty safe to infe
what will be their course in full
committee. Mr.. Teller is know
to be very much opposed to to
J bounty, his hostility being sucl
that he may, if the condition ap
pear 80 be favorable, take the foo
and speak in opposition to tb
concession asked by the suga
producers

The bearing of Senator Brices
the last member of the committee,
is not clearly known. 1t has been
said by some that he would favor
the payment of the bounty, while
it is stated by others that he has
declared himself as unwilling to
assist the Louisiana people in
their fight in any way. He is the
wealthiest man in the Senate and
ranks among the most influential
members. Under the circum-
stances the status of the commit
tee may be set down as five for
and four against the bounty in
GLIDING Senator Cullom, now on
the sick list. 1t will, therefore,
be seen that Mr.. Cullom's pre-
sence at to-morrow's meeting is an
important feature in the long
struggle now nearly reaching cul-
mination, and that grave dangers
are threatened if he should be un-
able to attend. A tie vote would
be unable to get the amendment
out of the committee, or if drawn
out would bring it into the Senate
90 weak that the fight there for its
passage would become almost a
hopeless struggle.
The Louisiana delegation en-
ployed their time to-day in trying
to get a postponement of the COM
mittee meeting announced for to-
morrow, if it is found that MIR.
Cullom's illness will prevent him
from attending. Greats efforts are
also being made to win Senators
German and Brice over to the
bounty and get them to throw the
great weight of their influence in
it's favor. It is felt that with 50.
ven of the committee in its favor
the bill would pass the Senate by
a good majority. The Endorsement
of Senators German and Brice al
one would be effective in securing
eight or more vote now in doubt
. It will thus be seen that to-mor
, rows developments hold in store
r much of interest to thousands il

Deer and Bisor

The bison of India has never been
kept long in captivity, except In the
case of one bull which is now in the
possession OF his highuess the MALARIA
jah OF MySorc. How this bull came to-
survive, when so many OF his fellows
had succumbed, is a very pretty story.
1t Is related 10y the author OF Gold.
Sport, and Coffee Planting i'm Mysorc. "
who took 1t down from the lips of his
neighbor. Mr.. Park, who captured the
animal and was knowing to all the de-
tails of the story.
When captured, the bull was sun
posed TO be about three days old. A
week afterward young doe sambur.
pursued by jungle dogs. ran into Il
laborer's cottage and was made n pris-
oner. 1t was decided to keep the deer
rs companion for the bison. and the
two were accordingly kept togethor.
though never shut up. They were fed
on milk, and then allowed To Craze. and
soon became inseparable.
They were fed at twelve O'Clock and
at four In the afternoon, and seemed
to know their feeding times exactly.
When the bison was two years old it
was thought best to fit him with a nose
rope. He was tied TO tree. his nose
was bored, and me was liberated. He
ran all about the grounds. and then. for
the first and only time. he was heard
to below.
After this he was regularly led out
to Craze. The sImbur would some
times remain behind, but seemed 10
have no difficulty i'm finding him. put
ting up her nose TO catch the scent. and
then starting ut once in the right direc-
ton. The bison had no such power.
md if ever he missed his companion.
would go wandering about until he
found her.
When the bull was three years old he
was presented To tile maharaiah. and
was sent off 10 the nearest railway sta
ton, some sixty miles away. The doe
soon noticed his absence. held up her
nose as usual, got the direction. and
when the bull was five or six miles on
the way she overlook him He showed
the most extreme delight, and the two
travelled happily TO Mysore.
Mr.. Park saw the bull in 1891. and
two or three years aftcrward Mr. Ell
liot was glad to learn that the bison
and the deer were still inseparablr com
panions, and both i'm excellent health.
He believes that the bull would long
ago have pinned away and died, but for
the society of the doe.
