THE MOLE HAS EYES.

The majority of people believe thai the
mole is even "blinder' than the proverbial
bat. but the naturalist knows that such is
not the case. Sir John Lubbock and Carl
Hess. the latter a noted German naturalist.
have ny careful Investigation proved that
the mole has eyes which are as perfect as
those of horse or an elephant. They are
very small optics. to be sure Conly one mill
Hmeter in diameter). but in the matter Of
reflection and refraction do not differ from
the normal eyes in larger animals.

DANCE WITHOUT SMILES.

They have a singular kind of dance con-
Quoted on the green's of,country villages in
Russia. The dancers stand apart, knot
of young men mere, a knot of maidens
there. each sex by itself and silent as
crowd of mutes. \ piper breaks into
tune. youth pulls of his cap and chal-
Ienges his girl with wave and bow. If
the girl is willing she waves her handker-
chief in token of assent. The youth ad-
vances. takes a corner Of the handkerchief
in his hand and leads his lassie round and
round.
No word is spoken and no laugh is heard.
Stiff with chords and rich with braids the
girl moves heavily by herself, going round
and round. and never allowing her partner
to touch her hand. The pipe goes droning
on for hours in the same sad key and
measure. and the prize of merit in this
"circling." as the dance is called Is given
by spectators to the lassie who in all that
summer revelry has never spoken and
never smiled.-New York Ledger.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Liquor Licenses,

delegation. consisting of Messrs. Mad
igan and Sullivan. representing the LIQUOR
dealers of the city. appeared before the
Commissioners this morning to urge adj
verse action against the bill now before
them having for its object an increase of
the fees charged for the sale of liquor The
excise board. to whom the bill was first
referred, has favorabiy reported the bill.
1t was argued that the saloon men of the
city We're almost upaninlous against the
bill, and its enactment into law would
bring about condition of things that
would be bad. Speak-easies would spring
up everywhere. Then, again, the present
law is comparatively new, and a sufficient
trial has not been given to demonstrate its
entire merit. There will be delay of sew
eral days before the Commissioners re-
port will be made. in order to give an OPP
portunity to those opposed to the measure
to prepare brief and have a hearing.
Suburban Railroad Hearing.
The Commissioners this afternoon gave a
hearing to Messrs. Davis, Smith and
Meyer. representing the Columbia Suburb
an railroad, which seeks through a pend
ing bill to obtain charter to run from

Ambrose Bierce to G. P. Huntington

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
On Friday of last week, Immediately after
the House committee on Pacific railroads
had concluded its session, Mr.. C. p Hunt
1ngton was asked by Representative john
son Of California to confirm a statement
that MIR. Huntington had previously made
to him (Mr Johnson), namely, that OH be-
coming president of the Southern Pacific
company he had cut off the company's an
nual payment Of $4,000 to the San Fran
cisco Examiner. In the presence and hear
ing OF three members of the committee
Mr.. Huntington said that it was true. The
statement appears to have been made in
explanation of the Examiners hostility tn
him and his schemes for funding the debts
of the Pacific railroads.
l have reason to think that Mr. Hur-
tington will be given an opportunity to
prove In court lis accusation that the Elk
aminer was once on the pay roll of mis-
company. In the meantime, If he win
prove 1t to the satisfaction of three gentle
men, one to be named by him, one by me
and one by the two others, 1 hereby pledge
vice OF the Examiner. AS he has frequent
1y sgnified his earnest disapproyal OF NV
work on that paper. he should think INV re-
tirement desirable and advantageous
accusation good. I will take him by the
hand, which recently have twice refused
when he offered it-once in the presence of
three members of the press, in a corridor
OF the capitol and again in the room of
the Senate committee on Pacific railroads.
IN the presence Of the committee and MANY
gentlemen attending one of its meatinpS
AS to this latter promise, exact but one
coholtlon: MIR. Huntington is not to object
to my glove.
am, Mr. Editor, very respectfully yours.

Dongo!a.
STATEMENT IN COMMONS

LONDON, March 2O.-A dispatch to the
Globe from Cairo says that the khalifa has
proclaimed 'jehad' (holy war; against
Egypt, and has called all the dervishea
capable Of bearing arms to enroll under his
banners.
The dispatch adds that 1T Is said that o.
man Digna Is to leave Kassala and join
the dervishes now mastering at Dongola
The under secretary for foreign affairs,
Mr.. George N. Curzon, answering a ques-
ton in the house of commons this after
noon, said that the decision of the govern
ment to send British-Egyptian troops to
Dongola was considerably Influenced by a
communication from Italy relative to the
prospects of a dervish attack on Kassala
and the effect 1t might have upon Egyptian
interests.
The house was occupied for an hour to-
day with various questions put by Mr.. John
Morley, Sir William Harcourt and Mr. John
Dillon regarding the expenses of the Nile
expedition and the understanding with Italy
In regard to the steps being taken.
Mr.. Morley, in his remarks on the SUBJ
ject, pointed out the unfortunate nature of
the expedition decided upon by the govern
ment, saying that it was not only deroga-
ton of the pledge of Great Britain that she
would not assume a protectorate over
Egypt, hut was likely to withdraw from
that country some of the benefits and bless
inss since England administered affairs.

felt for some time that the District Com
missioners should permit one-horse cars to
be run over this line In the business center
Of the city when the latest amendment to
the charter OF the road specifically required
the use Of two horses on each car. The
committee some time ago addressed let
ter to the Commissioners asking them why
tins was permitted; The reply was re-
Mcmillan bill amending the charter Of the
road. but ut the meeting this morning the
committee agreed that sufficient reasons
were not SGT forth for the prolongation Of
this practice.
Senator Mcmillan was authorized to pre-
pare and report bill repeating tine clause
In the latest amendment to the charter Of
sioners the discretion as to the use of one
horse cars within the city limits.
Street Extension.
The street extension matter was not dis
cussed, except very briefly at the begin
ming of the meeting in connection with the
reassessment bills. The Commissioners
new proposition looking to the amendment
of the highway act, which is printed else
where in The Star today, was received at
the committee room during the meeting,
and so did not come before the committee
in formal shape for discussion.
In addition to the action already noted,
adverse reports were ordered upon the bill
to incorporate the Washington Homeopathic
Medical College in the District Of Columbia
and the bill, Senate 21S3. further amending
the act regulating the sale of fntoxicants
in the District, approved March ), 1893. The
Commissioners had reported adversely upon
these bills, and the committee followed their
recommendations A favorable report was
ordered on Senate bill 1921. introduced by
Mr.. Sewell, to authorize and regulate the
sale of unclaimed freight, baggage and other
property in the District of Columbia.
Senator Mcmillan presented an amend
ment to the District appropriation bill, ap
propriating 5000 to pave Florida avenue
from 18th street to Connecticut avenue.

M e S AGE ON CUB A
One Expected From the White Hous,
Monday.
1t is Supposed to Relate Chiefly to the
in the Present Situation.

Although not officially admitted, there is
an impression in some quarters that the
President will shortly send a communities
ton to Congress in regard to the Cuban at
fair. In some quarters 1t Is said that he
will send in a message early next week In
the shape Of an answer to the resolution
of Senator Hoar calling for the latest Off
cial information in regard to the situation.
Inasmuch, however, as the officials of the
State Department have not yet prepared
the recent correspondence on this subject
for transmission to Congress 1t does Lot
appear likely that 1t will go in for some
time yet. and hardly next week at any rate.
Inc fact that there has been no very i'm
portant change in the Cuban situation since
the President sent in his last batch OF
Cuban correspondence Is advanced by one
nigh official as good indication that he
is not likely to again communicate with
that body Immediately in regard to the dip
Il matte aspects Of the case.
The report that a message Is imminent
probably arises from the fact that the
Secretary Of the Treasury has prepared q
report of the action taken by the Treas
ury Department for the enforcement OF the
neutrality laws in the case of Cuba, which
includes copies of all instructions issued
to customs officers of the revenue cutter
service to prevent the organization and
departure of flibustering expeditions
This report is made in response to a reso-
lullOn introduced by senator Call OF Florida
calling for certain detailed Information on
the subject. This correspondence may he
accompanied by a message from the Presi-
dent giving his views on the situation, but
1t is said to be extremely improbable. This
correspondence is all ready, and WIFI be sent
to the Senate Monday or Tuesday or 1t
may possibly go in late this afternoon. It
refers solely to the steps taken by the
Treasury Department for the strict OBJ
servance Of the neutrality laws, and has no
relation to the progress Of events in Cuba.
American interests have already suffered
COZ siderably by reason Of the insurrec-
tion and a large number Of claims have
been filed for compensation for property
destroyed by military operations in Cuba.
These claims are against Spain and have
been filed at the State Department and at
the Spanish legation. They are for all
classes Of damages, alleged to have been
inflicted upon the property Of American
non-comhatants. and aggregate, according
to one authority. nearly $3o,OOO,OOO. Most
OF the claims are for the destruction of
sugar crops and machinery, and others
are for buildings, horses. cattle, fowls and
all kids of domestic animals, etc. The
depreda tions are said to have been COM
mitted by the Spanish soldiers, as we'll as
!. by the insurgents.
The Cuban question was discussed at to-
days meeting of the cabinet. but with what
result had not been disclosed up to a late
hour this afternoon.
