HAD TO RELEASE THE PETS.
Soldiers Collected Specimens OF Nearly
All the Animals of the Country.

Soldiers Collected Specimens of Nearly
All the Animals of the Country.
There were some very amusing
sights at Vera Cruz when the French
and Belgian troops were evacuating
that city and leaving Mexico for their
foreign home after the collapse OF the
attempt TO place Macmillan on the
throne" said General Joe Shelby, the
eX-c0nfoderate TO a Kansas City repor-
ter During the campaign in Mexico
these troops had been pretty nearly all
over the interesting portions OF that
Wonderful country. and as they con-
tinually saw new wonders they were
continually selecting novelties TO carry
back home with them They had coll
lected specimens OF pretty nearly every
thing animate and inanimate that was
in the country and every company was
loaded with them. They had young
mountain lions, ant-eaters, armadilloes,
birds OF rare plumage little animals
and big ones, and curios galore, quite
enough to load many wagons.
THE officers never iatended the
| specimens should be carried away by
the men, but they had hesitated to or
der them TO dispose OF their collections
during their march for fear there would
be trouble.
But when they were ready to em-
bark and leave Mexican shores the
brigades were marched down to the
wharf. They We're lined up and or
dered to ground arms. Then came the
second order to release all animals
held captive by the men. They were
all lined up under the muzzles OF the
frowning cannon from the fort, and
were unarmed, and there was nothing
10 be done but 20 obey the order, and
the animals were released and such a
collection as went skipping off was a
surprise TO the officers who were in
command. The men had the smaller
animals concealed beneath their capes
and coats, perched on their shoulders
and hidden in every other manner
imaginable. and the whole collection
resembled the march OF Noah's col
lection in the ark The men grumbled
ut the order, which they declared was
useless and unreasonable, and went
away without their pets. There We're
! loads OF curiosities left lying in a
promiscuous heap on the wharf after
the men left. 1t was one OF the most
novel sights I ever saw"

SILVER WILL WIN

The outlook for the Democrats advo-
eating the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver controlling the Democratic
national convention at Chicago looks
bright and grows brighter every day.
The eastern and middle states OF
course will send delegations instruct
ed for the. gold standard. But they
will not have majority Of the con
vention from present appearances.
This week Iowa, which has been
claimed as a doubtful state, declared
by a two.thirds vote for free coinage
in her state Democratic convention.
This adds go votes to the free coinage
list at Chicago. South Carolina, too.
instructed for free coinage this week.
adding is more votes, and North Da-
kota went fer silver in her state con.
vention almost solidly, giving the sill.
yer men votes in the national con.
vention from that state.
a great battle Is being fought in III
inois between the free silver Demo-
Gratis and the goldites. So far the sill.
yer men are sweeping the state and il
is foregone conclusion that Illinois
will instruct her delegates TO the ma
tional conver ton tor free coinage and
will send Gov. Altgeld at the head Of
its delegation. Illinois will have a
votes in the convention.
Gov. Matthews Of Indiana, who is a
candidate for president has come out
squarely for free coinage and it is be-
lieved that Indiana will send a dele
cation Of silver men to Chicago. In
Ohio the fght is also warm one.
Senator Calvin s Brice has sent a let
ter to federal office holders, calling on
them to see that a gold standard del.
egation is elected from Ohio TO the ma
tional Democratic convention But as
far as heard from, under the leader
ship OF Allen G.. Thurman and others,
a majority Of the counties in Ohio that
have held county conventions have in
structed for free silver In the gene.
raj estimates, however, Ohio is con-
ceded to the gold men. But the silver
men in that state claim they will carry
the state.
That the gold men have given up
the fight in Illinois is evident from
the fact that they have organized an
Independent committee just like the
gold standard boilers have in Texas.
But altogether, the outlook for the
silver men to control the national
Democratic convention is splendid.
With strong ticket for silver and
running on a platform favoring the
reconciliation OF silver, the Demo
Gratis will have good show to win
