THE BIG WHALE.
Draws Sightseers to the Water front
Mounted or % ~cow.

The Henderson bay whale, taken by Ia
coma parties and exhibited for two days
in the city with the bottonb.ess harbor
vas yesterday morning towed 10 this city,
whore IL Is now on exhibition a. the loot
OF Washington street. The mammal Is
mounted on scow and surrounded by a
high board fence. l. IS altogether likely
that no Other such opportunity has bean
offered in this city for the Qualification
OF all OF the senses a one time as -
OF the present. Seeing, smelling and hear
ing are at once brought Into requisitio1
when the visitor steps inside the Enclosure
The second sense IN the order named
above Is fairly overtaxed, and the last Is
brought into requistion In the audible
process OF dissolution, each wound bub-
bling and sputtering, sometimes with a
snappy sound.
The exhibition IS. however. very inter-
esting for those whose olfactory nerves
are not subject 10 easy offense, and there
must have been many OF those, AZ the
scow with is putrid freight was visited
yesterday by hundreds OF people. who
looked into the huge mouth and specu-
lated on Jonah's chances.
After the capture Of the whale * was
lifted on the Scow and there was hole
cut in It's side as big a 5 door Every
thing that was loose IN the vast interior

ice and lime and sprayed with disinfe,-

SHOULD HAVE LICENSES.
City Authorit' es After Fish and Veye-
table peidiers

The attention of Chief OF Police Reed
has been called 10 the fish and vegetable
peddlers who are operating within the
CITY without license. AS a result Frank
Burgalich, James and Thomas Shull, fish
men, were taken into custody and released
on personal recogniZance To appear to-
morrow morning at o'clock In the mu-
nicipal court
The city ordinance specifies that a per-
son may sell without license fish that he
catches himself. but If he peddles FISH
that he has purchased he must take ont d
license. Another provision OF the ordi-
nance IS that all persons who sell vege-
tables must take out licenses, the cost
OF which IS 3 a month or = for three
months. An idea has become current
that II person sells the vegetables he
has raised himself II is not necessary 10
take otgt a license. City Comptroller Par
~ constrles the ordinance 10 call upon
everybody 10 take ont license II they
desire 20 sell vegetables. Corporation
Counsel Brown IS looking up the case IN
order 10 determine the course TO be pGr-
sued by the police IN applying the ordi-
nance.
The utter disregard shown by fish and
vegetable peddlers OF the ordinance Is
emphasized by the fact that no licenses
have been taken out

LEWIS AT CHICAGO.
MR.. MALONEY'S "REMINISCENCES

A. fusion headquarters yesterday Sec
rotary Maloney grew reminiscent and told
now he came 10 spring into news pa per
fame through his presentation 10 the Chi
cage convention OF the name OF james
Hamilton Lewis for vice president "Yon
see. IL was understood that w H White
was % nominate Lewis" said Mr.. Ma
loney, and ne thought there would be-
roll call OF the states. But the chair
man had arranged that only four nominal
ing speeches should be made, and | ~
once saw that we'd have TO go 10 the
front II We presented our candidates
name.
White said I, ne isn't going to call
the roll You'll have 10 go 10 the plat
form before you can nominate Lewis
" o. says White. J won't nominate
him." ANA Mr. Maloney boboled his
head, shrugged his shoulders and gave
depreciative gesture with both hands.
" Then III do It. said I.
With that / moved up front and caught
the eye of the chairman. He inquired
what I wanted. and l told him the young
and great state OF Washington had A
candidate fer the Office OF vice president
Of rhe United States. He asked me 10 take
the platform, but | said / didn't want to
make speech. and then 1 presented the
name of Lewis.
When l was down IN front was In
the midst OF i regular swarm OF news
paper men One Of them called out 10 me
to stop and come back.
who is this Col. James Hamilton
Lewis he asked. We want 10 know
something about him
What part Of the backwoods do you
live in that you never heard Of Col. James
Hamilton Lewis? ! answered back. and
then l went 10 my seat.
All right, old man; you'll never hear
the last OF this said one OF the newspa-
per men"
And that explains why the New York
Sun had so much TO say about Mr.. Ma
loney and Col. Lewis.
BY the way" concluded Mr.. Maloney,
the speeches presenting nominees for
vice president continued two hours after
] left The floor. The chairman couldn't
hold them down to four. and there were
nearer forty. Ii was a regular Pop con-
vention, there were so many speeches"

The views OF a foreign capitalist on the
financial question in America are not
without interest when one remembers how
necessary is capital to The development OF
new countrys resources. Herr A. eau.
director Of the Observation-Disclosures
Mortgage bank, IN letter 20 :. Ellens. OF
this city. expresses himself as follows in
letter headed Uithu.zen. August q. 1896:
AS / Informed you In a former letter,
we have had a crisis here in American
securities such as | never before expert
erced When Americans want capital
from Europe for the development OF the
West they will have to stop all these
speculative operations for free silver. In
the last few years the money markets OF
Europe have not been willing TO send cap
ital 10 the Western states for develop
n1ent OF the resources, and SO by high in
terest and by the lack Of capital the fur
ther progress OF the Western states vas
hindered. Nobody is willing TO trust his
capital. which he has saved by hardships
and hard labor, 10 nation Of which
thousands are inclined 10 pay him Off with
- cents for dollar They do not want 10
risk their money among people who are
trying 10 upset the prosperity and welfare
OF the United States by hard, foolish and
unscientihc laws. II is not even sufficient
20 elect a president on the side OF sound
money. There is wanted a strong mai Dr-
ity for sound money in congress, be il -
gold or bi-metaiIs.n in connection with
the leading European states. When tie
coming election shows that the majority
for sound money is so large tina. silverites
cannot cause danger again. then fear of
foolhariy laws will disappear. and capital

restored I presume prices viii improve
