WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, April %, 1896.
No intelligent man could haye
been in Washington this week
without being convinced of the
truth of the adage, "extremes
meet" The delegates to the
national arbitration conference,
composed of more than 800 proml-
nent citizens repres nting 3S
states, who came to Washington
to push along the idea of COM
pulsory arbitration of interna-
tional disputes, were met by the
Venezuelan question, which has
again assumed threatening pro-
portions, by reason of Lord Sails
bury's latest communication re-
fusing the proposals of this gov
ernnent and the consequent re-
newal of w;ar talk among belllger-
ent congre ssmen, And they also
found congressman talking of de-
claring. war against Spain, be-
cause of the reported secret ex-
ecut1on of Walter Dygert, young
American who has been in a
Cuban prison and whose release
had been positively promised the
state department. Notwlthstand-
ing these drawbacks, the arb1tra-
ton conference was a success,
and was a long step towards the
adoption of policy of arbitration
by this government wherever pos
sible.
The A. p. A. fight in the house
may be renewed when the senate
amendment allowing two years to
change the Indian sec tar II
schools into government schools
comes up. The A. P. A. men in the
house succeeded in putting a pro-
viso in this bill forbidding the
payment of dollar by the gov
ernment to Indian schools which
are under sectarlan management
and it is thought that they vii
refuse to accept the senate amend
ment as the compromise it was i'll
tended to be.
One of the most unique PROPOSE
tions ever submitted to congress
is contained in the resolution of
fered by Senator Cannon, of Utah
providing for an inquiry into th
feasibility of the construction
near Washington, of a topo
graphical map of the Unite
States on a scale Of one inch t

DOG CATCHES FISH.
Has the Reputation of Having Never Lost
Victim.

Victim.
William Clawson, a fisherman of
South Piainfield, N. j., is the owner of a
dog of which he may well be proud.
The animal, which looks like an ordi-
nary cur, is possessed of an intelligence
far above that of other animals of his
species. The dog has become one Of
the most expert fishermen in the vicin-
ity, and has the reputation of having
never lost fish. Mr.. Clawson and the
dog work in company. Arriving at the
stream, his owner will get the lines
ready, The dog watching with more than
ordinary interest, and when everything
has been arranged to the mutual salts
faction of the two the dog will watch
the water until he sees that fish has
taken hold of the line, and then he will
assist in landing it But it is when his
master goes gigging that the dog is in
his element. Nearby Mr.. Clawson's
place is a bridge over a small stream
in which are a number of carp. 1t is
Mr.. Clawson's habit to stand on the
bridge and let down a line into the
water, which is so arranged that fish
In passing will run his head into the
loop prepared to receive him, and SO
get caught. The moment that the fish
is caught the dog does his work. Leap

Tempest Tossed Mariner Wanted to Hear
from the Game.
It was during the terrific December
gales of year ago that Yankee
schooner flying signals OF distress
sailed into the bay Of Gibraltar.
Almost Immediately, says Youths Com
panion, the American vice consul, with
friend, put off from the Calpe Rowing
club piers 10 visit her. As they clam
bered up the ships ladder they were
welcomed by the captain, Jolly Yam
kee from Plymouth, and by his rather
gloomy crew. Captain, are you in
trouble? What can 1 do for your
asked the vice consul, at the same time
remarking that his friend had that
morning arrived from New York on the
Fuerst Bismarck. "Wal, sirl The Lord
knows we've he'd our troubles, bein'
"a days out O. London, an no nearer
New York than this. Two of the lads
went over the side in that last blow,
an our topsails went when them spars
did. This pesky cargo O chalk hes
strained her so she's taltin' water this

needs done, an wen be obleeged for
your help, o course, sir. But II this

tinued: ''Whht we want to know s

soMeARpIER BEETLE.
Supplied by Nature with Strange
Weapon for Protection.


Weapon for Protection.
OF creatures inhabiting the land the
bombardier beetle certainly has the
queerest means of defense. When pur-
sued by an enemy he discharges an ex-
tremely volatile fluid which is secreted
by special glands and which has the
curious property of turning into cloud
of light blush smoke. Some say thas
this smoke blinds the pursuer for n
time, others say that it only confuses
him. If the first discharge is INSULT
cient the bombardier can repeat it as
many as 20 times, but he usually es-
capes before carrying the lombard
ment to this length.
OF sea creatures, the globe fish, or
puffer, uses the most extraordinary
means for protecting himself against
or escaping from his foe. In a quies-
cent state its body is somewhat thick,
and fattened on the under side. As
such, ne would make a nice mouthful
for good-sized enemy, but when he
finds that he is about to be seized he
pumps water into himself until he
swells out into a globe from 10 to IS
inches in diameter, and at the same
time erects a multitude of short, sharp
spikes, and so becomes very awkward
mouthful. Sometimes, even in this
state, he gets within the jaws of some
large enemy, and then he suddenly col
!apses to his original size and swims
out, leaving the jaws to close on moth

TESTS THE HUNTER.
Mau's True Temperament Brought Out
by Bad Luck I'm the Woods.

by Bad Luck In the Woods.
There are days that bring out the
hunters true temper. When the sun
shines and the crack of the rife brings
success any man can be gentle tenn
pered, and offer consolation to less for
tunate companions. Anyone can be q
good fellow sitting before big saplipg
fire after a day of success, and he can
laugh when anyone laughs; ~but let
there come days when the rain pours
down from low-hanging clouds and the
sun positively refuses to shine at all.
The deer lying snug back on the noun
tains refuse to appear, and the rust
gathers on the hunters rifle in melan-
oholy breeding spots. The drip, drip
of water from leaf to leaf, says the New
York Sun, is sound that brings ones
true nature to the surface.
Some men cannot be happy under
adversely in camp who in ordinary life
are the best of good fellows. The rain
seems to wash all their good qualities
into their shoes, and they make life
miserable for their companions with
their grumblings.
On the other hand there are men
sour tempered, with faces as cheerful
as rasps when in their home region,
who mellow down in the most con-
genial of spirits when in a camp in the
woods in spite of cold rains and cheer
less luck.
THE HORSE OF THE CENTURY.
Wonderful Career of the Great Trotter
Dexter.
Mr.. Jonas Hawkins, of Orange coun-
ty, obtained from a strolling gypsy
band brown mare, 1919 hands, with
four white feet. He used her, says
Scribner's Magazine, for a family nag,
and by Seeley's American Star got a
black FLY, foaled in 1s4s, which was
named Clara. The FLY became the
property of his son. Jonathan Haw-
kins, and she grew into a mare of 14.3
hands. She had a star, snip and three
white feet, and was driven pretty hard
on the country roads by her young mas
ter. In 1857, by Rysdvk's Handle
tonian, she had the paragon, Dexter.
LILO sbiVWh Ntoh bAo<o oAA>s
four white feet, was purchased by Mr..
George B. Alley, for $500, and he subse-
quently became the property of Mr.. A.
F. Fawcett. Dexter, under the tutor
ship of Hiram Woodruff, made his first
public appearance ut Fashion Course,
May 4, 1864. He met and defeated, dur
ing his short but brilliant turf career,
such horses as Gen. Butler, George M.
Patchen, Jr., Lady Thorne and Gold
smith Maid, and he probably was In
the enjoyment of more worldwide
fame than any horse foaled on Amer
lean soil. He brought Budd Doble into
public notice, and the sight of the
whitehead gelding coming with ire
mendous force down the home-stretch
inspired the loftiest dreams. The peo-
pie swung their hats and shouted:
"Hurrah for Dexterl Long live the
horse of the century,"
