CREsPO's FIRM STAND.

Refuses to Consider the Uruan and
Boundary Questions Separately.
LONDON. Jan. 1O.-A letter from
Caracas, Venezuela, to the London
Times, says it is evident that it is the
present intention of President Crespo
not to give any satisfaction for the
Uruan incident and that he is deter
mined to com bine the Uruan and
frontier questions, regarding them as
one dispute. The Times correspond
ent adds that this is directly contrary
to President Crespo's previous assur-
ances to him and he recites at length
how the change was brought about by
President Cleveland's message to con-
gress and arrives at the conclusion
that: by hook or crook President
Crespo and his friends hope to entan-
gle the United States and they will
not leave a stone unturned to accom-
plish this end"

SAILING VESSELS FAST TRIP
The Helensburgh Crosses from Hull
In Twenty-one Days.

The HeIensburgh Crosses from Hull
In Twenty-one Days.
The British ship Helensburgh, which
reached this port on Monday at mid
night, made the passage from Hull in
twenty-one days, which is believed to
be record eaking trip for sailing
vessel from that port, says a writer In
the New York Tribune. Indeed, the
average voyage of steamers from that
city takes about seventeen days. Inc
Helensburg is full-rigged, three-mast-
ed steel ship. Captain Jefferson, her
master, said he had strong, steady
winds, varying from east to west,
throughout the trip. Two or three gales
overlook him, but under reduced sail
his gallant ship plowed along before
them on her course. She had no use
for light sails at any time, and her
skipper kept her under courses, topsailS
and topgallant sails. On several days
she made 300 knots, and on one day 800,
at which rate she could have shown
her heels" to many a tramp steamer.
Four days were taken in the North
Sea and the English Channel, and the
voyage from point off Falmouth was
therefore of only seventeen days dura-
ton. Captain Jefferson is proud of this
craft, and says that once on a voyage
to Australia she covered ESQ knots in a
day. Her present passage is the quick
est made across the Atlantic in many
a long day. In 1891 the Howard D.
Thorp, a Yankee ship, surprised her
consignees by anchoring in the Bay
eleven days out from Glasgow. The
record was made, however, under the
more favorable winds of an eastern
trip by the Yankee clipper Dreadnaught,
in 1859, when she made Liverpool from
here in nine days. Such ships are no
longer built, and from Hull the Helens-
burgh now holds the record for sailing
craft. She brings 1900 tons of chalk,
and is under charter to take a cargo of
case oil to Shanghai.

MRS. DAVIDSON,

DR.. Browns Attorney Puts Her Through
q Rigorous Cross Examination.
SAN Francisco, Jan. IO.-At the con-
tinuation of the police court examina-
ton of Mrs. Mary A. Davidson for
alleged eXtortion from Rev. c. o.
Brown, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church, the defendant was
again on the witness stand on cross
examination. Her attorney tried to
show by repeated questions that DIR.
Brown was aware of the existence of
the mysterious Mrs. Baddin, for
whom Mrs. Davidson said she was col
lecting the money from DIR. Brown.
This point could not be developed,
however, nor did Mrs. Davidson's at
torney succeed in introducing evil
dence as to the clergyman's alleged
intimacy with Miss Overman. The
prosecution tried to show by the de-
PENDANT that she had been convicted
of a felony in Lynn, Mass, and had
served a term in the penal institution.
The witness could not remember if
she had been convicted, nor could she
recall the names of any persons whom
she was charged with having swiudled,
although their names were suggested

A PECULIAR FISH.
Renncra or Sucking Fish which Lives
Mostly In Deep Water.

Rennora or Sucking Fish which Lives
Mostly In Deep Water.
striped remora, or sucking fish,
was found recently attached to the bot
tom of one of the steam launches which
run around Glen Island, says a writer
in the Boston Transcript. 1t was trans
ferred to one of the large tanks of the
Glen Island Aquarium. The fish, though
not rare, is a deep sea fish, and is hard
to capture. 1t grows to the length of
twelve or eighteen inches. The fat
top Of it's head is surmounted by large
sucking disk extending from near the
tip of its upper jaw to the ends of the
pectoral fms, or about one-third of the
total length of the fish. The disk is
made up of seventeen or eighteen pairs
of bony laminae, the edges of which are
furnished with rows of minute tooth
like projections. With this disk the
fish attaches itself to a shark, a turtle,
or some other large fish, and is in this
manner drawn through the water with
out the exertion of swimming. Oc-
casionally it will release its hold long
enough to swim off and get something
to eat, but Immediately returns to re-
fasten itself The South American In
dams make use of this instinct of the
fish to catch sea turtles. They fasten a
ring around the remora's tai to which
they attach long line. The fish is then
taken to sea, and when a. large turtle
is sighted the remora is thrown over
board. It unerringly swims to the
turtle and makes fast. The line is then
drawn in, and soon both turtle and re-
mora are in the boat. 1t is necessary,
however, to wait until the fish feels in
clined to let go, for it is impossible to
detach it from the object by force with
out injury.

The city was in perfect uproar last
night, caused by the Bachelors club
being out in force to haze A. H. Gil
lespie, a member of the club, who re-
Gently was married, in violation to the
clubs solemn rules and obligations.
He was boxed up in a queensware crate
and hauled up the main streets of the
city; had his face blackened with a
common shoe brush. The band played
a solemn march as the procession went
UP the street. He was then taken to
the hall, where the degree of knight
of the orient was to be administered
to him, but when about half way
through he was overcome by the shock
of the initiation ceremonies and re-
quirements and became unconscious.
He is all right this morning.-Cincin-

WASHINGTON, Jan. fO.-The Senate
finance committee failed to meet yes
Jerday, Notwithstanding the instruc-

covered that Senator Jones of Nevada
would not act with the Republican
membere of the committee in report

largely interested in the beet sugar
industry any tariff bill passed should

THE PROSPECT OF WAR.
England and Germany are Prepared but
the Pretext Is Wanting.

LONDON, Jan. 1O.-No influential
person in England believes there is
any danger of war with Germany in
the near future Authentic advices
from Berlin are unanimous that no in
fuential person there believes circum-
stances will arise in the near future to
provoke war with England. But there
is no intelligent person in England
who does not recognize that the
Kaiser is prepared to provoke war in
case of further aggressions by Eng
land in South Africa, and that, indeed,
he is in the temper to quarrel with
England on almost any valid occasion
offered him. And England is in the
mood to accept the Kaiser's challenge
whenever it comes.

A Sidewalk Artist.

Some years ago there was poor man
who drew pictures of soldiers and dogs and
ships on a bit of smooth sidewalk in
Hampstead road and collected pennies
from such art lovers as CHANGED to pass
One of his most frequent patrons was Du
Maurier, who on certain cold day was
moved by the pitiable appearance of his
humble professional brother and offered
to guard the i'm ploring hat while its owner
went to soup kitchen in Euston road.
AS soon as the man was out of sight the
deputy hastily erased all the pictures he
had been left to exploit and replaced them
with portraits in chalk of society ladies
and gentlemen, like those famous in
Punch. An appreciative public mani
tested interest to the extent of many cop
pers and two or three sixpences. When
the less famous artist returned he was
pleased to find so much in his hat, but re-
GREETED that his work had been destroyed.
"This may attract some people, but it
amt art" he said to Du Maurier, and i'm
mediately wiped out the society lights,

the picture of a'soldier.-London Letter.
