w. S. Emery had quite tussle with
q large buck which he had shot, says
the Roscommon News. He and Chas.
Worden had been out hunting and had
each got shot at a large buck. Both
shots took effect, one in the head and
the other in the shoulder, shattering
the bone. The deer fell, and Mr.. EN-
cry started to cut his throat, he had
hold of its horns and had driven the
knife into its neck, the deer objected,
and, in spite of Mr.. Emery's efforts,
got up and started to run. After going
short distance it fell, and Will sue
ceeded in cutting its throat. He
thought that would finish it, but a
second and third time the deer strug-
gled to its feet and started off with the
blood pouring from its wounds. Mr..
Emery says he has killed large num-
Der of deer but never saw one that ex-
hibited the vitality that this one did.

Another Questionable Transaction OF the For
mer Assistant Secretary OF War.
WASHINGTON, May 19.--The Auditor of the
Treasury for the War Department has uncov-
cred another questionable transaction Of Joseph
S. Doe, formerly Assistant Secretary of War.
who has been accused of converting Govern
ment property. including stationery, furniture
and packing boxes, to his personal use. The
Auditor, after investigating an expenditure Of
$3.50 for a saddle horse purchased for Mr.. Doe,
has disalowed 1t, and charged the amount
against the army Quartermaster at Chicago.
According to the papers in the possession Of the
War Department and the Auditor a Wisconsin
man by the name Of Mckinney was appointed by
Mr.. Doe to purchase horses for the regular cav.
airy, but was dismissed without his knowledge.
Mr.. Doe secured his reinstatement, and McKin-
ney continued to hold the place until Mr.. Meikle-
john of Nebraska was appointed Assistant Sec
retary, wh N his services were dispensed with
on the ground Of incompetency.
An inquiry into Mckinney's accounts showed
that he had bought the riding horse In Chicago
and turned it over to the army Quartermaster
there for shipment TO Mr.. Doe. The Quarter
master. in the belief that the purchase was pri-
vate, sent the bill to the Assistant Secretary,
who sent reply directing that the horse be sent
to the army Quartermaster here for the use of
proved the account as an expenditure for the
public service. and shipped the horse as directed.
1t is said that Mr. Doe used the animal for his
personal convenience The Quartermaster at
Chicago will have to pay the bill unless Con-
gress appropriates $50 for his relief.

April 4, 1896, as follows:

functions Of Its Government are in allegiance or
practically suspended throughout q greater part
of the island Outside of towns still under Span

WARRINGTON. May 19.-The interest felt by
President Mckinley in the preparatory meas
ures to secure an international agreement on BIZ
metallism. with which the commission, COM
posed OF Messrs. Wolcott, Stevenson. and Paine.
are charged, was shown to-day in q despatch
sent by his direction through the State Depart
ment to the Ambassadors of the United States
at London, Paris. and Berlin. and the United
States Minister at st. Petersburg. The four
diplomatic representatives were instructed to
pave the way for the negotiations Of the None
tary Commissioners. Each was directed by the
President TO sound the Ministry of the Govern
ments TO which he ia accredited as to the chances
for securing a conference between tho United
States and other great nations looking to bi-
metallic agreement, and to urge that attention
be given TO the representations OF the Commits
sioners.
France has shown u sympathy with the pur-
poses of the commission. and the Washington
Administration hopes to secure its cooperation
in attaining definite results 1t is said here that
when the Commissioners have completed their
negotiations the French Government will join
with that OF the United States in an invitation
TO other powers to hold monetary conference.
That is the expectation Of the President, and Is
probably the result OF an intimation from Paris.

DAMAGE TO THE DRY DOCK.
Admiral Buncc says II Will Cost SIS, 900 ana

WASHINGTON. May 19,-Tho damage to tho
new dry dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard is
more serious than was at first realized, and il Is
now practically certain that tho navy will be
unable to use IL again for the larger vessels for
six months, or perhaps longer. Admiral Bunce,
commandant Of the yard, telegraphed to-day
that tho cause Of the accident had been discov
cred, and from his report Commodore Matthews,
chief of the bureau having docks in charge. esti-
mates that large sum- probably $4,000. will
be required to render the dock safe for the
accommodation of the battle ships. He believes
that an immense Golfer dam will have TO be con-
structed outside the entrance TO the sill to hold
back the water while the work of repairs arc
being effected, and that the cost of this tenpor-
ary structure alone will amount to several
thousand dollars. He said that IL will be i'm
possible for divers to conduct the repair work.
and that It is now necessary to call on Congress
for for ar, an immediate ;, appropriation to prevent
Although the Government will have to bear
the entire expense Of repairing the dock. II has

Government officials and was probably unavoid-
able; Admiral Bunce's telegram indicates that
the dredging at the entrance to the sill weakened
that part OF the structure through which the
water entered, and that while the accident could
charge of the dredging should have taken into
consideration that they were venturins danger

Should any accident occur to either the Massa-
chusetts or tho Indiana that required that they
should BIO dockcd. the Government would find
itself without means of taking them from the
water at any port on the Eastern coast, as the
Port Royal dock can take none OF the battle
ships except at extraordinary stages OF high
tide. which occur IA rule semi-annualy.
Commodore Matthews estimates that in no
event will the cock be again serviceable under
five or six months. Meanwhile all the docking
OF battle ships that is done ON this coast must be
conducted at the other dry dock at New York
and IL smaller vessels at Norfolk and Port Royal
The big battle ship Iowa goes into commission
on June Is. and should be docked in the next
few months.
