SENATE GETS DOWN TO WORK.
No Further Danger of the Appropriate
Bills Failing to Pass.

No Further Danger of the Appropriation
Bills Failing to Pass.
Washington, March 2.-The senate
pressed steadily forward on the appro-
priation bills yesterday, making such
progress that no further apprehension
is felt as to the passage OF these great
fiscal measures. The District of Co.
lumbia bill was passed early in the day.
The naval bill brought out a hot con-
test on the price cf armor plate and the
senate committee had recommended a
maximum price of 500 a ton. This was
reduced to $500 and the bill passed at
midnight. There was very acrimon-
ious controversy between Tillman and
Hawley. the former having charged
| that there were boodlers in the senate,
| which the latter denounced as false.
The house sent the sundry civil and
postoffice bills to conference and passed
| some measures of no particular impor-
tance generally. An attempt to pass
the bill prohibiting graphic reports of
prize fights failed and the bill went over
| as unfinished business. The argument
against the bill was that it established a
| press censorship. A bill was passed to
| provide for the transmission to Wash
| ingtoH Of presidential election returns
by mail. The bill abolishes the system
| II messengers now employed.

A FIGHT WITH A LYNX.

Jim Berry Had q Desperate Struggle with
Savage Bobcat.
The ugliest appearing animal that
ever walked log. killed rabbit OF
fought trap is the lynx, which is just
as ugly as it looks ten months in the
year and somewhat uglier during the
other two Not only will the lynx fight
anything that walks the woods, but it
will also tackle visitor from the clear
ings, be he man or dog or half grown
calf, if the occasion offers.
Jim Berry was hunting up in Maine,
about 40 miles north of Greenville,
when he and his friend suddenly came
upon the carcass Of caribou which q
bear was eating. The bear made itself
scarce, much to Jim's regret, as he
wanted to kill the bear. Without say
ing anything to his friend he left camp
the next day and started for the carcass,
intending to watch it, in tho hope that
the bear would return. He waited and
watched until about 8 o'clock in the
afternoon, when he began to think of
returning to camp. A soft football back
in the woods-the crafty step of some
wild animal-just then sounded in his
ears. Pretty soon the bear was chewing
the caribou meat, and Jim could see it
plainly. He leveled his buckshot gun
and pulled the trigger, when the wab-
bling muzzle was pointed in what he
thought was the right direction. The
beast went down, and Jim started for it.
Then he stopped, with his mouth open.
The beast had leaped to his feet and
jumped sideways, with its back up.
Jim knew the yell, and he also recog-
nized the bumped back. 1t was wound
ed lynx spelling for fight. Not having
time to level his gun to shoot, the man
dubbed it, and the blow stunned the
cat little, but the beast got in q rake
on the mans leg and tore his trousers
and hide too. Another frantic sweep of
the gun barrel laid the beast fat, and
then q revolver bullet killed the animal.
The buckshot had torn the top of the
lynx's head-enough to make it angry.
