The bookkeeper yawned. The son Of

An old CrocodiIe

One of the most interesting specimens
in the British museum is crocodile
more than 1000 years old. II is a big.
well-preserved specimen, and on its
back there is a whole family of little
croeodiles. Years before the Christian
era the Egyptians worshiped crocodiles
among their animal deities. and many
specimens were kept at great expense
in their parks and royal gardens. where
they were attended by priests and given
all sorts of dainty morsels for food
When these crocodile gods died they
were embalmed and placed in the tombs
along with the sacred mummies of
other sacred animals. This particular
crocodile was prepared by dipping it
in wax and pitch. which rendered it
hard and shiny, and it lay in one of
the pyramids century after century.

out and presented it to the British mu-

says, in speaking OF the threatened
strike Of the employees Of the City
Railway company: IF it is true that
these men were discharged because
they were active in organizing a union
for their protection I believe that pub

declared There is a great deal OF talk
OF the railroads combining in their own
interests, and I see no reason why the

KNOCKED DOWN BY A sCORCHER.
Four -Year-Old Child Badly Injured by a Reckless Bicyclist on Orange

Four Year-Old Child Badly Injured by
 a Reckless Blcyclist on Orange
 Street
 The four-year-o daughter of ex-Al- derman John M Champion of 537 Or ange street, was knocked down and run over by sc1rching wheelman about o'clock Wednesday evening. The child was crossing the street with her elder sister when the reckless bicyclist came scorching down the street and without sounding any warning ran into the lit tie girl as described.
 In addition to his culpable negli- gence the man did not even volunteer to assist in carrying the injured child to her home, but instead mounted his bi- cycle and sped away with a curse as to people being in the street.
 Arthur Earle, clerk at the Winches- ter Arms company, who was on his way home, took the child in his arms and carried her home. He had witness ed the accident and can give good description of the wheelman.
 The child's injuries were severe. Dr. Rollin McNeil, the family physician, was sent for and he made an examin- ation of the childs injuries. He found a confused wound on the knee and other injuries about the head. The lit- tie girl was unconscious for several hours. Yesterday morning she was resting easier.
 MT. Crampton made formal complaint to the police against the scorcher We'd nesday night, and the matter was turn ed over to the detective bureau for in vestigation.
 MT. Champion is naturally very in dignant at the outrage and the de- mand of Orange street residents for police protection from reckless wheel men is greatly strengthened by the oc- Currence.

FOR A TRANSPACIFIC CABLE.
A New Proposition to Be Submitted to
 the Hawaiian Government.

A New Proposition to Be Submitted to the Hawaiian Government. San Francisco, June 3.-A new cable proposition will soon be submitted to
 the Hawaiian government. Its pro- moter is Ishikawa, financial editor of the Tokio Chuo Shinbun, who came here a week ago to inquire into the condi- ton of his countrymen on the islands. He holds a special commission from the Tokio Economical society to secure all the information possible on the sub ject, and he says that he has enough
 capital backing him to carry out any
 proposition that promises fair returns
 for the capital invested.
 Ishikawa has met MT. Hartwell and
 Colonel Spalding, who represent New York capitalists, figuring on the cable, and has given much study to their maps and surveys, and Is satisfied that a cable from San Francisco to Yokohama via the Hawaiian Islands, would be a good investment.
 According to his figures a cable can be laid from San Francisco to Hono-
 lulu for $S,0OO,OoO, and from the islands
 to Yokohama for $8000, 000 He does not believe that a cable from the coast to Honolulu alone could be made to pay | under the present conditions, but he
 can figure AZ per cent. on the money invested for the first year on a trans pacific cable. His plan is to issue $10,- 000,000 stock and to dispose of five tenths in the United States, four tenths | in Japan and one-tenth in Hawaii. The Japanese government, he says will give subsidy of $500,000.

 John F, and Henry Carroll, John Me- Gregor and Leonard Walton of Preston were in Norwich yesterday, They started for home, all intoxicated. One man heard Henry Carroll say to John Carroll; You do that again and I'll fix you"
 When the party reached Hamilton avenue and Main street Leroy P. Tuck CT of Elm street, who was passing, hearing angry words, at once went to the home of Constable c. D. Grover and told him that they would probably have row before they reached home. The constable walked after the men up Hamilton avenue, and when in front of the home of Charles F. Engler he saw body lying in the street and two men standing near it.
 Constable Grover called out to the two men and they surrendered and proved to be Henry Carroll and John McGregor. The body in the street was found to be that of John Carroll. There were five ugly stab wounds in the left side and the mouth was gashed The body was moved to shed and a mes sage sent to Coroner Brown. He held an inquest to-day.
 Near the body was found butchers skinning knife with a curved blade about six inches In length. It was cov- | cred with blood. On the way to the | police station Henry Carroll acknowl, | edged having killed his cousin. His hands were covered with blood and his left wrist was cut.

took occasion to taunt the republicans with sitting idly by while thousands of bills which should be considered were slumbering, Many of these bills were for the relief of old soldiers.
 MT. Payne replied that the republi- cans were entirely satisfied with the situation.
 . "We don't propose" said he, ito lay a single straw in the way of the sen- ate's action on the tariff bill. (Ap- plause) As to the old soldiers, they will be taken care of as soon as the treasury can be replenished. The re- publicans," he continued, have confi- dence in their executive. They are willing to trust him to take care of the Cuban question. But he must be given time to examine the situation"
 "The republicans to a man stand by the speaker. We have sat by day after day" said he, and seen him insulted because we know insults from that side of the house could not hurt him. We saw it tried in 1890 and 1891. We saw him attacked, insulted and even abus- ed with foul names, but the abuse re- cofled upon Its authors and the coun- try sustained the speaker. Evidently there are still those over there (point- ing to the democratic side) who believe they can gain some notoriety or fame by hurling insults at the gentleman whose place in the chair stops him from defending himself" (Applause) MT. Payne's remarks aroused the democrats, and several of them desired to reply. When, therefore, MT. Payne cut them off by demanding the previ- ous question, they began to filibuster.
 MT. Stevens, dem., of Texas, asked unanimous consent for the considera- ton of the senate resolution making an appropriation of $10,000 for the re- lief of the flood sufferers at El Paso, Texas. This was passed after being amended to make the $10,000 payable out of the unused balance of the money appropriated for the Mississippi flood sufferers.
 The house then adjourned until Mon- day.

 Thereupon Mir. Terry read a long resolution with several "whereases'' which he had prepared. It recited the deep interest the people had in the Cuban question, the passage of the bel ligerency resolution by the senate, the necessity for it's due and ordinary con- sideration by a committee of the house and concluded with a declaration of the sense of the house that the commit tee on foreign affairs should be imme- diately appointed.
 Mir. Payne made a point of order which the speaker sustained, and di- rected Mir. Terry to resume his seat. But subsequently, when MT. Terry de- clared that he intended to enter an ap- peal. the speaker entertained it. and the appeal was laid on the table-90-65 pres ent and paired 2S.

ROBBERY AT HOTEL MAJESTIC.
Forty-One Dollars in Bills Stolen
 Suspicion Rests on Students.

Forty-One Dollars in Bills Stolen
 Suspicion Rests on Students.
 The police are at present investigat- ing robbery that occurred at the hotel
 Majestic last Monday night.
 On that night after the guests had retired the night clerk, Reuben Holmes, left the office to go to room on one of the upper floors A party of students in room adjoining the office were the only persons about.
 When Holmes returned after a few
 minutes absence the students had ta- ken their departure.
 Holmes suspicion was aroused by
 their somewhat nasty leave taking and
 on examining the drawer found $41 in
 bills missing, everything else being all
 right. He reported the matter next
 morning to the Gay brothers and an attempt was made to find the students at their rooms, but they could not be found.
 Detective Cowles then took up the case and visited the students rooms, but since Monday night their rooms | have not been occupied. He has de- | tailed Detective Gibson to work up the case.
 The police will not talk about the l matter. It is admitted that suspicion rests upon the students, but their names | are withheld until sufficient evidence Is obtained against them. An uncontirm- | ed rumor Is also about to the effect | that some of the hotel guests were l robbed of jewelry.
 It was stated yesterday that the de- | tectives had some clue which might | lead to the capture of the suspected parties. b.
