Maine's Ax-HandIe Man.

The ax-handle man is another peculiar
worker in the Maine words, and he lives just
as uncOnventionally and has just good a
time as the hoop-pole man or the gum pick
er. He frequently accompanies the hoop
pole man in his tours through the woods in
the wake Of the loggers.- The saplings need
ed for ax-handles must he larger than those
the hoop-pole man Is looking for, and con-
sequently their interests do not conflict, un-
less 1t Is that the hoop-pole man denudes
the forests SO thoroughly that he leaves very
few saplings behind to grow up for the ak
handle cutter. The ash sapiings are about
the only ones that the latter looks for, and
he goes into the woods in the fall and chops
down every sapling Of the desired size. The
young tree is then split, and the chopper
blocks out the handle in a rough way. When
good collection Of handles is thus blocked
out, they are buried so they may season
without cracking. If the sun is allowed to
shine upon these ash handles for any length
of time while seasoning, the fiber loses it's
frmness. In addition to this precaution the
large ends Of the handles are smeared over
with greasy paint that tends further to
hold the grain together. In the winter the
ax-handle men collect their handles that have
been buried throughout the forest at con-
venient places and send them to the railroad
station, and thence to the factory, where they
are finished of.-Correspoudence New York

GIVES UP THE DITCH.
Senator Morgan to Allow the Mica
ragua Bill to- BE SheIved.


WASHINGTON, Feb. Z. If Senator
Morgan pursues his present plan, he
will move to take up the Nicaragua
canal bill during the morning hour
Monday. He expects the motion to be
antagOnized and in that event will
secure a vote which will, he thinks,
demonstrate the voting strength of the
canal bill. He expects the vote to be
largely in the minority but whatever
the result, he probably will announce
his abandonment of the bill for the
present session on account Of the de-
termined obstruction to its passage,
while at the same time he will declare
his purpose to press the measure with
more determination than ever at the
next session.
The withdrawal Of the Nicaragua
bill from its present place at the head
of the calendar will leave the way
open for other measures pressing
for consideration. The diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill has
already been reported and there will
be an effort to secure attention to it
Monday. The appropriation committee
expect to have the Indian and agricul-
vi
will ask for early consideration
Senator Thurston will seek the first
opportunity to conclude his speech on
the Pacific railroad resolutions; Senator
Morrill, has given notice Of his intention
to advance the bill to prohibit the sale
of liquor in the capitol, and Senator
Sherman will abide by his decision to
ask the senate to go into executive
session early Monday for the purpose
of considering the general arbitration
treaty with Great Britain.
AS soon as these matters will permit,
there will be an effort to proceed with
the bankruptcy bill, and it is not ex-
pected that there will be any avowed
opposition to consideration.
The proceedings relative to the arbi-
tration treaty will be held in executive
session, and will be long and ami
mated.
Wednesday the senate will join with
the house to see the count of the cleo
toral vote.
Senator Lodge hopes to get up the
conference report on the immigration
it, which he thinks will be done the
1dllGf part Oh the present week.
THE HOUSE.
The feature Of the week in the house
will be the ceremonies on Wednesday
Of the counting of the electoral vote
and the formal PRONUNCIATION Of the
election Of Mckinley and Hobart by the
vice president of the United States. 1t
is a state occasion, but Of a very formal
character.
Unless the Notifications or sundry
civil bill is reported, the house will
have no appropriation bill to consider
this week, ana most of the time will
be devoted to such bills as the various
committees may present, and the con-
ference reports. There are three con-
tested election cases-Beattie VS. Price,
from Louisiana; Hopkins vs. Kendrick,
from Kentucky, and Benoft VS.. Boatner,
which probably will be decided. In
each case the majority report favOrs
the sitting member, a Democrat, and
little time will be consumed in dispos-
ing of them.

several villages in the suburbs are in
flames. Outside the walls Of Canea
there has been a continuous fusillade
since Saturday, the soldiers siding with
the Mussulmans. All Of the Christians
have left the town, 1900 Of them going
aboard the British vessels, while 200
subjects of France have gone aboard
the French cruiser. The palace of the
Christian governor Of the island,
Georgi Berovitch, prince Of Samoa, be-
ing blockaded by Mussulmans Bero-
witch Pasha accordingly distributed
arms with the view of dispensing the
besiegers. At Halpea, 700 armed Chris
tians are facing an armed body Of Mus
sulmans. The situation at Retimo is
serious. The insurgents hold the vice
consuls, the bishop and other notable
prisoners as hostages. The Turks have
already pillaged several villages, and it
is feared that the insurrection will in
volve the whole Of Crete. The Greek
squadron has arrived here.

HAVANA, Feb. Via Key West
During the course of the recent re-
marks of Capt. Gen. Weyler at
Villa Clara the Spanish commander
said that he expected to put an end TO
the revolution in the province Of Santa
Clara, In the near future; that the rev
olution was not being conducted as a
war, that it was really only an organ
ization of bandits on a large scale. He
explained his reasons for not author
1zing the grinding of sugar cane. stat
Ing that it was not in accordance with
his plan of campaign, and that besides
the sugar crop only gave assistance to
the insurgents.
The government has promised to es-
tablish reforms, but their establishment
would depend upon the triumph of the
Spanish arms. At the conclusion or
his remarks he asked for the Cooper
alton of all in the efforts to suppress
