A BEARS FIGHT WITH DOGS.
How . YearlinE Made . Gallant De-
Tense of His Life.

The following capita! bear story comes
from klickitat county, Washington.
through a correspondent, "A. NJ:
Not long ago party OF sheepmen. con-
sisting of Win Coleman, Milt Morehead.
George Van Ostran and herder. were
in the vicinity of swamp corrals," on
the Upper klickitat river, when they dis
covered a yearlins brown bear. The party
had with them a number of coyote
hounds and shepherd dog, and the dogs
Immediately freed the bear. The bear
being only a yearling and freed so easily.
Van Ostran offered 70 climb the tree and
shake him out, evidently thinking him on
a par with a coon. but the bear refusing
to be- shaken, held on with tenacity.
A rope was then thrown Van Ostran.
who made moose aud with a dexterous
throw succeeded In catching the bear
about the head. One of the men of the
party was riding a good COW horse, and TO
him Van Ostran threw the end OF the
rope, and the latter, taking a turn around
the horn of the saddle, succeeded in
bringing down the bear. And now the
fight began In earnest. The bear made
rush for the horse, and struck out with
his right paw SO well that he cut a deep
cash in the horses shoulder and at the
same time freed himself from the lariat.
The sheepmen. believing that discretion
Is ever the better part of yalor, betook
themselves without loss of time to the
highest limb of a bull pine. where they
could in safety watch the battle going
on below.
The bear had successfully routed the
three hounds. when the shepherd dog de-
cided to take hand In the game The
bear made a swipe at him. and, catch
ing him by the collar. held on while the
shepherd danced a jig. Having rid HIM
self one by one Of the dogs. 1t looked as
though bruin was coming out high cock
o the game" when Rather, a staghound,
belonging to A. Smythe, seized the bear
by the throat. and was Immediately
locked in an embrace such as only a bear
can give, and the two rolled over and
over on the ground. But the hound held
on and lay apparently so close 10 the
bears breast that he was unatle TO
squeeze him very hard.
They fought thus for twenty minutes
until at last the bear succumbed, with his
windpipe cut in two. One of the men
said he had seen many a bear fight In his
day, but never such a game fight as on
this occasion. II Is needless to say that
Rather is much honored in Arlington
as the champion bear dog.

Early Adjournment ON Account OF

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE senate was
in session just fifteen minutes today. ad-
journment being taken until tomorrow out
of respect TO President Mckinley. who is
today in attendance upon the funeral Of his
mother. The motion to adjourn was made
by Hoar. of Massachusetts,.
"All senator's" said he "are aware OF
the great calamity that has overtaken the
chief magistrate of the nation. He is to-
day in attendance upon the funeral OF his
mother. Out OF respect TO him. and as an
expression of sympathy for him In his af-

No business beyond the introduction OF
bills and resolutions was transacted.
Among the bills introduced was one by
Kyle of South Dakota to change the i'm
migration laws of the United States. He
would offer the bill as substitute for that
which is now pending before the senate.

finance and bankruptcy. The caucus was
largely attended, Iai Of the rs Democratic
members being present, despite stormy
weather. Representative Richardson OF
Tennessee acted as chairman and Repre-
sentative Cummings Of New York and
Representative Cowherd OF Missouri acted
as secretaries. Representative Bailey took
the initiative by presenting the following
series Of resolutions:
Resolved, That IL is the sense OF this
caucus that the Democratic members Oh
the house of representatives ought to re-
sist all efforts, direct or indirect. to re.
tire the greenbacks and treasury notes.
Resolved. second. That we are opposed
TO and will resist all attempts to extend
the privileges OF national banks. or 10 re-
duce the taxes which they now pay.
Resolved, third, That We favor the
early consideration and passage OF q reso-
luton recognizing that condition Of war
exists in the island Of Cuba between the
government OF Spain and the Cuban peo-
Resolved. fourth, That we favor the
early enactment Of just and wise bank
ruptey law.
The first three features OF the resolu-
tons on finance and Cuba were consid-
cred separately, the discussion being
vigorous and unanimously favorable.
Bailey made the main speech. urging that
Democratic members should take their
opposition promptly against those finan-
cial movements now assuming formidable
dimensions, owing to the recommendations
given to them by the president and secre-
tary of the treasury. He also spoke for
a clear-cut position in favor Of the recos-
milton Of Cuban beiiigerency. as embodied
in the Morgan resolution which passed
the senate during the extra session. There
was not a dissenting vote to Bailey's
propositions. and the first three resoiu-
tons were carried by unanimous vote,
the result being received with hearty
cheers.
The fourth feature of the resolutions
declaring for just and wise bankruptcy
Law. met with some opposition. De Ar
mond of Missouri argued that 1t was not
expedient for the party to take position
favorable to a bankruptcy bill at this
time. The resolution was supported by
Bailey. Sims of Tennessee and Swanson
of Virginia. The resolution finally pre-
vailed by a large majority. although De
Almond and about a half dozen others
registered their votes in opposition.
On motion Of Maddox of Georgia ar
rangements were made for the usual
congressional committee to conduct the
congressional campaign In 1898. The COM
mittee is 10 consist of one member from
each state. territory and the District OF
Columbia and nine senators to be chosen

teal Unanimity.
