also very effective. These applique en-

The Vanishing Buffalo.

1t is estimated that there are in all
about six hundred bison living in cap
tlvlty, most Of them in half-domesti-
Gated state, and in this total are in
cluded the few in geological gardens in
America and Great Britain, and on the
Continent. The Montana herd of about
two hundred and fifty is the largest
and most remarkable, for they are not
restrained by fences, but wander at
will like range cattle. Moreover, they
have been crossed with polled Angus
stock. The young beasts are said to
be magnificent animals, with fur that
is finer and closer than that of the
bison, and they yield nose excellent
meat. Nearly all the cross-bred ami
mails retain much of the instinct of
their wild progenitors. In by-gone
times bison rarely succumbed to the
billiards.. They punched together, in
wedge-shaped mass, the bulls occu-
plying the outside and protecting the
cows and calves. Thus thew were en-
abled to survive the widest storm. be-
fore which domestic cattle would be
drive& away, and wander miles from
their pastures, to perish for want Of
food. The next largest herd is that
in the Yellowstone Park. Here the
poacher is the great difficulty the au-
thorities have to contend with and
this is not surprising when a bison
skin or good head will fetch hun
dred dollars. Two troops of cavalry
are quartered in the Park to act as
forest rangers. Three years ago there
were still about two hundred in the
bison herd: but last year they had
dwindled to fifty.

An Amendment Taxing Tea Is Added by
the Senate.
Washington, June 4.-The war reve-
nue. measure was passed by the Sem
ate this evening ut 7:O5 o'clock. The
Dill was under consideration eight
hours to-day. A score or more at-
tempts were made to amend 1t, but in
only three or four instances were the
attempts successful. Particular effort
was made to amend the bond provis-
ion of the measure, but it was futile
in every instance. The most notable
amendment made to the measure to-
Democrat, s. c. placing duty of 10
cents a pound on all ten imported into
the United States. The amendment
created no debate and was adopted by
a vote Of 3S to 80. 1t is calculated by
the Senate experts that the duty, If 1t
be finally enacted into law, will raise
at least $1O,O0O,OOO a year, and prob
ably more. An amendment offered by
Mr.. Chiffon (Democrat, Texas, n men,
ber of the finance committee, pro-
vides for tax, graduated according
to price, upon all articles sold under a
patent right, trade mark or name not
open to general use, and which are
not otherwise taxed by the bill.
Through an amendment offered by
Mr.. Lindsay Democrat, Kentucky,
the Senate decided not to place
stamp tax upon bundles Of newspa-
pers, wholly or partly printed, which
weigh less than 100 pounds.
A tax of cents barrel was placed
on adulterated flour, and n stamp tax
of 1 cent on every ticket entitling the
holder to seat in a palace or parlor
car or berth in n sleeping car, the
company selling the seat or berth be-
ing required to atfix the stamp.
On the passage of the measure every
Republican voted In the affirmative.
By parties the vote in favor of the
measure was:
Republicans, 80; Democrats, Z; Pop
ullsts, i; Silver Republicans, l. Total
-48.

there won't be any Spaniards left at
the end of the fight. The American
ships have taken no part In the fight
ing. Neither boats nor men have been
landed and reports to the contrary are
false. Dispatches from Manila say
that Aguinaldo is doing splendid work.
Monday, last week. he routed the Span
iards taking 400 prisoners, among them
% officers. On the Wednesday follow
ing he took so prisoners and four field
pieces In battle at point between
Cavite and Manila. On Thursday when
the dispatch left Manila, he had COR
nered 100 Spaniards In an old church
at Cavite, and, not caring to lombard,
he was starving them. He treats his
prisoners well. -Four towns are now in
the possession of the rebels. 1t is re-
ported that the governor general of the
Philippines wanted to surrender, but
his officers prevailed upon him to hold
out. The captain Of the province of
Batanga has been taken by the insurg-

numerary aboard n fighting ship, and
is not assigned to regular duty. nl-

squadron in order that he may be free

know him say that they would have
supposed Hobson to be the last man in

this kind, which required the greatest
possible courage. nerve and cOolness.
Experts cannot imagine any greater
test of mans self-control than to run
an old craft like the Merrimac be-
tween two ranges of batteries which
were hurling tons of metal at 1t and
then slow down in the channel, run
the nose of the vessel toward the
bank, drop an anchor. wait for her to
swing around with the tide until her
hull was in just the proper position for
the blockade, and then to touch Off
torpedoes that would sink her at eX-
actly the proper spot. 1t would take
unusual skill and coolness to do job
of that kind under the most peaceful
circumstances, and one can scarcely
imagine the degree of self-cOntrol
necessary to carry it out successfully
while under a calling fire like that
which must have poured in upon the
old Merrimac.
