END OF A NOVEL CRUISE.
Bark Swallow Returns With Cargo
of Sea Elephant Oil

Block Island, r. L, July 23.-The Bos-
ton whaling bark Swallow, Captain B.
D. Cleveland, which sailed August &c
of last year on a cruise to the south
Atlantic in quest of sea elephants, was
sighted off here last night, bound into
New Bedford with a full cargo of sea
elephant oil.
The cruise Of the Swallow has been
unusually successful. On leaving BOs-
ton she was prOvisiOned for a two
years cruise, but the vessel returned
in less than a year, laden to her utmost
capacity. The Swallow proceeded to
the DesolatiOn islands and on reach
ing there the sea elephants were found
to abound in great mum berS.
After 1000 barrels of oil from the sea
elephants had been slowed in the YES
sci she proceeded to Cape Town, where
she arrived May 1. Her owner, Rich
ard T. Green. cabled Captain Cleveland
to set sail for New Bedford, and he left
the south African port May is, making
a good run home.
The cruise of the Swallow was most
novel one and the first of its kind at
tempted for years. The industry has
become obsolete and the undertaking
was in the nature Of an experiment.
The success attending it will, however,
doubtless lead to other vessels being
sent on similar cruises. The oil brought
home by the Swallow is valued at $780,
600. The greater portion of it will be
exported to France.

New York Commercial Advertiser:
Rear Admiral Dewey seems to be the
most useful man in the country's ser
vice We never hear of instructions to
him. From time to time he cables and
sends just enough information to show
that he is master of the situation, but
the public does not know of any des-
patch being sent him from the navy
department since the telegram Of con-
graduation after the fight. Meanwhile
he rules Manila Bay with an iron hand,
does his own negotiating, and has
shown his readiness to fire on any Ger
man ship that gets in his way. He
does not seem to require anything from
the government, and he shows the same
qualities in negotiating, in dealing with
troublesome Teutons and in writing re-
ports to Washington that he shows in
fighting. The grim, determined, tact
turn, masterfuI rear admiral, holding
Manila in stern clutch for eleven weeks
from the deck OF his flagship. is the
most striking and dramatic figure of
the war.

ISSUE
The controversy came up over thresh-
ing account that had been garnisheed.
The garnisheed admitted that he owed the
debt, but stated that he had accepted a
written order for $40 of it. There was no
internal revenue stamp on this order and
Mr.. Ready raised the question that under
the internal revenue law it was null and
void. The justice held with him and or
dered the man to pay the money into
court on the garnishment proceeding in
stead of upon the written order. He, how
ever, absolutely refused to comply with
this order.
This led to a parley first, and then a
compromise. The man paid his money
into court, the two claimants each took
half of it, paid half the costs and his law

LIEUTENANTS PASS.

dent, Fails at Leavenworth.
Leavenworth, Kan, July 23.-The ex-
animation by a board of officers of a
class of Sc civilians for commissions as
lieutenants in the regular army has
ended at Fort Leavenworth and "a Of
them passed. The examination was not
nearly as severe as that usually given
to privates from the regular army, and
the large percentage of failures caused
surprise
Nearly all the young men are mem
berS of prominent western families and
they had strong political backing to get
named for commissions to start with.
A large class of civilians was examined
at Fort Monroe a few days ago and all
of them were passed, and some of those
who failed complain of partial treat
ment.
Among the successful ones is Pearl
M. Shafter, a nephew of Gen. Shafter,
Irwin Harrison, a nephew of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, and Donald McNulta,
son of Gen. John McNulta of Chicago,
are among the failures. An effort was
made to keep the standing of the class
from the public until officials of the
war department gave it out. Some live
~ telegraphing was INDUCED in to have
Washington to have the entire class
certified for commissions regardless OF
the result of the examination.
Those who failed have been notified
that they can have another trial at a
written examination.
Mark Wheeler of Bridgeport, Saline
county, is the only Kansan in the list.

BUTcHERED THE BUFFALO.
Untimely End of Wild West Shows
Attraction.

Newton, July Pc. F. Shires of South
Enid. o. T., came up to look up a wild
animal show which he started on the road
some time ago. Shires is a prominent
cattleman near Enid and makes a special
ty of buying up curious cattle and espe-
cialy wild ones. He made up a collec-
ton and started it on the road. With
the show was a buffalo, which proved
quite an attraction.
Yesterday Mr.. Shires happened to be in
Wichita and inquired about the show. He
was told that it had started for Newton.
He asked about the buffalo and was told
there was none in the show. Upon in
vestigation he found the remains of the
animal in a butcher shop. He will pro-
coed against the manager to recover pos
session of his property.
