From the London Morning Post.
The Haiphong mail has brought news OF
a hitherto unknown species of ocean mon
ster which has been seen on several occas-
ions by the officers of the gunboat Ava.
.lanche in Fai-tsi-Long bay. Naval Lieut..
Lasresile, commander of the Avalanche,
reports that in July last, in Along bay,
two animals of strange form, about twenty
yards long and two or three yards in cir
conference were observed at a distance
Of 600 meters. Their movements were not
rigid, but unduiatory, in a vertical sense.
They dived when a shot was fired al them.
Several similar creatures were seen on
Feb. is this year, and were fired at when
from 900 to 400 yards distant. Two small
shells burst on one of the monsters. but
did not appear to injure Il. Lieut. Lagre-
selle tried to run them down, but they
we're TOO swift for the Avalanche. When
ever the animal he chased got into shallow
water it dived back, and thus vas
clearly seen. Each time it dived it blew
noslly. The. color was gray, with several
black fins, the head something like that
of a seal, and the hack covered with a saw
like ridge. The presence of these creatures
is revealed by their loud breathing. Lieut..
Lagresille thought once that he had Sc
cured a specimen. but the animal dived
and came up far astern of the Avalanche
The number of meetings reported Nith
these new denizens of the deep would tenG
70 show that the species is fairly Dienti-
ful in the seas where the Avalanche was
stationed.

cussiOn for Three HOurS.


Washington, May 11.-For more than
three hours this afternoon the Senate dis
cussed what is known as the railway ar
bitration bills-a measure designed to ad-
just by means of voluntary arbitration
differences that may arise between rail-
road officials and their employees.
Mr. Kyle of South Dakota in charge of
the bill, offered number of amendments,
which were agreed to.
One of amendments provides that

ployer from reducing the number of en-
pioyes II the eXigencies' of business re
quire such reduction
10 meet points raised by Mr. Allen and
Mr.. Turner, Mr.. Hoar offered an amend
ment providing that no injunction or other

cepted by Mr.. Kyle. The bill was not fin-
ished to-day.

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.
House Discusses the Bill Proposing
Direct Vote by the People.

House Discusses the Bill Proposing
Direct Vote by the People.
Washington, May 11-After refusing
again to consider the bill restricting i'm
migration the Ho Use took up and dis
cussed the House resolution to submit
to the states a proposition to amend the
constitution so as to provide for the cleo
ton of senators by direct vote.
The amendment proposed in the reso-
luton as reported to the House left it to
the discretion of the states to elect their
senator's by direct vote or through their
legislatures, but an amendment by Mr.
Underwood of Alabama, making selection
by popular vote mandatory, was adopted
and the resolution was then adopted.
Mr.. Hill of Connecticut insisted that a
two-thirds vote of the entire membership
of the House was necessary 10 the pass
age of the bill.
Messrs. Grow Lacey and Bailey oppos-
ed this view, and cited preeedents to show
that the two-thirds vote of the House
contemplated by the constitution was
two-thirds of quorum, since ''the House"
meant a body capable Of doing business,
and that involved no more than a quorum.
The speakers ruling sustained the con-
tentlon.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Loud called up
the postofice appropriation bill as passed
yesterday by the Senate, and upon his
motion the House refused to concur in
the Senate amendments and asked a con-
ference. Messrs. Loud, Smith of Illinois
and Swanson of Virginia, were named as
conferees for the House.
The House set apart May q for eulo-
gies upon the death of the late Senator
James George of Mississippi, and at
sos o'clock adjourned.
