END COME TO-DAY
1T IS THOUGHT THE GENERAL AS
sEMBLY WILL ADJOURN.
MEMBERS ARE LEAVING RAPIDLY.
The Exodus Of the Past Three Days
COntinued-The Expense Of Bailey
Meeting Met by Subscription-rhe
Bills Tint Have Become Laws.

1t Is probable that the General As
sembly will adjourn to-day Governor
Tyler put in about as busy a day as n
man well could in examining and signing
bills yesterday, and he said last night
he thought he would finish this work by
noon to-day. Judge Gooch, the enrolling
clerk, and his assistants, worked until
late last night preparing bills for the
Governor, and his Excellency will not
be delayed through failure to receive acts
in time to decide upon by the time the
two bodies convene to-day.
IS HOLDING SEVERAL.
The Governor is holding several as to
which there is doubt Of his approving,
and these will probably be among sthe
last to receive his consideration. These
are chiefly bills of incorporation, whose
powers appear 10 be rather broad.
1t is not improbable that he will re-
fuse to approve the bin granting a dis
pensary liquor law to the town of Front
Royal 1t Is understood that he regards
it at least as a very radical innovation,
and friends Of the measure fear he will
not sign II.
The exodus OF members, which began
Tuesday and increased Wednesday. was
kept up yesterday. and when the AS
sembly convenes to-day the attendance
will be exceedingly slim. There is a
very noticeable absence of lawmakers
from the hotel Hobbies. and where the
genial Lawmakers have held sway for
the past three months, the equally al
fable commercial traveller now cracks
his jokes and lifts his voice In laughter
without competition.

A number OF Senators and Delegates
ing Of several days. Colonel Button
the Clerk OF the Senate. will
also be OF the party, but he will re-
turn soon and wind up the business Of the
office, which will occupy several weeks.
Colonel Bigger went out TO his home
at Ashland yesterday afternoon. but will
be at his post to-day. Yesterday was
the ColonePs -tiefh birthday, a fact
which many OF his friends remembered.
and they crowded into his Office to shake
hands and wish that the number OF his
days may be doubled. He and his stan
were entertained at an elegant luncheon
at the Jefferson yesterday by Hon. Joseph
Lawless, Secretary of the Common
wealth.

to have the State entertain Mr.. Bailey.

lures that one sees in such numbers on
Malabar hill belong to two species,
which are easy enough to distinguish
when once ones attention has been
turned to the difference between them.
The commOner of the two the white
backed or Bengal vulture (Gyps banga-
lensis) is a smoky black bird, with
band of white extending the whole
length Of the wings on the underside
This band is broken by the dark body
and that serves to distinguish the bird
at glance.
The other species is the long billed
vulture (Gyps pallescens) Of Barnes
Jerdon confounded it with another spe.
cies. Its general color is brown, darker
or lighter according to age. sometimes
almost Witty brown; but, however
white the underparts may be, body and
wings are alike. The two species are
about the same size and larger than one
would suspect who has only seen them
at a distance. A good specimen will
measure over seven feet from tip to tip
of the wings
There is one curious difference in
their habits. The long billed vulture
breeds always on high cliffs, while is
Bengal brother is content 60 build its
nest on any tree big enough to bear the
weight of such a ponderous edifice. j
have seen single mango tree groaning
under the weight Of two or three nests
on the other side of the Darbor. Each
nest contains one egg, generally white
but sometimes blotched with brown
Once fairly in the air, no bird surpasses
the majesty of its fight The question
has often been hotly discussed whether
birds can sail without tapping their
wings
The difficulty originated, Of course,
with somebody Of thai unfortunate class
who must reason about question Of
fact instead of looking He demonstrate
ed that such feat was impossible. The
yultures kept on doing ii all the same,

, Gorged Himself.
If the city of Bombay had tutelary
bird, there is no manner of doubt what
bird that should be. / do not know,
Iays writer in The Times of India,
why the ancient Egyptian defied the
ibis, but if Bombay bore the proud fig
ure of vuiture rampant ON her shield
everybody would know why OF all the
unsalaried public servants who have
identified themselves with this city and
devoted their energies to its welfare no
other can take a place beside the vul
ture. Unfortunately the vulture has
never lent itself TO the spirit of her
aldry. The eagle has, strangely enough,
though the difference between the two
has never been very well marked in the
popular mind. The translators Of our
Bible had no notion of it.
Modern natural history has Olsen
tangled the two names and assigned
them 70 two very different families of
birds, the distinction between which in
its essence is just this-that while the
eagle kills its prey the less impatient
vulture waits decently till its time
comes TO die. Popular sentiment persists
in regarding the former as the more
noble, but there can be no question
which is the more useful
1t is not easy indeed to realize to one
self the extent ana benefcence of the
work carried on throughout the length
and breadth of India from years end to
years end by the mighty race Of vul-
lures. The writer continues: The yul-

and any one may watch them. For
hours together they will sail in circles,
or rather in spirals, without the slight
est motion of their wings beyond trim
ming them TO the wind like the sails of
boat OF course there must be a wind.
There are two other kinds of vultuIes
which may occasionally be seen in Bonn
bay. One is the king vulture (Otogyps
calvus), a royal bird, not indeed larger
than the others, but Of nobler aspect and
prouder character. 1t appears singly or
with its mate and will not consort with
the herd. When it comes to carcass,
the others have to stand by until it has
dined. There is no difficulty in recog-
niZing this species by its deep black col
or, relieved only by two pure white
patches on its thighs and by the blood
red tint of its bare head and neck Our
fourth vulture is the foul bird known as
Pharaoh's chicken, as we'll as by other
less reputable names. Its title in scence
is Neophron ginginianus-
It is one of the commonest birds

plains of the Deccan, but seldom visits

ger than a kite, with only the quill
feathers of the wing black. Its bill is
long and thin, its naked face yellow and
its tail wedge shaped. Its neck is not
bare. but clothed with long, rusty white
feathers, pointing backward. 1t does
not stand upright. like the true vultures.

walks like a recruit. By these signs
you may know Pharaoh's chicken. 1t

This brief report from Admiral
sampson declaring the success of the
eApedltlon to Nipe is really more i'm
poItant IMAM appears on the surface.
The Bay Of Nipe lies on the northeast
coast OF Cuba, almost directly across
the island from Santiago. 1t is pro
posed to establish base there which
will save at least two DAYS time in
getting supplies into Cuba as com
pared with the Santiago route. 1t will
also form good point Of operations
against Holguin, not far distant, and
IL II should develop unfortunately that
a restraining hand must be laid upon
the Cubans themselves, Nipe in con-
nection with Santiago, would be an
effective means of doing this. The
war department has not yet been in
formed that Gen. Skaters Cuban al
lies have quit the American lines for
the reasons sent out in printed let
ter by Gen. Garcia, but it is scarcely
doubted that such is the case, for the
friction has been growing more pro-
nounced every day since the fall of
Santiago, and it is feared that sew
erance of relations cannot longer be
avoided. That the Cuban junta is
still hopeful of avoiding such meas
ure is evidenced by the confidence
shown by Senior Quesada in an AMIGA
bic settlement.

has been cut, but the prospects of all
small grain are very fine. Barley has

Balaton, Minn.-Wheat, oats, barley,
flax and corn have the best stand that
this section has had for years, and with
no drawbacks wheat will go from fif-
