The Bull and the Butcher.

On Wednesday evening there ar
rived on the steamer Al-ki two of tie
friskiest steers that have thus far Wis
tied Wrangel. They We're of the sport
making variety: spotted and spunky.
They were safely landed and corralled
on the Mckinno wharf when one of
them, after having thoroughly viewed
the surrounding scenery. made an at
tempt to escape. and escape he did.
With rip and a snort and a double
lllnk in his tail he leaped over the fence
on the edge of the wharf while his
fore feet and nose We're pointed toward
the incoming tide. a heater plunge
never was made. The steer went way
down and let the water shut up over
him. Finally, for the want of air. the
steer came to the surface and swan
ashore. After landing safely on the
beach opposite the Wrangel Hardware
Co.'S store, the steer, which had been
dehorned, stood quietly taking in his
new surroundings long enough to give
some of the boys chance to throw a
moose around his neck. Then the fun
commenced. The line was fastened to
the elevated sidewalk and the steer
below was testing it's strength. Just
at this juncture the voice of the owner,
a local butcher was heard above the
laughter of the jcsting crowd.
"Och, du lieber gut, he is schoking,
Amt id. Kuvick, Willie NIT robe
''Put some salt on his tall" GIVE
him some gun powder" "Gct bel
lows and pump wind into him." were
suggested by the onlookers.
During this time the second steer
had escaped from the corral on the
wharf and came laundering down the
wharf, but was soon securely fastened
beside his choking mate.
"You dink vas porn yesterday, I'll
pillow you salt NIT de bellows on de

"Chloroform him." "Give him some

butcher made another attempt to get

Hobson Congratulated.

NEW YORK, June PA dispatch
to the Herald from Washington City
says:
Secretary Long has sent to Assistant
Naval Constructor T.. Z. Hohson. in
care of the Commanders in-chief of the
North Atlantic squadron, an inspiring
letter commenting him for the extra
ordinary heroism he displayed in sink
ing the collier Mcrrilnac in the harbor
of Santiago de Cuba.
The letter was written shortly after
the Secretary had recommended to the
President that Mr.. Hobson be ad-
vanced ten numbers in his rank, buta
the recommendation was not carried
out for the reason that Representative
Pearson, the uncle of the Young hero,
requested that action he delayed until
Mr.. Hobson could be communicated
with. a bill is now pending in Con-
gress for the transfer of Mr. Hobson to
the line. with the rank of Lieutenant
Commander.
The Secretary letter is dated June
20 and begins:
Sir: The Department has been
waiting for your exchange before adj
dressing a letter of commendation to
you in reference to your success in de-
siSnedly sinking the United States
steamer Merrimac in the narrow en-
trance of the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba in the early morning of June 3,
1898. but as the exchange hoped for
has been delayed, the Department will
not wait for the action to take place.
The Secretary then quotes Rear Ad-
miral Sampson letter describing and
praising Mr.. Hobson's achievement,
and continues:
ut was exceedingly gratifying to the
Department to receive from the Com
mander-in-C hief of the North Atlantic
station such a letter. calling special
attention to your extraordinary hero
ism on the occasion referred to. Readi-
ness for emergency. fertility of resource
and such extraordinary heroism as you
displayed in taking the Merrimac into
the entrance of the halbor of Santiago
de Cuba. under the most railing fire
from the shore batteries of the enemy,
at the ri.k of yourself and Your brave
associates in this duty. are quaiitica-
tions most enviablc for any naval Of
ticer to possess your action even call
ing from the Spanish Admiral. in a
most signal manner. an expression
highly commendabe of your brave act.
The Department takes this occasion
to heartily congratulate you upon Your
most distinguished conduct and avails
itself of the opportunity to inform you
that it has taken steps to give you
some professional reward as reeom-
mended by the Commander-in-chief,
which the department hopes will be
gratifying to YOU and at the same time
assures you that your gallant act not
only reflects additional lustre upon the
traditional glories of the navy, but that
you are held in grateful remembrance
by your fellow countrymen and appre-
ciated by the whole civilized world"
This letter was personally signed
by Secretary Long. 1t will be held by
Admiral Sampson until an opportunity
is found to convey it to the young Of
ticer.

Corpses Found on Shelter Island

a Nahk Indian named John has re-
ported at Juneau that he saw the bod
les of three men on the beach at Shell
ter Island. He said they were badly
decomposed, and that he did not touch
them. 1t is believed that they are the
remains of the victims of the Clara
Nevada disaster early in the year.
An investing party will probably be
sent out, as no thorough search for the
bodies has yet been made.
Shelter Island is the probable shore
on which the sea would cast up their
dead from the wrecked steamer.
