WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, j une 5, 1859

/ " AshlNdi0N, uuc u lcJH.
Secretary Alger left Washington to be
absent the greater part Of this month,
just after the Cabinet decided not to call
for volunteers. Ther,. were two reasons
for this decision. The first and most
| Important, Was that it would lie exceed
inely dangerous to the health OF the
islands until the rainy season is over,
which will not be until about September
LIST, and Geaeral Otis rcnld make no
good use OF them during that season,
even if they were there. The other
reason WAS report received from rresi-
dent Schurman of the Philippine Com
mission, expressing the opinion that the
Filipinos would surrender before the
close of the rainy season. Military men
are to be called for, before the revolt is
put down. Meanwhile, regnlars are TO
be sent to take the place Of the return
ing volunteers and General Otis las
been given authority to enlist as many
natives as he sees fit.
Gen. Wood, the commander oi the
Santiago district, seems to have found
the Cuban problem easy to solve. In Il
report to the war department, alter tell
ing OF the qniet and orderliness of the
entire district over which he has Just
travelled, he said: 'sThe whole problem
today in Cuba is work. Put the lille

Practice and Theory.

The really intelligent and practical
miner seldom fools himself, though lie
may purposely deceive somebody else
occasionally. When he sees a iiine he
compares it with some other mine that
he hae known which has been either
COOL or bad, and forms his opinion ac-
cordingly, being more often correct in
his conclusions that the scientific ex-
pert, who must find thugs rs the book 9
say they sho,itd4be sfie has emphatcally
exploded the theory that gold quartz
veins does not exist at considerable
depth, which theory has been main
tanned by prominent geologists in oppo-
sition to practical demonstration. Scien-
lists have frequently been compelled 10
take back seat by the man who wields
the pick and shovel.
Some years ago. when reports of old
discoveries were received troin Africa,
the British government sent party OF
SCIENTISTS to The Rand 10 explore the
country. They found nothing, and
proved that their houses were fodnd by
pros pectors to contain gold enough to
pay, so they pulled down the houses
and ground the material with consider
able profit, much to the disgust Of the
experts, who couldn't realize a good
thing even when they leaned up against
it. Science and practice form a desira-
BILE combination, but the fortper alone
finds many stnalblipg blocks which the
practical man quite frequently sur;
mounts in spite Of contrary theories.--

POOLING THE SHARKS
Feeding the Wolves of the Ocean
Dumplings That Made Them
Throw Fits.

This being the season of fish yarns
John Richie, who, says the Chicago
TimesHerald, has for years conducted
most of the shorthand work at national
conventions, sprung this story at the
Press club. 1t took the biscuit, so to
speak:
about the funniest thing l saw" he
said, was while on a vessel down off
Hatteras inlet or some point near there.
One day we ran into about forty thou
sand million sharks. There was lot of
them, and l wondered if they were all
there for me. l do think sharks give
everybody a sort of creepy feeling. We
had some fun with them. There was
passenger on board who had had some
experience with the beasts before. He
went to the cook and got him to make
a lot of dumplings. He came on deck
with three or four dozen of them and be-
gan tossing them to the sharks. They
snapped them down eagerly. Now you
must bear in mind that these dough
balls in coming from the cook had time
to cool on the outside, so that as they
slipped down the sharks throat he did
not notice anything out of the way. But
the inside of the ball was like fiery
furnace, and in a minute after it had
been swallowed the heat began to act.
l don't believe there is anything hotter
than hot dough, and if not exposed to

IDAHO MINE TROUBLE
Governor Steunenberg's Reply
to Secretary Root.
STATE ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY
The State Is Responsible For the En-
tire Management of Affairs In
ShoshOne County Since Mar
tiaI Law Was Proclaimed.


COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 24.-Chairman
Dick of the Republican state committee
has received copy of letter written by
Governor Steunenberg of Idaho under date
of Oct 10 to Secretary of War Root, in
which the governor assumes for the state
full responsibility for all that has been
done in Shoshone county in connection
with the Occur d'Alene mining troubles
The letter was written voluntarily, it is
said, by the governor, on account of the
criticism which has been made of the
federal government. Governor Steunen.
berg says:
While 1T is not necessary to inform
you of the relative positions of the state
of Idaho and the general government in
this matter, as the status is clearly de-
fined by statute, still it may be proper,
for purposes of general information, to
add that the state of Idaho is RESPONSE
Bile for all that has been done in Sho-
shone county relative to the call for
troops, the arrest, detention and care of
prisoners, the regulations under which
the mines can and have been operated
from the time of the instruction up
to the present time, and the regulations
of all matters concerning the employ
ment of men in these mines, all of the
above matters having been under the i'm
mediate supervision, control and direc
ton of the officers and representatives
of the state of Idaho and not in any way
of the federal troops. l further state
that the state of Idaho assumes and
acknowledges all responsibility for the
manner in which the affairs are conduct
ed in the Occur d AleneS so long as mar
tial law, as proclaimed, prevails.
sit should be stated here, however,
that these men have not been held under
or by reason of indictments upon the part
of the state, but because they were men
whom we could not permit to be at large
under the present condition of affairs in
that section. The men who were held
under indictments found by the state
grand jury and whom we desired to try
escaped prison few days before the reg
ular term of the court, at which time all
preparations had been made to try
them"
