Water Snake and Pcksrs Engage 10 q Deadly
Combat In a Maine Lake.

That mooted question of whether a
good healthy water snake can cope sue
cessfully in combat with a pickerei
Pannesseewasse, of which William
Gary and Kenneth Gurney were wit
nesses. The lake waters abound in
large sized pickerel; there Is no other
body Of water in Maine where the wa
ter snakes are so huge. They are HARM
less, but If forced to fight with a man
or fish can put up good scrap. Their
bite while not POISONOUS, is extremely
painful, and every one gives them a
wide berth. In hot days they crawl to
branches OF low bushes on the shore
OF the bogs and sun themselves in
contentrnent, says the New York Press.
Many of the reptiles will measure over
ten feet, and few of them have ever
been captured. If a person approach
os them while they are apparently
sleeping on the bushes and attempts
10 hit them with a stick or stone they
fall quickly into the water and escape
harm.
One day last summer when the wealth.
er was extremely warm. Gary and
Gurney were on the lake trawling for
salmon from canoe. The boat had
just passed the edge OF the bog where
the snakes have their Headquarters.
wnen there was splash in the wa
ter and churning that attracted at
tentfOn or the men I'm the boat. They
backed water with the oars and float
ed UP to see what was the trouble.
They were surprised 10 see n huge
black coil Of shining skin wrIthInp in
the water, and went closer to inyesti-
gate.
They found that n water snake near
ly eight feet long had n plckereI i'm its
grasp. The fish must have weighed i'm
the vicinity OF three pounds, and a fight
was on. The snake slowly uncoiled Its
body when the pickerel darted out and
quickly turned. making swift lunge
for the snake. The latter. however.
grabbed the fish by the head and held
him fast. In the course of three or
four minutes the snake again uncoilel

Under Customs Convention Orange Free
State Has Right TO Import Arms.
LETTER FROM PRESIDENT STEYN.
Il Declared Thai The Orange Fss SAFE Would
Take Up Arms Only When Attacked or to
Support Treaty Obligations.

Capetowp, Aug 29.-The Cape house
OF assembly is again debating the ques.
ton OF the transit OF arms intended for
the Transvaal. Evidently state OF ex-
treme tension exists, as every speech
made yesterday was received with al
most absolute silence in the chamber.
The Hon. William +. Schreiner, the
premier. personally appealed to his
followers TO refrain from answering the
criticism of the opposit; on. lest they
should drop words of ill-feeling.
The entire opposition rose TO support
the motion for adjournment made by
the Right Hon. Sir John Gordon -Sprigg.
the former premier. Sir John. who re-
peated the arguments he had used in
the previous debate. asked the premier
what action the Cape cabinet proposed
10 take In the matter. He said that
the recent speech OF the British sec
retary of state for the colonies. Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, at Birmingham,
England, had forced all to THE conclu-
sion that South Africa was on the brink
OF war unless the Transvaal met the
hiiNlSH III Ills DDlillbn the
Cape government ought to follow tho
example of Portugal at Delagoa Bay
and refuse to permit the transit ot
arms as long as the crisis lasted.
After Sir John Gordon-Sprig had
finished, a pause occurred. the house
waiting for the premier's reply. Finally
Mr.. Schreiner rose and declared that,
under the customs convention, the
Orange Free State was justified i'm i'm
porting arms through Cape Colony and
he did not intend to tear up thu con-
vention. knowing as he did that there
would be no war. ''In the event OF
war" he said. II would not lack the
true imperial spirit"
MIR. Schreiner then read letter from
President StIeyn of the Orange Free
State denying any intention on the part
OF that government TO take up arms in
any aggressive or offensive manner
against the British government or the
Cape Colony. Ii was the fixed policy Of
the Orange Free States President Steyn
continued, never 10 take up arms ex-
cept when attacked or in support of its
treaty obligations.
The letter created profound impress
sion, as clearly showing the purport of
the importation OF firearms. Several
members dwelt upon this phase, and
Mr.. Schreiner promised, in the case of
future consignments. to- consult the
governor OF Cape Colony, Sir Alfred
Miner which, he admitted. he had
not previously done. He also asserted |
that the Cape Colony would maintain |
in the event of war.

This seems 10 he very o1alrous year
for those seeking reelection 10 the Untiet
! stafes senate, and particularly among the
politicians Minnesota does itself sae
honor To return Cushman X DAVIS, but
/ be IL not an assute pcaitician-he - only
a statesman and a scholar. There seems
some probability. too. that Senator Bur-
rows viii be chosen again. because. OF The
eighty members who have signed the caii
for canras, Only two are In doubt The
change in the complexion OF many OF the
legislatures win prevent the return OF sew
ersl gentlemen. but in some other cases
the dominating parties in the states are
making notable contests against poiiti-
clans who had worked themselves into an
august legislative body which viii be the
better for their absence.
The center Of interest ie Pennsylvania.
where Matthew Quay Is once more TO make
eshe hardest fight OF his life He Is in
a worse position this time than he has ever
been. He IL not only opposed by power
ful faction in his own party. but is on
trial for criminal ofYense. He Is charged
wita having used his influence TO insist
upon the state treasurer placing public
funds with certain favored hanks, and re-
celving from them interes, which he ap-
propriatej 10 his own use. Men who are
not hide-hound partisans. and who have
some respect Tor the character OF the
United States senate. are reluctant 10 vote
for Quay while he. stands under such
charge. Public sentiment sustains them
ana they form a very powerful auxiliary
to the faction which Is organized under
rival bosses to down" Quay in their own
interests.
Should Quay be acquitted by the courts
his reelection would be almost certain.
but at present 1, locks as II only the fa.l-
ufe OF the anti-Quay forces to unite UPON
another candidate for senator could give
him another victory. Quay's friends nave
been claiming lis to i35 votes, but the first
trial CT strength resulted in giving him
only 100 which IS Is short Of enough
TO elect.
In Nevada, Siewar, seems unlikely to
secure reelection. Newlands threatened
at one time 10 De ias most tofn4uapts rival,
but neither feels very safe now. and IL Is
probable that both would help 10 give the
prize to a third rather than TO the other.
In New York there is reason TO hope that
the politician who at present so made
auateiy fills the seat once held by Conkiing
will be succeeded by man worthy OF the
state.
higher standard seems TO have been
set up this year by the people, and the
responsibility resting upon them has
aroused them TO the need OF choosing men
of superior attachments for the United
States senate. The shaking up that the
Republican party has had, among other
things, weakened the hold OF the profes-
slonaI politician who only sought the e.
fica In order to make il an opportunity
for constructing a permanent and exclu-
s.ve political machine Of which he should
he .as head.
