ROUGH ON THE ANIMALS.

Transport Victoria Returns to Port After
Worry rtouch Experience.
SEATTLE, Wash; .Nnv. 29.-With a
cargo of dying ht and mules and
IS empty stalls the - mted States trans
port Victoria returned to port, having
been forced by an urprecedente stress
of weather off Cape F'attery to turn
back from her voyage , the Philip

carried by the Victoria, taken IN board
Nov. %, 55 were literally pounded to
death against the sides of their stalls
in the storm, and the remaining ami
mails are so badly bruised that tho off,
cials of the vessel believe that many
cannot be saved.
Under the circumstances, it was
deemed necessary, after consultation
between the captain and his officers, to
return to Seattle.
Purser Lockwood said that during sc
voyages he has made across the Pacific
he has never seen such stress Of weather
as was encountered by the Victoria.
The furthest point reached was 2OO
miles west Of the cape. While the
storm was at its height oil bags were
entirely enptied and everything done
to ease the motion Of the ship. Aside
from the loss of animals no other dam
age was done, the Victoria behaving
sDlendidly.

The Wallace Circus which comes to

of the highest class and clean IN every

of legitimate worth in the circus bust
ness. 1t is in charge of men who
aspire to elevate the tone and purify
the atmosphere Of tho calling, and we
believe tine thousands who have at
tended the performances during the
past seasons will certify they have sue
ceeded. Not only is the performance
up to the highest professional and
artistic standard, the menagerie large
and varied, and the trained animals of
the best, but there is not in connection
with the Wallace show single one Of
those discreditable and demoralizing
features which have done so much to
give the circus bad name, and to
discourage the true friends of that
otherwise wholesome form of amuse-
ment. The managers of the Wallace
show keep all their promises, advertise
nothing they do not expect to give,
and carefully diVest their performances
Of anything and everything calculated
to offend the most fastidious. We are
sure that the verdict of Wilmington
will be most favorable.

is ready and willing to comply with all
of the requirements of the department
and its charter. Reference was made
to the events Of two years ago, when,
at the suggestion of the department,
