sHORT-LIYED SALMON.

criDt

washington Special to Boston Trans
cript.l
Some discussion has arisen over re-
cent publication concerning the habits
or salmon, which are described as en-
tering a river at breeding time, Wig
orous and brilliant-scaled, and, after a
short time spent in fresh water, being
transformed into mere wrecks of their
former selves" Having built their nests
and laid their eggs" according to this
authority, they perish, not one return
ing 20 salt water out of all the myriads
that have assembled the stream
This appears to be one of those gen
eralization to which unscientific writers
are prone when dealing with Scientih
subjects 1t is indeed a theory very
widely cherished among fish culturistS
that salmon die soon after breeding.
But to state that not one returns to salt
water is hazardous. Well authentl-
Gated cases of the return of salmon after
spawning may be hard to find, but it
would not do to say that they were IN
known. One high authority connected
with the United States fish commission
ventures the assertion that possibly as
many as 50 per cent perish, while the
fate of the rest is uncertain. To attrib-
ute the change to their entrance into
fresh water is also to tread on uncertain
ground. It might be a safe assumption,
if the journey in fresh water were al
ways a long and hard one. The fish,
when found on their way to the spawn
ing ground, are often covered with
sores as if they had been striking
against rocks and other sharp objects,
and for good While it was supposed
that the tortuous winding of the streams
accounted for this, as the fish were
obliged to escape here and there against
the sides and bottom. But one observer
in Alaska tells of finding the same phe-
nomena in a straight stream, wide
enough for the fish to push up it with
out damage, and only half a mile from
its mouth. In such a place neither tor
tuous channel nor long sojourn in fresh
water could account for the sores. Hence
the belief among fish experts leans
now to the notion that a certain change
comes over the general physical condi-
ton of the fish at the spawning season,
and that they become so weak and tired
that few survive The fish commission,
with all it's facilities for studying such
subjects, has never been able by tag
ging or otherwise, to settle this salmon
question finally.

DEWEY FOR PEACE
Quoted as Saying War In the
Philippines Should Cease.

New York, Aug. 21-A dispatch to
the World from London gives at some
length the London Daily News report
ed interview with Admiral Dewey at
Naples. According to the correspond
ent Admiral Dewey began by saying
that he regarded Cavtte as the battle
which decisively turned the fortunes of
war in favor OF the Americans. He ad-
ded:
The Spanish ships were fought well
all the same.''
The correspondence asked him if the
Philippines were likely to be pacif1ed
soon.
The admiral replied: st have the
question of the Philippines more at
heart than any other American because
know the Filipinos intimately and
they know I am their friend. The re-
cent instruction is the fruit of the an
archy which has so long reigned in the
islands but the insurgents will have to
submit themselves to the law after be-
ing accustomed to no law at ALL
Il believe and affirm, nevertheless,
that the Philippine question will be
very shortly solved.
1.-THE F'ilipinos are capable of govern
ing themselves; they have all qualifca-
tions for it. 1t is a question of time
but the only way to settle the insured
ton and assure prosperity to the archi-
peIago is to concede self government
to the inhabitants. That would be a
solution of many questions and would
satisfy all, especially the F'ilipinos who
believe themselves worthy of it and are
so.
ct have never been in favor of vio-
Ience toward the Filipinos. The islands
are at this moment blockaded by a
fleet and war reigns in the interior. This
abnormal state of things should cease.
Il should like to see autonomy first
conceded, and then annexation might
be talked about. This is my opinion.
ct should like violence at once put
stop to.
According to my view, the conces-
sion of government ought to be the
most just and most logical solution.
The admiral spoke with an air of
frank conviction.

DEEP SEA BATTLE.

LFrom the San Francisco Call
Never before has it fell to my lot to
witness the terrible monster we en-
countered on the last passage from
San Francisco toward Nanaimo in the
bark Willscott OF Honolulu, says Capt.
Thomas Peabody of the bark Will
scott.
We knew that the octopus grew to an
immense size, as Banks and SOlander,
who accompanied Capt Cook in his
first voyage around the world, found
the dead carcass of one floating on the
water to the westward of Cape Horn.
It was supposed to be 20 by 80 feet,
the body only; the tentacles were
hanging under water. 1t was sur
rounded by nlyriads of birds, which
were feeding greedily on its remains.
Pliny also mentions a similar mon
ster having eight arms 80 feet long and
a corresponding girth; and many other
writer's, too numerous to mention have
certified to its actual existence.
But I did not believe that anything
similar to the terrible devil fish, de-
scribed by Victor Hugo was really in
existence until had ocular demonstra-
ton of the fact.
I will quote our log book in relation
to the monster we saw: Saturday, May
Is, latitude 80 north, longitude 136:40
west. Light breeze from north by east;
dry, cloudy weather; smooth sea, eX-
cept for the usual slight unaulatlng
swell from the northwest. Ship under
all sail, braced sharp upon the star
board tack. going five knots per hour,
but scarcely making ripple on the
water.
At 2:sO p. m. my attention was called
by the Quartermaster, Frank Bastast
of San Diego, Cal, to terrible commo-
tion in the water about three points
forward of the lee beam. Our first
thought was that it must be breakers
in an uncharted reel, but while we were
watching the breaking of the water
ceased. Then we could distinctly see
If oh ont q
face, one much larger than the other.
We at once got our telescope to bear on
them and discovered the smaller OF the
two was very large Sunf1Sh, cur
iousIy shaped fish-aII head and no
bOdy-having no tail, but an upper
and lower fin, with which it propels it
self about in a very lazy fashion 1t
appeared to be fully u feet in diane
ter, and judging from smaller ones we
have caught must have weighed 5000
pounds. 1t appeared to be endeavoring
10 keep face on to its adversary, which
turned out to be a huge octopus, the
length of whose body was certainly 40
feet and the breadth about 25 feet, with
eight tentacles.
ter to keep the ship away four points
SO as to approach the objects more
closely, and to our delight and surprise
they remained stationary, regarding
one another curiously for fully five
minutes, by which time we had ad-
vanced sufficiently close to make an &C
curate examination
Its eyes We're large,of a greenish tint,
and somewhat prOtruding; its mouth,
however, was not so very large. and it
appeared to be shaped like a parrot s
bill; its tentacles were tapering and,
like it's body, of a greyish color, cover
ed with spots. 1t appeared to possess
the chameleOn-like power of changing
the color of these spots in a most extra
ordinary manner as fast as the eve
could detect the changes, no doubt
indicating the high state of excitement
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1899-08-21

under which the creature was Iaboring
at the time.
Suddenly the octopus discharged a
the eyes of the sunfish, and then rush
ing forward with the rapidity of an ar
row, it encircled its prey with the long
tentacles, and in another moment the
victor and VanQuished had disappeared
below the surface.
In a, few moments more we had sail
ed right over the scene and found the
water was cOlored almost black for a
space of fully 200 feet in diameter, and
iodine rising from the water; our patent
log line of snow white cotton, which
was towing aStern, was cOlOred al
most black, and it has not yet assumed
its white freshness, although it has
tOWed in the water fully 800 miles
since the above episode.
About twenty minutes after we had
passed over this spot we saw the huge
creature again on the surface enjoying
rolling the body Of the unfortunate
sunf1sh over and over and biting off
large mOuthfuls with its crueI-lOoking
beak.
I knew before that these huge octo-
pods and their relatives, the decapOds,
were not altogether mythical, as they
have at the United State National
Museum in Washington a papier
mache cast of one of the latter, which
was found stranded on the north shore
of Trinity bay, Newfoundland, on the
length of this specimen, including ten
tacIes, was only sixty feet, SO it is
quite safe to infer that it had not be-
come Of age when it was wrecked.

The Famous
Food DeliCacy,
Grape=Nuts.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Searching for some palatable, easily
prepared dish for breakfast, it is like
an inspiration to come across Grape
Nuts.
No cooking is needed. The food can
be served instanter with a little cream
or milk and the taste is that of the del
icate crisp sweet of grape sugar. to be
seen glistening on the small granules.
This grape sugar is produced from
the starchy parts of the grains and is
crystalized and deposited naturally
during the process of manufacture.
The taste of Grape-Nuts is most cap
ttvating. Don't let it lead you to eat
ing more than or teaspoonsful.
The food is condensed and great vol
ume is not required.

LOSS. OF SPEECH.
General Butterfeld, of the Dewey Re
ception Committee Stricken.

New York, Aug. 21-Word came last
night through kilograms to the Belle
Vue hospital that General ButterfieId,
chairman of the Dewey reception COM
mittee, had been stricken with aphasia
at his summer home, Cold Spring, on
the Hudson.
Four or five kilograms to Bellevue in
quired for Dr.JameS, an expert in nerV-
GUS diseases and they requested that
the doctor be sent to Cold Springs at
once. General Butterfield is being
treated there. 1t was learned also that
other kilograms had been sent to this
city during the day in an effort to
reach other specialists in nervous dis
eases.
Members of the Dewey executive
committee learned early in the day
that General Butterfield was i'll, but
they were informed that he expected to
be able to go with them to Washington
today.
Aphasia is the loss of speech or inter-
ference with speech as a result of an
affection of the brain.

San Francisco, Aug. 21.-A special
from Winslow, Ariz., says: Two hun

exterminate all the whites in that sec
ton. They were paid off on the 18th
and proceeded to gamble and drink
heavily. A gambler named c. H. Ian
dredth after a quarrel with some of
them assaulted one, shooting and stab

a Famous Cd Boat Race.

(ETom the Memphis Scimitar.)
One of the incidents of the old time
steamers on the Mississippi river, and one
which all river men remember, was the
race between the two beautiful side-wheel
steamers, the Natchez and Robert E.
It was in July, 1870 that the Lee back
ed away from her mornings at the New
Orleans Ievee and showed her nose against
the muddy current of the great river.
While the rOusterS were still busy swing
ing the gang-plank into its proper place
the steamer Natchez rounded to and
headed up stream also.
Every man on board the two steamers,
from master to rOustabOut, knew what
the simultaneous departure from the New
Orleans levee meant. 1t meant the be-
one which would establish true record

were rivals in the Vicksburg and New Or
leans trade, and finally the rivalry, which
tween rOusta bouts as to which boat was
the faster reached headquarters, and the
owners began to boast of their boats, each
declaring his the fastest and best. Finally
the race was decided on.
The boats were the largest and fastest
when they Started up stream together the
New Orleans to St Louis, and soon every
discussion as to which boat was the bet
ter, and as to which would win. Feople
who lived near the river estimated the
time necessary for the boats to reach their
towns, and they were on the banks to see
them. 1t can almost be said that the
two racers passed between two files OF
sightseers during the entire trip
In Memphis the interest was at fever
heat, for both boats had admirers here,
and the levee rarely saw such crowd as
there was that summer evening when the
two steamers passed. Huge bonhres had
been prepared to celebrate the coming.
The boats passed here about S o'clock,
and just before the Lee showed below the
city laughable incident occurred The
steamer Thompson Dean was coming up
the river ahead of the racers, and, when

FIGHT OF THE BUTCHERS.
Retail Dealers of New York Cutting
Loose From the Wholesalers.

New York, Aug. 21.-At a meeting of
the executive board of the Greater New
York Retail Butchers association a
committee was appointed to obtain a
location for a slaughter house and
packing house, where the butchers of
New York can handle their own beef
without dealing with the wholesalers,
from whom they now obtain their sup
plies. Buyers will be sent to points in
the west to buy cattle to be shipped to
New York for slaughter. 1t is intended
to form a cooperative association to
conduct the new venture and to raise
$1,000 to begin with.

is MILES GOING?
Rumored and Denied at Washington
That He Is to Supersede Otis

Washington. Aug. 21.-Major General
Nelson A. Miles, commanding general
of the army, is going to the Philip
pines. He will start the latter part Of
October. He will not take command
of the forces in the field. nor will he
supersede General Otis. He will, how
ever, act in the capacity of general of
the army and viii have a supervision
over field operations. He will direct
the assignment of the different regi-
ments and participate in mapping out
plans of campaigns.
He will reach the Philippines about
the close of the rainy season and may
remain until peace is restored.
Washington, Aug. 21.-The statement
which appeared in this mornings pa
perS that Miles was to start in October
for Manila gave Offense to the inner
administration circles. It was expedi-
tiously given out from a source of ''un-
questionable reliability that Secretary
Root has fully determined to make no
change in commanders for the Philip
pines campaign. He has decided, it is
said, to leave General Otis in charge.
He has reached this conclusion, not be-
cause he is satisfied with the conduct
of affairs. He is simply actuated by
the desire to try MIN thoroughly.
On the other hand, it is said upon
quite reliable authority that Gen. Miles
has ordered a tropical outfit, including
new uniforms, etc, and the fact that
he is going is pleasing to the new sec
rotary of war; although Mr.. Root did
not suggest it to Gen. Miles.
