the House of Commons this evening as
to whether any information mad been re-
ceived from the seat of war. said:
our information points to the fact that

Amblyopsis is found in pools In the cave

to be found in the rifles connecting the

through the water like white aquatic
ghosts" In the aquarium they lie at the
bottom or at various depths in the water,
their axes making various angles with the
horizontal their pectorals folded 10 their
sides When swimming slowly It is chiefly
by the use of the pectorals. The strokes
of the pectoral are laziy given, and the

delivered The fishes frequently roll
slightly from side TO side at the exhaus-

the sides, and their locomotion is then
similar TO that of a salamander-by the
motion of the tail They readily adjust
themselves TO different depths, and are

Bear with us, Great Captain, If our pride
Show equal measures with our grefs
excess
In greeting you in this your helpless
ness,
To countermand our vanity or hide
Your stern displeasure that we thus had
tried
To praise you, knowing praise was your
distress;
But this homecoming. swells our hearts
no less
Because for love of home you proudly
Lo, then, the cable, fathoms meath the
keel
That shapes your course, is eloquent of
you;
The old Flag, too. at half-mast over
head oa a.u
We doubt not that its gHle-kissed ripples
A prouder sense of red and white and
blue,
The stars-Ah, God! Were they inter
preted
In strange lands were your latest honors
won
In strange wilds, with strange dangers
all beset; t4t
With rain, like tears, the face of day was
wet,
AS rang the 6mbushed foeman's fateful
gun.
And, as you felt your final duty done,
We feel that glory thrills your spirit yet,
When at the front. in swiftest death, you
The patriots doom and best reward in
one.
And SO the tumut of that island war;
At last, for you, is stilled forevermore-
It's scenes of blood blend white as ocean
foam
on your rapt vision as you sight afar
The sails of peace! And from that alien
shore
The proud ship bears you on your voyage
home.
Or rough or smooth the wave, or lowering
Or starlit sky-you hold. by native
right.
Your high tranquillty-the silent might
OF the true hero-so you\ed the way
To victory through stormiest battle-fray
Because your followers, high above the
fight,
Heard your souls lightest whisper bid
them smie
For God and man and space to knee and
pray.
And thus you cross the sea into your own
Beloved land, conveyed with honors meet
Saluted as your homes first heritage
Nor salutation from your state alone
But all the States, gathered in mighty
fleet
Dip colors as you move to anchorage

CHIEF REED PROTESTS.
SAYS A $500 BOND is ENTIRELY TOO
SMALL TO HOLD A. II. CLARK.
Fails TO See Why Prosecuting At
torney McElroy Agreed TO Re-
lease Alleged Bunko Man on Such
Bail-Justice Austin Said $1,000.

Chief of Police Reed made a speech in
Justice Austin's court yesterday afternoon,
protesting against the proposed reiease or
A. b. Clark who is accused of CompliciN
in the series of alleged tricks by which j.
II. Erickson. a wealthy young man, was
relieved of s.. 200. on 500 bonds.
The original bond was fixed at $3.50 by
Justice Austin when he issued the COM
PLANT, which names the specific amount Of
the alleged theft as 81 900 The justice took
a trip to Eastern Washington and lid not
return until yesterday afternoon. He YVES
unaware that the bunko situation was he
coming very strained and did not realize
that any unusual interest attached 10 the
case of Clark. who. the police say, is not
close enough to the powers that be Of the
bunko syndicate to demand and secure his
release.
Clark was taken into court yesterday af-
ternoon upon an agreement with PTosecut-
ing Attorney McElroy, according to the
statement of Attorney Gay. that he should
be released on $500 bonds. Chief Of Police
Reed was present and he immad'a-ely
came forward with the statement that he
desired IL understood distinctly that he OPP
posed any such action. Clark was ac-
cused of stealing 1000, he said, end he
did not understand why the bond should he
fixed at such a small amount lie desired
1t to he at least $500.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Sutton,
who was present in court, called Mr. Nc
Elroy up by telephone and had a talk with
him about the matter. He reported that
Mr.. McElroy understood Clark was ac-
cused of stealing but 5000 which is the
amount Erickson says Clark borrowed
from him to- play faro. When the matter
was explained he told Mr. Fulton ne would
accept $1,000 bonds. Justice Austin settled
the matter by fixing the amount a $,5.n
Attorney Gay said that Clark would not
run away II he were released on his per-
sonal recognizance. He was interested IN

Preparations to Welcome Dele

Entertain Them En- Route.

The scream of the eagle will be heard
on the streets of Seattle long before the
glorious Fourth of July this year. The
patriotic bipeds, however, will be of the
unfeathered variety and clothed in pur-
pie and fine linen. Their visit to Seattle
will be en- route to the second grand
aerie of the Fraternal order of Eagles,
which is to be held May % at Vancouver.
B. C. Already the advance guards of the
annual flight are on their way to this
city, and preparations are being made
by Seattle members of the fraternity to
give the sojourning delegates BETTING
welcome to the home aerie of the order.
Seattle has the honor of being the
birthplace of what the members Of the
order, for the lack of a better word, have
agreed to term Eagleism' A little more
than two years ago, on February s, 1885,
the F'raternal order of Eagles had its
inspection at this city. Since that time
in spite of the gibes of the scorn.ul and
the opposition of many of the more
firmly established fraternit.es, it has
waxed in strength and popularity until
now 1t numbers more than 5000 MEM
bers, and has sixty-three aeries scattered
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
Texas to the Canadian boundary.
1t has even assumed an international
character, and has numerous aeries in the
Dominion itself including a thriving one
at Dawson.
The enthusiastic Eagles of Seattle cite
as the most convincing proof of the
growth and popularity of their order
that it has increased in membership
thirteen fold since the first grand aerie
was held at this city on May of last
year At that time-a season of festiv-
