Fish Killed by Lightning.
From tbe INDIANAPOLIS News1

IFTOM LAlt IlUIdNdVUIiS NeWs.
The Pennsylvania Fish Commission had heard
tales that the brown trout. with which some OF
the streams Of the State were stocked were par.
ticularly susceptible to destruction from light.
ming, SO they began an investigation and they
now announce that the stories are true. 1t is
the habit of the brown trout to swim close TO
the bottom of the stream il frequents and though
he is not literally struck by lightning, the elec-
tricity is conducted to the bottom OF the streams
which have rocks containing a considerable
amount Of iron in them, and so reaches and kills
the trout. while il does not affect the fish that
swim higher in the water.

had much unpublished vogue last summer.
Soon after he decided to leave the Cabinet.

through the Commissary Department dur
ing the Spanish war and also copies OF va
rious contracts made through the Quarter

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
The Beveridge ResoIution.-Behind

The Beveridge ResoIution.-Behnd
the Philippine resolution introduced by
Senator Beveridge there is an interesting
story being told in whispers around the
Senate which. 1t is claimed. illustrates the
methods of the ambitious young Hoosier
statesman. 1t is said that on Wednesday
he sought Senator Davis, the Chairman of
the Committee on Foreign Relations, and
submitted to him the original draft of the
resolution. which consisted only of two
lines. and said merely this: Resolved,
that the Philippine Islands are a part of
the territory OF the United States" AS
the story goes, all that Senator Davis
said when the Indianan had finished read
ing the resolution was a sort of an ejacu-
latory, "Well?" Whereupon Senator Bev
eridge asked: What do you think Of it?''
Senator Davis. still apparently puzzled,
acknowledged that il was a good thing, i'll
that it set forth fact, without leaving
anything on which TO hinge a speech.
"Of course" said the Minnesota states
man, 1.-The Philippine Islands are part OF
the territory of the United States. Who
says they are not?" This set Senator Bev
eridge thinking. "Do you know" said he,
Il had thought that the resolution left no
opening for a speech. am willing to make
a speech on the Philippine question II
some of you older Senator's would ask me
to do So" This was followed by an en-
barrassing pause in the conversation. Sen
ator Davis was obstinately silent Senator
Beyeridge'S embarrassment found express
sion in little nervous coughs. Whlle the
Minnesotan. who was chairman of the Com
mission which made the Philippines "a
- # h.a Init tn1
was toe absorbed in thought for further
dallance Senator Bever-
idge arose and left him. Across
the chamber Senator Foraker was
bent over his desk, writing
letter. Him Senator Beveridge sought.
Foraker" said the Indianan, Il am going
to introduce a resolution on the Philippine
question. and | am willing to make a
speech on it if some of you older Senators
viii ask me to do So" Senator Foraker
looked up amused Then his face assumed
a solemn expression. ASK you to make
speech-ask you to make speech?" unused
Foraker. "Beyeridge, you don't know the
Senate / have been here a good while,
and nobody has yet asked me to make
speech The truth is. that when | do
make a speech have a hard time getting
ANYBODY to sit on this floor and listen to
me-
Forthwith Senator Beveridge went back
TO his seat and added to his original reso-
luton the phrases on which he can hinge
a speech, which he will deliver next Tues
day The fact that the Senator has visit
ed the Philippines during the past year
lends a unique interest to his forthcoming
exposition of the subject. which, 1t Is be
lieved will cause the grave and reyerent
Senator's to sit in their seats and listen to

The Gage Case.-It was reporfed this
started to drop the action against Secreta
ry Gage instituted In the House by the
Sulzer resolution and concentrate all the
influences against him in the Senate 1t is
stated as a probability that Mr.. Sulzer and
others will be permitted to make speeches
to his resolution in the House. and that
then further proceedings there will be
dropped in favor of the Allen resolution In
the Senate with the view of preventing the
attention of the country from being divided
between the two branches of Congress II
is claimed that the revision of the Allen
resolution made by Republican Senators
before it was introduced signifies a hostlli-
ty to Mr.. Gage in his own party that will
bring disaster to him in some form-prob
ably his enforced retirement from the Cab
met under fire, following the example of
Alger This, it is said would clear the

tary Cages alleged fayoritism to the Rock

ingalls, for COngress.-Well Informed
Kansas politicians say that the chances
are good for the Hon. John ]. Ingalls,
succeeding Representative Charles Curtis
in the Fifty-seventh Congress There is a
fierce struggle between Messrs. Bailey and
Curtis-the former being now a Repre-
sentative-at-large-for the First district
nomination. This contest, it is said, has
already engendered factional spirit which
would probably cause the district to be
lost to the Republicans should either Curtis
or Bailey be nominated. Former Senator
Ingalls,, it is stated, is the only man in the
district who would be acceptable to the
factions. 1t is also said that he has told
his friends that he is willing to accept
the nomination If it should be offered to
him without a struggle

Col" John WhalIen.-The Kentuck


colony has been much stirred up by the in
dictment preferred by the grand juSy a,
Frankfort against Col" John Whallen OF
Louisville on the charge of Offering
State Senator Harrell a bribe o.
81 800 to vote against Blackburn
and Goebel. For many years Whallen has
been a power in Kentucky politics. through
his control of a machine in Louisville al
most as well organized and nearly as pow
erful in a way as that controlled by Gro
ker in New York. Whallens rise to power
has been meteoric. a comparatively few
years ago he was an uninfluential saloon
keeper in Louisville. Then he branChed
out in the show business. He establish
ed the Buckingham, a variety theatre.
which by rapid development has become
the rallying point of all Kentucky states
men Of lesser light who go to Louisville
to flicker gayly. Meantime Whallen has
been chief of police of Louisville. and
whils enjoying the powers and emoluments
OF this office he was enabled to construct
the strong personal political machine that
is welding such an influence in Bluegrass
affairs. His acQuaintances in Washington
do not expect Whallen to be convicted of
the charge of attempted bribery and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary, even though the
convincing, but they do look for it to weak
en-, if it does not destroy, his power In the
politics of their State.
