FIRST PLACE..
Harpy Eagle of the Philippines Gets
Second Place-Our Own Turkey Il .
Good Third - Sonne Demand Second
Place for the BASTARD.

The ornithologists of Great Britain
and America have just finished q spir
tied discussion which has lasted for
more than year, as to which is the
largest bird that flies. The prize has
been awarded to an American bird,
the great condor of the Andes. To an
other bird, which is an American now,
has been given the second prize. It Is
the fierce harry eagle Of the Philip
pines. Our own turkey comes near tAs
second place, and If England succeeds
IN = present attempt at reintroducing
the famous great bustard into the tight
little island it will have the next larg-
est bird to our turkey. In this discus
sion the term largest" has been de-
hned as meaning bird which has both
the largest spread Of wing and the
heaviest weight. This com bination Of
two essentials has made the exact
choice for second. third and fourth
place a matter for fine calculation. But
there is no question about the choice
Tor first place. The condor is king. In
the United States we have, besides the
turkey, four other birds which are
ranked high in the list Of the largest
flying birds. They are the beautiful
golden eagle. the national bald-headed
eagle, the great wild swan, known spe-
caacally as the whooper, and the Cali
fornia condor, which is almost as large
as his South American brother. In
many respects the South American
condor is the most remarkable Of all
living creatures. No other bird can
fly so high Humboldt saw one flying
over Chimborazo at height OF $4,000

Ireland's Potato Crop Pays.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. October IL
The Sehley court of inquiry held but
one session to-day. adjourning at
o'clock until Monday In order TO give
those engaged in connection with the
inquiry an opportunity for recupera-
ton.
Captain Chadwick concluded his tes-
timony begun yesterday. and Leuten-
ant Commander Sidney A. stanton,
who served ON the New York as an
assistant to Captain Chadwick as chief
of staff for Admiral Sampson. and
Lieutenant Nathan C. Twining. former
ly of the Iowa, were introduced as new
witnesses.
Commander Staunton's testimony
dealt largely with dispatches forward
ed by Admiral Sampson to Commodore
Schley, and while he was under exam
ination Mr.. i.ayner outlined a conten-
tion In behalf of Admiral Schley TO the
effect that the despatch written on May
q was the first positive notice that
the commander-in-chief had given
Commodore Schiey of the presence OF
the Spanish feet in the harbor at San
tiago. Lieutenant Twining said In his
testimony that while the flying squad
ron occupied position of from three
to five miles out from Cienfuegos dur
ing the day time, the distance was in
creased to nine miles at night. He was
i in charge of the S-inch guns during
the bombardment of the Cristobal
Colon on May 81, and he said that all
the shots from the American fleet fell
short of the mark.
Near the close of the days session
Judge Advocate Lemly and Mr.. Rayner
became engaged In a controversy over
the admissibility at that time of chart
showing the speed of the vessels OF the
flying squadron, and when Mr.. Rayner
made statement concerning the mat
ter to be introduced. the judge advo-
cate took exception to its reception,
saying Mr.. Rayners summary might
be inaccurate, as other statements made
by him, referring especially to the con-
tents of documents presented had been.
Mr. Rayner resented the expression
and replied to the effect that IL uttered
outside of the court room be would say
that 1t was false. Before the court ad-
journed both Mr.. Rayner and Captain
Lemly made statements concerning the
Incident to the court, and Admiral
Dewey expressed the opinion that Capt.
Lem1y's explanation should be satisfac-
tory to Mr.. Rayner.

THE CANTEEN NEEDED
To Counterfeit the EVIL Effects of
Porto Ricap Native Drinks and
Groceries

WASHINGTON, d. c., October H.
General John r. Brooke. commanding
the department of the east, in his re-
port for the last fiscal year records
that he has visited, with few excep-
tons, all the posts in that department.
He was much gratifed at the progress
made at all the artillery posts where
modern armament has been installed.
Many barracks posts he found made
quate. He lays great stress upon the
desirability OF having the lonely and
remote southern posts made as attrac-
tive as possible. The present quarters
are generally uninhabitable, and few
soldiers desire to re-enlist once they
taste the inconvenience.
In an appended report, Lieut.. Col.
James A. Buchanan says:
The sale of beer at the post ex-
changes, recently prohibited will not
result to the best interests of good dis
cipline in Porto Rico. The low price
of native drinks, their Injurious effects
and the degrading influence which sur
round their sale, all lend to undoing
rather than the uplifting of the enlist
ed men. The number of places where
these drinks are sold is greater than
in the United States, thus affording
more opportunity for drunkenness.
Again. the cost of beer and other bev-
erages, outside of the post exchange,
is so great as to compel the soldiers
to purchase the cheaper and more in
furious native drinks

The Democratic members Of Council
held a caucus last night ON the city gas
board. Extraordinary precautions we're
taken to insure seeresy. II was held
in Walther's hall. corner Twenty-sixth
and Ghapline streets. All the Demo-
cratic members were present except
Messrs. Burke and Lavey, and IL Is I'M
derstood that both gentlemen have sig
niiied their intention to net with the
party In defeating the Chew slate.
The situation was discussed in oil its
phases, aud there was practical
unanlmity of sentiment favorable To-
acting with the Republicans who are
unfriendly to the insurgents In defeat
ing the ticket dictated by M A. Chew.
Mr.. Chew was denounced for his al
legged trickery and was condemned
upon all sides for breaking faith with
the Democrats after binding himself
by solemn oath to stand by them.
Several speakers took the poHition that
there was glory enough for the Demo-
Gratis, inasnruch as they can get no val
liable concessions. in thwarting the We
laid plans of Chew and his associate
insurgents
One member was rather insistent In
his demand for share of tho spoils-
He had approached Mr.. Buchanan and
had sought promises of places for
Democrats. which were not given.
Therefore. he thought the Democratic
members should name ticket and try
to get 1t through. and n this course
fallen he thought II would be time
enough to support the present board.
Very good reasons wore given why
such II course would be foolish and the
gentelmen decided to support the pres
ent Board. with the exception of the
Democratic member. The Democrats
thought that concession ut least was
due them and they decided upon Mr..
Geo. j. Mathlson, instea.. OF Mr.. Pol
lock. the present minority member.
The Democrats will be virtually a
unit in their support of Buchanan, Ford
and Mathison. and II Mr.. Buckman's
