SEA SERPENT.
Ocean Reptile Sighted Near Chuk Chso
 Island, China.

Island, China.
 The Hong-Kong Daily Press has received the following official re- port" on sea serpent seen last week in local waters:
 On Sunday, the 18th of August, 1901 at 11:20 a. m., as the Chinese customs cruising launch Lungtsing was steaming at haf-speed heading for Boddam cove, Tungho island, in latitude north 22 degrees, 8 minutes 30 seconds, and longitude east 113 degrees AS minutes 40 seconds, at about ten cable lengths from the Chuk Chao island, Isighted dark ob- ject on the surface of the water, one point on the starboard bow, and which looked to me like a rock. l at once gave the order ''full speed astern," and the vessel passed about 30 feet clear of the object, which, to my sur prise, was large serpent lying in round coil, with its head raised two or three feet and slightly moving. Stopped engines and lowered star board gig. l dispatched Mr. Muster, second officer, in gig with orders to kill the monster, if possible. MT. Muster stood in bow of gig with a boathook ready to strike The ser pent had now lowered its head again, but on approach of the gig, suddenly struck out, hitting blade of one of the oars, turning the sailor turtle back. It then raised its head to the level of the launch's davit-about 15 feet-at distance of not more than ten feet from the gig and 30 feet from the launch-where 1 stood. The crew of the gig were scared and prepared to jump overheard. Mir. Muster, still standing in bow of gig, prepared to strike with the boat hook, but be- fore he could do so the monster sud- denly dived and made off. Its action in swimming was like that of an or dinary water snake. The water be- ing clear, the reptile could be plainly seen few feet down. It dived very quickly and made considerable dis surbance of the water.
 We judged the serpent to be from 40 to 50 feet long and about foot in diameter It had kind of crest on its head and two fins high up on the neck, just behind the jaw. The thick est part of its body appeared to be about 15 feet from the head, taper ing both ways. Its head was as big as a Rugby foot ball, with large eyes and mouth opening wide when strik- ing. It was of very dark color on the back-striped and mottled, but lighter on the belly.
 As soon as the serpent disappeared and we on the launch had recovered from our first surprise, ordered the ten -barreled Nordenfeldt to be load ed, and launch moved slowly round for 15 or 20 minutes in hopes that the reptile would reappear, but, not doing so, vessel proceeded on her way to Boddam cove.

 Officer in charge, c. L. Lungtsing.

VERY HIGH-HANDED
VENEZUELA ATTEMPTING TO
MULCT AN AMERICAN COMPANY.
h situation 1. Very Critical-FOr-
efen Investors Fear That They
Will Re Driven From the Country
-Dfsturbances Are Constantly
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES II Banking
on the DisinclinatiOn to COerce O
Weak Government - Insurgents
Gain a Battle.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, British West
Indies, Jan. 23.-The arrivals yesterday
from Venezuela confirm the reports OF
a critical condition in that republic.
A former Venezuelan minister asserts
that the politicians at Caracas are
making a determined raid on the Ber-
mudez Asphalt company. They tried II
before, on a modest scale, squeezing
$4,000 out Of the company, when
United States Minister Loomis pro-
tested and stopped further action Of
this description.
The government, the minister says,
listened to reason then, but has now
lost it's head, through greed, and offers
to restore the company's property for
a million dollars, although it is said to
have been illegally taken by a dicta-
torial decree.
The assertion As again made if for
eign governments permit the action Of
the Venezuelan authorities to pass
without protest all foreign investors
will be driven from South America, for
they say they are always illegally
plundered.
The assertion is made that no former
Venezuelan government would have
dared to act as this one does toward
Washington. It is explained that the
Venezuelan authorities are counting on
the dissemination Of strong nations to
coerce weak ones
At the office here of the Orinoco COM
pany, whose two steamers were re-
Gently seized by the Venezuelan au-
thorities, the manager says. the British
minister at Caracas, Mr.. Haggard, has
informed the American minister that
the British government will not protect
the company because its shareholders
are Americans. The company is said
to be losing heavily through the seiz-
ure of the steamers.
The commander of the French cruis-
Ell Suchet, stationed at Carupano for
the protection Of the large French in
terests in hat vicinity, reports that
disturbances are increasing. The in
surgents of Venezuela have just gained
a battle near Guira.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The senate in
executive session confirmed the NOM
ination of James s. Harlan to be at
torney general of Porto Rico. The
final vote was reached after a discuss
sion Of more than two hours duration.
and when announced stood 43 to q in
favor of confirmation. All the Repub-
licans cast their votes in the afirma-
tive and two or three Democrats voted
with them. The session was character
ized by a spirited colloquy between
Senators Chandler and Hawley in
which bitter personal language was
used.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1901-01-26

Washington, Jan. 19.-Just before 6
o'clock last evening the senate finally
disposed Of the army reorganization
bill. The vote stood 43 to %. While
party lines were drawn on the easur
four Democrats voted for it, Senators
Lindsay of Kentucky, McLaurin Of
South Carolina. Morgan of Alabama
and Sullivan of Mississippi. Senator
tanned at his home by illness, was
Spooner of Wisconsin.
The bill has occupied practically the
entire attention of the senate since the
Sd of January, and while the opposition
to it at all stages was vigorous, it v
was bitter. Numerous amendments
were made to it but in general the COM
mittee was sustained and the measure,
with the exception of the elimination of
the canteen clause, is not widely diff
ferent from that reported to the sem
ate. A determined effort was made to
amend the bill SO as to provide against
the sale of liquor in the Philippines,
and to prohibit the importation of n
kind Of intoxicants into the islands, but
it was defeated. Every effort to prevent
the increase in the strength of the
army VAS defeated by a decisive ma
jority.
In the House.
The house spent the entire day on
the bill to refer to the court Of claims
the claims of the William Cramp &
Sons Shipbuilding Company of Phila-
delphia, for alleged damages due to the
delay of the government in furnishing
armor plate and material for the bat
tleships Massachusetts, and Indiana
and the .cruisers New York and Column
bia. The claims aggregate $1,S67,244.
The bill has been conspicuous at every
session Of congress for several years.
It met with the strenuous and deter
mined opposition Of a portion of the mi
nority under the leadership of Mr.. Nc
Dermott of New Jersey and Mr.. Robb
Of Missouri. A filibuster was finally
begun, but it's friends at length sue
ceeded in having the previous question
ordered upon the bill. The house then
adjourned. The ordering of the previ-
GUS question gives the bill a technical
advantage in parliamentary way; which
insures a vote on it whenever it is
called up again.
