FOR CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Ways and Means Committee Vote Re
port on Bill.

Washington, April 1.-The ways
and means committee voted to report
the Cuban reciprocity bill. The vote
was II to 5. Two Republicans-Taw
ney and Metcalfe-voted against the
bill. All amendments were defeated.
Following the action OF the commit
tee the Republican members who op.
pose the bill held conference. About
80 members We're present, represent
ing the various states represented in
sugar production. No material action
was taken, but the discussion was in
the line of continuing the contest on
the floor OF the house. 1t is said, how
ever, that the opposition will be from
members individually rather than from
compact and organized opposition.
After the meeting it was stated that
about 80 Republicans would speak and
vote against the measure. The ways
and means. leaders are confident the
measure will pass, probably by Repub-
llcan votes. In any event, there Is
said to be more than sufficient Demo-
cratic support Of the bill to Offset the
Republican detection.

A Lincoln Reason,

Speaking, of gray hair puts me in
mind of Bates Attorney General
Bates, you know-and of one of Lin
coins remarks. We were all going one
day out from Washington to Tennally-
town-the president, Secretary Chase,
Mr.. Bates and myself-to see General
Mcclellan review the Pennsylvania re-
serves. Bates hair, l noticed, had re-
tanned its original dark color in perfect
freshness, while his beard was almost
as white as mine is now. 1t was an ex-
ception to the usual law, and asked
Mr.. Bates after he had spoken of tho
popularity if he knew any especial
reason for it. He said he didn't, but
the president exclaimed laughingly:
'Why don't you know? It's because he
uses his chin more than he does his
head. Era.

vAGARiEs OF THE TIDES.
Curious Currents In the Ocean and
Its OfshOOts.

Curious Currents In the Ocean and
Its OTshoots.
There are as many yagaries in the
waters as in the winds. Why, for in
stance, should three great ocean cur
srents send their warm waters across
the wide Pacific, Atlantic and around
the Cape of Good Hope? There have
been many theories advanced to solve
the problem Of their origin, but all
have proved fallacious. Other and
equally mysterious currents exist in
well nigh all parts of the world. The
tides are so erratic in different parts of
the world that one hesitates to accept
the theory that the moon controls them
in all cases.
1t is on record that the sea has run
for weeks out of the Java sea through
the strait of Sunda and thence back
again for a like period without any per-
ceptible rise or fall during those times.
Then there is the equatorial current
that flows into the Caribbean sea, the
ever flowing current to the eastward
around Cape Horn, the cold stream
flowing from the icy regions of the
north past Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia and along the American coast
to the extreme end of Florida, the con-
tinual current running with velocity
of from four to five knots an hour
through the strait of Gibraltar into
the Mediterranean sea, the swift cur
rent running across the rocks and
shoals off the end of Billion island,
which apparently starts from nowhere
and ends somewhere in the vicinity of
the same place, and the current which,
starting half way up the China sea,
runs from two to three knots an hour
to the northeast and finally ends alb
ruptly off the north end of Luzon.
Then we have those tidal vagaries
known the world over as bores. Resi-
dents on Severn side are familiar with
them, and those that run up the HUI
gil and Irawaddy rivers from side
to side in a zigzag shape till they reach
their limit, often tearing ships from
their anchorage, originate nobody
knows where or why. The rush of wa
tiers in the bay Of Fundy is nothing
but huge bore sweeping all before it
up to the head of the bay till the waters
have risen to the height Of fifty or six
ty feet. Off Southampton we have the
double tides, while at Singapore it has
been observed for days at time that
there has been but the one rise and
fall in the twenty-four hours. The tides
may be and very often appear as
though they were "moonstruck," but
they certainly are not controlled with
hard and fast rules by that or any 9TH
er body.-London Shipping World.

privnte Gambling In Russia.

There is good deal of gambling in
society in England, but it is nothing to
what goes on in Russia, says the Lon
don Candid Friend. Vint, preference
and roulette are the principal games.
The second is the most popular in army
circles, while many ladies of the high
est rank keep roulette tables and have
regular evenings" OH which play goes
on for very high stakes. AS is usually
the case at roulette, the bank mostly
wins, and the hostess takes good care
to keep the bank.
One of the most notorious of these
private dens is run by two ladies ct
the highest rank and connections. Only
the fine feur of the society of st. Pc
tersburg are admitted. and the entree
Is eagerly sought. The stakes are high,
the plunging often desperate, and men
have been known to leave these salons
in financial condition which ap-
proaches ruin. Tie princesses. howev-
er, make handsome income out of the
bank. and no one thinks the worse of
them.

A WONDE RFgL ESCAPE.
Terrible Experience of Hunter
With an Indian Band.

With an Indian Band.
One of the NEST remarkable instances
of the escape of white man from the
nous hunter and trapper. On the day
in question he and his companion were
surrounded by 600 savage warriors
The companion was instantly killed,
and Golfer was captured. His foes had
no intention of saving his life, how
ever. They wanted the sport of put
ting him to the torture or at least of
playing with him as a cat plays with a
mouse. The chief asked him if he
could run. He said. Not much"
He was released and told to save his
life If he could.
Golfer darted away at high speed,
and most of the 600 savages set off aft
er him. There was a plain before him
six miles wide, bounded on the far side
by river fringed with trees. Golfer
had always been famous as runner
and his practice now stood him in good
stead. He made straight across the
plain for the stream, and the yels Of
his pursuers lent him wings. His foes
had removed every shred Of clothing
from his body, and the plain was COW
cred with prickly pears, so that his I'M
protected feet We're liberated at every
stride.
Half way across the plain he glanced
back and saw that only few Indians
were following him. Again he ran on
nd ,fI 7,
suers was nearing him. He redoubled
his efforts, and blood gushed from his
nostrils and flowed down over his
breast ne
The fringe of trees was near, but o
hasty backward look showed him the
pursuing brave close upon him with
spear raised. Moved by sudden i'm
pulse, Golfer stopped, turned and faced
the savage with outstretched arms.
The Indian was so taken abaek at
this unexpected movement that he
stumbled and fell! This was Golfers
opportunity. He ran back, seized the
spear and, pinning his antagonist to
the ground, ran on.
Other savages came on, fercer than
before ut the death of their cOmrade
but Golfer reached the trees, plunged
into their midst and then into the river
and swan to a pile of driftwood thai
had lodged. He dived beneath it and
stuck his head up between two logs
covered with smaller timbers and
brush.
The Indians came up and searched
for several hours, but failed to fine
him. Again and again they walked
over the driftwood. Luckily they die
not fire it, as he feared they would
at last they went away. Then Golfer
swan out and fed through the forest.
Seven days he went on, living OF
roots and berries, with no clothing, I'm
| til ut last he reached a trading post OF
the Bigl,orn river. He never fully re
covered from the effects of this terrible
eXperience.--Youth's Companion.
