spain brought Us Horses.

The Spaniards we're the first to
bring horses to this continent, though
the Psychologists tell us that the
rocks abound with fossils which show
that equidae were numerous all over
America in the eocene period. It is
a singular fact, however, that there
were no horses in America when the
first Europeans came hither.--John

Tallahassee, Fla, June 19.-The gu

be one of the most exciting ever con-
Quoted in the state. For time it was
thought that Congressman Bob Davis
had cinch on the seat, and that no
one would have the temerity to an
nounce against him. Few men have
smooth sailing on the turbulent politi-
cal seas for any great length of time.
This is the case with Mr.. Davis. He
has struck the breakers and formida BILE
opposition has sprung up in different
parts of the state
There are candidates and rumors of
candidates, with several counties yet
TO hear from. Among the men who
have mentioned themselves for Gov
ernor are Hon, B. 5. Lidden of Mari
anna, former chief justice of the Su-
preme Court, Robert Davis of Tampa,
Gen. Bullock of Ocala, Jefferson B.
Browne, John l.. Morgan and r. Hud-
son Burr, all of the Florida Railroad
Commission, and several others.
Hon. c. NJ. Brown of Ocala, state
senator from the Twentieth district,
has since the adjournment of the Leg
islature carefully considered the many
suggestions of both the press and the
people and to-day definitely announces
his candidacy before the Democratic
primaries of next year for the gubcr-
material office. '

He Says He Is Convinced of the Cor
rectness of His Policy.
London, June 1s.-Lord Camperdown,
in the House of Lords to-day, drew the
attention of the House to the recent
revelation of Foreign Minister Lans-
downe to the effect that Germany had
intimated that if the other British col
onies follow the example of Canada in
giving preference to the British i'm
ports, Great Britain would probably
not be allowed to continue in receipt of
the most favored nation terms.
Lord Lansdowne replied that he de-
sired to deprecate the assumption that
the conduct of Germany was actuated
by deliberate hostility to Great Brit
ain. If Great Britain made her posi-
ton perfectly clear and Ineligible, as
she ought to do it would, he thought,
be possible to accomplish a settlement
of these questions in 9. manner salts
factory to Great Britain and to her
colonies.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain de-
livered a speech tonight at a banquet
given by the Corona Club, in which,
while throwing no fresh light on the
governments intentions, he left no
doubt regarding his own conviction of
the ultimate triumph of his colonial
and imperial programme. Mr.. Cham
berlain dealt in a testing spirit with
the now frequently printed and spoken
prophecies of his being crushed into
oblivion beneath the Zollverein mill
stone, and said that threatened men
lived long. Whatever might be his per-
sonal fate he would look back with
pride and satisfaction on the great
imperial policy with which he had been
permitted to be associated in some de-
gree in common with many members
Of the club.

The Lobster's Enemies.
From the New York Sun.

AlOiH lliC ANEW AOA n OAns
1.-THE lobster" said an old fisherman,
has no greater enemy than the bot
tom feeding fishes-blackfish Goldfish,
haddoek. and so on. They eat the lob
ster entire when they find one that
has just shed Its shell, when 1t is not
only soft. but powerless, and they may
disable a lobster and then destroy It
even when 1t is in fighting trim. Hail
a dozen blacklist, for instance, might
come across a lobster and manage to
bite off iS legs and so partially dis
able II.
THE lobster is agile, quick and long
jumper through the water, but the
Blacklist is quicker. and IL can easily
keep up; and, the lobster finally DIS
abled. II quickly finishes IT. In this
way BLACKLIST might get away with
a lobster of considerable size. The
Goldfish gets many-very likely the cod
fish knows the haunts Of the lobster
better than men do. The skate, clumsy
as IL is. gets some; II II can blanket
q lobster, get one of Its big hap-1ike
pectoral fins over IL. the skate grad
ually works the lobster up to its mouth,
and holds II so while II eats Il. The
skate gets crabs in the same manner,
and there IL a fish called the crab
eater. In fact. there Is constant war
fare going on at the bottom OF the sea
among the dweliers there In the strug-
gle for existence, and the lobster among
them has no greater enemy than the
bottom-feeding fishes"

WHY COMPANIES REFUSED
To Pat III Money for the BOOdIers
I'm Missouri

i'm Missouri
st. Louis. June 19.-According to
James A. Waterworth, an insurance
expert of st. Louis, the refusal of in
surance companies to put up money
for boodlers in the legislative session
of 1894. was responsible for the pas
sage Of the bills abolishing rating
boards in the cities and county insur-
ance. He said that at the session two
years ago bills to repeal the act abol-
ishing underwriting boards were in
troduced. At first $4,000 was demand
ed for passage. This was afterward
reduced to $25. 900. The companies re-
fused to produce the money and the
bills were killed in committee.
This year the business OF the cities
united in an effort to get the bills
through. The insurance companies did
not lobby for the measure at all. Only
the county insurance bill passed. Mean
time the boodlers had asked from the
companies that SIS, 900 be pat up to
pass all three of the bills introduced
at the instance of st. Louis Business
Mems League and other commercial
bodies of the state.

firmed part of the statement made by
Mr.. Waterworth.

Payne StiII Busy with His Postomce
Middle.

Washington, June 19.-Postmaster
General Payne has received a report
from Assistant Attorney General Robb
I in reply to the formers request for a
statement whether the decision of the
Postoffice Department in the Ryan turf
investment case, signed by former
Acting Assistant Attorney General
Christiancy, is in accordance with the
law and the facts. Mr.. Payne is not
yet ready to make the report public.
Mr.. Christiancy is still under suspen-
sion. Postal officials are in touch with
him, and it is believed that final dis
position of his case is delayed with a
view to securing further information
from him concerning the administra-
ton of his office.
Postmaster General Payne has not
announced his final action on the ap-
peal of former Supt. Metcalf of the
money order system for suspension
of the order of dismissal, but the dis
position of the appeal is foreshadowed
by a suggestion from Mr.. Payne that
Mr.. Metcalf was convicted on his own
statement at full hearing.

AMERICAN DERBY
Will BE Run This Afternoon at
Washington Park.

Chicago, June 19.-The American
derby, the greatest turf event of the
West will be run tomorrow afternoon
at the Washington Park track. Twen-
ty-three horses are named in the en-
tries for the big race. The event is
worth $4,000 in added money, and if
all the horses named go to the post,
the gross value of the Derby will be
$SS,175.
There never was an American derby
field which presented a more open
proposition than the one Tomorrow.
SaVable, the favorite for the race, is
expected to lose by many more than
have picked him to win. Instead of be-
coming a warmer choice as the race
approaches, his odds have gone up half
a point and he is now 2k to 1. He is
still regarded as the most likely win
ner on a fast track, but there is no
certainty that the course will be at its
best. Light rains will not hurt it, but
the fall of rain this afternoon has
dampened it.
