FISH HATCHERY AT THE AQUARIUM

The fish hatchery the Aquarium since the
death of the big West Indian seal has divided
honors with the harbor seal a centre of attrac-
ton II anything it Is slightly ahead In TINS re-
spect From the hour of opening until the doors
of the big brown building close at o'clock there is
a circle of persons about the tank containing the
hatchery. They peer down into the black wooden
travs containing the pea sized eggs of the rainbow
trout watch to If any little trout is biting
his way out of a grain of swelled tapioca. About
a thousan nd have now made their appearance. and
IL is expected that the eggs Will hatch rapidly
from this time forward. 1t is interesting to look
down into the basin containing the newly hatched
fish One hardly the hair-like things at
the bottom Now and then what appears to be one
of the eggs scuttes half way across the bottom.
Then it Is that it is the egg sac of recently
Matched trout At side is the head Protrud-
ing from the other is the tail.
The direction which the interest of the visitors
takes is indicated by the questions which they ask
of the attendant. In the main they requests
for information about the processes of Matching
They are questions right 10 the point, too the
attendant said the other day. THE people
interested and show that they quickly grasp the
idea There very few foolish questions asked"
Besides the eggs of the rainbow trout the eggs
of the brown trout and the scuipin being
hatched. Within few days II is expected that
uuantfty of the eggs of the lake will be
received The sculpin eggs are being Matched in
the Matching Jars. They attached to strings of
seaweed. and In size and appearance suggest small
pearls The Matching of scuipin eggs is somewhat
OF an experiment. as few attempts have been made
TO hntc them. The attention of fish culturists has
been directed more especially to the eggs of food

PROGRAMME FOR
 HOUSE AND SENATE
Statehood Bill Will Be DiS-
 cusSed at Odd Times.
MANY APPROPRIATION BILLS
House Will Adjourn Early on Account of the Sudden Death of Repre-
 sentative Tongue-Phiip-
 pine Measure Comes Up.

Washington, January 1.-The pro- gramme of the senate for the week in cludes the continuation of the discussion of the statehood bill each day after 2 o'clock and the intermittent discussion of the militia bill during the morning hour of each day when 1t is not cut out by some other matter. There is also a probability of a return at any time to the question of the scarcity of coal in connection with Senator Vests opposition to abolish the tariff on the anthracite. Senator Nelson has not completed his speech on the statehood question. He said today that he was not able to say when he would conclude but when he does get through Senator Burnham will be ready to proceed. The opponents of the bill now make little effort to conceal their intention to continue the debate on the bill indefinitely with the hope that it will be sldetracked by the appropria- tion bills which must be pressed before long. The friends of the statehood bill say that they see no necessity for get ting out of the way of the appropriation bills for the present. 1t is probable that the first general appropriation bill-that providing funds for the legislative, execu- tive and judicial departments of the gov ernment will be reported during the week. but it is doubtful whether it will receive consideration before the follow ing week.

FIETRo EVIDENTLY INSANE.
Man Who Fired at Court Carriage is
 Examined Again.

Madrid, January 11.-Fietro, the man who fired a pistol yesterday at a carriage in the royal procession in which the Duke of Sometery, the grand chamberlain, was supposed to be riding, was examined again today.
 His bearing during the questioning con firmed the previous reports that he is suffering from monomania. careful of ficial inquiry was shown that Fietro Is not connected with anarchists. It was first reported that Fietro had attempted to assassinate King Alfonso. His majesty has received a host of royal and other congratulations upon his escape.
 A dynamite bomb which was sent here by rail in a box from Barcelona has been found at the railroad station. All att tempts to discover the consignee of the box have been fruitless. The bomb reached here the day before the funeral of Senor Sagasta, and is supposed to have been for use during the passage of the funeral cortege.
 It transpires that Feitro was confined for nearly one year in a lunatic asylum in Buenos Ayres. Since he returned to Spain last June he has lived in Madrid, vainly seeking employment, often chang lllS HIS dDOue dHu dlWayS attracting mo- tice by his reticence and flary aspect. He bothered people in high position Tor pro- lection, and wrote to this end to King Alfonso and other sovereigns. He was several times employed as a servant in aristoeratie houses, but was always dis missed as crazy. Feitro alleges that the Argentine government robbed him of thousands of pounds and imprisoned him when he instituted suit to recover the money.

ANNAPOLIS HAS HAZING SCANDAL
MIDsHlPMAN PEARSON LIES IN HOSPITAL WITH HIS JAW BROk- EN WHILE HIS coM5ATANT IS ARRESTED AND LOCKED UP.

Annapolis, Md, January l1.-As result of the fight between Midshipman Robert A. Pearson, a member of the fourth class, from Concord, N. H.. and Francis G. Blasdel of New York, the former is in the hospital with a broken jaw and Blas- del Is locked up. The affair occurred last Sunday night and was the result of Pearson's refusal to be hazed by upper olassmen. The upper classmen had been running him." and some time ago he Is said to have tainted under the ordeal. He was accused of cowardise and was re- quired to fight a third classman. Blasdel was pitted against him, who in the first round broke Pearson's Jaw. The latter, however continued to fight until the fifth round when a first classman present stopped the contest It is reported that a first classman was referee and that seconds were chosen by the men from their respective classes. Blasdel has been placed under arrest and others con nected with the affair will probably be ar rested also by the academy authorities, who are determined to punish the guilty parties.
 Young Pearsons father Edward 'E. Pearson, secretary of state of New Harnp- shire, arrived here tonight and visited his son Mir. Pearson will not meddle in the affair, but will leave it in the hands of the naval authorities.

THE HOUSE.

Washington, January 1.-The house this week will start in earnest on the appropriation bills The Indian and army supply bills are on the calendar, and three others will be reported dur ing the week, namely, the diplomatic and consular, the District of Columbia and agricultural bills. It is probable that the time given to general debate on these bills will be consumed largely in dis cussion of general political questions. The house will adjourn early tomorrow owing to the sudden dealh today of Rep resentative Tongue of oregon. It is the intention of Chairman Cooper of the con sular committee to call up the Philippine coinage bill on Tuesday. It provides for the establishment of the gold standard in the islands, with fixed ratio for the silver peso at to 1. The democrats will oppose this measure on the ground that as the islands are part of the United States our currency should be extended to them.
 In case the judiciary committee agrees on the antitrust bill it will be consider ed as soon as it is brought into the house. The leaders have agreed to side track everything and give it the right of way whenever an acceptable measure is form ulated. While the democrats will urge the adoption of more drastic bill than will be agreed on by the republicans the latter expect both sides of the house in 1 the final passage to vote solidly for | whatever measure is offered.

Physicians are calling attention to the fact that infuenEa or grip has come to stay.

SIMPLY TO SAY "AMEN."
Baseball Men Remain in Cincinnati to
 Have a JolIificaaion.

Cincinnati, January 11.-Following tho adjournment last night Of the joint con- ference of committees of the National and American Baseball leagues there was an informal conference of the national representatives here during the night and today. While the time was spent largely in festivities over the declaration of peace, there was much talk about the meeting of the National league nere on January 19--one week hence. President Robinson of the St. Louis club, who still remains with President Hermann of the Cincinnati club said the meeting next week was called simply to say amen" to the proclamation already made.
 It was stated by others that with five of the eight National league clubs already fully committed to indorsement there was no trouble expected from Boston or the two clubs of Greater New York Among the questions informally dis cussed today was the expected inter- change of championship games between all teams of the National and American leagues. so that fifteen instead of seven visiting clubs would be seen at each place, and this matter may be brought up at the National meeting here next week, as well as at the American league meeting in New York next month.
