Washington, May 21.-The
controller of the currency receiv-
ed a letter to-day from National
Bank Examiner AIbertson, temper
airy receiver of the First National
Bank of Macon, Ca, which closed
its doors on May 16, 1904, stating
that at this time he cannot state

The Sen Wolf.

A sea wolf caught by salmon fish
ers of the Esk in Montrose, Scotland,
Is described as follows: Its mouth
measured seventeen and one-half inch
es across and when fully opened the
circumference was ifty-two inches.
The lungs were like a white parasol
cut in two. In the middle Of the fish
were two paws remarkably like hands,
the five fingers being attached by a fine
membrane. The sea VOLTS habit is to
lie at the bottom Of the water, with
open mouth. manipulating two codlike
fappers to attract its prey. These flap
pers are fixed over it's head. On being
cut open the VOLTS stomach was found
to contain a e gull, which had been
swallowed whole. AS soon as the bird
was removed the spectators were even
more astonished to find a big eel, which
was still alive"

CANAL COMMISSION NOT A GOOD
THING
is ONLY An OBSTRUCTION
Congressman Favor Enlarginq Powers
Of Chief Engineer and Adolf.
ton Of Commission.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Members O.
the house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce who recently
visited the Isthmus of Panama and in
spected the canal work that is in pro.
gress are a unit in favor of a%bolishing
the canal commission. They are tell
ing their colleagues in the senate and
house without eq%uivocation that Ad.
miral Walker and his associates are
an obstruction instead of an aid to the
gigantic task that the government has
undertaken, and they favor concen.
trating all of the powers now vested
in the commission in the chief engin-
eer of the enterprise and the COVER
0 of the canal strip.
Colonel Hepburn, chairman of the
committee, accurately states the views
of his colleagues as we'll, as his own
when he says that responsibility for
the proper construction of the canal
rests on the chief engineer, while the
principal function of the commission,
as it is at present constituted, is to
hamper and restrict his efforts.
1t is not improbable that the ques-
ton of abolishing the commission will
be taken up seriously in the Fifty
ninth congress and bills to that end

UNIQUE IN PUBLIC LIFE
Ex-sPEAkER kIEFER BACK IN
THE HOUSE.
Driven Into Retirement Over Twenty
Years Ago BY Washington News
paper Correspondents.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE return
to congress of ]. Warren Kiefer OF
Ohio brings again into the limelight
oil publicity n of the unique charac-
tiers in American public life. He has
been in retirement for something more
than 20 years, and that retirement was
brought about by the newspaper men
OF the country. While speaker of the
house he took the control of the press
galley away from the standing COM
mittee of correspondents, and on i'm
portant and interesting occasions
would fill it with his particular
friends, excluding the newspaper men
completely from watching the pro-
ceedings of the house. The press
committee, of which General Henry
". Boynton was chairman, took the
matter in it's own hands, locked the
press gallery doors and excluded those
holding cards from the speaker. This
brought on a clash, of course, and in
the next congress Keifer was rash
enough to charge on the floor of the
house that General Boynton was en-
gagged in lobbying for a certain claim
and had attempted to bride him.
General Boynton did not rest a
moment under such an accusation, but
secured a resolution of inquiry, which
was adopted over the protest of Kei.
fer. A committe was appointed and
Keifer invited to sustain his charges,
which he was unable to do. General
Baynton was completely ex%onerated,
and for having made unfounded and
unsupported charges the newspapers
turned on General Keifer and drove
him out of public life.
Unless he abandons the custom of a
life time, he will appear dressed in
the old-time ~swallowtail coat, a relic
of so years ago and more. He has al
ways worn such a coat in public.
