FISH THAT LEAVE THE WATER
Some Can Live 81 Long Time Out of
Their Native Element-The
"Stare-AbOut.v


1t is commonly supposed that all fish
die very soon after being taken from
the water. There are exceptions, how
ever. to the rule. There is the stare
about a kind of goby that at ebb tide
walks calmly up on the sand banks erect
on two huge fore fins. With his gigantic
google eyes he keeps sharp lookout
for crabs and such things as are left
behind by the receding water Then we
all knaw, says an exchange, that eels
can wriggle, snakelike, miles across the
meadows to other ponds and rivers.
In Holland carp are kept all winter
hung up in a net and sprinkled only &C.
casionally with water. The Indian
"shake-head" is quite happy even when
his native pond dries up, and lies torpid
till the next rainy season. The flying
gurnard will keep ahead of an ocean
liner going at full speed and fly for many
minutes in quick successive flights OF
800 yards or so at time. So, granted
that the average fish prefers water, some
of them, at any rate, can do very well
out of it.

We don't know this to be afact,
but if it is, he was pretty wise
farmer after all. 1t is said that a
prominent farmer, residing north,
east, south or west of town was
about to mail a letter recently, in
which was enclosed quite a sum of
money but happened to glance at it
just before dropping it in the box
and saw that he had neglected to
address it. More out of curiosity
than anything Nelse, he open the
letter and was further surprised to
notice that he had failed to sign
his name. After making the
necessary additions to his letter,
he went straightway to the printing
office and ordered 200 envelopes,
saying that he was going to run no
risk in having his mail go to the
dead letter Office.

ly affected. Local dealers Friday placed
double rush orders with Kansas City,
Omaha, St Joseph and other neighbour
ing cities, but it is only possible to se-
cure it in limited quantities. Unless the
situation is eased within the next three
weeks manufactures will be compelled
to shut down for want Of fuel.
There has been no attempt on the part
of the operators and miners to get to-
gether since the split in the conference.
Leading operators say they will be pre-
pared to supply the demand for long
while yet and that they have no thought
of compromising outside the terms pro-
posed and once rejected. On the other
hand the miners are equally as persis-
tent. They say the situation must re-
main as it is for period OF at least 60
days, at the end of which time negotia-
lions for an adjustment will either be
made or the strike will be continued
with the help of the National United
Mine Workers of America.

IMPEACHMENT OF SWAYNE

LUTON THURSDAY.
An Effort Will Be Made, It Is Said,
to Prevent a Vote at

Washington, April 2.-The Post says:
An agreement has been reached where.
by the resolution to impeach Judge
Charles Swayne, of the northern district
Of Florida, will be called up for consid-
GRAFTON in the house next Thursday. The
time is satisfactory to Mr. Palmer (Pa.),
who prepared the majority report Of tho
judiciary committee in favor of impeach-
ment; and also to Mr.. Gillette (Cal.),
who prepared the chief minority report
against impeachment. Speaker Cannon
has agreed to Thursday for considera-
ton of the resolution. An attempt will
be made by some of the republican lead.
ers in the house to have the matter re-
committed TO the judiciary committee,
thus avoiding at this session vote on
the merits of the case. What they con.
tend Is that simple justification for this
course has been found in the alleged
fact that the testimony as published by
the committee is not complete. The
charge is made that important papers
and affidayits have been withheld from
the house, and it will be insisted that

resolution it has a right to all the in
formation that was before the commit
tee when it agreed, by a vote of eight to
five, to report resolution favoring the
impeachment of Judge Swayne. If the
leaders fail in their effort to have the
case recommitted, they will endeavor
in some other way to prevent vote on
the merits of the case at this time. It
is suggested as an alternative PROPOSE
ton that day after the converting Of
the next regular session of congress be
set for a vote. The desire for delay is
not generally shared by members Of the
Judiciary committee, either those who
favor or those who oppose impeachment.
Mr.. Gillette, who prepared the report
against impeachment, said that he was
willing the matter should be disposed Of
at once on its merits, after proper time
for debate.

Fuller Details of Recent Battle Be.
tween the British and
Tibetans.

Tuna, British India, April News
has been received here of severe fight
Ing, the Tibetans having engaged the
British mission under Col Younghus-
band. There were two engagements and
the Tibetans We're repulsed with loss
OF 400 dead and wounded. Early Thurs
day morning flying column started
to reconhoiter the Tibetan camp at
Guru and was warned back. Soon the
attitude of the Tibetans convinced Col.
! Younghusband Of the necessity Of dis
arming them. The Tibetans numbered
about 1900, and their resistance to the
effort to disarm them led to smart en-.
gaSement.
The Tibetans lost heavily, owing to the
inferiority of their weapons, which
were matchbox rifles, but they displayed
the greatest courage. After the action
there were heaps of dead, and long
trail of dead and wounded extended to
j the rear
After 4 short halt the advance con-
tinued. Nearing the Tibetan camp at
Guru second action took place. in
which the artillery played the largest
part While the forces were face to
face on the opposite sides of wall
which the Tibetans had built across
the highway to oppose the advance.
the Indian troops quietly deployed
their TANKS and effectively inclosed
1900 Tibetans in a circle. The men,
bers of the mission, the press CORE
/ spondents and the general staff rode
| up to inspect the capture and were
laughing and talking. They were un-
aware of the impending tragedy, evil
IDENTIFY, being needless of the sullen de-
meanor of the Tibetans.
| The natives presently began to hus-
tie some Sillhs, who replied with the
/. butts of their rifles. Then the Tibet
ans fired pistol, wounding Sikh,
and this was the signal for all the
Tibetans to draw their swords and rush
at their captors, who opened fire on
the surging mob. The officers emptied
4 their revolvers. The Tibetans found
| themselves unable to climb the wall
| which they themselves had built. FL
nally about half of them were able to
break away to the rear, where they
! came under the fire of the artillery,
| OF the entire Tibetan force only about
half escaped being either killed or
| wounded. The Tibetan general was
killed. Altogether the British casual
ties were r. The Daily Mail CORE
spondent was severely wounded.

THE DAY IN CONGRESS.
House Passes the sundry Civil Bill
Senate Discusses Political
Question.

Washington, April 2.-The house on
Friday passed the sundry civil appro-
priation bill, after voting down a prop
osition by Mr. Sulzer to recommit 1t
with instructions to strike out tho ap-
preparation of $136,600 for rent Of the
New York custom house. The remain
der of the day was devoted to discus
sion of the conference report on the
army appropriation bill. With the e1-
ception of one amendment, providing
certain increases in the signal CORPS,
the house disagreed to all other impof-
tant senate amendments and the bill
was sent back to conference.
Good Friday was devoted by the SEN
ate to almost continuous discussion OF
political questions. The time until two
o'clock was devoted to consideration
of the Carmack resolution, proposing
an inquiry into the legality of the re-
cent executive old age pension order.
Senator Mallory was the principal
speaker, but he was frequently inter-
rupted by republican senators. He con.
tended that Secretary Hitchcock had
transcribed the limits of executive au.
thority in issuing the order. The lat
ter half of the day was devoted to the
post Office appropriation bill, but no
appreciable progress was made with
that measure, the speeches on 1t being
in the main political, and of general
character.
There was a spirited debate between
Senator'S Simmons and Beveridge on
the question of the propriety Of con-
gressional investigation into the affairs
Of the post Office department, during
which the prospective presidential
nominees of the two political parties
in the next campaign were freely dis
cussed. Mr.. Beveridge admitted that
the republicans had agreed on candi-
date. and named President Roosevelt
as the man.
