Was Gratuitous Insult.

Replying. Mir Teller said that he con sidered Mir Hopkins reference to him self in connection with the slums as a gratuitous insult and added that after such an exhibition of bad manners on the part of the Illinois senator he would decline to yield further to him or have anything further to do with him. His talk about the slums is unworthy of him and I am sure that General Thomas character is quite as good as that of the Illinois senator"
 He added that he had made no refer ence to MT. Hopkins, but said that on the contrary, when reading the newspaper ar ticle which he had quoted, he had pur- posely omitted all personal reference to MT. Hopkins.
 Mr. Hopkins said he had no intention of making any attack on the Colorado sen ator, he was however, entirely familiar with the Thomas letter and knew that it's writing had been dictated by spite, as he knew also that the course of the secre- tary, as we'll as his own course in the matter. had been open and in the interest of public service.
 MT. Cullom said that General Thomas had been his personal friend and thai he had stood by General Thomas up to the time of his removal He said General Thomas was sincere in believing himself a good appraiser, but. said Mr Cullom. "r think the secretary of the treasury prob ably was justified in removing him."
 The postoffice appropriation bill was passed.
 The conference report on the Indian ap- proprlation bill was agreed to. The I<ittredge bill to provide for tenn porary government for the canal zone at Panama was taken up and NIr.

 MT. Morgan offered his bill introduced on the first Instant as a substitute for tho entire bill.

 Mir. Williams, referring to Mir. Bart holdt's statement that President Jefferson had dined a negro, provoked laughter and applause when he said that every man knows if the negro ate at Monticello. he ate in Jefferson's kitchen and not at Jefferson's family table,

There was not to be a hvbri- dized south. He wanted the country to know that he was speaking as a southern CT, with the best interest at heart of both, white and black, inhabitants.

Letter From Mir. Cleveland.

Princeton, N. J.. March 14. 1904. Hon Gahrles L. Bartlett Washington, D. C.-My dear Mr. Bartlett: I have re- eeived number of inquiries similar to yours touching my invitation to Fred Douglass to wedding reception and signing. while governor of New York, of bill providing for mixed schools. T do not suppose that Mir Thomas B. Watson believed or had any reason to believe, either of the allegations when he made them. At any rate they are both utterly and absolutely false.
 q cannot afford to devote a great deal of time denying such foolish tales I shall therefore attempt to cover every phase of the subject now and for all It so happens that I have not In my official position either while sleeping or waking, alive or dead, on my head or on my heels. dined, lunehed or supped, or invited to a wedding reception, any colored man, wo- man or child. If. however. I have de- cided to do any of these things, neither the fear of MT Watson or any one else would have prevented me When I was governor. a movement was made In the legislature to abolish separate coored schools in New York city. I opposed the meaure and it failed. 1 do not find that I nterposed veto and have forgotten the course the matter took: but I know that whatever did was in favor of maintain Ing separate eolored schools instead of having them mixed.
 Yours very truly,

TURTLE WEIGHING 1000 POUNDS
Caught on California Coast Said to be
Largest Ever Captured.

The monster turtle, weighing about
1900 pounds, captured by George
Evich in the power launch Bell on
Friday. is reported to be the largest
turtle ever known. and the capture is
/ therefore considered important from q
! scientific standpoint.
The turtle belongs TO the species Tes-
tudo lyra or Sphargis mercavfaiis This
family is chelonian. The largest mar
inc turtle previously captured was
taken in the Galapagos group of is
lands several years ago and was taken
to London. 1t weighed $50 pounds and
was known to have been over so years
of age. 1t was still growing at the
time of its death. What the age of the
turtle captured by Evich is is a mat
ter of conjecture, but it is estimated
at from 100 to 300 years.
The chelonian family of turtles pos
sess tails but no teeth. Jaws are pro-
Yided With a horny sheath with hard
and sharp edges, forming a beak like
a parrots. Marine turtles are spread
over the equatorial and subtropicai
seas, and sometimes stray beyond these
limits, being seldom taken above San
Diego. The chelonians are diurnal ami
mails, and only a few of the family are
active during the night They are
extremely rapid in the water, either to
seize their prey or escape danger. The
marine turtle periodically migrates to
breeding stations. The species inha-
biting temperate waters hibernates.
The marine turtle possesses great
tenacity of life, surviving injuries to
which other reptiles would succumb
in a short time. The heart of a de-
capitated marine turtle will beat many
hours after every drop of blood has
been drained from the body, and the
muscles of the trunk and head show
signs of reflex action twenty-four hours
after the severing of the spinal cord !
Some marine turtles are herbivorous
and others carnivorous, their prey con-
sisting of fish, frogs and other small |
aquatic animals.
The limbs are modified into paddles, |
by means of which they propel them |
selves with extraordinary rapidity |
through the water, but are unfit for |
locomotion on land, where the progress
of these animals is as awkward as |
that of SEAL The toes are enclosed |
in common skin, out of which only |
one or two claws project.
Comparatively few are caught in the |
ed at well known periods where they
go ashore to deposit their eggs. These |
are very numerous, from 100 to $50 be- !
ing produced by one female and buried |
in the sand. These eggs are usually |
covered with a hard, thick sheu-Los |

TIE GUARDS RETURN.
Enjoyed the Trip But Are Glad to
Uet Back Home,

Tired and footsore were the Gainesville
Guards when they arrived in this city
from Manassas Tuesday afternoon. They
had seen something more like real war
than many Of them had ever seen before
The marching up in the "Old Dominion
was more than the boys had been accus-
toned to, and it put many Of them to
wondering how our fathers and grand
fathers stood it when they were at Ma
nassas facing real shot and shell and 60
ing half clad, and sometimes less than
half fej
The boys acquitted themselves nobly,
though, and the people of Gainesville
should certainly feel proud of our soldier
boys.
Some of the boys say they would not
have missed the trip 10 Manassas, aud
taking part in the sham battle there for a
hundred dollars, but they would not have
another such experience for any price
They feel they have done their duty, and
now they want no more Of it in theirs,
Fortunately no serious, or very painful
accident happened to any Of the Gaines
vile company during their absence rom
home and they were all glad to get back
home, and the home people we're glad to
see them all return without having ex'
perienced any serious mishaps,
