Washington. ID. c., Jan. IL.
A crowd of Senators and Congressman
were at the White House this morning
10 talk tariff modification aud extra ses-
sion to the President. The statement
given out "by a gentleman who was
present at the Saturday afternoon con-
ference" which some believed was in
spired by very close friend of the Pres
ident and therefore voiced his views,
possibly had something to do with the
hurried calls of the lawmakers. The
statement referred TO said that the Presi-
dent would call the extra session of Con-
Qress for the consideration of the tariff
and interstate commerce legislation,
"whenever the committees of Congress
and especially the House ways and means
committee" informed him that they we're
ready to takeup the bill. The hint that
some of the "stand-patters" had given
out to the effect that the President did
not wish to call a spring session because
it would interfere with projected hunt
ing trip, was one of the incidents in the
affair that ruflied the Presidents feelings
to some extent. Speaker Cannon who
leads the "sland-pat" contingent of the
House was one OF the first to call
upon the President this morning but
would say nothing of what occurred.
Representative Sibley, of Pennsyl-
vania, was another stsndpat advocate.

ment of the majority of the Congress on
this important question. The poll Of

think it is finished yet, but the count of
Pennsylvania was completed and showed
that every republican in the delegation
was against tinkering with the tariff.
If the President would only stop to think
of .he terrible effects of any disturbance
in the schedules, perhaps he would

"Who,"
"The very men who robbed me-"
The reaction which came over the
old man was terrible to witness. He
recalled that after all he might lose
his beloved captain, whose life was
still in danger for he was once more
a prisoner.

he sighed "Crack-lash, let's go and
hunt him. Now that we know he is
alive, we got something to hunt for,
and we'll hunt him Come, Crack

After considerable persuasion Paul
induced him to wait until next morn
ing; so they built a camp fire and
prepared to pass the night.
Next morning they were early astir.
They had packed their knapsacks
and were about ready to start, when
Paul suggested:
perhaps the walrus hide will tell
something about this mystery. Let
us take look at it,"
He unrolled the walrus hide, and
the ex-sailor, who had long studied
the picture writing of the Alaskan.
Indians, bent over it and began to
slowly and carefully decipher the pic
lures.
The old man had to put all his
knowledge of picture writing to the
severest test to read. He made out
that the captain had discovered rich
gold diggings, but the walrus hide
could give them no hint as to the
whereabouts of the three men and
their prisoner.
Paul suddenly rolled up the walrus
hide and stuffing it in his knapsack,
said
THAT piece of hide is a key to mil
lions, have no doubt, and in all prob
ability the scoundrels were trying to
make him give it to them"
Let's go, Crack-lash. Let's go, fur
l itch to git my fingers about the
threats of the cusses."
They hastily packed up, broke
camp and were soon on their way up
the mountain, engaged in a dangerous
search, the result of which they knew
to be doubtful

Three days later, as they were
climbing over hilltop, they saw two
men several hundred rods in advance
and gave chase.
They were within long rife range
when the two fugitives discovered
them and began to run.
The two men darted into a ravine
and they saw them no more. Glum
Ralston was of the opinion the men
they chased were two seal hunters,
who had wandered into the woods in
search of moose or deer.
They continued toward the coast,
following a faint trail. At last they
came upon one of those bays that ex-
tend inland, and saw great, floating
icebergs glistening in the light OF the
sun. Suddenly the old man stopped
and pointing to some tracks in the
snow cried:
Look, Crack-lash. There's big
game"
What do you make it out to be,
Glum?" Paul asked.
"Nothin' more nor less than a polar
bear"
Paul had heard much of those fierce
beasts, but never seen one. The
near proximity of this one reused his
sporting blood, and in an excited man
ner he asked:
Cant we find him? He seems to
be a monster, Glum and | must have
shot at him
Paul hurried in the trail of the
bear, and dreamed not of danger.
Suddenly there came from beneath
his feet a loud cracking sound like
the report of battery of artillery
fired in unison, and the great ice foe
on which he stood began to tremble
and rock
Dumb with amazement he stood and
trembled with some unknown dread.
1t was several seconds before Paul
comprehended his danger, and then
it was too late. The ice foe with it's
glittering spires had parted from the
shore and was drifting out to sea.
Already it was too far for him to
reach the land on which his compan.
ion stood wringing his hands In
despair.
A terrible death seemed staring
him in the face, when a new danger
arose. On his ears there burst
fierce growl, and looking up on an
elevated portion Of the ice foe rapid.

he beheld a monster polar bear glar-
ing at him with the fiery eyes Of rage
and hate.

The stout belle of other days
Bid them all come in to see,
Show her to advantage-why?
Some one with the price may be
Looking for a chance to buy.
Stand hor up there where the crowd
May behold her at her best;
Let the roue be allowed
To examine with the rest;
Let the fragrance Of the rose
On her bosom lend its charm
Even unto hin--who knows?
He has millions! Where's the harm
Take her innocence away,
Teach her all that women learn,
Where You lead her from to-day
She may never more return!

Show her where the future lies;

She Is entered for the prize.

view DGVlCG.
The measurements invented by M.
Bertillon for the Identification OF GRIM
inals have been extended by the sys-
tenn of finger-mark identification,
which is based ON the Bertillon con-
tention that the lines on the skin OF
the finger tip do not alter, says the
New York World If the skin be-
comes worn away the lines will repeat
themselves. This method of recogni-
ton is used in England, in Cairo.
Dresden, Vienna and Buenos Ayres.
1t is simpler than the older method
of bodily measurements. A metal
plate is covered with liquid black
pigment and the finger tip is pressed
on to it. The finger marks are mag
nified and the lines counted. Then
the compartments are examined and
if card is found with the same marks
the identity of the person is settled.
Any ordinary policeman can take the
impression.
