o'clock in the morning he commenced
to demolish the partition. He soon
tore it into splinters, and at once at

animals in the menagerie were howl

the attendants hurried to the scene of
battle. The two male animals We're at
each others threats, while the lioness
was crouching in corner growing.
Duke made short work of his antag

done had laid open his flank and torn
out his windpipe. The attendants OBJ

Seeing that his opponent was dead,

his cage, and throughout the day
showed no symptom Of any unusual
excitement The value of the animals

discussion with the exception Of a short
speech for free hides by Mr.. Perkins q
New York.
The urgent deficiency bill was being
considered under the general debate or
der and Mr.. Littaeuer Of New York, In
charge Of the bill; set the pace by
pointing out the failure Of the legisla-
lion Of last year to curb heads OF de-
partments in their demands for deh-
cheney supplies. He explained the
more stringent measure recommended
in the bill and said that several re-
quests for money had been refused by
the committee.
The one specific illustration Of the
need for reform which was cited was
the appropriation Of $2,615 for a por-
trait Of Attorney General Knox which
Attorney General Moody had paid out
Of the contingent fund Of the depart
ment Of justice and for which the biz
makes provision,
Under the new limitations this use q
the contingent fund will not be permit
