EULOGIES OF GORMAN
ADDRESSES BY HIS LATE ASSO-
GATES IN THE SENATE.

The business of the Senate was suspended
yesterday afternoon as mark of respect
to the memory of the late Arthur Pue Cor
man of Maryland. and senators spoke In
eulogy of Mr. Germans public and private
life
Senator Rayner, the first speaker, pre-
sented resolutions expressing the profound
sorrow of the Senate at the death of Mr..
German. He reviewed the senator's life
and paid high tribute to his characteristics
both as a private citizen and public serv-
ant.
Senator Aldrch of Rhode Island, who
was to have spoken, being called from the
chamber, Mr.. Kean of New Jersey read his
remarks. The statement prepared by Mr..
Aldrich, after reviewing Mr. Germans pub
lie services, says:
This record of successful political lead
erslIip in many fields has hardly a parallel
in the history of the country. Mr.. Cor
mans supremacy in this respect never sur
prised those who knew him best, those who
had the most thorough understanding and
appreciation of his qualities of mind and
heart. He was wise, skilled and resource
full, and his genial presence and magnetic
personality at once inspired confidence and
secured allegiance"
Euogies were delivered by Senator'S ALL
son of Iowa, Clay OF Georgia. Hale Of
Maine, Cullom Of Illinois. Blackburn of
Kentucky, Frye of Maine. Spooner of Wis
consin, Overman of North Carolina, Elkins
of West Virginia, Carmack of Tennessee.
Tillman of South Carolina and Whyte OF
Maryland.
Senator Frye spoke of the charges of cor
rupt practices made against Mr.. German as
a political leader, and said that he did not
believe them to have the least foundation
in fact. He did. however. regard him as
political manager of rare skill, and he
gave to the Maryland senator credit for the
success Of Mr.. Clevelands campaign
against Mr.. Blaine, much of which. he
thought, was due to the prompt advantage
taken by him Of the famous rum. Roman

coaling station, these vessels will come to

The speaker then gave a number of sig
nificant facts illustrating the saving in
time, mileage and money the opening of
the canal will mean for shipping. He
stated that more than 1000 miles will be
saved in going from San Francisco to Liv-
erpool and more than 5000 miles from the
former port to New York.
Senator Perkins also predicted that the
ships in the future will be twice as large
as the largest ones at present. He ventured
the opinion that the liners will become
from 800 to 1000 feet in length and will
be from 80 to 80 feet wide, and will have
tonnage of from 10000 to 10000 tons.
The present mammoth ocean liners Will
look like yachts alongside them. Trade
demands the big change in the construction
of ships, he said. He closed his address
by describing the rich mineral deposits of

FIGHT BETWEEN ELKS.

Leadership Or she Herd.

Alberta correspondence FOrPa and Stream.
Yesterday afternoon my cousin and were
on our way back from the buffalo range when
al we were riding along the road we saw a
man standing near the fence looking through
IL into the enclosure for the moose and elk
and evidently very much Interested in what
he saw We stopped to see what he was
looking at. and when we reached the point
where we could see there. not six feet from
the fence. wis a huge bull elk. Not far from
the bull but partly hidden by the bushes we're
several COWS.
The bull was walking up and down whis-
Ting. screaming and making a number OF
very extraordinary noises. lie was greatly
excited and his eyes we're staring and blood
shot Presently we noticed that every time
he whistled another whistle answered in the
distance and that this whistle kept growing
louder. II came nearer and nearer. until we
could hear some animal crashing through the
bushes, and a mOment later another huge
bull elk walked out into the little opening.
The one near the fence rushed toward the
newcomer, which at first had no courage to
await the charge. The first bull did not
follow him far but came back and continued
to walk up and down whietiing, and presently
the other bull returned. when he was again
charged and again ran away. This happened
three times. and then the newcomer seemed
TO screw his courage to the the fighting point.
and the two charged each other and came
together At a run. their antlers clashing
loudly as they met. The man who had been
watching them took out his watch and timed
them. and for thirty-hve minutes they fought
with great fury. They seemed very evenly
matched aud for the most part simply pushed
head to head. though once OF twice one pushed
the other back little way OF twisted him
about In the effort to reach point from which
he could thrust his horns into the other side
When this happened the one that was being
turned would tump nlmby back and get q
fresh grip with his horns.
Not long after the night began an interested
sVect ator appeared on the scene in the shaps
OF a young bull. He came out Of the bushes
and stood watching the battle. but every time
the fighting pair worked over toward him the
young bull turned and trotted of.
The fight WAS the most thrilling thing ever
saw. and it seemed hardly Ave minutes before
back, turned and tried to run away. but slipped
a little, and in a second the other had knocked
him down with his horns. ] saw the con-
quPror jump on the victim. and we ed for
found that the victor had gone away and the
other was dying. point of the ant'er had
passed through his windpipe.
We rode on a little further and saw the VIC
torious elk standing in an open space with
were covered with blood, and the prong OF
one of them Was broken. His mouth was
open, his tongue hanging out, and his eyes
were bloodshot. He presented quite a hOrEi;,
AZ soon a. he saw us he rushed toward us but
brought up against the fence. Then he would
retire and charge the fence again and again
the bushes, the big DuIl dashed after him and
chased him away.
