Perhaps the deadliest foe of the Au~-
tralian sheep farmer is the eaglehawk,
and many and wonderful arethe con-
trivances invented for his destruction
or capture.
A correspondent at Singleton says
it is no uncommon thing for farmer
with a run of quite average extent
to lose a hundred sheep in a season
through the depredations of these car
nivorous birds "Their strength" he
writes, sis so abnormal that it is prac-
tically impossible for the sheep on
which one pounces to resist the at
tack and thei rappetite for live NUT
ton appears to be Unsuitable. They
are occasionally caught by means of a
trap attached to the carcass of a
sheep, and sometimes poisoned; but
their numbers are nevertheless con
tinually increasing.

CITIES SUPPLY THE SoLONS.
One-Half Membership of Senate and
House Come from Municipalities.

More than half the membership of
the United States senate and not
quite half of the membership of the
house of representatives in the pres
ent house come from cities and towns
with more than 10000 population. OF
the 236 members of both houses who
come from cities and towns 81 are in
the senate and 1876 in the house Of
representatives Of the senators SO
are from northern states and only 10
from the southern states, while among
the representatives 145 are from the
north and only 40 from the south. The
leadership of both the house and SEN
ate on the Republican side is largely
confined to men from the cities, while
the Democratic leadership, in the
house, especially, is divided among
men from the smaller communities.
Sectionally the states of Maryland
Kentucky and Missouri have been in
cluded among the southern states, else
the representation of that region
among the members from the cities
would be still further materially re-
duced

lawyers and only 6S belong to other
professions and avocations. Practi-

The director of the census has sent
to congress a report upon the publica-

States. The work has now been done
and parts of volumes containing the
names of heads of families for the
states of Connecticut, Maine, Massa-

PENNSYLVANIA, Rhode Island and South
Carolina have been issued. The edi-
ton for each state has been of 1000
copies and the total cost $47,122. Only
1853 copies have been sold, and as
the price was made uniformly 81 a
volume to the public, regardless Of
the expense to the government, the ac-

will cover about half the total expendi-

The first demand for the books
came from libraries, but the purchase
by private individuals has increased
steadily and the small editions will be

largest book, of 426 pages, is issued
for Pennsylvania. The years covered
are 1882, 1884 and 1885 or there.

How the Founding of the LeadviIIe
Mining Camp Was Celebrated.
"On the first day of the present
month | was a guest at one of the
most remarkable dinners ever given"
| remarked Judge A. w Rucker, the
brand new congressman from Denver.
This banquet was held 1000 feet
| below the surface of the earth In the
chamber Of a mine on the outskirts
of Leadville. The chamber, which
| had been transformed into a magnif-
cent dining room, was about forty feet
wide by seventy feet long and had a
lofty roof A kitchen had been i'm
provised and a clever chef got up a
dinner for 300 people that none of the
swell hotels of New York would have
repudiated. The guests were nearly
all 'seventy-niners,' that is to say, pio-
neers in the old days of 1879, when
Leadville's fame as greater producer
of the precious metals attracted the
attention of the world
"The feast was given in commemo-
ration of the birth of the mining
camp, and those who made merry
were the adventurous souls who
figured then.
"On the day of the function we rode
to the mouth Of the tunnel, where we
made cur descent into the bowels Of
the earth through fierce blizzard,
one of the worst I ever saw in the
West Getting in the big cage that
took us down the shaft to this queer
banquet hall far below Leadville and
the surrounding towns we landed in

storm through which the party had
come was curious in the extreme, but
it added greatly to the joyousness of
the occasion

DEN MARK.

By far the most important news
from Denmark this week is the report
that Iceland is now in open revolt
against the Danish government, and
demands complete independence. A
dispatch from Copenhagen says:
Denmark's dependence, Iceland, has
finally gone so far in it's campaign
against domination by the Copenha-
gen government that it is today prac-
tically in a state of rebellion. There
has been no actual violence, nor is a
test Of physical strength really con-
sidered likely Nevertheless, there Is
no certainty that one will be avoided.
The difference between the home
and insular governments are not of a
nature to admit readily of cOmpro-
mise. In view of the fact that two
thirds of the members of the Icelandic
althing support the demand for what
amounts almost to independence, and
that Premier Neergaard of Denmark
has told them, they will have to take
a good deal less or nothing at all, it
is evident that there is not much pros
pect of surrender on either side.
The struggle is not in its early
stages. Tie althing has already open
ly defed Denmark. The home govern
ment has always claimed the right of
appointing Iceland's chief minister,
and at present the post is held by
Premier HaffStein, a Dane. The Ice
landers announced a preference for a
choice of their own, and, when disre-
garded by Premier Neergaard, called
on Haffstein to resign. The latter re-
fused, and the althing promptly elect
ed BjOern JOnSSOn, a newspaper ed1-
tor at Rejkjavik, the Icelandic capital,
and leader of party which favors alb
solute separation from Denmark, to
the Office.
The althings action amounts to the
establishment of provisional govern
ment, which the Danes refuse abso-
lutely to recognize. Negotiations are
in progress between Copenhagen and
Rejkjavik looking toward an adjust
ment of the difficulty. Failure to eff
feet a compromise would naturally be
followed by move on Denmark S part
to enforce it's authority by the dis
patch of troops to the disaffected
island. Messages from Copenhagen
say the Danish government does not
consider this likely to become neces-
sary. No agreement, however is in
sight.
Denmark's offer to Iceland-the bill
recently laid before the rigsdag in
Copenhagen-included the following
provisions:
That Iceland should be an insepara-
BILE part of the Danish empire.
That the king of Denmark should
change his title to king of Denmark
and Danes in Iceland should enjoy
equal rights.
That the Copenhagen government
should continue to decide questions of
foreign policy and national defense,
but that the Icelanders should have
full control of home affairs.
The Icelanders are divided into
three parties-a majority in favor Of
the severing of all ties between the
island and Denmark except that of
nominal allegiance; minority which
favors absolute insular independence,
and still smaller minority which
urges acceptance of Denmark's offer.
