Miss Shaw's reelection is believed

The White Shark,

The shark Of sharks, the real man
eater" and the one most dreaded, is
the white shark. This variety reaches
a length of thirty-five feet and a
weight OF 1900 pounds. Its head is
long and fat, and the snout far over
hangs the mouth. Its six rows of teeth
are sharp as lancets and notched like
saws. Its mouth is very large. so that
one has been known to cut a mans
body completely in two at single
snap Of its cruel jaws and another to
swallow one at gulp. Near Calcutta
one Of these sharks was seen to swal-
low a bullock's head. horns and all.
From the stomach of another a bulls
hide was taken entire, and the sailor
who made the discovery insisted that
the bull had been swallowed whole
and all except the hide had been di-
gested. From the stomach of another
was taken a lady's workbox filled with
the usual contents. scissors and all. 1t
is commonly the white shark which
follows the vessel at sea day after day
and week after week.

END NOT IN: SIGHT
Congress Will Not Adjourn
Until Reciprocity Vote.
National News Association

Washington. June 6.-Representa-
tive Korbly, CT Indiana, is the authori-
ty for the statement that it will be
the policy of the house leaders to hold
the senate IN session until the senate
finance committee reports house bills
covering the free list and other reduc
tions of tariff duties and the senate
affords an opportunity to vote on
them. korbly himself. believes this
will insure the prolongation of the
session far into the fail. Other men,
bers of the house, interviewed today,
did not as a rule share the views OF
Korbly. They think OF the house
to the senate it will have discharged
it's full duty before the country and
the country will know where to place
the responsibility for failure to act
in the senate. 1t is the opinion in
the senate that the free list and other
tariff bills coming over from the
house will never be reported out of
the senate comittee. The predictions
as to the date of the adjournment OF
congress vary from a date not earlier
than August 1 to September l. The
senate will probably not reach vote
late in July. 1t is generally believed
the bill will ultimately pass, although
| it is admitted the president probably
complicated matters and added to the
delay by his speech in Chicago.
