An amusing and detailed account Of a
norman seen IN the Atlantic, written
apparently in good faith, ends with the
following description Of the monster,
which may possibly have been a seal
or a sea lion. "That monster Is about
eight feet long, his skin is brown and
.awny, without any scales, all his mo-
tions are like those of men, the eyes
are a proportionable size, a little
mouth. a large and Fat nose, very
white teeth, black hair and chin COW
cred with a messy beard, a sort Of
whiskers under the nose, the ears like
those Of men, fins between the fingers
Of his hands and feet like those Of
ducks. In word he is a well shaped
man. Which is certified to be true
by Captain Oliver NORM and John
Martin, pilot, and by the whole crew,
consisting Of two-and-thirty men," Gan

Treyoux." The monster was mention
ed in the Gazette Of Amsterdam oct.

Although the beginning Of the "cylin-
der Of civilization" as It has been
called, can be traced back to the Eliza
bethan era, 1t is only about seventy
or eighty years ago that the top hat
Of the present day reached its final
shape. Since then 1t has altered slight
" In the dimensions Of the crown and
the curl Of the brim. but the hat itself
has remained essentially unchanged
The top hat seems to have had Its be
ginning in the habit Of gallants in the
Elizabethan period Of cooking up one
side Of their broad brimmed high
crowned felt or beaver hats and secur
ing them with a jewel. The French
court later developed this into cooking
up three sides of the hat and fastening
one with loop Of ribbon. From this
fashion came the cockade, now used
only by grooms and footmen. The silk
hat Of today was born in France and
supplanted the now nearly extinct
beaver hat OF practically the same
shape. though considerably larger

Washington, Aug. 19.-The presi-

the democrats rallied to the special

all but Senators Ransdell and Thorn
ton of Louisianan standing firmly for
the administration measure, the dem
ocrats defeated the Bristow amend
ment for a compromise duty on the
Morris amendment against free sI.
gar and the Gallinger amendment
against free maple sugar.
The amendment to abolish immedi-
ately the duties on standard color
sugar was adopted during the fight.
1t was proposed by Bristow and ac-
cepted by the democratic managers
of the bill. 1t will become effective
when the tariff bill becomes a law.

report of an ultimatum demand

This information was given mem
bers OF the senate committee on for

staving off debate on the Mexican
question following the sensational
reports Of a threatened severance of
relations by the Huerta. government.
Officials hold the view that nothing
will be done by the United States at
least until Lind has concluded his
parleys with Huerta and his cabinet.
One thing which confused the sit.
uation is the fact that, only the first
part Of the Huerta note rejecting the
American proposal was received.
There was an under current Of
skapticsm among officials who are in.
clined to credit the Mexican minister
Of the interior for being responsible
for the recognition reports demanded
of the United States.
At the white house and state de.
partment the denial authorized by
Huerta was accepted. Reports fric.
ton in Huerta cabinet are current.
1t is believed in some quarters that
Huerta has practically decided to. re-.
