TAKES BIRD'S-EYE VIEW.
Sparrow Hawk Invades the Hall of
REPRESENTATIVES.

Added to the birds of queer and
variegated political plumage which
perch about the Capitol from day to
day. a sparrow hawk flew into the
House of Representatives this morn
ing, and stayed there for about two
hours before the House met.
What its ideas are concerning the
House. the pages, the engineer force,
Doorkeeper Joseph Sinnott and half a
dozen others who watched the hawk as
he sailed round and round and round in
an almost ceaseless endeavor to find a
way out again will perhaps be told in
hawk talk. under the caption "A birds
eye view of Congress"
The hawk couldn't have DISTINGUISHED
the empty House from the real thing
ANYHOW, because there is distinct alb
sence Of a large number of the nations
lawmakers.
At last very shril-voiced kid in knee
breeches sitting in one OF the galleries
yelled:
Beat It,"
The hawk was then right beneath an
open skylight. He fluttered upward about
q foot, saw the open sky above him and
sat down upon the ledge of the opening.
Then he cast q farewell look into the
House Of Representatives and determined
to resign his seat. 1t looked better to
him outside.
After that. every one went to work.

LONDON MARKET.

LONDON, October 2.-Money was IN
strong demand today. Discount rates
were marked up to meet the bank rate.
The ) per cent bank rate came as
surprise to the money market and the
stock exchange, but the appearance OF the
unfavorable weekly bank return showing
the unexpectedly large decrease of over
f4OOQOOO in the reserve made apparent
the necessity for the protective measure.
Consols declined an eighth and recovered
the loss later. but Canadian Pacific, Rio
Tintos and other Paris favorites which
had been strong early all dropped on the
increased rate and the uncertainties Of
the near east sitaution. The market
