he told her that the only time the strange
creature everybody was talking about

this afternoon, from back Of the hill in

quite out of sight as he sat in the thick
est mart of a hemlock tree. and Peter

| showing so much as the tip Of his nose
as he lay just inside the doorway Of an
old house under the roots of big stump.
Only Prickly Porky was to be seen, and

Nominations of McReynoIds
and Gregory Acted on by
Senate Committee.

The nominations of Attorney General
McReynolds to be justice of the Su-
preme Court of the United States and
Thomas Gregory to be Attorney Cen
eral were ordered favorably reported
to the Senate by the judiciary COM
mittee.
Opposition to the confirmation of
Mr. McReynolds developed when the
Senate judiciary committee first met
today After being in session for about
an hour without taking any action on
the nomination the committee took a
recess until 1890 o'clock in order to
go to the Senate chamber to aid in
making up a quorum. A favorable re-
port was afterward ordered made.

who has been keeping close on the trail
of big business. He had the New York
Central and the Lorimer cases prepared
and was ready to go to trial with them
when he was eliminated from the gov

place. Clyne, it is said, is inexperienced
and untried.

A charge has been made that Wilkin-
son was retired in order to protect big
business The nomination of Clyne is

This action, it was said, would place

Gen. Carranza expects to reach Saltillo

A report was received from Gen.

HINDER FLYING SCHOOL
Fewer Flights Made at San Diego
Navy Orders a New Winged
Boat.

Activities in Mexico have had some eff
has made at the flying school at San
Diego. During the week ending the mid
die of May there were only twenty-one
flights made by the aviation students re-
manning at the school, The total time
in the air was five hours and forty-eight
minutes. and there were seventeen pas
sengers carried. This brings the total
Of flights for the present year up to LUZ.
The navy aviation department has or
dered a new flying boat Of the Wright
type. and the Wright Company has an
nounced that the boat is ready for deliv
cry, but the Navy Department has not
yet been officially notified Of the act So
far as Is known the boat is Of the fat
bottom type with a step half way the
length OF the hull to aid it in leaving the
water.
1t is possible that the company may
take advantage Of the experiments that
have been carried on by Constructor
Richardson at the Washington navy yard
and adopt a new form of boat hull with
a deep groove in the middle Of the bot
tom This form has been proved by ex-
periments to be very much easier in land
Ing on the water and to leave the water
with less effort.
Reports have been received from the
naval aviators at Vera Cruz saying that
the navy planes have been shot at by
the Mexicans repeatedly No serious
damage has been done in these assaults,
bullet holes in the planes being the extent
Of the loss. The noise of the engine
while the machine was in flight is enough
to drown out the distant noise Of a shot
from the ground Consequently the avia-
tor does not usually know that he has
been fired on.
