FISH STORIES

Ono evening during the summer Of
1855 some men we're gathered at the
intersection of Wilkes and Fairfax
streets in this city enjoying their
pipes and relating their experience
during the day, when one Of the party
wI,o was employed in Washington.
said he saw something extraordinary
carly IN the morning while on the
ferry steamer City Of Alexandria.
A huge buck sturgeon was among
the freight on the boat which one
OF he passengers discovered had I
glass eye Several bystanders drew
near and upon close inspection 1t
was seen that the sturgeon had in
some way lost the sight of one of
its optics and glass eye was over
the ball. This has stood all these
years as the greatest fish story in
the Old Dominion, but it seems Alex
%nd"ia is about to lose the belt.
\ correspondent at Roxbury, Va.
says;
~ happy crowd of young men went
ont 10 the Chickahominy Monday
night after the finny tribe, and was
rewarded by catch Of seventy fine
catfish ard two dozen cells. While
VOTING Rosscr Provoo was getting the
hook CIT of large eel, which meas
urcd six feet long it wrapped ltSel1
around the arms of the young man.
encircllng the whole body, and so
fight was. it drawn that the arms
Of Young Provoo were pinioned to his
side. Ir trying to free himself oil inc
monster eel he fell into the river
Had il not been for nearby TRENDS

While he is an expert swimmer he VISA

helpless.

DID THEY SEE A
SUBMARINE?

That German submarine launched
torpedo at the Anchor liner Tran
sylvania on Sunday while the steam
ship, with 879 passengers on board,
was blowing through British waters
toward Greenock, Scotland, is the be-
lief of some of the passengers. Cap
tain Black told several passengers he
had seen nothing of the submarine
they believed they had sighted.
After reading the story told by
Several passengers pm the steamer to
the effect that they saw Il submarine
and a torpedo discharged by it pass
forty yards astern of the Transyl-
vania, there seemed reason to believe
that the "eye witnesses" were mis-
taken, and that having dreamed Of
submarines all the way across the
the Atlantic, a porpoise or shark
was likely to be taken as one of the
much-Clleadcd destroyers. At any
rate, the captain and lookoutmen, with
the use of binoculars, say they saw
no evidences Of submarines.
The passengers further stated that
the captain of the Pennsylvania Gig
Jagged" his ship and escaped the
deadly missile. The absurdilty of
this IS auuarent for many reasons.
The "zigzagging" Of Il large passen-
ger ship is impractical, and had such
a course been rcsortcd to it would not
have saved the steamer from torpc-
does.
In the oldcn times, when many
people believed in sea scrpcnts, il
was generally passengers who got
glimpscs of these fabulous monsters
Of the deep. not the officers and crews
who we're always on watch.

DIFFICULT ROAD.

TIC Italian Parliament meets to-

future attitude toward the war in
Europe will be the most important
subject to be discussed Italy is on
the brink of revolution, ard King
Victor will need all the tact, as well
as iirmness, that he has displayed
in the past to maintain his own
throne. Bound as he is by his per-
sonal pledge to the German and to
the Austrian Emperors, ne is now
confronted with the choice Of break
ing his word and yielding to the de-
,nand of an uncomfortable clement
of his people or of keeping his royal
word and risking his own existence.
A declaration of war from Italy
is at this moment of far more vita!
concern to the German government
than is the possibility of a rupture
( of diplomatic relations with the Unit
ed States. War with Italy means
real war, for the italian army has
been for months ready to take the
held at Il moments notice. War with
this country will be little more than
a declaration of hositilities which

suggestion from Secretary Bryan as
