COX’S BEAR STORY. The New York Representative Meets a Grizzly in Yellowstone Park. “In the Yellowstone park,” said Representa- tive Cox toa Stam reporter, “the prophesy of the Bible about the lion and the lamb lying together is paralelled, if not fulfilled. If the lion and the lamb don’t lie together at least the bear and the swine sup together, and all the animal kingdom and man are on fairly friendly terms. The hunted beasts outside the border of the reservation seek its security, and when they feel the protection of the govern- ment thrown around them cease their head- long speed and breathe in the fresh air of freedom. I can’t tell how they know it; they can’t read the posters that are struck up about warning hunters, but they somehow realize that the arm of the government is thrown around them when they get into the national park, THE GRIZZLY AND THE PIGs. “When Mrs, Cox and I were at aninn, or stopping place for visitors in the park, they told us of a big bear that came down every evening just before sunset to eat the swill that was thrown out to the hogs, The hog pen was about a mile back of the house in the woods, and this bear would come down every day to eat the swill and would go away content with- out eating any of the hogs or little pigs. As he did not leave much food for them, poset they never got fut enough for his taste. While we were at dinner they told us that the girl who was waiting on the table had met the bear in the path near the pen. She was carryin; basket of clothes from wash. She had the clothes on her head. She said was not afraid, but Isuppose she was a modest girl, for she dropped her clothes and ran, Mrs. Cox and I had a suspicion that they were fooling us, but if there was a bear we wanted to see it. IN QUEST OF BRUIN. “ ‘What time does it come down?’ I asked. “ ‘About 8 o'clock,’ they replied. The sun doesn’t go down until after 9 o'clock. So my wife and I went out by the hog pen to see the bear. Sure enough we met him in the woods— a great big fellow. He gave a side glance atus and shufiled off as ifhe were about to run away. We were about twenty yards from him and quickened our Oe to advance on him, He suddenly changed his mind about running and we changed our minds also, He turned toward us and growled, I remarked to Mrs. Cox that as she was getting fat and could not walk as fast as formerly it would be just as well if she'd turn back toward the hotel. Then I modestly followed, She could waik faster than I thought she could.” AN HONEST OPINION. A New York ex-Congressman Favors Washington for the World’s Fair. New Yorkers are not all so much for New York that a disinterested and honest opinion may not be expressed once in awhile. Ex-Rep- resentative Archie Bliss of New York was in the city today and was not afraid to express him- self about the proposed world’s fair. “I am for Washington,” he said toa STAR reporter. “There is no other place as suit- able for the world's fair as here and here it should beheld. But, I tell you, you folks have got to look out. You must be doing something. That is a very strong combination in New York end your folks have got to get to work in earnest if you want the fair. They are strong in New York, but they have to come to Con; Now, folks who want the fair in Washington must Ly to work on the ne con, who come York,” There i» no doubt that the world's fair bos, eae be here. It should be timed so as to be during September, October and November— that is the most beautiful time of year here, I am with you because this is the proper place.” HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Appropriations Asked for by President Patten—Manual Training. ‘W. W. Patten, the president of Howard university, in his annual report to the Secre- tary of the Interior asks for appropriations for the next year as follows: For industrial depart- ment, manual training school, $2,500; for salaries, $18,500; for repairs of buildings, $2,400, being the same as the aggregate of last year. President Patten says: “We attach much importance to the training of the eye, the hand and the mindin our industrial department, which all normal and preparatory students are required to attend, while the other students are encouraged to do so, We have already trained there a number of carpenters, printers and tin smiths, who have since secured good wages at their respective trad should be glad to enlarge our own operations in this respect by additional instruction and in- creased plant of tools and machinery.” Thei are 4i8 pupils in the university, of which 355 are males and 63 females. Gen. Clarkson’s Opinion. Postmaster Lewis at Atlanta, Ga., has not thought the trouble over the appointment of a colored man in his office of sufficient conse- quence to make a report to the Post Office department, Acting Postmaster Gen- eral Clarkson said today, however, that he understood that the colored man was certified by the civil service commission to Postmaster Lewis and he had to appoint him. For himself he thought it impolitic to appoint a colored man to work alongside of white women. What action, if any, would be taken in the matter he did not indicate. Complaints Against Railroads. The Penusylvania railroad company, operat- ing the Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianap- olis railroad company,has filed a complaint with the interstate commerce commission against the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago rail- way company. The coupisinast alleges that the latter company in the sale of thousand- mile tickets between Louisville, Ky., and Chi- cago, Ill., does not hold the purchases to the conditions of sale printed on the ticket, such as requiring the purchaser to indorse his own name on the ticket, and properly identify him- self when he presents the ticket to the conduc- tors for use, and that thereby these tickets fall into the hands of ticket brokers or scalj causing unjust discrimination against passen- gers who have not G pea thousand-mile tickets, but have paid regular fares, A complaint has also been filed by the Chi- cago, St. Louis and Pittsburg railroad - pany against the Cleve! tional boards of trade have appointed committess to help promote the movement: Charleston chamber of pening Star, WASHINGTON, D.C., MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1889.

Alleged Inefficiency of the English Navy. VIRGINIA POLITICS. Both Parties Will Hold Conventions This Month. THE DEMOCRATIC GATHENING NEXT WEDNESDAY WILL BE THE LARGEST EVER HELD IN THR STATE—M'KINNEY THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE— MAHONE WILL BE NOMINATED BY REPUBLICANS, Special Dispatch to Tax Evenine Star. Pererspura, Va., Aug. 12.—The democratic state convention which is to meet in Richmond next Wednesday to nominate a state ticket will be the largest political body of its kind that has ever assembled in Virginia, It will be composed of 1,530 delegates elected from the different cities, towns and counties in the state. There are various speculations and con- jectures as to who will be the nominees of the convention, especially for governor. From the present outlook Col, Phil. McKinney of Farmville appears to be the strongest candi- date, though the other gentlemen who are aspiring to gubernatorial honors will go into the convention with a strong support. Among these gentlemen is Capt. Samuel Woodson Venable, a pronounced demo- crat of the Cockade city of Petersburg, whose time and efforts and counsel have always been at the service of the party. He is s thorough business man, and it is believed by his friends here that he is the most eligible man that the convention could nominat He is the father ot Hon. Edward C. Venable, democratic mem- ber of Congress from the fourth district of Virginia, whose seat is now being contested by Hon. John M. Langston. Capt. Venable was born in Prince Edward county, this state, in May, 1825, He went to California in the spring of 1849, where he remained until 1853, when he came to Petersburg to make this place his home, He has always been an active politician and democrat. He was a member of the state democratic committee for many Years, and was a delegate to the national democratic con- vention that met in Chicago in 1884 and nominated Cleveland for Presi- dent. He was the confederate army. ' est tobacco manufacturer in the United States, and is one of the wealth: est menin Petersburg. He has been, for many years, a member of the city council, and is now &@ member of that body and chairman of the city’s finance committee, His name will be presented to the convention by Dr. M. Q. Holt of Surry county, THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION will meet in Norfolk on the 22d instant, and the impression appears to be that Gen. Mahone will be the choice of the convention for gov- ernor, but whether or not he will accept the nomination remains to be seen. It is claimed by his friends that his nomination would create more enthusiasm in the state than that of any other man who could be brought before the ray od and that he would be elected. Gen. lahone, in addition to Petting the votes of his white supporters, would also get a considerable colored vote, but there is no gainsaying the fact that the general has lost a large colored following in the fourth congressional distri: where there isa wide split in the republican party. Hon. John M. Langston, one of the r ed leaders of the colored race in the south, was asked by your ¢: dent » day or two ago if the colored people of Virgini: would vote for Mahone for governor? His reply was that he (Langston) had just returned from Washington, where he had ‘been to look after matters in reference to the contest for his seat in mem me end that he was not now repared to talk on the political situation in | the state or how the colored people would vote. ‘The republicans of Petersburg will hold ward meetings to-morrow night to elect delegates to the city convention to be held on the following night, which will elect delegates to the repub- lican convention, It is not thought that the anti-Mahonites will attend these meetings, but should they do so a lively time may be ex- pected. It is quite certain that the ward meet- ings will elect jone men to the city conven- tion, Seen CAMPBELL OR NEAL? Which Will Be Nominated for Governor by the Ohio Democrats? Special Dispatch to Taz EvExine Stan. Corumsus, Ouro, Aug. 12.—Great interest in the democratic state convention, which will be held at Dayton on the 26th and 27th of the present month, is manifested by both demo- crats and republicans. While it is generally conceded that ex-Congressman Campbell is in the lead, it is admitted by his friends that he will have a pretty stiff fight on his hands.) He has the party machinery at his back, and that means not a little in an Ohio con- vention. Hon. Lawrence T. Neal is Mr. Camp- bell’s' chief ‘competitor for the honor, and if Mr. Cleveland was now President Mr. Campbell would stand no show whatever, as Neal isa tariff reformer without reserve and not far removed from full sympathy with the a ultra free traders. ernst oe cyan appearances, a majority ot foci in sympathy —— —_ and who wm ‘is nominat are the Thurmans, Congress- man Outhwaite, Gen, Powell and others.” The friends of Mr. Powell are against Campbell be- cause of his lukewarmnees in the struggle two years ago when Powell was the gubernatorial candidate. The Thurman influence will be worked for all that it is worth to make the platform emphatically tariff reform in its ing. Their main object is, to all force Mr. Campbell, who voted for Mr. Campbell to enter » campaign under such circumstances, but holding the views that the event that the convention indorses the tariff reform views adopted by the St. Louis conven- tion, which Mr. Neal had a band in preparing. 7 NEITHER OF THE COMBATANTS Was INJURED— HOW THE AFFAIR WAS FINALLY aDsUsTED— BOTH WITEDRAW THEIR STATEMENTS—THE DUELISTS MAX BE ARRESTED, Artanta, Ga., April 12.—Patrick Calhoun of this city and J. D, Williamson of Rome fought a duel near Attala, Als., Saturday evening. Neither was injured. The prominence of the parties and the circumstances leading to this affair meke it the most sensational in the south » wany years, Calhoun, who isa grand- son of John C. Calhoun, is probably the most prominent railroad attorney of the south. He is general counsel of the West Point terminal company and all of its vast system. William- son, whose home is in Rome, is president of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad company. There has been trouble and a con- tinuous fight between the railroad companies tor some time. Thursday before a committee of the legislature Calhoun Williamson with ha tried to unload his road on the Central raflroad company. W son pro- nounced this uni edly false. Freinds in- terfered and nothing more then occurred, but correspondence at once followed. Williamson refuse’ $0 make an apology. Capt. Henr; Jackson acted for houn and Mr. Jac!

In spite of ali such discouraging circumstances English naval officers console meelves with the re- flection that, with all its imperfections, their navy 1s still superior to that of any other na- tion. It is noticeable, however, that there is a cessation of articles reminding the people of the United States how easy it would be for a British fleet to slip over and bombard New York in case of repetition of the Behring sea “outrages.” —— JOHN L.
