At the annual session of the ladies' branch of the Society fcr *he Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on Wednesday, Keeper Shannon, of the Zoo, will receive a gold medal for his bravery in entering a cage containing two hyenas, and preventing one of them from choking to death with a piece of meat. On Saturday, Nov. 24, while the carnivore house was filled with visitors watching the feeding of the animals, the hyenas, which are young and unusually fierce, began to fight over the share thrown to them. Suddenly one of the brutes began to choke, and it was found that he had crunched his teeth into a bone and that the meat attached to it had partially slipped down his throat and was strangling him. Shannon grasped a scraper, opened the iron door and sprang into the cage. The hyenas made a dash at him, but he beat them back, and Head Keeper Byrne clubbod them with a broom handle. Watching his opportunity, Keeper Shannon struck the choking animal on the jaw and loosened the bone, which fell out on the floor of the cage with the meat 6till attached. The plucky keeper got out of the cage without being injured. the B. C. 1*. A What Will be Done by the New Brunswick, N. J., Jan. 38.—This city is all agog over the exposures in the public career of Howard McSherry, the lawyer who was accused of retaining large sums of money in the settlement of the business intrusted to his keeping by piano and organ firms in New York. These exposures date back to the time when McSherry was city attorney of New Brunswick, between 1880 and 1885, and charge him with the retention of taxes and fines iu a scoro of cases, some of which he was compelled to make good to avoid prosecution.

Washington', Jan. 28.—The senate, relieved of the incubus of the tariff bill, has succeeded in clearing its calendars of all necessary miscellaneous legislation and is ready now to take up half a dozen measures onj the calondar of importance second only to the tariff bill, but whose necessity was not so imminent. During the present week the senate will endeavor to dispose of the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill, the Sherman anti-trust bill, the Pacific railroad funding bill and the Chandler resolution for the investigation of the Louisiana election. Mr. Chandler's motion to strike from the Record tho speech inter[)olated by Senator Gibson after the proceedings of Wednesday will come up for consideration \Chen Mr. Gibson is in the chamber. It may cause discussion, but this is hardly likely. It is expected that Mr. Sherman will call up his anti-trust bill and try to have it disposed of to-day. Paris, Jan. 28.—Every quarter of Paris was enlivened by frequent street brawls between supporters and opponents of Gen. Boulanger. The most violent encounter took place in Montmartre, where a number of persons were wounded. The police interfered and arrested several of the ringleaders. Another serious collision occurred in the Faubourg au Temple, where several persons were injured. At several electoral meetings there were scenes of great disorder. Bands of men and lads singing the "Marseillaise" and Boulangist songs paraded the boulevards until a late hour. In the Place do la Republique and the Place de l'Opera open ah- meetings were held. Great masses of people were present, but the proceedings were, on the whole, fairly orderly, although a few individual brawls oc curred, and a number of persons were arrested.holief That Is Now lUuipaiit ill the Indianapolis, Jan. 38.— Gen. Harrison did not go to church as usual yesterday. Sunday though it was, there was a heap of business on the president-elect's mind. In the first place he has hoc! to consider the Samoan question in all its bearings, as they are likely to affect his administration, and to do his share in arranging as to the relations of Germany and this country arising out of the Samoan difficulties, a policy which the senate can lake up now with an assurance that it will meet the approval of the incoming administration, and then he has had to continue his coy wooing of William R, Allison, whom he desires to have as a member of his cabinet. This is a pretty fair average day's work for any statesmen. Of the multitude of cases exposed none have shocked the community more than a scheme which he fathered to doprive tho wife of ex-Overseer Van Fleet of $000 by alleging, while Van Fleet was on uis deathbed, that his accounts were crooked to the extent of $000, and that he, as city attorney, would settle the matter without exposure if Mrs. Van Fleet would give the cash. It was after Van Fleet's wife had made a special payment that she discovered McSheery's frauds. Her husband's accounts were found to be perfectly straight, and the lawyer was compelled to disgorge.World—Boctrires of the Sects. Brooklyn, Jail. 27.—Tho Rev Dr. T. De Witt Tulmage's sermon this morning was on "Slanders . Against Religion Answered." His text was: "And I took the little book out at the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my month sweet as honey; and as soon as I had eaten it my belly was bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again beforo many peoples, and nations, ar.d tongues, and kings."—Rev. x, 10, U. Tho reverend gentleman said: A convention of representative miners at Soottdale, Pa., decided that unless a uniform scale of $1.85 per ton was granted by Feb. 1 a general strike will be ordered. The strike will affect 30,000 men. New Jersey oystormen are vigorously protesting against a proposed legislative enactment by which the oyster grounds of the state may bo leased to individuals. Domitian, the Roman emperor, had in his realm a troublesome evangelist who would keep preaching, and so he exiled, him to a barren island, as now the Russians exile convicts to Siberia, or as sometimes the English government used to send prisoners to Australia. Tho island I speak of is now called Patmos, and is so barren fcnd unproductive that its inhabitants live by fishing. During a period of four years he was involved in crookedness in the second American loan to the extent of $4,300; in the settlement of A. C. Garland's estate, $1,000; as admimstrator for the Davidson estate in South Brunswick, $100; as counsel for the State dairy commission, $400; in retaining taxes from Eliza Ryan, $400, and in the case of Eliza bet! Downing, where taxes also had been retained, about $208.

"Y Senator Allison, accomimnied by Senator Cullom, of Illinois, arrived here soon after noon, coming direct from Washington. At the station they were met by Private Secretary Halford and John C. New. After greetings from Mr. New the two senators and Mr. Halford took a carriage direct to Gen. Harrison's house, and Mr. New and ex-Governor Kuitt, of Colorado, walked up and down the station for a half hour, in apparently important consultation. In the Pennsylvania senate, amendments to the high license law have been offered limiting the number of licenses to one for every 500 of the population j that the fees shall lie $500 for cities, $300 for boroughs, and J150 for townships; that the license may transferred in case of death; that minors must not be allowed to engage in the sale of liquors. A Member of the House Committee on Foreign Affair* Tells How We Are In- The day opened fine, and at an early hour the streets began to fill with people, the general stir and bustle increasing as the morning wore on. At noon the electors were thronging toward the 266 balloting stations. The Boulangists were everywhere, first at the voting places and displayed the greatest confidence in their success. The voters of the Faubourg St. Germain and Champs Elysees (Jjstricts were nearly all Boulangists, but the issue really depended upon the vote in the workmen's quarters, especially in the Belleville, Charonne, St. Denis and Courfevoie districts. But ono day the evangelist of whom I speak, sitting at the mouth of a cavern on tho hill sido, and perhaps half asleep under the drone of tho sea, has a supernatural dream, and before him pass, as In panorama, timo and eternity. Among the strange things that he saw was an angel with a littlo book in his hand, and in his dream tho evangelist asked for this littlo book, and the angel gave it to him, and told him to eat it up, Asia a dream things are sometimes incongruous, tho evangelist took tho littlo book and ate it up. Tho angel told him boforohand that it would bo very sweet in the mouth, but afterward ho would bo troubled with indigestion. Truo enough, tho evangelist devours tho book, ancl it becomes to him a sweotness during the mastication, but afterward a physical bittAjfcess. Who the angel was and what the  no one can toU.

Tha angel of tho church hands out this little book of evangelism, and tho antagonists of tho Christian church tako it and eat it up, and it makes them smile at first, but afterward it is to them a dire dyspepsia. terested There. Washington, Jan. 28.—"We certainly have interests in (Samoa," said a member of the house committee on foreign affairs, "but, ot course, it is a question whether we care enough about those interests to protect them. As a naval station a port in the Samoan Islands would always be of use to us, and might be invaluable. If we ever had occasion to use a fleet in the Pacific ocean it would be quite essential that we should have a coaling station and a source of supplies and a place of repair such as might be established at Pango- Pango more conveniently than anywhere else. This part of the islands is too remote to appeal strongly to the popular interest. If we ever do have any considerable merchant marine it will be on the Pacific ocoan. England, France and Germany, Sweden and Norway have possession of the Atlantic, and they will keep it, but we are the principal maritime nation on the Pacific, and we are the most advantageously situated manufacturing nation for the supplying of Australia, the Sandwich Islands, Japan, China, Siam and the straits settlements. If we are to have an export trade it will be in that direction. If we are to'have lines of American steamers rivaling the Atlantic liners they will run from our Pacific ports to Australia, Sandwich Islands, New Zealand, Japan and China. These are voyages of long distances. In round numbers, it is 2,000 miles from San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands, and 4,000 from there to New Zealand, with the Samoan Islands just half way. There is a tolerably fair opening in the islands for American capital, but the islands would be most serviceable, and, I am inclined to think, essential to lines of merchant steamers, partly on account of the local traillc they would soon afford and partly qs depots of supply. It will make all the differ, ence in the wor|d to any merchant marine interests we acquire in the Pacific, and we already liave a good start in that direction, whether these islands were in the absolute control of Germany, eager to build up colonies a;ui pteaniship lines, or not. The special committee having charge of legislation relating to the Pacific railroads will doubtless report to the senate on the amendment to the funding bill offered by Mr. Mitchell. This amendment would brmg under the conditions of the bill now pending in the senate the Central Pacific railroad. Relatives and friends made restitution ir nearly every case, and in some chattel mortgages on his household furniture were giver to satisfy determined victims. A circular is published urging those who favor the prohibitory amendmont in Pennsylvania to withhold their support from the contion called for Feb. 5 by A. A. Stevens, of Tyrone. It is urged that a recognition of the Prohibition party would defeat the amendment.A NEW DEPARTURE. Senators Cullom and Allison were loaded with business, and no time was lost after they leached the house. They had a light and hasty luncheon, and then went at once into ■executive session with the president-elect. Even Elijah was barred out. Gen. Harrison and the senators remained closeted until nearly 0 o'clock, when Senator Cullom returned to the hotel for supper. THE SAMOAN QUESTION. How the PuMHSfl of a Proposed Bill Will Senator Hale has given notice that he will call up the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill now on the calendar at an early day. This will postpone the consideration of the funding bill. As the appropriation bill 3ontains the two amendments relating to Samoa it will bring the Samoan question before the senate for discussion for the first time since the trouble.bcgan brewing, and the del»te on these two amendments, as it is likely to take the direction of criticism and defense of the course of the secretary of state, will doubtless occupy the attention of the senate during all of the weok. Affect the Government* of Jeriey City At the outbreak of the rebellion William Nash loft his young wife at Clifford, N. Y., to go to the front. Learning, as she believed, of his death, she again became a wife a quarter of a century ago. Now, she being the mother of a grown up family, and a grandmother as well, husband No. 1 has showed up, finding her living happily at Waterbury, Conn, She will apply for a divorce from the first husband. and Newark. Jerset City, Jan. 28.—The form of government of this city and Newark will be revolutionized if the bill now in the hands of Senator Edwards is adopted in its present fonn. The bill does not disturb the aldermen, who are elected, nor the commissioners of education, who are appointed by the mayor. It organizes new departments, wipes out some of the old and reorganizes the others. The mayor's powers are increased, as he is given authority to appoint the members of all boards except the aldermen. It takes from the aldermen the authority to grant liquor licenses, and creates a board of excise of three commissioners, who dVe to receive $1,000 salary. They, too, appoint a license inspecton, w'ao is to act the role of detective and see that the state laws and city ordinances are enforced. The botrd of finance and taxation appointed by the aldermen is legislated out. A board of tax commissioners is created, who act as assessors and commissioners of appeals. The board of finance is to consist of the tax collector, comptroller, city treasurer and the presidents of the board of tax commissioners aqd the board of street, sewer and water commissioners. The board of public works is abolished, and in its stead three commissioners, to constitute a board of street, sewer and water commissioners, are to be appointed at a salary of $2,500 each. They are to perform the functions of the present street commissioner and aqueduct commissioners. Among other things predicted by the Boulangists is the immediate fall of the Floquet ministry, the dissolution of parliament, and a general election in March. They also forecast a rupture in the Radical party and express the belief that forty Radical deputies will join the Boulangist ranks and thus give the general a following of sixty members in the present chamber. From him it was learned that a principal subject of the conference had been the foreign relations of the government and especially the Samoan difficulty. Senator Cullom has always been anxious for the government to keep u stiff upper lip, and, though he refused to say what had taken place during the afternoon, he evidently had no idea that there would be any backing down when Gen. Harrison became president. Joseph Demmy (colored) was found guilty of murder in the second degree for shooting Policeman Miller at Pittsburg, Sept. 3, 1888. The prefect of police enlisted the services of a large number of householders to aid the police in maintaining order. Troops were held in readiness at various points, and cavalry were ordered to patrol the streets and disperse all gatherings. Municipal guards lined the boulevards, and in every quarter the police and military were prepared to suppress an outbreak. It is possible that the appropriation committee will report the legislative appropriation bill which is now under consideration in the committee, but it win not be called up for action until the coming week. Governor Beaver is on a visit to Maryland, He was splendidly entertained at Annapolis by Governor Jackson. As to the cabinet, Senator Cullom simply declined to have anything to say, beyond the J'act that he knew that Senator Allison could go into it if he wanted to. Frank Allon, John Harrison and James Clark, alleged counterfeiters, are in jail at Reading, Pa. AFFAIRS IN THE HOUSE But will he?" was asked. The house is all at sea. It will take two or three days to finish the sundry civil bill. If the opportunity occurs Mi-. Clardy will present the conference report on the Nicaragua canal bill, which is expected to give rise to an animated debate. Nearly 4,000 hogs were burned to death in an abbatoir fire at Hoboken, N. J. THE REASONS WHY CREEDS ABE NECESS.UIV, "1 can say nothing as to that," was all the reply that the Illinois senator would make. The polls closed at 6 p. m. The attendance of voters was unprecedantedly large, but perfect quiet prevailed. Few police were seen on the streets, nearly all being held in reserve, but the whole force was ready to act in cose of necessity. , All intelligent people have creeds—that is, favorite theories which they Iju-o adopted. Political creeds — that is, about tariff, about finance, about flfcl service, about government. Social creeds—that is, theories about manners and custom* and good neighborhood. creeds—that is, theories about tapestry, about bric-a-brac, about styles of ornamentation. Religious creeds—that is, theories about tho Deity, about the soul, about the great future. Tho only being who has no creed about anything is the idiot. This scoffing against creeds is always a sign of profound ignorance on tho part of tho scoffer, for ho has himself a hundred creeds in regard to other things. In our time the beliefs of evangelistic churches aro under a fusillade of caricaturo and misrepresentation. Men set up what they call orthodox faith, and then they rako it with tho musketry of their denunciation. They falsify what tho Christian churches believe. They take evangelical doctrines and set them in a harsh and repulsive way, and put them out Of tho association with other truths. They are like a mad anatomist, who, desiring to tell what a man is, dissects a human body and hangs up in one place tho heart, and in another place the two lungs, and in another place an ankle bone, and says that is a man. They are only fragments of a man wrenched out of their God-appointed. He had not intended to leave the city until the 11 o'clock train for Springfield, but at supper he met President Hammond, of the Indianapolis, Decatur and Western road, and was invited to accompany him in a trip the president was to make over that line in his «pecutl car. He accepted the invitation, and clipped away at 7 o'clock. Mrs. William James, mother of ex-Postmaster General Thomas L. James, died at Utica, N. Y., aged 82 years. Mr. Blanchard, who has the river and harbor bill under control, is anxious to have it disposed of, and he will watch his opportunity to push it. Unless he can get it up this week he will move next Monday to take it up and pass it under suspension c# rules, Augustus R. Cazauran, who is widely kpown as one of the most mccessfnl playwrights of his day, died at Net/ York. Before midnight the complete returns were announced, This was the result: Boulanger, 244,070; Jacques, 162,520; Boule, 16,700; other candidates, 18,858; Boulanger's plurality, 10,- 358; Boulanger's majority, 54,432. There appears to be it strong sentiment in the New York legislature in favor of revising the laws concerning newspaper libel. Senator Allison had remained at Gen. Harrison's house, and in close conference with him, presumably upon the cabinet, as the Sanuuin matter had been fully discussed before Senator Cullom lef t. It was said late last night that Senator Allison would remain bere to-day. He stupjxxl at the Harrison hou.-o all night. The election cai-es—Smalls vs. Elliott and Sullivan vs, Felton—aro on the speaker's table, and Mr, Crisp desires to call them up this week. Boulanger will resign the Seine seat, retaining that for the Nord department, Secretary Fail-child Had another consultation Wjtli tho collector and other customs officials at New York, and it was definitely decided that another batch of removals from the appraiser's stores will be made. It is rumored tliat M, the governor Qf the Bank of France, will be asked to form a cabinet. The action of the house last Saturday In giving the committee on foreign affairs the privilege of reporting at any time the senate Panama resolution, with tnree hours for debate, may precipitate a debate on tho general foreign policy of the government, which, instead of consuming three hours, may continue three days. M#t McGrcary says that he will bring the matter up during the week. Gen. Boulanger spent tlie evening at the Cafe Durand, where he was informed by friends of the results in the divisions. Tho streets at midnight were thronged with poople excitedly discussing the upshot of the election. The newspaper offices were then displaying the returns by means of illuminated placards. The boards of police commissioners and fire commissioners are to be reorganized. Each is to be composed of three members, at a salary of $1,000 each. The mayor, comptroller aud two citizens, to be appointed by the mayor, are to compose the sinking fund commission. The mayor appoints the corporation counsel and attorney. The power of the mayor is further increased by conferring upon him tha right to veto tho act of any board. Philadelphia, Jan. »'8.—A youth of 10, who has been identified as Matthew I randy, was stabbed through the heart a.id killed by Harry Endy, aged 10. Tho police say that Endy and his brother Coorge, aged 11 years, were walking down Callowhill street, near Broad, when they wore accosted by a crowd pf boys, who wanted to renew a quarrel one of their number had with George on Friday. Harry interfered in behalf of his brother, and was striking a boy smaller than himself when a crowd of young men, among whom was the dead boy, ran up and told Endy to desist, whereupon the latter drew a jack knife and plunged it into Handy's left breast. With the exclamation "I om stabbed," Ciandy foil iuto fhe arms of a bystander and died. Endv fled, but was arrested at his home while hiding behind some old rubbish in the cellar. Murdered lDy 1 toy*, There is no longer any question that the treasury department has been offered to Senator Allison, and that up to yesterday he had declined to accept it. Thero is scarcely less doubt that he will accept either that or the state department before he loaves Gon. Harrison's house. The fact that tho foreign relations of tho government were the first things spoken of at the conference lewis coior to the story that Allison is to take the state department and that the treasury w ill go to New Yor'c after all. At any rate, it is clear that if Allison goes into the cabinet at all hp *viil be, except the president, tin* leading spirit of the administration. "But them is a very widespread and deep seated opposition among illir people to the acquisition of any dependencies. Tilers is no room in our political system for them. You can't make territories, much less .-.rates, out of them, aud when we have interve ned in any such case as that of Germany aud Samoa it has always been in a very platoujc manner. It is on account of this opposition to dependencies that Grant's projected annexation of Han Domingo failed, and that all of Seward's projects except except that of Alaska failed. Seward was trying to buy up all the outlying real estate that was hi the market." TALK OF AN EXTRA SESSION The general's electoral organization was perfect. His followers everywhere were instructed to maintain order, otherwise they injure him. The excitement grew at 8 o'clock, when the returns showed Gen. Boulanger's majority to be 5,000 in the St Denis district, and that he had polled three times mora votes than his opponent in tho Eighth arrondissemont. The members of Jthe government are astounded at the result. Bets are freely offered that the ministry will resign. The fact that the Mills bill, with the senate substitute. was sent to the ways and mean? committee, lias revived, in Republican cij-cletj at least, the talk of an extra session. The Republicans accept the reference as an assurance that no tariff legislation will be had this congress. They say that some reduction of the revenue is desirable and necessary, and this can be reached only by an extra session. Mr. McKinley, who has heretofore been rijther adverse to an extra session, voiced the sentiment of the yonservatjye element wl)M} he said that the vote of reference had done more to make likely an extra session than any* thing else in tho past six weeks.

Truce* of Gold and Oil Discovered by Prospector*. The cabinet held a special meeting last night, in -view of the result of the Heine election, and remtinwl in session from 11 o'clock until 1 this morning. Premier Floquot informed President Carnot that the ministry was prepared to resign if the president thought such action advisable. Several ministers advocated the reconstruction of the cabinet on a broader basts. President Carnot awaits conferences with various members of the cabinet before giving his decision. To-day the cabinet is summoned to meet at the ministry of the interior. Waterbury, Jan. 28.—Thero is great excitement in this town over the discovery of oil in the well which was started in Southbury last summer.

There is every reason to believe, short of an official announcement, that before Mr. Allison goes back to Washington he will accept absolutely the presidentelect's offer of the treasury department. The Iowa senator came here undecided whether he would go Juttto the cabinet or not. He was willing to look at the question squarely :and to yield, if necessarj his personal preference for a senatorial career to Gen.
