The-question whether the whale really swallowed Jonah and that the version we have is not merely an alle gorical fish story is-now being dis cussed ta New York - where a noted preacher " who took the alleeorical side started it. Another preacher supports the scriptural version with a story about a French sailor who was swallowed by a whale and thrown up three, days afterwards We donbt this, for we dc-not think a modern sailor'wonld sit well on tbe whale s stomach that long. Dr. Ruiz, a citizen of the United States, in prison in Guanabacoa, was found dead in his cell and the Span iards say he committed suicide. Pos sibly this is so, although his death is said to be the result of brutal treat ment. If one-half be true about the brutality of the treatment of persons in Cuban prisons, it would not -be surprising that some of them should commit suicide tor escape it. Ruiz was some years ago a dentist in Philadelphia. The New York Times publishes an editorial under the heading "If Wash ington Came Back." It then goes on to tell the. lots of things that Washington would see, all of which' is so. But if Washington came back, our opinion is that, tbe way things are running now, he wouldn't tarry long. The Colorado Legislature is buck ing up to the high hat question with a vim. It has passed a bill which graduates the fines from $10 to $50, in proportion to the altitude of the hat, and confiscates tbe hat. It is surprising to us that some solon didn't offer an amendment to confis cate the woman. They have a new, explosive in England called "cordite." Recent experiments with a sample of 1,400 pounds rattled the country for ten miles around.shattered walls.snapped and tangled telegraph wires and caused the natives to think a volcano was doing some erupting. It looks as if Peru was the com ing oil territory. The oil bearing area in that country is estimated at 7,200 square . miles. In Pennsylva nia the area covers only 350 square miles.

News and Courier Special Washington, Feb. 23. In Adminis tration circles it is said that the Presi dent will not attempt to fill the vacant Judgeship in North Carolina, because he does not believe tbe appointment would be confirmed by the Senate. From the same source it is learned that if tbe coir ditions were more favorable Walter E. Faison. now" Solicitor for the Depart ment of State, would be the nominee. Mr. Faison has been favorably men tioned in this connection by Secretary Olney, and it is understood the Secre tary has nrged the President to give the Senate an opportunity to pass upon the name ot Mr. Faison. Notwithstanding the general belief that no appointment will be made during this administration, the corridors are filled to-dav with the rival Democratic aspirants for the office. A delegation arrived here to-day from Wilmington to urge the appointment of Mr. Rountree. They encountered a bustling delegation here to press the rival claims of the son of State Senator B. F. Aycock and De Witt Ste venson. The hustlers could ex tract but little encouragement from the interview they had with oeuaiors uuuer ana fritchard. Senator Butler frankly informed his visitors that he has no lnflmtfirn with . Vrmm A m Cleveland, and Senator Pritchard was non-committal, gently preferring to have au uDnoriiiniiv to nestnw tn nn7 nnnn some one in political sympathy with U1IU. There has been some onmin a tn ih possibilitv of the Gen. Ransom or Ex-Senator Jar via There a d Dears to he nn fnnnrtarinn i- the rumor, so far as these two eminent rxortn Carolinians are concerned. Representative Turner ' nf arnnri,; suggested the name of Representative Woodard to the Preair1nr hut th nn.. tion was at once raised whether be cin oe confirmed or not before March 4th. Mr. Woodard baa Itl'nv avarm n..,nnnl friends in the Senate, but it is doubtful whether the Republicans are willing to yield np anything in the nature of Fed eral patronage so tempting as a district judgeship. The only Republican who - has ap peared in the field thus far is ex Judge Hezekiah Gadeer. who is a A fitanf rla. tive of the late Senator Vance. Judge Gudger was until recently an assistant attorney or law clerk in the Department of Justice.- The name of Gnvrmnr Russell has also bee friend of the Governor stated that there is no authority for the use of tbe latter's name in connection with the Judgeship, BIG MONEY ON CHICKENS. The Cooking Main Whioh ta ta Beam at the Ten-mile Hill Pita To-day. News and Courier, 24th Beginning to-day and lasting until Friday night one of the largest cocking mains ever held in this State will be in progress at the Ten-mile Hill pits. The contest will be between the finest bred birds of Atlanta and Athens, Georgia. The birds will be fought during tbe en tire day and some lively events are promised. The birds will be foueht for $100 a fight and f 1,000 on the odd. There are many levers of this class of sport in Charleston, and some of the finest breeds of game cocks are owned in this city. Tbe bie main has brought the chicken owners of Georgia across tbe line in large numbers, and they have brought their money with them. A large contingent of Cbarlestonians will visit the scene of the contest every day. There will be plenty of betting done, and the Athenians and Atlantians will all have their greenbacks with them on the spot. The bird owners of Charleston and the neighborhood think that the event will prove tbe ereatest of its kind held n this vicinity for many years. FUNERAL NOTICE.
