A BIG SEA LION ESCAPES.]! PANIC IN A PARK ROW ANIMAL STORE. MBB*f BUTU*B" BITBS A MAN BADLY BBVOBB BF.I O FO?C**D BACK IttTCI HIS CtOK. " Old Ben Butler" lost his liberty several weeks ago and yesterday be lost bis temper with a ven ?reanoe. The Pfcc-fle Ocean never roared around t more famous sea lion t>han " Old Ben." For rears he had been thc biggest sea lion on Seal Rocks, near San Francisco, where thousands of people have seen him ruling over his little " Salt Lake City" with majestic law and tremendous lusks and big paws. Agents for menageries by seores tried in vain to capture the- old fellow. Enough money was sunk in attempting to snare Ute old beast to set up a big menagerie of ordi? nary animate. But ? Ben" was sly; he had cut his eye teeth and several tusks besides. Fur? thermore, he had the protection of the inhabitants of the coast. Last year a psrty of men went out in a little boat to catch " Ben," but some men employed at the Surf House, which is opposite thc Seal Rocks, fired at them and they returned without delay. The Reiche Brothers, of the animal store at No. 05 I'ark row, made np their minds to get ? Ben." Their agents succeeded in lassoing him several weeks ago, after an interesting struggle. ? Ben's" wrath was terrific and it took the united restraint of a strong travelling box, in which he was oon fined, and seven of his wives to keep him in check. " Ben" was sullen on his trip to this city, and when he arrived Rt Hoboken a week ago last thursday he was cross enough to be responsible for .lie blizzard. He was fed on Uta. Hermann Reiche says that ? Ben" would ojien a mouth that h lion would res*x*ct. When the fish were thrown to him lie would grab at them and shake them ss a bull dog dosi raw meat. One day ? lien" was unusually hun _ ry. The coachman. George, who is a negro, brushed against ? Ben's" cage. ? Hen" had never seen a negro before, and lie ituck his tusks into George's leg so viciously that he brought blood. A I.IVF.I.Y TIMF IV TIIK STOItE. Yesterday morning u Bm" was brought from RoboiV-n to the store, at No. 95 Park row. Ho was in his travelling box and he rested quietly in it in the back room, until some of the attend? ants tried to transfer him to a cage. Hermann Reiche supposed that there would be no difficulty in handling " Ben." and he accordingly attended to liis oflice duties. While he wus sitting in his office he heard a crash from the back room, fol? lowed hy a t rriflc bellow and the shouts of the attendants. Then he saw a German assistant rush bleeding th rou nh the store, followed by the, terrill, d negro. (J inge. After tlie two came old "Ben,"' tlu-a**hing around like a harpooned whale. ?Owl ow! SW I" bellowed "Ben," giving a roar that sounded like a baby's croup ten thou? sands times magnified. Geom and thc German rushed for the door with " Ben" after them, stretching out his ten feet of length with remark? able rapidity. The uproar in the store was ter? rific. The chattering monkeys tied up their tails around their necks and rushed about for places nf safety. Tlie canaries twittered as if a thun? der storm were raging; the little anaconda that lives in a can full of milk thought that the bliz zui 1 lind returned, and, remembering that his Ripply of milk had been cut off dorins the last blfssftlda he swallowed all tlie milk in the can and fainted. Georgs and the German shut the door on ? Ben" and fled up the street. ** Ben" did not know the difference between glass and wood and made a plunge for the window in the door. But lt was too high for him. Mr. Reiche, his clerk. Mr. Dtetiel, and two attendants rushed tov'ara ** Ben," Mr. Reiche with ? bi-r plank and Mr. Diet/el with a chnir. " Ben" made a rush at th<*> olia ir and Mr. Dieizel plnyi-1 ti'.-* with "Hen" uni il Mr. Reiche droped the plank behind " Ben" with a flank movement. " Ben" could not handle himself on Die door ns readily as in thc waler and when he turned to confront Mr. Keiche, the assistants reinforced by the German and George headed him off with planks, driving him toward the back room. In this wav the six men succeeded finally in forcing " Ben** by degrees into his cage, where he Minx down hum isted from his efforts after letting out a few " ow*." that startled tho lso(t** ard amazingly. HOW THK BIO BRCTr K8CAPHD. "Ben" escaped in this way: While tho attend? ants were trying to drive him from his box into the cage, he got awey from them. He turned on William Grave, the German assistant, and bit him savagely on tho left thigh. The sea lion's tusks tore the man's flesh badly and the wound hied freely. As soon as " Ben" tasted blood, he I umped at the negro and snapped at his arm. fortunately George was just far enough away to ?miss berni- bitten. " Ben's" tusks penetrated George's coat sh eve, however. Ihe two nun were so badly trightened that they made no attempt to drive " Ben" hick but lied for their lives. Grave's wound was cn ti le ri zed by a ph,Meian. The noise of the fight attracted a log crowd around the store and for a while traffic in the street was etop|?ed. A policeman finally forced his way into the store to see what the trouble was. Tlie report came out that a UotD hnd es? caped and the crowd ran as fast as (ieorge and tlie German atteudant. it was some time before peace was restored. M Ben" is to be sent to Au fe ld t, kn (iei-many, where the Kai ches have an establishment. He was to sail yesterday morning by a German steamer, but his trip had to be post? poned._ STOCK EXCHANGE OFFICERS NOMINATED. MtS 6ELKCTKD BT THK COalMITTK".?Na MKS THAT WKRK DROPPED.

Te th* Bit it oe of The Tr th on' Slr: Ths complete offlclsl returns of foreign com? merce for January and for levon months ot the crop year, with the preliminary statement of exports of breadstuff* for February, now supply material for rn comparison In connection with the report by the Agrl eultural Bureau of wheat lu farmers' bands March 1. The exports, less Imports, for the entlro country for seven months of the crop year amount to 48.321,054 bushels wheat snd 7,363,525 barrels flour, sin.wini* a decrease of more than 12,000,000 bushels wheat and sn Increase of moro than 600,000 barrels flour, the aggregate being equivalent to 81,456,016 bushels whsst, against 01,077,164 bushels exported for the same seven months of the previous erop year. The domestle exports for February were equivalent to 0,167,470 bushels wheat, against 10,204.1(17 bushels for the same month last year. Thus the aggregate re? ported crops for eight months bave been equivalent tn 00,6.4,305 bushels wheat, against 101,381,331 for the same months of tbe previous crop year. During tho remainder of tbe last year the exports were 61,073, 640 bushels; acoordlng to my estimates, tbe ?.luck re? maining available for export this yeat Is 60,7<">i.MO bushels, so thst export* as large ss those of last year would leave us rn surplus of 28,800,000 bushels. Tbe statement of stock In farmers' hand.) March 1 being 132,000.000 bushels, In no way conflicts with the estimates * have made for the year thus far. Adding visible supply, tbe average of the last return for Feb? ruary and tho first for March, namely, 87.?!)8,000 bushels, the stock In sight would br* 170,008.000 bush? els. In previous estimates the total supply for the year was given as 504,455 070 bushels, Including stock brought over from previous years; of this quantity, 187,002,433 bushels must be reckoned as tbe coac,nnip flon for two-thirds of the year as food, and 33,437,706 bushels for seeding of winter wheat, besides 00,624, 305 bushels exported up to March 1, as above stated, making In all 311,754,530 bushel.*, accounted for, and leaving 102,701,431 as the probable stock avall-i' le tat the rest of the crop year. Deducting the quantity In sight, as above staled, there would i-cmaln 22,703.131 bushels, which would not more tliau account for two **eel.i' supply of flour, and about l_.Oi)0,iH)0 bushels wheat In Pacific Coast warehouse*) and country eleva? tors aud other stocks not Included In visible supply. It ls worth notice that the statement of stock In farmers' bands one year ago and March 1 compared with known exports and estimated consumption for tho twelve months, necessarily Implies a dorrc-io of about 10,000,000 bushels In tho quantity held in th" form of flour on tho Pacific Coast and tn country elevat'irs, un? less lt be supposed that tho Itureau report of tho yield for this year was by about 10,000,000 bushels too small. Considering that all the change**' In the report Since the earliest estimates of the Itureau were given nut have been In the direction of a larger yield, lt ls as least possible that the actual supply of wheat may have been from Ave to ten million bUAhels greater, or that the actual consumption during the lust year may have been from five to ten million bushels smaller than the estimates.
