COLOMBIA MAKING FACES

PANAMA, March 18.--The informa-
tIon that lhe United States Govern
ment has taken steps to establish coal
ing stations at Chiriqui, Legoou and
Golfo Dulce, has occasioned considera-
BILE commotion. The American Con-
suls say they have no Knowledge
whatever concerning the affair, and 1t
is not known whether United States
Minister Deichmar has been approach
ed ON the subject. The Government
at Bogota is all adrift on the subject
and does not appear to have been con-
suited or its PERMISSION or assistance
solicited. The affair has created bad
feeling here and in Bogota and the
method pursued SO far by Mr.. Hayes's
Government are denounced as incon-
siderate domineering and iDsolent. 1t
is asked why Mr.. D'echman has not
been instl ucted to make fair presen-
tation of the case at Bogolaf Fancy
the. Bogota Government being reduced
to the necessity of asking information
on such subject from consuls, who
are not diplomatic but commercial
agents, and that too when there is a
Minister resident in the capital.
American interests will be prejudiced
seriously if this kind of thing goes On.

Mr.. CoNKLfNG has at last made 1.-THE
greatest effort of his life" as his friends
are pleased to term some of his prcpar-
ed speeches. And from present appear
ances. it may probably be the last effort
of Il politieul life, for the indications
are that lie has committed political hari-
kari. OF course it would not have been
like the man, if his proceedings had not
been theatrical.
On Monday last, on the meeting of
the Senate, that body was startled at re-
ceiying communication from Mr..
Conkling and Mr. Platt, the two Sena
tors from New York, announcing they
lad forwarded to the Governor of that
State their resignation as Senators. The
reason given for this course is the per
,;Stoncy of the President in pressing the
nomination Of Judge Robertson for Col
lcctor Of New York city. The sensa-
tion was all that Conkling could have
Iesircd, but Ike President didn't scare
worth cent, and on Wednesday Judge
Robertson was confirmed, there being
only SIX votes opposed. OF course
Conkiing and Plat expected at once to
be re elected by the Legislature of their
State, now in session, but the latest ac-
count. say this is not likely to be the
case, as the administration has determin-
now in Judge Robertson's control, arc
likely to be successful. Evidently Cor
nell, the Governor of New York and
Conklings friend, fears so, as he has
not yet officially notified the Legislature
of the res snaton of the Senators.

some dozen or more gentlemen like him,
and together with the Republicans Wig
orously resisted every measure ofre-
treatment in public expenditures intro

tiers are well understood by all intelli-

winter, as well as the ultimate motive
which spurred on the Governor to un-

should be adopted, unless he himself
should have the entire credit of it with
the people Of the State.

Hunting Alligators in Florida.

Parties are hunting the gators way
down on the Caloosahatchie and Kissim-
NEE Rivers, and upon the numerous
lakes in that region. Nothing is used
except the skins upon the belly and legs,
the rough, scaly plates upon the back
of the animal being rejected. The heads
are cut off and buried for few days.
when the tusks can be detached 1t was
announced some days since that one per.
son had collected alligators' teeth to the
amount of tire, hundred and fifty
pounds. This fact alone viii give some
idea of the destruction now going on
among these creatures. On the st.
Johns River new method has been de.
vised for the successful pursuit of this
game. A dark lantern with a powerful
reflector is used on suitable nights, and
no difficulty is experienced in approach
ing the quarry The animals appear to
be perfectly bewildered by the strong
glare, and make no effort to escape.
The gun is held within few feet of the
head, touch to the trigger, and there
is a gator less in Florida.
This new process is very effective, as
the hunters are enabled not only to kill

feet that the race Of saurians is in
danger of being extirpated. Thousands
are slain annually by tourists and others
for amusement merely, in addition to
those slaughtered for profit. Thousands
OF baby gators are stuffed or sent Of
alive as curiosities, while myriads OF
eggs are blown and disposed of by
dealers. Amid all these causes com.
bined the brute seems in good way to be-
come extinct. This is somewhat I'M
fortunate, as the beast is a constant
source OF interest to our Northern
brethren, and every hunter from that
section eagerly Graves the distinction OF
adding an alligator scalp to his list of
trophies. If their wholesale destruction
continues it will be necessary to call oil
the Fish Commissioners to restock ouI
lakes and rivers with these valuable
animals. --JacksonUilie Correspondent
