ON THE STAGE.
ingalls, Makes His Debut as
Lecturer.

WASHINGTON, Juno Special T.
For the first time since he left public
life Senator Ingalls, appeared in public
this afternoon, making his debut as
lecturer upon the stage of the ampi
theatre of the National Chautauqua
near the city.
IFS talk as on the "Problems o Our
Second Century" and he was listened
to by large audience. He paid his
respects to those persons who want
money to be as free as the leaves in the
forest in the autumn, and who are so
anxious to have Congress pay their
debts.
lie deprecated tho state of affairs
which made it possible for the thousand
people to control one half of all the &C
cumulated wealth of the country, but he
evidently did not see how this was to be
helped. lie said that if all the wealth
was divided so tina cac person received
his per capita share, in six months some
would be riding in palace cars and some
In buggies; some would be on foot and
others would be sitting in the fence
corners watching the procession go by,
he said that no legislation in the world
could change the distinctions which ex-
ist between men and added that ii some
people were rich and others were poor
the fault lay with the Creator.
lie took an optimistic view of the con-
test between wealth and poverty, and
said that out of the struggle would come
broader liberty, greater opportunities
for happiness and larger prospects for
the development of this country.
In the course Of his lecture he re-
fcrrcd to himself as statesman out of
a job, remark which naturally caused
great laughter.

Coolies in Peru.

The Chinese coolies in Peru have rem,
dcred useful service, the railway system
being in greater part the work Of their
hands. Owing, however, to the barbar-
Gus treatment which they have received ,
aud still receive on certain properties,
the Chinese Government has prohibited
emigration to Peru, and the supply of
coolic labor is thus Mt an end. On some
estates the coolies are compelled to work
in irons to prevent their running away.
They are also locked UP at night, and
undergo cruel fortunes when punishment
Is exercised. The truck system prevail

his master, who often makes proat

ELEPHANTS.
THE WAYS OF THE BIGGEST
OF BEASTS DESCRIBED.
The Elephants Intelligence over
Iateu-Captivity Shortcns His
Liie-An Elephants Fury
and Cowardice,

The period is coming, says S. W. G..
benjamin, in the St. Louis Hepu6lic.
when wild animals will cease to exist.
All over the world they arc rapidly dis
appearing. In civilized countries tho
oevastations OF the hunters are aided by
premiums offered by the Government for
the determination of wild beasts; while
in uncivilized lands the increasing nun.
Der OF sportsmen furnished with the
latest inventions in firearms seem to be
alone sufficient to fill us with apprehen-
sion that the days of such sport are rap
idly diminishing.
1t was, therefore, with great pleasure
that l came across Sir Samuel Bakers
Interesting volume, "Wild Beasts and
Their Ways" There have been MANY
mighty hunters since the days of MINI
rod, but none more expert, more adycn-
turons nor more enthusiastic than the
famous author of this book, nor have
any had n wider experience. lie has
hunted every species of game on every
continent, and he now gives us the re-
suits OF some of his experiences led by
the belief that many of the species he
has hunted are destined to become cx-
tinct within short time. His observa-
tlons, therefore, have Il sort of historical
character in addition to the interest of
his facts and the thrilling nature of some
OF his adventures. No man has ever
written on these subjects who shows a
kccncr interest in the character of ami
mails, or whose opinions are OF moro
value.
The author gives very clear descrip.
ton OF the difference between the Asia!
tic and the African elephant. The lat
ter is much the larger. Jumbo ut the
shoulder stood eleven feet high, but some
African specimens are over twelve feet
The Indian or Asiatic elephant is rarely
over nine feet, has convex back, and
is tanned with comparative case, while
the African has hollow back, larger legs,
and enormous cars, and does not take
kindly to civilized life. Captivity short
ems the life of the elephant, but in its
wild state there are evidences that it
reaches 150 years; one reason is that the
perfection of the ivory is not reached un.
til the age of forty.
The Intelligence of the elephant has
been oyerratcd. lie would never volun-
tcer his services like dog. Sir Samuel
never saw one Of them interfere to save
his master from drowning or attack; he.
would never interfere in your defence.
He would instead run away unless guided
by his mahout or driver. But his ROVER
OF learning is extraordinary, and lie can
be taught TO perform wonders. Not
withstanding his enormous speed and
strength, he is naturally Il coward, and
is much less to be depended on to face
danger without ilinching than the horse.
1t is impossible to train all elephants
alike, and very few can he rendered
wholly trustworthy. ~ good, we'll

Sir Samuel describes such an incident,
when he was out. on hunt with the
RaJah OF Moochtagacha. There were no
less than forty-seven elephants in the
train. Lady Baker formed one of the
hunting party, which leads her husband
to say: cit was hot work for ladies
my wife was in the howdah behind he.
confess that am not fond of the fAl
sex when shooting, rs think they afS
out of place, but I hal taken LADY
Baker upon this occasion at her special
request"
After several hours of search for the
royal game they were after the party DIS
covered the fcathery tops of a strip of
tamarlsk gently waving. AS the day was
sultry and without wind it was evident
something was stirring in the dense grass.
The elephants at once sounded their
kettlc-drum note of alarm. Conscious
that the critical moment was ut hand!
the hunters ranged the fortv-scven elei
phants in row 200 yards long, a most
imposing line to present to the enemy.
Slowly the procession advanced in good
order.
They had not marched over sixty
yards before succession of tremendous.
roars rang on the still uir, magnificent
challenge of battle. at the same mo-
ment large tiger sprang from the cop
pee, but instead of attacking any of the
elephants, he fearlessly charged along
