SPEED or cAN'yAs BACK DUCKS.

ulrds That Can Fly Two 'uIes a Minute
and Can Keep IL Up for Hours.
DIR. Charles Macr1m is a wealthy re
tired physician of Portland. ore, who
Tor the last three years has devoted his
time to hunting and fishing and writing
stories for sporting papers. The doc
tor has made a study Of the speed of
the duck, and says the canvas back
can fly faster than any other member
81 the duck family.
ssThe canvas back can distance any
other duck, - said the doctor. 1t can
ny two miles a minute. and keep il up
for hours. The mallard is the slowest
but with an effort can 90 a mile minute.
The gadwade duck is not found in the
eAst often, but is nunerous in Oregon
The members OF this family can travel
eighty miles an hour. The broadbill
duck is almost as swift as the canvas
back, but cannot keep the pace as long
e. the other.
'FYou may think that geese hy slower
than mallard duck. This is not so.
With the slow movement Of their big
wings they do not appear TO be flying
zpidiy, but they travel from eighty to
enc hundred miles an hour, and keep
n up for a day"
The doctor tells some interesting sto-
riss about his hunting experiences.
When hunting near Madison, Wis, he
had a narrow escape from being killed
ny the body of a duck which had fallen
ct his feet from the air about 200 yards
above him.

"A friend Of mine named Bancroft,

buzzing over the lake, and my friend
suddenly raised himself in his boat to

The bird must have been going at the

COURTING A WIND.

Portuguese Intolerance Arousing British
and Native Ire in South Africa, and Hos
tilities Imminent.
LONDON, April 21. - Advices from
Cape Town confirm the statement previ-
ously cabled that the British settlers in
Mashonaland and Manicaland are
everywhere preparing for fight with
the Portuguese. Gungunhama has sent
messages repudiating allegiance to
Portugal, and asking to be taken I'M
der the protection of the British. Tho
chief is said to be deeply enragtd at
the abduction by the Portuguese of two
of his sons and one daughter as
hostages. The sons were taken to
Portugal to be educated, and the daugh-
ter is detained at Mozambique. Gun
gunhama was frightened into submis-
sion at first, but British trader has in
formed him that the Portuguese would
not dare to injure the children, and now
he wants to fight. The young chief,
Umbati, of Gungunhama's kraal, to
whom the daughter was to have been
married shortly, has already started
with band of warriors to fight the
Portuguese.
The British South African Co.'S lead
ing representatives in London held q
meeting yesterday to discuss the south
African situation. The opinion was
freely expressed that unless Portugal

ures, the company would have to take

The Reported Case of PIuro Pneumonia
at Deptford, England, Proves to De

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Inquiry was
made at the department of agriculture
yesterday in regard to the alleged case
of pleuro-pneumonia said to have been
discovered at Deptford, England,
among animals imported from the
United States. Dr. William Dickson,
assistant chief of the bureau of animal
industry, speaking for Dr. Salmon,
who is confined at his home with a
slight attack of the grip, said:
''Our representative, DR.. Wray, ca
bled us yesterday that this is not case
of contagious pleuro-pneumonia, and
that most eminent British authorities
coincide with him in this view. The
fact of the matter is" added the doc
tor, 1--WE are satisfied this case will turn
out as the last one did, in which, after
a thorough investigation, it was shown
to the satisfaction of everybody, includ-
ing the British inspectors, that the sick
animal had been suffering with moth
ing more serious than catarrhal-p -pneu
monia."
