HYPNOIIzlNG RABBITS.

Attracted to the Slaughter Pen by Jing-
ling a String of Iron Rings.
From the San francisco Examiner.
Australians are rejoicing now because q
new and most successful method of hunting
rabbits is fast running out the troublesome
little animals that infest the colonies. John
Murray, of Melbourne, brings the informa-
ton, which may prove of value in Cali
forhia.
II was reading an article in one OF the
papers the other day which stated that the
killing of coyotes was giving tue RABBIT full
sway and making the life of the sheep-raiser
easy at the expense of the fruit-grower,"
said Murray. II lived on rauch in this
state for three years, and know very we'll
that there may DO great deal Of truth in
that Yet, if | had known as much about
rabbits then as | do now would have
taken the contract to kill all the rabbits in
Fresno county for $1,000. 1t is very
simple matter to get rid of the little crea-
lures if you go at it in the right way.
'tIn Australia the rabbit pest was mat
ter of even more consequence than 1t Is In
California to-day, but it is not so now, for
| they have way Of limiting them that IS
going to clean the colonies as sure as IL Is
kept up.
"The Vic oriAn government was so much
concerned ABOUT the plague of rabbits that
| an inspector was appointed, under an act
called the vermin destruction act, and great
efforts were made by him to find some
| method of determination.
Much pains were taken to advertise the
matter, and as result, suggestions were
| received from all over the world. The par
ticular one which has proved such god
send to the country came from Bengal, II
my recollection serves me right. 1t was
tried first by the inspector, and the infor-
nation was then sent out, and now all over
Australia rabbits are hunted ii the same
way.
The rabbit-hunters gather to the num-
Der of eight. One carries a bulPs-eye Ian
tern and another big bunch of small iron
rings, each fastened to a string SO that they
will Jingle together. The others carry
clubs or enthusiastically air-guns. The
party goes very quietly to the haunts OF the
rabbit, aiming to get there between and y
O'Clock in the evening. The men with
lanterns and rings choose an open place and
the ones with clubs get in the shelter, form
ing a circle about twenty yards in diameter
about the two. The fellow with the rings
sets up great jingling and the lantern is
moved rapidly around the circle. ms
charms the rabbits, and they come from all
directions toward the light just as moths
rush 60 a candle. They can be dubbed to
death, for the lantern and the ringing sound
seem to stupefy them.
1T all seems simple enough, and yet |
have known six men to kill thousands OF
rabbits in two hours went into the bush
to my uncle's range last April to attend a
hunt. There were ten of US, and we chose
an open space just at the edge Of grove of
gum trees. had the rings, and no sooner
began rafting them than the rabbits broke
cover and came jumping to their death by
hundreds

are brokers in the Milwaukee chant Der of

money expended in the purchase and sale

Gladstone Makes an Address and Is Vo'
ciferously Received.
NEWCASTLE, Oct. S.-The Liberal con
gress opened yesterday and Sir George
Trevelyan introduced the resolutions
which in brief demand enlarged suffrage,
shorter sessions of parliament, payment
of members Isl: George saying that he
would oppose greater compensation than
$500 per year, and, representa-
tio1 of the working classes. The
resolutions was cheered at every point,
and are evidently what the delegates want.
at night Gladstone addressed 1000 per
sons. He was received with repeated
cheers and order could hardly be obtain ed
for him to proceed. Resolutions express
Old Man were adopted with a storm of
approval.
The Grand Old Mans speech.
Gladstone frequently during his speech
gave voice to his confidence that at the
next general election the Tories would be
defeated. He touched on all the proposals
OF the resolutions and gave them quail
fed Endorsement. Everything he said on
these subjects was cautiously worded, but
he was not non -committal in denounc-
ing everything done by the Salisbury gov
ernment, except its foreign policy, which
he-also acknowledgement. On the
temperance issue he seemed to favor local
option. He Endorsed church disestablish-
ment in Scotland and Wales and cleyerly
doiged the question of abolishing the
house of lords
Labor and the Irish Question.
He favored "a few more labor represen-
tatives in parliament and further reduc-
tons in the hours of labor that do not
violate any body's rights. A very great
portion of his speech was devoted to Ire
land, but-he outlined no precise policy,
simply declaring for home rule, and COM
bat Nc any claim TO success in dealing
with the problem the government makes.
That part of his speech on British affairs
was frequently cheered, but the delegates
seemed TO think the Irish question took
up TOO much Of his time.
