THE SLAUGHTER OF GAME
Indians Are Terrible Marauders
Abuse Checked.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, 1Ss4.-Com-
missioner Browning of Indian Affairs
has recently returned to Washington from
an extensive trip through the Indian
reservations of the Northwest and while
there he investigated the ruthless de-
struction of game by the Indians, par
ticularly elk and deer. The Indian agents
in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and
the Dakotas, called together in council
the Indians of their respective agencies
and notified them that the restrictions
as to hunting must be strictly complied
with.
AT the councils held they were notified
they obtain passes, ostensibly for maxi
ing friendly visits to other reservations
and then engage in hunting while en-
route, their passes would be recalled by
this office and they would not be allowed
to leave their reservations again. and,
moreover, that they would be liable to
arrest and punishment by State officers
for violating the game laws of the State
or Territory in which they might be
found hunting.
The practice is gradually being restrict
ed, and in the future reports of the ill
conduct of the Indians in this direction,
it is believed. will be few and far be-
tween and game will be allowed to in
crease without useless hindrance.

QUEER POLICE MUDDLE
rs David Hennessy a Chanceman OIL
PatrOlman.

A peculiar complication of affairs was
disclosed by the arraignment of David
Hennessey of the Fourth precinct before
the Police Commissioners yesterday to
answer charge of leaving his post to
attend a fire which he had been or
dered to remain away from by Rounds
man Welsh. When the case was called
temporary clerk Archibald called
"Chanceman Hennessey." Counsellor w.
H. Speer, who appeared for Hennessey,
objected to his client placing himself
on record as answering TO the title of
Chanceman. President Abernethy con-
tended that Hennessey was not regu-
larly appointed patrolman, and Mr.. Speer
insisted that he was. 1t appears tohat
Hennessey was appointed a chanceman
about seven years ago. Two years later
the board, then made up of Messrs. Fee
ney, Benson and Kelly, promoted him
to the position of patrolman when he
passed the required medical examination.
He went before Police Surgeon Nevin,
but it appears that Hennessey's heart
was a little off, and he did not pass the
examination. Notwithstanding this fact
Hennessey was entered on the payroll
as a patrolman, and for the past five
years has been drawing q patrolmans S
pay This fact was discovered a few
days ago by Chief Murphy He saw no
reason why Hennessey should be given
such an advantage over other chance
men and accordingly directed him to
report as a chanceman HenneSsey oh
iects to the reduction, and the case will
have to be settled in the courts.

WANTED A HAND ORGAN.
One of President Cleveland's Queer
Crank Letters.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 49, 1894 Among
recent communications addressed to
President Cleveland to which he has
made no response was one which was
a crank" communication in a double
sense. An italian, who gave his address
as Emil Krey, corner of Burrell and
Dover streets, Milwaukee, Wis, re-
quested the President to send him a
hand organ, with permission to play it
in every city in the United States.
The letter was evidently written in
good faith, but if Private Secretary
Thurber sent reply to all the letters
received at the White House he would
require the assistance of a large force
of stenographers. At present there is
but one stenographer at the Executive
Mansion.
The President never dictates, all his
personal communications, his endorse
ments on public papers and his mes
sages to Congress being written with his
own hand.

BURGLARS III H0BoKEN.

Burglars visited Hoboken last night
and succeeded in getting away with more
or less valuables. At Samuel Fisher s
house. No. 633 Washington street. they
broke into his store room and rified
three trunks. securing three diamond
rings, one diamond breast pin, $S5 in
cash and other trinkets. valued in all
at about 5000.
Robert Dodd. of No. 750 Washington
street, lost coat. ana mis- father an
overcoat by burglars. They had entered
the house, and were on their way up
stairs when they were frightened off.
AS they left they snatched the coats
from the hat rack in the hall.
CONTINENTAL HOTEL ROBBED.
The Continental Hotel was also entered
and several articles of wearing apparel
taken, but nothing of any more value.
The clothing stolen was in rooms that
had been left unlocked by boarders who
were out This last robbery is supposed
to be the work of sneak thieves.
1t is the opinion of the police that last
nights work was that or an organized
gang. OF late burglaries have been of a
frequent occurrence, both in Hoboken
and Jersey City. A short time ago Jer-
sey City Heights was infested with sneak
thieves and burglars, and the police of
the Fourth and Seventh precincts were
compelled to do double duty at nights
until it got so warm for the knights of
the Jimmy that they suddenly left their
field of operation there ana moved away.
MOVED TO HOBOKEN.
Now Hoboken is subjected to series
of burglaries, and it is thought by citi-
zens to be the work of the same gang
that operated in Jersey City.
With Hobokens small police force,
the midnight marauders can have what
one of the police officials called IAN easy
cinch.'

JAPAN's NEW MODE OF WARFARE
Kind Treatment of Prisoners Leads
the Chinese 10 Surrender.

the Chinese TO Surrender.
DANVERS, Mass, Nov 16 1S94.-The
following extracts from private letter
by the Rev. Charles E. Ewing, bear date
October 8, and were written outside
Taku Bar near the mouth of the Pelho
River, China, en- route to Tien Tsin.
'In Japan we found the natives full
of patriotism and eager for victory.
They were confident of debating terms
of peace at Peking, and some even medi
tated the subsection of China to Japan
and even hoped for the extension of the
political supremacy of Japan even furth-
err Most of this, of coure, we set down
to hot-headed patriotic enthusiasm, aid
ed by Justification of war reports by the
Government through subservient press.
When we reached Shanghai, we found
that the, Chinese knew little and cared
less, about the war, but that the Japanese
victories were undoubted.
"a German gentleman who came on
board yesterday at Cheefoo and who
had been sent to Korea by the Viceroy
of China, reported that the Japanese
had won decisive victories on land, and
that they had sunk in the naval battle,
four of China's nine ships, so that, al
though they had not won a real vic
tory, they had practically gained the
supremacy on the sea. He said he was
returning in disgust to give the Viceroy
a piece of his mind; and that he had al
most no doubt that the Japanese army
would succeed in reaching the Chinese
capital. ALL of which looks as if China
would have little to hope for in the end,
unless, indeed, foreign powers inter-
fered in the promoting of len
iency. The United States is the
only first class power that would
dare to take such step, at least for the
present, and everyone knows how unlike
ly our government is to interfere with
foreign affairs. AS to leniency, how
ever Japan seems to desire to gain rec
ognition as a civilized power. 1t is re-
ported that prisoners are so kindly
treated that Chinese. soldiers prefer cap
tivity to defeat and are therefore not
especially loath to surrender.
Japan is SO patriotic and united,
China so unpatriotic and disunited; Ja-
pans army is so well equipped and has
behind it such independent ability for
self equipment; China's SO poorly equip
ped and backed by almost worthless
arsenals at home and cut off now from
are SO well organized and drilled and
the Chinese so much like a mob. that, if
we had only known all this before, we
could have had no reason to doubt as to
the outcome of the war. To transport
their troops from the interior, the Chi
nese use junks instead of steam vessels
or else make an overland march. When
the army cones in sight, you see every
tenth man bearing a banner, and at
least half of the rest carrying umbrellas
for defence against the heated rain and
all with fans in their hands. il is not
fancy, but fact, that many of the fans
and some of the umbrellas are taken to
the battlefield"

HALF MAST FOR ALEXANDER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, 1S94-Three
national colors, none of the number rep
resenting the United States, are flying at
half mast in this city. These are over
the Legations of Russia. France and
Great Britain, and the flags are half
masted in memory ofsthe late Alexander
Ill The Russian flag was placed at
half mast Immediately upon the receipt
of the news of the Cars death. and this
example was at once followed by France
and Great Britain. The flags win be dis
played thus until after the interment of
the Russian Emperor. The intermar-
riages between the family of the late
Russian Emperor and the grandchildren
of Queen Victoria account of course for
the half masting of the British flag; the
manifestations Of sympathy on the part
of France appear to be sentiment;,
only.
