BERLIN, March aS.-rhe Russo-Aus'
trian commercial treaty owes its sue
cess to the personal intervention of
the czar. As in the negotiations with
Germany, the czar oyerruled perenp-
torily the prejudiccs of his advisers.
He ordered cessation Of the squab-
bling over the rye duty, which DIR.
Wittc demanded, and Count kainoky
refused to grant, and thus removed
the last obstacle in the way Of an
agreement But for the czar's deter
mutation to have peace with both his
powerful neighbors, the negotiations
would have failed .

Unless He Deserts the Army Of Tramps
and IIastens Home.
New YORK. March GA special to
morning paper from Massllon, o..
signed by Hugh O'Donnell. the labor
leader says: "Unless Coxey can man
age to raise $1,000 by next Wednesday
he is probably ruined man. He still
owes that amount on the celebrated
Alcoyte, and the former owner OF the
horse, Col James f. Pepper, the we'll
known whisky man and stock raiser
of kentucky, holds mortgage on
the horse and other property of
Coxey to protect that amount.
Coxey purchased the stallion for
SAC, 900 and gave notes for that amount.
He paid off $4,000, and owes s24, 900.
The former owner, alarmed by the re-
ports OF CoXey's insane movement,
sent his son here this week to take IL
survey Of the situation. The result is
that attorneys were instructed to pro-
ceed against Coxey yesterday, but after
long conference it was agreed to give
the president of the Good Roads asso-
citation until Wednesday to settle
This is very likely but the beginning
of the end. Coxey's entire property is
heavily mortgaged and this move of

to start up his other creditors and IL

BIG SNAKE STORIES.
These. However, Are Better Than Most
 Tor They Arc True.

 These. However, Are Better Than Most,
 Tor They Arc True.
 Nearly all the snakes you see in nut aeums and circus exhibitions were sent to this country from Africa or South America. The boa constructor comes from Africa and some very large speei- mems come from Brazil 1t is very sell dom that we can secure an anaconda.
 Tn both Africa and South America the snakes are captured by the na- lives, who very often, however, are afraid of them, and do not undertake to secure them unless they are accom- panied by an American or European, who will take the lead in the expedi- ton.
 In Brazil the large snakes are some times captured with nets, which are thrown over them. The smaller ones are caught with big stick, shaped at one end like a two-pronged pitchfork. The man approaches the snake soon after the animal has partaken of good meal and when he feels heavy and sleepy. The fork Is placed over the snakes head, and he is thus pinned to the ground. Then he coils himself around the stick, and in that way is carried away and put in strong box ready to be shipped to some foreign country Even large snakes are often captured in this way.
 Boa constructors are obtained in the forests near the Amazon and Platte rivers They are sometimes twenty feet in length and weigh from fifty to lg q arz captured from twelve to fourteen feet long, but the majority of them are seY= en or eight feet long. The Indians of Brazil capture this variety of snake while they are engaged in their rega- lar vocation of gathering rubber. 1 They put the rubber and lot of snakes in canoes take them about l four thousand miles mp the Amazon river. where they sell them to the traders, who in turn ship them in steamers which take the raw rubber 1 to the coast.
 Anacondas also come from Brazil They are highly prized because they are so handsomely marked, but the l specimens we are able to get here are smaller than the boas.
 Snakes will not eat dead food. We feed them on birds. chickens, pigeons, rabbits and white mice. But the large snakes will not be content with meal ef mice; the bait is entirely too small for them, and the little creatures could run around their cage with out being armed. Large snakes de- mand chicken, rabbit, or a large rat, and they take particular delight in killing the food they are to eat. They do not eat so much iii captivity. and consequently are not so long lived. Some of them will not live over a year, while snake who is good feeder will live for ten or twelve years. This question of food would be q very ex- pensive item in keeping q snake if it were not for the fact that he only eats once month and sometimes not that often. It is rare to find one that will eat oftener than once a week. Snakes are very quiet and doeile after they have been fed The fat in q snake Is in layers and is found in greater quan- titY than in any other animal know Of. One reason. l suppose, why they can go without eating for such long periods is because they can lixe off their own fat.-N. !. Advertiser
