Treasurer w. C. Handlan, Of the
State Democratic Executive Committee,
has been in active correspondence for
some tine vita the various railroads of
the State, with a view to obtaining ex-
cursion rates TO this city for the Demo-
cratic State Convention, which viii as
semble August 18th, at Wheeling Park
Casino, and has definitely concluded
arrangements with all but one or TWO
of the roads. In no case will the fare
be higher than one fare and third for
the round trip, while in some cases it
will be one fare for the trip both ways.
This latter arrangement has been
agreed to by the Chic Central read, the
Norfolk and Western and the Ohio
River railway; the Chesapeake and
Ohio rate will be one fare and third;
the Baltimore and Ohio VII at least be
the same, and may possibly be one fare
for the round trip; the West Virginia
and Pittsburg rate VIII be one fare for
the round trip, and the West Virginia
Central one fare and a third; the Mo-
nongahela River road will also make
single fare rateeor the round trip. A
few smaller roads have not yet been
heard from, but taking them all round
the rates all over the State will be as
advantageous as can possibly be Sc
cured, ard will, t is thought, give gen
eral satisfaction The indications are
for large attendance at the COnven-
ton.

Wslrus came up it did not lift its head

to aim as far behind the eyes as the
distance from the eye to the end of the

to shoot at each temperance some six

WALRUS HUNTING.
Extract From Prof. L. L. Dycho's Article on
"Walrus Hunting In the Arctic
Regions"


The sensation that stirred my blood
as l approached my first wslrus was
not unlike that l experienced when
facing my first wounded grizzly. We
were in a boat being directed toward
number of icepans upon which the
Wslruses were sleeping. The day was
cold and the animals were not resting
well. They appeared to be nervous,
and were on the lookout, throwing
their heads about from time to time,
some even sliding off the ice before we
got within happening distance.
Finally the boat was sculled to within
twenty-five yards of an old cow. Lieu
tenant Pesry threw his hsrpOOn and
missed; a moment later one of the
Eskimos threw his weapon and struck
the animal just as it was disappearing
under the water.
l shall never forget the movements
of this Arctic highlander as he lifted
his arm and drew the hsrpo0n back.
AS he stood In q position Of ready,
there was q flash In his eyes and de
termination in his Countenance which
suddenly disappeared as the hsrpoon
left his hand and his eyes followed the
weapon. When he saw that his hsr-
poon had struck home, his face lighted
up with a smile, and he looked as proud
as a conqueror, while his comrades
shouted "pee.yuk" (gOod)l No sooner
had the harpoon struck than the great
beast, with her enormous brute
strength, began pulling away at the
line, which had been made fast to the
bow Of the boat. l think we were all
little excited. l know that l was,
and the Eskimos showed 1t by their
unusual animation.
Wslrus hunting is described in books
of Arctic travel as dangerous, If not
hazardous business. The animals will
upset boats by striking them, or they
will get their tusks over a boat and
CspsiZe it; or, yet again, come up under
the boat, smashing the bottom with
their tusks, and, when the unlucky
victims are dumped into the water,
throw their tusks over them and take
them down to the bottom.
On the day of which 1 am writing
we were off Herbert Island. l had
with me in the Whsle.boat six Eski-
mos, and had also asked Lieu.
tenant Pesry to accompany me on
this, my first expedition. 1 had
been sent to the north by the Museum
of Natural History in New York, and
also by the Kansas State University.
Lieutenant Pesry had had some ex-
perience in this form of hunting, and
knew enough of the native language
to manage the Eskimos. 1 felt q little
tlmid about a hunt of this kind, al
though l had killed the larger wild |
animals on nearly every part of the !
North American continent.
The Eskimo way of killing a wslrus
Is to approach within from FIVE to ,
twenty-five yards and then throw q !
harpoon. If the hsrpoon strikes, the
spear point penetrstes the skin and
sinks several inches through the
blubber and flesh. The harpoon
handle comes loose, and the barb or
head sticks in the animal. A line at

last men in NewYork to be trusted by those
who had work TO do requiring secrecy and c0ur-
