closure Is permitted 10 live undisturbed. and as
the climate Of Vermont IL considered and the size

COSTLY LIVE GAME BIRDS
STOCKING A PRESERVE WITH THEM A
LABOR OF GREAT DIFFICULTY.

The trade in live game birds has grown OF late
years to considerable proportions and is increasing
all the time. Rich men have spent thousands upon
thousands OF dollars stock their great preserves
with game birds OF many kinds. They have not
only tried to prevent the extinction OF various
species OF American game birds but have also
sought TO ncclimatize and breed some kinds from
foreign lands
To do this has involved the expenditure Of much
money, patience and ingenuity. 1t was at first

SENATOR PALMER SCORED.

l.. d. Mari, cashier of the
bank of Mansfield, Missouri.
and who is a prominent demo
crat, in analysing the record of
Gen. Palmer, the assistant Me-
Klnleyite, who was nominated
at the Indianapolis rump con
vention, sizes him up in the fol-
lowing terse style:
When Mr.. Palmer was run
ming for the position he now
holds, as everyone knows, the
political complexion of the leg
is lature of Illinois was such as
to make his selection practically
impossible without securing the
votes of three pOpulists. To
get these three votes Mr.. Pal
mer got down on his knees, so
to speak, and pledged himself
to free silver and a low tariff.
Mr.. Taubeneck, the populist
national chairman, who was a
member of the Legislature at that
time, held the balance of power
and cast the deciding vote which
made John NJ. Palmer United
States senator. Then what did
Mr.. Palmer do! He proved
himself one of Mr.. Cleveland's
most active lieutenants in strik-
ing silver the last fatal blow i'm
the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. /
consider John NJ. Palmer as
much of a turncoat as Carlisle,

ment of his nomination Il reac-
ton will set III that will result
in Bryan sweeping every state

exceptions of Pennsylvania.

STRAIGHT FROM HANNA.
EmIssaries From the BID Chief Sent 70
Fort Worth to Form a Fusion Be-
tween Republicans and PopulIsts.

Fort Worth. Tex, Sept. -
A distinguished party of repub-
licans arrived tonight from Chi
cago. They were Gen. A. w.
Huston. national committeeman
from Indiana; Charles Hedges,
who has charge. of the Chicago
branch of the national head
quarters; Charles W. Ogden
and f. III. Terrell of San Anto-
MO and f. III. r. Green of Kauf-
man. Shortly after the gentle
men arrived they repaired to
their rooms at the Worth. where
they received many callers.
Messrs. Huston and Hedges
said they had nothing to say
further than that they were
here TO look over the field and
see how the Republicans dO
business in convention. 1t
leaks ont, however, that the five
gentlemen came here direct
from Hanna, where they have
been his guests for several days.
1t likewise leaks out that they
are for fusion tooth and nail.
and as | have before stated.
they are willing to accept on any
reasonable basis.
Grant said tonight that as far
as he was concerned. he would
have fifteen votes or nothing,
but the new arrivals from Ham
na take IA different view of the
case. 1t is their idea to fuse
and let the popuhsts dictate the
terms. This is likewise the
idea OF four-fifths of the dele
gates here.
1t was said tonight that
Messrs. Huston and Hedges
brought some documents from
Hanna, the contents of which
are that he requests Grant and
the shalance of the faithful to
ring off on their Internal war
fare and bend their energies to
capturing the state for McKin-
ley. 1t is even said that the
boys are instructed to take their
hands off Quincy and antagonize
him no further, and to get to-
gethnr and whoop up the fu-
sion.
As to whether this is all true
or not, your correspondent can
not say. Whether Grant will
submit TO the dictum, even if it
is true cannot be said. But one
thing is certain-that Huston
and Grant and Hedges and
Green and the balance of them
caucused until after midnight.
declining the company of news
paper men.
1t is sand that the national ex-
ecutive committee is backing
Green straight from the shoul-
der. and we all know that Green
is Cuney's candidate. When
we put this and that together il
is too significant to need com
ment.
Mr.. Hanna's position in chef
Is that it is good policy to divide
the electors with the populistS
anyhow, because it insures a
more loyal support of the ticket.
Also, to divide electors with the
sound money democrats if they
are agreeable. He has instruct
ed Grant, it is said, to make the
necessary concessions. At mid
night Quincy says he is sure to
win his chairmanship fight.

Leaves New York.

Leaves New York.
NEW YORK. March 16.-The Press
this morning says: Despite the efforts of
the Spanish consuls, ministers and spies
in this country, in the face of the loss of
steamship J. w. Hawkins, and the
seizure by U. s. marshals of the steam
ship Bermuda, the Cubans in this vicinity
have now upon the sea. bound for the
island. whose freedom is the one thought
of their lives, the identical cargo of am
munition of the steamship.
On another vessel, it is understood,
are lot more men who are to be trans
ferred to the Bermuda, on the high seas.
The Bermuda left New York yester-
day. 1t was shortly after 8 o'clock when
she got up her anchor, 10 o'clock when
she passed Sandy Hook and about noon
when abe distanced the feet of news
paper tugs that followed her to sea.
The air was filed with rumors yesterday.
Thos. Estrada Palma has disappeared
from town and Gen. CaliXto
Garcia left his home early in
the morning and had not returned
at late hour last night The report was
that they had sailed for Cuba, and that it
was the intention of the patriots to per
feet the system of government in Cuba in
order to induce a more substantial sup
port from other countries, including the
United States, than that Of mere sympa-
thy.
No law of this country prohibits the
vessel from loading her decks to the
| waters edge with gunpowder and arms
| for the insurgents in Cuba, and in all 40
tons of ammunition and guns were placed
| on board the Bermuda, and also several
cases containing dynamite.

JAIL KANGAROO OUTRAGES
They Nearly Result in a Cutting on
Sunday.

Stand back! Don't try any foolish
ness here with US. We're willing to sub.
NIT to reasonable kangarooing if we
break any of the rules. but we're not GO
ing to be whipped because we came in
here without money" cried one of four
men as they gathered at one end of the
cage on the upper corridor of the county
Jail yesterday afternoon and threw off
their coats.
"Yes, you will be kangarooed, by -,
I'll show you whether we'll kangaroo
you" shouted thick Tipped Jim AFTER
bridge, judge of the kangaroo court, as
he rushed from the west end of the cage,
where court was in session, to the little
crowd of new corners. He held his
right hand behind him and JOURNAL
reporter standing behind him at the west
end of the corridor saw razor fash in
his hand.
Court Sheriff Thompson, David Coul-
ter and the crowd of old prisoners left
the>benches where court was being held
and advanced threateningly behind their
chief. The little band stood their ground
ready for action. It looked like fight
for sure, and Under Sheriff Bert Lucas,
,Jailer Larry Shsehan and Turnkey job
Jones hurried around the corridor to the
door of the cage. Arterbridge stood
ready with his razor.
After a moments angry talk on both
sides, the old prisoners retreated to the
court and sat down again. "Sheriff,
bring those men into court" said
Arterbridge; but the sheriff only made a
weak bluff of going a few feet in order
10 sustain his reputation.
"Ars you fellers comm into COURT"
hewled the giant Negro judge as he
again bore down on the four men with
his razor in his hand.

"You've got more men than we have
three to one, but we haven't broken any
rule and we won't be kangarooed. You'll
have the hottest fight you've got intoand
if you injure any of us these authorities
will have to pay for il" he added by way
of warning to the jail authorities who
were saying nothing to prevent the
threatened conflict.
Arterbridge bluffed a few moments
holding his weapon behind him so that
the other men could not see it. Then he
slipped into the cell and hid the rasor
there. By this time Jailer Sheehan had
learned of the weapon and made the
Negro bring it to him.
"If you'll 60 out we'll kangaroo dem.

and the people who were looking on
were taken out. But "the boys" didn't

men.
