Now, according to General Greedy, the sup

have been easy to do so. Upon this flimsy

PROTECTION OF GAME.
pleasures Considered and Congress.
sfOnal Enactment Favored,

CHICAGO, February 13.-The third an
nual meeting Of the National Game, Bird
and Fish Protective Association was held
at the Sherman House last night. Matters
relating to the passage Of better laws for
tne protection OF game in various parts Of
the country were discussed. President NJ
r. Bortree in his annual report called at
tention to the need Of such laws in Texas
especially where there are no game laws
and yet on account of the yearly migration
OF birds, the state becomes rich game
pocket, and thousands of birds are slaugh-
tered each year.
A letter was received from NJ. B. Davis
president Of the Game Club Of Waco
Texas, calling upon the association to aid
the citizens of that state in securing the
passage Of suitable laws to restrain the
wholesale destruction of both song and
game birds by hunters. The attention of
the members was also called to the defect
i've laws of some Of the eastern states, which
Disseminated against some western states,
and render their game laws ineffective by
allowing the shipment of game into eastern
states from the west.
}. S. Baird, the attorney of the associa-
ton, has drafted bill which is intended to
amend the interstate commerce act so as to
regulate the traffic in wild game making it
unlawful for any railroad or other COM
pany to receive for shipment any sort of
game from any place of the United States
to point outside of the United States un-
less the same be conspicuously labeled
wild game" with kind and quality of such
stated and the consignors' and consignees
| names given in full. the penalty for diso-
l'beying of the law to be the same as for
the other parts of the interstate commerce
law, viz, fine from S100 to $1,000.
Copies of this bill were ordered printed
by the citation, to be used in securing
the adoption of the said law by Congress.
The other matters discussed by the asso-
ciation were. the formation of closer fed
GRAFTON of all the western states as one
body all the southern states as another
and all the eastern states as third all to
be centralized in the national association
which could carry out such measures as
should advance the interests and objects of
| the organization, and harmonize the laws
| Of these different sections and unite all in
| one combine to increase the game.
| After the reports of the various officers
and other matters were discussed the fol
| lowing officers were elected for the ensu-
| ing year: President, NJ. r. Bortree, Chi
cago; first vice president, ]. p. Barnum
| Prairie Du Chen, Wis: sec ond vice presi-
| dent, L. K Bartram, Dexter. Ohio; secre-

Spectators Not Likely to Much

TROOPS ON THE ALERT

Ell PASO, Texas, February 13.-It is prac-
ticaly certain now the fight arranged for
tomorrow will be on Mexican soil some
where. 1t will be dash across the border
and a run for home after the fight is over
If the Mexican troops can manage to reach
the battle ground, the chances are that 1t
will be more than race. 1t will be wild
and tumultuous flight, with the chances
against those who are unable to swim the
Rio Grande. There are places where an
agile man man may be able to jump across
it and. although nobody has ever done it,
terrified sport can do great things when
he tries.
Large delegations are expected from the
east before the start is made for the battle
ground tomorrow. More than 800 visitors
are here now. The number at the ring side
will not greatly exceed 1900. if 1t reaches
that number.
Many Of the sports here are becoming
anxious about the chances of seeing the
big fight and they last night declared
their intention of watching the depots all
Of tonight to avoid being left. Besides
the sports Gen. Mabery's rangers are
carefully watching every train that pulls
out with the intention Of boarding II IL
they see any intention Of pulling off the
fight in Texas. Stuart has repeatedly
assured the adjutant general that he has
no intention whatever Of pulling of the
fight in Texas.
AL 25O q. m. today the rangers discover
ed two cars loaded with what they thought
to be carnival paraphernalia attached to
a Southern Pacific freight train just pull
Ing out for the vest. Capt. Hughes of the
rangers ordered the train delayed until
permission had teen obtained for four of
his men to accompany the cars to the
state line. This was granted and three
rangers rode away on the train.
1t is stated at army headquarters that no
application has been received for United
States troops to prevent the Fitzsimmons-
Maher fight, and that troops will not De or
dered out in the absence of application from
the proper authorities.

THE NANsEN EXPEDITION.
His New Way to Reach the North
Pole.

His New Way to Reach the North
Pole.
DR.. Fridtjof Nansen and his party sailed
from Christiania, Norway, June "A, 1888,
His vessel was named the Fran, which is
the Norwegian word meaning forward"
and was built from his own plans. She Is
101 feet long, 3S feet wide, pointed at both
ends and has rounded sides and a COM
paratively fiat bottom. Her sides are from
% to 50 inches thick, which in DR.. Nam
sens opinion would resist the crushing
force of the ice foes and cause the vessel
to be lifted up out Of danger.
DR.. Nansen's party originally consisted
of twelve men, and was equipped for a five
years stay in the north. His idea was a
novel one and its execution extremely
hazardous. Instead of avoiding the ice
foes or attempting to plow his way through
them, he hoped to become frozen in the
ice and drift with it in the arctic currents.
His study of these currents led him to be-
lieve that within three years the ship would
be carried very near the pole.
His plan was to enter the Arctic ocean
by way of the Kara sea, and from the
point near the New Siberian Islands. where
the Jeanette was wrecked. to drift with
the ice d.agonally across the region of the
north pole into the East Greenland sea te-
tween Spitzbergen and Greenland. and
in that way pass by or near the pole. He
calculated that the drift would carry him
to the coast Of Greenland, where articles
from the Jeannette had been found.
The Fran was so equipped that having
freed itself from the ice it could hoist sail
and proceed independently of or contrary
to the ocean currents.
