 Thirty thousand elk are wintering in the Jackson s Hole country of Wyoming, according to the estimate of the game warden, who says that in one herd which he saw tho other morning there were 15, 900 of them, stretching over q distance of six miles. The sight, he said, surpassed anything he had ever seen and utterly amazed him. The elk trail over the snow was like flint ice, he said, so hard had the snow been packed down. The animals are seen by thousands any morning moving along the Snake rive, from the Great swamp to tho Gros Ven tre hills. and at night the walls of the calves straying from their mothers may be heard,

AMERICAN INTERESTS


In the chinese Emplrs--ThIs Cove rnment
Has Been Sounded as to Its Attitude
Towards Complication, In ihr Far Fast,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dee. 22,-It is
Understood that the authorities here
nave been unoficiaiy sounded as to
tho attitude OF the United States to-
ward the complications In the far east,
with view to learning whether
American interests In China were re-
Eardcd as sufficient to warrant any
active step by this government From
what sourees the Inquiries have come 10
not disclosed. II from Great Britain 1t
must have come through Colonel Hay,
the American ambassador at London,
as the British officials here have recelv-
ed no instructions as to the Chinese sit
uatlon.
II is well understood, however, that
Great Britain would look with favor on
any active step by the United states
which would serve as a check for the
advances OF Germany and Russia. The
interests IN China are ten times greater
than those OF Germany, Russia and the
United States, and yet, with Germany
and Russia firmly located on Chinese
sotf, Great Britain IS left I'm sort OF
Cul-de-sac. II vs. known also that Chi
neEe authorities would welcome a
movement hy tho United States and
that this has been communicated 10 Of
fcills here. Although these soundlngs,

yct have not taken official form they
have been sufficient to gain a pretty
