In the report of the New South Wales
lands department it is stated that dur
ng the past year the spread of the
abbit pest was checked in various
iarts of the colony by the extreme
teat and the severity of the drought,
nut the area of infested country, how
Ner, continued to increase, and rabbits
we're known to exist in localities so far
asst as to render it easy of belief that
he pest could exist, and indeed thrive,
n any part of this colony, irrespective
If the climatic conditions or the char
lcter Of the soil. However, there was
he pleasing fact to note that the own
ms or occupiers of rabbit-infested
ands. after continuous efforts, had at
ength been rewarded by the discovery
&c a cheap and etficacious remedy,
which had been instrumental in the de-
truction of a countless number of the
,odents. This consisted in the en-
,loyment OF phosphorized pollard. which
,pparently could be used at ali periods
f the year, and was readily consumed

If the country in which it was laid.
This poison, used in conjunction with
wire netting fences, is now regarded as

him. and supposing that some article had
fallen to the floor, he made an investigd-

Moore was called in and made a fruitless
search for the bullet. He was satisfied IL
had come from an upper window of one

They Express No Confidence In John
Bryan's Note.
If John ]. Bryan's body Is in the Poto-
mac river there will have to be evidence
other than Is afforded by the contents of a
note obtained before the police will drag
for the remains. The suggestion that the
body is in the river was contained in a
missive found this morning at the bathing
beach, which was turned over to the police.
Frank Schmid, Waterman in the monu-
ment grounds, made the find. He went on
duty last night at II o'clock, and this morn
ing about o'clock he made his usual
morning trip along the river front. When
lie reached the bathing beach he picked up
from the shore bottle that had evidently
been washed there by the tide. In the bot
tie he found a note, dated at Cape Charles,
Va. May Il, which reads:
IF my body is found. bring me to 1431
Holsted street. Chicago.
~ JOHN J. BRYh Ny"
The Waterman thought the writer of the
note had probably jumped overheard. and
he made a search for the body, but failed
to find 1t. Then he hunted among the grass
and weeds. thinking the man had probably
left his hat, coat or some other garment
there. but nothingseosld be found. Failing
to make other discovery, the Waterman
took the note and bottle to the first pre-
cinet. and turneds them over to Lieut.
Amiss. III a
