State Game Warden Fullerton is
said to have made up his mind to stop
the shooting of prairie chickens dur
ing the closed season. It is a very
good resolution and, if carried out, will
require some sharp work. The war
den. is credited with having said, II
have ordered my wardens to bring
them in, dead or alive. Furthermore
the dogs will be shot, if they are the
last of the best breed on earth. This
idea of having these rascals go out
chicken shooting during the closed sea-
son has become too general, and will
be,stopped if somebody has to be shot
to do it. The season opens Sept. l.,
and there is no game going to be killed
before" AS the dogs are to be shot if
they are the ''best breeds on earth"
the local CANNES are probably safe.

The drafts of articles submitted by the
Spanish commissioners related to the
nationality of inhabitants of ceded ter
ritory, the Jurisdiction of courts, the
cases pending in them, the continuing
of grants and contracts for public works,
services in the ceded territory and
kindred matters.
One article provides that the United
States and Spain shall appoint an inter-
national committee of seven experts,
each country to name one of its citizens,
one Briton and one Frenchman, and q
German to be the president. This COM
mittee is to determine responsibility for
the Maine disaster. If Spain is respon-
sible she is to send a warship to salute
the American flag at New York. If she
is not, the United States is to pay all
expenses of the commission.
The Spanish idea is that, having
yielded on the main principles, they
will gain important advantages in the
details.

fee, having charge of the transportation
division. He bad charge in the begin
ming of the war of the purchase of mules
and he believed the prices paid to have
been reasonable.
He said that contracts for railroad
transportation were made in Chicago,
st. Paul and other centers before the be-
ginning of the movement of troops. The
prices secured were lower than ordinar-
lily given to individuals. In moving
the troops tourist sleepers had been
secured where possible, and in all cases
seat for each soldier was obtained.
As rule, the railroad companies had
been prompt in responding to the terms
of a contract, but in some instances in
the South there had been some delay in
the manner of equipment.
The congestion at Tampa was due to
the fact that more supplies were sent to
that point than could be handled.
