THE EMPERoR's SPEECH.
Newspaper Comment on His Re-
marks at Hamburg.

BERLIN, Oct 19-The newspapers
are for the NEST part barren of COM
ment upon the speech of Emperor Will
lam at Hamburg yesterday at a lunch
con following the launching of the bat
tleship Kaiser Karl der Crosse.
The "Berliner Tageblatt," however,
says: His majesty's expressions of
regret that his wish for a big fleet did
not meet with intelligent furtherance
eight years ago will be found signif1-
cant just now in more ways than one
The Socialist organ, the "Vorwaerts"
says: ''The speech was a mixture of
Pan-German fleet enthusiasm and DIR.
Won MiquePs non-partisan sammel
politik. It dovetails in the program
with the Einhousen and Dortmund
speeches. While the former promised
an anti-strike bill, and the latter pro-
claimed a determination to carry
through the canal project, this speech
at Hamburg announces new and i'm
mense naval bill. The Emperor's s
words cannot be construed otherwise" !"

Cruelty to Animals.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10. This
morning Superior Judge B. n. Smith
handed down an opinion affirming the
decision of Justice James in finding
F. D. Black, President of the Coursing
Club, guilty of cruelty to animals.
Judge Smith holds that the rabbits are
killed unnecessarily. 1t is admitted
that the rabbits in their wild state may
be pursued and killed with dogs, but
rabbits kept in confinement and re-
leased for the dogs are held not to be
really wild animals. According to Mr..
Rlack the suit viii be carried to the
Supreme Court as soon as possible on
a writ of habeas corpus.

sluice and recover the gold in the poci.
The venture has been abandoned after

penSe.

Still another photograph of deer was

One Of the most satisfactory results of
the Photographic operations was the pho

It's nest. The photographer focus

bird, which ned only when the doctor got

The deer was feeding near the lake when
the doctor came upon IL in the canoe,
The sun had not yet risen. and the early
morning light was hardly strong enough to
anord the hunter a first-rate shot The
deer saw him as he fired and sprang away

fore the hunter could jump ashore and fire
again. The second bullet reached the
fatal spot behind the shoulder, and the
deer dropped dead.
The doctor had better luck with his
moose. IL was a big bull that re had
seen several times from the lake and had
marked as an excellent specimen for the
exposition Morning and evening for sew
eral days he had sat In his canoe, hoping
10 see the animal come near enough for
q shot.
III he doesn't come tonight" the doctor
said the guide, wen give him up and
move away"
The dusk was deepening ominously that
evening. when the two men in the canoe
were startled by a heavy crash in the
brush along the shore and before they
could speak the big moose iurched through
the alders and dropped his great head INTO
the water. The canoe was barely a dozen
feet away, but the tired and thirsty brute
never looked up.
The hunter aimed cooliy, and the moose
had taken less than half a dozen g,,lps
when bullet from the doctors rifle cut
the animals spine clear through little
below the neck. The moose was dead
before the echoes OF the shot had made
the circle OF the lake
