Maryland sportsmen and hunters are
greatly interested in bill now on the cal
endar of the United States Senate to enlarge
the scope of the United States Fish Com
missions work so as to make it include the
propagation OF game birds. The bill, which
has already passed the lower House Of Con
gress, was introduced by Representative
Lacey, Of Iowa. 1t is expected that the
experiment Of propagation of the birds will
be carried on extensively in Maryland if
the bill becomes law.
Inasmuch as the Fish Commission since
1880, has raised the number of shad an
nually marketed from little over ), OO0,-
600 to nearly 20, 100000 Mr.. Lacey firmly
believes that an equivalent increase of the
game birds OF the country could be obtain
ed by similar methods. He does not, of
course, mean that it is practicable to put
birds eggs by thousands into Matching jars
and turn out the young ones by the whole
sale, but much can be accomplished, he
contends, with certain species by suitable
processes.
BY artificial breeding, game birds may be
induced to lay greatly-increased number
OF eggs just as the female descendant of
the primitive chicken has been persuaded
to produce at least six times the number of
potential offspring yielded by her primitive
ancestress of the forests of India. Here
if this expectation should be reaiized-is
the opportunity for the incubator. When
human beings learned to nourish their
progeny with the milk of other animals,
their rate Of propagation was multiplied.
A similar benefit, where bird-life is con-

ALAS, POOR SPARROW .

If the United States Fish Commission be-
comes also bird commission, an Important
feature of its work will be to shut out from
this country undesirable birds. The Eng
lish sparrow, now such a nuisance, would
never have been introduced into the United
States If government experts had possessed
authority to exclude it. Persons ignorant
OF its true character brought it from Europe
with the notion that it would gobbe insects,
whereas it is primarily seedeater, not to
mention its hostility to more desirable
feathered creatures. AS a result, it has be-
com pest, and other we'll meaning per-
sons have recently imported lot of Eng
ish startling to destroyit Unfortunately,
this startling is to all intents and purposes
like our own Objectionable crow black bird,
nd has the same habit of eating the eggs
and young OF smaller birds of all sorts.
QUAIL FOR A STARTER.
1t is proposed that the governments
should try to establish the common quail
on basis OF semi dom estication at some
Matching station, with covey Of these
birds for starter. They are specially
available for the purpose, because they are
so prolific, as many as twenty six eggs
being sometimes found in single quail's
nest. 1t is easy to imagine future quail
hatchery thus established, with series Of
gas inoubators in operation. The newly
Matched birds could be carried, after con-
tinuous method, through a warm room for
drying their feathers, and thence out in
the open air, where they could be fed and
cared for until able to look out for them
selves, In this way they would be pro-
tected from the enemies which destroy
most Of the young birds in the eggs or out
of them. The game birds are threatened
by variety of dangers in infancy snakes,
rats and other predatory animals attack
them, capturing the eggs and young, while
other birds also devour them.
As matter of course, a large per cent.
of the artifcially. bred birds will be kept
for egg laying and thus the stock will be
rapidly and indefinitely increased. Small
beginnings may make big ending, The
Fish Commissioners began with a few shad
fry. They planted 800, 900, 600 in the rv
ers in 1898.

THE ARMY CANTEEN.
So Far as War Department Is Con-
cerned Matter Is Settled In Favor
of Maintaining Present System.

With regard to the question of the
maintenance of canteens at United
States army posts, the acting secretary
of war said that so far as the depart
ment is concerned the matter is set
tied in favor of maintaining the present
system. When the subject was brought
up by the case of the Camp Meade can
teen the matter was thoroughly In
vestigated by the department, and re-
ports from officers in all branches OF
the service showed that from every
standpoint the army canteen as now
operated is infinitely better for the in.
terests of the soldier than the old sys.
tenn of post traders and low groggeries
on the outskirts of the posts. The regu'
lations under which the canteer
operates are already formulated, and
there will be no need for further actor
by the department.

NEW NAVY UNIFORMS
Regulations to Prescribe the Dress
to Be Worn by Dewey.
Admiraps Uniform While Not as Cor
geous as Formerly Will BE Re-
splendent Enough to Satisfy
the Most Fastidious.

The new regulations prescribing the
uniforms of naval officers have been
issued. Few material changes are made
in the existing dress, but for the first
time in many years provision has been
made for distinguishing the admiral
from other flag officers, and while Ad-
miral Dewey's modesty will not be
shocked by a revival of the gorgeous
raiment of that grade, he will be con-
spicuous enough to satisfy most of his
admirers.
To distinguish the admiral the fol-
lowing points are to be noted: He will
have on his sleeves near the cuffs two
stripes of two-inch gold lace, with one
one-inoh stripe between, set one-quar-
ter of an inch apart. A rear-admiral
will have only one two-inch stripe, with
half-inch stripe just above it. Cap
tains have four of the half-inch stripes
and ensigns have one. The epaulets OF
all flag officers are the same, but those
of the admiral are embenished with
four silver stars of five rays each, placed
equidistant from each other in the mid
die of the strap or frog of the epaulet,
with gold foul anchor one and one
eighth inches long, under each Of the
two outer stars, while rear admirals have
only two stars, one near each end Of
the frog, with a smaller silver foul an
chor in the center.
Similar devices go on the shoulder
straps, the admirars straps being
| three-eighths Of an inch longer and
one-eighth Of an inch wider than the
straps of other officers. On each side
of his collar the admiral will wear four
silver stars, with gold foul anchor un-
der each of the outer stars. Rear ad-
| mirals have two silver stars and a sill
YER foul anchor. The cooked hat Of the
admiral will have strip Of two-inch
gold lace around the outer rims Of the
fans, passing under the peaks. For rear
admirals the gold lace is half an inch
narrower. The admiral's sword belt Is
embroidered on each edge with half
inch gold braid and has quarter-inch
gold braid in the center. Rear-admirals
are entitled to half the width Of gold or
the same belt.
The cap for the admiral is exactly the
same as that for rear-admirals, and hit
coat, waistcoat, trousers, macintosh
overcoat, cloak, cravat, scarf, shoes
rubber boots, shirt, collar and gloves
are the same as for all commissioned
officers in the navy.

The same would be true of the island of

troublesome are slavery and the plural

the natives will insist upon.
The sultan of Sulu has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation to the peoples: 81

The navy department has received a
letter from the Armstrong Ship Build

the information that the recent fire in
their ordnance plant at Newcastle,
would somewhat delay the completion
of the cruiser Albany, which this coun-
try purchased from Brazil just prior
to the outbreak of the Spanish-Ameri-

The letter did not contain specific In
formation as to the length of the delay
and further information upon this
point is expected shortly. The Albany
was to have been completed and ready

PEACE PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
n satisfactory Conclus of Hostiiities In
the Philippines Expected by tho
Administration Oficials.

WASHINGTON, May 16.--A satisfactory
conclusion is expected by administra-
ton officials from the conference which
will be held by the American Philip
pine commission with the commission
which Aguinaldo proposes to send to
Manila.
dispatch to the war department
Monday from Gen. Otis announced that
Aguinaldo had sent messenger to
him expressing wish to send the COM
mission ''to arrange terms of peace"
The administration officials express the
opinion that this commission will sub
NIT to President Schurman and his as
sociates the answer of Aguinaldo to
the propositions made by the American
commission to Col. Arguelles, Agui-
naldo's cmissary, regarding the charac-
ter Of government which would be
given to the Filipinos and which Ar
guelles declared was satisfactory.
1t is probably apparent to the Fill
ipinos that there is nothing to be
gained by conducting negotiations for
the purpose Of obtaining temporary
cessation of hostillties. Gen. Otis will
not grant an armistce, as he has
shown that he does not propose to
stop fighting. no matter how many
peace emissaries Aguinaldo may send
TO Manila, unless they agree to uncon-
ditional surrender.
In his dispatch Gen. Otis shows, de-
spite the fact that Aguinaldo states
his purpose to send commission to
arrange peace, he is making prepare
tons to continue military operations
II is evident to the officials from this
dispatch that Gen. Otis has found it
necessary to change his plans. He has
been making preparations to at
tack Bacolor, where 5000 insur-
gents are believed TO be encamp-
ed, and it is presumed that
the movements reported Monday still
have that point AS the objective. Gen.
Lawton is making excellent progress
in his northward march, and the dis.
patch of Maj. Kobbc with L50o men
up the Rio Grande, supported by gun
boats aud canoes is for the purpose Of
enabling Gen, Lawton to cross the Rio
Grande without molestation by the
enemy.
The plan apparently contemplate

at Bacolor and those at Mexico, ant
