At the last session Of the LetsisI,turr.
among othcr changes made in the fish
ana game regulations, was a law which
placed close time of six years on carl
bou; for several seasons previous to
last fall there had been a noticeable
falling off in the number Of animals
which We're killed in Maine until AT last
the game commissioners and other in
tcrested persons decided that a close
period should be declared. Although il
is yet too early to begin TO get results
from the passage of the law, some of
the Woodsmen have already begun to
discuss rs TO wht ther there has already
been an increase III the number Of ami
mails III the game regions. Several
well known authorities say that without
a doubt the number is greater now than
at this time last year while others OK
press themselves as being positive That
there are no more within the Maine
borders than there We're at The opening
Of the season Of 1898. Game Warden
Nichols. who returned this week from
a long trip through various sections OF
the game country says that he saw no
signs of caribou nor did he hear any
reports which would go to show that
the animals We're becoming more plcn-
tiful. 50 far as can be ascertaincd not
a single caribou has been seen by any
Of the thousands Of sportsmen who
have been in the woods. one year,
however, is an insufficient test ana the

lowing sketch Of him from the New York

"Major Harrison's home Is In Indiana,

ways in Terra Haute and Indianapolis,
and for some time he was Interested in
newspapers in Montana and in New
York. His connection with public af-
fairs dates from the time his father re
ceived the Republican nomination for
President.
I'm the war with Spain he was made
an inspector-general with the rank OF
major. and was assigned TO General
Lees staff. In procuring the appoint
ment he did not have the Endorsement
o. his father, but received his commits
sion at the suggestion of Senator Fair
banks, of Indiana. ..f
"Major Harrison first came into prom
inence as the proyost-marshal Of the
camp near Jacksonville There the Off
GERS were much troubled by soldiers re-
turning from leave In an intoxicated
condition. He decreased the percentage
OF drunkenness by giving the offenders
a cold shower bath. which soon sobered
them up.
"He also got his name into the papers
for raising the United States flag in
Eabana several hours before the time
set by the joint commission"

felt there was no other influence than

washington advices state that General
Otis has changed his mind with regard
TO the number OF troops needed in the
Philippines. In the light Of recent devel-
opments. il is explained, he has about
doubled his figures, and is now ready 10
welcome the suggestion of an army Of Co.
O)0 men instead of the force of 10000 eff
fectlve fighting men, at which he put the
requirement in his earlier estimate.
In commenting on this, the Boston Her
add says:
1--WE are not surprised at the change
though so large a correction In 50 snort
a time might well, under normal condi-
tions. raise doubts ABOUT the soundness
Of Otiss military judgment. But In TINS
matter the conditions are rather out OF
rRe. When General Otis some weeks ago
cabled that 10000 men would suffice, we
said that his reply was merely - renec-
tion of official sentiment at washington
But now President Mckinney I'M
der the prodding of Secretary Root, mas
abandoned his former policy. and decided
TO enlist 30 900 volunteers, or, perhaps, the
whole contingent of 5000 men. So Gene
raj OTIS. compacently rejecting again
the change of mind by the administra-
ton. comes Loyalty to the conclusion that
60 900 men are needed in the Philippines"
That's lust about the size Of It, The
fact is that, while at times Otis has been
a little slow in catching on, he has never
failed in the end to show that he under
stood what he was put in the Philippines
for Witness, for instance, how exactly
some of his reports of the success Of
our operations on the islands have re-
hected what the administration wanted
