estimated at something like half a million
pounds
This requires an annual slaughter of 90
900 elephants. Africa supplies the greater
part of the ivory of the world and remains
the happy hunting ground for the ivory
collector But with the rapid advance Of
the railroad into African wilds and the de-
velopment of the hitherto dark continent
1t is feared that the doom of the wild ele-
plant is not far off.
Already the wild elephants of India have
become so scarce that considerable ivory is
imported by that country. To supply the
demand for ivory the dead and gone herds
of elephants which once roamed over the
plains of Siberia have been drawn upon
and large amount of fossil ivory is an
nually sent to the continent of Europe
where it is esteemed more than it is in
England and the United States.
The finest ivory comes from Africa and
1t Is found that the warmer the climate in
which the elephant lives the finer ivory is
in his tusks The finest pair of tusks ever
brought TO England came from Uganda
and were sold for nearly 81 900 Ordinary
tusks are worth about $500 each
The demand for ivory is constantly in
creaslng, and the supply getting less, so
the price is steadily rising. In Shefield
alone there is enough ivory worked up to
require the slaughter of 22,00O elephants a
year. Ultimately the dealers are afraid the
FOSSIL ivory will be the only sure reliance

EXCITING COOKING MAIN.
Washington Chickens Help the West
to Defeat the East.


A number of local sporting men went
over to Baltimore yesterday evening to
witness the long-talked-of and frequently
postponed cooking main between the east
and west, represented by Frank Casey of
Boston and John Mackin, the Chicago mil
licnaire. The cocks We're pitted at a quiet
resort near Baltimore, and sports" from
midnight the first pair was shown, Casey
| and Mackin handling their respective chick
ems. The main was for 81 600 a side, best
eight out of fifteen fights, with a bet of
800 each fight. The earlier part of the
Casey, who retired from the pit after losing
the third fight and employed Ed Kramer
of Baltimore to handle his entries began
to show some extra fine birds the result
hnaily reaching seven victories each. The
deciding light was preceded by heavy bet
ting, there being a number of New Eng
land men present who backed the Boston
bird loyalty. The western contingent were
equally as confident that Mackin would
win, and the District representatives had
similar faith. Over $40, 900 was wagered on
| the result of this single fight, and nearly as
much more depended upon 1t, having been
bet at the beginning of the main upon the
! final result. After long fight Mackin's
| chicken won. Local interest in the main
was increased by the fact that Mackin's
chickens were trained by Dick Lee of this
| city, and numbered among them several of
| the promising Gpeenvale strain of game
cocks bred by Harry Loor also of the
District. Three of the Greenvales were pit
| ted during the main and all won. The main
was not decided until $50 o'clock this
morning.

GO IN FOR REFORM
Senator Chandler and Other
N. Hampshire Republicans
of Prominence
Believe Several Things NeCeS.
Sary to Continued Repub-
lican Supremacy.
Railroad Power Must be Broken
and Trusts be Sincerely
Opposed.

CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 29.-United
States William E. Chandler, ex-Gov.
ernor Charles A. Busiel and others,
have issued an address to the Repu b.
icans Of New Hamshire, inviting CO.
operation IN opposing what is termed
"the railroad power in the state, and
in suppressing evils arising from indus
trial combines, and advocating i'm
proved election laws and other reforms.
The address, in part, says:
1.-The undersigned Republicans sollc1,
your cooperation in efforts within the
party to obtain:
"Flrst-The statutory prohibition O.
free passes on railroads.
"Second-The repeal Of the power O.
the supreme court to decide that any
steam or electric road which its pro-
moters desire TO build is unnecessary
and hostile to the public good.
"Third-A primaries law governing
the caucuses and conventions OF the
political parties.
"Fourth-The discontinuance of the
collection for alleged campaign ex'
penses of large sums of money from OF.
fce-holders, the treasures and owners
Of railroads and other sources, and the
promotion Of honest election reforms.
"Fifth-The suppression OF the evils
arising from trusts"
Under the head Of trusts, the address
advocates the universal application in
the state and nation of the principle of
unrestricted competition which is the
life Of trade and the basis Of all pros
perity in society, and the election OF
members of the legislature and congress
who will enforce these principles.
The conventions will readily enough
denounce trusts and declare for compe.
tition. The danger is that the cause
will be betrayed by representatives and
senators in the state legislatures and in
the national congress. so that extraor.
dinary pains must be taken by the peo
pie to stand against such betrayal.
The appeal concludes:
1.-The undersigned believe that the
neglect by Republicans generally to pur'
sue earnestly and in good faith the five
objects named above will endanger Re
publican ascendancy in state and ma
ton, while with the sincere and effect.
i've pursuit of these objects, state and
national victory in 1900 will be
achieved"

abroad that in the event Goebel is given

Dy the throwing out Of Jefferson. Knox:
and johnson counties, Senator Deboe-
Senator Lindsay, Governor Bradley,
General Taylor and other Republican
leaders will unite in an appeal to Presi-
dent Mckinley to declare martial
law in Kentucky, recognizing Taylor
as governor and supporting his admin
istration. Senator Deboe stated to the
Associated Press that h felt confident
no emergency would arise requiring
the assistance of the federal authorities.
but intimated he had assurances that
federal aid could be had if 1t became
necessary.
There is no change in the situation
here on either side. The expected
move OF Goebel leaders to take the
gubernatorial controversy into the
courts prior to its handling by the
state election board has not material-
lied so far and many believe it has
been abandoned.
1t is probable the sitting of the state
election board will extend over several
days, and it is stated that the Demo-
cratic commissioners will refuse to be-
gin canvassing the returns in the event
Bradley places a military guard over
