alton made in 1895 by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs at that time Baron Marschall Won Bieber-
stein, to the effect that Germany's only policy
was the maintenance of the Ira wal in
dependent State, in accordance with the treaty
of 1894. He replied that communication had
been received from the German Government
relative to the convention of 1884. which. as
matter of fact, he added, was terminated by the
state of war

the stories of Government interference in the

the field were selected by Lord Wolseley. subject
to the approval of the Secretary of State for

GAME PROTECTION ASSOCIATION TO FIGHT
BILL REGARDING STUFFED BIRDS
Eugene G. BIackford, Mr. O'Connor and Mr..
Ludington, a committee from the Association
for the Protection Of Game of this city will go
10 Albany to-day TO protest against the progress
CT a bill introduced few days ago in the As
sembly with such drastic provisions that. If 1t
becomes law and is literally construed, will
subject the American Museum of Natural His
tory in this city to fines aggregating 100000
for having in It's possession stuffed birds. In
the bills present shape dead birds. no matter If
stuffed for scientific purposes, If found in the
possession Of any one subject the owner or pos
SCISSOR to a fine of S25 for each bird. The game
protectors of the State would. il is said. be
thorlzed 20 inspect private dwellings and take
note of the stuffed birds.
It is not believed that the bill pass in its
present shape, but the association does not pro-
pose to take any chances with il, and that is
why a special meeting of the association was
held at the Union Club on Monday night, with
President Robert B. Roosevelt in the chair. 1t
seems that dealers in this city have sent broad
cast throughout the State circulars informing
country sportsrnen that they will pay cash for
any kind Of dead birds. matter what the
breed size or species. The birds for mil
linery purposes OF course. the handsomer the

the rural sections among bird lovers, and it
seems that the bill is Of the results of a
crusade that has been begun against the bird
killers. The Association for the Protection of
Game is IN favor of drastic law, but will op-
pose any bill which does not exempt museums
and private collections of stuffed birds
Another thing that occupied the attention of
the association on Monday night the unoffi-
cial knowledge secured by several of the mem
bers that Governor Roosevelt intends to make
sweeping changes this spring in the personnel Of
the Fish, Game and Forestry Commission. 1t is
said there will be nearly clean sweep. The as

A WAR CRITICS VIEWS.

London. Feb. dispenser Wilkinson in THE
Morning Post" discussing the news from Rens-
burg, says:
This intelligence is the natural price paid for a
blow elsewhere. The concentration at Modder
River is apparently accompanied by a weaken
ing of the force at Colesberg. and Of this the
Beers have taken advantage TO assume the
offensive.
Meanwhile 1t locks as though the enemy had
withdrawn their forces from Magersfontein to
reinforce those at Colesberg, where Boer vic
tory would threaten British communications be-
tween Cape Town and MOdder River.
Reviewing the whole campaign Mr. Wilkinson
says that the type of the coming operations re-
calls that OF the American Civil War.

London. Feb. lat is known that the military
attaches have gone to join Lord Roberts at the
Modder River another move preluding an ad-
vance.
1t is learned that two hundred Beers were
killed wounded during General MacdonaId's
reconnaissance. There is no confirmation of the
reported sortie of British troops from Ladysmith
nor of the Boer outfanking movement
A report comes. from Durham that British ar
tillery forced the Beers to evacuate their camp
on Hlangwane Hill, south of Coenso 1t would
be an important advantage II the British were
able to occupy the position.
The Boer invasion OF Zululand is causing keen
anxiety. Apart from the fact that it threatens
General Buffers communications, it is difficult to
believe the Zulus long be kept quiescent
while their cattle are Communicated and their
country is overrun by their hereditary foes
The friends of Cecil Rhodes are becoming
alarmed at his possible fate and have sent an
emssary to see DR.. Leyds the diplomatic agent
of the Beers in Europe. in regard to the probable
course the Beers would pursue in the event of
his capture. DR.. Leyds assured the interme-
diaries that the Beers did not intend to kill Mr.
Rhodes. but, he added. they would certainly hold
him hostage until the indemnity for the
Jameson raid was paid. In view OF the develop
ments since the raid, the Beers have also de-
cided to double the amount Of the indemnity de-
manded, so Mr., Rhodes's friends will have to
hand over t2.OoO,OOO before he is released. II is
also learned definitely that DIR. Jameson is still

ports.
