brought forth a mouse, says the
Wheaton Gazett: Reporter. One
resident of Traverse county has final
" been made to realize the awful
consequences of breaking the game
law. After spending several days
here with eyes closed, while infuent-
ial members of the community were
enjoying the forbidden sport of kill
ing game out of reason, one Of Gov.
Lind's game wardens started across
the country for Tintah. When near
that burg he discovered little boy,
son of a German farmer Of that
township, with a couple of ducks in
his possession. Here was the oppor-
tunity to vindicate the law without
costing the governor any votes, so the
boy was promptly placed under ar
rest, and taken to Tintah where he
was fined heavily ($2O we are in
jformed) and his gun confiscated. No
danger of the game supply being ex-
hausted as long as this watchfulness
is kept up. So long as the wardens
keep their eagle eyes on the infants,
fine them heavy and take away the
cheap shotgun that the poor little
unfortunate has for months been
saving nickles and dimes to buy, the
country is safe. Of course the high
toned hunter with the high priced
gun and high priced dog should not
be interfered with. Wardens are
supposed to be deaf, dumb and blind
when they run up against people of
that class, but woe unto the farmer
boy who dales to look cross-eyed at a
duck or a chicken. 1t makes man
tired to see the law enforced in case
like this, where it was never meant to
apply, and wholly disregarded in the
case of those who possess means and
influence and who slaughter hundreds
of birds while the farmer boy hardly
finds time during the fall to secure a
few to supply the table at home. The
unlawful slaughter of game has been
going on here for weeks past, and at
almost any time the warden could
nave found an opportunity to put the
law III Is Is Is had quietly .s2ea

DAVIS TO PLEAD FOR Beers.
He Will Resign as Assistant Secretary of
the Interior.

KANSAS CITY, April "A Journal
special from Washington says:
Webster Davis of Kansas City will
tomorrow tender his resignation to the
president as assistant secretary of the
interior.
Mr.. Davis decided to take this course
as the result of his visit to South At
RIGA. He Will deliver a public address
tonight ,ouching the entire scope of
tho present war and believes that he
can best do Sc while free form any
restraint which his present position
would impose Upon him.
When taking his departure for home
from Pretoria 1000 people gathered to
take leave of him at the station. They
appealed to him in tears to state their
cause to the American people and Mr..
Davis says his conscience would haunt
him if he proved recreant to that pit
iful appeal.
He believes the American people are
not truly informed on the situation.
He will therefore avail himself OF an
early opportunity to relate his expe-
lience and observations at a public
meeting that shall be free to all.

SENATE FOR A TARIFF.
Test Vote on an Amendment to the Porto
Rico Tariff Bill shows This.

VIC lhEiu biii Sho"S hhs
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-A direct
vote was taken by the senate today
on the proposition to strike from the
Porto Rico measure the provision levy
ing Is per cen of the Dingley law
duties on Porto Rico products. The
proposition was defeated by a vote of
&c to SO.
The feature of the debate today was
the speech of Beverage of Indiana.
While he advocated reciprocity be-
tween the United States and Porto
Rico he that if all efforts
to secure free trade should fail he
would support the pending bill. The
bill was under discussion throughout
the session, several important amend
ments being agreed to.
The first amendment was one impos-
ing a duty of 5 cents per pound upon
coffee imported into Porto Rico. Pet
tus of Alabama moved to strike out
the amendment, which motion involved
the question whether a tax could be
imposed on products imported into
Porto Rico which was not imposed on
the same products imported into other
ports of the United States.
NoiAii6Sl liz lASAS
OF the committee. During the Spanish
regime, he said, a tariff had been i'm
posed on coffee imported into Porto
Rico because the coffee raised there
is regarded the best in the world and
it was desired to prevent it from being
spoiled by being blended with inferior
brands.
IF you have a free trade to mutilate
the constitution" Pettus said, then
you can pass this bill, but if the con-
stitution means anything when it says
that taxes and duties shall be uniform
then you. have no such right"
Pettus' amendment was defeated, Is
to 80.
Bacon offered an amendment in the
form of a substitute for sections 2 and
3 of the committee bill, establishing
the regular Dingley tariff rates Of duty
on articles imported from foreign
countries into Porto Rico. and provid-
ing that no duties shall be levied on
articles imported into Porto Rico from
the United States, nor into the United
States from Porto Rico. Bacon ex-
planned that it was his purpose to es-
tablish in Porto Rico the tariff system
in vogue in this country.
Gallinger said the bill as it stood
was infinitely more liberal than was
the amendment offered by Bacon. The
committee, said he, had only one OBJ
ject in view and that was to legislate
for the Porto Rican people as to rem
der them happy, contented and pros
porous.
Lindsay of Kentucky offered an
amendment to Bacon's amendment pro-
viding for absolute free trade between
the United States and Porto Rico, say
ing:
Il offer this amendment because
Porto Rico is an American island; be-
III it's inhabitants are American cit
liens; because the people were prom
ised the rights of American citizens
by General Miles and because the pres
ident and secretary of wal declared
it was our plain duty to give the
Porto Rican people free trade"
Pettus then moved to strike out the
provision in section 8 providing for
a duty of Is per cent of the Dingley
law rates on products of Porto Rico
imported into this country. The mo-
ton of Pettus was defeated, 16 to SO.

LONDON, March 31.-Thc war office
has issued the following:
"BLOEMFONTEIN, March 30.-2:15
Z. m.-Owing the the activity of the en-
envy on our immediate front and their
hostile action toward burghers who
surrendered, l found it necessary to
drive them from some kopjes they had
occupied nea the Karee siding sta
ton, a few miles south Of Brandfort.
The operation was successfully carried
cut by the Seventh division, assisted
ty the First and Third cavalry brig
AIDES, under French, and lie Calais
regiment of mounted infantry. The
enemy retreated to Brandfort and our
loops now hold the kopjes. Our cas-
ualties were:
Killed, Captain Going, Scottish Bor-
derers; wounded, Captain Sellar,
Lizard, PEBBLES, C%urgonven and Ed
wards, Lieutenants Coulson and French
aEd about 100 rank and file"
The reports hat Lord Roberts will
remain at Bloemfontein another month
are probably intended for Boer con-
sumption and the recent movement of
troops and other indications point to
Preparations being well advanced for
a forward movement.
The head of the army of Lord Rob-
erts is now about twenty-one miles
rorth of Bloemfontein. 1t occupies a
cluster of hills won from the Beers.
The Beers have been using these
I;1Ic ,c n boc1 -, hoo4;o~ ,,1 fho .D,,
try, in driving off cattle and forcing
Eon-resistant Free Staters into the
ranks again. The enemy must have
been in considerable force, for Lord
Roberts sent 5000 infantry and 5000
cavalry against them.
Lord Roberts advance to Pretoria
will probably consist of a series of rap
id forward movements, in which Boer
positions will be attacked by a portion
Of the army advancing rapidly with
wheel transport, the main army coming
UP as the railway is repaired. Lord
Roberts is stripping the forces in the
minor spheres of operations Of their
wagons and transport animals in order
to hasten the advance. This is under
stood to be the reason why he recalled
Lcrd Methuen from Barkly west to
Kimberley.
The reason why a hot chase was not
made after Commandant Olivier is that
Lord Roberts did not wish 10 wear out
the cavalry transport. General French
lost 5000 horses in the relief of KIM
berley and the pursuit of General
Cronje. Lord Methuen has lost 1900
transport cattle and probably 1000
other animals since the forward move
ment began on February 13.
The advance around Bloemfontein
is through a barren country and sup
ply officers see an increased difficulty
for a great army moving along a sim
gle line of railway, ever when the lat
ter is working smoothly and with am
pie rolling stock.
