THE MOOSE HUNTER.

[From Forest and Stream1
Ihere IS no better test of what there
is of a man than to strip him of the
conVen1onalities and accessories of civ
ilization and leave him to his own re-
sources in the heart of a wilderness like
that of Maine. Some of those whom the
world esteems great and wise would
SIarVe forthwith, while many of those
who live and die unknown to fame
would wax and grow fat There is
one denizen of the Maine woods that
stands pre- eminent to all others which
claim the attention of SpOrtSTnen-pre-
eminent in size, pre-eminent in the I'M
couth grandeur of his gigantic bulk
pre- eminent the time, patience, labor
and skill involved in his capture, and

advisedly, for 1 have been there I'm
aglne, If you can. a huge bundle Of
VASCULAR power, reared on great stilt-
like legs to a height of seven feet, with
bristling name, and eyes which CLEAN
viciously from beneath broad massive
antlers which sway with the huge head
eight to ten feet above the ground.
Imagine yourself standing, if you
have strength to stand, in front of this
frightful apparition, and only a few
yards distant, with the knowledge that
if you don't kill him he will very likely
kill you, your heart throbbing so pain
fully that your ears fairly ache with its
pulsations the blood racing through
your veins like molten lead. the sweat
starting from every pore in pour skim
while your brain 1abors in vain to re-
gain control of the wild tumult which
possesses you. Imagine all this, if you
can, and then multiply the sensations
which it calls up two or three million
times, more or less, and you will have
a result which approaches the reality

his rifle and trying to hug himself, at

Commander in China Not Heard
From for p Week

Washington, Aug. 27.-Since the dis
patch from Consul Fowler was received.
late Thursday night, the department OF
state has received no adv1ces from any
source in China, except a brief cable
gram from Minister Conger inquiring
how he should route his messages. The
text Of the dispatch, which, ii was ex-
planned, was very brief and purely ad-
ministrative in character, was not made
public.
The war department has received no
dispatch from Gen. Chaffee. known to
have come directly from him, Tor ABOUT
q week. CablegramS signed "Chamee
have been received, but, as they contain
ed only lists of casualties, 1t IS assumed
Ger in Gen. Chaffee's name. From no OF
fetal source has the department learn
ed of the departure of 40 Americans
from Pekin to Tien Tsin. as reported in
a special dispatch to a London newspa-
per under date of August 10.
AdViceS from Gen. Chaffee are ex-
pected hourly, as the military telegraph
line between Tien Tsin and PelSin, which
illas been interrupted, presumably is be-
ing or has been repaired. Imperative in
structions were sent yesterday to the
commander of the United States forces
at Tien Tsin to have the line restored
at once under the protection of a cavalry
detachment.
A suspicion exists here that the delay
in messages both from and to Washing
ton is rather between Che Foo and
Fekin. From Che Foo to Shanghai the
telegraph line is in control of the Chi
nese authorities. and it is suspected they
are not so prompt in the transmission
of messages as they might be.
In the absence of official information
from China or from United States Off
GERS there, interest centered in the diplo-
matte phases of the existing trouble. The
runOr of a declaration of war by Russia,
1t is explained, may have grown out of
the operation of the troops of the car in
the protection of the southeastern 'front.'
Ter of his empire; or it may have arisen
from the reported statement of the COM
Gnander Of the Russian forces at Pekin
that his government was at war with
China and, therefore, he must prohibit
communication with the Chinese. Meth
er the operations of Russia on her 'front.'
Ter nor the prohibition by a Russian
general of communication with the Chi
nese would constitute, it is said, a de-
claration OF war by Russia. No general,
by mere dictum, could declare war
Even his statement that his government
had declared war would not make it So

State Officers Found Offices Unin-

The state house smoke consumers did
a big days work in two hours this fore
noon, smoking the newly plastered and
finished walls in the upper part of the
building and causing the lower floors
to resemble the interior of a furnace
room in a foundry
The air was filled to suffocation with
the black. grimy coal smoke from the
state house boilers which are used to
operate the electric light plant and the
elevator.
The electric lights which were burning
on the lower floor of the capitol resem-
bled a miners candle in the abyss OF a
coal shaft The. governors Office and
the adjoining offices on the second floor
were filed with smoke and those offices
on the next floor were reeking with gas
from the boiler fires.
On the succeeding floors great clouds
OF smoke hung like pail over the new
~ finished rooms and the entire building
was smoky and foul-smelling.
1t was explained that the accident was
due to the fact that the windows for the
light shafts which pierce the walls from
cellar to garnet had been left open and
that the wind had blown the smoke
through these openings into the shaft.
For several hours the condition was un-
changed Officials and employees were

the snoke-consumers which had been
put in at the state house by Engineer

MONSTER TRAIN.
Official g. A. r. Train the Largest.
Ever Leaving Topeka.

The heaviest passenger train that ever
pulled out of the Santa F'e depot in this
city left here yesterday afternoon 1t
was pulled by two monster engines, and
consisted of 20 coaches, heavily loadF !.
1t constituted the official Kansas G. A.
r. train to the national encampment OF
the veterans of the civil war in Chicago.
A train of ten or twelve coaches is
considered heavy. When the equipment
exceeds this number to any extent two
trains are usually run. 1t was preferred,
however, to run the G. A R. train with
a double header and it consequently
represented one of the heaviest passen-
ger trains ever run on any road.

that his clients are Republicans and that
if they are in the habit of writing to
governors and presidents, they are peo-
pie of good standing. The letter reads
as follows:
Executive Office, Columbus Ohio, Nov
6, 1898.
Miss Pearl Ward, Hamilton, Ohio.
My Dear Little Miss: I am directed
by Governor Mckinley to say that he
was very much pleased with your letter
horn that he can send you. He is very
much obliged to you for your kind
wishes Very respectfully,
JAMES BOYLE,
Private Secretary.
The letter was in answer to one writ
ten by Pearl Ward to the famous Ohio
statesman asking for a tin horn1 to use
in blowing him into the White House.
The political faith of the Wards cannot
be questioned
Charles Johnson was placed on the
stand by the prosecution and upon
cross examination Lawyer Jamison
said, Where did you get that hat?"
The audience laughed and the court
raped for order. But the lawyer want
ed to know if Mr.. Robinson had not
given him the hat to testify and he
said he had not.
Katherine Schultz was the next wit
ness She explained that she was walk
ing with Della Robinson when Pearl
Ward attacked her. She left Della and
ran for help.
Della Robinson said on the stand
Pearl Ward met me and said, VIII
you take back what you said I said
1 wouldn't, for I hadn't said anything
to take back. She pulled me by the
hair of my head into her yard
She then held up for the inspection of
the jury the shirt waist she had worn
during the tussel.
Pearl Ward took the stand and testi-
fed that Della did all the fighting. She
said Della tore her sisters skirt off
and said, after that gave her all she
wanted"
1t took the jury five minutes to reach
a verdict of mot guilty"
