Game Is Very Plentiful.
London, June Sir Henry Ham
ilton Johnston, special commissioner
for the Uganda protectorate, has re-
turned to London after an absence of
two years. He brings stories OF
Uganda rivalling Henry. M. Stanley's
description of Darkest Africa" Sir
Henry relates that the country sur
rounding Montoalan is totally depopu-
lated as a result of intertribal wars
and is consequently m~arvelously
stocked with big game that are as tame
as English park deer. Zebras and an
telopes can be approached to within
ten yards and there is no sport in kill
ing them. Elephants and r%hinoceros
are also abundant and according to
Sir Henry lions in Uganda are too busy
eating ha%rtebeeste to notice a passing
caravan. The prehistoric giraffe was
discovered in this country by the com,
missioner, who proposes to maintain
the region referred to as a national
park. He photographed a race of ape
men in the Congo forest differing en-
tirely from Stanley's pigmies and Sc
cured ~phonogragh records of their Ian
guage and music.

Cattle and Corners Him.
London, June "A dispatch to the
foreign Office from the consul general
of Somaliland says that the Mad Null
lah expedition had heavy fighting May
%. The flying column of mounted in
fantry under Captain Merewether
struck the Mullah's supply camp dur
ing a night march and captured 5000
head of cattle, killed one important
chief and captured another, covered
100 miles, fought a sharp action and re-
turned to its base, all in "a hours.
The main force of the British under
Colonel Swaine departed for Eldab,
June 2, leaving MacNeill, with 800
men, to guard Zariba. Swaine's col
umn advanced against the Mullah's
base. In the meantime the Mullah,
with 5000 followers, attacked Zariba
three times. He was finally driven off
by Captain MacNeill with a loss of 500
men. The British in Zariba had ten
men killed and nine wounded.
The Mullah is now cut off from his
base and a decisive action is immi-
nent.

REARDoN PLACED ON TRIAL.
Charged With Sending Threatening
Letter to Banker Warner.

Kansas City. June Judge
Fischer, in Kansas City, Kan, yester-
day called for trial the case of NJ. D.
Beardon, newspaper solicitor and post
master of Bonner Springs, Kan. dur
ing the last administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland, who is charged with
attempting to extort $1,000 from Frank
Warner, a banker of that place. The
prominence of Beardon and Warner
and their standing in the community,
the sensational circumstances sur
rounding the case, has made it the
chief topic of discussion in Bonner
Springs and the surrounding country.
The prosecution rests on a threatening
letter; anonymous in it's character,
which Warner received through the
mails on Feb. 25. The writer threat
ened to blow up Warmers house with
dynamite unless he placed $1,000 in
gold at a point on the outskirts of Bon
ner Springs. A bag containing slugs
was deposited by the banker as di-
rected. 1t was taken by Beardon and
he was arrested. Many witnesses will
testify in Beardon's behalf.

The division in the house of COM
mons on the motion made by Mr.

SAMMY AND HIS FRIEND.

ing the question of asking the police
to dispose of the dog Mrs. Hauer
missed her only child, little Sammy.
A horrible thought struck her. Could
the dog have entered the nursery,
which is adjoining the room in which
they had kept the dog? All went up
breathless and before the door heard
the whining of the animal and cry of
the baby!
Mr.. Hauer was first to recover. He
opened the door and saw Dicky, the
dog, and Sammy rolling over the floor,
playing with each other in actual de-
light.
The grown-up people were speech
less. The ferocious animal of five min
utes ago had become meek lamb in
the hands of the baby, who had doubt
less pushed open the door of the nur-
sery and made friends with the dog.
Diclly is now perfectly changed. He
is the pet of the family, obeys orders
from his new masters, but allows no
one to touch him except little Sammy,
over whom he watches like a guardian
angel

HOW FISHES BREATHE.
They Need Very Little Oxygen to
Keep the Blood Warm Enough
to Sustain Life.

The gills of fish are situated at
the back part of the sides of the
head, and consist of a number of
vascular membranes, which are gen.
orally in double, fringelike rows,
>fXed by the base only; sometimes
these are featherlike, and sometimes
they are mere folds of membrane at
tached at each end over the gill cavi-
ties. In general, there are four gills
on each side, though in some fish
there are more. In fishes that have
bones the gills are attached to the
outer edge of bony arches connect
ed with the bone of the tongue and
with the base of the skull, the cen
nection at each end being by inter-
vening small bones, while the cavi-
ty containing the gills on each side
of the head is covered by bony
plate with two subordinate pieces.
1t is by the movement of these bony
plates that the water is expelled
which is taken in through the mouth,
and which, after passing among the
gills and supplying them with air,
passes out by the gill openings at the
back of the head.
The fish is a cold-blooded animal
that is, its temperature is very slight
ly above that of the water in which
it lives, and it therefore needs but
little oxygen to keep the blood warm
enough to sustain its life.
This oxygen, supplied to the blood
by the gills in respiration, is not Oh
tanned by decomposing the water, but
by separating the air from it. 1t is,
therefore, necessary that the water
in which fish live should be supplied
with air, and this is one of the di-
rect benefits of the agitation of
oceans and lakes by winds.
Fishes confined in aquariums often
die for this very reason-because the
water is not aerated. They consume
all the oxygen in the closed vessel in
which they are placed, and no more
being supplied, they die, and may be
said to be drowned, because they per-
ish from the same cause that occa-
sions death by drowning i'll lung
breathing animals-that is, want of
| air

RELIC HUNTERS HURT TREES.
Those Planted by Ii Hung Chang at
Tomb of Gen. Grant Are Having
Hard Fight for Life.

Recent visitors to Grants tomb, in
Riverside drive, New York City, have
noticed a tendency toward decay in
the trees planted near the mausoleum
by Ii Hung Chang upon the occasion
of that distinguished celestial states
mans visit to the final resting place
of his friend, the general, several
years ago.
Vandals and curiosity seekers have
combined to arrest the growth of
trees and destroy their life by tear
ing leaves and branches from their
boughs, and although extra vigilance
is maintained TO guard against the
Dissertation the trees continue to be
despoiled.
A substantial fence, with extra
guards, will probably be provided by
the park commissioners. In contrast
to the care taken of the Ii Hung
Chang trees, it is pointed out that
the japanese, ever since the visit of
Gen. and Mrs. Grant to the kingdom
of the mikado, have carefully pro-
tected and nourished the trees which
the general and his wife planted on
that occasion.

ONE LATIN FRIEND.
EcuadOr's Progressive President
shows His Admiration for the Uni
Sraras

President Alfaro, of the Republic
OF Eucador, has recently shown his
friendship for the United States in
new manner" observed Mr.. Perry NJ.
DeLeon, of Savannah, consul general
at Guayaquil, reports the Washington
Post. HE has brought into this
country a considerable number of
school teachers for the purpose of
lnstructing his people in the English
language. But in other ways he has
made 1t plain that he desires friendly
and intimate relations with the great
republic to the north. His term of
office expires in August, but Senior
Plaza, his successor, is of the same
party, and will undoubtedly pursue
the same policy.
The completion of the railroad
from the seashore through the noun
tains and into Bogota will strike
death-knell to revolutions in Ecuador.
Now an independents can raise a rev.
olution and gain considerable head
way before the government is able
to secure any definite information
about it, but when it becomes pos
sible to transport troops in a few
days by rail into the interior such re-
bellions against authority will be i'm
practical. The road, an Anglo-Amer-
lean project, of which Mr.. Archie
Harmon, of Staunton, Va, was the
promoter, will cost $12, 100000, and
should be completed in about five
years. The government assures the
corporation the right to operate the
road for so years, and also, for the
same period, all mineral rights in the
republic. Some Is expert prospectors
have been securing the interior of
Ecuador, searching for minerals, and
are said to have made some valuable
discoveries of gold. The company
will probably build branch railroad
on its own account to develop a sec
ton of the country, particularly the
rubber forests
Mr.. De Leon, who is now on his
way back to Ecuador, says he is
heartily in favor of canal for the
development of trade with South
America, and that he is convinced the
Panama route is the only feasible
one. THE objections urged against
a sea-level canal" said he, ARE really
not objections at all Furthermore,
we already have the right to control
canal across Panama, just as we
protect the railroad property there
