Hunting the Kangaroo.

When brought to bay, the kangaroo
Jumps like a flash for the hunters
chest and tries to crush 1t In with his
fore feet. To prevent this each man
wears across his breast two or three
inch thick mating. Armed with
spear, with club attachment at the
other end, they ride upon swift horses
into herd,
with the agility and equlpoise of cir
Gus riders they stand erect upon their
horses and use their spears and clubs.
The kangaroo Is able to jump Clear
over a horse. AS the game Is bagged
1t Is skinned. and the skin Is stretched
on the ground and pegged down to pre-
vent shrinkage. The flesh furnishes
meat for the camp.
Each man places his private mark
upon his booty. and when they have
100 apiece they return back to civiliza-
ton. There are 20 varieties of kangn-
roos, among them the blue. red walla-
by, black, gray and forester, the latter
furnishing the best leather, as 1t lives
mainly In wooded sections.

Court Sustained.

The cases of the Hudler sisters
against A. J. Goodhue, which were dis
missed by the Court of Common Pleas
of Jefferson county, and a writ OF error
or appeal taken by the plaintiffs to
the Court of Appeals, were argued last
Tuesday. On Saturday evening this
tribunal affirmed the Judgment of the
Common Pleas Court, deciding again
for Goodhue. The decision holds that
the sisters themselves cannot sue, but
that suit for them must be brought by
their father. Such a suit was brought
by the father, tried before a jury, and
a verdict found for Mr.. Goodhue. 1t is
supposed that this will end the series
of suits.

Friendship.
PARIS, April 1.-THE important
festivities attending President Lou
bets visit to the Riviera were
brought to climax today in the
double naval demonstration at VILE
franche and Toulon. Both proved
splendid spectacles. The profuse dec
orations at Toulon, the fIotillas OF
pleasure boats fitting about the har-
Dor, the gaily dressed warships lying
in the roadstead and the animation OF
the immense crowds of strangers jost-
ling one another in the streets and
along the wharves impaired a color
and picturesqueness to the scene
which outvied the situation at Vile
franche. The French people, however
derive as much pleasure from the in.
cidents at villefranche as from the
meeting of M. Loubet and the Duke
Of Genoa at Toulon.

LONDON, April 15.--Great Britain

China, and though the government re-

The Amount Too High.

Washington, April 1.-THE last ad-
vices to the state department from Mr..
Rockhill contain further details re-
specting the amount OF indemnities
claimed from China by the powers. 1t
appears that these claims have been
much exaggerated in some statements,
although the sum total is still far in
excess of the amount of money 1t is
believed here that China can raise. II
is the belief Of the state department
that the total claims should not be
allowed to exceed $3.50. 900, 900 or $780,
100000. According to the information
received here, the British claim. so
far as formulated. is reasonable in
amount, as compared with other
claims. In fact, the United States and
Japan represent, in these negotiations,
the moderate element. whose desire
is to prevent the imposition Of charges
that shall dstroy the Chinese govern
ment and result in the division OF the
empire. None of the claims exceeds
SlO0,OO0,O0O, and even the largest Is
something less than this amount. This
is believed to be the Russian claim,
which is fixed at $9O.0O0.0OO. The Ger
man claim is flexible. ranging between
$6O.OO0,OOO and sSO.OOO,OOO but is near
er the former mark at present, though
lit, doubtless, will grow AS already
stated, the claim of the United States
is $25.OO0.OOO, and. with these few to
tails, it will be seen that if the remain
ing powers are to be allowed pro
portionate share, the aggregate win be
beyond China's ability to pay, which
has been tentatively placed at $500,
100000. Nothing has yet been deter
mined respecting the method Of rails
ing the indemnity fund. even after al
agreement is reached.
