NEW ZEALAND MOOSE.
Attempt to Acclimatize Canadian Big
 Game in the Antipodes.

Canadian moose and caribou are not only being extensively hunted this season by sportsmen from all parts of the world, but by special permission of the authorities, live specimens of these species of North American large ga. are being shipped to various foreign countries. A large consign- ment of moose has lately been sent to New Zealand. About a year ago tho government of New Zealand decided to attempt to acclimatize the North American moose there and entered into correspondence with the Cana dian government. The authorities of Ottawa promised to assist the project and with the help of c. c. Chipman chief commissioner of the Hudson Bay company, thirteen baby moose. none of them more than few weeks old, were got together in the Lake Manitoba country. These were hand reared for six or eight mc1s on chopped food, fresh fruit, vegetables, etc., special care being taken to get them sufficiently tame for the long voyage that was before them. The railroad company from Por1age Ia Prairie to the Pacific coast was about l,600 Il les, and they were embarked on board the steamship Aorangi for a sea voyage of month to the An tipodes
 Four very fine specimens of New foundland caribou were recently sent from St. Johns to the National Zoo logical parks at Washington. They were shipped by United States Consul Carter at St. Johns on board the steamship Sylvia, bound for New York. They were caught when quite young by George Nichols at Deer Pond and were so docile that they would follow Nichols al ut like dogs Orders were recently received at Que bee for live beavers for Bronx Park, New York, but as the capture of these animals is at present prohibited there it may be some time before any can be supplied

fon,s Mtsta.eh Ideas About Dawson,
 in the Eioadike, Corrected
 A tall and stately Klondiker, whose bronzed face and gray goatee make impressive his urban manners and rather nervous conversation, wrote the name of Jeremiah Lynch, Dawson, on the register at the Arlington. Hs vas until 1597 a resident of San Fran cisco, and was one of the gold Demo- cratic leaders in California during the campaign Of 1896. With the Klondike discoveries he went to Alaska and en- gagged in divers enterprises, which prospered him exceedingly. Of late he has given his attention chiefly to min ing, but after a visit of two or three weeks in San Francisco is on his way to Europe, where he intends to spend the winter months, says the Washing ton Post. Dawson, with it's three daily newspapers, electric lighting plants and population of 5000 peC- ple,' said he last evening" lis now hardly a weeks journey from Seattle. and one can travel all the way with entire comfort. It is about three days by steamer from Seattle up the coast, a few hours by rail over the White Pass road, and then two days by steamer to Dawson During tha past summer a steamer has been running every day each way between the ter minus of the railroad and Dawson. That city, it is not generally known. is north of the mouth of the Yukon, the valley of which am certain. will be found capable in future years of sup porting vast population We raised big potatoes, cabbages and other vege- tables at Dawson this year, some of which have been hurried to the eXposi- tfon at Paris for exhibition. The city is well governed, and when the governor general of Canada visited us during the summer and was entertain ed by resident gentlemen in full dress suits he expressed surprise at the de Velopment the city has made. Tho Canadians are model in their rule of Dawson and of the mines in that re- zion, but I confess to a fully warrant ed regard for our regime on the Am. eriCan side ot the line.'

The selection Of Mr.. Barton as Federal
premier was in accordance with popular
sentiment throughout the commonwealth
although few believe in his power to re-
tain it. He had labored so long and
SO earnestly. In favor OF what at one
time appeared hopeless cause that it
was felt that some such rec

his due. Had Mr. Reid been
state premier he would have had
more success in forming a federal minis

would have been on a free trade basis
With the exception Of the New South

ed yourself after the usual search for
your place to which you are accustomed
at social dinners in America. you start
to admire the beautiful decorations of
the room. The most delicate arabesque
work of inlaid wood and mother-of-pearl,
probably from the Moorish designs Of
the ancient Alhambra, are embelltshed
and beautified by thousands of electric
lights which radiate from enormous
chandeliers suspended all over the room
from the lofty ceiling. A few excellent
paintings on the wall denote that culture
and its attendant refinements are MAX
ing at least some progress in the palace
of the sultans against the strict tenets
of orthodox Mohammendanism. AS the
first course is laid before us the military
band In room adjoining starts up the
Star Spangled Banner" land continues to
play an entirely American programme
through the evening.
The dinners, twenty-three in number
including his majesty, though their
chairs are five feet apart, by no means
fill the table, which is nearly one hun
dred feet in length. The sultan, as al
ready noted, sits at the head. the more
on his right and left, and the others, on
either side, alternating with the minis
tiers and pashas. Although the table is
cred with gold and silver candelabra
and huge epergneS, containing flowers
and fruit of every description. The
wants Of the company are attended to
by a Score of servants whose scarlet
costumes with gold epaulets and trim
mings make very attractive appear
ance, especially as everything is done
with military system and precision.
The table service is entirely Of gold,
which is very heavy and marked with
the royal seal, and we afterward learned
the sultan's chair was also of massive
gold. Behind his majesty stands the
royal chamberlain. who, acting as inter
prefer. carries any message the sultan
may wish to send to these guests out Of
the range of his voice. A special serv-
ant waits. on him, offering every dish
first to his majesty and then passing it
to another servant for the guests near
at hand. He is undoubtedly one of the
few in the imperial household in whom
the sultan has confidence.
In the meantime the dinner proceeds
rapidly, a course being removed as soon
as the Sultan has finished it ana the
next one brought on Immediately. and, as
his majesty is a very light eater, you
have not much time to take in your sur
roundings If you would do justice to the

Washington. June IA cablegram
has been received at the state depart
ment from special Commissioner Rock

Press report from Pekin to the effect
that an early and complete agreement
on the indemnity question is expected
and that. too. on the basis of the pro-
position ~variously now as the Amer
lean. the British and British-American.
The officials here are hopeful that the
present week will witness the close OF
the negotiations on the subject of in
demnity, though IL is possible that a
further delay may occur through a
yielding to the desire of n OF the
ministers to be allowed another oppor-
tunity to consult with his home gov
ednment.
Once the subject of indemnity is out
OF the way h withdrawal of the for
eign troops from China will progress
with rapidity; but there are still several
other matters of first order of i'm
portance TO be finally adjusted by the
ministers md one that is expected TO
give the most trouble is that of the ar
engagements OF the new trade treaties
between the powers.
