In the House.

Washington, June 10.-The house to- day defeated the bill to transfer certain forest reserves to the agricultural de- partment and to authorize the presi- dent to establish game and fish pre- serves. Its death was accomplished by striking out the enacting clause. The motion was made by MT. Cannon and was carried by 100 to 70. He claimed that the bill would greatly increase the cost of administering forest reserves, and declared that the estimated receipts for the next finance year already were exceeded by the appropriations up to the present time by over $51 000,0
 The house then adopted a special or der for the consideration of the Corliss Pacific cable bill by vote of 10S'to 73 and for the remainder of the afternoon listened to the author of the measure argue in favor of it's passage. MT. Dal- zell, of Pennsylvania, who presented the rule, announced that he was oppos- ed to the government building a cable to the Philippines. He said he favored the construction of an American cable by American capital, and gave notice that at the proper time he would offer as a substitute bill to authorize the president to contract for the construc- tion of a cable under certain conditions. The minority of the commerce commit tee oppose the Corliss bill on the ground that the Commercial Pacific company is now at work building a cable which is to be laid by 1907.

HOW HE GOT A DOVER FOR HIS
 BRIDE,

| Some years ago, when the West was wilder and more woolly than it is to-day | a young man, since grown rich and now | famous as financier and capitalist was a regular boarder at hotel in a | frontier town. He and a number of his friends were wont to resort every eve ming to the smoking-room of the hotel which they used as sort of club, and their wants were attended to by a fair waitress, who may be called Miss White. She was a nice, quiet girl, without any nonsense about her, and
 attended to the wants of her patrons
 with regularity and promptitude. One
 evening" after she had retired for the
 night, the landlord informed the com
 pany that this was the last time she
 would wait upon them, as she was go-
 ing to be married next day. When the
 landlord had gone out, Jimmie Hughes,
 the young man referred to, got up and said he thought it only right that they should show their appreciation of her service by making her a little present
 on this suspicious occasion He took a
 sheet of paper, wrote his name down for $200, and passed it round. The girl
 was popular and the idea caught on
 and when it came round again to gen. erous Jimmie the total amounted to something over $2200O. They summoned the landlord, handed over the amount to him and asked him to give it to Miss White next morning with their hearty good wishes for her happiness.
 Next day she was married, and the happy bridegroom was-Jimmie Hughes

BOXING AT YALE
Is Not a Recognized Sport-Fred
 Wenck Causes Mich Comment

Is Not Recognized Sport-Fred
 Wenck Causes Much Comment.
 Fred Wenck. who has achieved con- siderable fame as a swimmer and who is registered as q member of the Yale Law school, will leave New York city to-day for England, where he will man. age a team of boxers who are alleged to represent Yale and Harvard, or, accord ing to reports of last evening, to man. age team which he claims will repre- sent Yale and Columbia. This matter has caused considerable comment at Yale and Wenck has been warned by the Yale authorities that under no con- sideration whatever will he be allowed to take a team of boxers to the corona tion exercises as a Yale team or repre- sentative of Yale. Boxing is not recog- nized at Yale and the authorities have so notified those in charge of the coro- nation weeks athletic programme.
 Instructor Dole of the Yale gymna- sium, who gives private boxing lessons to many of the students. stated last evening that he understood that Wenck was to take two Yale men with him on the European trip, but MT. Dole did not know who the men were. It was stated on the campus that Wenck would man. aged 'Kid" Broad the prize fighter and one other professional, and that no Yale men would accompany him.
 Wenck, who is the recipient of $700, according to reports, the money com ing from those in charge of the corona tion exercises, proposes to take team of boxers to Europe with him, but, de- spite his claims that his men are Yale men, no one at Yale knows who the men are.
 Wenck has been in the Law school for some time but will not receive a di- ploma this year, although this is the year in which he is supposed to receive the same.

BABOON HUNTING IN SOUTH
 AFRICA

Sometimes the baboons become sufficiently bold to visit the farm in the daytime. This occurred on one occasion at farm where I was staying in the Sneeuberg district. The animal entered
 into one of the outhouses. One of the boys had noticed the baboon go into the building, and hastened up and made fast the door, Then he informed us of what he had done. The owner of this farm possessed a very fierce mastiff. well have some sport" he said we II nut Nero in the house with the old man " The dog was sent for, and we went 10 the outhouse and opened the door and let it in. The uproar inside for the next few minutes was some thing alarming. Then it died away. "Nero's finished him off" said our host; let's go in So we opened wide the door and walked in. As the last of us walked in the baboon sprang up from the corner where 1t had evidently gone on hearing our approach and darted through the open door and away In the opposite corner was poor Nero, stretched out, a mass of bleeding wounds, grooming piteously. It was a revelation to all of us of the fighting qualities of the "old man baboon. After this it was easy for us to under stand how these animals, with couple of strokes, can literally tear all the flesh away from the breast of a sheep. London Field.
