BEAR HUNT A FAILURE.
President Roosevelt Breaks Camr
Sc, Without GETTING a Shot.

President Roosevelt Breaks Camp
Without Getting Shot.
Smedes, Miss, Nov. 19.-The presi-
dents bear; hunt in Mississippi has
ended and he has not even had a shot
at bear. His last day was precisely
the same as the previous days so far
as his luck was concerned. The dogs
got a fresh trail early in the morning
and the president and Holt Collier fol-
lowed it to the Big Sunfower river.
The bear crossed a mile below the
ford they went to, and, believing he
was making for the canebrake on the
other side, they started to head it off.
When they got into the brake, how
ever, they were disguised to find the
bear had doubled on his track and
crossed the river still further down.
1t was then o'clock, and as arrange
ments had been made to break camp
at 2:SO, the president was reluctantly
compelled to- abandon further pursuit
of the elusive quarry.
Although the president has failed to
kill bear on this expedition, he has
enjoyed his outing and speaks in high
praise of the hospitality offered him.
At $3.50 the special train started for
Memphis, having added the record of
presidential bear hunt to the fame
OF Smedes, which first became known
to the outside world through the story
that here the experiment of teaching
monkeys to pick cotton was to be
tried

Winter Weather Prevails in England
and on the Continent.
London, Nov. 19.-Intense cold has
set in throughout Europe, and in Eng
land the thermometer stands at 80
Fahrenheit, accompanied by biting
easterly winds and storms along the
coast. Similar reports come from
Germany and other countries, and in
Austria winter has come unprecedently
early. Fourteen degrees Fahrenheit
are recorded at Vienna, and the
weather is still colder in Bohemia, Mo-
ravia and Galicia.
There has been a heavy fall of snow
on the Semmering pass in the Austrian
Alps. The Adriatic is being swept by
an icy gale and the rivers in Russia
are frozen over. Skating is general
in Austria and Switzerland, while
in Southern Russia an intense black
frost threatens the wholesale destruc-
ton Of the young winter crops.
France is experiencing her first
touch of winter. The temperature has
been falling steadily since Sunday.
Heavy falls of snow and intense cold
are reported from places in the prov
inces. At Lyons, Gap and Mont Lucon
snow has been falling since morning,
while at st. Etienne, Dion and Privas,
on the Central plateau, the ground is
covered.
The Durang and the Cervenes noun
talns are white with snow.

WANTS TO DRAW HIS MONEY.
Wisconsin Indian Sues the Secretary
of the Interior.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The secre-
tary of the interior and commissioner
OF Indian affairs were made respond
ents in writ of mandamus filed dur
ing the day in the United States SUI
preme court, by James Bigboy, a
Chippewa Indian Of the Bad River or
La Pointe reservation of Wisconsin,
to compel them to show cause why
the Indian agent of the reservation
should not be obliged to countersign
Bigboys check for the amount of
money deposited in the bank belonging
to Bigboy as the result of the sale of
certain lands by the petitioner. The
litigation grows out of the policy of
the interior department to refuse to
allow the Indians to receive the pro-
ceeds from sale of timber on their
lands except in installments of not
more than $40 monthly. Bigboy sold
the timber on eighty acres and wanted
to draw the $1,245 due him at once
