ED AT MAMMOTH HUT
SPRINGS.
STATE GAME WARDEN IS
PLANNING FOR MEETING
Protectors of Game Animals Are to
Journey Through National Park to
Field in Recognition of Noble Serv-
ices-New Laws Mentioned.

Twill be gamy sight when the game
wardens of eight states assemble at
Mammoth Hot Springs next June and,
with Major John Pitcher, acting super
intendent of the Yellowstone National
park as chaperone, make a royal junket
through the worlds greatest game pre-
serve.
AS the coach rolls along through the
land of geysers with flare Of trumpets
and a whoop from Game Warden w. r.
Scott of Montana from his honored posi-
tion on the box seat, the animals Of the
park will come out to do obesanee to
their official protectors.
The buffalos In Hayden valley viii line
the roadway and the old bulls of the
bunch will below sonorous welcome to
the wardens. The deer and elk of the
valley of the Gardiner river will peep
through the willows and make soft GOO
goo eyes at the party. The old bears at
the Fountain hotel, who have hobnob-
bing with celebrities from Mark Hanna
to Peter Breen for the past six years,
will form in line on the dump back of
the hotel and make bear smiles and
bows at the junketers.
Spouting, Kissing and Roaring.
When the coach rolls into the Upper
Geyser basin there will be spouting
and hising and a roaring of natures
steam calliopes that would make the
whistles of the Butte mines on New
Years night sound like the echo of a
mouth organ and the coach will roll on
with flare Of the big trumpet and a
yodel from Scout Peter Holt, who knows
the gophers in the park by name.
"There will be game wardens from
Washingtonand Oregon, from Utah and
Idaho, from Wyoming, North Dakota
and Minnesota" said Game Warden
Scott this morning, "and they will all
have an opportunity to see more game
than they ever saw before.
"The Idea of convention of game
wardens occurred to Major Pitcher and
myself last month. The major has al
ways taken great interest In the pro-
lection Of wild animals of the West and
we thought by bringing the representa-
tives of the mountain states together on
trip OF this kind we could do more for

Brussels, April 9.-King Leopold was
mobbed by socialists here this afternoon
on his arrival from Biarritz.
The meeting between the socialists and
the king was quite accidental but 1t was
none the less unpleasant for his majesty
whose automobile was surrounded by
excited socialists, who shouted:
Long live the republic;" Long live
universal suffrage" and waved red flags
in the kings face.
The socialists had collected at the rail-

 South Africa.

Kimberley, Griqualand. West, Mon- day, June 16.-Commandant Kemp. Gen. eral De Larey's lieutenant. who surren- dered at Mafeking. June Il, has arrived here.
 In an interview today he gave some interesting figures regarding the war. He said that about 5000 Boers were in the field at the outset, and that only 1,5OO out of 5000 men available fought at Colenso, where the Boer losses were not heavy.
 At Spion Kop, where the British suf- fered so much. the Boers had only 53 men killed. In one of the fights outside Ladysmith, the Boers had 56 men killed and over 100 wounded.
 Their losses were heavier at Brank- spruit and Vlakenfontein.
 The Boers were often worried by the British shrapnel and lyddite fire, but when enrtenched they did not fear the shells.
 Members of the Boer forces often man. aged to get into Johannesburg. krugers- dorp and Pretoria, securing valuable in- formation and frequently crossed the blockhc use lines at night
 Commandant Kemp did not allow the Boers of his commando to wear khaki, the British uniform.

RUSH FOR HoMEsTEADs.
Many Intend to Settle on Some Plat and Bloodshed May Result.

Pocatello. Idaho. June 17--Exactly at F o'clock today 1900 men and boys of all ages rushed across the line of the ceded Fort Hall reservation and disap- peared in cloud of dust in their mad rush for homestead and mineral lands. Most of them were mounted on horses and ponies, majority heavily armed Probably a thousand persons departed later with pack animals. Before 2 o'clock Pocatello was practically deserted. Many signs of trouble were apparent before the starting signal was given. In scores of instances it was known that three or more men intended to locate on the same piece of land
 The boundary line of the ceded portion of the reservation opened to settlement today was lined for miles this morning with people awaiting the hour of noon. All morning Pocatello has been sur- rounded by people. but the larger pro- portion gathered on .'the hog back" mile southeast of the city. and it was from this point that the great rush took place. It began at a whistle signal from the Oregon Short Line shops.

MORGAN LOSES HOPE
BELIEVES THE SPooNER SUB- STITUTE WILL BE PASSED.
Senators Perkins and Stewart Ad- vocate the Nicaragua Route, While MT. Gallinger Speaks
 for the Panama Project.

Washington, June H-Throughout to- days session of the Senate the isthmian canal question vas under consideration. Speeches were delivered by Messrs. Per- kins (Cal), Gallinger IN. H). Stewart (Nev.) and Morgan (Ala.) All advocated the adoption of the Nicaragua route ex- cept MT. Gallinger, who made a forceful argument in support of the Panama route. He believed t was the more healthful. The argument of the Senator in support of the Nicaragua route were made espe- cially ou the ground of feasibility and business wisdom. MT. Stewart and MT. Morgan both contended that the health conditions in Nicaragua were superior to those in Panama.
 The climate of Panama" said MT. Stewart, lis practically prohibitive of a canal there, If any regard Is to be paid to human life.' He declared that 1t was impossible for white men to work in Pa- mama and live. Referring to the argument of MT. Kittredge that Costa Rica was un- able ccpstititionally to make an agree ment with the United States, MT Stewart maintained that Costa Rica already had agreed practically to the construction of the canal
 He mainta ned that no clear title to the Panaml canal property could be obtained by the United States. The Panama Canal Company, he said. was a bankrupt con- cern and could pass title to nothing.
 Continuing the discussion of the isth- milan canal project. MT. Gallinger spoke in support of the Panama route. He dis cussed at length the climatic conditions as regards health of both Nicaragua and Panama. He believed that if proper sani- tary arrangements were mde in Panama, death from disease would be reduced to a minimum.
 Mir. Morgan. in charge of the bill, said there had been raised no false cry'' about the health conditions in Panama. It had been shown by the experience of "ali mankind" that Panama was one of the most unhealthful places on the face of the globe.
 A remark made by MT. Morgan was re- garded as significant, as possibly fore shadowing the result of the vote on Thursday. Referring to the alleged wrong doing by the Panama Canal Company, he said: '"rhe people believe it now, and when this substitute is passed they will know it."
 At the conclusion of Mir. Morgan's speech, the following bills were passed: To amend the act providing for a perma- nent census office as to include ''unslSilled Iaborers'' in the list of those employees not included in the civil service; to pro- vide for refunding taxes paid on legacies and beuuests for uses of religious. chari- tahIe or educational character; for the encouragement of art, etc. At SOS the Senate went into executive session and soon afterward adjourned.

CORN PIT WAS WILD.
Fear Of . Corner on July Options
 Caused Exciting Times.

& V3x OI v SVlnCL 0A 4xJ VktA0AA8
 Caused Exciting Times.
 Chicago. June Reinstatement ruled in the corn pit on the Board of Trade to- day. The fear of corner in July op- tions, which caused a sharp upturn yes- terday, was augmented at the opening of business by the reluctance of the big holders of July to sell. In consequence. shorts, who feared runaway market. bought everything in sight and bid ex- citedly for more in order to stop their losses. Prices fiuctuated widely and wild ly The manipulated options operated rather steady at 64 3-s to 64 7-sc. but at once began making jumps of 10 or more, receding as much and then advancing still further. Shortly after the first hour of trade July sold at 66 5-Sc. From this price it. declined to 5 1-2c. only to be pushed up again in q short time to e 1-Sc.
 The supposed corner that is at present the only factor in corn is said bY old traders to be an assured fact Last year's small yield of corn gave an early buying argument when July options were first quoted. As prospects for q good crop this year began to develop the old-time bears sold short. A bull clique said to be led by John W. Gates and his Wall Street assistants bought every offer. Stocks of contract corn have been very low and are growing lower. All toid at present there is less than 100000 bushels of contract graded corn with which shorts can cover. And yet the Gates crowd Is credited with having bought of these same shorts over 15.00o.0o0 bushels.
 Shorts continued to cover in July corn feverishiy up to the close of trade. Cos sip on the floor had 1t that the elevators were against the bull manipuiators and that they were rushing in contract stun. This was given as reason why the bull crowd let the price jump so high this early in the month. It is thought that the continuation of the corner Is to be brought about within the week. July kept on the upward jump and closed strong Is higher than yesterdays close and at an advance of 1-2c since yester- day morning.
 The closing price was the highest of the day, e 1-2.

PLOT TO KILL EDWARD VII Sensational RumOrS arc

 Was Feigned. Scotland Yard Alleged to Have Usr earthed Scheme to Assassinats the Ruler of England-Ths
 Stories Unconnrmsd-
SICKNESS OF SOVEREIGN

London. June 17.-A sensational story e current in London tonight of the disCOv- cry of plot to assassinate King Edward. This story has created considerable dis> cussion in newspaper and other circlea. but ft is lacking in anything like oficlaD confirmation.
 According to the current report, King Edwards sudden illness at Aldershot was not due to a cold. but was merely an ex- cuse for withdrawing His Majestey from public functions. owing to the discovery by Scotland Yard detectives of q plot against his life The principals in thf1 plot have not yet been arrested. It is cited in confirmation of this story that King Edwards recovery when he wAs ensconced at Windsor Castle. was as complete and speedy as his attack had been sudden.
 The Other Side.
 On the other hand 1t must be pointed out that If His Majestey's illness was merely diplomatic. the officials certainly took a great deal of trouble in keeping up the fiction. Sir Francis Laking. physi- CidH HI ofuiHdTy tO tHe Aiu8s WdS sum- moned by telegraph to Aldershot; his prescriptions were hurriedly filled and everything about the Kings apartments irdicated the genuine nature of hts ill., ness. Furthermore. King Edwards jour- ney from Aldershot to Windsor in his motor car and the subsequent drive to- day to Windsor Park. do not seem to in- dscate any fear of further attack upon his person.
 At Scotland Yard tonight the utmost reticence was maintained concerning these rumors It was noticeable. how eyer. that the chief inspectors who usualr iy return hosae at night were ali on duty there and while they refused to sec news paper reporters until tomorrow morning. they declined either to deny or affirm the rumor.
