WYOMING BOUNTlES.
Apparent Decrease in the Number Of
Wolves and Coyotes.

Cheyenne. Wyo.. Sept. 23.-(Specian
AT the last session of the legislature.
in January. 1901. an appropriation of
$4,000 was authorized as fund for
bounty on predatory wild animals dur
ing the ensuing two years from April
l, 1901. To date S24.063 has ben paid
out, leaving $l5.937 for the remaining
seven months. or until the expiration
of the two years to be covered by this
appropriations.
The legislature of 1899 appropriated
S25,UOO. which sum was exhausted in
one year. whereas the S24 .O3 expend-
ed out of the present appropriation has
covered period Of one and one-half
years. This indicates that wolves and
coyotes are either decreasing in nnns.
bers. or ranchmen are not hunting
them with the same vigor as hereto
fore.
Reports from the ranges indicate the
former to be the true cause of the fall
ing off in receipts of pelts for bounty.
In some sections. particularly where
sheep have been grazed for several
years and where the winters have been
especially severe. there are few coyotes
and wolves 1T present. In other sec
tions of the state the pests appear TO
be numerous. but not SO much SO as
formerly.
Ranchmen report that the prairie
pests are migrating 10 the ranges of
Montana and the British possessions,
and advance as their reason for think
ing so. that the almost complete eNter
mination Of rabbits and other small an
imalS in the state has made it neceS-
sary for wolves to seek greener pas
lures. Then. too. the campaign waged
against the pests hy ranchmen and pro-
feSSional hunters who usually hunt
out the denS of cubs and destroy the
pups, has had much 10 do with depict
ing the number of wolves and coyotes

Stanley Spencer Travels Nearly Thirty
Miles Over the city-Far Exceeds
Any Flight Made by Santos Dumont
Steers His Airship With the VI
most Ease.
London, Sept 1o-Stanley Spencer.
well known English aeronaut, yes
terday successfully accomplished a
remarkable flight over London In an
airshlp Of his own invention. 1t is es-
timated that his ship travelled nearly
thirty miles.
From observations Of those on the
ground Spencer seemed to have COM
plete control of his vessel He started
from the Crystal Palace at AIS yester-
day afternoon and descended three
hourse later near Harrow. The route
taken by the aeronaut was over Strath-
am, Chaplain common and the smoky
South Side of the metropolis, across
the Thames, over the pOpulous Chelsea
district, across Kensington and Earrs
Court, out to Harrow and then safely
past the Forest buildings. He executed
an easy descent at the little village Of
Eastcote.
Spencer has been experimenting re-
Gently with his vessel at Crystal Pal
ace. Finding the conditions favorabl
he suddenly decided to start of on his
dangerous voyage late yesterday after
noon, and the usual crowd Of palace
spectators gave him a hearty send-off.
The alrship at once rose TO height Of
about 800 feet. After travelling for
about n mile with practically no devil
alton In his course. Spencer made vari-
Gus detours and seemed able to steer
his ship as easily as torpedo boat.
Near Clapham common he came fair
ly close to the ground, for the purpose
Of maneuvering. The appearance Of
the airship created intense astonish
ment among the thousands Of persons
on the streets over whose heads the
aeronaut passed. Percival Spencer. re-
ferrIng to his brothers trip through
the air, said 1t exceeded the longes:
trip Of Santos-Dumont. the Brazilian
aeronaut, by nearly twenty miles.
Spencer's airship has n blunt nose
and tail and does not taper in cigar
like point Ike the airship of Santos
Dumons. In general outline 1t has the
appearance of whale. The bag,
which Is scyenty-fve feet long, con-
tains 10000 cubic feet OF hydrogen
gas. The frame is built of bamboo
and the propeller is In front.

WHY THEY OBJECT
TO 8-HOUR CLAUSE
Mr.. Fornes Says Pennsylvania
Company Fears 1t Might
Scare WouId-Be Investors.

President Fornes. OF the Board of AL
dermen, offered the first explanation to-
day OF the objection of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad to the Insertion of the
eight-hour clause in he Pennsylvania
tunnel franchise. The corporation, he
said. contends that the e~lght-hour
clause would render the contract uncon-
stltutlonal in view OF the decision Of
the Court of Appeals as to the prevail
ing-rate-of-wages clause in any con-
tract.
rs 1t is the intention OF the company.
President Fornes said, to issue $4,000
900 of bonds to cover the cost Of It's
projected enterprise, difficulty migAt
be experienced in disposlng OF these
bonds IL any clause in the franchise was
OF such a character as to render the
VALIDITY of the certificate doubtful. In
yestors would hesitate about purchas-
ing them. said President Fornes.
5Perhaps,' he added, such bonds
might have to be sacrificed
He stated that in his belief the fran
chise will be approved when the mem
hers of the board become fully nc.
quainted with the facts.
