ENGLISH PHFAsANTs ACCUSED.
Said to tie killing the Native Pheasants
in the PocOn0 Mountains.

ALLENTOWN. Pa, Nov. 28.-Some sports
men think that 1t looks as if the experience
with the imported English sparrows and
the German carp were going to be repeated
In a minor degree In the case OF the English
pheasant.
The English sparrow has practically
driven out OF the districts where 1t has
established itself the native insectivorous
birds, and the carp is working havoc among
the game and food fishes. Tho English
pheasant is now charged with deliberately
killing the native pheasant at a rate which
threatens to exterminate it in few years.
The Pocono Mountains in Monroe county
have always been a favorite resort for
gunners 4 few years ago pheasants were
pheasant was introduced.
About twelve miles from Scioto, in the
Pooono Mountains. a region famed for
its fine pheasant shooting, a party of wealthy
sportsnen, mostly from Philadelphia. pur-
chased tract Of several hundred acres
a hundred English pheasants. According
to those in position to know, the English
birds are breeding rapidly and are killing
the native pheasants.
One sportsmans who lately returned from
tramp he found seven dead pheasants
all apparently killed by other birds. on
comparing notes with other hunters he
found that they had had much the same
experience, one OF them saying that he
had found three dead pheasants within
100 yards.
Woodsvuen say there is intense hostility
between the English and the native pleas
ant, and the former hunt the latter with
persistence. When they meet it is fight
to the death As the English bird is much
the heavier and larger, tho finish is nearly
always disastrous to the native pheasant.
The English pheasants are difficult TO
shoot, They are swift and erratic in fight,
but they do not owe their lives go much to
that fact as to the wisdom they display in
steering for a field or q. large open space
the second they detect the presence OF an
enemy; and they can detect one a long
distance of. Once In the field they are
pretty safe. Hiding themselves as we'll as
possible in the graSs, they keep so sharp a
lookout for danger that neither man nor
dog can come within gunshot without the
birds flushing. To bring down one Of these
birds requires the quickest and most sxpert
snapshootinR. -------

They simply saw pieces out of bones
Of the thighs, for orinstance-when they are too
long in proportion to other bones. Thus
there arise scientifically untrustworthy
combinations Of all kinds Of bones.
This is an old trick. In the early 4os
DR.. Albert Koch became noto rious by
such practices. Koch had something Of
the great Barnum in him. He combined
the bones Of several extinct whales found
in the Southern States and attaining by
themselves a length Of 10 feet. until he had
a beast ia feet long. This be baptized

Of saint and were sure they saw golden
rain pour upon their pious heads.
But to obtain the necessary authoritative
declaration of the sanctty Of the bone
they sent their precious discovery to
the University in Munich, whore 1t fell
into the hands Of the paeontologist. He.
with a scientists bluntness, declared it to
be that of an extinct rhinoceros-

and the refugees must either leave their

Withdrawal of Ships Unlikely.
Washington, Sept. 28.-Withdrawal Of
the American warships from Beirut
seems unlikely for the present, in view
of q cablegram received at the state de-
partment Saturday from Minister Leish-
man, at Constantinople, stating that al
though his advices from Beirut indi-
cate that the situation is quiet just now.
nothing like permanent order has been
established. Mr. Leishman says that the
state Of affairs there may yet be regard
ed as uncertain.
Rear Admiral Cotton, commanding the
| European squadron, cables the navy de-
partment. under date of Beirut, Septen-
Der Is, that Beirut is quiet, and that the
case Of the American vice consul is still
| pending.
1t is indicated in Mr.. Leishman's cable
gram that the departure of the war
ships might be the occasion for a re-
newal Of the riots. This confirms the
opinion held here by the state depart
ment officials that the quiet at Beirut
is due directly to the presence Of Amer
lean warships of that port.
Minister Leishman adds that the new
governor Of Beirut is actively inaugu-
rating reforms there, but that it is not
yet certain he will be able to handle the
situation. How far he has the backing
OF the porte in his activities in behalf
Of foreigners and their interests is not

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 2S.-Peace was
patched up between the Buchanan and
Parks factions in the International As
ISOLATION of Bridge and Structural Iron
Work Workers at their annual conven-
ton Saturday forenoon.
President Buchanan had scarcely
called the convention to order in regu-
lar session when the Parks crowd ex-
pressed desire to ignore the proceed
1ngs OF their own rump convention Fri
day, and proceed in regular way
Then the convention took formal vote
on the motion to reconsider the vote
which Daniel Brophy, a member of local
NO. z, and who held proxy from Scran-
ton, Pa. had been seated.
Brophy was unseated by q good major
ity. AS he rose to leave the hall, Sam
uel Parks advanced toward him with ex-
tended hand. Brophy refused to shake
hands with the New York walking dele
gate until the latter apologized for the
singing words directed against Brophy
on Thursday. This Parks did fully,
and when the door closed upon Brophy,
the convention settled down for the first
peaoeable session since they convened
last Monday.
The convention was formally organ
lied, and stopped long enough to listen
to the annual address of President Blu
chanan, which was to have been deliv-
cred on Tuesday
Later Mr.. Brophy was invited to at
tend the sessions of the convention,
in which, however, he was to have no
vote. He declined this offer and out
side the convention said: II will go
