ports Results of This Season.
Violations of Law Were Many.

Stowe Nov. 18Th. q. Thomas,
chairman of the State fish and game
commissioners, today issued the follow
ing statement covering the results of
the open season for deer:
The disposition of a great majority
of our would be good and law abiding
citizens, and many wardens, is to
shield their fellow men who persist
emily violate the fish and game laws,
instead of entering complaints or re-
porting violators to the commissioners.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred

offender from punishment. richly de-
served. thanbe p personally Instrumental
in his apprehension, which is not
noble even in sentimental theory. The
offender is encouraged and embold-
ened By his escape and becomes auda-
cious in his subsequent malefactions.
and the wUuld-be benefactor has ac-
cessorily lent himself to the perpetra-
tion of crime. Why is it that nearly
all reports of violation of the fish and
game laws come with reluctance,
and hedged about with conditions.
which defeat the purpose and render
the intent valueless. | think the
great majority of us have been guilty
of this foolishness some time or other,
and the fact is no credit to us. 1t is
every mans duty, and more I es-
pecially that of wardens and all mem
bers of the Fish and Game League, to
aid in the compulsory observance and
enforcement of our fish and game
laws. The personality of the offend
ers should not be considered. From
day to day | am in receipt of anony-
nous communications making vague
statements, or if the writer signs his
name he makes the request that it
not be mentioned for fear of hard
feelings, but states that he would like
to see the law enforced. Quite num-
Der have written, Mr.. So and So,

the first place, there is no accident

what he is shooting at, and has no
right to shoot at deer unless he can
distinctly see his horns. In the Sec

for the noble sentiment Of shielding a

sole purpose of your silence. To be
conservative, l do not think one-half
of the number OF does illegally killed
has been reported. Through the
courtesy and cooperation of postmas-
tiers and wardens, for which l extend
many thanks, I am able to report very
accurately the number of deer killed

The increase of deer killed in 1908
over 1902 is more than ~ per cent, to
say nothing about the illegal slaught-
or Of does. There seems to be a much
larger increase OF deer killed during
the present season in some counties
than others, which is easily accounted
for from the fact that many hunters
from adjoining States have made their
camping grounds in Windsor, Wind
ham, Orleans and Addison. For many
years Essex county was supposed to
be one of our best counties for sports
men, but that county has fallen back
by illegal methods pertaining to the
fish and game laws of our State. 1t
was reported to me by those who re-
spect the laws that in Essex county
the open season continues throughout
the year. There are reported the fol-
lowing hunters from other States,
New York. A; Massachusetts. 10;
Rhode Island, q; Canada, /; that
all were successful in killing deer and
taking them out of the State. There
were also reported 6 from New York
State who were not successful, 9from
Massachusetts,, and S3 from New
Hampshire. No doubt some Of these
parties captured deer, and they were
taken from the State without being re-
ported to the commissioners. It is
verv evident to your commissioner
that this increase in slaughter of deer
or even the same ratio kept up, will
soon deplete the stock. Every day re-
ports come to my Office that wounded
deer are discovered, which means a
large addition to the number slaught-
cred already reported. Wardens
throughout the State. where such re-
ports come from, are instructed tv
hunt them up and put them out Of mis-
cry.

amend the bill by striking off certain
provisions as to duties on sugar, and
one that seeks to bind Congress not

THE CANAL TREATY.

The President and his advisers, in
Guiding the attorney general and Sec
rotary Hay, have decided that the ad-
ministration has full power to act in
the Panama matter to negotiate a
treaty and that no legislation by Con-
gress is necessary to give the President
power to proceed. Secretary Hay and
the attorney general agree, after an
investigation of the subject, that when
the treaty with Panama has been rati-
fed by the Senate, the President, with
out, further legislation, can act under
the present law, pay whatever sum is
,sgreed upon as price of the Panama
franchise, and pay the canal company
for its property.
There will undoubtedly be no trouble
in negotiating treaty as soon as the
administration desires. The repre-
sentative of the Panama republic is
anxious to have it done at once, the
sooner the better, for, as he says, the
canal is the life of the new nation.
The old treaty which was negotiated
with Colombia and was turned down
by the Colombian Congress will be the
basis of the new one, but such changes
will be made as are thought best. The
new republic is too anxious to have
the canal built by the United States
to make serious objection to any rea-
sonable request the President may pre-
fer. If the new government lasts, the
canal is assured. There will be fight,
however, when the canal treatv comes
before the Senate for ratification. The
transoontinental railroad interests are
Just as much in evidence as ever be-
fore and they will try to block every
move toward building the canal. Bu'

oally the same as when the question
was all fought over before and, though

ONLY RACE OF STABILITY.
Statement That Caucasians VIII Sur
vive All Other People in
the World.

A surprising statement was lately
made by Rev. X C. Jaeger, pastor of
the German Presbyterian church,
Brooklyn, when lecturing on "The
Origin of the Human Species" re-
ports an eastern paper. He said at
the Labor Iyceum that in the white
race only can be found men, the
crowning work of Gods creation.
Men enjoy the possession of soul,
and for millions of years before the
creation of mankind negroes, Ma
lays, Mongolians and Indians might
have been swarming over the world,
but these things cannot be consid-
cred as men. Negroes and Malays
have a good initiative ability, the
pastor added, but they are not en-
abled to guarantee the progress of
mankind. The Caucasian race only
will survive and all non-Caucasians
will disappear.
The Indians have almost perished.
The Mongolians will perish by the
fatal use of opium and there is no
hope for the other races.

BUSINESSLIKE RUSSIA.
How the Business of the Post ONCE
rs Conducted I'm the Land
of the Czar.

We have learned in the past few
years to regard Minister de Witte, of
Russia, as one of the greatest finan-
cial administrators in the world. Yet
every book on Russia gives fresh .eyi-
dence of mismanagement on the part
of the government in the details of
business, says Youths Companion.
Mr.. Writ Gerrare's Greater Russia;
the Continental Empire of the
World" illustrates the Russian way
of doing things by this account of
the post office service:
At the chief post offices in st.
Petersburg and in Moscow there is
only one clerk selling stamps. He
closes his office at two o'clock. He
cannot reckon change without a
counting board.
There are about half a dozen
branch offices in these capitals, but
stamps are as rare as a postal order
in a country store in an American
village.
At one branch post Office in Mos
COW the letter-box was full to over
flowing when Mr.. Gerrare called. He
took his letters inside, but the clerk
in charge declined to accept them.
"But the letter-box is full"
Sind a letter-box which is not
full" replied the clerk.

GERMAN SPIES IN ENGLAND.
They Are More Familiar with the
Topography of the Country
Than EnGlishmen.

All the great nations require infor-
nation about other countries which
is not obtainable openly. For this rea
son the intelligence departments of
the great military powers of the con-
tfnent are organized on a scale of cost
and efficiency undreamed of in this CON
stitutional country, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer.
In Russia the secret police employ
considerable number of agents, both
male and female, who are residents in
Britain. Some of these paid agents,
or spies, are people well known in So
ciety.
The German system of secret serv-
ice is conducted on much more scien-
tific lines. German knowledge of Great
Britain is more complete than Of
most Britons.
Even every picture and work of art of
any considerable value is known to the
German general staff, while the study
OF British topography, the mastery of
ordnance maps, the knowledge of the
Tords, smithies, obstacles, population
and high roads form the subject of ex-
animation by German officers, who are
told off to the duty of acquiring full
knowledge of the counties of the
United Kingdom.

are occupied in surveying the land with
view to contingencies, are generally
