CARP GUSHING WILD DUCK.
themselves, They Have De-
stroysd the wild Rice Fields
In Ontario, Canada.

Inc singular complaint comes from
various parts of northern Ontario that
nsh are responsible for the disappear-
ance of certain kinds of game In To-
calltles which were formerly noted for
the excellent duck shooting which they
offered the birds are now not to be had
at all.
The ducks, geese and other aquatic
BIRDS were formerly in the habit of
frequenting the large fields of wild rice
IN the lakes and streams of parts of
Ontario, but now these fields have been,
In many instances, destroyed by the
German carp, which has found its way
into these waters. The vegetarian diet
of this detestable fish not only ruins
the flavor of it's own flesh, but exhausts
the food supply of some of the most
desirable forms of feathered game,
says the New York Sun.
The Ontario inspector of fish,
cries, who has been in north
ern Ontario for the last few
weeks, reports that the German
carp has not only become danger
Gus to other fish, as has been frequent
ly claimed, but that in Cooks bay, Lake
Simcoe, where there were formerly
hundreds of acres of wild rice, not a
spear of that plant is to be seen to-day
The same Is true of the Holland river,
where there were at one time 1900
acres of rice. The carp have eaten it
root, branch and seed.
The almost incredible part of it is
that the fish have entirely DESTROYED
the fields in one year The aquatic
birds which visit the locality, finding
that all their usual feeding grounds
have disappeared, cut short their visit
and move away in search of others
The local sportsmen complain, too,
of wild celery, and that they, too, are
almost completely destroyed.
It remains to be seen what the eff
feet of this wholesale destruction o.
aquatic vegetation will De ur.'- '' -
game fishes OF the locality. Inc Hsh
cry overseer OF the district IFS nfeeflatunf,,
spawn of the muskallonge can be pro
tected and developed without the rice
beds. He does not accuse the carp Of
eating the eggs of the other fish, but
states that they keep the water con-
tinually disturbed, and that to their
presence in these waters must be at
tributed the decrease in the number
of muskallonge frequenting them for
spawning purposes.

CANNON AS SPEAKER.

His stand For the Dignity of Ah@
 House Awatnst the Senate.
 Not since Thomas E. Reeds first ap- pearance as speaker has the house of representatives had in that office man of such vigorous Individuality as MT. Joseph c. Cannon, says the New York Posts special Washington core spondent. His personality is so dis tinctly his own, except so far as it be- longs to an earlier western type now little seen in Washington, that it has been widely pictured in current publi- cations and apparently affords mate rial for constant comment. Other speakers of the house have regularly used somewhat stilted phrases in their requests for ordS-, such as Cease con- room,'' when they have really meant in the vernacular ''Keep quiet" MT. Cam non is restoring the idiom as fast as possible. When he gets awakened in making ruling to the house, he drops the gavel from his left hand, reverting AD du apIdlEGu ADLGAD WILL to lay down the law, after manner long familiar to the house. Every time he drops the gavei the house applauds, for it's members know that he is about to say something too vigorous for the conventional weapon of his office.

 MT. Cannon, unlike his predecessors, does not bow profoundly to the secre- . .tary of the senate when that function ary comes into the house to make an noilncement of the serate's action. The story is told that when the new speak CTS coaches informed him that he must make great bow he answered that he did not bow to the United States sem ate, and he would not bow to any of its secretaries.

A Very Serious Question for Man in
 Pinch.
 He belongs to the Canadian mounted police, and thinks nothing of lonely rides on behalf of justice. But the other day he had an adventure that pretty nearly extinguished all his chances of further experience. A num- Der of horses had been stolen and he was sent cut to track the thieves. For several miles he rode without catch ing a sign of his quarry. Then from a break in the bush he noticed two men sitting over their meal. Seven or eight horses were picketed close by. and, best of all, the men had laid all their firearms in little heap behind them. Slowly and Nwarfly. his heart hammering with excitement, he crept up, secured the arms, unloaded them, and fastened them to his own saddle. Then, revolver In hand. he marched up to the thieves and made fast with handcuffs and leg irons. It didn't take long to tie the missing animals together by their tails, and then, re- moving the leg irons, he led the pro- cession off, the horses behind. and the men by his side. All went well till the second day. when he suddenly heard an ominous click behind him, and knew that one of his pistols must have dropped without his knowledge. For a second he thought that the note of his death had been struck. But, fortunately, it was one of the unloaded revolvers. and not his own, that had fallen. If he had been shot his bones might have whitened unfound for six months or more. For it happened in lonely part, beyond the outside pass ing of the world.

An interesting figure who will go down in American history as the man who made the only unanswerable sil- yer argument ever delivered on the floor of the senate Of the United States, is the Hon John F. Jones of Nevada, who for the past thirty years has rep resented that state in the senate. Jones says that he has retired per manently from politics and will devote the balance of his life to mining indus tries and to teaching the people of the country the greatness of his state of Nevada as a mining country, and which in his opinion is the greatest in the world. He says that the recent gold strikes, in the state have been the most wonderful of any yet discovered, and that they will eclipse the great Comstock Lode, which turned out more than $6oo, GOO, ,ooO of the precious metal.

The happenings of the past few months leads former admirer of President Roosevelt to say that nn- occasionally he was stronger short time ago as a possible candidate than he is to-day. That does not mean to say that he will not have the sup port of the majority of the republican delegates who will assemble in Chi cago six months hence Fortunate arc those who are in possession" IS the translation of Latin phrase much used by diplomats. Five vice presi. dents-ryler, Fillmore, Johnson, Ar thur, Roosevelt-have become presi- dents by the death of the head of the ticket on which they were elected. Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson ana Arthur did not succeed in obtain ing a presidential nomination from their party. It Is true that Fillmore headed the KnowNotbfng ticket in 1858. But that was quite 8 different thing from being honored with pres idential nomination from the political party that gave Fillmore the vice pres idential nomination eight years before, Tha New York Tribune, commenting on a statement that President Roose- yelt could not be elected without the ala of New York, says: ''It is charac- teristic of General Grosvenor's sam g1ine temperament to Insist, while not conceding the danger that Roosevelt would lose New York, that we can cas- ily carry the country without New York; but 1t may not be amiss, in al luding to his statement, to declare the fact of which he is doubtless as fully
 convinced as anybody else, that the republican national convention will not choose to take gamblers risk. It is quite true that a republican president
 might be elected without the vote of this state, and with the increased number of electors consequent on the latest apportionment, it is consider ably easier to figure out such a result
 than it has been in past years. But

RAT CHASING A NEW SPORT
SurDasses Fox Hunting I'm Popularity
 In a Pennsylvania Village.


 In H PennSylvaniR ViIIaEe.
 Rat chasing Is the new sport, to which men, young and old, living near Ber- mudian, Adams county, Pa, have re- gently become devoted, says Gettys- burg dispatch. As rural sport the innovation is fast outdistancing fox hunting in the village.
 Interest in this game was aroused several weeks ago when a Bermudian resident liberated six rats from trap, and the dogs of the village engaged in a rat killing contest. Rules regulating the sport were then drafted, and now it has become a regular Saturday after noon pastime, and wagers are made on the result.
 During the week traps are set in rat infested buildings, and when the time arrives for the weekly roundup as many as fifty rats are usually in cap- fivtty. The owners of dogs then as- semble at the clubhouse Each dog is held by its owner or trainer One rat is then liberated from a trap, gets start of several yards, and at a sig nal the dogs are released and the chase is on. The owner of the dog catching the most rats receives a cash prize, which is collected from the owners of the dogs. There is also lively betting on the side

Speaking of the qualities of the sol diers of different countries. writer in Dverybody's Magazine has the follow ing to say about the Russian: 'If it is time to Jose his life he will lose it, and there Is little use in trying to save it. another, and 1t makes no difference whether he goes into fight or keeps out of it. He travels the line of least resistance, and from this develops a blind, but often unintelligent obedi- ence. That sort of man makes a dan gerous fighting machine. With all these good qualities, however, there are others not so attractive. Big, strong, patient of toll and hardship, he Is also clumsy, stupid and very slow
 a serious fault in fighting men.s There was a good exhibition of the Russian lack of speed the day the Pekin relief column marched from Mahto to Chang chia-wan. For that morning 1t had been arranged that a Russian battery and battalion of infantry should form part of the advance guard with the Japanese whom the regular formation Of the column placed in the lead. The Japanese were doing their full share, but the Russians could not or would not keep the pace. After repeated at tempts to get them to do so, Japan was obliged to ask Russia to withdraw lts men and give room to the Japanese so that the required speed could be made. The Russians halted and formed be- side the road, while the Japanese in fantry went by them on the double, and the battery at trot. From that time until the days distance had been made there was no more trouble about the failure of the advance guard 10 maintain contact with the enemy.
