The Sportsman's Paradise.

Fred Weatherford and Ben Clelan
returned yesterday noon from week s
stay in Lincoln county, where they
voted last Tuesday and spent the bal.
ance of the time hunting. They
brought home 36 ducks, and eleven
geese, to say nothing of bear shot by
them near Newport. This animal was
found on Skookum creek not far from
the lighthouse and he fell a victim 10
the two Albany hunters. The bear
weighed $50 pounds and was in fine
flesh.
They report hunting in that part of
Lincoln county as very good. Geese
and ducks are plentiful and hunters
secure good bags daily. Many people
are now taking advantage OF the op.
portunity to secure few days fine
hunting in the neighborhood of New.
port and Yaquina, and all who have
gone over have met with excellent
success.
The salmon run, Mr.. Weatherford
says, still continues and fishermen on
the bay and in the Yaquina river make
good catches. On Sunday one man
who was out on the bay for a short
time secured three fine silverside
salmon while trolling, and others re.
ported similar success. That section is
now the sportsman's paradise, and the
weather is exceptionally good for this
time of the year.-Albany Herald.
Yes, this is a pretty good country for
fish and game. Valley sportsmen with
little money can come down here and
buy all they care to carry home. II
isn't always SO easy, however, to pur
chase bear, but Wild Bill Smith and
his bear dogs live in the vicinity OF
Skookum creek, and are always ready
to give Bruin chase. If successful
Bills price is very reasonable. Cal
again.

STRANGE DISEASE EPIDEMIC IN
TENEMENT SECTION OF
NEW YORK CITY.
DOCTORS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT
GERMS ARISING FROM WALLS OF
OLD BUILDINGS SAID TO
BE THE CAUSE.

New York, May 6.-Seven children
have died within the last few days and
many others are suffering from a new
disease which has appeared in the
neighborhood of Madison avenue and
One Hundred and Fifth street, this
city. At least twenty cases are report
ed from one hospital.
The doctors have been wholly un.
able to diagnose the disease, but they
believe it to be due to germs arising
from the walls of old tenements, the
lower floors of which are being rebuilt
into stores. The walls, ceilings and
floors are being scraped or torn away
and in the dust dislodged the germs
appear to originate.
The symptoms of the new disease
are headache, lassitude, rapidly devel-
oping fever, nausea and generally
death within twenty-four hours. Off
cials of the health department are
now investigating the matter.

Washington, May 6.-CommandeT
Dillingham; of the Detroit has been in
structed by the navy department to
recognize the blockade of Monte Girls
tt, established by the government of
Santo Domingo, if he deems it effec-
tive.
This action forecasts the determine
tion Of the state department to extend
full recognition to the government of
President Morales, which has already
been given a tentative recognition. 1t
was taken upon the report of Captain
Dillingham; to the effect that the Mo-
rales government is maintaining gun
boat at the entrance to the harbor of
Monte Cristi against any force that
the insurgents probably would be able
to gather. This is the last point where
the insurrection survives and it is un-
derstood that if the supply of arms
and ammunition can be cut off peace
will be restored to the island.

met THEIR FATE STOL|DLY
TRIO OF MURDERERS DIE ON THE
GALLOWS AT WINCHESTER,
TENNESSEE.

Winchester, Tenn, May 6.-Henry
Judge, Joe Delp and John Evans were
hanged here during the day for the
murder of Simon Bucher and his wife
last August
The trap was sprung at SAB a. m
The three men exhibited the same in
difference and stolidity that marked
their conduct during the trials and
walked without assistance to the scat
fold. Each of them made a short
speech in which they expressed their
preparedness and said their only re-
gret was that they were leaving their
wives and children. None of them
made any reference to the deed for
which they paid the penalty.
The crime for which these three
white men paid the extreme penalty
was the murder Of Simon Bucher and
his wife. 1t was Judge who conceived
and planned the deed and his motive
is said to have been prompted by a
desire to get rid of Bucher because
he had the oversight on some mountain
land upon which Judge wanted to
trespass for the purpose of stealing
timber. Judge employed Evans and
Delp to do the murder.

SENATOR QUAY VERY WEAK.
His Condition Causing His Friends
Some ANXIETY,

Washington, May 6.-Senator Quay
Of Pennsylvania is at his home in this
city and at present has no intention
Of leaving here. His physical condi-
tion is such as to cause his friends
some anxiety He is very weak and,
while he occasionally drives about the
city and on one or two occasions has
visited the departments on official
business since the adjournment of
congress, he is accompanied invariably
by his daughter or an attendant. In
this connection it is regarded as sig
nifcant that among the executive ap-
pointments announced during the day
was that of William F. Wright to be
consul general of the United States to
Munich. Mr.. Wright for many years
has been Senator Quays secretary and
confidential clerk. 1t is regarded as
likely that this provision is made for
Mr.. Wright for the reason that Mr..
Quay may feel that his work in con-
gress is nearing an end.

KUROPATK|N AT THE FRONT
RUSSIANS PREPARING TO GIVE
BATTLE TO THE JAPANESE
UNDER KUROKI.

st. Petersburg, May 6-General Ku-
ropatkin has gone to the front from
Liaoyang to inspect the situation per-
sonally. Troops are being hurried for
ward from the Liaoyang and Mukden

All the Russian wounded have been

that General Kuropatkin is preparing
to give battle to General Kuroki's
army if circumstances warrant. Pri-
vate reports are to the effect that the
fighting blood of the Russian soldiers
Is up and that they are thirsting for
an opportunity to revenge the slaugh-
ter on the Yalu, but, although the
commander-in-chief is greatly cha
grined at the miscarriage of his plans
on the Yalu, there is no idea here that
he will act rashly on that account.
His decision as to the extent of the
opposition he will make at Fenghuan-
cheng depends upon the location and
success of Japanese landings in Man.

Descents or attempted landings are
now momentarily anticipated near
Newchwang and the head of Korea
bay. Occupying an interior line and
pursuing the tactics of Napoleon Kuro-
patkin's problem will be to prevent a
juncture Of the enemy's forces. It is
necessary for him to await the devel-
opment of the Japanese plans and as
certain the direction, strength and
whence the other column will come
before deciding how to fight his ad-
versary in detail.
1t is believed here that the japanese
plans for concerted action have been
by their failure to block
the entrance to Port Arthur Tuesday
and repetition of the attack on the
Russian Gibraltar is momentarily ex-
Dected.

DOUBLE HANGING AT PlTTsBURG.
Couple Of Murderers Meet Their Fate
on the GalIoWS,

Pittsburg, May 6.-William L. Hart

ored, were hanged during the day in
the Allegheny county Jail yard. Both
men showed nerve. They were hanged
separately, Hartley going to the gal
lows at 1908 and was cut down at
1919. Death was due to a broken
neck. Edwards mounted the scaffold
at 1928 and was cut down at 1O:43,
dying from strangulation. ..
Hartley killed Ernest O. Johnston in
a barber shop on the South Side on
March %. 1908. The trouble grew
out of some remarks Johnston was
alleged to have made about Hartley's
wife,
Edwards, the negro, pleaded guilty
to the killing of Clinton Banks, a ne
gro, on July 4, 1903, at Borland. The
men quarreled over a girl.

General Kashtalinsky mentions also
that more than 700 wounded had ar
rived at Fenghuancheng and these may
not be included in his calculations.
He made no attempt to estimate the
Japanese losses and merely stated
that they must have been colossal.
The magnitude of the Russian losses
had an almost stunning effect on the
authorities and has aroused general
grief, mitigated only by the satisfac-
tion at the bravery displayed by the

George Wyndham, chief secretary

the anticipation of recrudescence of
social disorders in Ireland, but said
that the repeal of the Crimes act could
only do harm by reviving the angry
passions now laid at rest.
