has been reduced to the vanishing point

BEFORE WAR BREAKS OUT.
United States Trying to Establish Its
RIGHTS in Manchura.

Peking. Jan. 13.-The United States
and Japan are strenuously endeavorlng
to establish their rights in Manchuria
under the new commercial treaties
before war breaks out The ratitica-
tions of the American treaty were to
have been exchanged at Washington
but with the view of obviatlng the de-
lay involved in mailing the Chinese
copy to Washington Minister Conger
is urging the government to send
telegraphic copy and to authorize the
Chinese minister at Washington to
make the exchange Herewith. 1t Is
believed there are precedents for
such a proceeding. Until the ratifica-
tions are exchanged 1t Is impossible
for the United States to- claim the
right of sending consuls to- Mukden
and Antung.
The ratifications Of the treaty be-
tween Japan and China were ex-
changed at the foreign Office here Mon.
day. A special agent brought the Jap
anese copy from TOXIC. The Chinese
officials asked for the delay OF day
to arrange some details but the jap
anese minister refused to agree to any
delay. This haste Is considered sig
nificant.
According to the latest reports here
Russia proposes to concede to Japan
no higher status In Manchuria than
is involved in the formal confirmation
OF her treaty rights, thus confirming
siminy reports from various sources
published In Europe and the United
States.

Peccary Hunting.

Peccary hunting is usually both dam
gerous and fatiguing. About ten or Il
dogs are set upon the trial of a drove,
the huntsmen following as best they
may on foot. When the dogs come up
with the peecaries the little animals turn
to bay in a closely packed, squealine
crowd. Often the veteran boars Of the
herd rush out upon their canine enemies
and it Is seldom that a hunt passes with
out one or more dogs being killed or bad
Iy injured. Careless and inexperienced
huntsmen are also liable to be badly
mauled, for the peccaries seems ineap-
able of fear and rush madly at any NOV.
ing object, be ii dog or man.
