THE TROLLEY LINE.

Along with our announcement of
tho tics having been taken up to the
end OF the present routo of tho Public
Service Corporations trolley line, bv
the company car this week, we learn
that tracks which have been buried
in the sand along the road Is former
ly laid out, have also made their APP
pearance. Some say that they have
been washed clear by the heavy rains.
That may be, but it is n singular in
cidence if true. Tracks, are there,
where they were formerly, and, as be-
fore stated in our columns, it is now
thought that we will have the trolley
extended to the end of the route, ms
was expected when the line was first
built. 1t is to be hoped it, will not
again prove disappointing. If 1t Is
| the case, all the weary waiting by
the people, all the discussions at the

now if this is true and everybody in

A TREACHEROUs ANIMAL.
The Black Panther Of Africa More
Ferocious Than the Bengal Tiger
Feared by Trainers.

OF all the big. dangerous cats, none is
more unapprOachable and more treach-
erous than the black panther, says Nc
Clure's Magazine. Hailing from the
heart of the deepest African jungle.
1.-THE and supple of body, alert and nerv-
Gus, this stealth marauder exceeds in fe-
rocity even a Bengal tiger. He Is the
only big feline that the lion trainer does
not venture to train; and he is the only
cat so absolutely distrustful that he
shuns even the light of day. Often he
will lie all day long in a dusky corner Of
his cage, his yellow slit eyes shifting and
cleaning restlessly. Even the feeding
hour, when pandemonium breaks loose
among the big cages, when hungry roars
and squeals mingle with impatient snarls
and impacts of heavy bodies against steel
bars, is apt to have no effect on him.
He may lie cycling his chunk of raw beef
suspiciously, and not venture forth until
day has waned and the last visitor has
left; to tear meat from bones with his
long, white fangs. In fact. so ugly and
vicious is this beast. that, frequently, he
turns on his own kind, and in many in
stances it IS impossible to cage him,
even with a mate,

ALASKA A GAME COUNTRY
Territory a Paradise for Hunters
Abounds in Big Fish and
Animals.

Alaska Is a big country and it has big
possibilities, says Field and Stream. 1t
has the biggest bear, the biggest moose,
the biggest mountain sheep and the big
gest salmon and srayling in the world.
All of these are plentiful and car be tax
en- under United States regulations.
Time was when Alaska and Siberia were
thought by many as synonymous, and
without any idea of just what was meant
by either name. That has all changed in
the last few years. and now Alaska is not
c, very far away from Seattle. More
over, it has been found to be anything
but an inhabited and uninhabitablo
country. 1t is without doubt the greatest
game country on the Globe to-day, be-
cause it is the newest, and the conditions
are right for the maintenance of game
animals ana birds.
The biggest mountain on the North
American continent is in Alaska ard is
well named Mckinley. BY the way, you
always thought that Alaska was away
up north" didn't you? Look on your
map and you will find that vessels leav-
ing Seattle for Dutch Harbor sail al
most due west-only slightly north of
west--so that in reality the west end of
Alaska is not much north of the latitude
of Japan.

Possible Action on the Tariff.

A Washington dispatch says: No de-
cision yet has been reached by the
president and other Republican lead
ers regarding possible action of con-
gress on the subjsct of tariff. 1t can
be said authcritatively that no de-
cision will be reached as to such &C
ton either at regular or at an extra
ordinary session of the Fifty-ninth
congress until the subject has been
considered thoroughly by the president
and his cabinet and his political
friends. The president is not bound by
any preconceived views on the sub
5ect and is open to conviction as to the
most desirable course to pursue. He
Is not inclined to fs-or an extraordi-
nary session either for the purpose OF
taking up the tariff or any other sub
ject but 1t is said to be too early yet
even to indicate tie determination
which eventually will be reached.

READY TO SURRENDER
SOLDIERS AT PORT ApTHuR
HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
But General stoesseI, Though Confined
to Hospital, Issues Orders to Men
e Die at Posts Rather Than
Surrender.

Latest advices from Port Arthur are
to the effect that wound received by
General Stoessel has necessitated his
confinement in the hospital, that he re-
fuses to reIinquish the command of
the garrison, and that he has issued or
ders to the troops to die at their posts
rather than surrender.
1t is said that the spirit OF the Rus
sian troops has been dampened by con-
tinuous work, the lack Of supplies and
the hopelessness of their ability to
make any successful defense of the
fortress.
1t Is said further that many of the
Russian soldiers are ready to surren-
der, but that they are kept at their
posts by officers. who threaten them
with revolyers, and that several sol
diers who were suspected Of a desire
to desert have been shot as a warning
to other would-be deserters.
The Japanese now believe that the
garrison has almost reached the limit
Of human endurance.
Spies and Russians who have sur
rendered report that rations in the
fortress have been reduced. The
wounded found by the Japanese are
emaciated.
Russian artillery shells partly filed
with wood and which would not ex-
plode have been found. This shows
that the Russians are short OF material
for making heavy ammunition.
The capture of the eastern fortified
ridge viii mean the surrender of the
fortress ia couple of weeks, unless
the garrison there retires to the iso-
lated fort. This seems improbable. |
however. and cold weather and the |
lack Of food and ammunition render |
desperate resistance unlikely.
