The Russian Auxiliary Cruiser WIN

Oyster Bay, Special.-The Russian
auxiliary cruiser Lena, which put into
the port of San Francisco Sunday,
presumably from Vladivostock. either
will have to leave that port within a
brief time prescribed by this govern
ment or will have to dismantle. That
II. brief, it can be stated authoritta-
lively, is the decision of the Ameri-
can government.
II in the judgment Of the experts
who are making an examination the
vessel can be made seaworthy In "a
hours, orders will be issued to her
commander to leave port at the ex.
piration of that period. Indeed, it
may be within the discretion Of the
government to give her commander a
little more time if that be advisable.
On the contrary, if the report should
show that the ship is in actual need
of extensive repairs, and over.
hauling and the making che re-
pairs would occupy any siderable
time, the captain would be directed
to dismantle the vessel and
she will remain in that condition
till the termination eof the Russian
Japanese war. 1t, is not anticipated
that serious difficulties or embarrass.
ments to this government will grow
out of the pending incident.
The State Department, through
which matters pertaining to the ar.
rival and examination of the Lena
are being handled, has notified Mr.
Takhira, the minister of japan in
Washington, of the action of this
government and of which 1t expects
to do in the future. He has express
ed his satisfaction at the present
status Of the affair.

The Quest.
saw the towering clouds take fire
From the low sun, and thought them
b1est;
They neared the land of my desire,
The splendid West.
Spring laughed in breaking bud, clean
air,
In skies that took the tone Of rest;
7 saw, yet found them not so fair
AS In my West.
Night grew, breathing silence fell,
And peace, pure peace, was manifest;
Yet loved not quiet peace so well
AS in my West.
What balm, then, for this ancient pain,
This torture Of the baffled quest?
Only to take the same dear road again
That reaches West.

WILD ANIMALS.
Different Methods by which They
Are Captured.

Different Methods by which They
Are Captured.
The different methods by which vari-
GUS wild animals are captured in their
native state are interesting. Lions are
generally caught by being tempted to
thrust their heads through nooses Of
strong cords composed of twisted
hides Pieces of meat are used for bait,
but frequently the hunters have many
days of hard chasing before the lion
can be persuaded to try the moose.
When he does, the cords are pulled
quickly around his throat, sitting him,
and other stout cords are bound around
his legs. Tigers are more savage than
lions and can rarely be captured when
full grown. Recruiting Is accordingly
carried on among the cubs, the parent
tigers being killed and the young, left
without protectors, being easily caught.
The cubs readily accustOm themselves
to captivity. Perhaps the most difficult
Of all wild animals to capture is the gi-
raffe. In addition to being very rare
giraffes are exceedingly timid and
swift footed. There is no special way
to capture a giraffe. Many different
ways have been tried, and all have
been equally unsuccessful. The meth
cd which has occasionally resulted in
capture is that of using a long cord,
at each end of which is round weight.
This cord is thrown by the hunter in
such a manner as to wind around the
animals legs, either bringing it to the
vro,,nd orr randopfuU If incanHhln of os-
Gaping before it is made a prisoner.
Most of the giraffes In captivity have
been caught by chance when young.
