Deadly Beasts and Reptiles.

The British government has just fn- ished gathering it's statistics regarding the number Of peop,e killed by reptiles and wild animals in India during the year ended Dec. 31, 1903, and the num- Der of animals killed by hunters and others. A writer in Cosmos says the figures are not very encoura ging to the government officials. In spite Of great killing-pests that have been conducted from time to time the human victims continue more numerous than the rep tile and animal victims, though the reptile statistics cannot at present be obtained: that is the number of rep tiles killed.
 Says the Cosmos writer:
 "The figures for 1903 are as follows: 23.164 persons killed by the bites of serpents; 1.O46 by tigers; PIT by wolves; 973 by bears. leopards and partners. A total of 25,46O victims.
 "As for losses of domestic animals, cattle, sheep. etc, they are summed up thus: 4,OOO animals killed by reptiles: 38.211 by leopards and partners; 3O,555 by tigers; 4.719 by wolves; 2,3S7 by hy- enas; 4.00O by bears. A total of S3,S72. "Reprisals for these massacres ana preventive measures looking toward future improvements have been feeble enough, as may be judged by the fol- | lowing figures:
 "Thifty-eight thousand hunters have been out. but their success has been moderate. They have killed: 1881 tigers, including forty-three solitary

entries were made three years ago some of the grandeur and distinction it now possesses. and the whole coun- try foresaw the possibility of the new and regenerated turf. Breeders sprang up in the night and of course all eyes centered on the F'uturlty. Then non1i- nations were made. which are largely responsible for the tremendous value of the race this year. Sires and dams or more properly speaking, their pros pective offspring, were nominated to be run in the Futurity three years lat CT. After paying all entrances and ob- ligations it costs the nominator S2S2 to get his horse to the Futurity post. This year the owner of the winning two year-old will. have paid $2S2 for the privilege of winning $SS. 400. What could be a more attractive gamble or spec ulation? Of the 402 original entries or nominations but 112 remain eligible. The others have been found wanting
  year Hamburg Belle led home a field of 32 youngsters. and the previous year Savable beat a field of 31 youngsters. This years field may reach 40 horses.
 In the matter of comparison, as to value, the approaching renewal of the Futurity casts into the shade other of the big fixed events of the American turf. For instance. the Washington Park Jockey club paid Willie" Schef- tel just s26.45O on the score of High balls victory in the American Derby. The Suburban and Brooklyn handiCaps were worth s20.CO0 each, while the Brighton handicap. the richest and greatest of all the spring handicaps, had no more than $25,0OO to it's purse bag. The Lawrence Realization, pop ularly supposed to be the wealthiest of all the metropolitan three-year-old fix lures, spread S32,OO0 among Ort Welles and the two colts which followed him home
 An important rival to the Futurity is the Great Repubis stakes at Sara toga- first run last Saturday, when James R. Keene's colt. Delhi, took the enormous purse of 2.oOO. The framers and founders of this stake believe it will increase in value until the owner of the winner two years from now-he may be a poor adventurer at this time can grasp fortune of S1O0,OO0 as his representative rushes home a winner.

Cronstadt and Gibraltar.

There are two fortresses which have never been taken since they were we'll fortified - Cronstadt and Gibraltar. These are the only examples of perma- nent and elaborate strongholds which have thus far answered all expecta- tions and have never been captured, though one of them-Gibraltar-has been violently assailed. It is possible that Russia's confidence in her ability to transform Port Arthur into ar un- eonuuerable fortress was inspired by her pride in Cronstadt. This redoubta- ble fertilization is built on the island Of Kotlin, in the gulf of Finland. It is only thirty-one miles from St. Peters burg and would be of good service in the event of a Finnish instruction as check to any sudden move on the capital. It was founded by Peter the Great in 171O and still contains the lit tie cabin in which that sturdy despot lived. It has three harbors, accommo- dating 1000 vessels. It fairly bristles with earthworks. forts and batteries.
 The strategic work Of Gibraltar was known to the ancients. It was one of the Pillars of Hercules. which were crowned by the Phoenician mariners with silver columns to mark what they believed to be the limits of navigation. In the year I'll an Arab chief built q fortress on the rock. The. Castilians and the Moors were tenants for varia- ble periods. In 154O Charles V built extensive defenses on the promontory. In 1704 the rock was captured by the Dutch and English fleet which was in the service of ArcfdCRe Charles of Austria. But the archduke did not get it; it was seized by the English some thing after the fashion of the Russian occupation of Port Arthur. The Brit ish proceeded to erect the famous stronghold as it now appears. and it has never been taken, although it has had some stirring experiences. One siege lasted three years, seven months | and twelve days.

The Question of MT. Davis Age.

The democratic papers which are charging the Hon. Elihu Root with brutality and bad taste because in his speech Of notification to Senator Fair banks the great age of the democratic candidate for vice president was made me os the principal topics, are mak- sn& s fuss over a far-fetched coaclu- s50a. The age of Henry Gassaway Da- Vts Is a legitimate subject for discus stUas and it was entirely proper for &r. Root 60 point out the mistake EVss,sc by the democratic party in nom- EsA$sas for vice president a man S1 years old It will be not only proper. but it will be the duty of republicans during the campaign to direct the at tention of voters to the extraordinary situation presented by MT. Davis can didaey.
 As NIT. Root so clearly argued. a can- didste for vice president should be in every senEe a fit man to be nomi- mated for president. He should have EoS only the mental equipment and ex- FegieEce in public affairs necessary to qualify him for the highest office in the had. bat he should possess, ill addi- tton. she physical vigor and "expect- BEry of life" which will justify his Cwsssnyymen in hoping that he will sur Vlvs the presidential term. In short, the same care should be exercised in 1ric -f- Gcnt as is shown in naming the first man on the ticket. Nobody pretends that these obvious duties were regard ed in the nomination of Mir. DavS. His extreme age forbids the expectation that, four years hence, he will have the necessary strength to discharge the du- lies of president, even if he be then Hv- tas. As was suggested in these col uslns the other day, should Judge Par ker be elected his life only-for all practical purposes-would stand be- tween his secretary of state and the presidency.
 By nominating MT. Davis the demo- crats have virtually failed to provide . u EuDSl TOT lIlelI pIeSluSllLldl CdlI- didate in the event of his death. h. stead of following the constitution, they have practically asked the people to abrogate their right to elect the vice president and have created such con- dttion Of affairs as will enable their candidate, if he is elected, to name the heir to the presidency. In voting for Parker and Davis, therefore, the vot- CTS in effect will be voting also for David B. Hill as d possible president.

FRENCH STATESMAN DEAD
WaldecK- Former Premier
 of the Republic.

Paris. Aug. 1O.-Former Premier Wal deck Rousseau died at 2:45 o'clock this afternoon at his country residence at CorbeiI. eighteen miles from Paris, from the effects of an operation, which his medical attendants deemed to be a final necessity. A similar operation which was performed some months ago in Paris proved paI tially successful and the former premier was well enough to be removed to Corbeil, where it was hoped that rest and the effect of the country air would restore his strength.
 Pierre Marie Erneste Waldeck-Rous- seau was born at Nantes, France, on December ?, 1S46 and was a son Of Rene Waldeck- Rousseau. at that time a prominent member of the assembly. Waldeck-Rousseau studied law at S.. Lazare. where he practiced for some time before settling at Rennes. There he made his first entrance into politics, being elected deputy in 1879. lie then became prominent in the ranks of the republican union. which was very con- spicuous in opening the way for in- novation and the present republican, ism and he was considered ore of the most prominent orators of the assem- l
 blv.
 His best known work was the deform of the judiciary. He was reelected on August 21, 1881, and on November IA. | of the same year, although only 35 | years old, was admitted into Gambet- | ta's cabinet as minister/of the interior. | The short lived ministry of Gambatta did not offer a fitting chance to Wal | deck Rousseau to prove his ability at | that time. The resignation of the gov ernment took place January 26, 1882 | Having been offered the same portfolio | in Jules Crews cabinet, he held the same till February, 1885. In 1886 he was elected senator, although he was | not present at the election. In 1SSs | Waldeck- Rousseau was entered at the
 bar of Paris and since then pleaded
 some of the most important cases ot
 the time. He also favored a revision
 of the Dreyfus case.
 On June 22, 1899, Waldeck- Rousseau
 was called upon to form his own min-
 istry, and having been successful il
 office for over three years, he resign
 ed in June, 1902 his ministry having i had the longest duration of any cabi. net under the republican regime. Short ly after his resignation as prime min. | ister, having been repeatedly taken il | with trouble of the stomach, accord ing to some versions, cancer, and oth
 CTS. tumor Waldeck- Rousseau retired from public life.

The Honey in Horse Racing.

It is announced that this years Flu turity will te the richest horse race ever run in the United States. It will be contested at Sheepshead Bay on the 27th of this month. Recently the Coney Island Jockey club took in one of the semi-fnal declarations from the event and unoficialIy declared the splendid sum of S61. .530 was then in sight for the three horses. Of this sum S3S, 400 will go to the owner of the two-year old first home in the always memorable run down the Futurity home stretch to the finishing post. The comnig Futurity is probably the richest horse race in all the world. though the Hun graie-Zael." a subscription stake run at Vienna. Austria. last year, rewarded it's first three horses with S51.OO0. This race may be worth more this season as it is built up on the lines of the Futurity and other fixtures which in- crease and subside in the matter oi value in accordance with the prosperity of the breeding and racing markets of their respective countries.
 The prosperity of the American turf ss strikingly reflected in the value of this years Futurity. Most of the 40:

 It appears that more people are killed in India every year by reptiles and ani- mals than in many extensive wars. In all the revolutions that have occurred in South America in two decades the loss of life has not reached the total from India herewith presented. Evi- dently the English rulers of India must bestir themselves to keep down the mortality list.
