ANIMALS NOT SHIPPED.
Incorrect Rumor of Arrivals at the
Zoo Park

The rumor that the two magnificent lions
and the Grevy zebra, which Emperor
Menelix II of Abyssinia is sending to Presi-
dent Roosevelt would arrive at &the Ma
tional Geological Park here today was
without foundation. The officials at the
park said this morning that the animals
had not yet been shipped from the New
York zoo, and might not be sent here I'M
der a week.
If the customary method Is followed. they
will leave New York in warm cars in the
evening. and, travelling all night, will ar
rive here by daylight, according to pre-
arrangement, in order that they may be
taken directly to the geological park with
out any delay In an express office. As soon
as their train pulls out Of Jersey City the
local officials expect to be told OF the same
by telegraph. and have ample time to make
ready for the reception of the royal guests.
The animals are accompanied by a native
Abyssinian keeper. Saleb Bin Saleb. They
are said to be rare specimens OF their kind,
and are expected to excite considerable
curiosity among local scientists It Is said
the Grevy zebra Is the first animal of its
species that has ever reached the United
States.

SERIOUS CONFERENCE.

agreement under which the lines have
been working for two years or more ex-
pires by limitation in few days and the
meeting was for the purpose or seeing it
some common ground for renewing ~

II developed that there was little hope
OF renewing It and the conference broke
up without definite date for reassembling

freight situation will now become so bad
that the decentralization itself Will force
