Hogs Keen Sense OF Hearing.

Hogs have much keener sense
of hearing than most people seem to
think" said man from the coun-
try. "They can see well and at
considerable distance, but the most
and eyes of the hog must give first
place to the ears.
This is so, no doubt, because hear
ing Is probably the most useful of the
senses In the hog life. particularly at
that season of the year when the hog
in the wild state must rely upon. the
fruitage of trees, in the main, for
food. Even with this advantage 1t
is frequently fierce race to see
which hog can get there first. 1t
would be interesting to know Just
how far hog can hear an acorn fall,
1t is remarkable how quickly they be-
come cognizant of the fact that an
acorn has been blown from its outer
shell. and tumbling toward the
ground, and he seems to catch the
sound quicker when he knows a COM
petitor is near who will run him a
race for the nut I have witnessed
some fierce and interesting races be-
tween hogs, with an acorn as the
stake
Put hog within twenty yards of
an oak and in nine cases out of ten
he will beat the acorn to the place.
In nine cases out of ten the hog will
be within a few feet of where the
acorn strikes the ground, another
fact which argues superiority of the
hogs hearing He can apparently
tell pretty well by the sound where
the acorn will fall. and he will rare
Iy miss 1t more than few feet. -

BALTIC FLEET STILL
BEING HARBORED
BY FRANCE
ONLY FOUR HUNDRED MILES
FROM ADMIRAL TOGO.
Feeling Against France In Toxic Is
Growing Stronger and May
Cause Trouble.

Hong Kong, May 16.-From informa-
tion received here it is now believed

st. James island one of two islands
owned by France 80 miles southwest
of this place and 500 miles north of

,t FEELING AGAINST FRANCE.
Toxic, May 16.-The feeling against
France which has been dying out is
again becoming stronger and 1t is
feared that the government may yet
be forced to act. 1t is openly charged
by the scmi-oficial newspapers that
France has again proven her insincer-
ity and that she never had any inten-
ton of driving the Russians out of
French waters. In order to try and
deceive England and Japan she made
them move but so soon as the hue and
cry died down they were again af-
forded a refuge in French harbor.

WOMAN ATTACKED
BY an Unknown Man Near the W. &
/. e. Tracks.

In a dark portion of Warner avenue
Saturday night at about $3.50 o'clock,
Mrs Samuel Weimer, of 1896 Charles
street, was attacked by an unknown
man while she was walking to her
home Her stout and continued resist
ance proved her salvation from the
brutes offense and he was finally
beaten off, taking to his heels. Chief
of Police McCloud was first informed
of the incident yesterday when the
woman came to his Office and told
her story. The attack took place close
to the w. G. l.. E. tracks.
Mrs. Weimer heard the sound of n
buggy and saw man jump out He
approached her quickly and attempted
to force her to the ground. In the
buggy were two other men. They i'm
mediately drove away. The woman's
assailant forced her back to a fence
close to the sidewalk but in the mean
time she rained blows upon his face
and body with an umbrella which she
was carrying. Her cries for help
were not answered. firing of his task
the unknown person suddenly started
on run for the w. & l.. e. tracks.
when he started toward the city. Mrs
Weimer was able to reach her home
She has not the slightest idea as to
who the person 1t. She described him
to Chief McCloud as being of tall
build, weighing about 190 pounds. He
appeared to be young man.

FOR CONSTRUCTION
OF PANAMA CANAL
MATERIAL WILL BE BOUGHT
WHERE 1T is CHEAPEST.
But-There Is to Be no Limitation In
Scope of Field of Com
petition. ti

Washington D. G. May 15.-Material
for the construction of the Panama
canal will be secured where 1t can
be purchased the cheapest.
Everything else being equal, Amer
ican goods will be given the prefers
ence. But there is to be no limi-
tation in scope of the field of compe-
tition.
This decision was reached by the
executive committee of the isthmian
canal commission late this afternoon,
The decision followed lengthy
consideration of the question of poll
cy. 1t has already been given full
sanction by President Roosevelt.
The discussion took the widest scope.
1t is understood that the strong oppos-
ition with which this policy will be
met by American manufacturers was
touched upon and the probability of
change that it struck at the pro-
tective tariff principle was suggested,
But the desire of the president to
have the isthmian waterway built at
the least possibility cost to the United
States and the embarrassment with
which the commission was meeting
in securing machinery and supplies in
sufficient quantities. and at reasonable
prices resulted in the determination
to bring about sharper competition.
1t was further decided to buy two
additional vessels in which to trans
port the canal supplies from New York
city to Colon. The same purchas-
ing discretion is to be exercised.
1t is likely that the ships will be
bought in Great Britain. The best
possible American figure the COM
mission has been able to secure is
that of $1,400,0O0 with a wait of Is
months before delivery. For $780,
900 the commission can buy two,
British ships of idential workmanship
and tonnage, the delivery to be made
at once.
The necessity Of purchasing these
ships at once is Incompatible. I'm
less an American shipbuilder or owner
can meet the figure, without delay,
the foreigner will win.
The question of register was dis
cussed. In-as-much as the traffic is
of a restricted character and Is to be
from an American to foreign port II
was held that the coastwise laws
would not apply,
Senator Gallinger Of New Hamp-
shire announced In the closing days
of last session that he would introduce
the bills at the next session and press
their consideration.
High officials look for a severe and
concerted denunciation of the policy
by American manufacturers and a
protest from high protective tariff
senators and members of congress.
