Cd or soft-brined woman goes into
hyeterics over the death of her pet
dog or cat and gives up TO the
most extravagant grief over his demise,
but the spectacle Of a veteran soldier
who fought with distinction in the
civil war, doing the same thing, Is
rather strange. When Bo Bo, the pct
Blenhein spaniel Of General Daniel II.
Siekles, died the other day, General
Sickles was heartbroken. He became
quito hyeterieal over his bereavement
and showed more grief over the death
of his pet dog than many people would
over the death Of dear friend or
mOmber Of their family. He had tho
dog placed in a magnificent coffin In
which the animal lay in state in the
parlor Of the sickles residence. The
dog was finally buried In the Sickles

FIGHT FOR TOGA STARTED.
Ambition Attributed to Cummins Pro
duces Furore in Politics.


DIES MONIES, April 28.-The I'M
derstanding among politicians that
Governor Cummins is to be a candi-
date against Senator Dolliver next
year has created no end of a furore.
AS result of the announcements that
have been made, Senator Dolliver has
accepted an invitation to appear at
Des Moines at the annual meeting of
the Grant club next month and will
accept a dozen Chautauqua engage
ments this summer in Iowa. Senator
Dolliver had previously said that he
could not make speeches this summer.
Governor Cummins is accepting invi-
tations to nigh school commandments
in sections of the state slated by pol
iticians as doubtful"
The Washington Post recently pub
lished an interview with Governor
Cummins, who is at Washington ar
guing the Vicksburg battle-f1ag case,
which has stirred up political Iowa.
In this interview Governor Cummins
says Iowa is to have a new primary
law which will cause congressman

from this state to look to their Iaurels,
and intimates that the state, under
the primary law, will be able TO make a
free and unbiased expression on tariff
revision. Locally, the governors
statements are taken as a challenge
to those congressman who will oppose
his candidacy to the United States SEN
ate.
AS an evidence on his sincerity in
announcing antirailroad fight, such
as Governor La Toilette conducted in
Wisconsin, the governor of Iowa has
returned to all the lines in the state
annual passes which have been offered
to him. 1t is said that prior to the
first of the year the governor rode on
passes on several of the roads.

FOUND DEAD IN VOLTS CAVE
MangIed Body of Woman Discovered
in Wichita Mountains

LEWISTON, Okla, April 2S.-Coyo-
ties and lobo wolves are playing havoc
with young calves and yearlings in the
Wichita mountains, and are becoming
so bold as to make it unsafe for one to
travel alone and unprotected. Miners
bring reports that within the last ten
days fifteen or twenty young calves
nave been captured, and it is a fire.
quent happening that people are at
tackled on foot, on horseback or in
vehicles.
While hunting for horses recently
ranchman discovered the dead body of
an unknown woman in mangled con-
dition in a wolf den, and the SUPPOSE
ton is that she was attacked and
dragged in there by the wolves. There
is yet no clue to her identity.
Another story is told Of a cowboy
being attacked by two wolves. His
clothes were torn off and his flesh
fearfully lacerated. He drew mis- knife
and killed one of them and finally
drove off the other.
These facts have been reported to
the United States forest superintend-
ent, and the matter of DISCRIMINATING
the wolves will be left to the govern
ment.
The small animals and game that
will be placed in the recently acquired
preserve, which embraces a portion of
the forest reserve, will not be safe in
SO wild a region before the fence is
constructed, and for fence no appro-
priation was made by congress.
1t is probable that these conditions
will deter the stocking of the preserve
for year or more. In portions of the
territory bounties are being offered for
wolf scalps, and this procedure may be
followed by the forest superintendent
in exterminating the wolves.

LONDON, April est is learned

when advances to this shall have been
made by Russia.
The terms of peace as decided upon
| by the mikado and his advisers stip-
ulate that Korea is to remain under
Japanese protection, and that Russia
| is to make no attempt in any way to
| interfere in the administration of the
country. Manchuria is to be restored
to the Chinese empire. VladivOstok is
to be dismantled, and become free
port. For limited number of years,
subsequently to be agreed upon, ia
Arthur, and at the end of the agreed
period the future of the port is to be
decided upon by a conference between
representatives of two powers, pre-
cided over by a representative selected
by either France or England. Russia
is not to seek to acquire naval base
in far eastern waters and the strength
of her fleet in those waters is to be
we'll within defined limits. The rail-
ways of Manchuria are to be bought
at price arrived at by mutual agree
ment from Russia by Japan, and trans
gerred to China.
A large money idemnity has been
considered by Japan, but this, it Is
learned, might be modified, Or e~-n

ton of a Japanese garrison at Port
Arthur might also be waived, on Rus

Resigns Because of Failure of His
Moroccan Policy.

Paris, June Foreign Minister
Delcasse has resigned and his reslg-
nation has been accepted. Premier
Rouvier will assume temporarily the
portfolio of minister tor foreign af-
fairs.
Later ii was announced that NJ. Rou-
vier would hold the portfolio of foreign
affairs indefinitely, probably yielding
the ministry of finance (Which he di-
reefs in addition TO being premier) in
order to devote his entire attention TO
the solution of the troubled foreign
situation.
The resignation of NJ. Delcasse is
due to the failure of French policy in
Morocco, the sultan having practically
rejected Frances plans for the reform
of the administration Of Morocco by
proposing that the whole subject be
submitted to conference of the pow
ers signatory of the treaty of Madrid.
M. Delcasse rendered his resignation
April 81, but he was prevailed upon to
retain the portfolio of foreign affairs.
