RUNS DOWN WOLVES
THE PRESIDENT IN OKLAHOMA
Genuine Western Sport Hunting Coy
otes with Horses and Dogs
Strenuous DAYS Work.

Frederick. Okla. April 1.-THE
President and his party began their
hunt yesterday morning after expert
encing western rainstorm during tho
night.
The wolf chase to which the Presi-
dent has been so eagerly looking for
ward began early yesterday morning
at Camp Roosevelt, eighteen miles
southeast OF here. There are about
forty dogs in the pack. belonging to
John Alternately. the famous wolf
catcher and have been dieted and
looked after the past month as care
fully as trainer looks after the pugi-
lis< who is expected to retain the
championship belt of the world.
In the chase yesterday the training
Of these dogs was noticeable. Tho
party Of about dozen. including Pres
ident Roosevelt and his doctor, had
not Travelled far this morning until
their dogs were leading them on d
fresh scent. Soon the leaders were re-
warded by seeing a lank grey wolf de-
liberately Looping as If unmindful of its
pursuers. The dogs all seemed to
catch sight of the prey at the same
time. The wolf sought to elude its
pursuers by lodging, but this only
hurried matters. as it enabled the fore
most dogs to catch up with their prey.
AS the wolf turned to beat off Its as
sailants other dogs sprang upon the
bristling animal and bore 1t to tho
ground. where it was quickly dis
patched without the aid of the hunters.
Two other wolves were killed in much
the same manner before the sun indi-
Gated that it was time for the midday
meal.
The President was invariably at tho
head of the procession of riders. At
one point, seeing some water in buf-
falo wallow, he galloped to the spot
before the dogs reached it and slipped
up the refreshing liquid in good old
fashioned cowboy style. By l o'clock
the members of the party were again
in their saddles ready for another
chase. But about ten Of the party
were permitted to enter in tie after
Moons sport, as it was found that the
greater number OF hunters the smaller
the amount OF sport
Horses, riders and dogs seemed to
grow in endurance as the day waned,
and by night the big reservation con-
tanned a considerably less number OF
coyotes than when the chase began.

Chicago Teamsters' Strike.

Chicago. April 1l.-There was moth
ing in yesterdays developments that
would indicate that there is to be u
peaceable settlement OF the strike in
augurated by the tcamsters against the
mail order house of Montgomery

Although big and noisy crowds fol-
lowed the caravans. and the police

successful than last weeks efforts.
Forty members of the employers as
sociation, at meeting yesterday, Is

Increasing Japanese Army.

Toxic, April 12.-Japan is meeting
the Russian plan of reorganization and
reinforcement of its Manchurian arm
les with an extensive expedition from
its own military organization. The de-
tails and figures are carefully con-
cealed of what seems to be plan to
double the present army units, but it
is reliably estimated that by autumn
next the total military organi->t
will exceed million men actually en-
employed in the field. The fighting
force is roughly estimated at 100000
men, with increases largely in the In
fantry and artillery, although an en-
largement in the cavalry branch is also
contemplated.

chicago, April 12.-Walter Wellman,
wiring from Washington to the Rec
ord-Herald. says:
"Field Marshal Oyama plans to cap
ture Vladivostok before the Russion
fleet, or any part of it, can reach that
port This information has been re-
ceiVed here through trustworthy chan
nels.
One of the greatest strategy games
the world ever saw is now being
played In Asia and Asiatic water. and
military students as well as diplomats
are watching it with keenest interest.
for the Japanese the capture OF

Ihey have not yet captured the place

scored. The Russians. no matter in
what condition they find themselves
after the forthcoming series of en-
gagements with Togo. will have no
haven of retreat, no place to retire for

according to reports received here
the Russians have not large garrison
in Nladivostok. Most of the troops
formerly stationed there have been
sent to reinforce the main army in
Manchuria. Nor is the port strongly
defended by fortresses and guns on
the land side. The Russians never
anticipated an attack from the rear.
There We're many things which they
did not anticipate. but which have ac-
tually happened since this war began.
In building Vladivostok they
planned well nigh impregnable naval
fort. Such it is. But its land defenses
are weak
The Japanese believe that within
two or three weeks after starting their
siege they may carry the place by as

Rapid Progress on Canal.

Washington, April 12-John F. Wal
lace, chief engineer of the isthmian ca
nal, said to-day that there are now
practically 5000 men engaged under
his direction on the engineering and
construction work of the canal. The
work of installing an American plant
at Culebra is going forward as fast as
the machinery and supplies can be Sc
cured on the isthmus, and when Mr..
Wallace left there were six American
steam shovels at work in the Culebra
excavation and arrangements have
been made to install additional ma
chimes at the rate of two a month.
During the last ninety days laborers
have been coming in freely from Costa
Rica, Jamaica and Barbados.
The health of the young Americans
on the isthmus is particularly good.

CHAPTER XII.

Mistress Rosemary Allyn think with
amiability of the man who had given
a coup de grace to Cousin Raoul?"
Such an event would be putting an
end to my own existence, for an ex-
istence without my lady would be
blank indeed to me. I would give
him a slight pink, I decided, yet
enough to lay him up for time since
owed him malice.
1t is true that women either love or
hate; l would have her love. 1t is
equally true that women are to be
won; I would win her. AS a man

so shall he reap. Should l some day

A crowd made up of gentlemen of

And she alighted with all the airs
of a grande dame-the jade! She
swept past the crowd disdainfully
paying no heed to their nudgings OF
loud whispers, as they commented
upon her form and features, even as
farmers at country fair upon their
prize stock.
She beckoned me to follow. We
went up a narrow stairway and en-

threw herself into chair, while she
motioned me to another

Then I thought it best to tell her of

HIS MAJESTY WAS WISE.
Knew Something About the Ways of the White Man with
 a Graft.

As the fearless white man entered the kraal of the native king, salute was sounded on drum of serpent skin, and six warriors, with necklaces of human teeth rattling about their ebony throats, led him before a rough ivory dais, on which sat a majestic and formidable figure.
 "Haill" said the white man.
 And without loss of time he took out one of his brass watches. wound it up, and showed its works to the dusky mon- arch.
 This marvel, he said, "I will give your majesty. making you the envy of all men and all tribes, in return for only six tusks of not less than 70 pounds weight each"
 The king took the watch, produced a monocle from pouch hidden in his shield. and. after a moments study of the brass trinket, returned it with a languid smile.
 Last year." he said, "in London, I exchanged an old wooden war club for a bushel of these things, and. by love. there wasn't one of them that ran above a week"

ANTELoPE's SIGNAL CODE.
White Patches of Hair Which Flash Warning When Danger
 Menaces.

Visitors to the circus and menagerie have noticed the two white patches on antelopes. Those spots are signal which can be read by the animals which have noses to smell. Even the animals whose sense smell has been lost can read the message which the antelope gives to warn his friends of danger, states the New York Herald.
 The hairs on these patches are long, white and ordinarily point downward. Among the roots of the hair is a gland which secrets strong musk. Under- heath the skin at this point is a broad sheet of muscles which have the power to raise these hairs so that they stand out at all angles like the petals of a huge white chrysanthemum. When an antelope sees danger this muscle acts and the patch flashes out like snow. In the middle of each is dark brown spot. the musk gland. which frees a great quantity of the musk. which can be detected down the wind for a long distance by another antelope. Even man can distinguish this danger signal for some yards.
 The antelope has five different sets of glands, each giving forth different kind of musk for use in its daily life as a means of getting or giving intelli- gence- The two in the middle of each rump patch has been explained, but the purposes of the others have not yet been fully accounted for.

SPECIALS
GROOVES IN INDIAN ARROW Thought by Ethnologists to Have Been Made for Blood to
 Run Through.

h making the Indian arrow, three small undulating grooves are cut or the shaft, running down to the head from the lower end of the feathers. This, says the Southern Workman, has attracted the attention of some of the ethnologists, who gave the matter con. siderable study and wisely concluded that the little lines were made for the blood to run through, or that they rep. resented lightning. An old Omaha who had the reputation of being very skillful in cutting the grooves in arrow shafts, was called by the chief to dc that work for him on some arrows he was making. The chief himself was a fine aTrow-maker, but he recognized the skill of the old man in this particular line. While the work was in progress, the chiefs son, who had reached the inquisitive age, and was looking on with wide-eyed interest, suddenly asked: Venerable man. why are you making those crooked lines?" The chief gave a hearty laugh and said: Father. tell him. for he will be mak- ing arrows himself some day. and he should know" Every sapling." an- swered the old man. "out of which the arrow is made has some defect. how ever faultless 1t may appear to be. The good arrow-maker takes a great deal of pains to smooth out and straighten the imperfectiOns by oiling and heat. ing. But the wood. in time will spring back because of it's inherent defects. unless these grooves are cut in the shaft soon after seasoning and strengthening.
