New Zealand Legislature Passes Ac.
to Protect "PeIorus jack"
':Pelorus Jack" is the name OF an
old dolphin which is protected by a
special act of the New Zealand legis.
1ature.
According to an Australian colonist
George Hayes, the official proclama.
tion of Tic government prohibits any
interference with Pelorus Jack under
a penalty of S100.
Forty years ago, when Mr.. Hayes
first emigrated to Australia, he heard
an old sailors tale, according to which
a,.shoal of dolphins grounded on the
shores Of Cook Strait, and one OF
them escaped into the sea. That one,
which is now acknowledged to be
Pelorus Jack, never left the locality
where he lost his companions, and,
as Mr.. Hayes says, "he is now pro-
: tectcd Dy law as he has always been
by sentiment"
The most remarkable fact of all is
the reason for the passage of the law,
which is that Pelorus Jack acts as a
most effective pilot, escorting all
kinds ixof vessels in and out of the
French Pass, Cook Strait, always
keeping to deep water.
For years he was believed to be a
s.beluga, or white whale, but recent
scientific investigation has shown that
hesis really 4 dolphin. AS he is never
absent from his duties the proclama.

isfaction throughout Australasia by
sailors who have to use the French

London, BY Cable.-Baron Hayashi,

Associated Press that Russia had ap-
pointed good men as peace plenipoten-

Baron Rosen had not inspired Japan
with confidence in favorable outcome
Of the negotiations. eve do not know"
the minister added, what powers have
been delegated to them and after the
events of the past Is months Japan
puts faith only in accomplished facts.
The terms will be communicated only
at the conference. Then we will dis
cover what powers the Russian pleni-
potentiaries possess"
The Associated Press representative
suggested that the general opinion pre-
vailed that the Japanese terms will be
moderate.
"I cannot see where people get such
an idea," replied the minister, the
public evidently mistake the japanese
for angels"
Minister Hayashi, intimated that
Japan was ready to continue the war
unless she secures suitable terms. He
called attention to the fact that prac-
tically the entire sum realized by the
last two loans was unexpended and
said the capture of the island of SAX
halin was not precipitated by the ap-
proach of the conference, but was a
natural sequence of the Japanese cam

altered since Russia acceded to the con-
ference. An earlier attack on the island
was not undertaken principally because
of the severe winter and because the
summer season was preferable for
campaigning and the establishment OF
