Mr.. CLEVELAND
TO HIS CRITICS
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 15-In the first
number of the Country Calendar, a
magazine devoted to problems and en-
thusiasms of country-loving persons,
Grover Cleveland makes a statement
in defense of hunting and fishing, and
incidentally enters q personal rejoinder
to the accusation that he uses his
sportsman's expeditions as cloaks for
dissipation.
Il am sure that it is not necessary
for me at this late day" writes Mr..
Cleveland, ito dwell upon the fact that
| am an enthusiast in my devotion to
hunting and fishing, as well as to every
other kind of outdoor recreation. / am
so proud of this devotion that if my
sporting proclivities have at times sub
jected me to criticisms and petty forms
of persecution l do not harbor the
shadow of a desire that my steadfast-
ness be looked upon as manifesting the
courage of martyrdom. On the con-
trary, / regard these criticisms and
prosecutions as nothing more serious
than gnat stings.
THUS, when the short fishing excur-
sions, in which 1 have sought relief
from the killing vexations and perplexi-
ties of official duty, have been de-
nounced in a mendacious newspaper as
dishonest devices to cover scandalous
revelry, l have been able to enjoy a
scrt of pleasurable contempt for the
author of the accusation, while con-
graduating myself on the mental and
physical restoration L had derived from
these excursions.
mot many years ago I found that
considerable indignation had been
aroused among good neighbors and
friends because it had been said of me
that ] was willing to associate in the
field with any loafer who was the own
er of a dog and a gun. ! am sure / did
not in the least urdervalue the extreme
friendliness Of those inclined to inter-
vene in my defense. and yet at the risk
of doing an apparently ungracious
thing | felt inexorably constrained to
check their kindly efforts by promptly
conceding that the charge was too
nearly true to be denied"

SEATTLE, Wash, April 15---Owing
to the failure to make satisfactory ar
rangements with John E. Bellane. pro-
moter of the Alaska Central Rail-
road, it has been decided by the local
signal officers that they will erect no

probably be installed at some neigh
boring point on Resurrection Bay. The
cable-ship Burnside starts north May

bered his gun and saw that it was in
fine working order and looked over
the horse that had been selected for
his ride to the camp. This animal is
white, weighing about 100 pounds
and is about 1415 hands high. 1t is
said to be one of the most sure-footed
moutnain climbers in this part of the
country, but is not noted for speed.
In fact, all of the horses selected for
the party are built for hard rather
than fast work.
Guides John Goff, Jake Borah
and Brick p. Wells, in picturesque
mountain costumes, busted themselves
in giving commands for the start. In
addition TO the Presidents personal
party, which is composed of himself,
DR.. Alexander Lambert and P. B.

rode to the hunting camp to-day. Five
more were already at the camp, with
everything ready for the comfort of
the party.

TAME BEAR NOT WANTED.
The parade planned to take place
here to-day did not occur. 1t had been
arranged to form a procession led by
the miners brass band, a Gagged bear
and the Presidents party on horse
back. This pageant was to have pass
ed through the village streets and ilto
the hills, where the bear would be
turned loose and given start of thirty
miles. The State Humane Society
broke up the pans on. the ground that
the bear might return to the village
and carry off some children. 1t had
been Gagged so long that it was quite
vicious. After the humane society had
interfered the captors of the bear tried
to sell ii to Guides Goff and Borah,
Dut they said they would take their
game wild, domesticated animals hav-
ing no attractions for the President on
an occasion of this character
At 1875 o'clock the party started at
an easy canter over the hills TO the
permanent camp of the party. which
is located on East Divide Creek-the
Charles Penny ranch, about twenty
three miles southwest Of Newcastle.
There is about a foot of snow in that
section, and bear tracks were seen
there as late as yesterday. When the
