APPROVE JlU JlTSU.
It Will be Adopted by the United
States Army and Navy.

Washington, April 1.-The war de-
partment has made public the report
of the Joint board of army and navy
officers convened by special orders
on February to take into consider
atirn the physical training of the cad.
cts at the military academy and OF
midshipmen at the naval academy.
The report is Endorsed by President
Roosevelt, who directs that furtn-
er report on progress be submitted to
him 60 days hence. Acting Secre-
tary Darling approves the recommen'
dations, except as to the suggestion
that the sword Of the army be made
a part of the equipment OF every snip
in the navy for the use OF onicers
and landing parties.
The report is very long. Its most
important feature Is the recommends
ton that the Japanese art OF 1iu oltsn
be incorporated in the course with
boxing and wrestling. The board re-
ports that it is not of great value as
a means of physical development, but
the knowledge of the system would
inspire the individual with degree
of self-confidence. The board recon-
mends that physical training be ex.
tended over the four years course at
each academy, instead of one year
as at present.

ROCkEFELLER'S GIFT.
Protest Against Acceptance Of "Taint'

Protest Against Acceptance Of "Taint-
ed" Money by Church.
Boston, April 1.-The committee
which heads the protest of Congrea-
tionalists against the action OF the
American board of commissioners for
foreign missions in accepting a gift
of 100000 from John D. Rockefeller
today issued a statement inviting all
persons, whether clergymen or lay
men, who wished to record themselves
as in sympathy with the protest, to
send their names to the chairman OF
the committee, Rev. Daniel Evans, OF
Cambridge.
1t was stated that many letters, in
dicating sympathy with the protest,
were being received by different men,
bers of the committee and to facili-
tate clerical work it was desired that
they should all direct to common
center.
One of the officials of the commit
tee today said that the prOtestants
had a plan to present to the pruden-
tial committee of the American board
in view of the difficulty apparently
presented by the fact that the gift
already had been given and used In
part, which would be offered at the
proper time" 1t is understood that
if the protesting clergymen fail to
bring about a.eturn of the money
already used and reputation of the
gift, they will aim to secure from
the American board such a declara.
ton as will prevent the possibility OF
the recurrence of such a controversy
as the present one.

WOLVES AND COYOTES.

Montana's New Scheme for GETTING

Montanas new scheme for dispos-

prey upon stock, by the incubation
route rather than by the gun or 9th.
er and more sudden means, is to be
given it's test early in the summer
under the provisions of the law passed
by the recent legislature.
BY the terms of the new law, Dr.
M. E Knowles, the state veterinarian,
is to have direction of the expert
ments. and he is to select reliable
men in each of the eight counties OF
the state who shall have charge Of
the work for their respective coun-
ties. Eight coyote and wolf puppies
are to be secured, and after being in.
oculated with mango are to be careful.
ly guarded until the arrival of the
proper moment for their release.
When all is ready, the official keep
er of the coyotes and wolves is to
turn the animals out, first carrying
them at least eight miles from the
point of confinement. Under the law
the animals must be carried in eight
different directions and loosed, so that
the inoculated ones may be thorough.
ly distributed about the country. This
being done, the state must await de-
velopments. Meanwhile it will con-
tinue to pay the bounty provided by
law for the scalps of the pests, hop.
ing, however, that there will at last
become an end to the necessity for
paying out hundreds of thousands of
dollars in bounty.
The men who are to look after the
work in each county are to receive
SIS head, this including capturing.
injecting and distributing the ami
mails.
DR.. Knowles has selected the men
who are to look after the work in three
of the counties, these being: K. Preu-
lit, Chouteau; George Clark, Valley,
