and from the game commissioners themselves
the prospects are bright for a season OF fine
snort for the deer are numerous as ever, and
there is some reason to believe that the moose
have somewhat increased in numbers. There
have been no changes of consequence IN tne
laws affecting big game since last season. The
caribou are still protected, the six years close

ing been renewed by the last legislature for an
other six years. 1t is said that the caribou.
which migrated from Maine years ago. going far
northward to the St Lawrence River. and even
into Labrador. are now returning but not IN
sufficient numbers to warrant the authorities In
making an open time for killing the game
II is expected that about two Thousand sports
men from other States will come to Maine TINS
fall to kill game, and that they will spend here
about 100000, in railroad fares hire OF guides
camp expenses and taxidermy. With the men
come many women. and for the convenience OF
these latter there are, in some localities. women
guides.
The open season for big game allowance TO
each hunter, methods Of transportation etc.
are fixed by law as follows:
Moose one bull only. having not less than
two tines to it's horns, may be killed between
October Is and December l. Cow and caf
moose are not to be killed at any time.

NOT A CURE.ALL.

General Grant cautioned The Tribune re-
porter not to carry away the impression that
he believed the restoration of the canteen would
prevent all lapses of discipline.
There are men in the army who prefer to
drink. bad whiskey" he said. If you provided
e place where they could get beer or even
champagne for nothing they would still crave
bad whiskey and get into trouble through
drinking it. We must, however. work for the
greatest good of the greatest number, and that
demands the restoration of the canteen.'
General Grant has been much interested in the
matter of assertions. which last year showed
the following percentages: Cavalry. 20 per
cent; artillery, IL per cent. and infantry, s per
cent of the enlisted force. the total number re-
ported being 1892. He traces a majority of
these directly to the absence OF the canteen and
the presence OF vile liquor places outside the
post boundaries
When a Tribune reporter asked him for par
ticular instances he handed bundle of
report slips representing the assertions for the
month Of September These slips give the name
army record and description Of the deserter on
one side On the other the commanding officer
OF the post from which the soldier has taken
French leave gives any known reason for the
desertion.
There were several hundred OF the slips, but
the first half dozen so will show the way the
reports ran.
The first told of the desertion OF a New
Yorker aged twenty-five. from Fort Hamilton
The cause given was: Drank some. but not
to excess which further interpreted by
General Grant as meaning that he wandered
into one Of the grog shops. oVerstayed his time,
missed drills, lost his money, felt the disgrace
keenly and deserted
The second was the desertion from Fort Trum-
bull, Rhode Island. Of Bostonian aged twenty
five, and the cause was This soldier was ad-
dicted TO the habit Of drinking intoxicating
liquors" Here Is one Of a class which army off,
