The principal news feature in connec-

The field at this place was opened up
Thursday noon and up to Saturday
night about 5000 tons had been housed.
These houses have a capacity of 90

ssof 10000 tons may also be put up at

housed at Randolph is about 121. inches

The places at which the ice fields will
be opened this morning are the Berry

GREAT SLAUGHTER OF GAME
Thousands Upon Thousands of Wild
Animals Destroyed in South
Africa.

During the four months of the
shooting season of 1904 something
like $4,000 head of game has been
sold on the Kimberley market. Those
figures were rather staggering, but it
is surprising, perhaps, to hear that
they had more than doubled during
the present year.
The secretary of the Game Protec-
ton association had obtained return
from the marketmaster which showed
that 29,119 head of game were sold
on the Kimberley market during the
period April l to August Is last. If
of that 29,119. say 1000 head were

But be that as it may, the conditions
along the strip are surprisingly free
from disorder and crime. 4 newspaper
correspondent, who made the trip
among the labor camps at night re-
Gently, reported that Notwithstanding
the fact that it had been pay day at
many points there was almost an entire
absence of drunkenness and carOusal.
AT Corozal there were a few lights in
the big hotel where the white employees
live, and fewer among the laborers'
quarters near by. There was no noise
and apparently everybody was asleep.
AT Miraflores there was not a light,
and at Pedro Miguel and Paraiso,
where there are hundreds of men, only
sound now and then from an accordi-
on or note of negro song could be
heard. At Culebra, populous camp,
most of the quarters were as still as
death, and it was only nine o'clock. At
Empire. one of the largest camps on
the line, few laborers were taking
a parting drink at the canteen, which
the proprietor seemed anxious to close
up. They were wel!-behaved, though
somewhat noisy. At Bas Obispo, Mata-
chin, GOrgona Barbacoas and other
camps of unsavory memory from the
French days there were now and then
life and music and laughter, but no
disorder or unseemly scenes.
Such a condition of affairs reflects
much credit upon the chief of the zone
police force. Capt. George R. Stanton,
whose qualifications and training seem
to have peculiarly fitted him for the
task required of him. He was formerly

truth concerning the matter. Upon
investigation it has been found that
the circumstances arc about as fol
lows:
A shipload of women were brought
from the island of Martinique and
turned over to the laborers who had
come from that island and the island
of Jamaica, and made by the latter
their common law wives, in some cases
1t being even claimed that they were
the women with whom they had been
living before in Martinique. The bring
ing of the women 10 the canal zone
was the work of those who have charge
of the hiring of the iaborers, and was
done with the purpose of making the
latter content to stay and work on the
canal. In fact. it was stated that if
the l5.borers could not live upon the
isthnus under the same conditions
which surrounded them in Jamaica
and Martinique they would not re-
main.
1t ic contended on the part of those
responsible for bringing the women to
the isthmus that there is no question
of immortality involved. for the woman
with whom a man is living is regard
ed as his wife without any marriage
ceremony. In fact these laborers de-
clare for two reasons they object to
ceremonial marriage. One is that it
costs too much, because of the fee and
the better furniture and clothes the
woman would insist on having, which
would average about SOS. The other
reason is that a woman who makes a
good common law wife thinks she
owns a man after a ceremony, and no
matter what she does he cannot get
rid Of her. To keep the upper hand
the man prefers to be able to put the
woman out of the house if she does
mot behave.
AS soon as information as to the
state of affairs reached the ears of
Gov. Magoon Immediately began in
vestigation, and issued orders to the
zone police to make a canvass and re-
port the number of unmarried couples
living as man and wife and to urge
such to get married as soon as posi-
BILE. Orders were at the same time sent
to the board of municipal judges, most
of which are composed of native Pan
amanians, to cooperate with the po-
lice 10 the same end. 1t was then that
q peculiar and rather Amusing compli-
cation to the problem was discovered.
The secretary of the board replied that
it would do its best, hut there was not
much hope of success for every mem
Der of the board had a wife but was
never married ceremonially and didn't
want to be.
But the American judges on the 18TH

such a social condition as legal in the
