attempt TO kill Of the keepers yesterday af-
ternoon with knife and had 70 be overpoWered
before he was driven into his cage. Benga was
in good spirits yesterday and allowed the chill
dren and other visitors 10 tease him as much as
they pleased
Several keepers came along and added TO the
sport by turning a hose upon him. He enjoyed
this. and grew so boisterous that he finally took
off nearly all Of his clothing. The keepers hadn't
bargained for this. Benga was advised TO put
them en- again. but refused and persisted in re-
moving the remainder of his scanty attire. Then
the keepers took a hand and forced him to put
them On again He became furious and rushed
into his cage A minute later he was out again
with big knife used to cut his food. He ran
at one of the keepers and tried TO slash him.
but the others pressed in took the knife away
and hustled him into his cage.

night when ii became rumored that Secretary

tne leaders to the reports they had received Of
the interviews os the President with Gov
ernor Higgins, in which President Roosevelt was
said to have told the Governor that he would
make no suggestions. and that any man accepta-
ble TO the Governor and his friends and advisers
would be acceptable TO the President; and with
Timothy L. Woodruff and Mr.. Parsons. in which
he told them much tho same thing Almost
insensibIy they underwent = slight change OF

did not consider him tic less as great factor
