NOT A BEAR YET SIGHTED
President RooseveIt's Hunt in Louis
lana Not Very Successful.

StamDoul, La, oct. 9.-Secretary
Latta returned Tuesday from his visit
to the president in the latters camp
On the Tensas river, bringing with
him batch of newly dictated letters
and recollections of a very wet night
spent in camp. He says that Mon
days rain was even more than was
bargained for and that while the first
effect was to put the woods in good
condition, they became SO wet by 2
O'Clock that the party was compelled
to return to camp. The rain which
had begun early in the day continued
throughout the night and it was de-
cided not to venture out at all owing
to the water in the canebrake in
which they are hunting. No one has
yet sighted bear, but the dogs
found trail Monday and the profes.
sional hunters expressed the belief
that from the sound the baying meant
that they had located a real bear. II
was dark, however, and became neces
sary to call the hunt off,
The president puts in much of his
time when not engaged in the hunt in
reading and in conversation with his
associates and the guides and hunt
ers who accompany them. Another
deer was shot Monday.

CHALLENGE OF SWEDEN.
Underlying Motives for Her Attempt
to Compete for Cup.

Stockholm, Oct. "A deep feeling
of patriotism and the desire to i'm
press the world with the separate ma
tfonality of Sweden appear to be the
underlying motives for the challenge
to, series of races for the America S
cup.
"All men applying to participate In
this race from the captain down will
be examined as to their nationality
and any men having Norwegian blood.
even as far back as the fifth genera
ton, will be excluded"
These words were used by promi-
nent yachting authority In discussing
the subject. Continuing. this man
said that Swedish yachtsmen OF re-
cent years had diligently studied
American methods OF designing and
racing yachts by means Of the news
papers and visits to the United States.
And although Sweden might not win.
she certainly would go through the
race with honor.

TAFT AT SHANGHAI.
Secretary Of War Cordially Greeted by
the Chinese.

Shanghai, Oct 9.-Secretary OF
War William H Taft and the members
of his party arrived here Tuesday on
the steamer Minnesota, which is con-
veying him from Japan to Manila. The
Chinese and the foreign residents of
Shanghai united in giving the dis
tinguished visitor hearty welcome.
In the afternoon Mr.. Taft dedicated
the building of the Young Mems
Christian association. He made a
brief address in which he said that
the work of the association among
the Chinese was a great step in the
interests of civilization, and he was
followed by several Chinese officials
who spoke in approval of the under
taking. At 4 O'Clock in the afternoon
the secretary was given an elaborate
reception by the Chinese residents.
This function was out of doors in a
native garden. The promoters Of the
reception were prominent Chinese
merchants representing forty-five of
the guilds formerly in the boycott
movement against American manu-
facturers.
SDeeches of welcome were made in
English by local Chinese business
men and the representative of the vice
roy. The Cinnamon emphasized the
cordial relations existing today be-
tween China and the United States,
saying the friendship Of America had
been evidenced by sending relief to
the famine sufferers, the support OF
schools and hospitals and the waving
by the United States of her part OF
the Boxer indemnity. In reply, Secre
tary Taft thanked the Chinese for
their reception, which he said gratified
| him as an evidence of their friend
ship toward the American people and
| government. At the conclusion Of his
address the secretary was presented
with handsome silver punch bowl.

Upton EXPRESSES REGRET
Sorry His Challenge to Race for the
Americas Cup Was Refused.

Dublin, Oct. 2.-Sir Thomas Upton
again has expressed his deep regret
at the refusal Of the New York Yacht
club to accept his challenge to a race
for the Americas cup, and in a
lengthy letter to the Royal Irish Yacht
club he sets forth his reasons in de-
tail. The letter in part says:
ST have already competed three
times under the conditions of the deed
Of gift with the notifications arranged
under the mutual agreement clause,
and my personal experience Of these
contests is such that I consider that
the handicap of having to design a
vessel of the type which has been
gradually developed during recent
years and which shall be of sufficiently
light construction, yet capable of be.
ing taken with safety on it's own bot
tom across the Atlantic, entirely pre-
cludes the possibility of competing on
equal terms with vessel which is
age.
my present challenge was drawn
up with view to comply with the
principal conditions of the deed of
| gift and at the same time encourag
ing the type of vessel which has been
approved and adopted by the New
! York Yacht club.
II recognize the members of this
club are well within their right in de
Gliding as they have done, yet l an
sorry that they have not been able
under the mutual agreement clause, tt
meet me in my wish to have a race
under their own universal rules
which, in my opinion, encourages &
very wholesome and very desirable
| type of yacht
