went 10 Brownsville and Investigated the
alleged riot of the colored troops, He

London-The gradual disappear

the English authorities to take some
steps toward its preservation, and the
idea Of constituting reservations on
the lines of Yellowstone park in the
United States, has been proposed.
A report that was issued recently

the remarkable number of big game

LONG TRIP ON HORSEBACK.
Man Wagers He Can Visit All State
Capitals in -Four Years.

hington.-William X McBeth,
who started from Scottdale, Pa, to
visit all of the state capitals of the
United States on horseback. arrived in
Washington the other day.
His trip is the result of Il wager of
$4,000. McBeth is not allowed to
buy or beg anything for the susie
nance of himself or his mount. but
must depend entirely for funds and
shelter upon the presentation OF souye
mir post cards which bear his picture
and information concerning his trip
He is not allowed to offer them for
sale, but may present them and re-
ceive in compensation whatever peo-
pie may care to give him.
His average ride must be 2S miles
each day, and should he for any rea.
son fail to cover this distance, he
must make it up the following day, as
he has only four years in which to
complete his trip.
No consideration will be made for
delays of any kind. Even should his
horse become disabled or die McBeth
must endeavOr to fulfill his wager TO
the best of his ability, as no allowance
whatever will be made for him.
When he called at the White House
McBeth was dressed in a corduroy
suit, trimmed with maroon applique,
and was thought at first to be one of
the presidents many western friends.

But by nature. rs well as by inher-

chosen in 1900 to take the stump in
the West for the Na.onal Republican
Committee. In 1904 after a trip to Ha-
wall. he went to the National Republi-
can Convention in Chicago. where he
put in some good work for the only
plank in the platform touching the At
ro-American people. lie then came
directly TO New York city, where he
settled. and has lived ever since in the
district known as the Black Belt.
That fall he showed his mettle by
peremptorily breaking up the scheme
Of the Democrats in the old Nineteenth
where he lived, to challenge every Al
ro-American voter and thereby prevent
by the consumption of time, most of
them from voting. AS soon as the
scheme was tartcd Mr.. Stewart had
the Democratic election captain arrest

fectualy stopped the outrage. Crate
