Roosevelt on Wolf Hunting.

MT. RooseYelt's recent attack or some of those who write of wild ami
 mals makes his own descriptions, il
 his book called Good Hunting (recent. | ly published by the Harpers, the de.
 scriptions having been written for ont
 of the Harper periodicals before MT Roosevelt was President), of high In. terest Here, for example, is some,
 thing in regard to the timber-wolf.
 Wolves are very shy, and show ex-
 traordinary cunning both in hiding
 themselves and in sinking out of the
 way of the hunter They are rarely killed with the rifle. I have never shot but one myself They are occa- sionally trapped. but after very few have been procured in this way the survivors become so wary that 1t is almost impossible even for master of the art to do much with them, while an ordinary man can never get one into trap except by accident
 More can be done with poison, but even in this case the animal speedily learns caution by experience. When poison is first used in district, wolves are very easily killed, and perhaps al- most all of them will be slain, but it is difficult to catch any but young ones in this way.
 "The most successful wolf-hunter on the Little Missouri in 1896 was a man who did not rely on poison at all but on dogs. He was hunter named and he always had pack Der varied, for a wolf at, bayyis ter rible fighter, with jaws like those of a steel trap and teeth that cut like knives, so that the dogs were con tinually disabled and sometimes kill- ed, and the hunter had always to be on the watch to add animals to his pack,
 The only two necessary requisites were that the dogs should run fast and fight gamely; and in consequence they formed as wicked, hard-biting a crew as ever ran down and throttled a wolf. They were usually taken out ten at time, and by their aid Massingale kill ed two hundred wolves in the course of the year.
 "of course there was no pretenoe of giving the game fair play The wolves were killed as vermin, not for sport. The greatest havoc was in the when the she-wolves were to their dens, which were holes In the earth and natural calves. There were rom three to nine whelps in each lit- err

turing various textiles are subsidized 1 particularly cottons; in agriculture
 numerous raw products are encourag-
 ed and assisted, and in transportation
 the large shipping companies have be-
 come virtually a part of the govern
 ment, so closely are their policies con
 nected. The government, through the
 banks, which are able 10 use public | funds to bolster private credit. has en- coCraged and assisted the importation l ot machinery, to be used in ina1gurat- ing new industries and extending old ones. In some of these enterprises the government is reviying projects which 1 have previously failed under private di- rection, and even government controI l a7 the steel industry, and some of the dock and shipbuilding plants. Every ef-
 fort is being made to discover any nat
 ural resources of the country that are susceptible of profitable development, l and wherever such are found the gov ernment stands ready to promote, at least Indirectly, companies to exploit them.
 Duh Sopdu6SG StdlSSulen T6dilZe traL it is one thing to make products and another to sell them. The market in Japan can be to a certain extent con
 trolled by handlcapping foreign pro-
 ducts through the tariff; but Japan's goal is commercial supremacy in the far east, and this means that she must
 meet competitors in regions where she dees not, at least now, have the advan-
 tage of control.
 The chief agency employed in push
 ing the national commerce outside the national boundaries is the transporta-
 tion facilities at the command of the government. These facilities now amount to an absolute monopoly by land and sea. The government owns and operates all the railways, and the great shipping companies, such as the Nip pon Yusen Kaisha, the Osaka Shosen Kaisha, and the Toyen Risen Kaisha, ara directly subsidized and practically a part of the government system. The majority of the stock of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha is owned by the imperi- al family. Combined, the three great subsidized companies now operate about 1s0 vessels, with total tonnage of over 800, ,O00 tons In creating and supporting her merchant marine Japan subsidies all along the line. To ves- sells built in Japan special subsidy IS granted, and material for their con- struction which must be imported from abroad is admitted free in most cases. Then when the ships are put into oper- ation they are again subsidized in the case of the three great companies to the extent of a fair dividend on their original capital stock. So it will be seen that, should circumstances make it de- sirable, these companies are able to op- crate without ordinary revenue.
 With these conditions in mind the declaration of a national intention to dominate the far eastern shipping trade has unusual significance.-Thomas F. Willard in Appleton's Magazine.

DEMURRAGE RATE.
Will Go Into Effect Here on July I,

Will Go Into Effect Here on July 1.
 In ten days the New Haven road will enforce a new schedule of per diem de- murrage charges of frieght cars of oth- CT roads handled on this system, The present rate of 25 cents a day for foreign cars will remain the same for 30 days, but thereafter the rate will be raised to ST.
 This has been agreed 50 my most of tile big roads of the country including the New Haven, with the object of hur- rying home equipment.
 At present the big roads owning an enormous number of cars are as short of them as the small roads owning only few in comparison.
 The new demurrage rate will obviate this difficulty in a degree, it is. ex- pected.
