Mexico's Substitute Governors.

The election OF Hon. Henry c. Creel,
the Mexican Ambassador to the Unit
ed States, to the GovernOrship OF
his home State Of chihuahua HIll not
in the least interfere with his diplo-
matte duties in Washington. The
MeXicans have curious system that
allows a kind OF dual Goyeruorsh!p.
A man who is elected Chief I1xecu
tive OF one OF their States need not
actually work at his job, so to speak,
but he can designate some other to
attend to all the details OF the Of
fee. Mr.. Creel will, in accordance
with this custom, after he is elected
Governor, appoint proxy, while the
principal will continue to represent
the republic of Mexico at Washing
ton. It looks curious from our Amer
lean point Of view, but in practice
it seems to work out very satisIac

WOOD BUFFALO,.
Little Herd cf Them Near Lake Atha-
basca Is Decreasing.

There still exists in the northwest
the little band of wood buffalo, known
as the Peace River herd. which
ranges along the Peace River and
Slave River in the wooded country
north Of Lake Atbahasca. This herd,
which the most s,inguiIe do not esti-
mate as over 400 head. is said to
be rapidly decreasing.
1t IS true that Canada has .cSislat-
ed in behalf CT the buffalo and has
thus striven 10 protect them from
man. 1t is possible that few are
killed annually by Indians, but the
number is small. Withil the past
two or three years, however, it has
been frequently reported that there
has been no increase whatever in
this herd, because each spring the
wolves kill off all the calves that
are born. Late information which
we have received from traders from
the north, who live near the range
of the buffalo. points TO the conclu-
sion that there are no animals in the
The gradual extinction Of this 1T
tie herd from whatever cause, is
melancholy thing. AMI one that can
not bat be regretted by every nature
lover. No one feels more earnestly
about it than the president of the
United States, who in letter sent
not long ago to the convention Of the
North American Fish & Game Pro
tective Association spoke of this herd
of bison and urged that every pre-
caution be taken to preserve it. Much
more recently he wrote to Earl Grey,
Canadas governor-general, asking
him what influence, if any, can be
brought to bear in behalf Of this
herd.
If it IS the fact that danger to
the wood buffalos existence arises
solely from the wolves, some method
should be devised for reducing the
numbers of these destructive beasts /
The most obvious way to kill them
is by poison, means which We DO
not know has ever been employed in
the extreme nortt. Wolf hides are
and it 0uld seem that the
Indians and white trappers might
profitably employ time ard effort in
the killing Of wolves. In a heavily
timbered country, such as that occl-
pied by the buffalo, is it difficult to
think of any other efficient means.
Since, however, the neads of gov
ernmentS of the United States and
Canada are deeply interested III this
matter. we may hope tina: the local
on whom the burden OF
destruction must finally fall. will also
take hold of it with energy and de
wise some method of protecting this
and Stream.

COX MAY APPOINT
ROW IN KENTUCKY ovER SENATE
 COMMITTEES.
Democrats Control Body But Republi- can Lieutenant GOvernor Would Exercise Authority Same as
 in Alabama.

Louisville. Ky, Nov. 22-(Special)- Kentucky Democrats are greatly exer- ctsed over the claim of the Republicans that the right to appoint the Senate committees will be vested in Lieutenant Governor Cox when the legislature convenes.
 The ciaIm of the Democrats is that the majority should rule and that they will have the right to elect a president protein of the Senate and that this of- ficial will have authority to appoint the committees. This is answered by the claim that the Lieutenant Cover nor Is the presiding officer of the Senate and as such will appoint the committees
 Ther is no doubt but the question will cause much friction when 1t comes up at the forthcoming session and there Is a strong likelihood of its reaching the courts.
 It Is recalled that practically the same question arose recently In Ala hama among ths Democrats. There Lieutenant Governor Gray claimed the right to preside over the Senate. and to appoint the committees. The claim was resisted by the presiding officer pro tenn but the Lieutenant Governor won, and has since discharged all the duties of the Alabama Senate.
 Several other instances are also cited by the Republicans in contending that their Lieutenant Governor shall pre- side over the Senate deliberations and name its committees.
