The two ,re,, have about the SEINE tastes.

the German emperor leaving Europe; but
1t will be remembered that he has al
ready gone as far as the Mediterranean
and there is no telling what either he or
our President will do.
In British East Africa.
Coming back to Port Florence, the
President had best go down the Uganda
railroad to Nairobi the capital of British
East Africa, and make that his head
quarters during his hunting in that ter
ritory. British East Africa has more big
game than any other part of the CONT
nent; and SO much hunting is done that
it is no trouble to outfit or to know where
to hunt. There are mercantile firms
which make a business Of supplying hunt
ing parties, and there are men who will
take charge OF everything at SO much
per month or at SO much per hunt. The
expenses are considerable. I should think
it would cost the President $40 or $50 per
day for every member Of his party; and
without he has special privileges given
him each member will have. to pay. in
addition, license Of $3.50 for the privi-
lege Of shooting the big game. Such Ii
censes are now bringing from $4,000 to
100000 q year to the government; and
they are looked upon as live source of
revenue. They are paid by the nobility
but 1t may be that there will be an ex-
ception in the case Of President Roose-
welt.

charge against the wind I met one man
in South Africa who had shot a white
rhinoceros. This was In Rhodesia, and
I am not sure whether any such are to
be found in Uganda 1 am told the rhinoc-
eros there is timid and that he will not
charge unless he Is shot at. The ami
mails go alone and are seldom seen IN
parties or droves. They are huge beasts
with two great horns on their noses. There
is big horn just over the nose rising al
most at right angles with the mouth. with
a small horn behind it. The longest
rhinoceros horn on record measures al
most four feet. and some are frequently
secured which are from thirty-six to forty
two inches.
About Lake Victoria.
During the trip across Uganda the
President will probably visit Mount Elgon.
an extinct volcano, about which there IS
excellent hunting. and will then go to
Jinga. where the water OF Victoria
Nyanza flows out. forming the Nile. At
that point the fishing is good and there
is good sport shooting the birds, among
which Is the whale-headed stork. Crossing
from there to Kampala, the capital of
Uganda, the President will go on to En-
tebbe and thence sail over the lake to
Port Florence, where the Uganda railway
ends and whence he can go down into
British East Africa.

there is some talk of the kaiser visiting

there he could march overland to the

If he should not care to go further into

in Portuguese East Africa. From there
two or three days on a good railroad VIII
bring him here to Buluwayo and thence to
the Victoria Falls Of the Zambesi. These
falls are equal to IL not greater In beau
ty than Niagara, and the President should
by all means see them. From Victoria
the train will take him northward across
the Kafue river into Barotseland. when
he will be in a game country which at.
fords excellent sport.
l have met the governor OF that terri
tory since / came here. He is a cele-
brated hunter and has killed many lions
and rhinosceroses. He tells me that Ba-
rotseland has antelope of all kinds, and
also many CRATES, Zebras, buffaloes. hip
popotami. Glands, kudus, lions. cheetahs
and leopards. There are numerous wild
birds and in the Zambesi and the Kafue
there is fairly good fishing.
In northwestern Rhodesia the Presi-
dent may have a chance to hunt native
fashion. The negroes there are exports,
and they kill all sorts Of game. from
wild hogs to rhinoceroses. They hunt
at the close Of the summer, first setting
fire to the high grass and burning over
the whole country. AS the grass sprouts
up In the swampy places the game goes
there to feed. and the natives lay in
wait and shoot it with their bows and
arrows or kill it with spears They also
stretch great nets across the paths or
drives, into which they chase the game,
and when the animals become en-
tangled they rush in and spear them.
These nets are made Of vines and fiber
and are sometimes two miles in length.
It will interest the President to see
how they shoot lions and leopards by
means Of traps. The most common lion
trap Is q moose baited with meat and
SO arranged that when the lion grabs
the meat he Is caught by the moose, and
in jerking away pulls the trigger OF q
gun which hangs down from above. The
gun is SO fixed that when 1t goes of
the beast receives the ball Just back OF
the neck and is killed. In trapping
leopards the gun is set at.an angle OF
forty-five degrees, SO that the animal
lis shot through the brain.

ana Naples, and that he will there take
one of the German East African steam
ers and go down to Mombasa, beginning
his hunting expedition in British East
Africa. This can be easily and COM
fortably done. There are steamers every
week and the trip to Mombasa Will take
less than a month. The fare / should say
would be about $500
A far better trip. however, will be to go
to Egypt and up the Nile into the Sudan.
Alexandria can be reached at cost of
$50 in little over two weeks. and an
other four or five days will put the presl-
Dental party in Ehartum ready to take
a steamer up the Blue Nile to the borders
of Abyssinia. They may even extend
their travels into that country, and If
so the Presidents friend. King Menellk.
will be glad to send native soldiers. hum
tiers and porters to aid in the chase.
For ordinary persons the license to
shoot big game in the Sudan costs $3.50,
but the freedom of the country will prob
ably be awarded to our President. and he
will be allowed to shoot without limit
such birds and animals as are not on the
prohibited list. The laws of the Sudan
provide that no one may capture or kill
giraffes. zebras, ostriches, wild asses,
or rhinoceroses. The holder Of 500 IL
cense can kill two elephants, two Glands.
two kudus, four bufraloes. four hippo
kinds of gazelles and anteiopes. In
Abyssinia there are no restrictions on
shooting. and there are parts of the
Sudan where any number Of hippopota-
mi may be captured or killed. In ad-
dition to big game there are in the upper
Sudan large numbers of birds and also
wild sheep and small antelopes so that
the hunting is practically unlimited.
In case the President goes there, he will
probably charter a special steamer at
Khartum and live upon 1t during the In
tervals of the chase.
Returning to Khartuim the President
can. go via the Red sea to Mombasa. or
he can outfit at Khartum and take g. lit

dents plans. now more than year ago.
while was travelling in the Sudan. They
were being discussed by a German baron
and a British colonel belonging to the
Indian service as we were crossing the
Nubian desert together. The baron and
the colonel were on their way up the
Blue Nile to shoot lions on the border of
Abyssinia and they believed that the
President might find excellent sport there.
While at Khartum I had a talk with the
sirdar or governor general who was also
commander-in-chief of the troops of the
Sudan. and learned that he would be
glad to have our President sample the
big game Of the Anglo-Egyptian possess
sions. When I arrived in British East
Africa a few months later I was told
that the President would surely come
there and I heard the same story in Ger
man East Africa, both at Mwanza on
Lake Victoria and at Oar es Salaam be-
low Zanzibar. The German officials can
assure Mr.. Roosevelt a good bag OF gi-
RATES.. hippopotami and elephants, and
the same is true Of British Central Africa
and northwestern Rhodesa. Indeed the
Presidents coming seems to have been
anticipated for some months and the
officials and sportsmen are awaiting his
advent and to see him change his coat of
arms from the Teddy Bear to the
Teddy Lion Teddy Elephant or

the Red sea will take him between two
and three weeks. and the Uganda journey
Will be thrice as long.
Hunting In Uganda
The latter trip. however. is by far the
better as he will have chance to shoot
big game all the way. At Gondokoro he
will be in a country swarning with hip
popotami and crocodiles. and little far
Their on will strike rhinos. elephants, lions
and all sorts of wild beasts. He should
write in advance to the authorities of
Uganda for licenses and permission to
hunt within the limits Of that protector
ate: and they will undoubtedly send SOL
diers to meet him on the border, while
the Sidar of the Sudan will give him an
escort and all assistance on the upper
White Nile. Leaving the ship at Condo
koro he will have to go on mules or on
foot to Nimuli, a march of only few
days; and there he will get small boats
which will take him to Lake Albert, in
the Uganda protectorate. If he wishes
he can be met at Lake Albert by jinriki-
shas from Entebbe; and a couple of weeks
will give him time for lesurely run
through the protectorate with chance
shots at all sorts Of big game.
He will see chimpanZees and coiobus
monkeys and balloons of all sorts. On
the way are great herds of zebras
wild buffaloes and nearly every known
type of African antelopes. There are
wild asses like those of Nubia and three
horned and five-horned CRATES. Sir Hen
ry Johnston claims that there are okapi
in western Uganda. and l know that lions
and leopards are everywhere to be found.
There are no restrictions as to hunting
lions, and it will be strange if the Presi-
dent and Kermit. who. L understand. is
to go with him. do not kill several of the
Uganda species.
AS to the elephants, they are found all
over the country and a certain number
of them may be shot by each sportsma
when properly licensed. The laws, how
ever. prevent the killing of cow elephants
