Ex-President Kills 1Ippos.

SsigOsoi Camp; BY horse messenger to
Nsivashs, British East Africa, July q.
Col. Roosevelt has had many narrow
calls since he began hunting 10
Africa, but the experience he went
through yesterday was one so full OF
thrilling incidents that his life was con-
SANITY in danger. That he Is alive to-
day Is dus to his GOODNESS and wonderful
Workmanship.
Yesterday morning, at 9 o'clock, Col.
Roosevelt, accompanied only by two
negro porters to row his small boat,
started out on Lake Nsivashs 10 seek
calf hippopoiamus, which he is lacking
for his collection for the Smithsou ian In
stitution.
The ex-president, In his skif, had
reached an isolated part Of the lake, far
away from his camp, when a school of
twelve hippOs surrounded his craft,
threatening with every movement to up
set 1t and spill the ex-pnsideut snd
his rowers into the lake, where they
woald have not met instant death, for
the hippos we're attacking the small
boat with savage frenzy. Several literally
hurled themselves against the sides of
the little row boat, while two or three
dived deep into the waters of the lake
and came up under the boat, striking it
With their backs In an attempt to over
turn 1t, and throw its occupants into the
water.
The native boalmen we're Ia g terrible
panic, and their own actioIts, added to
the impact of the bodies Of tlse attacking
hippos, threatened at every moment TO
overture the small boat. Shouting to
his rowers to cit still, a warning which
they we're too frightened to heed, Col,
Roosevelt seized his he svy express rife
aud selected a magDj icent COW hippo
which seemed to be tt leader Of the at
lacking school. Thi, hippo he killed
with one shot aud wi ID the next shot be
killed a magni6cer t bull hippo, the
finest killed 10 this vicinity in years.
Firing rapidly, and with unerring
aim, Dol. RoosevG 1t killed the monster
animals, and the others took fright and
fed.
IL vas some time, however, before
Col. Roosevelt could calm down his
frightened roWers sufficiently to make
them row his boat alongside the dead
animals, wh6.h we're floating in the
water.
At o'clfck this morning, however,

Investigating sutton's Death.

Annapolis, Nd, July 2l-That
Lieut.. Jsmes N. Sutton, the circutn-
stances of whose death are now being in
vesligated By q naval court of Inquiry
at the Naval Academy, threatened to
commit suicide, Was one of the most i'm
portsnt features brought out at the
hearing today. Lieut.. Bevau, who be-
gan his testimony yesterday, sWore that
sutton he'd told him some time previous
to the mysterious tragedy that life had
no attraction for him and that some day
be would shoot himself.
Bevsn furthermore expressed himself
as positive that the shit which killed
Sutton on the night Of October IL, 1907,
was fred from revolver in Sutton's own
hand, and that nc one else was In con-
tact with the weapon at the time.
Led through a mszs of contradictions
10 his testimony, however, Lieutenant
Bevsn, whose testimony had most to do
with the verdict Of the former board that
Sutton committed suicide, today admit
ted that some of his statements we're not
true and got himself into such difficulty
that il may discount his entire story.

dents Of the Senate and Chamber, and

being prominently mentioned today as
the man most likely 10 be called on to
head the new ministry.
Despite the populsr clamor in favor OF
NJ. Delcasse, Clemenceau's successful
enemy, it is scarcely considered likely
he will be- named to head the new cabi-
net, owing to Gsrmsry's strong opp0si-
ton to him, and the great desire OF the
French government, ct this time, to
make no move likely to displesse the
kaiser.
1t is the general belief today that NJ.

NJ. Picard, minister OF marine will be
called upon TO accept their old port

had preceded him on The witness stand
we're unable to supply.
His evidence, if uncontfsdicted,
proves conclusively that Sutton himself

His story ss to the exact manner in

that no change 10 the duties on wool
