him in mortal fray will deny.
Sir Robert Harvey, Bart, has travel
ed three times from his vast English
country seat at Langley Park, Slough,
to hunt African big game and relates
particularly sensational adventures
with lions and Cape buffaloes, the lat
ter considered by him as among the
most dangerous combatants he has
yer confronted.

"he will probably continue on madly
in the direction he is headed without
turning to attack you again, whereas
the African buffalo will actually hunt
you, and hunt you tirelessfy and most
persistently."
Sir Robert encountered the largest
buffalo he has ever killed in a grassy
country, and his first shot (at thirty
yards broke It's ribs. The brute i'm
mediately charged and received the
contents of another barrel. After this
the buffalo, mad with pain, chased
Sir Robert around andparound, getting
so close at last that the baronet gave
himself up for lost and instinctively
clutched at the beasts huge horns.
He also smote his enemy on the
nose with the butt end of his rifle.

In the meantime the buffalo had
turned it's attention to Sir Roberts
gun bearer, whom it gored horribly
through the stomach and then tram
pied savagely underfoot. The unfor-
tunate mar was quite dead when his
master returned to finish off the dying
animal, which already had enough
lead in it to settle two or three or
binary buffaloes.
While these buffaloes are usual,
found in reedy swamps by huntsmen,
it is not infrequently that they are
met in forests. They habitually travel
in herds Of from so to 200 or 800,

Visits were made to a number of West End factories. especially the plant of the Crane Co.

The Uniform Classification Commit tee of the Interstate Commerce Com
 mission arrived here. last night. for the purpose of meeting a committee Of the Bridgeport Manufacturers As Sociation to discuss the shipping con- ditions and the rates from this city in conjunction with the gigantic scheme of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion to establish a uniform freight classification for the entire country.
 At present there are three classifica- ton districts. one in the East. one in the South, and one in the West. The committee is composed of nine mem bers each classification district being represented by three members. The eastern manufacturers have become alarmed because of the complexion of the committed They feared that in the adjustment Into one big class.flca- ton the members from the South and West might show so much zeal in looking out for their various districts that they might vote together to the advantage of the manufacturers of the west and south Such a combination might take thousands of dollars out of the pockets of eastern manufacturers.
 Connecticut manufacturers hit upoa a plan of having the committee come into the state and visit the factories. It Is said that members of the com mittee. before coming here were il- clined to look upon Waterbury as only a hpeck of a town But after a visit there yesterday they were amazed to learn of the great quantity of manu- fnctured goods shipped out of that place One Waterbury concern was able to show where 1t could save sio,- 900 a year if there was a uniform classification in the rates and they were given the same rate per mile for their class of goods in all three dis- trfcts. passing the price upon the rate they now pay in one district.
 Bridgeport is the only city to which the committee came upon the solicita- ton of an association of manufactur- CTS Tn other Eastern cities they came upon the solicitation of individual manufacturers They arrived here last night In President Mellen's special car and were quartered in the Stratfield.

EXECUTION
 ORDERED BY
 GOVERNMENT American Consul at Man agua Says It Was Unwar-
 ranted Savagery Zelaya Took Action Despite the Protest from Army
 Chief
(speclal from United Press.l ,

Washington, Nov. 20-Confirmation of the reported execution of the two Americans. Cannon and Oracle, by the President of Nicaragua, was received by this government today in dispatch from the American consul at Mana qua The Nicaraguan government or dered the execution and gives as a req son for it the alleged accusation Of the Americans to the effect that they were laying mines in the river. The consul declares the execution was. 'unwar- ranted savagery" and that Zeiaya took the action despite the protest of the commander in chief of his army, his major general.
 A vivid picture of conditions prevail ing in Nicaragua under President Zel- ava is portrayed in a letter received in Washington from Adolph Vfvas. a na- tive of that country. but now residing In New Orleans. and which has been turned over toa the State Department
 "One revolution after another has broken out since Zelaya has been in Iower," says the writer. Under the monstrous ordeal of his rule the nation financially Is a total wreck. Private homes have been atrociously attacked and all kinds of misery brought down upon 10000 Nicaraguans. The resi- dents, among them some of the wealth. lest in the provinces were chained and put in iail.
 That there is no law, free press, no Congress, mol court in Nicaragua, it would be ridiculous to mention the af- fairs. Nothing but Zelaya.s vice will prevail while he Is in power. Zelaya insulted grossly William Lawrence Merry. of the United States. tamper- ing with his cablegrams to this coun- try, for which he should deserve severe punishment Merry left Nicaragua full of shame and indignation.
 Chester Donaldson, the American consul at MaEagua, was forced to leave his post as was Carter Coolidge, the next consul to Nicaragua.
 The last consul at Managua, Jose De Olivares, left that place about two months ago after being attacked by zelaya's ninions and by zelaya's pa pers.

THE TWO SIDES OF HISTORY.
some Pertinent Observations Made by Writer Evidently Not Fond of
 Subject.

History is a running account of how King Somebody-or-other either did or did not get to certain place. which nobody ever heard of. before King Somebody yelse got there. from which We are usually supposed to conclude that il would have made quite a differ ence whether he did not not.
 Like nearly everything else. history has two sides. The history of the Garden of Eden depends upon wheth- CT it is related by man or wom- all. The history of the American rev olution reads quite different in Eng fish books from the way it reads in our own books The history Of the civil war depends upon which side of fhe Mason and Dixon line you happen to be sitting when you write it.
 History is a bore. not only because you are unacquainted with the people who figure in it. but because it repeats itself-Life
