HIPPO IS KILLED
BY Mr.. ROOSEVELT

NaivaSha. Sunday, July 1S.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt and his party had not
been expected TO reach Saigai-Sai be-
fore July 20, but having more success
than they anticipated In the Sotik and
Guaso Nyiro country. they decided to
come to the lake and try for hippo
with Captain Attenborough, r. ~, re.
tired owner of the Saieai,Sai farm.
The party made long marches over
practically waterless country and
once when they reached a water hole
they found II was dry. The party had
10 go into camp without water. 1t was
found here also that the food supplies
had almost given out, and Europeans
and natives alike had TO go on half
rations.
The party reached the farm July II
but found Commander Attenborough
had gone over to Uaivasha for sup.
plies. Mt Roosevelt. however. was
not disturbed by this and the scien-
lists were soon busy with their guns
collecting birds and mammals.
On the fourteenth the correspondent
rode twenty-five miles on bicycle to
the camp Mr.. Roosevelt and Kermit
were out In launch, hippo shooting
with Commander Attenborough. his
brother and Mr.. Cunninghame
The following day Mr.. Roosevelt.
Germit. the Attenboroughs and Mr.
Cunninghame went out in the launch
after hippos. Mr.. Roosevelt killed
a large hippo, shooting It from a
frail row boat at the momont the
beast was charging.
The scientists have bagged some
fine mammals. monkeys and birds. and
Kermit Roosevelt also has secured his
hippo.
Mr.. Tarlton rode into Naivasha by
few nights later and was
followed some miles by five lions, The
route around the lake Is infested With
lions and there IS every chance of the
party having some sport when they
come In.
Mr.. Tarlton has gone down to Ma
irobi to arrange fer the expeditions
Safari" out to Kenia and Nyori The
party will leave Nairobl August s and
expects TO be away six weeks.

DISPUTE OVER A
PACIFIC ISLAND

Washington, Aug. POSSIBILITY Of
final decision as to the ownership
of Clipperton island In the Pacific
ocean has aroused considerable inter
est here In view of the expected COM
pletion of the Panama canal by 1915.
The island is in dispute between
France and Mexico. Italy, 1t was an
nounced today. has Indicated a willing
ness to act as arbitrator. Should the
decision be favorable to France it
would mean another link in the line
of that governments position around
the world. The island would afford an
intermediary stopping place for coal
ing on the bank between the Pacific
coast ports OF the United States and
the Hahito Islands.
Clipperton Island lies 670 miles
southeast of the harbor OF Acapulco.
Mexico. Apparently 1t has not great
natural advantages for a coaling sta
ton or a naval base, but such facili-
ties as are there might be developed.
France claims the island not only
on the ground that 1t was discovered
by French captain two centuries ago
and also because formal possession of
it was taken by a French naval officer
sent out for the purpose in 1858. Mex
leo has exercised some authority over
the phosphate industry and at one
time ousted an American company
from the island, although II does not
appear on Just what ground her con-
tentions rest.

DOUBT EXISTS
AS TO LEGALITY
Senator Knox to Become Sec
rotary of State in Spite of
the Constitution.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Se3ator Knox is
declared by the senate committee on ju-
dietary to be eligible for appointment
TO the office of secretary Of state pro-
viding the salary Of the secretary of state
is reduced from S12,0eo to $500 q year.
which was the salary prior TO the action
of congress III raising il during Senator
Knox's present term of office
The committee on judiciary today con-
sidered the bill introduced yesterday by
Senator Hale from the point of view
fuge and a. technical violation Of the
constitutional provision intended to pre-
vent the creation Of lucrative positions
for members of congress. Finally 1t was
decided that the main proposition of the
Hale bin, which was 10 repeal the in
far as It referred to the secretary OF
state, was sound. The phraseology. how
ever, met with criticism and it was de-
cided to draft new measure.
The new bill, in accordance with the
views of the committee, used the word
''emoluments'' instead of salary in or
der to be in harmony win the language
of the constitution
1t developed during the session that the
committee was not unanimous in regard
to the question whether il would be pos
sible to repeal the salary increase pro-
vision so as to make Senator Knox eli
gible for the office. Senators kittTedge
and Overman seemed to be in some doubt
as to the prOpriety of taking this ac-
ton. but they will not make a minority
report, and it is said they Will not on
pose the passage of the bill when it comes
up on the floor Of the senate.
The substitute for the Hale bill was
introduced in the senate late in the day
by Chairman Clark Of the committee on
judiciary.
