COLONEL RO0SEVELT'S
BIG HUNT is OVER
The Expedition Has Now Sailed
For KhartOum.
500 SPECIMENS HAVE BEEN SECURED.

Shooting OF The Giant Glands Con-
sidered The Greatest Achievement
OF The Excursion--A General SUM
ming Up OF The Fruits OF The
ExpeditiOn-NIany Thousands OF
Birds-The Colonel Will Now Be
gin His Literary Work.
Gondokoro, Soudan, on the Upper
Nile Especially Colonel Roosevelt
and others of his immediate party
sailed Monday on the steamer Dai
for Khartoum, where they expect to
arrive on March 10. With their de-
parture the African scientific expe-
dition under the auspices of the
Smithsonian Institute Of Washing
ton and led by the former president
of the United States was, for all
practical purposes, brought to a
close. Colonel Roosevelt considers
that the killing Of the giant Glands
in his recent excursion along the up
per reaches Of the Nile was a fitting
ending of a marvellously successful
trip. The results generally from the
standpoint of the hunter and the
scientist have exceeded all expecta-
Ftions
Colonel Roosevelt and his son Ker-
nit have killed some 500 specimens
of large mammals. The bag includes
the following:
Seventeen lions. IL elephants. 10.
buffalOes. 10 black rhinoceroses, 9
white rhinoceroses, 9 hippopottami,
8 giraffes, 8 leopards. chetahs, 8
giant Glands, 8 sables. i sitatunga
and 2 bongos.
All these were killed in the inter-
est of science and the specimens will
be disposed of accordingly, the great
er number going to the Smithsonian
Institute. Mr.. Roosevelt will retain
not more than six trophies for him
self.
From the point of Importance the
most highly priced game may be ra-
ted as follows:
First, the giant Glands, the first
complete specimens of which fam
lily are now being taken from the
country; second, the white rhino-
ceroses; third. the bongos. the first
to be stalked and killed by white
man, and, fourth, the sitatunga, a
species of antelope.
The naturalists secured a remark
able collection, comprising many
thousands of birds and other mann
mails. The results in this line have
been most gratifying, and science
will be enriched by several new spe-
cies and an enormous series of the
smaller mammals of Africa. The
game taken and the collections made
constitute a worlds record for a
similar period of hunting and scien-
tific research in Africa, and the Amer
lean museums will receive the great
est collections of African fauna in
existence. All agree that too much
praise cannot be accorded to r. ].
Cuninghame, the Englishman whose
management of the expedition was
as nearly perfect as could be conceiv-
ed.
Colonel Roosevelt will now devote,
his time to writing, including the
preparation of the addresses which
he is to deliver in Europe. He will.
do no more hunting unless during
the trip down the Nile chance throws
in his way an opportunity to secure
some rare specimens.

ALAsKA's HIDDEN WEALTH

Washington. D. C..-( Especially ~
A graphic picture oaAlaska with her
millians in gold lying hidden beneath
hundreds of feet of frozen earth was
drawn by Delegate James Wicker
sham in a statement before the
House Committee on Territories in
support of bill for the rivision OF
the Alaskan mining laws. He told
of the luck of the pioneer prospector
and of his pathetic failures; the
crudeness and the inadequacy of the
mining laws in that territory and OF
the frequent resort to the rifle and
pistol. even the occasional summary
punishment of violaters by the
rougher code of the hangman's s
moose.

Darjiling. British India Especially
The circumstances surrounding the
flight from Lhasa of the now de-
posed Dalai Lama. the nominal head
Of the Tibetan government, are as
follows:
The Dalai Lama, following his
wide wanderings, arrived at Lhasa
In December with authority from
Peking to take over the government
from the provisional governors who
were appointed following the inva-
sion of the Holy City in 1904 by
Col. Sir Francis Edward Younghus-
band at the head OF British coli
umn when Great Britain secured
from Tibet certain concessions in the
matter of trade and in that of the
foreign returns Of the country. The
Dalai Lama was installed at the PAL
ace and monastery of Potala amid
popular demonstrations. The ruler,
who was again given civil power
along with his Office at the head Of
the Lamaist hierarchy, pardoned all
the Tibetans who had given aid to
Colonel Younghusband and all went
well for the first month.
The the Dalai Lama protested
to the Chinese Amban in charge Of
the military affairs, because of the
excesses of the Chinese troops on
the SZe-Chuen frontier, where they
were sacking the monasteries and
killing the monks. This protest
served to stir up the whole question
of the status of Tibet. The Amban
declared that it was Chinese prov
ince and said that he would deal
with the rebels on the frontier as
it pleased him to do. Other ques-
tions of authority arose, and finally
the Amban ordered into Lhasa,
$500 Chinese troops, who were en-
camped at the outskirts of the capi-
tai
A few companies composed of the
Dalai Lama's followers were hastily
enrolled under the name of golden
soldiers" They opposed the Chi
nese troops, but, being indifferently
armed, were shot down with much
hloodshed. Meantime the Dalai
Lama with three of his ministers
and so retainers fed through gate
at the rear of the palace enclosure
aud were fired upon as they escaped
the city.
The Dalai Lama does not intend
to appeal to the Indian government,
his motive in coming to India in
stead of proceeding to Western
Tibet, where he would pe perfectly
safe, being because this way offers
the shortest route to Peking, where
he can personally lay his grievances
before the Chinese throne. The til
betans generally resent the treat
ment of the Dalai Lama. and as they
have other grudges against the Chi
nese. the Chinese officials at isolated
posts are in great danger of being
massacred.

displacement at cost of approxi-
mately $1S,000,000, and the making
of the United States the leading nav
al power of the world are planned by
Secretary of the Navy Meyer.
This was what Secretary Meyer is
said to have told the members Of
:he House Naval Committee was his
ultimate plan and what he would ask
Congress to authorize next year.
The members of the committee stat
ID that the Secretary's radical plans
.or naval advancement were favor
tbly received by the committee.
At the session of the committed
even the stenographer was barred,
and the Secretary discussed freely
With the members his plans for the
Navy. He said that it was his pur-
pose that the United States should
aot follow in the wake of any other
nation in naval advancement, but
.hat in essential particulars it should
AXE the lead The Secretary did not
refer in this instance particularly to
