fifty barrels and many boxes for it's pack

mammals. nearly all Of which were oh
tanned by Col. Roosevelt or his son Ker.

these larger specimens were the skins
of two bongos, for they are the frs,

OF Antelope Species.
The bongo. it may be added, is a large
antelope. and although caught by the ma

where stalking is almost impossible. The
two specimens were obtained by Kermi,

three splendid skins, one each Of a bull
COW and a calf. This interesting ante.

horns. To the indefatigable energy OF
Kermit Roosevelt is due the addition OF
these three specimens to science. There

Value to Science.

Neither expense nor energy has been
spared by the members of the Smith
sonian African expedition in bringing to-
gether this important collection. and its
greatest value to science lies. perhaps.
in the fact that an unbroken series OF
species, such as never has been gathered
in the past from this region. will be
available for students TO visit and study
in the National Museum.
The shipment also included nearly 1000
skins of smaller mammals. such as the
cony and the various rodents, most Of
which were collected by ]. Alden Loring.

IN the celebration of the great work
which is to be completed in 1915, Is true
beyond doubt, said Senator Crawford.

OF Interest to Europe.

Most of these matters are of concern
purely to the two principals, but the de-
velopments in the negotiations relative to
the tariff are awaited with the greatest
interest bynearIy all of the European
powers. which may be depended upon to
make instant demand for any concessions
of special value that may be made by
the United States to Canada, or vice
versa.
AS the extension of the concessions to
all nations would result in making them
practically valueless to the two countries
involved in the negotiations it begins to
appear that the President and Sir Wiifrid
Laurier will be obliged to devise some
strong arguments upon which to base a
refusal of the concessions to third par
ties

Present Agreements Terminable.

The task will be made the more difficult
from the reason that the German and
French tariff arrangements contain pro-
visions that they shall be terminable
within periods of three months and that
they are based upon the undertaking
that no other country shall be accorded
tariff rates lower than those set out in
the agreements. Just how a reciprocity
treaty can be framed with Canada that
will avoid the objection that it does give
Canada preferences is the problem that
the tariff expert board will soon have to
face.

Horrible consequences.


Our collision with the telegraph lines
and the factory roof had the most hor-
rible consequences. Delbrueck sustained
a broken leg and a severe injury Of the
head. Benduhn had an arm and leg frac-
tured. Helm received bad Commissions of
the head. / was knocked senSeless. but
recovered in q moment to find that l had
a crushed knee and chest. The network
around the envelope was torn in such
"a manner that we feared every second
the gas bag would slip out and we would
crash down to the earth from a height
of 5000 feet. to which We had assembled
like flash.
"Delbrueck, in spite of his awful con-
dition. vainly endeavored to open the
valve, which had become entangled. We
knew. not what to do, but merely awaited
our fate"
Helm died soon after being taken'on the
tug, and Delbrueck's body was washed
ashore last evening.

REPLY TO CONGRESS
Trade Bodies to Discuss
Financing of Big Exposition.
CAPITAL HAS GOOD CHANCE
Decision Depends Largely on How
Liberal Washington Is in
Its Support.
CAPITAL HAS GOOD CHANCE

The directors of the Washington Board
of Trade at their meeting at O'Clock
this afternoon are expected to take up the
discussion of plans for holding the cele-
bration of the Panama canal opening in
1878 in Washington 1t is announced that
the directors of the Washington Chamber
their meeting tomorrow afternoon. A
committee of the Commercial Club has
been working for some time on plans for
such a celebration in the National Cap
ital.
Out of these various meetings OF the
trade organizations of the city is ex-
pected to come tangible response to the
query of members of Congress, What
are the citizens Of Washington willing
to do to aid in celebrating the opening
of the great canal If Congress selects
Washington as the site for the big cele-
bration?''
49, Must Have Liberal Support.
That much will depend upon what the
citizens are willing to do in the event
the celebration is held here is becoming
more and more evident from the express
stons of opinion on the matter by men,
beers of Congress. A large number of the
.naembers are favorable to holding the
celebration and attendant exposition in
Washington, but they are opposed to
having the government spend a great
sum of money for the celebration unless
the citizens OF the city in which the ex-
position Is held also guarantee an ade-
quate sum for financing the exposition.
The members of Congress and the bust
ness men of Washington agree that an
exposition should pay we'll in the National
Capital, and that the government and
the private citizens who put their money
into.suc an enterprise should not only
get it back, but should make a profit.
The fact that New Orleans and San
Diego and other cities on the gulf and
Pacific coasts stand ready to guarantee
large sums of money, make it all the
more imperative that the citizens of
Washington should make generous offers
of support.

The selection heretofore made is
entirely set aside by the decision and
the whole question Is presented for

While il is true that defects in the

Of IFS proposal render the election
nun and void. il still remains true
that Oklahoma city is the cnoice or
the people for the capital OF the state
ard the overwhelming majority for
Oklahoma CITY will doubtless be con
strued by the Legislature as man
date from The people to locate the
capital at Oklahoma City.
1t is equally true that the election
can not be construed as mandate
from the people 10 locate the capital
on any particular site as the people
lid not vote for the site which was
subsequently selected bur merely for
