Buffalo Jones' Lecture.

Declaring the suffragette the only wild
animal" In existence that aroused his
temerityt Buffalo Jones" proceeded at
the Beiasco Theater last evening to de-
throne the lion from his rang as king
OF beasts and to show how even that
ferocious beast, together with the fieetest
footed animals of wild Africa, may be
used for sport and captured, II necessary,
without killing them and without injul y
to the captor. With two American cow
boys from Arizona, Mr.. Jones, armed only
with hundreds Of feet of lariats, plunged
into the jungles and plains of Africa
after the Roosevelt expedition, lassoing
wild animals here and there. bringing to
ground the zebra for a cowboy ride,
wfnging the fleet hartebeeste in his flight
with noosed rope and altogether giving
one OF the rarest exhibitions Of moving
pictures ever shown in Washington. Only
a lioness was retained in captivity, and
that was presented to the Bronx zoo. The
other animals were caught, played with
and then set free, apparently as much
amazed at their novel experience as the
natives, who never dreamed such thing
possible. The African part of the ex-
hibit was preceded with views Of similar
experiences with wild animals in the far
west. It was as delightful as 1t was
novel and astonishing. The exhibition is
calculated to prove a strong argument
for Buffalo Jones, who does not believe
In killing animals just because they are
wild. Their ferociousness, too. was re-
duced to minimum by his exhibition.
which included the punching of noun
tain lion out Of tree with a forked
stick.

MANUEL MIGHT HAVE HELD
THRONE, SAYS LECTURER
James r. J.. Archibald Blames
Portuguese King for Not Staying
at Head Of Troops.

king Manuel might still have been
seated securely on the throne Of Portugal
II he had gone down In the streets among
his regiments OF faithful soldiers when
the revolutionists began their attack or
Lisbon last summer. instead Of running
away" said James r. ]. Archibald dur
ing his illustrated lecture on the Portu-
guese revolution. delivered at the Play
house last night. Mr.. Archibald, who
has been a correspondent in the field dur
ing many wars. hurried to Lisbon from
Paris last summer. arriving there the
day after the fighting and in time to
get the details Of the brief strife at first
hand.
Mr.. Archibald showed many photo
graphs. made by himself, Of the buildings
in Lisbon ruined by the shells from the
warships in the bay.
1.-THE bombardment was continued for
sixteen hours" said Mr.. Archibald, land
an objective point was the palace Of the
king. Just one shell struck the palace
in all that time"
The Albanian revolt in the Balkans
against the Turks was another topic dis
cussed by Mr.. Archibald. He spent sew
eral months in the Balkans last summer
before going to Portugal. The Turkish
army is one OF the best equipped forces
In the world, according to Mr. Archi-
bald. He compared the manner in which
an army had been modified by the Turks
in the Balkans when the revolt broke
out to the movement Of 10000 American
troops to the Mexican border, saying
that the Turks had accomplished their
task with much less fuss and more
promptly than had the Americans.
Mr.. Archibald was in the field with the
Turkish army for many weeks and saw
much of the fighting in the Balkans. He
described 1t as guerrilla warfare. similar
to that conducted by the Beers in South
Africa against the English. He predicted
that the Albanians would continue to give
the Turks much trouble before they were
subdued.
