after examining many witnesses, that

the ground that this agreement would
lead to the annexation of Canada to this
country, but as to that Mr.. Fielding is
silent. There is, however, one discord-
ant note from the Canadians. At st.
Johns, N. F., Sir Robert Bond has de-
nounced the proposed reciprocity agree
ment between the United States and
Canada and urged that the colony as
sumo a vigorous, aggressive policy
against Americans, and that Newfound-
land should disregard American menaces
and cajoleries.
Last week the National House passed
the measure by vote of 221 to 90, and
as the matter stands now it looks as
though John Bull would not interfere in
the matter, but will let Canada alone;
that Canada will ratify the agreement;
and that it's fate will be decided in the
Senate, where the first gun was fired
February 9th by Senator Beverage, who
lined up on the side of the administra-
ton.

He is Still the Leader of the U. S. Senate.
Senator Hale has many friends here
and they are watching his course during
these the last weeks of his long congress
sional and senatorial career with great
interest and pride. Speaking of him a
Republican of wide influence said this
week: ''He may not be leading exactly
the way should like to have him, but he
is leading. He is still not only the lead
er of the Senate, but one of the great
dominating personalities of the country,
and while as matter of course his lead
ership Of the Senate will last but very
few days longer, | can see no reason why
he will not remain one of the great lead
ers of his party. He represents great
many things Col. Roosevelt does not
stand for, but it may be that he is all the
better leader because of that. Anyway
he is man to be proud of, and by and by
Maine will give him full credit for his
years of labor in behalf of the State and
its people. He will not pass out of pub
lie attention when he leaves Washington,
but will out of office be still power in
the land. He ought to write his recol-
lections of men and things. Blaine spoke
freely but Hale could afford to talk with
entire freedom and with absolute fear

STORM STAYS BIRDS.

Millions May Perish in Path of Blizzard.
Audubon Rescue Work Begun. Children
to Save Feathered Life.
NEW YORK, February 20. Murderous
weather conditions are now driving to
death huge flocks of the song and game
birds of the country, according to re-
ports that have been received at the
headquarters of the National Associa-
ton of Audubon Societies in this city.
Following the sweep of the recent biz
card from coast to coast, great tracts of
trees and land are known to be storm
locked against the feathered life that
must seek shelter and food from the
natural sources that are now held in the
icy grip of winter. Unless emergency
measures are speedily taken to succor
these birds, that protect the crops from
pest and furnish the game supply of the
nation, ornithologists declare that seri-
GUS loss to the wild resources of America
will result. Careful count of the birds
that persisted in similar storm six wears
ago over an area of southern Minnesota
and northern Idaho has shown that in
one night alone some 800, 900 were frozen
or starved to death. Many millions more
are this year doomed to death in the
freezing spell that has succeeded the
SHOWS Of this month, the Audubon work
ers assert.
Calling upon the children of the land
to save the storm eleaguered birds, the
Audubon organization has set on foot
sweeping relief campaign in which the
boys and girls Of every community are
invited to join. Special pamphlets, CIV
ing minute instructions for the feeding
of birds under every condition of winter
weather have been prepared and are
being sent to volunteer bird-saving brig
AIDES of youngsters in every section of
the country. Through its auxiliary Or
CARNATIONS in a score Of storm bound
States the National Association of Audu-
bon Societies is urging immediate local
campaigns to preserve til, dying bird
life of each neighborood.
Sportsmen who know the haunts and
habits Of the native birds are heading
bands of boys, who are already setting
out through the woods and fields of their
home regions, equipped with shovels,
picks, cord, wire and big bags of grain,
suet and fat meat. At natural feeding
grounds the snow is cleared from the
