THREATENED SPLIT IN THE
UNIONIST PARTY.

The conviction gathers strength that
the split in the Unionist party of Great
Britain, indicated some time ago, will
really come, and interesting results are
expected from the dinner which is to be
given on Wednesday evening to Lord
Halsbury, who is looked upon as the ex.
ponent of resistance to surrender at all
costs among the Unionist and Con-
servative forces. 1t is pointed out that
it will not be necessary for the Union
lists in the upper house, who are willing
TO fight the veto bill to the last ditch,
to secure a majority. Since no Union
ist will vote with the Liberals, Q small

DEATH BATTLE WITH A DEER
Three Men Have Thrilling Strug-

John Buckley, of Weaverly aven-

Ackerly, all of Patchogue, Long
Island. engaged in a stirring bat
tie in that place yesterday with a
pnck deer, which. after giving the
men hard struggle and severely
ln1urtng one of them, was stabbed
to death. The battle occurred on
the estate of Mrs. Kate L. Gilbert,
wealthy Manhattan window.
Mrs Gilbert recently had a no
tice printed in a Patchogue news
paper that a fine buck deer on her
property would be given to anyone
who would take away the animal.
The deer was known at Patchogue
as "ferocious." Buckley decided to
devote his holiday to the capture
of the animal, believing that he
could sell the 1eer at a good price.
He took a bottle of chloroform,
cotton he intended to saturate
with the anesthetic, and a stout
burlap bag in which he intended to
place the cotton and throw it over
the deer's head
Buckley entered Mrs. Gilbert's
estate and found the buck. The
animal Immediately charged him,
and with his antlers knocked out of
his hands the chloroform bottle.

to the ground and the deer began
TO gore him. He clung to the ant

Capt. Wood, commander of Frank
Guttridge's yacht the Ethel, and
Ackerly were passing in the road
on their way home from the South
Bay Yacht Club. They went to
Buckley's assistance. Wood grasped
the bucks antlers, and Buckley.

Mr.. Ackerly, who once was
a football player, made a
Tying leap and tackled the bucks
hind legs, hanging on as the en-
ragged animal plunged. Wood
clinging to the antlers was dash
ed about. A vicious jerk of the
deer's head caused him to loose

pursuit, with Ackerly still clinging
to one of his legs.
AS the deer was about to strike

PoReIEs REAPPEAR.

Porgies are again found off the
Maine coast. The first fare landed
in Portland in many years was
brought in recently. There were only
twenty-four barrels, but the fact that
they were porgies was of enough sig
nificance in itself. These fish have
been SO rare in Maine waters that no
body seemed to know just when the
last ones were brought in.
Years ago was about the only re-
ply the older fish dealers could give.
There was time when the porgies
were so plentiful that hundreds Of
barrels could be taken in few hours.
Then they dropped off and the bust
ness of extracting porgie's oil fell
off to almost nothing in these parts.

eral along the whole New England
coast. Up off Gloucester the fish are
so plentiful that there is a fleet Of

Now it is the Moslem women of
Egypt who are taking part in the
women movement, having asked of
the Moslem congress the right to at
tend prayers and sermons in the
mosques, privilege already granted
to the women of Constantinople.
They also ask that the primary edu-

gatory; that young girls be admitted
TO schools of medicine; to use means
to prevent polygamy and the abuse
of divorce and to teach Mohamme-
dan girls sewing, housekeeping and
hygiene.
