large refusing to recognize either the Polish Gar
or the Demetrian pretenders. Early in 1912 the
patriot army took Kostroma and advanced to
Yavoslarl, where by means of skillful negotia-
tons Pozharsh withheld the Swedes, who were
overrunning the northwest, from occupying
territory. Meanwhile che Cossack hordes were
wasting to the southwark, and the small Polish
army at Moscow was practically besieged in the
Kremlin. These brigands simply fought for

Poles and actually tried to murder PozharsH in
July.
On August Is Pozharski, intending to coerce
the Cossacks arrived outside Moscow. and three
days later Chodkiewicz, the Polish general, came
up from the west. Fighting went on intermit-
tenty until the middle of October The Cossack
host simply looked on, but Chodwiewicz could
not break through Pozharskfs blockade OF the
Kremlin, neither could Pozharsh drive away

Commodore Salisbury said yesterday
afternoon. I'VE brought home with us
175 rare specimens. These will be

I've found two varieties that are
found nowhere else. One is the Lay

quail and has small wings, but they do
it little good, for it cannot fly. We
started home with eighty living speci-
mems of the rail, but the return trip
was so cold that all except five died
The survivors were left at the Golden
Gate park in San Francisco. The
other bird peculiar to the island is
the Laysan teal, fowl smaller than
the mallard duck, but resembling 1t in
general appearance. Incidentally, we

ONE RECOGNIZED AS MAN WHO
LEFT TITANIC AS
WOMAN.

LONDON. Sept. 29.-The passengers
on the Cunard liner Lusitania, which
left New York early last Tuesday
morning, who arrived in London to-
night, are talking of a sensational In
cident which occurred In the smoking
room of the ship last Sunday night.
Three card sharps boarded the Lusi-
tania at New York. They inveigled
the son OF a noted New York mer-
chant, who Is connected with ship
building. into the game of bridge for
high stakes and succeeded IN winning
$500 from him by stacking the cards.
The young man had only $3.50 in cash
and promised to pa~ the difference
between $3.50 in cash. which he had
with him, and the $500, which he
had lost before they landed. Suisse
quently the young man was informed
that the men were card sharps, and
refused to pa ythe $3.50 difference. On
Sunday evening while the young New
Yorker was sitting in the smoking
room one of thu crooks upbraided him
as a welsher, and then struck him a
savage blow in the face. Several
stewards rushed FORWARD ana protected
the young man from further attack.
The crooks were then ordered to keep
to their cabin until the vessel arrived
at Fishguard. 1t was expected the
young man would prosecute the
sharpers when the vessel arrived but
he refused. and they were permitted
to land.
One OF the card sharps has been
recognized as a man who escaped from
the Titanic when that vessel foun-
dered, by impersonating a woman.

discriminatory rates charged by rail-

approximately 200 miles the same
rate was charged as TO Norfolk, a
distance of about 400 miles.
Others Affected.
II was hoped by number OF ship
