Auckland, N. o., Aug. 3l.-News OF
the capture by the British expedition
sent from here to seize German Samoa

word was received here that he had
notified United States Senators Walsh

at Vancouver barracks are prepared to
move if their services were necessary.
The 5000 miners in Butte are said to
be boasting that they will clean up the

released this morning from the peniten-

outlaws, but as he and his partner,
Harry Wright, were the only two con-
victs released just prior to the outbreak
of Tracy and Merrill, Monte was held
responsible for the crime and was given

outraged public demanded d victim. -
Harry Wright, who was arrested and
tried with Monte after the break, Sc.

of horse-stealing and served a year q
sentence on this charge. At the time
Wright was arrested on the charge OF

The Hague, Aug. 3l.-So hopelessly

accounts received here today from Ber-

Just two things did, indeed suggest

In the first place, there was no ques-

the French frontier were being rushed
eastward. Considering the kaiser's evi-
dent haste to reach Paris, it could not
possibly be imagined that he would
weaken his western army if the eastern
situation were anything but desperately

The protection of breeding ewes

harm. The closed-wool breed, as the
merinos, will be harmed much less,
as the water cannot readily enter the
wool that they carry. The shelter
provided up to the Landing season
may be of the simplest kind, providing
it will protect from storms and rains.
The. aim should be to give the
breeding ewes large liberty in winter
If the ground is bare, or even partial

excursions to the fields in search OF

much good. They should be allowed
