NEW YORK. June 24 Fully 6000 per
sons who visited the Vailsburg bicycle
track, Newark, today, saw Fruik Kra
mer, the amateur champion of 1639. de
feat Tom Cooper, the professional cham
pion of l93. In the two remaining Jieats
of their match race, the firs. heat of
which was run on June 10. Kramer -won
by pure speed. As they crossed the tape
in both heats, Kramer was but a few
Inches In the lead of Cooper. Tom had
all his speed, -which he proved by his
great victory In the half-mile open In
which Kramer failed to qualify. McFar
land divided honors with the others, win
ning the five-mile handicap.
Pacemakers were put in to pace the
heats of the one-mile open, which put
a stop to the usual loafing In the half
mile events. Close finishes marked each
heat. McFarland beat Kramer out In a
halr-raislns finish that brought the aud
ience to their feet. Cooper and' Free
man came down the stretch like a double
team, wit he advantage In favor of the
Detrolter. otevens beat Jay Baton In the
third lieat by a very close margin, while
Johnny Fisher beat out Harry Downing.
In the extra heat for s nd men, Free
man showed Jay Baton the wtiy across
the tape.
In the five-mile handicap, ilcFarlana
came to the front at the bell and sprint
ed the last quarter, warding "ft repeated
attempts of Eaton, Newhouse and Kra
men to go around him. The time, 1:52, is

Tame Cycling at Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI. June 24. The hlcycle
races at Chester Park today -were tame,
except in the case of the five-mile tan
dem pursuit race, in which Cliff Allen, or
Indianapolis, and Charles Donovan, or
Goshen, Ind., caught all three of the
leaders, after riding four and one-half

WISCONSIN'S IN ROUGH WATEK.
Both. Freshmen and 'Varsity Crews
1 of Good Timber.
POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y., June 23. Of
the four colleges that are now represent
ed here by eight-oared crews, the "Wls
conslns were the only ones that attempt
ed to do any rowing today, and their ex
periment was made shortly before noon,
when the running of an ebb tide against
a southwest wind kicked up a heavy
sea which was anything but satisfactory.
O'Dea, who says that .his- men are not
In condition to enter a race, felt that it
was necessary for them to go out in
spite of the white caps, und he sent them
over to the we&t shore, while he followed
in the "Walla AValla. In. crossing the
river the 'varsity boat shipped water un
til it threatened to swamp, and the eight
had to get out on a beach and empty the
water. The freshmen boat did not take in
nearly so much water, although the crew
went through the same process of empty
ing it out. After that both crews rowed
a few short stretches, but the river
was too rough to permit much coach
ing, and O'Dea sent the crews back to
the boathouse.
"Without comparing them with the
varsity, the trial showed that in rough
water the freshmen are n. decidedly well
behaved eight. In fact, their discipline is
so perfect that they have the appear
anco of veterans.
B. H. Murphy and E. E. Haskln, respec
tively commodore and vice-commodore
of the "Wisconsin navy, arrived today, ac
companled by John Hlckey. custodian of
the college gymnasium, who will look
out for the "Wisconsin's properties.
, Fitxjrerald Handball Champion.
CHICAGO. June 24. The handball
championship of the world is now claimed
by John Fitzgerald. A. short time ago he
met "William Gimey for the champion
ship. A. series of 15 games were to have
been played, but Fitzgerald won seven
straight. The second series was sched
uled for today, but Carney did not ap
pear to contest. Fitzgerald announces
that he is open to meet any roan in the
world.
Cincinnati Hit Chicago Hard.
CHICAGO. June 24. Cincinnati batted
Griffith so hard and effectively today that
he retired in the fifth m favor of Gar

"Win. E. Curtis In Chicago Record.
The records of the parentage of cadets
furnish a suggestive study and represent
the representative democratic character
of the corps. You cannot find among the
pupils of any public school a wider so
cial range than that from which the ca
dets at "West Point were chosen. They
come from alL classes and ranks of peo
ple, and the largest number from the
farm. During the last 10 years, for ex
ample, the sons of 149 farmers have been
admitted to the academy. The merchant
class has contributed 113, the next largst
number: an even hundred were the sons
of lawyers, 65 were boys brought up in
the army, the sons of officers, most of
Uhem graduates of this institution; the
fathers of 37 were manufacturers and of
S2 mechanics. 20 were insurance and JO
were real estate agents. 14 were clergy.

borers, five hotel keepers, four printers,
three policemen, three photographers,

engineers, four mechanical engineers.
Only three 'were sons of members of
Congress, which speaks well for the ab
sence of nepotism in the military branch
of the, public service: two were sons of
livery stable keepers, one was the son of
the manager of a lottery company, an
unlawful business, and each of the fol
lowing occupations were represented by
one cadet.

about the democratic character of the

AN INSOLVENT UTOPIA.
Hott Joslah Qnincy's Theory
"Worked Oat 1& Boston.
Guild A. Copejasd la "Harper's Weekly.
It was only two years ago thatMayor
Joslah Qulncy "began In Boston his exper
iments that were so widely described, at
the time, in the American press. - He
aimed to build up & model city govern
ment, whose employes should them
selves do the work that In other cities is
done by contract or through private
terms. ...
This was, in effect, the nearest ap
proach to the development of the "mu
nicipal ownership" Idea ever seen in any
American municipality. It was a modi
fied form of socialism, and at the outset
It won high praise. The city was to save
the money heretofore paid in middlemen's
or, corporations' profits, and was not to
allow greedy contractors to wring dis
honest profits from the "municipal treas
ury; "The painful announcement that the
whole scheme Is now discredited and Is
a subject for popular ridicule may causa
some sorrow among those municipal
statesmen elsewhere who have been so
strongly on the side of "municipal own
ership" as a theory which might save
American cities Ironrpresent evils. ...
From the statement of a skilled work
man who- held a high place In one of
these bureaus, but was powerless to do
much in the way of. -correcting abuses,
a few figures are -worth quoting. Reck
oning up the cost of material at the
current quotations, and the. probable cost
of labor necessary todo the work under
the supervision of any reliable contactor
or business house in "Boston, he. found
that a job of electrical equipment "on the
ferry-boats operated by the city should
have cost 3GS00. As a matter of record, It
actually .cost $10,200. The electrical work
on a city building for hospital nurses
should have cost $1628. It really cost
H754.. The work on a city armory should
have cost less than $2600. but the city had
to pay nearly $5700 for the job. Some
work on a public school, estimated as
likely to cost $1471 if done under con
tract, cost the city about $300. . .
Thus, in one bureau after another,
practically the same situation was found.
Instead of saving money by doing all
kinds of city work dlrectiy by city em
ployes, the 'city has been brought Into
debt tremendously; so that today the
debt is over four times the limit fixed by
the. State Legislature, the excess having
been borrowed under special legislative
acts. The interest on this debt, with
sinking-fund payments, now amounts to
more than the entire amount annually
raised by taxation for all dry purposes,
outside of the school expenditure.
It is worth notice that amid all these
revelations, which have stunned Boston,
thero Is no charge of any such dishon
esty as would call for legal proceedings.
There has been no embezzlement of mon
ey. The-sums expended are covered by
proper vouchers, stored In the municipal
records. That there was wasteful and
extravagant folly Is certain; but the
crime is not one covered by the statutes
of the commonwealth. The failure of th
experiment was due to political interfer
ence. ' Since Mayor Hart came into office he
has been compelled to make so many re
movals In the Interest of economy that
it is now estimated that some $500,000 or
SGOO.OOO has been saved to the city al
ready. Early in his term, on meeting
with the head of one bureau, he sug
gested that if there were any superfluous
men in -that branch of tho service they
be removed; but he added that he did
not want one man disturbed whose serv
ices were needed. The next day the head
of the bureau brought in a report saying
that at least one-third of his force could
be discharged at once without any harm
to the efficiency of the bureau! . . .
It might be supposed that the civil
senico laws would Interpose some ob
stacle to loading the sen-Ice down with
inefficient men; but it was found that
there were seme ways of evading the
clvil-servlce laws. If the men had ap
plied for work as skilled workmen or as
ordinary employees they would have been
compelled to show their fitness; but many
of the applications were made for serv
ice under queer trades not generally sup
posed to bo needed In the city's work.
Often it would happen that the applica
tion thus put in would be the only one of
its kind. The Civil Service Commission
ers had. of course, prepared no examina
tion for such a trade. The applicant was
registered, and then there would prompt
ly follow a requisition for Just such a
worker for one of the city departments.
in a list of about 50 men who were em
ployed in the water department on cler
ical work, or in Inspecting hydrants or
water-pipes, it was found that one had
entered as n "coppersmith," another as a
"shlp-calker." and another as an "ex
pert swimmer." There were "sailors,"
"dial-makers," "rubber-gasket makers,"
"riggers" and "splicers." "miners,"
"stone-cullers." "beam-tenders," "wire
men" and "rodmen" in the list also, each
demanded by special requisition for a
man of that trade. About every branch
of human effort except that of "expert
ballonlst" or "skilled animal-trainer"
may be found in these special requisi
tions; and the only reason these were
overlooked Is probably that they did not
occur to the fertile brains of the inge
nious evaders of the clvil-servico
laws. . . .
"What would have been the result if the
Boston experiment had been carried out
upon a bu6lnes6-like .basis is a question
which may be discussed by theorists.
"What actually resulted has been shown.
As compared with the political conditions
in New York, Philadelphia. Chicago or
San Francisco. Boston political methods
are popularly supposed to be as pure as
the most widely advertised brand of toi
let soap. Yet Boston has learned, with
mixed emotions of surprise, pain and cha
grin, the results of its own experiment
in public -operation of public business.
The question of "municipal ownership"
has- been settled for Boston. The pro
posed Utopia has been forced Into In
solvency, and a hard-headed Yankee
banker is now engaged in winding up its
accounts In a prudent manner.
It may be added that in the meantime
those public franchises that have been
operated by private capital In Boston are
payipg good dividends; but they are run
on business principles, and without an
Interference on the part of politicians.
Possibly there is some American city
where the Boston experiment could be
repeated without political Interference:
but I do not profess to know just where
that city is to be found.

THE SOUTH.
An Injnstlce Done to the Xrth-
Seath's Representation In Con-
ereni Should. Be Rdsced.
WASHINGTON. June 15. (Special to the
Boston. Transcnpt.) In 1S90 the total black
population of the Union was 7.C3S.3S0. Of
this total 6.S39.277 were in the late slave
states and the District of Columbia. In
tho District, which has no representaton,
there were 75,697 blacks. The bVack popu
lation of the border states, usually In
cluded In the term "South" as covering
the late slave section. Is not large, as the
following figures prove:
Delaware 2S,427jMlssouri .155.726
Maryland 215,S8i,
W. Virginia... 22. .11 Total 6 states.CS5.910
.n.entucKy' 2SS,173M&lsslppl 744,749
It will be seen coat there are more col
ored people In the small state of Mississip
pi aone than in the entire baK-dozea bor
der states. Georgia has a negro popula
tion of S5S.995. or 164.0SG In excess of aH
the border states. The wSihe and black
population of the remaining II Southern
states. The South proper, as found In tho
census of 1S90, was as foEows:

Arkansas S18.752 309,47
Tennessee 1,336,637 430.SS1
Totals 9,079.107 6.127,169
Thus about two-fifths nearly one-half
of the total population of tho South Is
black. Under the "Mississippi plan" this
vast colored citizenship is moinJy disfran
chised, and it is obviously Intended that
ultimately it shall be wholly so. The pro
ject for new "constitutions" in Virginia
and North. Carolina, has for its solo ob
ject the adoption of so-called legal -forms
for the suppression of the mass of tho
black vote. Hence In the above tabulation
the border states are excluded, because
in aH of thera the Tiegroes are left measur
ably free to vote, and they are generally
out in full strength. In North Carolina,
and in some portions of Tennessee also,
they have heretofore polled a fair per
centage of their Vote because there la no
intimidation, while in a section of "West
Tennessee there ja more or less of It, and
doubtless tritkery In the counting. The
negro .vote in Tennessee is" steadily grow
ing smaller.
Amendments of Little Avail.
The new-fangled process by -which the
negro population has been deprived of Its
right of suffrage has been so Insidiously
managed as to effect Its purpose wlth6ut
particularly disquieting the moral' sense
of the country. It "ws therefore found
much easier and at the same -time more
effective than wholesale murder. There
is an old axiom that. "dead men te.ll no
tales,' but tho hecatombs of murdered
negroes in the South during the recon
struction days refuted this, because they
told a, story which aroused the horror
and antagonism of the whole wor,ld and
made the accomplishment of the South
ern 'design the more difficult. Under the
milder "Constitutional" plan of disfran
chisement, after 'the abanddnment of sys
tematic violence as a means ,to the He
slred end, a strong Northern sentiment
gradually developed in favor of letting
the South adjust the negro question to
suit Itself. Many earnest Republicans
who favor universal suffrage, after the
harassments of a 30 years' fruitless
struggle, eventually weakened, and adopt
ed this view. This change was a" great
stumbltng block to any National action
for the enforcement of the negro. amend
ments to the Constitution. "Herein is the
cunning and danger" of the "Mississippi
plan" to override the Constitution. The
.Republican party has been practically
forestalled In Its efforts to protect the
i Southern negroes In their rights of suf
frage. In fact, it was beaten by this in
fernal "Mississippi plan."
An Injustice to the North.
Gradually, however, the rest of the
country, with 46.92L974 inhabitants who
vote in perfect liberty, began to perceive
in the effects of the "Mississippi plan" a
new and still more glaring Injustice to
themselves than the suppression of the
black vote elsewhere. It was found that
by this Mississippi trick 9.579,107 white
people. In 11 Southern States, had a rep
resentation In the Congress based upon
a population of 15,700,276. That is to say,
its black population of 6,121,169 without
any voice In the elections were repre
sented in the House by 35 Congressmen,
and in the choice of a President these
blacks threw 35 electoral votes solidly
over every time for a candidate to whom
they were bitterly opposed, who stands
for the very system which is depriving
them of this light to vote.
Therefore, there Is a revival of Interest
in this old, threadbare problem of white
supremacy In the South. Even the North
ern people, who have lackadaisically
winked at the new process of silencing
the black vote, on the easy-going theory
that there are "two sides to this race
issue," are disquieted to find that In set
tling It "In their own way" the South
erners are making It the means to cheat
honest electors elsewhere out of their
due weight In the decision of Presidential
elections, and the determining of Impor
tant questions of legislation- The fraud
will even havo a direct bearing in de
termining the result of the coming Kan
sas City Democratic National Conven
tion. In other words, supremacy at the
South on the present ratio of representa
tion involves far more than the local
right of self-government, far more than
a mere question of sociology. It reaches
out Into the whole realm of National
affairs and concerns the citizen, be he
Democrat, Republican, Populist or Pro
hibitionist, in New York, in Pennsylvania
and in Missouri, as deeply and directly
in some particulars as the Misslsslpplan
or tho South Carolinian.
Representation on JCefijro "Hants.
The U stntce of the South now have 90
members of the House, almost exactly
on&-quacter of the whole body, and one
vote Sn tho coming eCeotoral collego for
every one of these representatives. On the
present ratio of one Representative for
every 173.000 people, their white population
of 9,579,000 would entitle them to only 55
members of Congress. The difference of
35 ia their favor Is based on the black
population, which in two-thirds of the
states now has no voice whatever in their
ohoice. and vrry little 2o the others, and
that ltttle will soon be silenced. It will
undoubtedly be almost completely silenced
bi tho forthcoming Presidential election.
A little figuring proves that the average
aggregate vote cast for Congressmen in
all the districts of the six Northern states,
of Ctatifonsia, Kansas. Missouri. Ohio,
Npw Ycrk.&nd New Jersey Ss 37,200. an.
thte is about the average in all the 34
states of the North, Including the five
bonkc states mentioned above. -These
figures are based on the Congress ejection
returns of 189S. That year the highest
average in the South was In North Caro
lina, wlrch cast 330.RSS votes for candi
dates for Corg-rE3, an average In the nine
districts of 36,763, practically that of tho
Northern States. Texas came next, witu
379,870 votes In the aggregate, an average
of 29,220 Sn 13. districts. As the negroes
form only one-fifth of the population oi
Texas, there has been no fear of thrir
dominating the whites; nevertheless, thw
vote shows that they were not permitted
to participate In erections to any largo
extent. The elections have always becu
fairer in North Carolina than, in any
other Southern State: the long coalition
of the Populists and Republicans, whlca
carries a considerable majority o'f tho
white element .of the states-has served
to protect and eacearage the negroes.
But the leaven of the "Mississippi plan"
has begun to work even in the old North
State, as was demonstrated by the great
falling off in the Republican, vote in 1839,
caused by the "Wilmington "Intimidation"
outbreak. That was tho preliminary Dem
ocratic step toward the introduction of
the "Mississippi plan."
Fevr Votes Cast In 5eath.
After North Carolina and Texas, the
average falls quickly. It was 16,722 in
Virginia and 16.451 in Florida, proving
that very few blacks voted for Congress
men In those states3. The showing Was
stilL worse in Alabama, which, with 1,513,
017 inhabitants, cast only 91,020 votes for
nine Representatives, an" average of
10.113 a district. The general average for
each district in the six ioregolng states
of th,e South was 21,14V more than 16,0w
votes less than tho Northern average.
This is bad enough, but there is still
a darker picture back, of it. Below is
the total vote for Congressmen of the
five remaining states of the South, the
real -"South," as it Is now managed by
the supreme white man on the "Mis
sissippi jlan." Alabama really belongj
in thl3 category, hut as by comparison
with them she casts something" like a
respectable average of yotes In the Con
gress districts the state was placed in
more decent political company.

This average divided by five givs 457fc

states. This 1b more" than 32,600 less than
the average vote thrown through tho
North, and more than lfi.000 less than the
average In the other six Southern States,
where the Mississippi system has not yet
gone fully into effect. It 1b one-half less
than the paltry average in Alabama. The
26th district of New York, which sends
Mr. Ray to Congress,, polled 51,207 votes
in 1898, only 14,000 less than the entire
vote for Congressmen of tjhe State of
Georgia, with her 1,837,353 people calleu
"the Empire state of the South." It was
more than the totals o'f either of the
other four Southern Stages- The Demo
cratic 14th district of 'Missouri in an old
hidebound slave region, cast 42,446 votes,
a greater aggregate lhan the total voto
for Congressmen of either South Carolina,
Mississippi, Louisiana or Arkansas. The
first Illinois district threw 69,334 -votes,
only 6000 short of that of the entire poll
in Georgia, which was moratthan -double
that of either of the other states. James
Rankin Young's district in Philadelphia
cast 57,249 votes, and Chester L Long's
Kansas' district 51.496. These, it must be
remembered, are tha aggregates-of single
Congress districts, not states.
Unfair Advantage In Conaress.
These five Southern States, casting an
aggregafe of only 184,602 votes at the elec
tion of 1898, sent up 37 Congressmen. The
Imperial State of New York, which cast
more than 1,250,000 votes, has only 34 Rep
resentatives. The Democratic State of
Missouri, which cast 550,000 ballots in 1608,
has only 15 Representatives. Kansas,
which cast 288,000 votes, more; than IOO.OOj
In excess of the aggregate vote of the flv
Southern States named, has only seer.
Congressmen, against their 37.
These are suggestive comparisons. It
is not a question of partisanship not a
matter of great importance whether these
states are Democratic or Republican
but one which goes to the general public
Interest. If the states whjch elect to
pursue the "Mississippi plan" insist on
suppressing the negro vote they shoum
frankly yield up the redundant represen
tation derived from the negro popula
tion. There w ill be public Insistence upon
this alternative, and the movement for
an Investigation by Congress Into the
electoral processes of the South has its
origin in the design to force this issue.
On the vote -they cast, the. five States
of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mis
sissippi and South Carolina -would be en
titled to precisely .five Representatives
in Congress; that is, on the average or
37.000 votes a district, as shown through
the other portions of the Union where
there Is no obstruction to the free exer
cise of the elective franchise. Nebraska
cast 185,000 votes for Congressmen in
189S; she has six Representatives. That
is almost precisely the total vote of tho
five states ruled by the "Mississippi
plan," and they would be entitled to six
Representatives on the same ratio, an
additional one for the extraordinary vote
of Georgia, 65.75L a major fraction over
the average for a slnglo .Representative.
The others all fall below the average
requirement -or a Representative.

ert T. Lincoln, In a carefully worded let
ter addressed to his excellency, offered
the old Springfield home of his famous
father as a gift to the State of Illinois,
under certain prescribed conditions.
These conditions were that the state
should keep the old hlstbric home in good
repair until the rrosts-of time had with
ered and destroyed forever the famous
structure. .
Yes, the old homo, me haven of rest,
of Lincoln's lawpractlclng days in
Springfield was to become the property of
the state, as long as beam and rafter
successfully foughl the- -ravages of decay,
and when that Inevitable hour was ush
ered in, the naked ground was to revert
to Robert T. Lincoln, orihls lawful heirs.
After this manner did the honored son of
an Illustrious countryman, make gift to
the commonwealth of the Illinois home of
his childhood and youth.
For some years previous to the adminis
trations of Governors, Fifer and Altgeld.
Mr. Lincoln had expressed, to old-time
friends in Springfield and elsewhere his
displeasure at the manner in which his
father's old home was being used and
cared for. By every tie, of b'lood and af
fection did the son claim the right to
change the aspect of things in his father's
old home and to preserve it as a worthy
historic memorial.
In Its restored form the homo is a great
resort Tor all visitors who come to Spring
field; the register shows a Visitation of 12,
000 last year. The custodian is paid a
salary, and the state keeps the premises
now In the best of repair. All the rooms
have been repainted! and repapered, with
the exception of one bedroom upstairs,
and in this apartment the', same paper
has clung to the walls for over 40 years.
It is indeed the restoration, of the old
Lincoln home, and there Is a nicety in
the arrangement of the furniture charac
teristlo of Mrs. Lincoln's taste. "It Is
now," said Senator Pftlmer, ''like an old
familiar picture just as Lincoln's home
looked when he commenced his prepara
tions for breaking up housekeeping in
Springfield."
Sheltered beneath the roof of historic
Mount Vernon, where, lived and died the
father of his country, there Is a feeling
of pride and patriotic, devotion dear to
every American heart. ' So, too, when one
slowly lingers In and sbout.the rooms of
the old Springfield home of Abraham Lin
coln, one cannot forget the glory and
grandeur his Illustrious natpe has added
to tho pages of history. It Is one of tho
most cherished realities of the nation's
life. v

GAME LAWS FOR AFRICA
AX IKTERNATIOSAL AGREEMENT
REACHED OS SUBJECT.
Fo-rrera te Cenflscate Small Elephant
Tasks, Establish Preserves and.
Close Seasons.
A war 3n Africa other than, that which
haa cost Boer and Briton so dearly
has recently been attracting the atten
tion of the. countries haying colonies In
the Dark Continent, and especially the
sportomen of the world, says the Boston
Transcript. It te the war of extermina
tion carried on by huntera against the
wild animals, birds and fish in Africa.
This, threatened extinction of tne game of
equaitorlal Africa ha? been the subject
of an International conference, which has
recently concluded Its sittings at the
Foreign Office la London, arriving at,con
cluslons which have been embodied in an
International convention for the preserva
tion of such of the animal life of Africa
as is not harmful to mankind. This con
vention, issued as a Parliamentary paper
by the British Government last week, has
as. its contracting panics the governments
of Great Britain, Germany; Spain, Bel
glum for the Congo Free State, France,
Itaiy and Portugal, and runs for 15 years.
During this time all are bound to enforce
the restrictions agreed upon with their
respective territories in a zone 'bounded
as follows.
On the north by the 20th parallel of lati
tude (e. g;, north of Timbuctoo on. the
west and Dongola on the east); on the
west by the Atlantic Ocean; on the east
by the Red. Sea and- Indian Ocean; and
on the south hyaline following the north
ern boundary of German- So utihwesi Africa
from Us western extremity to Its junc
tion whh the Zambesi, and, thence along
the right bank of that river to the Indian
Ocean. "Within- these limits tho birds,
bads and reptiles hive been divided! hy
the convention into classes demanding
Varying treatment. These classes are as
T Be Always Preserved.

(All the above are officially styled "harmful"
animals; hence the edict against them.)
The vast territory thus dealt with Is
substantially that which is known as Cen
tral Africa. In. North and South Africa,
where civilized, rule prevails, efforts have
beco already made to prevent or limit
reckless astructlon of animal life. But
these precautions have come too lae. In
Capo Colony, in Natal, m Algeria and on
the Nile, Jb!g game has almost wholly
ceased to exist. It is necessary to go far
into the interior to find! the nobler forms
of antelopes, and still farther If the
hunter wants- to pursue the elephsant, the
rhinoceros-or the giraffe. Very soon these
animals, unless something Is done to pre
vent their extermination, will be stamped
out as completely as the dodo. To some
extent this process fas Inevitable. The
advance of civilization is fatally disturb
ing to primitive forms of animal life, and
commerce discovers continually some new
demand for the trophies of the chase. The
horns, the skin and the plumage of beasts
and birds have an Increasing market
value. It la not surprising, therefore, that
men of science have become alarmed at
the prospect of the extinction of many
of the most hrterestlng and characteris
tic types of zoological development. How
far the recommendaitlons of the confer
ence will seriously advance .the desired'
objects Is not easy to decide. Many
measures are advised, some of which
are certainly useleso, while others aro
of more than doubtful efficacy. The
most effective method of preservation
absolute prohibition of hunting for speci
fied periods, with a resumption of the
right to hunt at the end of the time in
prescribed dCsfricts has no place among
the recommendations of 4he conference.
It is this method, however, which has
quite recently saved) the chamois in
Switzerhuid from the destruction that had
fallen on the steinbock and the lammer
gder. The suggestions made are various.
There is a general agreement in principle
that the hunting and destruction of cer
tain rare animals should be prohibited by
law. It is further agreed- that the young
of many animals, excluding danserous
carnlvora, as well as females accompanied
by their young, ought to be protected.
Of Hsntlnfl: Elephants.
In regard to some animals, such as ele
phants, the total prohibition of hunting
would be impossible and absurd, but a
Bmirtatlon. is evidently reasonable and ex
pedient. If only H can be enforced. The
most serious aspect of the question. Is the
destruction of the females and the young
of the African elephants for the sake of
t2ie small amount of ivory they carry.
The conference proposes to make the kill
ing of young elephants- Illegal, to enforce
severe penalties against hurnters who vio
late this rule, and. what is perhaps more
likely to be effective than anything else,
to confiscate on exportation all tusks be
low the weight of five kilograms. The
last point Is one on which the greatest
stress ought to be laid, and Its scope
might be enlarged! -with advantage. As- for
the rest of the stipulations of the conven
tion, they appear to amount for the most
part to no more than the expression of
an opinion. It would be very desirable to
see them carried out, but it Is not easy
to see how with the exception of the
creation of the proposed .preserves and
the prohibition of the export of small
itusks Jtho remedies suggested are to be
applied in practice. It Is easy to enact
that certain animals shall not be killed
at all, or shall only be killed under cer
tain conditions or at certain, times, but
who is to see that the law Is observed
In the Interior of Africa? The same ob
jection applies to the prohibition or
bursting, except by persons holding
licenses, and to the restriction of the em
ployment of nets, pitfalls, dynamite, etc
On the other hand, it is a gain that all
tho Interested governments are at one Jn
opposing extermination. Even if some of
their declarations must remain practical
ly Inoperative, they will tend to produce a
heaJthy public opinion. On two points a
more substantial gain may be looked for.
The restriction on export of small tusks,
if rigorously enforced, will end the ruin
ous destruction of breeding female ele
phants and young males, and the prin
ciple might be extended with advantage.
The creation of preserves in which the
rich animal life of Africa may develop
itself unchecked ought to produce some
sferiklag results. But te Africa thera la
even now time to do much more, though
there Is no time to be lost to prevent the
complete extinction s-f type of animal
Mfe wh4dh will never, be, produced, and
which in their own. way reach the high
est expression of grace, strength and
vigor. The Tcsults of the conference are
not amiss, though they do not go far
enough; but at all events they show that
civilized nations hae, become alive to
th folly of killing oft the noblest of wild
animals for the sake of making a ''big
bag" or for the meaner motive of selling
tusks, horns and skins for a few pence or
pounds.
"Where Amber Is Fossa.
Indianapolis Press.
Gold of the Baltic Sea. as amber Is often
called, is found in various places on the
globe, but nowhere in such abundance as
on the shores of the Isaltic from Memel
to Danzig, and there principally on the
coast of the oblong piece of land Jutting
out into the sea between the Kur.sche and
the Frische Haff. It Is, in fact, a vege
table product, a fossil gum of a conifer
ous tree, and from time immemorial It
has been used as a jewel by many a fair
lady.
