Wolves belonging to a theatrical rompany escaped Tuesday night while being taken to tho station for ship ment at Brazil, Ind.

The battleships Kcarsargo, Iowa, Illinois and Massachusetts and the ship Prairlo f.rrlved off Galveston last night, and will be Joined by vtho new Maine and tho Scorpion, tender to tho North Atlantic squadron. Washington, Feb. 20. The Alaska homestead law, as reported and pass ed by tho senato, is a very different and far mo-e comprehensive measure than the bill as it passed the house, and, because of the changes, Ute house will either be obliged to accept the senate amendments or the differ ences will have to be adjusted in con cience. The senato returns tho pro vision of the house bill limiting home steads in Alaska 10 320 acres, but nrtds a number of important provis ions and limitations. In its report, the senate committee says: "The present law, which allows a homesteader to take 80 acres, is en tirely inadequate for the conditions of the country and the efforts of those who go there for settlement. A large part of the land In Alaska Is suitable for agricultural purposes, but is not suitable for such purposes in the lim ited area of 100 acres allowed by the general homestead law of the United States, nnd still less so in an area ol 80 acres, as allowed- by former legis lation of congress. "It is believed by the committee that in enlarging the amount of land which each settler may In good faith may take to 320 acres a sufficient amount would be set apart to enablo that settler to engage profitably iu the occupation of agriculture In that district. The committee has seen fir to increase the limitations of the homestead act, ns set forth that Is, that Jho commutation clauses of the homestead act, which is applicable to the states of the United States and the territories, shall not be allowed in Alaska. This is done for the purpose of preventing settlers upon these tracts from taking land for the pur pose of speculation and paying $1.25 por acre (as In other parts of tha country subject to homestead entry) dispose of their rights and holdings for speculative purposes, "It has been thought proper in rases- whoro a person 8hp.ll desire to niako entry on 320 acres of land, as allowed In this hill, that ho shall make It' in a compact, rectangular form, not more than one mile In length. This 'precludes 'the possibil ity of monopolizing the streams and narrow' valleys by any one home steader. "All this land is, by tho operation of this proposed bill, taken out of the operation of tho law which allows thi entry of land of like 'character In the United States and territories by means of the various classes of land scrip which may now be applied to that purpose. "The necessity of legislation of tho sort proposed by this bill is pressing and Immediate; and the committee recommends that the bill be passed.'' The essential features of the sen ate bill are as follows: "That all the provisions of the homestead laws of the United States not in conflict with the provisions ot tills act, and nil rights incident there to, excepting the commutation pro visions thereof, and excepting also the provisiosn relating to the acqui sition of this through soldiers' addi tional homestead rights, are hereby extended to the district of Alaska, subject to such regulations as may be made by tho secretary of tho In terior; and no indemnity, deficiency or lieu lands pertaining to any land grant originating outside of the dis trict of Alaska, and no scrip or war rant of any kind whatsoever shall he located within, taken from, or oxer cised on any lands in said district. "Provided, That no entry shall be allowed extending more than 1C0 rods along the shore of any navigable- water; and along such shore a space of at least 80 rods shall be reserved for entry between such claims; and that nothing herein contained shnll hi- so construed as to authorize en tries to he made or title to bo acquir ed to the shore of any navigable waters within said district; and no patents shall Issue hereunder until all the requirements of tho revised stat utes have been fully compiled with as to residence, improvements, culti vation and proof. "If any of the land go settled upon or to be settled upon Is unsurveyed, then the land settled upon or to b settled upon, must bo located In a u-ctangular form, r.ot more than one mile In length and located by noith nnd south lines run according to tho true meridian; that the location so made shall bo marked upon tho ground by permanent monuments ut each of the four corners of said locu tion, so that tho boundaries of the same may be readily and easily trac ed; that the record of said location shall within 90 days from the date of settlement be filed for record -In tho recording dlttrlct In which the land in situated.

STOCK LOSSES EXAGGERATED IDAHO SHEEPMEN NOT RUINED AS REPORTED, Isolated Cases of Loss Have Led to False Reports Martin B. Gwinn, Secretary of Idaho Woolgrowers' Denies Alarming Statements. Boise, Fob, 20. Somebody has been industriously circulating stories to the effect that great losses of stock have been occasioned In this state by tho snow and cold weather. These si cries nre so greatly exaggerated that they are practically false. While there have Dcon losses in places, there has been no general decimation of flockc. In fact, tho great majority of fh'eepmen have lost no more sheep than was to be expected under any conditions, whllo no cattle have been lost anywheie, so far as known. Tho only sheepmen belonging in Idaho who have lost, go far, are two or threo who make their headquarters In Fremont county. Other Idaho sheepmen havo their flocks well sup plied with feed and the animals nre doing well. On the Snnko river plain in 'the vicinity of Mlnadoka there are some bands that woro driven in from Utah late In the fall. Theso band3 have sustained losses. Reports from over tho state, said Montlo H. Gwinn, secrotary of the Idaho Woolgrowers' Association showed that tho losses so far this year with the exception of a few Iso lated cases, were only nominal. In practically all sections the owner of sheep and I'lenly of feed and their stock was not suffering to any great extent Of course, there woro a very few exceptions hut, speaking gener ally, the conditions were quite satisfactory.
