LSEASON OPENS SEPTEMBER 1 Marsh Shooters. D LAW CHANGES Lovers of shocting who exercise their dor within the limitations set by law are leoking focward with eager exzectancy to September 1, Thursday rext, when the close season iu the District of Columbia reaches an end, so far as all bires, except’ quail, are concerned. There are many sportsmen who do not car? for ortolan and reed bird shooting oa the iearstes, but even to such there comes at this time a titillation of the palate due.te past experience with the little feathered fellows in a gastronomic way. It is a fact, hewever, that a reed Lird or an ortolan tastes a g00d deal sweet- ev to the man who has killed it than to him who merely puts up sordid coin and secures it thereby. It will be pleasing to shooters and non- shooters alike to know that the present in- dications are propitious for a very large supply of both “reedies” and ortoian. Gratifying Reports. The reperts from experienced men who watch the marshes of the Eastern branch, the favorite abiding places hereabouts for both the species under consideration, are to the effect that ortolan are already rumereus and the flocks of reed birds lerger and greater in number than. for several years post. here promise to be more shootcrs, too, on the first day, and the owners of skiffs who push shooters through the marshes are securing many engagements for the first tide, which wiil be high Thursday morning about 9 o’cicck. Piover, summer dvek aad blue wing teal are scarce, but it would be well for gun- ners to take along half a Gozen or a dozen shells loaded for such birds, as stragglers are liable to dart up occasienally. Pointers of Value to = Suggestions to Gunners. To be appropriately equipped for a tide, which lasts about three hours, a shooter should take a twelve-bore breech-loading gun, with one barrel open bore and the other ct Sometimes reed birds have ed. hot a long ways off, and the choke barrel will then be found necessary. A | man who is alert end has a good pusher, and by a good pusher is meant a man who knows where to send his skiff through the marshes and mark down the spots where dead birds fall, should take 200 s loaded with drachms of powder, equivalent in smokeless, and an of No. 10 or 11 shot. It is well to ounce carry two guns, In order to allow one pair of barrels to coel off when overheated from rapid shooting.

New Laws Wanted. It is intended by sportsmen here to make a vigorous effort with the coming Congress to adopt laws which will properly protect game in the District and do away with the absurdities now in existence. Every !aw- respecting sportsmen is ardently in favor of having the law changed regarding the shooting of blackbirds, | fly-up-the-creeks and woodcock, so as to make their killing permissible at the same time with reed birds. ortclan and ducks. The season for ali should open on the same day, and this will be sought at the hands of Congress. It fs also intended to secure a law forbid- ding all shooting on alternate days, the in- tention being to assure plenty of birds as long as the season Jasts.

The sion began at 11 o'clock and lasted ptil nightfall. The joint meetings are held in the parliament building, but the commissicns, when meeting separately, held their sessions in rooms in the Chateau Frenienae. As usual, when the joint meeting e! last evening the commissioners reported that they had gone through 1 day of very hard work, a:-i that good had teen made, Sena‘or Americans,’ and Lord Hersche: the Canadians, have been selected to give out whatever there may be for the press, but so far there has been nothing which the commission has considered wise to reveal. One positive statement was made, how- ever. by Lord Herschell tact night. He said it had been that after the recess the confer®nce would continue at Quebec. There has been scme talk about transferring the conference to Washington or Ottawa, but ney. rdship said the work would go on at Quebze. tt is known that books and documents relating to the Be: sea sealing question were much in evidence in the joint meet- ing yesterday, und it is inferred by out- chell sicers that this ant question has been taken up. Some he Canadian au- therities bei that tie commissioners will never get beyond the sealing quzstion. They argue that last winter when Sir Wil- frid Laurier and Sir Louis Davis went to Washingten to have a settlement of that question they failed, and that conditions have not changed since then. lt is probable, however, that during the interim between the 2d and 20th of Sep- tember both delega‘ions will confer with their governments, and be able to do some- thing or declare that they can do nothing, very soon after the boty rezonvenes. ——— + e+ DEATHS AT SANTIATO.

Advices from Havana yesterday state: Early this morning Senor Fernand2s de Castro, civil governor of Havana, ac- compapied by the chief inspector of tne harbor police, visited the Red Cross steam- er Clinton to return Miss Clara Barton’s visit, remaining nearly an hour. The meet- ing took place in the saloon of the steamer. Senor de Castro, who is a young and hand- some man, sat beside Miss Barton, fanning her. Around them were grouped the Red Cross nurses, the whole presenting a pic- turesque scene. Miss Barton says the gov- ernor is a mest charming man. She thinks him endowed with splendid quatities, and she acknowledges the excellenee of tae measures he has adopted to relieve want in the city by establishing kitchens, which distribute over 36,000 rations daily. “With such a man,” says Miss Barton, “almost anything is possible.” Nothing definite has been decided upon, but probably a part of the Red Cross re- lief will be landed here and a part at Matanzas. After his visit to "Miss Barton Governor de Castro paid a visit to the Comal, where he was entertained by Cap- tain Niles and Major Niskern, to whom he gave letters of introduction to Senor Mon- tero, secretary of finance in the Spanish colonial ‘cabinet,. recommending that per- «mission be. given them to distribute a mil- jion rations, free of duty. - Landing. of Soldiers, The plan is for the Comal to remain at Havana as a central floating warehouse and to forward relief to the interior by rail, pack mules and other means of trans- portation. Yesterday morning the first of the Amer- ican soldiers landed from the Comal and took breakfast ashore. Their appearance excited universal curiosity, large crowds ‘following them from the wharf and com- Mending their quiet and gentlemanly con- duct. The attitude of the people here of all classes toward thé American soldiers and correspondents and toward Americans generally is one of, ourtesy and politeuess. This afternoon a detachment of ‘fifteen men from the Comal visited the graves of the victims of the Maine. Capt. Stewart Brice, son of former Senator Brice, and aid-de-camp to Gen. Shafter, also visited the cemetery, and several ladies placed fidwers upon the tombs. All Americans here are anxious to see @ monument erected as soon as possible to. commemorate the rest- ing place of the heroes. Those who went to the cemetery were much struck by the beauty and imposing proportions of the fire- men’s mausoleum. Yesterday, on the oceasion of special re- ligious services in connection with one of the feasts of the church, a congregation, representing the best society of the city, heard a discourse by Father Cristobal, well known in the United States, where he lived many years, and remembered here for his assistance to Chaplain Chidwick in admin- istering the last sacraments and conducting the funeral services after the Maine ex- Plesion. Havana Without Meat. Havana today is without meat, owing to a wrangle over the free entry of cattle. Senor Montero, the secretary of finance, has ob- jected to a removal of the duty on the plea that the public would net be the beneficia- ries, but only the speculators and butchers. Seeing the scarcity of meat, however, and the need of immediate relief, Senor d2 Cas- tro has recommended to Gen. Blanco the removal of the present duty of $6 per head, in‘ order to “discharge at once” the cattle Steamers now in port and to furnish’ the ‘Leity with a supply: x are Advices from the province of Pinar del > DOO POOLDODOLOLHDDTDTD9N39N9N98 SR SOLS Last Week of our clearing up.
