3 St. LEIPSIC, 0-, Dec. The chase for the two wild animals that has been carried on since last Saturday afternoon, has aroused county for miles around. Two of the Mr. Alf M.

Rhoads and Jerry who have been on the trail since Sunday afternoon, arrived hrthis city Wednesday and report the chase in full blast. It was stated by these two men that at least 500 men are now iii the black swamp and that the baying 1 of the hounds can be heard for a mile. Mr. Ettinger. who is an old experienced hunter, says he had two shots at larger of the two brutes, but as thidistance was great at which he shot, tfil exact effect on the animal could not be determined, but says the animal uttered a fearful howl, and that blood found on the gronnd whera the brute' stood.

The great speed with animals travel makes it almost ran impossibility for the trailers to them, fleetest hound on tra-il having hard work to keep scent The "brutes keep well together during- the day, but at night they separate and travel for miles before they again join company. Mr. Samuel Foitz, one of the hunters who has been after the animals, and who on Wednesday afternoon got a shot and a good view of the smaller of the two it was about five and a half feet long- and about two feet tall, and that it looked ferocious when he shot It is now hoped that the animals, which are-unioubtedly California pumas, will be shot before anotherflay, as their depredations are getting bolder each as they undoubtedly hard pressed. They are now located near the center of the black swamp, and take to the water to throw the hounds from their trail, and will be hours before it can be again picked up. Messrs.

Etting-er and Rhoads had their dogs them, two hounds and they completely worn out, having only a iew hours rest since Sunday night. J. K. uffhman, one of the hunters, will leave Thursday morning for the hunting ground, with. several old and periencad woodsmen, fully to capture the animals.

Main St. THE TAILOR. they are the most vieioua beasts they have ever seen, and they go well armed. One of the animals took down a large sized deer that had been hung- up and carried or dragged it about 100 yards, where, after devouring 1 a portion of it. loft the balance by a large log.

One of the hunters, a Mr. Butler, trailing the missing venison, saw the animal, but failed to get a shot, on account of his gun missing fire. He says that it is ons of the most cunning animals he has ever can elude its pursuers in a wonderfully clever manner. He lives only a few miles west of this place, and says he has frequently seen the animal while in the woods, and thinks it is, without a doubt, the California puma. Treaties of Commerce.

BIUJSSKLS, Dec. Independence Beige says that the Argentine Republic and Brazil have decided to negotiate with Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy. England and Belgium for the establishment of treaties of commerce.

Anarchy In a lrf Dec.

is reported that a state of siege has been declared in many of the famine-stricken districts of Russia, owing- to the prevalence of brigandage and anarchy among the starving peasants. It is also reported that eighty thousand Russian troops are massing around Lublin, Poland, for winter maneuvers. I just revealed girls who arrived by the Empress of China about the middle of October. These girls, ranging in age from eleven to fourteen years, were in charge of two old Ah De and Chin SuL Immediately upon the arrival of the steamer they disposed of the oldest for $1.400 and $1,500 respectively, but they bound the four younger over to Lin You, a famous procuress, with instructions to wait for a better market. On Monday last she sold them lor Si.410, and $770 respectively, cash being paid down.

This sale was made with the assistance of Moy Chung, the hesM of the High-binder gang in Victoria, and, oi course, he received a good commission for his part in the transaction. Moy Chung rules the Chinese resideuti of Victoria with a rod of iron. The powers vested in him by the chiefs of the High-binder society in Hong Kong- make him feared by every Chinaman, and it is alleged that he is at the bottom of nearly every brawl and disturbance. Lin, when frightened by the. questions put to finally confessed every thing regarding the sale, and added that the Empress of India on her next trip would bring more girls for the same purpose.

Lin You also stated that three out of the four girls sold on Monday had up to that time led perfectly pure lives. Two of them went to Lo Leet, one- to Wah Fook and one to Chung Wan. On Friday night, Lo Leet, a low repulsive looking man, besotted with opium smoking, but dressed in a manner that at once proclaimed him wealthy, opened his doors to the men who were searching for the girls and regretted his carelessness a moment afterward. In the first room, huddled in a bed, the two girls, but pale and with eyes like those of hunted animals. When questioned they told their tale in a plain, straightforward manner.

Briefly they were slaves, lir- in dread of their owner, and forced to prostitution; this In the principal street of Victoria, 200 yards from the city. ball. Wah Quong Fook, who bought a child of thirteen, is well known even beyond Chinatown. He is a gambler and crook, and as sharp as a needle. His room is reached by ascending a steep, narrow flight of stairs, pitch dark both day and night The door was opened to admit a "friend" and domed again with the searchers iuside.

The child, loaded down with the weight of costly ftilks and enormous ornaments, stood in the bedroom pale sickly looking. She told her tale after a great deal of kind coaxing. It was what was cruel treatment, compulsory shame and all the criminality of this character. Because the Little Republic Delays Her Reply to Our Demands. MEDICAL.

RICHMOND, Doc. President HnrrUon Mar nd HcMAge to CoRgrctM Proclaiming Xecenftltf of Resorting to Extreme Measarei. NEW YORK, Deo. tpecial from Washington to the Herald tUe nary department is in a warlike mood. It was stated about the department Wednesday that the Chilians are delay- their reply to our demand for information concerning 1 the Valparaiso incident lor the purpose of gaining time so that their new war vessel, Capitan Prat, which will be the most formidable of their fleet, is completed.

The situation thus outlined was discussed with eagerness and the opinion was freely advanced that President Harrisoa would in mil likelihood take measures to checkmate Chili in this matter by sending a special message to congress in the next two weeks, reciting the fact that explanation reparation had been demanded of Chill without and proclaiming the necessity of informing Chili that this country will resort to extreme measures if tbe desired response is further delayed beyond a reasonable and specified time. The wisdom of this course, it is argued, would be apparent. The Capitan is now building 1 in France, can be finished in less than two mouVus or more. Meanwhile, if President Harrisom and congress should cause a declaration of war by the United States against Chili, it would prevent France from delivering the vessel to Chili, and would sltve New York and other Atlantic cities from danger of bombardment by that vessel. In case of war the advantages of this move would be apparent.
