N HOTEL 1S BESIESED BERLIN HOAXED BY PHAN TOM VANDERBILT. Mad Rush to Call on American Millionaire, Reported As Hav- ing Arrived. Berlin, May 9.--Berlin bas gloriously deceived in its fondness for American millionaires, On Saturday the papers announced that William K, Vanderbit, New York, and his wife and daughter had arrived at the Hotel Bristol to spend the Easter holidays. One or two pa- pers printed what purported to be graphic interviews with this distin- guished visitor; and the hotel became, within twenty-four hours, the mecca of scorcs of persons anxious to meet the American platocrat. The procession to the hotel included bankers with schemes to promote, pie- ture-dealers apd motorcar agents, vacht and motor-boat builders, repre- sentatives of hospitals, orphanages and libraries, flying-machine inventors and a nondescript collection of strange with proposals of various kinds. Lettess poured in addressed to "W, K. Vanderbilt, Millionaire." One man in Saxony telegraphed that he had two unknown Rembrandts and a Van Dvek, which could be bought at a bargain. As a matter of fact Mr. Vanderhilt was not in Berlin at all. Only his wife (formerly Mrs. Rutherford, an Englishwoman)and her daughter, Miss Rutherford, together with her son by her first marriage, Mr. Sands, were here. The latter, a young English- man of twenty-eight, has been wins- peringly pointed out by hotel pages as the American Uroesus. Many tables have been engaged at the hotel taurant by Berliners, who hoped the opportunity of hrushing shoulders with Mr. Vanderbilt, whose name in- spires genuine awe in the German mind.

Northwestern Police to Stop Their! Wholesale Destruction. It is announced from Ottawa that | with the concurrence of the Govern-! ment commissioner, A. B. Perry, of! Regina, who is in command of the | RN.W.M.P,, intends at once to estab- Lish posts at Fort Smith and Ford] Resolution, in the Mackenzie River | district, and to station there detach-| ments of the Mounted Police, whose duty it will be to protect the {ast few | wild buffalo that remain out of the} countless herds that once roamed the vast prairies of the West. ! This step is to be taken in conse- | quence of alarming reports presented | at headquarters by Inspector A. M.| Jarvis, C.M.G., who during last season | was sent up fo the buffalo range in| the Mackenzie district te ascertain | whether the herd known to be exist | ing there was increasing or dimin- | ishing, and whether, as reported, the herd was being harried by numerous | wolves. Inspector Jarvis, after visit ing the buffalo range, and actaally inspecting the herd, reached the fol- lowing conclusions, That the buffalo are in danger of ction not by wolves, but by DS That unl 2 at unless adequate police pro- tection be given, the oy uiit not | last five years. Inspector, Jarvis states that when he got into the neighborhood of the took the greatest pains to inform him that the wolves were destroying the buffalo. This aroused his suspicions, particularly when, at a meeting of the chiefs and hunters of the Chipew- yan Indians, countless objections were raised to his plans for visiting the buffalo range. He was unable to get any of these Indians to go with him as guides, but at length managed to a a half-breed to accompany him. he journeyed to the upland known t Mountain--a country resem- bling Central Manitoba, splendidly adapted for settlement, and destined, Inspector Jarvis thinks, to be a new and far larger Manitoba as soon as it is made accessible by railway. Finally they came in sight of the buffalo, and managed to stalk up to within 50 paces of them. They were lying down, and Inspector Jarvis counted four big bulls, four little calves, three two-year-olds, and eight cows. When they saw them, the buffalo got up and stared, showing how easily they could be approached and killed. The bulls were magnifi- cent looking animals, and the cows were sleek and fine-looking Beaulieu, the half-breed guide, said "Mon Dieu, Major. Let me shoot one cow!" be fined $500, and he would osition, "Then let me kill one for the Gov- ernment," pleaded Beaulieu, but In- spector Jarvis would not permit it While in the district Inspeetor Jar- vis saw 33 of these animals, and the fresh tracks of ten or twelve more. As far as he could discover, wolves were very scarce, and he found ample jus- tification for his suspicion that it was two-legged depredators who were really doing the mischief These poachers, he says, are all well known. They live at Smith summer, and could easily be led by a local police patrol. Resident guardians are now to he placed on the ground, so that the sur- vivors of the magnificent animais whose name is so indelibly associat- ed with the history of the country will be preserved from extinetion. Tt is probable that the placing of Mount. ed Police on the range is but the preliminary to carrying out another suggestion of Inspector Jarvis, which is to turn the whole of the very limit- ed area now inhabited by the buffalo into a National Park would lose his control- Salvation Army Immigrants. Beven hundred Old Country immi- grants, brought out by the Salvation Army, recently passed through Mont real, on their way to British Columbia "British Columbia is now being un- derstood in the Mother Country," said a C.P.R. official "At first, it was supposed to be a sterile provinee, yielding nothing but minerals t was only comparatively recently that the people in the Pacific Provinee have realized the fact that a great part of their country is agricul tural in "its; character It was Sir Thomas Shaughnessy who first earn- estly advocated forming and fruit grow- ing in - fortile parts of the certain | province. British Columbia now pro- vides for her own market, for the Northwest provinces, and for Great Britain fruit and other farm products The Jatter, I magssay, commands the highest prices in the London markets and British Columbia apples aresold in the London {guit shops at ten cents apiece "The Pacific Coast Province sup- ples the Northwest with vegetables and timber, while the latter sends to British Columbia cattle and grain. "The people in the Old Country are finding out that British Columbia more closely resembles the home land, in climate, physical aspect, usages and customs of the peoples, than any of the other provinces in the Dom- inion. It is for this reason that so many well-to-do British people come out to this provinee, for the pur of settling down, takin Jp land, buying property, that t may five in comfort in a province * ich is like home, and yet which is climatically better than home because, while the province has a short rainy - season, there is very much less rain there than in the Old Country, while the winter is mild and open, as it is in England, "On the other hand, the aitraction of agriculture and fruit-growing pro- vides employment for those accustom- ed to the soil, and these immigrants will readily find places in the western vince, which is so Sinelively ritish in character."
