An amusing little Story is told
in a contemporary which shows
that the Emperor is not all
powerful in his own house. How
ever autocratic lie may be in
dealing with tho Gorman army
or the German parliament, ho is
compelled to bend before the will
of his wife in domestic matters,
Poullney Bigelow, who tells Ihe
story, it seems, presented lo him
ii short lime ago, a little canoe of
American build. The Emperor
was delighted with it, and made
Mr. Bigelow sail it up and down
in front of the palace gardens ut
Potsdam. ''All my boys." lie
said, .'shall be canoeists," u remark which greatly pleased Mr,
Bigelow. who is a canoeing enthusiast, But the opinion of the
Empress had yet to be learned.
She spoke to Mr Bigelow about
llie canoe, and he expatiated upon the delights of shooting down
a swift stream between threatening rocks and through foaming
rapids. Tlie Empress failed lo
appreciate. Hie delights. "Oh
no!" she said : "Hint is too dangerous. I shall never allow my
children in a canoe," "Bul,"
suid Mr. Bigelow, " tho Emperor
has already given his consent."
" Thut may he," replied the Empress, sending a smile in hor
husband's direction. "He may
bi> the Emperor of Germany, but
lam the Empress of Hie nursery."

Meeting ono of tlie striking operators on Tuesday, n representative of the Free Press had a
brief chat with him on the situation. He said; "Wo are not
striking because wo desire higher

difficulty of learning the position
of affairs. The strike is considered likely to prove an utter
failure unless tho engineers strike
in sympathy, and refuse to act
under the instructions of inex
perienced dispatchers. They
have no organization and little
money. The commercial business of the C. P. R. is not alloc
ted. the commercial operators
belonging to a different organization. Where necessary the commercial line is being used for
railway business.

Hoi'sn-sboebig A fHpoolnll^i ADVENTURE  IN  CUBA.
A  SCOTCHMAN   WHO  WAS
CAPTURED    BY    THE
REBELS,
And Forced to Repair their Weapons and Eight Against the
Spanish Soldiery- -Ho Relates
Some of His Experiences to a
Free Press Reporter—He Escaped by Flight.
Owing to the absence of any
tiling in the way of newspaper
!■■'] lorts, for such are not obtainable
Jew people have any conception
uf the -inhuman crimes and barbarities tiiul are being committed
in the Island of Cuba, at the very
doors of tlie United States. A
Scotchman named Angus McPherson, at present in tho city,
can relate experiences which he
passed through on that Island,
one would scarcely believe to be
possible in the nineteenth century, He was sent out from
Glasgow by the Thompson Iron
company tu put up a sugar refinery iipim a plantation in Ihe
southeastern portion of the Island. Those more southerly
provinces nre given up almost
exclusively to the production of
sugar, and are divided into largo
plantations with numbers of
slaves—criollos and bozales,
When llie insurrection broke oyl
a couple of years ago this was
the headquarters of the insurgents, MoPherson and three
other foreigners wore captured
one day by the native police, who
proved to have joined the insur
gents, and it was only by enlist
ing in tliat army they were able
to save their lives. Being inech
nines they were employed sharp
oning tlie machets or long knives
Villi which every Cubali is armed,
und repairing old rilles and muskets of all kinds, "just the kind
lo start a museum on." Not only
that but ho was forced to assist
in raids upon plantation of the
Spaniards, where everything
was. destroyed without delay.
All Ihe country occupied by Ibe
iiisiirgents is desert, and of the
lower classes many are starving.
While MoPherson was in Ihe
c.iinp under Antonio Maceo, the
commander of the insurgents
army, an expedition of B50 regular Spanish troops was iiiinoun
ceil lu be marching against Ihem
Maceo, whose force was fully
seven or eight hundred, divided
his men into seven parties and
stationed Ihem on each side nhuij.

It rod a volley at them, lied down

i ildiers pursued them and before
Ibey were aware of their daiigei
the hidden force almost iinuihil-
llled the whole parly. Thosi
who escaped passed on down flu
bed of ibe stream and swum
across ibe river Into which it
juiued, The dond men wore
snipped of tholr uniforms and
arms, while all llie private pro-

the spoil of those wdio got then

Hie imgagoinonl ot lbe day, Tin
Cubans are grout gamblers and
drunkards, their drinks being ol
such a nature as lo require for
ihoir reception a cast iron stomach : and Ihey will steal aiiylliln

I,|.|y,      "They  have  one   good
trait, however," said Mr. McPhor-,
son, "they will divide their last
piece of bread with you, even if
they do steal it from you live
ninutos afterwards."
"Both insurgents and Spaniards have a very neat and very
Cuban-like way of disposing of
mse prisoners against whom no
charges can be proven, but who
are better oul uf Ihe way. They
imply take you out to the edge
of tho village and say, '' Now rim
for it." and when you rim they
calmly shoot you down as an escaping prisoner, and justice is
justified."
Mr. McPherson and a Germain
who was witli him escaped by
seizing a steam launch belonging
to the Alphonso XIII, on board
of which a big iiosta was in progress, and steaming out into tho
open sea. They were picked up
on the second day by au American vessel and landed in Mexico
" I was getting S-lu a week then,
said Mr. McPherson, "but it
would take a good many §15 to
induce me to go back thoro
again."
■• That would be a good place
for you reporters," remarked
Mr, MoPherson : for he is very
averse to having his name appeal'
in print. "You would survive
about live seconds after your
business was known." The re
porter assured him that such
would make a good article ought
lo be worth at least a column—
and asked if there wore any insects in Cuba. He evidently
struck- the right spot, for the
stranger from Cuba became eloquent, "Insects?" said he:
"well. I should say so ! There
is an insect in Cuba of the spider
kind which gets under your toe
nails and into your feel, not on
tho outside, but right into tlio
flesh : and may be they don't
itch." Tlie reporter attempted
to change the subject. "Then
there's mosquetos, like bunibli
bees, and all sorts of bugs, kinds
and vermon, besides lizards and
snakes."
•■ I think tho Cubans will win.'
said Mr. McPherson, in answer
to a Iinni question, "They are
supported by many privately,
and by thousands in tho United
Stales. Havana, ami Ihe safer
portions of Cuba, so lhat Ihey
have no lack of means. Antonio
Maceo's army now amounts to
between 1.5,000 and 20,000 men."

Iinni any bond of free trade.
There can be no doubt about it
lhat if Ihe United States was to
adopt a silver basis tomorrow
British trade would be ruined
before the year was out. Every
American would be protected, not
only at. home, but in every other
market. Of course: the' United
(States would suffer to, a certain
extent through having to pay
her obligations abroad in gold,
butIho loss of exchange under
this head would bo a mere drop
in the bucket as compared to the
profit to be reaped from the markets of South America and Asia,
to say nothing of Europe. The
marvel is that the United States
has not long ago seized tlie uj
portunity. It has been a piece
of luck that it has never occurred
lo the Americans to scoop us out
of the world's markets by going
on a silver basis, and it might
serve ns right if. irritated by llio
contemptible apathy of our government toward the silver problem, the Americans retaliated by

The Rosslander is able to state
authentically that the sale of the
War Eagle and Iron Mask lo
London parties was, after many
delays, finally consummated in
Spokane on Friday last. When
the papers making the transfer
were signed. The sale is not altogether on tlie terms of O. C.
Corbie, bond, though Mr. Corbin
is interested in the sale.
The sum paid, or terms of ihe
sale, are not yet made public,
nor is anything said of the plan
likely lu be adopted, in the working of ihese properties, but it is
inl.inial.ed lhat it will be on a
much larger scale than heretofore, und that probably smelting
and refining works will bo estab-.
dished on or near ihe site, to. render unnecessary the heavy
charges for hauling the ore, The
investment of so much British
capital at one deal in Trail creek
district means tliat more will
follow, and that British Columbia
mines may be said to bo almost
sure to occupy tho attention of
London men of means, as South
Africa and Western Australia
have in limes past. The important thing is that only good
minus bo placed on lite market.

The signs of a boom in British
Columbia are getting stronger.
New companies are being registered every day. and in most
j cases the cloven hoof is clearly
visible to one who knows the
promoter system as carried on
in Loudon. Here is some advice
10 the owners of mines and claims
in British Columbia. Never sell
a mine or a prospect to a London
company for anything else but
cash., and never deal with a London promoter unless you know
iti.s record, iiy following these
rules, probably nine-tenths of
the business would be choked oil
a! once, a tantalising state of
a flairs Tor the owner of the prospect, but such a course will be
belicr in the end, for he Will
still at least own his property, whereas, if he deals in
any other way he will soon lind
that he has neither his mine or
his cash,
