Miss Beatrix Hamilton, accompanist and recita- tionist, gave the best of satisfaction in the former, but as a reader she speaks as a rule too fast to be always understood. Little Miss Lcis Winlow as a 'cello performer scored a hit. Her solos and obligatos wore much enjoyed by tlio music loving audience.

Hamilton Byers, ��� the enterprising hardware merchant of this city, this week secured the contract" to furnish all the hardware to he used in tho construction of the concentrator now being built by tho Whitewater Mines, Ltd. The first shipment has already been made. This contract was secured in eompotitlon with a number of other bidders, and speaks well for the ability of local merchants to handle orders of any size. Dr. W. A. Hendryx of Los Angoles, Cal., who built the Pilot Bay smelter, ami who still has large mining Interests in Kootenay, passed through Kaslo Wednesday ou his way to Inspect the Last Chance mino which joins tbe Noble Five, and of which he ls a part owner. Quito an agreeable surprise was in store for him at the mine, as Superintendent Frank Wood had just st ruck two feet of clean galena ore in Uie No. 4 tunnel, 110 feot below No. .1. Tlii- inn!.es about tbo best showing for depth iu tho Slocan. I On Monday tho city council met in special session at 8 p. in. to vote once more on letting the contract for construction of the new city building. D. J. McLachlun of Sandon, the lowest bidder, was on hand to state that if he got the work, Kaslo would have the preference in furnishing tbe men and materials. On a ballot two triumvirates of last week were found to be still Intact. The mayor and AldbrmAh Whiteside and J. V. Moore voted to let it to Mr. McLachlan atit1$n, and Aldermen Hartin, Archer'and Goodenough still favored the home contractor, Mr. D. C. McGregor, whose bid was slightly higher than Mr. McLachlaln's. Unless a break is n*,ade or Alderman D. W. Moore recovers sufficiently soon to vote aud break the deadlock, the construction of the much needed municipal building, looks rather remote. No quotum was present Wednesday afternoon, bo that the regular weekly meet- in,' of the council wa. not held. it go tor. 166,000, the purchase price, if a deal was to be made over again." As soon as the papers were signed, the new owners set a force of men at work nnd built, a good pack trail to the property. A bunk house and blacksmith shop were then put up, and work ou the claim begun in earnest. It was found iu the assessment work done by the locators that the load was broken over, the tunnel having gono through 50 feot of good ledge matter and then striking it further in. Accordingly, it was decided to drift in to cross-cut the ledge at a lower depth, and this work is now in progress, tiie force having progressed about 25 or 80 feet. It is estimated that the ledge will be reached at a distance from the mouth of the tunnel of about J00 feet, wbere the ore body will then have a vertioal depth of nearly 125 feet. Three shifts of men are employed, under Mr. Stevenson aa foreman, and the progress is nearly two feet dally. A notable fact is that every man employed oa the True Blue is au enthusiast in regard to the property, and they are all ol** timers and experienced mining men. As soou as the ledge ls reached It is probable that some drift ing will oe 'done to further demonstrate the extent of tbe oro body. According to the terms of the boeri, itli returns from ore shipped are to be placed in bank here to the credit of the vendors. It ist therefore, a foregone conclusion, tbat when tbe depth and pormknantfe of the ore body is demonstrated, the buyers will pay up the .otlre amount of the bond and get a deed to tbe property. This Is the program mapped out, and it wHi no doubt bo carried tfrough. Mr. Orols- dalo, manager of tbe Hall .Minns r*__ett- KASI.O'S MILITIA HOYS SWORN IN. .lohn I*.

There was considerable swearing done In town last Monday evening, bul itwasnotof tha profane variety that parsons usually take such strong exceptions to. lt was all done in one room, and that room was the MoGregtJT building. Pursuant to the notice sent out by Capt. Reid, the members of tlio newly organized Kusl" Itille company met and subscribed ti. neoath of allegiance to the sovereign, and considered several business matters. Thirty-seven young mon signed tlie ollicial roll tbat evening, which had been sent from Victoria by Lieut, -Col. Peters for that purpose. As so.ni lithe other eight names are attached the roster of tho company will bo complete, which will doubtless bo doneshorlty. The three commissioned ollicers are Captain George D. Field, First Lieutenant W. J. Twiss and Second Lieutenant John P. Yrooin, the latter being elected at Monday's meeting, ln addition there will be six non-commissioned officers���three sergeants and three corporals. Ten names of members have been recommended fur these. bIx positions and tbe officers will get together and appoint them from among those suggested. Another meeting has been called for this evening, and a full attendance on the part of the members is requested. The city council has expressed its willingness to allow the rifle company to use a part of tbe basement of the new city building when completed as an armory, and tho matter of n suitable drill hall is also under consideration.

A further statement I know to bo fale is bo the offoi '. 'that a boat in charge of Phil McDonald followed us all tlio way from camp; but notwithstanding this we were forced to carry our blankets 18 mi: :-.'

Among tlie most gratifying results of such splendid examples of bravery ns those of Admiral Dewey and Lieut. HobSOfl Is ihe effect they have had upon the spirit of the navy generiilly. No more conspicuous examples of skin and personal courage have lieen furnished lu any war than have been presented during our own; and while every mnn connected with them bus proved himself a hero, there Is supreme grntltlra- tion in ilie fuel that all has been ueeom- pllslied without the sacrifice of a single life. The effect has been to Inspire the whole navy with u spirit of patriotism nud courage. The denth of Samuel l'tlinsoll, "the tailors' friend," shows what oue man's determined activity and devotion to duty can accomplish, His whole life wns devoted to reform und particularly to the doing nwny of the abuse of overloading vessels and sending them out in an unseaworthy condition. He labored In private and lu Parliament for thla object and wrote books and Pamphlets calling attention to It. For yenrs he was opposed by the greedy shipping Interests nud hampered by the Indifference of public officials, but he lnliored on itnd'.scoiirnged nnd at last success crowned his Indefatigable efforts. He' took no part In politics except as connected wltn his special mission and wus regarded In some quarters ns a crunk, but It la to be set down to his credit that by his persistence and enthusiasm he achieved the great work of reforming the British shipping laws and protecting the lives of seamen. Such a life was heroic, well rounded, and not spent lu vain. If tbe Philippine Islands are to become part of the United States their acquisition wlll probably cause quite a radical change In our trade relations. Heretofore tbe main article of Import from tbe Philippines has been hemp.

The Manila tobacco Is Justly celebrated the world over, and is rated next to the finest Havana. That tobacco, however, Is controlled by n Spanish monopoly! nud very little of it ever reaches the .United States. While millions of dollars' worth of tobacco and sugar are sent to Kurope by the Span* lards ln the Philippines, American markets nre practically closed against them. The United States Imported only $3,000 worth of Manila tobacco last year. "Why should not all of that tobacco crop come here next yenr? Another thing, we buy a good deal lu the Philippines, but sell little tliere. lt Is proposed to make it a market for our goods, iu the future. The United States tuny not Inaptly lie likened to the young lady who has "come out" into society. During the period of her teens she has been kept In the seclusion of the home nnd Jealously guarded by parental cure and oversight from too close contact with the world. Arriving at the age of discretion and able to look about and judge for herself, she "comes out" In society nnd goes forward, conquering nud to conquer. The United States has hud a similar experience. It has spent Its young duys within the home nnd refrained from going out Into the world. It has been educating Itself nnd learning the ways of the world. It hus been preparing Itself to throw off Its hermit gnrb and abandon lta habits of Isolation and to step out Into the open ft-s an Imperial nnllou come of age and conscious of Ils strength and resources, it has come out luto the society of the nations. Admiral Dewey presenting It to them on thnt fatuous Mayday morning far nwny hi the Philippines, not with roses and llllea but witli shot and shell, not with waltzes and two steps but with the diapason of cannon, flrliu shot-*: beard round the world anil announcing to that world the advent of a new tnember In the society of the nations whose voice and Influence are to lie felt in the councils of those nations, The war with Spain was undertaken In tbe cause of Justice, humanity, freedom nnd national righteousness. No one drentned It would go beyond that, but Dewey's glorious victory unveiled a new future for this country. It has ended its hermit life. It hns dissipated trnslltlons. broken flown .precedents. Inaugurated new Ideas nud new policies, and expanded republican jurisdiction, It has brought new Issues to the front. It hns placed the country In a position where foreign nations must eon-side:' It ns a factor In all Imperial projects. Politically. Industrially and commercially it has become suddenly aggressive. Hitherto iu an Isolated position. It has been a matter of Indifference what Ku- ropean powers might do. Now It la i, mal ter of Importance that we should know who are our friends among them, and we nre rapidly finding out. We have discovered that la belle France, to whose enrichment we have Ik'cii ihe largest contributor, Is the friend of Spain; that Austria would gladly help Spain openly If it dared; thnt Ucrmany. notwithstanding tbe presence In this country of thousands upon thousands of good and patriotic German citizens, hns not boon well disposed to us; that ltussia has been coldly neutral: nud that the one power of all others from whom we hnd smallest reason to expect friendliness. Oreat Britain, has proved Itself our stanch friend nnd stands ready lo help ns physically or financially In case any other European nation shall Interfere in fnvor of Spain. And this country will not forget this friendly utlltude of ("rent Britain. It ls one of the compensations of the war that we hnve discovered our real friends, nnd tlint In coming Into the society of the nations we know whom we can trust. There have been already many compensations In thla wur. short ns It hns lieen. It has removed the last vestige of Internal prejudice nnd sectionalism and lias solidified and unified our own country. It hus revolutionized our hermit policy and sent ua out into tbe company of the'world. It hns dls- covered our reel friends. If there had been no other outcome these results would have been richly worth all thaf the war will cost. Bad Digestion, Bad Heart. Poor digestion often onuses irregularity of tbe heart's action. This irregu- latity may be mistaken for real, organic, heart disease. Tlie symptoms are intioh the same. There is however a vast difference between the two: organic heart disease is often incurable; apparent heart disease is curable if good digestion he restored. A case in point is quoted from the New Era, of Ureenaburg, Ind. Mra. Ellen Colaom, Newpoint, Ind., a ivoinan 43 yeais old, had suffered for four years with distressing stomach trouble. The gases generated by the indigestion pressed on the heart, and caused ' an irregularity of its action. She bad muoh pain in her stomach and heart, and was subject to frequent and severe choking spells whicli were most severe at night. Doctors were tried in vain; the patient became worse, despondent, and feared impending death. A Cane nf Heart Failure, She was mtich frightened, but noticed tbat in intervals in which her stomach did not annoy her, her heart's action became normal. Reasoning correctly that lit-1 digestion was alone ut lanlt 8ho procured the proper medicine to treat that trouble ami with immediate good results. Her appetite name back, the choking spells became less frequent and tiually ceased. Her weight, which ; had been greatly reduced waa restored and she now weighs more than for years. Her blood soon became pure und ber cheeks rosy. The case is of general interest because the disease is u very common one.

The evacuation of the city by the Spanish troops, who are now prisoners of war to be shipped back to Spain, will greatly simplify the situation. It is thought that tlie Cuabns under (Ieneral Calixto Garcia, who have done some good work in the campaign, can be entrusted with the general administration of affairs in the surrendered territory. They would, of course, at least for the present, act under the direction of a United States military governor, who would hold Santiago city with a garrison of Unitod States troops. These could be stationed on the hills about the city, where water is plentiful even in midsummer, and where there is no danger of fever. Two or three regiments, it is believed, would be ample for garrison purposes. OLD GLORY OH SANTIAGO. Fo Posaeaaloa Taken of the Firat Cuban City.

He says: "1 lttive seen over 600 colors to the pan taken from the Graveyard claim and the Alma K. and Funny Boy adjoining," said Mr. Slocum last evening. "These properties are on Rogers' Bar on tne Columbia opposite the mouth of Hunter creek and about l.*> to 18 miles, 1 can't say exactly, above the mouth of thc Spokane river.

Tiiwasllr Deelalun. I-isl week in the Spokane land oflice ��� decision was rendered which settled an important question regarding settlement on the townslte of Republic. The decision in effect is that the locutions of the Tessie und Delaware claims sit true mill- eiul claims, thus destroying the contention of the contestants that the claims are made for the purpose of townwtc purposes rather than for legitimate mining. Tho decision, while not large in its direct effects, is far reaching indirectly, for this was regarded as a test case on which a number of other cases hang. Ever since the location of the Republic and the filing of a number of mineral locations, protests and contests have lieen piling up in the local hind ollice, alleging that many claims were filed for towniste purposes, the land then filed on being more vulu- uhle for mineral purposes than for town- site purposes. After hearing the esse thc local land oflice officials granted a motion to dismiss on tihe ground that tlie contestants did not show that the land in question was not a mineral claim and the contestants could obtain title to under Ihe mineral laws. The contention that the surface showings were meagre was not upheld for the experience of the camp is that depth must be attained to secure high values. Le Hal Resumes Skipping.

SI'OKAM*: HANKS AM) CANADIAN MONEY. Now Is l ho timo for the Bank of British Columbia to put in a branch nt Spokane, TJie great volume of innl- tiivs carried on. between Spokane and the Kootenays nepessilates the bundling of t 'ntiadlan I'tin-cnvy by the Spi-* band banks tn tlie extent of ubout half ii million dollars monthly. Tlie action of thc Spokano banks, in ilisi-ountti',;' this large volume of money 2 per,cent. will sattse a loss of trom 5.7,000 to UIO.-OOO a month to tho business interests of British Columbia, be- .iiljs having a tendency to discourage international iranHe. There is no sound reason for this move, as the credit of thu Canadian batiks ia. as a whole, far superior to those of .Spokano,. The statement by Spokaae bankers to* .the effect tbat the new revon uo law is responsible for this ���o"i>, '�� only <a pretext, and has no bearing ��on the subjoct whatever. Aa a matter of fact, it is due solely to one of those inexplicable moods of jealousy of British Columbia's advancement which son letimes envelope tbe banking fraternity across the line. Owing lo this move on the part of tbo Spoka ne ba aka, it becomes vitally essential to tho business interests of British Ci ilumbia that a strong Canadian bank be established in Spokane to keep dc wn the rapacity of American banks. Ii.i addition to this, it would be an act of kindness to the people of Spokane lo furnish them an absolutely safo depos itory for their funds. EDITORIAL COMMENT. With a four-colum rooster and a bIx inch broom on its first pagu the day, aftor ejection, the Daily Province; seemed to think that the Opposition had received a quit-claim deed to the earth and the fulluesa thereof. Mr,. Nichol evidently believed that at last had coma tbe realization of the motto ao long co tried at tbe head of tbe old green-coviored weekly Province ��� "A province I ivill givo thee." -If this province of British Columbia should, with the final stoppage of the political wheel, be unfortunate enough to fall ir.to the bands of the Opposition, tbey have yot to prove their cohesive force and ability to conduct its affairs. Quod erat demonstrandum. for the better .urn, Kootonay will become famous for its wet summers, as well as for Its marvellous auriferous and argentiferous deposits. Some one should give a hint to the clerk of tho weather. Theyre has Ijeon a mix-up botween the muse and the biusz-anw at Sandon, aod the .*esult le a poem in the Sandon Min/ng Review- dedicated to Bepreson- tative-^ect (ireen. Between tbe two Mr. Green is much cut up. The Turner Government should lose no time in stamping out the weeds of socialism and anarchy which have secured such rank growth In this Province .Qf late. Falsehood and misrepresention is still the loog��ult with the Opposition. Old Fapera 'for Sale. Several thousand old papers for sale at this oflice at 50c per bundled. When the Pilot Bay smelter starts up again it, will be operated in full blast in all departments. This, however, wilVnot be until the new Crow's .Nest I'ass line is completed and in oj>- eration to Kootenay lake, so that coke and coal can bo laid down in unbroken car loads at reasonable figures. From present indications this mnch-to-be-de- sired event will occur some time in tlie fall. In this way another benefit of this new lino will be ,'elt along the lake in a short time. It would seem as though any sane man could see tho absolute and positive hopelessness of Spain in its struggle with the United States, and that Premier Sagasta would sue for poace at once on. almost uny old terms. But then, some nations are like some men, ��� .- in that tbey do not know when they have a genteel 'sufficiency, and only realize it when, notsouly power and influence, but their much vaiihte.d honor are numbered among the things that wei'o. Fresh fables are boing wafted In by wire from the coast re' the millions in gold dust already brought out of the Klondike this year. There Is a strong suspicion, amounting almost to a cer* t'afhty, that the transportation compan. ios are again devoting themselves to the art nf promulgating misleading statistics. But President Lincoln's well worn saying fits the case precisely " i"ou iannjt fool all the people all the time." Ka-lo's new ir.llkla company is fast getting into condition to fight���if a foe. should have the iccklossness to present Itself. Wilh tbe regulation complement of officers and men sworn in, all it lacks.now is the fighting machines. Tbo flcwerof the young men of ihe olty iB enrolled and tho compny will compare favorably in personnel with any other In the province. If things o'lmatio do oot change ���tiiHELY TOPICS. The Dominion government is'sald to have notified the C. P. R. that in cases on tho Crow's Nest railway construction whero contractors failod to ruoet their obligations to workmen regarding wages, the company will bo held liable. The annexation of , Hawaii, the Americanization' ofthe Philippines and the partitioning of China,according to thc Colonist, furnish the material for a tremendous drama, which the Pacific ocean will witness in the near future. We may not be able to foresee bow the "action" will be shaped, but tbat the English speaking world will play a very large part in it is certain above everything else. The effect upon Canada, and especially British Columbia, will be very great. San Francisco has experienced a novel result of the war. As evory ono knows, the copper cent is in very ill ro- puto all along the coast. No one wants to take cents in change for anything. California's lowist currency or.eo was the quarter of a dollar, then the "bit" became the minimum, and finally the nickel five eont piece obtained a foothold. The new war taxes havo necessitated tho extensive use of one cent stamps. For instance, a telegram cannot be sent or a check cashed without a cent stamp being affixed. This has brought cents into use, and experience shows that when they once get a footing they hold it, When the eon of a laboring man, saya an exchange, goes forward under his officers' orders into the trenches of the enemy, where almost certain death awaits him, and is shot or sabred to pieces, nothing ia thought about' it. Laboring men'a sons, in the J-'"'1' of the private soldier, have done that sort of thing for agos. Bun when the lily- handed, pampered male offspring of the millionaire does the same thing and is shot, poets (who should also be shot) runt about it 'in tbe daily press, and editorials by the yard draw attention to the fact. Why cannot millionaires' sons be shot quietly? ui ii. foregoing, the foiiuwini; ban mid dividends na follows; Payne. $ 1 l8dtr,ooo|Koble Five..., 40,000 bucun War.... ���WCCwOjUoodonui'./ls... 82,000 Ruth 300,000;Wiisliingtoii... 2(1,000 Reco 2S7,S00!Jai-k9on 20,00i) Ramhler-i/Hrl.. 40,000 Surprise HO.OQO Besides tbo foregoing-, other minus, unstock- ed, have paid dividends as follows: Idaho �� 240,000 Whitewater... 194,000 Slocan Boy.... 25,000 Last Chance... 37,000 Antolne 35,000 Monitor 16,000 Following Is a comparative statement of ore ���hipped from parts ofthe Slooan and Ainsworth mining districts, passing through tbe custom house at Kaslo to foreign smelters for the Ave recorded months of 1895, all-Of 1896 andl 897: Year. 1895 (6 months)., 1896 (12 months). l��tfr!M,montii��..

The following changes in the British Columbia mining laws should be carefully studied by thosy interested in milling-in this Province; First of these refers to tho location of fractions.* In all fractions surveyed ft'omtiow on, whether staked correctly or not,* the surveyor may adopt the bouniVdry lines of the surrounding claims, provided/no Bide exceeds lflOO feet in length. In oilier words, th.o locator is entitlpd.tp tho vacant ground that ho claims, even If lu: does not stake it it, *uch.a'iinanj)ler as to include it till, whit 11 he aeldqth does. By a recent decision of the courts a prospector loot a claim because of inability to aeouiv tbe post necessary to murk the location. The amendment provides that in cases where .'.Taints are staked above,the timber line, or the prospector can not secure the necessary posts, he may erect monuments of earth or stone. . /. ,. In staking an extension the posts arc often planted so as to form a weflgo- shape fraction between two ends of1 tho two claims. Theae fractions have often incurred great expense, not only in recording and surveying, bt^t in canes, where they carry the lead, and thus become of such value as to promote litigation. The amended act authorizes the surveyor to Include such fraction, provided h does not cover more than 51.05 acres, the area of a full claim, and provided further that two location posts are together. By failure to record assessment work within tho required period of one year,- either through oversight or tho mlo- undor8tandin_- of partnership interests, valuable claims have been lost. Now, if a prospector fails to record the work within a year, he has 30 duys' additional time in whiolj to mako the reoor.d by payment of an extra DUO, provided that the work Is done within the year; Another change regarding the os- sessment work is in that particular which called for work to the amiHjnf of $100 eaoh year. Now, n minor can do and record as many assessments as he pleasos in a year by paying the recording fee for each assessment done to the extent of 9100. >.', ��� In case anybody-should, adverse an application for a certificate of improvement and crown grant, the contestant must have his claim surveyed Immediately and file a plan made and signed by an authorized provincial land surveyor with the writ. To obtain a orown grant in 1890 it was necessary to do assessment work to tho amount of 1600 and to have the claim surveyed, whloh meant another ���100. In 1897 tne act was amended ao aa to provide tbat up 10 May 1,1898,the coat of such survey should count as work done on the claim, not to exceed $100. In plain English, it counted as an assesament and as work toward the crown grant. A survey generally costs $100. The last legislature extends the time to May 1,1898. Hereafter, In adverse proceedings in connection with the title to mineral olalms, before any court, each party to the proceedings shall give affirmative evidence of title. Heretofore the burden of proof was on the contestant. The fee for recording assessment work haa been reduced from $2.W.to $2.50. Heretofore the fee for recording assessments has been 25 cents higher than other fees. Anybody who pulls down a legal post erected to mark a boundary op location of a mineral claim, or any writing by law required to be thereon, is liable to Imprisonment for six months or a lino of $250, or both. This la supposed to be directed particularly toward preventing the use of old posts by people who restake a claim arid aometimes de- itroy evidence* of ��p..or location. KA8I.O, B.C.

About 15 men are now working on> the Ivanhoe, wliich number will b'e.in-[ creased in a short, time. > Now that berries q.re.,ripening all over the hills, a profitable occupation! has opened up for the sipall boys ol- Kaslo. The K. & S. expect to begin the run ning of a regular dally freight trainj -shortly, to accommodate the increas-1 ing business. E. A. Harris, who is representing the R. T. Williams directory of Victoria, was gathering names and statistics in the city this week. George E. Keefer, last year chief engineer on the proposed Nelson & Bed- ling line, spent Sunday In the city, departing for tbe coast on Tuesday. Messrs. Cockle & Papworth are remodelling the front of the brick store adjoining their hotel, which will be used as a modern, up to date billiard parlor when completed, Twenty men are at work on the Last Chance, and all of the ore houses and tunnels are full of the precious stuff taken out in tho course of development Some 400 tons will be shipped shortly. Plastering has begun on the Arcber- Hartin block, and tha e'htiro" work is being pushed as rapidly as possible. This now ornament to the city's archi- tectife will soon be ready for occupancy. Mojor John I. Barnes, of Ockonook, Idaho, jtlst across the boundary line, was in the city early in tho week, and was confident of thc building of the railway from Kuskonook to Bonner's Ferry this year. Georg6 ^liniolly wore tho happiest kind of a smile last Sunday morning, and modestly acknowledged congratulations on account of his wife having presented him with a ten-pound girl tbo evening.before. Many people are praying for the early recovery of Alderman D. W. Moore, that ho may break thedeadlock In tbo city council ovor the awarding of the contract for the construction of the new city building. Monday evening J. B. Wilson returned from a three weeks' visit to his family in Spokane. On his way back he visited the new mining oa'mp of Republic, where ho says things are a little quiet just at present. The Athabasca wagon road, near Nolson, has been completed, and the lirst car load of machinery for the new mill is being hauled to tbe mine. Shipping has been suspeuded during the Installation improvements. .las. H, Piper, who recently went into the White Grouse raountalu district with a force of -men for the Kaslo- Slocan Development Co., writes tbat be is agreeably surprised at the magnificent showing on tbo claims. Percy F. Godenrath, an old resident of this city, but now writing mining camps up for the Spokesman-Review, has been renewing acquaintances in town this week. He wlll give the Slocan thorough attontion before leaving this section. ' i Fifty men are now employed at the Whitewater mine, and the force wlll soon be Increased. The new concentrator will handle over 100 tons dally, and Manager Robertson states thnt thero Is enough oro In sight to keep It busy for at least two yeara to come. A avenue has lieen greatly Improved by the completion of a substantial six- foot side Ml k all the way up the hill, where It was graded through tbe cut recently. Residents of tbe hill will appreciate tbe walk, which now extends up as far as Washington street.

ARTILLERY WENT ON YALE Will Send Enough Men to Make tbe SlriiRRle Short���The Forces Wlll He < lilrfly JSew Men���Immunes Will Uarrlaon SuntiBKO. Washington, July 18.���The Puerto Ri- can expedition has started on its misaion to capture thmt island. (ieneral Miles, leatling the expedition, left Biboney, thiba, today on the Yale with four iMitteries of artillery and a few seaaoned troops. Two brigades, now at Charleston, are embarking today on (transports tti take them to Puerto Rico. All tlie force at TVnipa, 13,000 strong, embracing the artillery, will be put on board as rapidly as transports can be gotten there. tJeneral Brooke will 'take the flrst and second divisions of his corps from (Hiick- ainauga to Puerto Rico. Ueneral Brooke leavei here this afternoon for Chicka manga to get his troops started. It ia ex pected that the whole expedition will be under way witiiin tlie next four days. General Brooke had another conference with Secretary Alger with reference to the preparations for the expedition. The general report* hia army now ready and it ia believed they can be embarked at once. While the positive selection haa not been made it is understood that Newport News will be tlie port of departure of the larger part of the ex[ietlition. The army of occupation is expected to consist of about -.'i.lMlll men and it has been decided to take no chances of repeating the mistake made in Shafter's case, of landing with an insufficient force and then being obliged to lie idle at a critical moment awaiting reinforcements. Thc employment of an overwhelming force is also expected to save bloodshed. 1.title- Resistance Expected. Very little resistance is expected to the invasion of Puerto Hico. The war oflice has full information as .to the condition and forces of the Spaniards in San J nan, and lselicves they will not long be able to resist the American attack. Under the fire of Admiral Sampson's guns the army will affect a landing somewhere in the vicinity of San Juan. While the army attacks from the rear, the navy wili shell San Juan from the ocean. Under tlie combined tire it is not expected that the town will hold out long. Using San Juan as a base, the army will commence the invasion of Puerto Rico. Here our troops will only have the Spaniards to contend with, and not the yellow fever. Investigation with respect lo the climatic conditions at San Juan has convinced the officials that there would be practically no danger to our troops there from yellow fever, which annually prevails in nearly all parts of Cuba. The city of San Juan, which is built on high ground, is said to be exceptionally clean for a Spanish town. The water is said to be good, and, all things considered, it is not believed that the present arrangement for the invasion of the island will be interfered with. Freeh Troops to Be Sent. The army for the invasion of Puerto Rico will be almost entirely composed of fresh troops from the United States. This means a radical change of policy on the part of the army, for it was expected that the movement against Spain's smaller possessions in the West Indies would he made by regiments now engaged in the Santiago campaign. The government relied on the expected seasoned character of the Santiago troops, and it could not be foreseen that the health of the men would become so impaired in the short campaign In southeastern Cuba as to render therm unfit for duty in Puerto Rico. It is the present intention of the war department to send one army corps from the' Florida coast to participate in the Puerto Ricen cam paign and to maintain the Fifth corps under Ueneral Shafter in Santiago province for the present. At least two regiments of immunes will be sent, to garrison the oity of Santiago. The president and secretary of war are disinclined to use more men than absolutely necessary from Santiago in the Puerto Rico campaign, on account of the danger of spreading yellow fever. Wilson ta Head First Division. Major Oeneral J. H. Wilson has a heady been instructed to prepare for the Puerto Rico expedition at once. He is now at Charleston, 8. ('., and he will go at Hie head of the first division of the First army corps, with the first troops started for Puerto Rico. ALL CAME OUT WITH GOLD. Twenty Miners From Dawson Reach Victoria. Barcelona 1'anle-Strlck.en. London, July 16.���It ia announced in a special dispatch from Barcelona that the inhabitants of that city are panic- stricken. They believe the Americana will select defenseless Barcelona as tfie point to bombard. Ihe local ha.iks are removing their specie to the country, the merchants sre sending their goods to places of safety and many French sre leaving. The governor of Barcelona has Informed tbe people that they can not expect help from the government At the Jersey lily mine, in Arizona, a log shooting down a steep incline was ignited by friction, and before the Are bunted out about 200,000 feet of mining timber wss consumed. Victoria, B. C, July 16.���Thc steamer Cottage City, which touched here last night on her way to Seattle from Alaska, had on board 20 miners from Dawson City with about three-quarters of a million dollars in gold dust and drafts, mostly the latter. They came up the Yukon river in a steamer to White Horse rapids, where they transferred to a Lake Bennett steamer. -They say banking accommodations in Dawson are now so good that there ia no necessity of men bringing out money in any other form than drafts. Thc most of the gold will come out by way of St Michaels. Those believed to have the most money on the Cottage City are the four Butler brothers of Ellsworth, Minn. The eldest went in three years ago, the other three last year. They have cleaned up a large amount on Bonanza creek, 24 A, 68 B and 23 A. They sold claims to an English syndicate represented by McFar- land and H. M. Coleman, the latter of whom came down tonight The price obtained cannot he learned, but Coleman is authority for the statement that it waa a very large one. All the men on board were reticent, saying the imposition of the royalties causes them to refuse to state the full amount of money brought out. Several of them have been working only on "lays." The only boats that have yet reached Dawson from down the river are the Hamilton, Weare, Bella, May West and Victoria. Among the Cottage Oity passengers are Phil Dobson of Los Angeles, Henry Chen- ey of Rochester, N. Y., Miller and Vines of New York state. All have money variously estimated at from 110,000 to 950,000 each. ITEMS FROM THREE STATES.

Wheat Crap el Thla Year. liondon, July 17.���The Statist today says that it think* the world's wheat crop for 1898 will be 45.000,000 quartan larger than tbe crop of 1807, reaching about 325,000,000 quarters. Continuing, the Statist aay*: "We think America has entered upon a period of great prosperity which will last for years if no great folly is committed. We hope the republicans will have the patriotism to resist the politician* and refute to allow unwise currency legislation. The Spectator is of tlie opinion tbat the whole European press, with the Time* at its hesd, ia discussing the reasons which make for peace from a mistaken point of view.' One of the largest hay crops ever raised in Washington county, HI., will be harvested next week. Ths yield of wheat is not over nine bushels to the acre, and the grain is light. The 94000 bonds voted by school district No. 36 (Garfield) were sold to Morris A Whitehead of Portland, Or. The bonds bear 0 per cent interest, payable 91000 six yeara after date of issue and 91000 each year afterward. The bid of Morris A Whitehead was 94087.75 for the Issue. The lata rains, more particularly the copious shower of July 13, are of incalculable value to the farmer and the country in general. Within a radius of 10 miles of Cheney the crops never looked better. The straw is long and heavy and the grain kernels are filling out nicely. Harvesting of fall wheat begins this week. Many fields will go 40 bushels to the sere. Oats and barley are all right Most of the potato fields have recovered from the setback caused by the lata frost The prospects for fruit of all kinds sre flattering. The harvest has never begun so early as this year, around Colfax, and it will continue until very late, as there is much wheat which is now only a few inches high, and will not be ready to cut before October. ���' The prospects all over the county are excellent, and sale* of harvesting machinery are larger than ever before in this country. All lines of business sre exceptionally good, especially the trade in lumber, ss an unusual amount of building ia being done in the country. During the past few day* several United States army engineers have been at Port Townsend making preparations for commencing the work on the Point Wilson fortifications. It is said that the construction of these forts will not be let by contract, but sll the work will be done by the government under the supervision of army engineer*, and that the work will be commenced about the 16th of the present month, as all complication* relative to obtaining title to the land required in the fort limits have been fixed, 940,000 having arrived recently and will be used in paying awards of the condemnation proceedings. At the meeting of the Yakima Wool Growers' Association it waa decided to try to induce the county comm.s_.oner* to offer a bounty on coyotes, the association stating that they will be willing to pay the same as the county for scalps. Tbe association also appointed a committee consisting ot Messrs. Clemens, Peat- rosa, Wright and 8am Cameron to appear before the board of equalisation and endeavor to have the assessed valuation of sheep reduced. The assessor has assessed their flocks at 92.50 per head, which the growers deem excessive, in view of the fact that in Klickitat snd Kittitas counties 92 is the fixed valuation, while in Oregon it is but 91-60. Judge Carusi of Olympia who acted in the capacity of chief cleric of the house during the lest session of the legislature, has forwarded lo the governor a asmple of a mosquito mask, an invention of his, which he hopes to hsve adopted by the war department to protect the soldiers from the winged insects which sre so plentiful in Cuba and the Philippines. Idaho. Lemhi county hss contributed 9368.50 for the Idsho Omaha exposition fund. Hereafter sll barber shops in Lewiston will be closed on Sunday. Tbe barber* petitioned tbe council and were included under the ordinance. Mr*. 8. L. Cowan of Grangeville presented 13 etrawbettiee to tbe Free Pre**, raised in ber garden and weighing nine ounces. P. P. Shelby, president of the Southern Fruit Growers' Association, haa returned from a visit to eastern markets. He baa arranged with a Chicago firm to send to Idaho from California an expert packer to teach the gnawers bow to pack their fruit The Lepwai industrial school hss been formally turned over to Indian Agent Fisher and will hereafter be operated under bi* direction. Mr. Fisher will remain, a* heretofore, at the agency, aud ha* placed tbe active management of the ���chool in tne hand* of Dr. O. J. West, a* assistant superintendent. There will he no changes st tlie school, as fsr ss known, tbe transfer being merely a formal procedure. About midnight Thursday Are broke out in the Episcopal rectory at Pocatello and the building waa completely gutted. Rev. II. Murphy, the pastor, and hi* family lost all their furniture and clothing, the only thing saved being a part of hi* library. Two of Mr. Murphy's children were rescued with great difficulty. The Are was caused by the explosion of a small night lamp. Los*, about 92000; no insurance. Samuel Martin, clerk of the Indian agency, say* that 100 drafts from the treasury department, representing the balance of the Shelby interest payment have been received at tbe agency and are now being disbursed. The total of the drafts is about 96000. The payments for the next semi-annual payments bave been prepared, and he think* the department will hasten the issue of the drafts sad expects the payment to be made within six weeks or two months. The weather and crop conditions of the Moscow section aa reported by the United 'States climate and crop service are ns followa: The weather of the post week was somewhat colder than the normal; the days were comparatively warm and the nights very cool. Light frosts occurred in scattered localities all over the state on several dates, but no appreciable damage to crops resulted. Tlie week was very dry, the rainfall being confined to a few widely scattered thunderstorms. High winds have been an important factor in drying out the soil, which is greatly in need of moisture. All irrigated crops are doing well, though the growth has not been aa rapid as during the previous week owing to cooler weather. Dry land ctopa are showing effects of drought, but are still in fairly good condition. Grain ia heading out and generally promises a heavy yield; potatoes are coming along nicely, with some of the early planted crop blossoming; garden truck is very satisfactory. Cutting of the first crop of lucerne was begun early in the week and is becoming general; the yield is good. All fruits are doing well; strawberries snd gooseberries are ripe and plentiful, and currants ripening. The ranges are fresh and green and stock doing well. Montana. Alonzo Cronkita of Winston is cutting his first crop of alfalfa, having about 30 tons already in bloom. P. I. Moule of Beroail has 90,000 pounds of woo], which will reach Billings in two or three weeks. A force of Mexican workmen sre busily engaged in shearing Commissioner Thompson's large band of sheep near Havre. Smith river valley will send out about 200 carloads of beef steers this fall, worth about 980,000 to the owners. J. A. Morse killed a large rattlesnake in hia yard at Glendive a few days ago.

Rev. Thomas E. Dickey of Kaliapell hss accepted s call to St Peter's Episcopal church at Virginia City. The plans snd estimates for a dam and irrigating ditches st Fort Belknap have been approved by the department Work will begin in the near future. When il is completed some 5000 seres of rich lsnd will be reclaimed. Probably the oldest freighter in Montana is Joseph Parrent, who has just brought a load of freight into Choteau. He ia 80 yeara old, and is bale and hearty. He is a French Canadian, and long, long ago was employed by tbe Hudson Bsy company. George Thompson, of the foothills near Boxeman, says that his loss occasioned by the recent high winds will be great. The storm best the hesds of hi* winter wheat crop together until a large amount of it gives promise of being worthless, except for chicken feed. The bond furnished by Walts A Recce in the matter of the contract for the construction of the arid land canal is for 960,000 snd the sureties, 20 in number, sre nil representative citizens and business men of Billings. They represent over s million dollars. 'The wagon bridge at Cody, recently completed by the Shoshone Irrigation Company and others interested, waa carried away by the high water a few days ago. One of the piers rested on a soap stone foundation and the pressure aguinat the pier caused it to give way. The bridge will be rebuilt and this time will be a suspension one. A large number of Flathead and Chinook Indians have just passed through Dupuyer on their way back to the Black- foot reservation. Tbey have with them several hundred head of cayuses. A* they are great horse racers snd gambler* they will return in a few weeks with double their herd or flat broke, probably the latter, as the Piegsn* hsve some pretty swift cayuses themselves. A moat unusual accident resulted in the loss of 06 head of cattle near Fort Benton, the other morning. A bunch of 110 cattle wa* put in a pasture Sunday evening, just across the Missouri from the Roosevelt island, snd from some cause or other the cattle became frightened and stampeded. They headed for a point overlooking a cut bank, and those at the front were forced over to the depth* below.

IE Will IP I BIS CERVERA IS OH PAROUS. Will Ship the Spanish Troops Next Week-Lost Twelve Hundred Men In Caba���ESacaped the Hnrricaae Season���Train Held Up In Kauaaaa. Washington, July 16.���The arms surrendered by the Spaniards at Santiago to General Shafter will be kept by the United States government. This conclusion reached late this evening by the president and Secretary Alger, was made public by the latter as he left hia office tonight for his home. "All those who hsve srms will turn them over to the government This is final." These were the secretary's words when asked for information. "And," he added, in response to further inquiry and to clear any doubt that might exist on the subject, "the rifles will not be returned to Spain." This decision no doubt haa already been communicated to General Shafter. Up tu Uie time when Secretary Alger's emphatio statement disposed of all doubt on the matter it was thought consideration might be given to the appeal of General Tore! that hia men might be allowed to take their arms. In fact, it waa said by a high department ollicial that the president would await Uie recommendation of the United States commissioners to the surrender, "before disposing of the question, especially as General Shafter had telegraphed the department that it was understood that the United States commission would recommend that the Spanish soldiers return to Spain with the arms they ao bravely defended." This decision of the president applies alike to Spanish soldiers who have not engaged with the United States troops ss well as those who have lieen participant* in the recent battles.

Washington, July 16.���Unless present plena miscarry the Spanish soldiers surrendered at Santiago will sail from Cuba for Spain on July 25���thi* date has been fixed by the war department and every effort will be bent toward expediting then- departure. It was announced today that tbe department had decided to ask for bids from steamship companies for tha transportation of the prisoners to their native land ind proposals will be issued next week. The contract, it is understood, will alao include the subsistence of the men during the voyage. Luckily for the navy Santiago haa capitulated just on the eve of the hurricane season in the Weat Indies. The big battleships are able to worry through t_4�� weather with little discomfort, but tbe smaller blockade boats will find the task of continuing the blockade fraught with positive danger. It is expected, however, to tighten the lines of blockade, at any cost, particularly at those ports connected with Havana by rail. The surrender of the eastern end of the island to the United States will afford some porta of refuge for our naval vessels in case of absolute need. Cervera on Parol*. Annapolis, Md., July 17.���Admiral Cervera and about 40 Spaniah oceffire were brought to this city yesterday and are now prisoners of war within tbe United States naval academy.

A good Mexican cook relieves the mistress of the house of worry and responsibility in a ninnner that is almost unknown in the United States. The cook is given so much a day, and with this amount she will purchase each morning all the provisions for the day, including even the staples that are usually bought in large quantities in other countries. On n dollar a dny a cook will provide a very- good table for a family of three or four, und get enough beans and tortillas and chile to set the servants' table besides. A War Hellc. In General Corbin's office at the war department is a section of the flagstaff from which lloated the Stars and Stripes over Fort Sumter when the garrison stationed tliere struck its colors, April 14, 1801, and left the fort in possession of the Confederates. The stuff was of yellow pine and the piece in General Corbin's office is about one foot long and nearly the same size in diameter. The I'se of Confederate Hills In I iulilio- (he World. "Kit! you ever know what has become of the greater pnrt of the Confederate paper money with wliich this country was Hooded some yenrs back?" asked a local business man. ''No! We 'A, neither did I until I struck Atlanta a few weeks ago. In that town I found an old man who makes a business of quietly gathering in all the Confederate banknotes he can And. You know thc stuff was issued by the ton during the war, and there is any quantity of it still floating around. When the old man gets a big bundle of the paper he sends it to Edison, the inventor, who pays a good price for it. Edison uses it to make carbon for incandescent lamps. The pti- per upon which the Confederate notes were "engraved was made of the pulp of the sea grass. This branch of the paper- making industry hns since become a dead art. Se.i-grass paper, when chemically treated by Edison, has been found +0 make the best sort of carbon for incandescent lights, nnd so there is always a demand for the Confederate bills." An immense sun dial, certainly the largest in the world, it at Hayon Horoo, a large promontory extending 3000 feet above the Aegean sen. As the sun swings around the shadow of this mountain it touches, one hy one, a circle of islands, which act as hour marks. Microscopic diamonds have been found in worn steel rails of the Northeastern Hallway Company in England that were being experimented upon to And out how much strength the steel had lost. Great iiritain's June was ushered in with snowstorms in Bedfordshire, Lancashire, ut. Edinburgh, and in County Limerick. The rest of the kingdom enjoyed heavy thunderstorms, with hail and sleet. France's now chamber of deputies includes a coal black negro from Quads* loupe, M. Legitimus, elected by a coalition of blacks and whites against tbe mulat- toes on the island. The heaviest projectile thrown by a first-class battleship is fnun a 13-inch gun and weighs 1150 pounds. The Gatling guns throw bullets weighing about three- tenths of sn ounce. A shower from the f.ntliiiu guiis soon clears the deck of an enemy's vessel. It is computed that the death rate of the world is 67, and the birth rate 70, a minute, and this seemingly light percentage of gain is sufficient to give a net in- s'rease in population each year of almost 1,200,000 souls. Rubber tires on a carriage add 25 per cent to the durability of the vehicle and decrease the cost of repairs 50 per cent. The reading of romance is forbidden by the Koran; hence popular talcs are never put in writing among Molrjiiiiiictlaus, but are passed from one story-teller to another. The outside walls of many of the houses in Mexico aro from three to six feet thick, to withstand earthquake shocks. In modern naval conflicts opposing vessels seldom come within two miles of each other until the vanquished vessel strikes her colors. On Independence Day, the Sons of the American Revolution presented President McKinley with resolutions indorsing his action in blotting out sectionalism by his war appointments. CONSULTING A WOMAN. Mrs. Pinkham's Advice Inspires Confidence and Hope. Examination by a male physician ls a hard trial to a delicately organized woman. She puts It off as long as she dare, and Is only driven to it by fear of cancer, polypus, or some dreadful Ul. .Most frequently such a woman leaves a physician's office where she haa undergone t> critical examin '*' with animprbt .on,more or less, t,t discouragement. This condition of the mlnddestroys the effect of advice: and she grows worse rather than better. In consulting Mrs. Pinkham no hesitation need be felt, the story ls told to a womnn and Is wholly confidential. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Moss., she offers siek women ber advice without charge. Her intimate-knowled-ge of women's troubles makes her letter of advice a wellspringof hope, and her wide experience and skill point the way to health. " I suffered with ovarian trouble for ceven years, and no doctor knew what ���was the matter with me. I had spells which would last for two days ormore. I thought I would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I have taken seven bottles of it. and am entirely cured."���Mrs John Foreman, 26 N Woodberry Ave., Baltimore. Md.
