States on Th������ following is from the Minneapolis Journal: , "The most absurb statements are appearing in the papers regarding, the naval strength of the United State_s 'and Spain,' and the speed and effectiveness of-the various ships in the two na'vies." This remark made by a Minneapolis man who knows what he is talking about, is simply verified by a little study , of some of the stories which are being published. The ararage American of course wants to believe that the navy of the United States is the best on earth and a" very little bragging on the part of some,correspondents sets the patriotism of ith'e reader throbbing through his veins!- It is "very delightful of the citi sens of Minneapolis to read how the cruiser namesake of the city is likely to make it hot for the "Vizcaya." It is easy to picture the doughty Minneapolis engaging a whole fleet of Spanish" warships and cruisers and coming out victorious���������because she is an American vessel. The ideas of the general reader are largely formed by newspaper statements and the inaccuracy of many of them, under the circumstances, \is to be de" ��������� plored. While national confidence and pluck are to be encouraged; it 'is ��������� unfortunate the American people at this time to have false impressions of the strength of the navy and coast 'defenses. A careful study of the true situation, even by a landsman in the centre of the continent, shows that .there are some very large holes in the American defenses. The true condition of affairs of course we'll known to, Presiden McKin-_ ley and his cabinet and their " conduct during the past few weeks is doubtless ��������� in large part due to their; intimate ac-, quaintance with the defects in; the de" fenses of the Atlantic and ,-Gulf coasts and shortages in the navy. To compare the Sparcish'and American navies] something, more must, be done, than to fo������t up the number of craft, the number men and the number of guns and compare the totals. And the compari" '���������--f:������onrby-"elasses"- which one fincls'in.-tlie _ cyclopedias'is. alsd rnteleading." '"A vessel jnust be put in the' first-class in the cyclopedia article and still be far the in" ferior of the enemy's vessel found in the next line. In the old days of the early part of the century when the American navy was in its first prime, a vessel might ��������� fight ono of twice its size and by sheer pluck and skill come out victorious. In those days the human element counted . for more than'the tonnage of the vessel or the number of guns. But to-day.,, the war crafts are fighting machines. It may be guest that the most successful naval officer in the coming war "will "be 'the.- one with the best scientific knowledge and the most thorough mechanical understanding of the great machines which he is called to direct. Just -what these great mashines will do when they get into a fight is also a matter of conjecture_ t,o a very large extent, but it is quite' definitely determined that the naval battles will be short and sharp and that there-will be little'of the old- ' time hand-to-hand fighting. At the same time there may be many surprises in store. . "^ " ���������, ��������� \- The companion of the navies must be not so much as to size, as in the armor, arament and speed of the individual vessels which-mast meet each other. Spain has but pne first elass battleship. There is'the Paieyo, which is a 9,900 ton ship, haying a speed of sixteen knots and protected by a steel belt 17.7 inches thick along the water line. She has two 12,1-2 inch guns, and two 11 ' inch guns, with a secondary battery of nine 5 1-2 inch" rapid firing 'guns. Her great defect is the lack of armour between the steel belt and the barbettes: in which the guns are placed. .: -< In battleships, the United Sates navy easily outranks the' Spanish. There is the Iowa, of 11,410 tons with, four 12- . inch guns, eight 8-inch guns and four G-inch guns.' She has a 1-inch belt on the water line and the main battery' has a coat of 15 inches of steel from the top of the turrets down to the belt. She would be the natural vessel to oppose against the Paieyo in. event of immediate war. -������������������ , But, in.addition, 'the United States has the Indiana and Massachusetts, not quite as effective as the* Iowa but ranked as first-class battleships and the Oregon, now on her way from-the Pacific coast. However, it is a question whether President McKinley would not swap every one ef the battleships, to-day for "There is no nation in the world that posses such a fleet, not even England, and the fact.that the ships are built to carry the large normal coal supply of 1,200 tons would seem to indicate that they were built for just such an emergency as now confront them." , First in rank of the Spanish cruisers is the Calos V., which can make twenty knots and has a tonnage of 9,23.5 She has two 11-inch guns and a secondary battery of nine guns. Against her the .United States ceuld oppose the Brooklyn, which is nearly the same size��������� 9,250 tons���������slightly faster���������21.9 knots��������� and a battery not quite so heavy in the size of the larger guns, but with more than tho number of the Spanish armament. - '- The Cristabal Colon, which is now said to be at or near the Cape Verde islands,is smaller than the Carlos V.��������� only 0,840 tons���������but is so magnificently equipped that she is even more formidable. A (>-inch steel belt encircles the whole waterline.' Above this is a redoubt of continuous (5-inch steel which completely protects a'buttery of ten G-inch rapid-fire guns, and above this is another battery of six 4.7-inch rapid firing guns. Tho main battery consists of two 10-inch armor piercing guns in 6-inch barbettes. The speed is the same as that of the other cruisers���������twenty knots. The only vessel which tho ' United States has to meet the Cristobal Colon is the New York, of 8,200 tons displacement, twenty-one knots speed, with an armament of six 8-inch guns and twelve 4-inch rapid-fire guns, all protected by from seven to ten inches of steel. The New York is probably a good match for the Cristobal Colon." 'But there the United States' stops in the fast armored cruiser class, while Spain has six more���������the Almirante Dquindo, the Cardinal Casneros, the Cataluna, tho Princess de Asturias, the Infanta Maria Teresa and the Vizcava. Each of these six ships is of 7,000 tons ���������displacement and twenty knot speed. They are provided with a bolt of 12-inch steel, at the top of which is a 3-incli protective deck. At each end of this belt an armored.tube rises to connect with a barbette of 10 1-2 inch steal, and in each barbette is an 11-inch armor-piercing gun. Between these guns is a battery of 5.2-inch'firing guns���������sixty v pid firing guns'in all. Without going further into details of guns and armament, it can be said that thjB'fbregoirig facts furnish'the key -to the navarsituation.' ' ' Cuban Ports Blockaded.

The first of the expected backward rush of Yukon gold seekers to the farming districts of Manitoba, arrived in. Winnipeg yesterday. The party consisted of'a number of land buyers from the Western States, who had in tended spending, the next few seasons in Yukon and for this purpose had purchased ..expensive and complete outfits for securing gold in Klondyke. But on re iching Vancouver they became discouraged by the appearance of the. rush, and decided from the reports that reached them from the north that farming would pay better. So they returned here, and this morning called on Land Commissioner Hamilton and after discussing land matters they decided to go to the Dauphin district and select a few desirable locations. Another gentleman, who was a caller this morning at the land office, intended going on to Yukon,, but on reaching the city became so impressed/with the favorable farming outlook in the province that he intends leaving to-day for Virden, aud from there will go over the Pipestone district with the object of buying a farm. rLO BE REPAIRED.

Justice Walkem declared the Olivette to have been an invalid location'because No. 2 post is less than four inches square and no evidence has been given as to the height of this or No-1 post. Nor did the notice, on No.'1 comply with the statutes, as it omitted to state the number of fee t to the right and left of the location line and omitted the words "initial post." For the reason the action was dismissed. A legal post must be not less than four feet above ground and face at least four inches square, for a distance ������f ft foo from the top.

Havana,28.���������Spaiiish troops through out the island are concentrated at Berlin, April 26.���������With .singular unanimity the German pr< ss of every class is condemning the United States lor the course taken towards Spain. All the Gorman newspapers impute to the United. States selfish and base motives and pr.iiso the attitude' of Spain in contrast with "the undignified course which tho United States is pursuing;." The most rabid of all the Germ-in papers in lis unmeasured abuse is strangely enough the Tagblatt, which usually., has becn-'-friendlv*-'.Howards American aspiration. The deep interest taken by the German publie in tho matter is shown by the fact that practically the entire space of newspapers is given up to the news relative to the struggle. Everything emanating from Washington is hostilely discussed, while pro-Spanish statements are endorsed and applauded. The semi-official newspapers, if not favorable to the United States, are at least-more cautious. They steadily point out why Germany ought to and will maintain the strictest neutrality, laying stress upon the fact that millions of Germans in the United Sta-es heartly side with their adopted country in the propent quarrel with Spain. Nelson, April 26.���������A murder took place at McLean's camp, near Kusko- nook. yesterday. Two Italians working on the construction of {the Crow's Nest Pass branch of the C. P.

The Italians sprang at Johnson, one with a knife and the other with a revolver. Johnson wrestled the revolver from the one and shot the" men. Johnson was brought to Nelson last night by a mounted police officer. Dr. Arthur, coroner, and Mr. Dennis,. stip-mdary magistrate, left for tho scene of the murder last night, and inquest is^now being held. No furthefparticulars can be learned up to this writing.

A wonderful story comes from Emerson, Man., to the effect that Mrs. Jas. Saunders of that place lost her finger nails through a severe attack of Salt Rheum. Nothing seemed to do her any good till she commenced taking Burdock Blood Bitters, with the result that the Salt Rheum has all gone and her finger nails gradually grew on again. Mrs. E. H. N. Astley, of Winnipeg, has received an interesting letter from her husband, who left some time ago for the Yukon, in which Mr. Astley depicts the condition of affairs at Skagway. Writing under date of April 8,.he says that he had a pleasant trip up the coast, and that all the northern ports are developing into the worst places in the world for gambling. One of the party on the boat lost $3,000 in gambling during a brief stay at Wrangel. He continues: "This place, Skagway, has a very- hard nanie, but it is not one-half as black c as it is painted. The United States have soldiers here, and the place is under martial law. Before these soldiers arrived here I believe it was unsafe for people to be out, as the gamblers and bunco steerers were beginning to run the town; but when the soldiers came tbey fired them out. There are quite a lot of nice stores here. You would be quite surprised.- I was when I got here, as I thought that after leaving Vancouver there would be nothing at all; but this place is about six months old, is right below two large mountains, and I suppose there are about 4,000 /people living here. I think it will be very unhealthy, as tho streets are one mass of mud. and wh3ii the tide comes in a great many of the houses, you cannot approach, as the sea is all round them, they being built on piles, The reports about gold which you read and hear about down there in Winnipeg and otheri places are very much exaggerated ; in fact, you cannot rely on anything you hear or read about, unless it is from a party with whom you are personally acquainted. I heard a story the other d>-y which |!I am sure is true, and it was this : A prospector returning to one of these ports had no lack at all, in fact, came back to Skag. A meeting of the West Kootcnay Electric Power and Light Company was held at Rossland last week when Oliver Durant was elected president: W. M. Douell, vice-president; J. B McArthur, secretary ; J. M. Smith, treasurer. The directors include Sir Charles Ross and C. R. Hosmer. The plant of company at Bonnington Falls is now complete and in shape to generate electricity. All that now remains before the company delivers power to the mines of Rossland camp is the completion of the local substation and the finishing of the line. This will be done inside of 30 days and the company is confident that it will be in operation by May 15th. Contracts for supplying power have already been closed with the War Eagle company and the British Columbia Bullion Extracting company, while negotiations [are now pending for furnishing' motive force for four other properties.: All that has hinderod these latter contracts has been the delay oh the part of the electric machinery companies in supplying estimates of the cost of motors.

This unfavorable situation of things is the result of the pecayme characteristics of its ���������politicians^ Few of them look upon questions beyond the mere ward politician's measurement. That is the government brings down a measure, and the opposition consider ;��������� it,their, duty to squabble over it no -Vrnatter what it may be, without a consideration of it on its merits. The ������ther day the government brought 7 down their long ^'promised ���������;. redistribii- ��������� tion measure that was going to give .the'ebuntry honest representation, but instead adds but one member to each " of the Kdotenays and gives two more to the West. True to their instincts,; they propose an amendment, as blank ; as a piece of white paper, so far as suggestions go, ��������� and then follows a squabble that may take up some weeks of tlie whole House.

On "the same reasoning, the public, iiiter- .ested: would like;to see the C. P. R. extended to Whitewater.

Did Mwh Webnter Steal It, or Did the Irish Steal It From XoahT Said an old man who was an ardent admirer of .Noah Webster: - -- "Was Noah Webster a plagiarist or did the EDglish Bteal from him? I was led to ask these questions by being shown the Universal Spelling Book, published in Dublin in 1839 by T. Tegg & Co., which contains the story of the boy that stole apples, with an exact reproduction of the Websfcerian illustration. It runs as follows: 'An old man found a rude boy upon ono of bis trees stealing apples* and desired ���������.him to come down, but the young sauce bos told him plainly he Would, not. "Won't you?" says the old man. . "Then I will fetch you down." So ho pulled up some tufts of grass and threw at hiin, but this only made the youngster laugh, to think the old man should pretend to beat him,.'out of the tree with grass only. "Well, well," says the old man, "if neither words nor grass will do, I must. try what virtue there is In stones." So the old man. pelted him heurtily with 'stones, which soon liindp the young chap hasten down from tho tree, and bog the old man's pardon.' ������������������ . ." -��������� .',''...'.

Dentistry at Sea. When a sailor on a deep water ship has a toothache, he Is likely to go to the captain! Tho captain gives him somothing out of the medicine chest to put in his tooth, and if that doesn't oure it perhaps he pulls it. It is a common thing for sailors to pull thoir own teeth. Thoir method is to put a string around a tooth and pull it. But dental forceps tire carried on deep water Bbips, on some vessels a fair outfit of them. A ship captain of long experience said that In the course of his life at sea he had pulled 200 teeth.

Fow people are aware, save thoso who know Norway well, that there is another king besides Oscar. His name is I\ar Tofte.'and he keeps what is called a "Ha tion" in the Gudbraiisdal, a valley beyond tho Komsdal, on fthe way to Cliristiania, where many very old Norwegian families live. A "station," I should explain, is a house whero horses and carriages can bo hired. Whore thoro are no railway routqs in Norway ithore are those "land skyds," some fast and some slow. Horo a cortaih number ^f horses and caridlcs, stolk joerros, or trilleB, must be kept for tho uso of travelers.. Old Ivar Tofto traces his descent straight down from Harold Haarfagor���������Harold tho Fair Haired���������-and says he is roally king of Norway. This Harold's date is so romoto that it is "wrapt in mystery," but tho ohronblogers give itas from 800 (?) to 933. In his own district Ivar Tofto is considered king, and disputes havebeon brought to hiin to settle just as if he were king, disputes whioh would not be taken,to tho real sovereign. It isassertod that on ono occasion King Osoar and Ivor Tofto met, and Tofto, patting Osoar on tho buck, ox- olaimod, "Ah, old fellow, if every one had his rights I should bo where you' aro and you would be somewhere elso.'' r Tofte is not without ovidencos of:his royal lineage.

SSartholexny Defeated One SpttniKh Vcnsel, hut Had to Succumb to Three. Frank R. Stockton, in his skotches of "The Buccaneers of Our Coast" in .St. Nicholas, tolls of the capture of a hu<>c Spanish merchantman by Barthohimy Portuguez and his small crow. Mr. sSlock- tbn thus relates the misfortune that bci'i.1.1 the victors: ���������. < They cast anchor at Cape St. Anthony, on the west end of Cuba. Alter a considerable delay, at this place thoy started out again to resume their voyage. But it was not long before they perceived to thoir dismay three Spanish vessels coming toward thorn. It was impossible for a very largo ship, manned by an extremely small crew, to sail away from these fully equipped vessels, and as to an attempt to defend thorn- nelves against the overwhelming power of the antagonists that was too absurd to bo thought of even by such a reckless fellow as. Bartholeiuy. So when, the ship was hailed by the Spanish vessels ho lay to and waited until a boat's crew boarded liiui. With tho eye of a nautical man the Spanish captain of one of the ships perceived that something was tho matter with this vessel, for its rigging and sails were terribly cut up In the long fight through which it had' passed, and, of course, ho wanted to know what had happened. Whon ho found that tho great, ship was in the possession of, a vory small body:of pirates, Burtlioloi'ny and his men were immediately made prisoners, were taken on board the Spanish ship, were stripped of everything they possessed, even their clothes, and woro shut up in tho hold. A crew from the Spanish ships was sent to man tho vessel whioh' hud'been captured,' nnd then the little fleet sot sail for San Francisco in Caiupoachy. An hour had worked a vory great change In tho fortunos of Bartholomy and his men. In tho flno cabin of thoir grand prizo they had feasted and siing and had gloried over their wonderful success, and now in tho vessel of thoir captor thoy woro shut up in tbo dark, to be onslaved or perhaps executed. CarelenH Eating. Wo cannot Impress too strongly upon those who havo tho control of children the necessity of euro boing oxurcisud in tho mannor in which food is administered. Often tin otherwise careful niothor, perhaps preoccupied; with conversation or anxious to bo free to do something olso, to attend to her othor household duties'maybe, will givo'her .child .such largo and frequent ir.outhfuls that after it has grown to tho self feeding ago tho practice is continued and tlio habit becomes confirmed. Perhaps children are inclined to eat too fast. It is certainly a common fault and one which may bo avoided by'deferring tho self feeding and letting'tho mother by patient deliberate feeding aid tho child in funning correct habits. And again, this duty should never be left to an ignorant and thoughtless nurse,, who may bavo reasons of her own for haste. ��������� ' Caro in this matter may scorn to cost too muah tiino, but tho result will, be worth all the expenditure. One of the many arr gumentsagainst the presence of very little ehildron at tho common table is-adduced' by tho fact that so many adults, even persons of culture, havo wrong habits, in eating, coupled with that of the imitative tendency of tho little ones. Haste in,eating is naturally accompanied by liastc in feeding on the part of tho mother or nurse, which is frequently tho cause of the after habit in the child in taking too largo a quantity in its mouth and swallowing it <oo fast.���������Now York Lodger.

The title is a Crown Grant and " '. is perfect. All purchasers of lots are safe in this r, respect. The only safe speculative townsite in tlie Slocan is Rosebery. Why should I say the only safe speculative town���������. site in the Slocan ? Because Rosebery business lots to-day are only $150 to $200 each and are ���������. bound to increase rapidly this summer. These figures can, and will, double before long. The '-. time to buy is now. Don't waittill they are from $700 to $1,000, as you did in Slocan City last May, . .,' go in on the ground floor and make a few dollars ��������� in speculation; if you want to invest go to Vancouver or Winnipeg ; if you want to speculate and ' ������������������' and clean up money go quick to Rosebery before lots are out of sight.

Gibson and John Houston are going to Ottawa from Nelson to' press for import duties on lead products. Our police, court only appears' to be a thing of beauty these times. It rarely has a case of any. interest to the public. Hon. A.G. Blair stated in the Dominion House of Commons last week that 42$ miles of the Crow's Nest Pass railway is constructed and $453,000 has been paid. C. E. Hudson, of New York, owner of the Excelcior group at Slocan. City, the News says, is well pleased with his property there, arid is going to push work ahead;' W.

The-Nelson Miner says the entire entire output of the Slocan mines goes through the port of Kaslo. This is not so. What about the shipments of the Payne arid Slocan lake points over theC.P.R.? Do they go via Kaslo? From the appearances of the hall the I. O. O. F. are sparing no pains, in decorations, so as to make their dance . as pleasant as possible. Mr. Spencer has given the interior a fresh coat of paint which very much improves the appearance of the hall. _ It is stated at. Ottawa that the mission of William Mackenzie and D.

This is very consoling, surely. W. Andrews was the other day summoned to: appear as a vag.
