that an Unprecedented amount of stuff will be

ANNEXATION OF CANADA.
A Victoria Nine Owner Says His People Are
Unanimous for the Scheme.

CHICAGO, Oct. % in an interview in a
local paper Joseph Habrick, a mine owner
OF Victoria, says the largest portion of the
commerce between British Columbia and
the United States is in Chinese and opium.
He talks of what is well known to Pacific
coasters about the way loads of coolies
which formerly went to San Francisco are
dumped at Victoria and thence make their
way across the boundary. Also about the
unparalleled extent to which opium SNUG
Cling has grown. Habrick farther said the
people up his way were practically unani-
nous for annexation to US. Recent events
in the relations of the two countries have
spurred the desire" He said, No
body blames the United States
for Selling seal poachers in Alaska
waters, although they were mostly Vic
toria people The blame is wholly laid
upon the British government, which after
telling US we had right to fish for seal re-
fused to give US protection. Anyhow, even
if we were in touch with government
5000 miles away-and we are not in any
sense-the natural relations of our people
with the Americans would demand union.
We need American capital; we have Amer
lean blood. The English are a positive
handicap on the attempts Of a young and
progressive people to develop the country"

of some positive policy with regard to the
various navy yards. The people interested
in opening those now closed and maintain

scented their arguments to the secretary,
and these have been submitted to the chiefs
of the several bureaus for their examina-

believe that ne will be candidate

again. Blaine himself read the article, but
firmly refused to say anything about it.
''For long time" said Walker Blaine to
your CORE spondent, various stories have
been in circulation in regard to my fathers
health. Some time since we determined VIC
would make no statement with regard to
the matter"
1t may be stated on good authority, that
Blaine's subsequent Paris letter was writ
ten by urgent request of John Sherman and
another presidential candidate, both of
whom wrote him that the first letter was
not accepted as final here and was a de-
moralizing party and unfair TO the other
aspirants when not taken as sincere, Then
Blaine penned the more emphatic misSive.
Secretary Proctor said: at is relief to
have the matter settled. l am inclined to
believe Blaine has no further desire for
political honOrs."
Secretary Rusk said: 81 think it anthem

Rube Burrows Life.

Especial 70 THE HRRALD-Examiner Dispatch
CoFFEEvILLE, Miss, Oct 29.-The life Of
Burrows furnishes an exciting piece of
criminal history. He was born in North
Alabama about the beginning of the civil
war, and is now about twenty-six years old.
His first crime was committed when he
was nineteen years old. a companion and
be were out hunting one day, when dis
pute arose over some tribe and Burrows
killed His next escapade occurred near
Pine Bluff, Arkansas, two years after. he,
his brother jim Burrows, and Nick Thorn
ton, robbed an express car OF S2O,OO jim
Burrows was captured, prosecuted in the
Arkansas courts and sentenced to the peLl-
Tertiary for twenty years, where he died
last year without betraylng his &C
completes. After that robbery Rube came
to Vernon, Ala. In December last he roDoed
an Illinois express train.
In July last BurroW' 5 ordered masks from
a Chicago firm under an alias. He directed
them to be sent by mail to Jewell post
Office near Vernon. Nick Thornton went
after them but as they were registered the
postmaster refused to deliver them to any
other than the party to whom they were
addressed. Burrows then came. He met
with the same refusal. Old man Gardner,
the postmaster, became angry at Burrows
killed him. Some women who were near
rushed in as soon as they heard the shoot
ing. He tipped his hat to them as they
entered the door and selecting the best
looking one in the crowd, threw his arms
around her neck and implanted very
heavy smack on her lips. He then quietly
walked away to his horse, tipped his hat
again and galloped away.
| Another Vernon celebrity is little Mollie
Pennington, who in the summer OF 'S7
said she had gone to heaven and had been
sent back to preach to sinners. The very
fact OF a rumor of a Vernonite gaining
admittance to that place, much less coming
back, was little more than the people
could believe and 50 thousands went to see
what kind of looking being she was.
Mollie preached, and is preaching yet. HeI
audiences were large and on one occasion, 6
year ago, Burrows became converted by
her and shouted and sang louder than any
