FOR F0RTY-FIYE DAYS
Giovanni Sucoi's Long Fast
Completed.
HAS TAKEN NO N0URISHMENT
The Fast Has Undoubtedly Been
an Honest One-His First
Dinner To-Day.

New YoRK, Dec 2O.-Giovanno Sue
els fast Of forty-five days terminated
at s45 this evening in the presence of
an audience of 400 people.
The worst attack of gastric trouble he
had during the fast was at o'clock to-
day, during which his pain was so acute
it was feared he would collapse, but his
indomitable will carried him through.
From that time until s:i5 pains con-
stantly occurred, his distress being
shown by contortions OF the face and the
nervous movements OF his body.
When COCOA was prepared, shortly af-
ter 5 o'clock, Succi arose from the lou 90
and staggered to the table, looking more
like q skeleton than man. When he
first slipped cocoa there was burst Of
applause from the spectators. 1t was
doubtful whether he would be able to re-
tain nourishment, but the uncert all ty
soon passed away and Succi gradually
resumed his former buoyancy-
This morning Succi weighed lO4N
pounds. When he began the fast he
weighed l47H pounds. During the fast
he drank twenty-one quarts of alkaline
water and nine and one-hslf quarts of
Croton water, besides q little OF bis
elixir which chemists say contain no
nourish ment,
Tomorrow afternoon he will take his
first dinner. The fast undou btedly has
been an honest one.

THE MESSIAH FOUND.
He Ia y Piuts Indian, and Lives on
Walker River.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. GA. /. Chap
man, the veteran Indian scout and in
terpreter, has returhed from San Fran
cisco and took to-nighrs train for Fort
Spokane.
Mr.. Chapman was sent by General
John Gibbon into Nevada to Investigate
and report upon the Messiah craze, Al
ter long search he found the object OF
his search on the west fork of the
Walker river, and interviewed him at
length. The Indian name of the
Messiah, Chapman says, Is Quoitze
Ow. He is a Plute, about 80 years Old.
and nearly six feet in height.
The version Chapman obtained of
Quoitze Ow's visions and doctrines is
about the same as hitherto printed. The
Indian uprising, he said, is not to be
laid directly to the blame of the
Messiah, as he counsels industry and
morals, except that he sanctions
gambling, to which the Piutes arc
already inveterately addicted.
Chapman says that the Messiah has
unquestionably gathered his ideas of the
supernatural from religious legends
taught him in family whore he has
lived the past ten years. Many OF his
expressions in conversation are taken
bodily from the Scripture.
He says the Messiah is now endcavor-
ing to exact tribute from the whites
and Indians in return tor his sending
rain and snow.

GOLDEN SPIKE DRIVEN
The Northern Pacific Cutoff
Completed.
OF BENEFIT TO COEUR D'ALENE
Two Hundred Miles Nearer the
East-The Celebration Appro-
priately Observed.

MuLLAN, Idaho, Dec. 22.-At 0;i5 A.
NJ. a special train with about seventy
five ladies and gentle men aboard pulled
out of here destined for tho summit, for
the purpose of participating in the ccre-
mony OF driving the golden spike in the
last rail which connects the Northern
Pacific cutoff between Missoula and
the Cmur a. Alene country.
J. II. stephens, accompanied by III.
NJ. Glidden and Miss Glidden OF Burke.
to whom had been assigned tho honor OF
driving the golden spike, arrived on tho
morning train from below, and imme-
diately boarded the special.
The train was In charge of J. II. Brad q
ley with NJ. T.. Cheney at the throttle
valve. The run was made without in
cident or accident over scrpentine
route which parallels itself several times
to the apex of the summit. Varied and
grand was the scenery witnessed en-
route.
Arriving at the point or destination,
Mr.. Il. j. Cantinc. who has charge Of the
construction work on the road this side
of the divide announced that j. H..
Stephens would take charge of the cere-
mony OF driving the golden spike.
Mr.. stephens stepped forward and
stated that as the orator of the occasion
got left, he would have to speak for
him. and closed brief but very neat
and appropriate little speech by sayings;
"Iou are about to witness the driving
of the first last spike, but hope none
present will live to see the driving OF the
last last spike on the Northern Pacific" )"
The spike was driven at Halo A. NJ.
Miss Garrett Glidden broke bottle of
'yellow label' on the rail which forms
the connecting link between Missoula
and the Cmur d'Alene, via the Northern
Pacific cutoff. This will prove of i'm
mense wealth to this section of Idaho,
as IL brings the East 200 miles nearer,
with broad-gauge connection all the
way.

THE FARMERS CHOICE
Opinion of Farmers of the
Country.
HARRISON And CLEVELAND
Interesting Figures Compiled by
the Agricultural Press of
Massachusetts,.

srRSeFiELp, Mass, Dec. GAN
elaborateIy planned canvass to ascer.
tain the opinion of farmers throughout
the country on certain questions has
been cond ucte6 on an extensive scale for
the past three months by the agricult-
ural press of Springfield. In connection
with other farming journals west and
east. Nea ly 1l0, 600 cards have been re-
ceived in answer. The questions were
on certain practical economic and politi-
cal questions, including ideas on tarif,
government ownership Of railroads and
telegraph. The final question was, who
should be the republican and democratic
nominees for the presidency in 1892
The answers have been fully tabul ated
only so far as they relate to this last
question, but enough mas been done to
show that federal aid to agricultural ed
ucation and teaching OF agricultural
science in rural schools are oyerw hel M
ingly indorsed.
The sentiment regarding government
ownership of railroads Is quite evenly
divided. Many who vote against such
ownership insist on government super
vision and full control of railroads.
The views expressed as to new tariff
| law, reciprocity and proposed modii ca
ton of the national land policy are so
diverse that it will be some days before
they are classified.
In reference to the vote for the presi-
dental ca candidates it 10 explained that the
journals Interested interpreted the No
yeinber election as meaning that the
farmers were weary of the old favorites
and old measures, and demanded new
men and new issues These journals
therefore advocated Secretary Rusk and
Congressman Hatcn as the proper repub-
lican and democratic Standard bearers
for 1892 In spite of this however
farmers expressed their preference ior

BERLIN, Dec. 20.-The number OF
American physicians who are waiting

rapidly diminishing.
Professor Gerhardt has now treated
seventy-nine patients. -Four suffering
from advanced phthisis died three left

remedy and confirms koch's experience
that IL Is most useful in the initial
stage OF the disease.
DR.. Gutman has four cases that have
been absolutely cured of pulmonary
phthisis, having been taken ut an early
stage.
Professor Leyden reports that OF i27
patients treated at the Charity hospital,
the general results are promising and
there has been no mishap In any In
stance. In contrast to those, the Co
logne Gazette records the death of pa
tient con aimed to the care of DIR. Libbertz
by Koch and and who received the first
injection from Koch. Professor Leyden
admonishes the doctors to use the utmost
caution, and that injections affect the
heart strongly. All deaths following
the injections have been caused by the
heart being affected.

TRIAL OF THE NEWARK
A Most Satisfactory Trip
Was Made.
FINEST SHIP IN THE new NAVY
She Was Given Very Sewers
Test, and Not Rivet
Was Started.

DELAWARE BREAKwATER, Dec. 22.-
The cruiser Newark this morning re-
turned from her trial trip, having sue
cessfully ma attained her horse power
and speed for four hours. Unofiicially
1t is understood the Newark exceeded
8, coo orse power, which will give the
Cramps over $50, 900 premium. She av-
eraged in speed nineteen and six-tenths &
knots per hour.
Shortly after starting II was discov-
cred that the ship was running over a
shoal, causing a drag and consequent
lessening of the speed Of the screws.
This lasted only few minutes, but IL
was decided to run half an hour longer
so as TO give a thoroughly fair trial.
The day was perfect, with a breeze
blowing sufficiently strong to produce
white caps" For the purpose of ac-
curately determining the horse power OF
the main engines tho trial of four hours
was divided in sixteen parts OF fifteen
minutes each.
During the whole run there was not q
mishap, the engines averaging about
127 revolutions per minute, and not
withstanding the extraordinary heat
mum temperature of the engiAe-rooms
was but 104 degrees. The aftern oon
was devoted to testing the quickness
with " hich the ship could DO stopped
and backed whilo travelling at full
speed and also to show its steering and
turning capacities. A complete turn
was male in four minutes anu five sec
onds.
One minute and thirty-hve seconds
covered the time from going ahead at
full speed to going astern at full speed.
The latter movement, ordinarily gre at
strain upon the engines was accom-
piished without even starting u rivet.
After the turning trial, the ship steamed
back to Delaware bay and anchored in
side the eakwater.
The naval officers on board were very
enthusiastic in praise of the Newark
and declared she is one of the finest, II
not the most stable ship, yet built for
the new navy.

For the first time since tho com

To pronounce judgment In the contest
between 1t and the minority of seceders

Britain, who themselves since 1856 have
had to resist and overcome similar Sc
cession, will not doubt which side they
are to recognize, with the name and
true title OF the Irish party, with its
honorable tradition of resistance to

he WAS not at liberty to speak of the re

In the minds OF the people. They mean
simply that in joining forces they
frame platform upon which, as
organizations, they can stand. There is
no necessity to form new political
party, but merely npoltcal movement
having definite object in view. 1t is
upon that basis that he proposes to

object being to discuss the labor problem
in all its aspects, and atte mpt to make a

A RELIEF Expedition at This season
Would he Foolish.

PoGT TOWNSEND Wash, Dec. % -
Frederick Vehling, who resided in vari-
GUS parts OF Alaska for many years past,
came down on the steamer Bertha to-.
day. Speaking OF the Frank Leslie ex-
petition in Alaska he said:
I'll, as stated, the party is showed up
with only forty pounds of flour in camp,
| think there IL very little hope for
them. Forty pounds of flour will go
but a short way. As to
organizing relief expedition
ut this season of the
year, as the papers state Is going to
be done, IL is all foolishness. Such an
expedition could do no good. They can
not travel there in water, and will be
likely to get themselves into the same
scrape as the last expedition.
