he Is QUICKLY TAKEN PRISONER.
His Vessel Seized and Taken to Key West
Officers Confirmed in Their Suspicious
That the Vessel Was Engaged in
Illicit Trade.

New YORK, Dec. GA dispatch from
Key West, Fla. says that the Angelica,
ship flying the Spanish flag, has been
captured off the west coast of Florida
by the United States revenue ship Nc
Lane, and has been brought into port
by an armed prize crew under the COM
mand of Lieutenant =. Huberroth, of the
McLane, and is now in the hands of the
United States authorities at Key West.
The capture of the Angelica was eff
fected in the vicinity of Sanibel island,
ON the west coast of Florida, the Me-
Lane carrying the vessel by an armed
boats crew armed with Winchester
rifles and cutlasses. The ship was full
of Spaniards. but none aboard showed
any disposition to fight. The Spaniards
gathered forward, scowling at the Amer
lean sailors. Lieutenant Huberroth
walked forward and secured the captain
and called to his men at the same time
to be ready with their pieces.
The Angelica's captain produced bill
.of store provisions purchased on the
Florida coast. but this did not satisfy the
boarding officer, who at once directed a
part of his force to search the ship. No
cOntraband stuff was found, but the
character of the vessel seemed SO GER
tain that Lieutenant Huberroth direct
ed the Spanish captain to accompany
him to the McLane.
Captain Smith convened a court of
admiralty in the cabin and it was de-
cided to seize the Angelica and convey
her to the nearest American port. A
prize crew was sent aboard armed to
the teeth.
Just as the McLane's men were run
ming the Angelica's anchor apeak the
Spanish captain called on his men to
fight and declared that he would die
before allowing his ship TO be carried
off. The Spaniard was seized. placed
in a small boat and sent aboard the Nc
Lane for safe keeping. The crew of
the Angelica We're quickly admonished
not to attempt any thing rash on pain
of death.
The Angelica now awaits adiudica-
ton and will in all proba bility be Of
fered for sale in the course of few
days. The proceeds will go into the
Treasury of the United States. The
fact that the Angelica was not provided
with a register was alone sufficient to
cause proceedings against her.

Undesirable Foreigners.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The 400 Italians
who arrived today on the steamship
Hindostan were evidently the output of
some poor house, the officials of which
decided it would be much cheaper to
pay their passage to the United States
than to keep them for years. They
were the dirtiest and most ragged lot
that ever arrived at this port. They
carried no baggage and were clad in
barely sufficient clothes to cover them
selve. Nine of them were detained by
DR.. GuiteraS on account of sickness or
old age. Two of them We're lame; one
was blind in one eye and one had tumor
on his forehead. They will be returned.

Shocking Christmas Tragedy,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 26.-At o'clock
yesterday morning at the corner of
Tenth and st. Peter streets, in this city,
Emma Mcleod was shot and killed and
her mother, Mrs. Silas Nickel, had her
throat cut and is dying.
Mrs. Nickel told a policeman that her
husband committed the deed. A further
investigation revealed the dead body of
Nickel himself, with two revolvers and
bullet hole showing how he died.
There is something of a question as
to who committed the tragedy, Nickel
or his wife, but it was probably the
former.

Rapidly the development of new terri
Sory follows a public knowledge of its
resources in these go-ahead days. A
given portion of country may be SEEM
ingly bowling wilderness to-day, yet
twelve months hence the hardy pioneers
OF settlement will be firmly established
In it, and five years hence the wilder
.isss is gone forever, transformed into
OIL agricultural region of inestimable
yIlue.
This story has been told over and
l3ser again upon tine American CONT
nent, and is now being repeated once
more upon the great fertile prairies of
Western Canada, where the millions of
acres of valuable lands open for settle
ment are attracting an ever-increasing
army of colOnists from every civilized
portion of the Globe.
Only few years ago the prairies of
Western Canada were simply a vast
game range, yet to-day towns, villages,
settlements, farms and ranches are dot
ted all over what is unquestionably one
of the very finest agricultural sections
of this continent. The prairie region
of Canada extends from the eastern
boundary of Manitoba westward to the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains, a
distance, roughly speaking, of about one
thousand miles. Within this vast ex-
panse are comprised the great wheat
province of Manitoba, the fat lands of
Assiniboia and the noble pastures of
Alberta, offering homes to all who
choose to claim them, and unrivalled
facilities for following every branch of
agriculture with profit. The official
crop returns for 1890 are splendid testi-
mony of the capabilities of these natur-
al grain fields and pastures, and no
matter whether the newcomer prefers
horse, cattle or sheep raising, wheat
growing, mixed or dairy farming, he
can easily find land admirably suited
to his purpose within these broad limits
and simply for the trouble of selecting
for himself what appears to be the most
desirable locality.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Captain James
Carroll. of Sitka, Alaska, chosen by the
Territorial convention held at Juneau
in October last to represent the Terri
tory as delegate in Congress, provided
that body should see fit to grant it the
right of representation. has arrived and
talks freely. The country. he said, un
dOubtedly needed a representative in
Congress, but if that body denied it to
the people there were other things
which it should grant as matter of
simple justice to relieve the people of
grievances which were fast growing in
tolerable. These he detailed at some
length. He said all the congressman
with whom he had talked seemed very
favorable to granting the requests in
the memorial.
Captain Carroll also spoke of propo-
sition he was willing to make on the
part Of the solid citizens of the Territory
if Congress did not think Alaska of
enough importance to give it system of
Jurisprudence and all the facilities and
rights it had granted every other outly-
ing settlement of the Government. He
was empowered to offer the sum of S14,-
600, 900 for the Territory and would pay
it over in so gold pieces on the shortest
sort of notice. This was $500. 900 more
than it cost. not to speak of the big

taken for sealing privileges. The offer,
