RECIPROCITY DISCUSSED.

Two Interesting Letters Read at Meet-
ing OF Canadian Electors.
TORONTO, Feb. 26.-Sir Charles Upper, in
an address before the electors of Windsor,
Ont, read two letters addressed to Erastus
Wiman of New York, one of which was
signed by G. Edward Farrer of Toronto and
the other by r. R. Hit of the house OF rep
resentatives, Washington.
Mr.. Farrer's letter, which is dated To-
ronto, April %, 1882 concludes as follows:
1T seems to me, and have talked the
thing over lately with the maritime men,
bers as we'll as with those from Manitoba,
that commercial union would only delay
the coming OF the event that. these people
most desire. Hence, in the provinces re-
ferred to, commercial union does not take
hold, whereas annexation will ALWAYS de-
mand hearing. The truth is that everv
man who breaches commercial union
would prefer annexation, SO that the party
is virtually wearing mask"
Mr.. Hitt in his letter. which is dated
Washington, April 25 1889, says in part:
I'VE must be very patient with the slow
moving popular mind. If the Canadian
public Of farmers, artisans, lumbermen,
miners and fishermen can be in three years
argued up to the point Of voting for COM
mercial union and giving sanction to the
movement in parliament it will be great
progress. Slow as such movements are the
comforting thing is that they never 60
backward. Mr.. Farress' North American
Review article will have a powerful tend
ency to keep our public men from scatter
ing away on annexation next winter, and
hope we can get the offer OF commercial
union formulated into law"

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Tho Matter Discussed BY the State super

Tho Matter Discussed BY the State SUPER
intendents OF Schools.
PHILADELPHIA Feb. 26.-The annual
meeting of the departm ent of .uperintend-
ents of the National Educational associa-
ton began here to-day. Representatives Of
the different branches of education were
present from every state and territory in the
United States.
The first topic on the programme was
''The Compulsory School Legislation of IL
linois and Wisconsin" which was intro
duced and thoroughly ventilated by L c.
Dougherty, superintendent of schools, Pc
oria, Ill. Mr.. Dougherty stated that in the
city OF Chicago, under the new law, 10000,
and in the state over 10000, children have
been brought into the schools. There was
no force used.
State Supt. Wells of Madison, Wis. said
he favored making the schools more at
tractive without compulsion. and thought
that would increase the attendance. In
answer to questions he said that the oppo-
sition to the Bennett law did not come
from the requirement that instruction
should be in the English language. He ad-
mitted, however, that that question had a
great deal to do with it. There was no
doubt about the authority of the state in
the public schools but he doubted the
right of the state to exercise authority over
private and parochiai schools.

tendent, Lincoln, Neb; D. L. Kiehle, state

WILLMAR SCORCHED.

Several Buildings Burned, Causing .
Loss of Several Thousand Dollars.
W1LLMAR, Mimi, Special, Feb. 26.-Fire
broke out in the second story OF the res
taurant building occupied by H. E. Hardy
early this morning, and though the fire
was under control in less than two hours
the following buildings were consumed:
Windsor house and two store buildings, all
in charge of F. G. Handy, and Mrs. R.
Paulson's building. occupied by postofice,
express Office and store. The loss on these
buildings is 5000; insured for So, 5OO
The occupants of the buildings and their
losses are as follows: Tilda Parsons, hotel
furniture, 81 500; II. E. Hardy, restaurant,
nearly all saved; loss about $500. B. Wal
pert. gents furnishing store stock, 81, 900;
insurance, So, COO; most of the goods saved,
but damaged. G. G. Wennerlund, jewelry
store, Dennis OBrien, postof1ice, and G. E.
Selvig, express office, sustain damage of
about 81 900. ]. D. Whereatt's dwelling
was damaged about $50. Alderman &
Hollis butcher shop and fixtures were DAM
aged about $50.
At one time good part of the town was
threatened and a good many moved their
goods, but s., 900 will cover their loss. The
origin of the fire is unknown but started in
rooms occupied by some students.

PORTLAND TO TACOMA.

The Great Northern May Build q Line
Between These Points.
TACOMA. WASH, Special Telegram, Feb.
26.-It has just'developed here that the I'm
ion Pacific estimated that the Portland &
Puget Sound line from Tacoma to Portland
would cost So, 0OO00O.
Finding itself unable to proceed with the
work President Hill. of the Great Northern,
was approached, and an agreement signed
by which the Tacoma & Portland line was
to have been built and track,
bridges and terminals used jointly. AS
Union Pacific was unable to raise the
money to build it alone it was stipulated
that President Hill should pay one-half for
construction and advance 81, 500, 600. The
Union Pacific hoped by the time that that
sum was expended to be in position to pay
for the balance of the construction.
It is now believed that Gould is DESTROYS
ofrepudiating every contract made by the
Union Pacific, and this accounts for the de-
lay in the building OF the Portland extern
sion. 1t is thought that Gould will not
stand by the contract. The Great Northern
will build an independent line to
Portland, but it may be necessary for the
Union Pacific to formally enter into the
contracts to secure land subsidies along the
proposed line, which are worth $1,000, 900.

Senator e. x. Wilson Of Maryland Dies
of Heart Failure.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator E. K.
Wilson of Maryland died here tonight at
his apartments at the Hamilton Of heart
disease. Mr.. Wilson was in his seat in the
senate chamber last Saturday apparently in
good health, and the news of his
death tonight came as shock to the
community. He complained on Sunday
and yesterday, but his condition was not
regarded as serious until late last night
when he had sinking spell, but he re-
vived. and this morning was thought to be
out of danger. Later in the day he grew
wo1se and lowered between life and death
until about 10 O. clock, when the end came
Mr.. Wilson was born in Snow Hill, Md,

derby Cared For.
HAzLEroN, Pa, Feb. 26.-Joe Mastus-
kowitch, Thomas Tomaskusy, John Berno
alive in the Inflated Hayden mine at
GAINESVILLE, were brought to the surface
this morning at clock and taken to Sons
Of Temperance hall at GAINESVILLE, where
q party of ladies administered to their
wants.
A rag moistened with lime Juice was
placed to their lips and they eagerly grasped
it. Then small doses of brandy and milk
were given them, but only by the spoonful
at time. In a short time the four men
were quietly asleep.
1t is impossible to try to get a statement
from any of the men. Their weakened con-
dition prevents and the physician in charge
has positively forbidden any more con-
versation with them. ALI the men are so
weak tha- simple movement OF the head
Is impossible.
This afternoon it was said that Joe Mas
tuskowitch was rapidly growing weaker
and may perhaps never recover.
The terrible tale of their nineteen days
suffering will hardly be made public for
several days, as with the most favorable
improvement hoped for none of these men
will be strong enough to talk.
Tomaskusky, when asked how long he
was under ground, replied: ME down two
weeks; too much long; too cold" The
men had no exact idea of the time they
were entombed, but knew it must have
been several weeks, from their exhaustion
There were no traces of any practices of
cannibalism, and the men, who were all of
hard constitution, weakened snd became
exhausted gradually. 1t is evident that the
idea of subsisting on one OF their number
did not come to them at all.

years of age was occupying a responsible
position in the employ OF the New York &

In 1855, with his young wife, he came

him there he went to Milwaukee in 1856,
where he remained about one year, remov-
ing to Prairie du Chen in 1857 to accept the
position Of station agent there of the Mil
waukee & Prairie du Chen railroad. From
that time he was continuously identified

FOSTER IS SECRETARY.

No Substantial Opposition to the Con.
hrmation Of tho Appointment.
WAsHtNGToN, Feb. @.-The nomination
of Charles Foster as secretary of the treas
ury has been confirmed by the senate.
1t does not appear that there was any sub
stantial opposition to the confirmation. II
was at the request of Western Republican
senator that the nomination was yesterday
sent to the finance committee, and when it
was reported to-day that the senator who,
it is understood. was acting originally for
an absent senator, announced that he had
no objection, so the confirmation followed
without opposition.

dry climate, it will thrive on any

does not do well on heavy, compact,
soil. It is worthy q trial in any local

when in full bloom; then curl as ordi-

the first cutting must be reserved for
that, as the second or third cutting
does not mature evenly.
