Desertine Iceland.

They have been taking census in
Iceland recently, and they are in trouble
there, too; but their trouble is not about
the congressional representation. It is
something even more serious. It ap-
pears that so great has been the hegira
to Canada and the United States it has
taken away from the island fully 30, ,OO0
people. This does not seem such very
large number, except when one consid-
ers that the original population was only
about $4,000. One-fourth of the entire
population then has emigratedi The re-
suit is disastrous. Taxes have been
greatly increased, while properties have
become reduced in values. The har-
vests, too, have been greatly lessened.
There seems to be but one way out for
the Icelanders They must all follow
the vanguard and abandon their island
to the walrus and bear. Perhaps few
centuries hence some Professor Horsford
will discover evidence of human habita-
tion at some prehistoric age in Iceland.

Electric Flowing.

An installation for the purpose of
plowing the land by electric motors has
been set up on the property belonging to
the Marquis de la Laguna. The power
of waterwheel of some twenty horse
power will be employed, and the imple-
ment for working the land is expected to
work at distance of three miles from
the generating dynamo. So far as the
electrical plant is concerned all is right,
but deficiency of mechanical and agri-
cultural knowledge on the part of those
intrusted with the work seems likely to
make this trial failure. This is much
to be regretted, as the promoters of the
experiment have been fortunate in find
ing a landowner who is disposed to make
a trial Of such an important application

ALL ABOUT SOUP.
MRS. KNIGHTS DIS SCOURSE YES
TEFDAY AFTERNOON.
shs Describes the Proper Way to Make a
Number Of Toothsome Dishes--Salads
on the Programme Today.


About hundred and twenty-five of
the wives, sisters and sweethearts in
Los Angeles gathered at st. Vincent's
hall yesterday afternoon, to hear the
second lecture on the art of cooking by
Mrs. Sophie w. knight. All the ladies
manifest ed great interest, and gold PEN
ciis were busy making notes on gaily
bonnd, scented notebooks.
The sub. .ect treated of was soups. To
make soup, Mrs. Knight said that one
pound of meat should be taken to each
quart of cold water. The meat should
not be washed but wiped off with wet
cloth. After putting the meat in the
water the pot should be put on the back
of the stove and kept at point of heat
just below boiling for four hours. The
soup should then be strained through a
cloth and allowed to cool, when the
grease can be SKINNED off and the re-
suit will be good ''stock." from which
any kind of soup can be made.
Mrs. Knight illustrated her remarks
again by practical experiments in max
ing SOUP. the result of which gave great
satisfaction to the students. After show
ing how to mako the "stock," the
lecturer explained the making of cream
OF asparagus, cream of celery, and toma-
to soups, as we'll as curry, and most
tempting potage. She also went slightly
into sauces.
This afternoons lecture will be de-
voted to chicken, potato and shrimp
salads each Students requested to bring
fork and napkin. The admission to
single lectures has been reduced from
30 cents to %, and men will be admitted
free at the end of the lecture and given
a taste of the dishes prepared. Men are
also welcome to attend the lectures if
any feel an ambition to become good
cooks, or to learn if their wives under
stand the art; any who attend will be
sure to be entertained well as well as
protited.

The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1891-05-22

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The census
bureau has issued q bulletin upon the
debts of the world. AS far as can be
obtained the debt of foreign nations in
1890 was, less j sinking fund, s25, $780,
076, OO0, an increase over 1880 of 81
154, 503, 655. The debt OF the United
States for the same time shows q de-
crease of 81, O07, 455, 600, or more than
half the amount Of the debt in 1880.
The decrease in the debt of the states
and territories for ten years to 1890 is
$67, 219. 900. In the same time the
debt of the counties increased ST., S46,-
900. Relatively the burdens of debt
falls far heavier upon the inhabitants
of the principal foreign countries, ex-
cept those of Germany, than those of
this country, while the Individual fuc-
tuations of amounts OF Indebtedness Of
seventy-nine foreign nations reported
have been considerable during the
decade. The aggregate Indebtedness
shows relatively but little change, es-
pecially if compared with the increase
of population. Aggregating the ma
tional, state and county Indebtedness per
capita shows q decrease from 1869
in 1880, to s20.46 in 1890. The aggre-
gate surplus receipts of another de-
cade like the n just past would re-
lieve the country from nearly all the
national, state and county indebted
ness, could they be distributed for the

Cuban Reciprocity Treaty.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-It is init
mated that Secretary Blaine contem-
plates a flank movement upon the Nc
KinIey tariff law. This is disclosed by
d dispatch from Madrid, which gives
some OF the arguments General Foster
brought 10 bear in order to have Spain
endorse the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba. Among other things the United
States government notified the Span
ish government that an effort would be
made before the next congress to have
the high duties on Savannah tobacco
scaled Gown. This assurance was eX-
tended as q mark of good will on the
part OF this government as it materially
aided in securing SPANS consent TO the
reciprocity treaty. 1t has been ex-
pected ali along that the democratic ma
jority in the next congress would have
a great deal OF fault to find with the
Mckinley act, but at the same time
Secretary Blaine will also have some
important amendments to propose.
The tobacco schedules in the Mckinley
act put the duties so high as to be al
most prohibitory and the tobacco
houses of Havana have already been
seriously affected by the act. The
secretary's efforts to have the excessive
duties lowered will be welcomed by
the Cuban tobacco houses, but it is
certain 10 widen the breach between
Messrs. Mckinley and Blaine as to the
nature Of tariff legislation.

The Government Exh bit.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The board
of management Of government ex-
hibits was in session two hours. The
representatives of the navy depart
ment submitted for formal approval
the detailed plans for the structure on
semblance of a modern battle ship,
which is designed as the principal ex-
hibit of that department. and reported
that the forms OF contract, the speci-
fi~cations and advertisements had been
prepared under the supervision of the
law officers of the treasury department;
and they asked formal authority OF the
board to proceed at once with the
work. The matter consumed the
greater part of the meeting, resulting
in the unanimous adoption of resolu-
tions authorizing the immediate in-
sertion of necessary advertisements for
proposals. The architect of the navy
department exhibit will proceed to
Chicago the latter part of next week,
to be accessible to intending bidders
and give information with regard to
the working plans. The bids will be
opened in Washington on the 10th OF
June and the contract will be awarded
by the board as soon as possible after
the consideration of bids.

One Husband Too MANY,

BURLINGTON, Ia, May 1.-Two
sensational suits have identified in the
district court here by Charles S. Young
of Fort Madison, Ia, against C.. S.
Quick of this city and his wife, Alice
A. Quick. Some four weeks ago Quick,
who had been a widower eight weeks
or more, married Mrs. c. S. Young Of
Fort Madison, who had been divorced
but one week from her husband. who
was employed in st. Louis, Mo. This
former husband is the plaintiff and de-
MES having any knowledge of his
wife's divorce prior to her marriage to
Quick, and sues for S15. 900 damages,
charging Quick with seduction and the
alienation of his wife's affections. The
suit against Mrs. Quick, his former
wife, is to set aside the decree of di-
vorce obtained by her, as he claims,
by fraud. He claims to have fire.
quently sem his wife money from st.
Louis for her support and had no idea
of anything being wrong till he learned
OF the divorce.

The Itata still at Liberty.

WASHINGTON. May 13.-Up to the
close of business hours yesterday no
news was received at the navy depart
ment of the movements of the Charles
ton, and so far as the officials there
know the Itata is still at liberty.
Commodore Ramsay. the acting Sec
rotary, this afternoon said the only
news the department had received to-
day was the arrival of the cruiser San
Francisco at Iquique, in northern
Chill. As this vessel is to figure in
the chase in case the 1tata escapes the
Charleston her movements are of some
Importance.
A new factor appears which will
doubtless result speedily in betraying
the movements of the pursuer and the
pursued. The Itata started from San
Diego six days ago and must be nearly
out of coal, so that she must soOn put
into port somewhere. The Charles
ton had only enough coal to last four
days. She has now been out three
days, and her coal supply is proba-
bly, running so low that some news
from one or both of the vessels
may be expected very soon when they
put into port for coal. This will prob
ably be q Mexican port. Some COM
ment was caused among state depart
ment people by the telegraphed state
ment that the CHILEAN insurgent cru
User Esmeralda is now at Acapulco.
The fact of her presence in port is re-
garded here by some officers as quasi
recognition by the Mexican govern
ment of the insurgents as belligerents.
II this recognition should take formal
shape it might have important results
for the insurgents, for under neutrality
laws their vessel would find an asylum
in Mexican ports and might take sup
plies, although not permitted to take
aboard amunitions Of war or make any
Mexican port a base OF operations
against Chill.

Secretary Tracy Talks.

BINGHAMPToN, N. Y. May 49,
Secretary of the Navy b. F. Tracy is
in the city on private business. In an
interview with a reporter he stated
several facts concerning the 1tata
which have heretofore been matters OF
speculation. The secretary states de-
finitely that the Charleston has orders
to capture the Itata wherever she may
be found upon the high a This in
cludes all waters outside the three mile
limits or ports of foreign countries.
He did not anticipate a fight, but in
case of resistance the United States
ship would carry out her orders at all
hazards. He was not at liberty to
state the exact text of the cipher dis
patch sent to Charleston, neither would
he say definitely if the cruiser San
Francisco, now in CHILEAN waters. had
been ordered to intercept the ltata.
The San Francisco, he said, was classed
with the cruisers Baltimore and Phila-
delphia. and was fully able to hold her
own with the Esmeralda. The United
States had manned Il strictly neutral
position in refusing to supply arms to
the insurgents, and as the Itata had
violated every rule of international
law in breaking away from the custody
of the government after seizure she
would have to take the consequences.
The secretary did not anticipate any
serious trouble, but thought the mat
ter would be soon settled p~eaceably
and with honor to the United States.

Alien Contract Labor Law.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Superintend-
ent Weber has determined to ascertain
whether it is possible to enforce at this
port that portion OF the immigration
laws which prohibits the importation
OF alien contract labor. On Monday,
last. he detained at the barge Office
eleven Immigrants of that kind, who,
according 10 their own statements, had
been brought here under u contract to
work for two companies in Chicago.
Their passage to this country had been
paid by an agent or contractor, who
had agreed with them hat they should
get q certain fixed rate of daily wage
in Chicago. As in these cases there
seemed to be a clear violation of the
law, Mr.. Weber gave orders for the
detention OF the men. They were not
shipped back to Austria at once. The
secretary OF the treasury was notified
OF their arrival and of the advisability
OF keeping them here as witnesses in a
suit to De brought against the violators
OF the contract labor law. Mr..
Weber desired that q trial might De
held IN order that al exact application
OF the provisions OF the law might be
obtained for his guidance. 1t is pro-
bable that the cases will be tried in
Chicago, where companies charged
with illegal practices are TO be found.
There have recently been other cases
o. a similar nature at the barge Office,
put the law has not yet been applied
to them. e. |
