THE PRESIDENT-EIECT.

ExMooR, Va. Nov. 26-President-elect
Cleveland breakfasted ut $50 o'clock this
morning. Everything appeared so favora-
bic for duck shooting that it was deter
mined to abandon the contemplated visit
10 Squire Upshur's plantation in search OF
cartridges. At 6 o'clock Mr.. Cleveland
started for the blinds and expected to re-
man out until some time in the afternoon.
The steam yacht Sunshine, which con-
veyed President-elect Cleveland and party
To the blinds this morning, returned shortly
after noon. The day was almost perfect;
but the ducks were flying only in moderate
numbers, and, though the sport WAS excel
lent, the number of fowl bagged was not
large
When the Sunshine was leaving her
landing Captain johnson, in charge OF the
United States life saving crew, caused the
stars and stripes to be run up on the station
staff. The party upon the little steamer
Immediately responded by raising the ma
tional emblem, Mr.. Cleveland assisting In
pulling up the flag.
1t is understood this evening that Mr.
Cleveland will extend his stay upon the
island, probably remaining until the latter
part Of the week.

VANISHED LAKE AGASSIZ.

Winnipeg Il Only tho Modern Remnant
Of Great Sea.
II you look at q map Of tho Dominion
Of Canada, says the Youths Companion,
you will see near the center of it's south
ern border the fertile province of Mani
toba, containing the greater part Of
Lake Winnipeg, and embracing vast
extent Of rich prairie Land, whose album
dant harvests and bountifu1 pastures
have won for the province worldwide
fame, notwithstanding the long, cold
winter that it has to endure.
Geology has an interesting story TO
tell of the former condition of Mani
toba, and of the origin OF its productive
soil A great lake, exceeding in extent
the whole chain of what we now call
the great lakes, once existed there, and
to this vanished lake, which no man
ever saw though the evidences Of its
former existence are plentiful enough,
the name of Agassiz has been given.
The present Lake Winnipeg is only
the shrunken and dwindled remnant of
the great body of water whose oozy bed
has now been turned into thousands of
harvest HelQS-
But perhaps the most interesting
thing about Lake Agassiz is that it
was formed, SO to speak, by o tremen-
dous dam of ice which shut it in on It's
southern side This was near tho close
of the so-called glacial period, when the
great sheet of ice that had covered
moro than half Of North America was
y
AS the glacial ice melted away, and
the bed of the lake slowly rose with
the diminished pressure, tho waters Of
Lake Agassiz were gradually drained
of. leaving only the Winnipeg Of to-
day, the basin of the Red river Of the
north, and the broad prairies Of Mani
toba as tokens of its former existence,
and evidence of its vast extent

BlAINE'S CONDITION.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 = The Herald's
Washington special says: "Mr. Blaine
had another bad attack last evening, and
for time the outcome was much IN doubt

moned, and after timesucceeded in rally

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26 - Mr.. Blaine's
condition continues to excite gossip, not
withstanding the positive statements of
his family and attending physicians that
there is nothing serious the matter with
him. AS soon as MIR. Blaine is able he
Will leave Washington aud take up his
residence for time In some warmer aud
more even climate than this. 1t is under
stood that Pasadena, Cal, has been select

and MIR. Blaine aud his family will go
there early next month, starting about the
through the south and west by way of the
Southern Pacific. There appears to be
good reason for alarm in the case OF the
invalid.
According to the best obtainable infor-
nation Mr.. Blaine is slowly but surely re-
covering from the recent attack that gave
his family and his friends so much con-
Germ. Mrs Blaine said today that her
husband was better yesterday than he was
the day before and was still better today
than yesterday. She assured his friends
that his condition had never been SO
serious rs to alarm the family.
James 6. Blaine, Jr., left the city this
morning On his way to the railway sta
tion he told friend that his father was
getting along well and would probably be
able 20 start on his contemplated trip to
southern California in a few weeks.
DR.. johnson was seen by . representa-
tive of the Associated Press this evening.
He confirmed the reports ct Mr.. Blaine's
improvement.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
ADOPTED ~ CONVENTION AT BATON

ADOPTED IN CONVENTION AT BATON
ROUGE, DECEMBER It, 1891.
The Democracy of the State of Louis
lana in convention assembled do hereby
declare their allegiance and support of
the time bonored principles Of the Demo.
cratic party which form the foundation of
~ free government and the safeguard of
the liberties of the people. They congEatu.
late the Democrats of this State and other
States on the result of recent congressional
and State elections as ~eVinGing the conf
dence OF the people therein, they grate4
fully acknowledge the skillful election
labors of the minority of last Congress IN
defeating the odious aud undemoeratic
force bill.
They congratulate the people of Louis
lana on the wise, careful and economical
administration of her State affairs; under
the leadership of her present executive,
Francis L. Nichols, and his colleagues In
Office, the FINANCES of hesitate have been
restored to a sound basis and there is an
accumulation of $600,0O 0 in the treasury.
The parish debts have beea largely re-
dnced and, in many instances, extinguish-
ed; the leyees of the State have been re-
built and enlarged and are stronger than
ever before. The State charitable inStitu-
tions have been greatly enlarged and i'm
proved. The school system has been inn
proved and extended; the present condi-
ton of the State exeeedsin prosperity and
promise of future Improvement any pre-
vious era in her history since the war.
The Democratic party of this State can
thus claim, that through its administra-
ton and by the observances of the party's
principle, the State has been placed upon
the high road of general and individual
prosperity to a continuance of this bens-
iicent policy we pledge our nominees.
A single obstruction now stands in the
way of the progress of this State. An
amendment to the State constitution is
proposed whereby its revenues shall be
largely derived from the Louisiana Lot
terry. Such means of raising revenues are
at variance with the civilization of the
century, in opposition to and subversive OF
all Democratic principles. Demanding equal
rights to all, and special pri0ileges t0Rone, We
hereby .reafiTm our uncompremising hos
tility to the entire principle of lottery
gambling as denounced ON the State Dem
ocratic platform of 1883.
We denounce the proposed amendment,
to our. State constitution to be submitted
to the vote of the people in April next asa
concession to a monopoly, wholly undenao-
cratic, and its adoption destructive of our
liberties. No Democratic platform should
be adopted which does not condemn and
denounce all lotteries until they shall
have ceased to exist in Louisiana. nor
should any Democrat vote for any State,
legislative or judicial officer who is not
unaltersbly opposed to lotteries and
pledged to promote the passage of laws
the maintenance of these principles and
policy, this convention pledges its. united
and individual support. and confidently
appeals to the Democrats of Louisiana TO
move on in solid phalanx to assured VIC
tory.

One Of the most important papers
in the January number Of the Cali,
fornian illustrated Magazine, is the
expose Of the secrets of the Chinese
highbinders by fhc Rev. Mr.. Masters,
Superintendent of the Methodist
Chinese Mission in San Francisco.
The paper, which is illustrated, is of
especial interest, as it shows the re-
lation between the highlander war
now going on in San Francisco and
the trouble in China. The expose is
the first ever made, and was taken
from q secret. book kept by these
thugs and murderers. The import.
ance of this to the Chinese may be
imagined, when it is known that it
may be compared to a divulging of
the secrets of Free Masonry suppos.
ing that the latter was for an unWor.
