WEALTHY AND BRAVE NATION
Only the Organs of the Spanfards
Raise Their Voices Against
the United States.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 25.-The
press continues to give support to
President Cleveland, who has be-
come immensely popular here, and
one paper declares that he has the
public sentiment of all the new world
behind him; that he is invincible, and
that he has injected into the public
law of the world the Monroe doc
trine, which is the reason why Eu-
rope is maddened and utters grave
threats. But Europe will find that
all the nations of this hemisphere de-
clare it to be international law, for
the people of the new world are SOW
ereign on this side of the sea and
have now the formidable support of
a great nation which has revolution
lied the art of naval warfare and
compelled England to copy it. Be-
sides that, the United States, which,
i'm its civil war, put two million
brave men in the field, can raise even
greater armies now, for it is a ma
ton Of 7O,000,0OO rich, brave and

has been called to halt, and England
will have to yield its arrogant pre-
tensions on this side of the Atlantic.
All the leading journals take the
side of the United States in unequivo-
cal language, the only dissenting
voices being the clerical organ, Ell
TEMPO, and the organs of resident
Spaniards, who declare the United
States is on the brink of ruin, finan-
cial and political, and in peril of the
combined hostile action Of Europe, to
which the Mexican Heraldo replies
that the United States can, by re-
imposition Of the sugar tax and by
raising the beer tax, wipe out it's
deficit and convert it into a surplus;
that the American people were never
stronger and abler to cope with any
foe than now. The Heraldo ridfcules

eign journals.

is estimated that fully 1000 have no
right to the Indian range. This will be
done to improve the condition of the
range, and it is for this purpose that
the big roundup has been undertaken.
The band of horses now being driven
toward the extemporized corrals have
be-n gathered in the region north of
the Pend d'Oreille river. AS soon as
the cutting out has been accomplished
the riders will cross the river. and will
roundup the stock between that
stream and Grow crsek, and there will
be another separator at the Aliard
ranch ON Mud creek. In addition to
the removal of all alien horses, Agent
Carter has ordered that all cayuse
stations may be disposed of in order
that thsre may be some Improvement
in the grade of horses raised on the
reserve. Thus, the roundup will ac-
complish a double purpose.

CABINET CHRISTMAS.
The President Enjoyed Himself
With His Family.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The presi-
dent and cabinet officials in Washing
ton, generally, with the exception of
the Republican members of the ways
and means committee, who labored to
complete the text of their tariff and
bond bills, spent quiet and enjoyable
Christmas, free from the anXieties and
excitements of the past six or eight
days. The president and Mrs. Cleve-
land had provided a large Christmas
tree for the three little ones, Ruth,
Esther and Marion, and spent most of
the day making merry with the chill
dren and their numerous presents. The
vice president and Mrs. Stevenson and
their daughters were the guests of Mrs.
Stevenson's sister, on Sixteenth street.
The members of the cabinet remained
at their homes and nearly every one
of them had with him members of mis-
family or kinsfolk from out of town.
The day was unusually mild and the
weather heavy and foggy.

MIR. DANIELS, s5o.5O RAT.
Misdeeds of a Member of a Light
Opera Company.

Opera Company.
Probably one of the highest priced
rats now living is in the possession Of
Frank Daniels, the actor. Daniels has
two rats who support him in his light
opera, ''Iyhe Wizard of the Nile" He
bought them at Detroit a few months
ago for fifty cents apiece, and named
them Madge and Billy. The rat dealer
who sold them said they were cheap at
the price, and warranted them to be
intelligent, kind, tractable, and willing.
They had already entered upon a course
of education, he said, and if the actor
would feed them himself they would
soon come to know him and be fond
of him.
What shall I feed 'em on?" asked
Daniels.
"Oh. anything at ALL" replied the
dealer. Meat, bread, cheese. leather,
cloth, grease; they'll eat anything but
scrap iron"
Subsequently, their new proprietor
discovered this to be true, and it Is
because Of her onnivorous propensities
that Madge is now valued at S50.50.
Shortly after their purchase the two
rodents were duly installed In the Ca
sino, where Daniels Is now starring.
They had a small part in the last act,
consisting of scrambling out of the
Wizards bottle and cavorting around
the floor to the dismay-not all feign-
ed-of the chorus. Among the chorus
girls Madge and Billy were far from
popular, and one evening when Dan
fels let them out for a frolic supposing
1T
there came very near being no perform
ance owing to Billy's wandering away.
The chorus climbed into the flies, the
soprano locked herself in her dress
ing room, the second soprano and con-
tralto perched themselves perilously on
a ladder, and one and all vowed and

HERD Of FIVE THOUSAND.
Great ROund-Up on the JOcko In
dian Reservation in Montana.


Five thousand horses in a single
bunch, rearing, running, snorting and
shying, urged on by two score pictur-
esque Indian and half-breed riders,
sending into the air a. cloud of dust
that envelopes and partially conceals
the vast band of cayuses as the riders
with swish of ropes, with shouts and
yells, urged on the surging band of half
wild creatures before them, writes a
correspondent from the Jocko Indian
agency, says the Anaconda Standard.
1t is a picture seldom seen now, and
only possible in the unrestricted range
of the reservation, a picture, if seen,
never to be forgotten. The scene has
an incompatible setting. In the back
ground rise the rugged, majestic peaks
of the Mission range; from their base
stretches forward a dense, black area
of timber, and, in the foreground, the
rolling prairie of the valley of the Pend
d'Oreille river. Overhead the sky is
clear, but above the mountains snow
clouds hover and the rocky peaks are
already silvered with the first white
covering of the year.
For five days these bronze riders
have secured the northern range of the
reservation, driving before them every
horse that was found in this long sec
ton Of country. They have ridden
across the rolling ground of the lower
valley; they have searched the can
yons; they have penetrated the dense
timber Of the foothills; they have
climbed to the open peaks on the
mountain side. From valley and canon
and hillside they have driven the half
wild horses, and have gathered them on
the banks Of the Pend d'OReiIle river
for the cutting out,
Five thousand tossing heads, 10000
vicious eyes. 10000 tramping hoofs!
Almost as far as the eyes can reach are
horses, horses, horses. There are
steeds of every color and Of every size.
Nearly all of them are the mean,
treacherous Indian ponies, some of
them shapely and handsome, 1t is true,
but in every eye there is a flash of
wildness that betokeIs i'll for the man
who attempts to tame the owner.
Here and there in mass of horses that
is being urged onward at a trot is a big
fierce-looking animal that evidences
good breeding. But there are not many
of these. They are nearly all cayuses
of the cayusest order
AT one of the ranches on the banks of
the river are three big, well-fenced
pastures, and here the cutting out will
be done. On the reservation there are
now about 5000 horses, and Of these 1t

WAR A CERTAINTY.
George kennan Takes Il Pessimis-
tic View of the SituatiOn.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 25.-George
KEENAN,, the well-known writer and
lecturer, speaking of the Venezuelan
dispute, says:
'T am surprised, in fact, dumfounded
at the readiness of the American peo-
pie to bring on first-class war. Two
months ago every mouth in this land
was preaching peace at the contempla-
=tion of war in the Orient and Europe,
and here today even the ministers Of
the gospel are shouting for war.
81 regret the condition because
greatly fear that terribly war is i'm
minent. England will not back down
from her position. This can be taken
for a certainty. If President Cleve-
lands Interpretation of the Monroe
doctrine is not altered and continues
to be upheld, we shall have war and the
greatest war that ever transpired. It
will not only take in the United States
and Great Britain, but will involve the
entire world.
"A foreign war will be very disas-
trous to us, and while I have no doubt
that we- shall ultimately win and add
Canada to our possessions, it will be
very close to ru1nation for US. Such
81 war is bound to come unless the
United States backs down, and I do
not think it will 1t will be the great
est calamity to humanity that has ever

GREEN CHRISTMAS.
Elaborate Musical Services in New
York Churches.

NEW YORK, Dec. Pa gray sky,
and fog that threatened at any
minute to be accompanied by rain,
greeted younger New York this morn
ing as it arose in eager anticipation OF
it's customary Christmas greetings and
gifts. The weather prophet had been
correct in his prediction. 1t was a
green Christmas, with an atmospheric
suited to Jacksonville. The usual
crowds went to the early masses, and
the sumptuous religious ceremonies
later in the day were largely attended.
The musical programmes in the Episcopal
and Catholic churches were elaborate
and very attractive, and greatly
pleased the tens of thousands who
thronged the edifices. Perhaps the
greatest crowds were at St. Patrick's s
cathedral and Old Trinity. At St.
Francis Xavier church, in West
Eighteenth street, the services were
specially elaborate. At all the public
institutions there were distributions of
food in abundance.

BoNsPIEL AT DULUTH.
st. Paul Curriers' Advised of the
Details of the Event.

The members of the St. Paul Curl
ing club have received definite word
from Duluth as to the details of the
fourth annual bonspiel of the North
western Curling association, which this
year meets at the head of the lakes
Jan l3 to IS, inclusive.
Duluth curriers' have been assured
that st. Paul will send half a dozen
rinks to struggle for the honors in the
eight events on the card, which in
clude the Duluth Jobbers' Union
trophy, the Pfster trophy, the st. Paul
Jobbers Union trophy, the Walker In
ternational trophy, the George F. Hall
diamond mccall to say nothing of the
medals, buttons, and curling stones
hung up for the minor events.
Good weather is reported from Glen
Avon, where the Duluth rink is situ-
ated, and with a good attendance from
the clubs belonging to the association
the bonspiel promises to be an unquali-
ued success.
Some of the most noted exponents of
the '"roar.n' game" will be on the ice,
and some repetitiOns of old-time strug-
giles may reasonably be looked for.

NO MORE GREAT RANCHES.
Instead 4 Syndicate Will Control
California Lands for Small
Farmers

San Francisco Chronicle.
A syndicate has been formed to pur-
chase and place on the market over a
dozen of the largest and most valuable
ranches in northern California. All ar
rangementS for closing the deal have
been perfected, and within a. few days
all the papers required to bind the
holders of the vast tracts of land to
the terms of the transfer will be drawn
up and signed. From present indica-
tions the syndicate will close with 1885,
600 acres, though it is probable that an
additional 10, 900 of the Cone ranch may
be admitted into the deal. All this
property, which is now owned and cul-
tivated by a few wealthy men, will be
cut up into small ranches of twenty
and forty acres and be improved with
dwellings and outhouses. When the
vast acreage of the syndicate land is
taken into consideration, and the fact
that the land has a frontage of seven
ty-four miles on the west banks of the
Sacramento, besides a large frontage
ON the east bank, the colossal extent of
the big land deal will be readily appar-
ent.
Arrangements are not yet completed
as to the Cone property, as it is not
definitely known whether the original
offer of the Cone estate Of 1900 acres
will be supplemented with an addt-
tional 10000 acres. Arrangements have
been completed for the transfer of 153,-
900 acres. The most important holdings
in the list are as follows: On the west
side of the Sacramento river-Boggs,
L, 400 acres; Glenn, Al 800 acres; Cham
bers, 10000 acres; Finnell, 10000 acres;
Tyler, 1900 acres; Hamstreet, 1,500
acres; Hart, 800 acres; Rawson, 4,74
Revis grant, 5000 acres; Bidwell, 1000
acres; Cone, 5000 acres; Wilson, $500
acres. These are the principal hold
ings, and they are interspersed with
smaller holdings of 1000 acres and less.
Mr.. Chambers, who has placed 10000
syndicate, is a prominent capitalist of
st. Louis. His agent and attorney, in
fact, is John Finnell, who has put an
equal amount of land into the pool. Mr..
Ffnnell has telegraphed to Mr.. Cham
bers to come to San Francisco in order
that he might approve the action taken
in his absence and upon Mr.. Chambers
arrival the papers will be signed and
the deal closed. To expedite the work
Of dividing the big holdings into small
improved ranches, and thus attract
settlers to California. a corporation
will be formed. to which all the lands
enumerated will be decided eventually.
The sale of the stock Of the corporation
will be used to pay the owners for their
have signified their willingness to take
the purchase price of their land in
part at least, in stock Then the plan
will be to subdivide the land Into
classes. Lands are to be offered at
value, and whatever surplus is de-
rived above the cost to the corpora
ton will be distributed to the pur-
chasers of the land when the first sub
division Of 10000 acres is closed out
The object hs to sell the land at a very
low figure, 1t being the ultimate and
paramount object to all interested to
secure a subdivision and occupation Of
the country by actual settlers.
