the mountain are matched cabins of the
rudest construction, each having only one
room, partitioned by straw mattings.
There is considerable infusion of African
blood in their veins, for slavery once ex-
listed in the island, and after its abolition
the freed men and the peasantry inter
married. Their language is an odd patois
of the Portuguese, subdivided into as
many dialects as there are valley parishes.
They speak with shrill rising infection
and plaintive, pleading sort of tone,
which gives ludicrously pathetic char
acter even to their jests and idle banter.
The views in the uplands are most in
spring. Straight ahead of us lowered
the sharply pinnacled group of the CEN
trail range-Ruvio, Sidrao, Torres, Tor
torrinhas, Canario, Arriero and Pico
Grande, all 5000 feet high and clustered
within radius of three miles, and each
cleft to the base by gorges of tremendous
depths. On our right rose Piozo, another
lofty mountain, and close by our feet
yawned the mighty canon of Ribeira Frio.
Gold River), a narrow, winding gorge a
thousand feet deep, clothed with verdure.
and on the left the magnificent gorge of
the Ribeira Metade lost itself in the heart
of the mountains
Up and down we toiled, like traversing
the teeth of a saw lengthwise, mounting
by zigzag trails up the sides of precipices,
only to 60 down again by inclines so near
ly perpendicular as to take the breath
away, when the faithful little donkeys
generally put their forefeet close together
and tobogganed to the bottom, we hanging
on regardless of grace or dignity.
The parish of SAINT Anna is a large
struggling village, spreading over a pla.
teau broken by ridges. Nearing it, the
road becomes wider and less precipitous,
over arched by trees, with here and there
picturesque grist mill covered with moss
and ivy. The matched huts are equally
pleasing, clasped in the arms of grape
fuschias and geraniums growing in rank
profusion. The walls of the more pre-
tentious houses are covered with ticus
indiem and shaded by magnificent chest
nut trees, and the vineyards are sprinkled
with salvias and Guernsey lilies. There
is good hotel in the village, and on it reg
lister are inscribed many names we'll
known in Europe and America The inn
occupies ledge on the brow of preci-
pice, l, 100 feet above the sea. From its
windows the panorama is glorious-of
Ruvio, to the south, in its ever changing
robes of mists, and to the east the turret-
ed peak of Courtado, which has a sheer
descent of 1000 feet to the surf in which
its feet are set. FANNIE B. WARD.

The Grand Army Veterans.

The statistics presented at the annual en-
campment of the Massachusetts department
of the Grand Army of the Republic at Low
ell Feb. 18th showed the same gradual thin
ming out of the ranks by death as has of late
been noticeable in the reports of the ma
tional organization. While the department
gained by muster and otherwise LAP mem
bers during the year, it lost BY death and
other causes 1851, making net loss Of 500
The department appears to be in robust
shape, but these figures are solemn remind
ers that the veterans are growing old, and
that their ranks are being rapidly thinned
out by death. Boston Herald.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
PETER leaves today for home. Before
starting he said, concerning the Popu-
list attitude on the presidential ques-
ton.
The recent pronunciamento of a few
Populist gentlemen at st. Louis urg-
ing the Democratic convention TO nom
mate Mr.. Teller was, in my Judgment.
an imperiinence, and it was treacher-
Gus SO far as it attempted to speak for
the PopulisI party as whole. These
gentlemen spoke without authority
from the Populist party as a whole,
and do not believe the party will sus-
tain them. They had not conferred
with the party, and had been given no
permission TO speak for IL. Personally
l have a high regard for Mr.. Teller,
but l have no idea that the old party
spirit OF the Democratic organization
will be so far relaxed as to bring
about his nomination. And n any
event, l do not think existing condl-
tons warrant Populist endorsements of
the Democratic presidential ticket, even
though the nominee is for free silver
and the platform contains positive
free silver declaration. l regard the
Integrity and perpetuity of the Popu-
list party as essential to carrying out
the plan of reforms we have espoused.
The money question is but one of
these.
While the Democratic convention
doubtless will be for free silver, yet IL
will not be expressive of those other
great questions of land tenure and of
labor, which the Populist party regards
as vital. l had hoped that there might
be some amalgamafion of Democrats,
PopuliSts, silver men and all others in
a new declaration of principles, and if
need be a. new name. But the time for
that has gone by, and all that remains
is for the Populist party to main-ain
it's integrity by nominating its own
candidate on it's own platform.
Concerning the Populist candidates,
[ personally favor the nomination of
Gov rnor Holcomb of Nebraska for
first place on the ticket, ana L have
considered Nugent of Texas as the
strongest man for second place up to
the time of his death. Under the cir
cumstances, Tom Watson of Georgia is
the most available man. This COM
bines the west and the south, the two
sections to which we look for results.

Railway Building Record.

NEW YORK. June 25.-The records
of railroad building in 1896 to be pub
Iished in the Railroad Gazette of June
26, show that III miles of road have
been built in the first half of the year:
The new track is built in the first haAf
of the year for seven years past as
follows:
1895. III; 1895, $40: 1894, 4sO; 1898. 1,O25;
1892. !. 2S4; 1891. 1891. 1.704: 1890. 2,O55.
Much of the largest mileage credited
to any one company Of the total given
for the six months. is that built by
the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf,
nearly $40 miles in Arkansas, Texas
and Indian Territory. The second
longest line was built by the San Fran
cisco and San Joaquin valley road, 90
miles, in California.
The detailed statement of the new
mileage by states shows that Cali
fornia built 102 miles Of read. The
second state as to the amount of new
mileage built was Arkansas. with Il
miles. Only four other states and one
territory built as much as forty miles
of new road. These were Florida, with
50 miles: Georgia, with As; Ohio, with
"a; Michigan, 40, and Indian Territory,
with about forty miles.

Wizards Plans.

CHICAGO, June 25.-The Evening
Post of this city publishes an article
to the effect that Henry Willard is to
be again a great factor in American
railroad circles, and declares that he
las secured backing for the attempt to
form of the Baltimore & Ohio, the
Chica go Great Western and the North
ern Pacific, a trans-cOntinenta1 route
between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans.
1t is stated that Mr.. Willard has
really never lost the confidence of his
European supporters. They have
again rallied to his support and have
provided him with sufficient means,
with what he can command on this
side of the Atlantic, to buy in the
Northern Pacific road when it is offer
ed at foreclosure sale next month. The
outward animosity which has seemed
to exist between the Adams reorgan-
ization committee and Willard since the
road went into the hands of the re-
ceivers has really been more apparent
than real.
The Baltimore & Ohio will. in the
course of the next few months, be
sold under the hammer. Willard and
the Rockefellers are reported to have
been quietly buying up its securities
since the receivers got possession of it,
and they have already got enough of
them to, make their ultimate control
of the property absolutely certain. The
story is not entirely confirmed.

Senator Morgan Propounds Il Cues
ton to William o. whitney.
WASHINGTON. June Ex-senator
John T. Morgan of Alabama has adj
dressed an open letter on the silver
question to the Hon. William C. Whit
ney in response to the latter's COM
munication of June 81.
After saying that Mr.. Whitney's let
ter is entitled to the sincere respect
which it receives from the whole peo-
pie Mr.. Morgan discusses somewhat
the question of an International agree
ment, and says:
1T seems to be a very vague and
distant hope that Great Britain will
states real participation in her finan-
cial policy by treaty agreements"
Senator Morgan assumed that no
American statesman can present such
a plan as our government will ever
consent TO adopt or can agree to, under
the constitution, and makes the friend
ly challenge to Mr.. Whitney to state
the plan which you would advise the
Democrats to accept as a. basis, at
least, for an International agreement"
The senator concludes as follows:
LAS you seem to agree with the
Democracy of the south and west that
silver should be fully remonetized. l
respectfully submit to your candid
Judgment whether this restoration of
the rights of our people is not more
Justly to be expected from the action
and power of our own governane MT,
that has never failed in such an effort,
than from Great Britain or any COM
bination of European powers who will
do nothing of the kind except upon the
inducement of some selfish motive"

THE TURF.

CINCINNATI. o.. June 25.-The sum-
mer meeting of the Latonia Jockey
club opened today with clear skies,
warm weather. a slow track and i'm
mense attendance. Turfmen who have
seen all the big derbies this season pro-
nounced it the greatest crowd of the

they swung around the upper turn the
positions were: Ben Elder, Loki, How
ard Mann, Semper Ego and Ben Brush.
Howard Mann dropped back last. and
from then on the positions to the wire
were unchanged save that Ben Brush
moved up on the far turn and went to
the front in the stretch. There was a
brief brush between the two J3ens and
I,olli. but that colt did not Ike the
going and Brush went on winning
handily, Ben Eder second, Loli third,

Semper Ego. The time was 2:401s and
the race. while pretty to look at; was
not sensational. Loki was only started

DEATH OF ALRERT BRINk

Albert Walker. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Brink residing at 123 N street,
died early yesterday morning.
While Albert was only nine years Of
age the news of his death will recall
pathetic incidents to large number of
friends who came in contact with the
family. Albert was a sufferer from
droDsy. which ultimately resulted in
his death. He was unusually bright
for his age and naturally the JOY of
his parents. Shortly before his death
he spoke to his nurse expressing the
hope that all might soon meet in a
better land. Simple as this might seem
it was still vindfcatiOn of the feel
ing which had 4 Judgment in A1bert's

GEORGETOWN, British Guiana,
June S.-TCorrespondence of the Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The financial crash
which has been expected since the
boundary question dropped down upon
the colony on top of the sugar depres-
sion, has come with full force. The
British Guiana bank has been aided by
the local government with 100000 as
a guarantee of the banks liabilities.
but still the 50 currency notes are be-
ing sold in many parts for less than 81.
a number Of merchants are in
trouble in consequence of the financial
unrest. The incidental reason for the
crash was the disappearance of Hugh
Sproston, jr., probably the most impor-
tanG man, financially, in the colony. 1t
is said he committed suicide by drown
ing. but it is claimed he has simply left
the colony. A run on the bank was
started. and as the notes of the Brit
ish Guiana and colonial banks consu-
tufe nearly the entire currency Of the
colony. the government was obliged TO
guarantee the notes to prevent ruin
to many, as tradesmen had begun 20
refuse the notes 1t is feared the lull
which now exists will be the forerun-
rer Of a greater storm. However, as
the men who have been allowed to
overdraw their accounts with the
bank will be forced to either pay up or
sell out when the accounts are straight
ened out, and the opinion is that there
will be a great deal of selling out. No
business is being done.
