tinues Dry with H. bit showers at rather long
intervals. This weather suits the taking off
Of the crop, which is now in full swing; but
ram is much wanted for the growing crop.
LightJouyn's Mail Notes of the 22nd April
contains a statement that Revd. w. Watson,
Rector Of st. PanI's, Basin, has been robbed
Of $500. 1t is true that Mr.. Watson, who by
the way is Rector Of St. Johns, not St. Paul's,
has been robbed; but the amount stolen is
fortunately only about fourteen, not four
hundred dollars.

Iowa PsohibitIonists In Session.

Drs Morsrs. May IS.-The prohi.
bition state convention opened this
morning. Temporary Chairman j.
A. Harvey spoke at length, declaring
that tho republican party in Iowa
had bent everything in favor Of SEN
ator Allison; had enacted the mulct
law in the interest OF his presiden-
tial candidacy. He accused the party
OF disloyalty to the people and
blamed II for the present national
financial condition. lie said the
capitalists and the United States
supreme court had declared the in
come tax unconstitutional.
A telegram was received from the
Nebraska committee urging the con-
vention TO charge the delegates for Eu-
gene Bentley for president. Greetings
were returned. The convention went
into district caucuses 70 select candi-
dates for congress, national dele
gates, members OF tho state and
national committees. The free silver
sentiment was indorsed with cheers
and amens.

Rrodrome or flying machine has no gas to

the contrary is about 1000 times heavier,

what in the way in which thin ice supports
a swift skater. The power is derived from
a steam engine through the means of pro-
pelers, but owing to the scale on which
the actual ;erodrome is built there has
been no condeusing apparatus to use the
water over and over.
Enough can be carried for only brief
flight, a difficulty which does not belong
to larger machines than the present ex-
ample, IN which the supporting surfaces
are bat about fourteen feet from tip to

about orc-half mile. The rate of speed
depends (as in the case OF any vehicle on

That Il 30 sny, Some Escnch Views Of Our
PoHoy ~ Cuba.

Policy ~ Cuba.
PANS, May 13-The Figaro, referring to
the attitude of the United states toward
Cuba, says: "The United States authori-
ties. since the outbreak of the revolt, have
observed an attitude Of defiance toward
spain and support Of the insurgents.
They ought 20 consider that Europe will
not sanction this mode Of action. If the
Monroe doctrine permits the Americans to
drive the Sraniav,is from Cuba it also
permits them To turn tho French and the
British out Of their possessions in the An
TILES"
The Solcil. commenting on the samc
subjcct, remarks: The United States
have no more right To interfere in tine af-
fairs II Spain than to mix themselves up
with the affairs cf siuatlaloupc, Martinique
and siuinna. II spain loses Cuba it will
bc n terrible blow to kuropsan influence
in the Antilles
Lc Matjn says: Europe will protest
unanimously against the continual inter-
ference Of Americans in matters which de
not concern them. The United States gov
ernmcnt does not gain credit by pleading
the prisoners case Without cxtcnuatinc
circumstances
The Ganlois expresses the opinion that
the STEPS taken by the United States in the
Cuban question are not Of a nature to fa.
cilitate its settlement.
