The San Francisco call., 1896-10-30

which attracted such fiattering encomiums
on Tom Reed day." last Tuesday.
When Mr.. McLachlan rose to speak be
vas gwen a tremendous ovation by the
great audience. Referring to the great
mum pers present, the speaker asserted
tnat ne had met just such experiences in
all OF MS district for the past nine weeks.
his district is 400 miles long, and he
had spoken in nearly every hamlet
throughout this vast territory. The Con-
gresham said that one of the most inn
portant measures to the people of this
coast ever before the National legislature
was the construction of the Nicaragua
canal, and he stood pledged to do every
thing in his power to further the enter
prise; AS to the funding measure, he had
not changed. He was in favor of compel-
ling payment by the roads to the Govern
ment or surrender OF their property TO
the creditor Nation. Two years ago, the
speaker said, he had promised his con-
stituents that he would labor in behalf of
an appropriation for a'deep-sea har bor at
San Pedro, and he had kept his word.

VANCOUVER NUGGET STORY.
The Wife of a Minister is Getting Wealthy
Through the Energy of Her
Ducks

VANCOUVER, B. c.. Oct. 29.-Gold
gizzards of British Columbia chickens-at
least stories to that effect have been circu-
lated-but heretofore there has been a
vagueness about the stories III their chief
particulars. No one saw the nugget in the
giZZard of the chicken or ever heard of
the alleged man who told the story but
now there is q brand new gold nugget
gizzard anecdote at hand, and this time
wife, and it would be both ungallant and
disrespectful TO question the truth of the
statement.
Mrs. A. e. Green OF Eburn, B. c., about
seven miles from Vancouver, informed a
local paper that on the 22d of October she
killed q six-month-old duck that had
been raised in the parsonage yard, and
when dressing 1t was astonished to find
five fine gold nuggets, to the value of
about $20 in its glzZard.
Last New Years, Mrs. Green AYERS, she
