VCkSBURG MILITARY PARK.
Bill to Buy 1900 Acres of Land and
Appropriate $4,000.

Bill to Buy 1900 Acres of Land and
Appropriate $4,000.
Washington, Feb. 3.-The bill pro-
viding for the establishment of the
Vicksburg national military park,
where the principal operations of the
war in and around that city were car
rie1 on, has been reported to the house
by Representative Bishop (Mich.) from
the military affairs committee. The
whole amount of land embraced in the
proposed reservation covers about ], 200
acres, the cost of which is not to exceed
$4,000. The $4,000 additional which
the bill proposes to appropriate will be
used in making accurate surveys of
the various lines of both the union and
confederate armies, building roads,
clearing the grounds and so far as pos
STOLE restoring the various forts, re-
doubts and intrenchments connected
with that memorable siege. The entire
plan and scope of the bill follows very
closely upon that adopted in the estab-
lishment of the Chickamauga park, ex-
ccpt that the cost will be only frac-
ton of the amount devoted to the
Chickamauga field.
Four of the great battle fields
Gettysburg, Antietam, Chickamauga
and Shiloh-says the accompanying re.
port, have by congressional enactment
been dedicated as national parks, as
they had before been consecrated by
the best blood of the American youth
i'll both armies. The importance of
the campaign and siege of vicksburg
is not inferior to any of the fields now
dedicated. The siege and the operations
connected Herewith were participated
in by troops from the following states:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New
York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Vir-
GINA and Wisconsin.

Declared Unconstitutional

Section 81, of chapter "a. of the gen.
eral laws of 1898, relative to the illegal
shipping into Minnesota of game killed
out of season in another state, has
been declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court The validity of the
statute was called into question by
Edwin O. Keith, accused of having in
his possession one prairie chicken,
killed and shipped from North Dakota,
contrary to the laws of that state.
Keith was confined in the county Jail
and appealed to the supreme court from
an order of the Ramsey county district
court denying his petition to be re-
leased on writ of habeas corpus. The
order of the lower court is reversed on
the ground that the section is unconsti-
tutlonal, because the subject is not ex-
pressed in the title of the act of which
it is a part, as required by article 4,
section 81, of the state constitution,
which is expressed in these words: mo
law shall embrace more than one sub
ject, which shall be expressed in it's
title"

THE CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.
Eject In Havana of the News of the Sen
ate'S Action.

ate'S Action.
Havana, Feb. 3.-News of the action
Of the foreign relations committee of
the United States senate was like a
bombshell here. The Spaniards had re-
lied on assurances that the United
States would refuse to recognize the
belligerency of the Cubans. All cables
intimating the committees probable
action were suppressed. Frequent ca
bles from Madrid were published stat
ing there was no probability of favor
able action. The Spaniards felt secure
and the Cubans had lost hope of recog-
milton. The first step created a ire
mendous sensation. The government
refused to permit the papers to publish
New York cables, but allowed them to
Print Madrid cables stating that the
cabinet held a session to consider the
action of the committee in favor of the
recognition of belligercncy. The Span
iards are highly indignant. The news
paper organs of the conservative and
reform parties denounce the action and
refuse to believe that congress and the
president will approve. They declared
if the United States took such action
they would lose more than Spain. They
called attention to Spain's additions to
the navy and increase of defenses for
Cuban ports, saying Spain is prepared
for any emergency.
The Cubans went wild with ioy.
Many failed to understand that final ac-
ton has not yet been taken. The Gu
bans declared all they wanted was an
opportunity to build ships, arms and
ammunition. They said the adoption
of the report meant victory for the
Cuban cause. The feeling against Amer
leans in Spanish circles is increasing.
There is little doubt that further action
by the United States will make their
position here uncomfortable. The
American residents here would feel Sc
cure if war ship were here. The moral
effect alone would be great. Germany
is the only foreign nation represented
here now. She has three school ships
IN the harbor. The French fleet is said
to be coming. The Americans declare
keeping the war ships away is an out
rage.

Time and Tide

"Time and tide wait for no man, saith
the adage but there are many other things
OF the non-waiting kind which will not be
put OF and ought not to be. Half the mis-
cry OF the world is caused by delay, and
rheumatism is one of those insidious Ills
which demands prompt attention, especially
in mid-winter, when the cold accelerates its
action and intensihes pain. If allowed to have
its way, it will wait for no man in its rapid
development of the chronic stage. When
this is reached, then come troubles, not
only in its misery but in many ways where
helpless condition throws the sufferer out
OF work and money. But whether in its
acute, chronic or inflammatory stage, don't
wait: The tide of pain will go on and so
will loss of time. At the same time we all
know that st. Jacobs Oil is made and sold
FOR the express purpose of curing the worst
cases in their worst form at any stage. It
has cured and will cure in nine cases out Of
ten.
