New Fru,ts From Labrador.

In spite of latitude and Arctic current
Labrador is the home of much that is
delicious in the berry world. Three va
rieties of blueberries, blackberries, wild
red currants, having pungent, roman
tic flavor, unequaled by the cultivated
varieties, marshberries, raspberries, tiny
white capillaire tea berries, with flavor
like some rare perfume, and having just
squash berries, bear berries and curlew
berries, white the latter not so grateful
as the others, but prime favorlte with
the Esquimaux, who prefer it to almost
any other; and lastly, the typical Lab
rador fruit, which excepting few scat
tering plants in Canada and Newfound-
land, is found nowhere outside of the
Peninsula-the gorgeous bake apple.
These cover the entire coast, from the
St. Lawrence to Ungava Their beauti-
full geranium-like leaves struggle with
the reindeer moss upon the islands, car
pet alike the low valleys and the highest
hilltops, and even peep from banks of
everlasting snow. Only one berry grows
upon each plant, but this one makes
most delicious mouthful. 1t is the size
and form of a large dewberry, but the
color is bright crimson, half-riPe, and
a golden yellow at maturity. It's taste is
sweetly acid, it is exceedingly juicy, and
so delicate that it might be thought i'm
possible to preserve it-Outing.

DON'T AMOUNT TO MUCH.
Cuban Resolutions Discounted at
Havana-COnsuIs Resign.

acknowledgements hcAAEn.
Madrid, March 3-The correspondent
of the impartial at Havana cables that
little importance is attached there to the
Cuban resolutions of the United States
Congress.
Captain General Weyler has cabled to
the government saying that he does not
at present need the achievements of
$4,000 men which have been offreed by
the government.
The Marquis of Tomillas had long
conference today with Admiral Beran-
ger, the minister of marine, at which
he offered the government all the
steamers and the coal depots of the
Trans Atlantic company. The minister
of marine accepted this offer, which will
be debated at the cabinet council to be
held tomorrow. Eight of these steamers
will be forthwith armed and placed IN
der the command of naval officers.
The students of Madrid University
came to a decision to renew their anti
demonstrations today. The
rector of the university, learning of this
determination, had fifty of the students
arrested. The result has been that the
good order of the city has not been dis
turbed today.
All Spaniards who have been acting
as consuls of the United States have re-
signed.

Loss IN NEW ENGLAND.
Two Millions to Cover the D~struc-
tiOn by Flood.

Boston, March with the subsid-
ence of the waters, which, during Sun
day night, Monday and Tuesday over
whelmed greater part of New Eng
land, figures of losses sustained are
coming in, and from those received il is
apparent that the total damage in this
section will be considerably more than
100000. This does not include the
wages lost to thousands of laboring men
and women, through suspension of
manufacturing and other industries.
Six lives have been lost.
The main financial loss is divided be-
tween Maine, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,, and Maine bears about
half New Hampshire has been swept
from one end to the other, and heavy
losses at Manchester and Dover will
bring the total in that state closely upon
a million dollars Massachusetts, at
Lowell and Lawrence, and in The Mer-
rimac river valley, suffers heavily, but
$25oooo will probably cover what she
loses.

Wants to Reconsider.

Washington, March 3.-Senator Cor
mans notice, given in the Senate today,
of his intention to move to reconsider
the bill passed yesterday authorizing the
Secretary of the Navy to enlist 10000
additional men, has created some com
ment, and it is understood that it will
be antagonized by the committee on
naval affairs. Senator German said,
when asked as to his purpose, that he
thought the senate ought to have more
time for its consideration than was given
when the bill was before it, and that he
expected, if he succeeded in securing
reconsideration, to move an amendment
limiting the time in which the Secretary
can exercise the authority conferred.

New York, March "A special tc
the World from Havana says: The news
of the action of the United State con
gress has penetrated to every insurgeni
camp within thirty miles of Havana
and the Cuban patriots are wild with
! jov Comment is various, depending
upon comparative Intelligence. All the
rank and file seem to think President
Cleveland will act as matter of course
All are jubilant over what they feel 10
be glorious finale The more ignorant
honestly believe that now Spain must
lay down her arms. They cannot dis
tinguish between diplomatic recogni-
ton and armed interference. The less
ignorant think that now cartridges and
rifles will Immediately become plentiful
and that expeditions from the United
States will arrive daily. The intelli-
gent, or about IS per cent of the Cuban
soldiers, realize that it will be at least a
month before any real efforts will be
felt.
The feeling among the common sol
diers is that something great is to hap
pen at once. The educated leaders are
uneasy. They fear the effects of disaP-
pointment upon the men when they
find that, should it be completed, the
recognition of Cuban belligerency does
not produce immediate and great results
in favor of the Cuban cause. To con
duct successfully a prolonged fight with
the sword alone against the finest of
modern rifles requires the highest
courage in the Cuban cavalry. This
they have done, and this it is that the
leaders are afraid disappointment may
weaken. The maehete must be depend
ed upon until they get cartridges. These
are what the Cuban leaders want. They
have men enough and guns enough
they want cartridges. And they want
their men to keep their spirits up until
cartridges come. They feel that their
agents in the United States would have
an easier time in sending ammunition un-
der belligerent rights than without
them. But if cartridges and Congress
both fail them, they still think Spain will
have to spend more money than she can
get to win tie war
The Spanish troops have not been
paid for three months. They are with
out money and there is not sufficient
food to sustain them properly. This
question is not so serious to the CubaEs,
Tor their projects have been storing up
ood in safe places for months, and their
mountains with their thousands of cattle
ire always at hand.

Texas street Duel.

St. Louis, March ga special to the
Republic from Memphis, Tex, says:
John R. Jones, president of the Memphis
Nationol bank, was MORALLY wounded,
and his son, Nat, dangerously hurt in a
shooting ARRAY here today. The elder
Jones died at o'clock tonight The
father and son left the band to go to
dinner about noon today. On the street
they met w. NJ. Pardue, an attorney, and
a man named Scarborough. There had
been a feud of long standing between
Pardue and Jones, and not ten words
passed before shooting began. d. D.
Dodd, son-in-law of Jones, says that
Pardue and his companion were the ag-
gressors. John r. Jones received
pistol ball in the right temple that
ranged down and came out of the mouth
and shattered the jaw. Another bullet
went through his shoulder, another
struck him in the thigh. Nat Jones was

MADRID ANFLAMED.
The Bold BulIfghters Full OF War
like Enthusiasm.

Madrid, March If one may judge
by the things that have been said and
some of the things that have been done
today, the Spanish people are deter
mined to go to war forthwith with the
United States and to speedily avenge
the insult which it is fancied, has been
offered to the hauty pride of Spain by
the United States senate in determining
to recognize the provisional govern
ment as belligerent power, and to ask
the president to use his good offices
with Spain to obtain recognition of Gu
ban independence.
Some of the organs of public opinion
declare that the bankruptcy of the
Spanish government would not prevent
the Spanish people from taking up the

Rome, March 1.-The kingdom OF II
ally today is in condition of excite
ment, grief and anger almost beyond
description. Every dispatch from Mas
sowah adds to the gravity of the disas-
ter to the Italian army at Adowa, Abys-
sinia.
When the first news of Gen. Baratie-
ri's defeat reached the city, the report
had it only 500 men had been killed
then yesterday afternoon the numbers
ran up to 5000 killed, with sixty pieces
of artillery captured. This mornings
dispatches place the number killed in
battle and the long harrassing retreat
which followed at S 900. Is is believed
that not even these figures tell the full
extent of the disaster.
No mention is made of the wounded,
and there is good reason. based on sto-
ries of recent Italian defeats by the
Abyssinians, to believe that those who
fell wounded during the retreat of over
fifty miles met more horrible fate than
those killed on the spot.
Throughout the night the garrison
here was kept under arms and mounted
patrols traversed the principal streets.
The streets were filled with people until
daybrcak, and after early morning every
public place was crowded with excited
men and women. Several distu. Dances
~ bicb called for Dolice interference &C.
Cured today, and indications are that
the people are assuming a most threat
ening attitude, not only in Rome, bat
throughout Italy.

mIssOuRI DEMOCRATS.
GoIk Wing Of the Party VIII Fight
the silver Wing

St. Louis, Feb. 29.-As the result of a
call issued several days ago, 800 pronii-
nenl Missouri Democrats who are op-
posed to the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 10 to assembled here TO-
day to protest, as they term it, against
being "read out of the party"
Among the more prominent leaders
present were Chairman Charles M.
Maffitt Of the Democratic State central
committee, Congressman U. S. Hall,
ex- Governor Francis and Hon. James o.
Broadeead.
A Elengthy address TO the Democrats
of Missouri was adopted unanimously.
1t starts out by declaring that the I'M
precedented action of calling the State
convention to meet in Sedalia on April
18th, to elect delegates to the National
convention, three months in advance Of
the meeting of the convention wac done
with the avowed purpose of influencing
the party in other states and committing
the National Democracy to the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver at the ratio
OF % TO 1, regardless of the relative
commercial value of the two metals and
regardless of the action of the other
commercial nations of the world.
The address then goes on to say: ITO
make to the country at large a showing
of strength they do not possess, the
advocates of this policy openly avow
their intention to secure the National
delegates from every district in the
State, if need be by depriving the voters
of the several districts of the right
never before questioned, of choosing
their own representatives and electing
them through the action of the entire
body of the State convention.
"And while these advocates of free
silver propose, if they find themselves
in a majority in the State convention,
to deny all right of representation to
the minority, many of them at the
same time avow their purpose not to
submit to the majority in the National
convention, if that majority shall be
adverse to them, but TO array the De-
mocracy of Missouri against the plat
form and nominee of the National De
at is the highest duty of all Demo
Gratis who hold to the ancient faith of
the party to no longer tamely submit
to a policy which has brought upon
the party nothing but humiliation and
is fraught with menace to the best in
terests of the country. We, therefore,
loyal Democrats, call upon the voters of
the party everywhere throughout the
State to max an open. active and organ
lied opposition to the effort to commit
the party to a policy which can only
end in disaster and if all who hold with |
us will assert themselves by voice and
BY vote, we may yet rescue the State
from the threatened misfortune of Re
publican rule"
A committee on organization, COM
posed of two delegates from each Con-
yressional district, was appointed, with
* Governor Francis as chairman.

Gomezs movement is said o be de-
signed to effect a union with the forces
of La Crete in the province of Santa
Clara. The avowed purpose of the au-
thorities in the fighting which has been
going on for several days past on the
borders between Havana and Mantanzas
provinces has been to prevent the pro-
posed movement of Gomez and Maceo
Eastward into Santa Clara
