MAYv1LLE, December 29.-The Tur
nerverein gave reception to Congress-
man Sauerherr1ng in their hall to- night.
Prof. FL. H. Forkman acted as toast
master, and made brief address COM
plimentary to Mr.. Sauerhering as an
officer and member of the society.
Toasts were responded to by vario
members. The speakers dwelt mainly
upon the progress of the society under
the leadership of Mr.. Sauerhering dur
ing the past seven years. During that
time the hall has been enlarged and
extensive Improvements made, and the
heavy debt most entirely paid off, This
is due largely to the energy and enter
prise of Mr.. Sauerhering. He respon d.
ed at the close, thanking the society
and his friends for their kind words
and for their appreciation of his efforts
in behalf of the society. The Turner
band of this city furnished music for

cellent pieces. Mr.. Sauerhering has
been speaker of the Turnerverein dur
ing the past seven years, and will va
cate his chair at the close of the pres
ent year on account of his official duties
at Washington.

Hog Cholera at Milford.

Recently what was supposed to be
hog cholera was discovered in drove
of swine owned by Fred Heller, of the
town of Milford. DR.. A. FL. Hartwig,
of this city, was called on the case and
diagnosed the disease as cholera. He
ordered the usual precautions taken
against the spread of the disease-the
animals affected being separated from
the others, disinfected and treated in :
ternally Later Mr.. Heller was visited
by quack, who claimed DR.. Hartwig
was wrong in his diagnosis and that he
had a cure. He was permitted to try
his remedy and forthwith returned the
isolated hogs to their former disease
ridden quarters. Upon being informed
of this state of affairs DR.. Hartwig
sought the ADVICE Of State Veterinarian
Scott, of Beaver Dam, who one day
last week made a visit to Mr.. Heller's
farm. DR.. Scott confirmed DR.. Hart
wigs diagnosis and upheld his course
in every way. He at the same time
ordered every diseased animal killed
and burned and the place quarantined,
and forbade the owner to bring any Of
his hogs to market. Owing to follow
ing the quack's advice Mr.. Heller now
has but few hogs left. The state veter-
marian urged the prosecution of the

The Relief Measures.
The promptness with which the
house of representatives responded
TO the request for financial relief
made by the president in his message
last week is exemplary of Republican
methods in constructing and bringing
TO successful elimination the legisa-
ton of the country. Within week
after the presidents message the Re-
publican house has framed and
passed bills to replenish the depleted
treasury and meet the exigencies OF
the governmental finances.
Two bills were framed, a revenue
bill changing somewhat the provisions
OF the last tariff act to take effect
Immediately upon its passage and re-
main in force until August /, 1898,
and second providing for the issu-
ance of short time, low interest bonds
which does away with the present
necessity of bond issues being made
under the act of 1878 with the &C.
companylng evil of high interest and
thirty year redemption limit.
The revenue bill transfers woolens'

passed by practically strict party

and one silver man voting with the
majority.
The bond measure provides for the
issuance of five year per cent. bonds
for the purpose of redeeming legal

secretary of the treasury to issue GER

a BRIDGE GAVE way.
And Crowded street Car Plung es into
Victoria Halbor.

VICTORIA. B. c., May ga terrible
accident occurred here today. A eham
fight and review was to take place at
Macaulay point, near Esquimalt, this
afternoon, and crowds were making their
way there by every route All. the tram
cars were packed. Shortly before two
o'clock two cars left Government street
with more than 100 people. The first
got over Point Ellice bridge, which
crosses Victoria Arm, safely, but when
the other was about half way over the
middle span If the bridge, about $50 feet
in length, gave way. and the car plunged
into the water, some 100 feet below.
The car was completely submerged, and
all on board were drowned, with the ex-
ception OF some of those who we're stand
ing on the platforms and who, escaping
injury from falling timbers, managed to
saye themselves by using the floating
ruins of the bridge, and thus got ashore.
Numbers of the bodies have already been
got up. and the work of Identification is
proceeding. It is difficult matter, a
great many of the bodies are those of
visitors.
So far as at present known, there are
over sixty killed.
When the bridge broke down there
were several carriages on it, and these
also were precipitated into the water.
Superintendent Wilson was driving one
of these. and had his FIVE children with
him. He succeeded in saving himself
and four children. The fifth. a little
boy, was wedged between some iron bars
and was drowned.

Slaughter of Helpless Inhab-
itants Still Continues.
WHOLESALE sslNATIoNs
InsurEent Generals i Responsible for Many
of the nIurders-A Havana News
paPer's Opinion.

TAMPA Fla, May 26.-A tobacco mer-
chant, who has Just returned here from
Havana, says of the situation in Cuba:
sit goes against the grain to credit all
the stories of atrocities which have
reached Havana from the interior of
Cuba, yet many of these stories are sub
stantially true.
Every one who has been able to get
out into the field of warfare has brought
back confirmation of the reports which
have crept into the city underground.
Some of these slaughters have been
wholesale. In some instances they have
taken the form of executions without
trial of one or two sympathizers with
the rebellion. In others they have been
simple assassinations.
'..These killings are justified on the
ground that apparent noncombatants
are not such in fact, but are sympa-
thizers with and aiders of the rebellion,
or pillagers and destroyers of property.
It is easy to justify these acts. No ma
tion has recognized the belligerency OF
the Cuban rebels. 1t is only just to cay
that it is the volunteers, rather than the
regular Spanish soldiers who are guilty
of these excesses. 1t is true, also, that
the shedding of the blood of noncombat-
ants is not confined to the Spanish
troops. In Pinar del Rio there is q
revel of death in which Maceo, as well
as the Spanish volunteers, is prime
figure. The rebel general dominates in
that province, through fear. His orders
have gone forth, with the penalty Of
death attached, and the violation oi
those edicts has been followed with sum
mary punishments. The insurgents, il
is said, hang those whom they condemn
rather than to put them to death with
the machete.
This is the character of thew being
waged in Cuba, and it presents the same
questions of humanity which led Grant
to propose intervention in the revolu
tion of 1868. The Cnbans show no signI
of yielding. Indeed, they gain strength
daily. They hsunt the Spanish at theil
very deFenses on the trocha. Confess
edly, General Weyler must bring mort
men from Spain to enter upon an often
sive campaign"

A Great Gathering to Be Held at Wash
ington City.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-It seems as
sured that the Christian Endeavor con-
vention, to be held in this city within
two months. will be the greatest gather
ing of the kind ever held. It will be
notable for the number of new features
in the program. It is proposed to pay
particular attention to evangelistic work
during the convention.
The delegates will go forth, as they
did at Boston, to the missions and other
evangelistic outposts and hold services
in the remote and dark corners of the
city, as well as in public places where
men congregate. For the first time in
the history of the annual gatherings,
gospsl wagons will be used by the dele
gates.
An entirely new feature of the pro-
gram will be daily Bible readings in one
of the large churches, conducted by
some student of recognized ability.
The junior workers rally, Friday
morning with the three-tent sessions.
coincident with the three-tent sessions,
is one more enlargement. One unique
feature will be an open-air demonstra-
tion at the foot of the Washington mon
ument. There is room at this place for
tens of thousands of people to congre-
gate. After this service it is proposed
that the Endeavorers march down Penn
sylvania avenue to the capitol, where,
with added siOnif7cance the vood cifi-
zenship demonstration will be contin-
ned. The last novelty, as we'll as one of
the greatest, will be the first convention
of the Worlds Christian Endeavor
Union.

coming to Helena she has gained the
confidence of prominent merchants, who
set her up in the oil business here and

HAVANA, May 26.-Diario Ell Ejercito,
regarded as the organ of the Spanish
army in Cuba, in discussing the possl-
bllity OF war with the United States
says:
ssWe have q greater army than was
ever before in Spanish America, Our
soldiers are inyincible. We have got
together an astonishing amount of war
material. But, while we have an army
more than sufficient to deal with the
Yankees, our great warships are in
European waters. In case of the OPEN
ing Of hostilities they would have to
navigate 5000 miles, and as they must
travel at high speed they would use up
most of the coal possible to be carried
in their bunkers before they could get
here %
The paper then Dints out the diff
Guilty that would be found in coaling
warships and suggests the necessity OF
Spain bringing to Cuba sufficient sup
ply Of coal and the establishment of the
coaling vessels within reach of the war
ships. At present the United States is

WORK is UNDER WAY.
The Astoria Line Is Again Scene Of
Activity,

one Of the signs OF approaching better
times In this section Is the resumption
of work on the Astoria and Goble road.
Before the election, owing to the free
silver agitation, orders were given Ia
the contractors to reduce their force to
u point where the monthly outlay came
to n very few thousand dollars. This
meant reduction of the force TO a
minimum, and involved the discharge
OF a large number OF men and teams,
and the withdrawal Of purchases of all
kinds of supplies, especially in the line
OF farm products, such as hay, oats,
barley. bacon, potatoes, etc, but, now
that the election OF Mckinley is an as
sured fact, orders have been issued to
the general contractors to resume work
to the fullest capacity. This means the
unemployment Of large force of men
and the purchase of hundreds OF thous-
and> of dollars worth OF supplies Of all
kinds In this immediate market.
No time is being lost by the contract
ors, who are hiring men as fast as they
present themselves, and no able-bodied
