RIVERA TO BE SHOT.
Noted Cuban Patriot TO Suffer Ex
treme Penalty.

Noted Cuban Patriot 10 Suffer Ex-
treme Penalty.
NEW YORK, April IA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana, via Key
West, says:
Religions perish when they have no
longer followers who will die for
them" said Ruiz Rivera on his stretch
al at San Cristobal. 81 expect to be
shot Well, it may help the cause.
Other considerations are not import
ant"
Rivera will be tried by summary
eourt-martiaI and may be shot at once
with the gallant Bacallao. though suf-
fering from his wounds. Such are said
to be General Weyler's orders.
No man of Importance has been eX-
ecuted since the war began, and a
great cutlery is likely TO follow if Ri
vera is shot, as the general view is
that civilized nations parole, exchange
OF imprison prisoners of war.
While the Spanish say that the in
surgent is a prisoner Of war 1t is re-
memb ered that General Weyler. in
decree. said: ANY man caught with
out a military pass outside Of the lines
during the state of war is guilty of re-
bellIon."
There are stories of treachery, but
the story most generally accepted here
is that Rivera was surprised and cap
tured owing TO his wounded condition.
He has been charged with incen-
diarism, as is usual. and if he not ex-
ecuted at once it will be because the
SnaDish fear to act in a manner TO
create a feeling against them in The
United States.
1t is said that Rivera is an American
citizen. but he is not registered at the
Consulate, and no appeal has been
made to Consul General Lee. If such
were the case the Spanish would I'M
doubtedly hesitate before shooting him,
for while taken in arms the execution
of such a man would, it is believed
here. cause a strong feeling in the
United States.

Another Tariff :BiII May be Intro
.lLa duced in senate
NEW YORK, March "a Times
special from Washington says: The
Senate Finance Committee is affected
just now by the criticism of the tariff
bills to: a degree not appreciated in
the House.
1t is learned from the late talk of
Senators who are not ready to be
quoted that a tariff bill will be made in
the Senate without strict regard for
the bilr made in the House. That be
ing the case. the Senate desires plenty
of time to do its work.
The Finance Committee says the
House has taken all the time it thought
necessary. The Republicans of the Sen
ate committee have been consulted.
but not all of them. \ slight variation
of opinion in that committee would
turn the bill inside out The members
insist that they are entitled to have
as much time to think about the bill
and TO make calculations as the mem
bers of the House.
BY July or August the meaning of
the Dingley bill is likely to be better
understood, and il is not at all improb-
able that September may be here be-
fore the greater Mckinley bill' shall
have gone TO the President for his
signature.

snow Yacht of the Basswood.

Have you ever seen the snow yachts of the basswood? Almost any breezy day in early winter they frolic swiftly over the snow in the parks or in the woods. There is Q funny little brown sail about inches long, curled at the edges and looking very much like a dried leaf. At the center of this there is q stiff stem, with several little green balls hanging at the end of it. When tho wind blows, it catches the sail and whisl1s it over the snow or ice, and the balls are dragged along behind, like anchors.
 This snow yacht, sail and all, grows on the basswood tree in the summer. The balls are the basswood fruit, and tho sail is little braet It hangs fast to the limb until all of the leaves are gone and good sleighing comes. Then the winter winds twist 1t off, and it falls to the surface of the snow, to be driven far away from the parent tree. In the little balls are the basswood seeds, and when the yacht is finally lost in drift ed fence corner or near rotten log tho balls remain still until the SHOW melts, and then the seeds fall into the ground and a young basswood sprouts. Nature has provided this marvellous way for the basswood to scatter it's seeds, sometimes for miles across the snow. Chicago Record.

Christmas In Russia.

Children i'll Russia have a way of eel ebrating Christmas that is quite differ ent from that of American boys and girls. In certain part of Russia it is customary for the little people to dress to represent animals and go running about town like wild beasts. Sometimes they represent wolves bears and even ostriches. Of course this is done by dressing in the skins of wild beasts. The boys who are not disguised as ami ma1s pretend they are the keepers. Some of the party play musical instru- ments. Others carry torches, and alto gether the sight is very weird. They go to every house and give an entertain ment, Then, of course, the inmates of fer them refreshments at the end of the performance.
 At other places in Russia religious entertainments are popular. These en- tertainments are given in a small play house with marionettes (the little fig ures made to act by means of strings). One boy carries the small theater on his shoulder Another carries a brilliant banner and another a long pole, to the end of which is fastened Q lantern. These lanterns are arranged something like the ones used in political parades in this country. The sides are transpar- ent, and on them are sl1etched scenes representing the Christian history of the dav

Captain Anderson, superintendent of the Yellowstone National park, says that an effort is being made to secure legislation from congress which would add the Jackson's Hole country to the park. The area which it was proposed to take in is about 50 miles square and contains Jackson's lake and the Three Futon mountain peaks. It is rich in natural scenery and woald, in the opin- ion of the captain, add materially to the parks attraotiyeness.

Report Of the Commission Now In Course
 og Preparation.
 The report of the interoontinental railway commission is now in course of preparation and will be completed in a short time, The commission was ap- pointed several years ago to select . route for railway connecting the Unit ed States with Central and South Amer ica and all the countries through which the line would run arc represented in the commission, including the United States of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Ven ozuela and Paraguay The proposed line runs along tho Pacific coast through Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras, Mica. ragua, Costa Rioa, Colombia, Ecuador. Peru and Chile, whence it oonyerges to the cast.
 4 small portion of the line is already built, and several of the governments are now making concessions to private enterprises to extend the rail oommuni- cation. The commission will estimate in its report that about 1, 800 miles of the road will have to be constructed, reach ing from the Mexican frontier to Lake Titieaoa, in Peru. Only few hundred miles will have to be built by the Chil- can government in order to connect Q terminus of her system with the propos- cd line.
 Some trouble is being experienced in estimating the total cost of the line on account of the fact that in some sections the cost will be $20, 900 per mile and in others twill reach $60, 900. One of the engineers has estimated the cost of tho line across Ecuador at more than S18,- 000, GOO, and the estimate for Peru is about $40, 000 GOO. The commission will express it's conviction of the entire praotioability of the proposed railway. Several of the governments named have already adopted the route selected by the commission, and Guatemala is aotu- ally carrying out the recommendations of the commission so far as It's territory is concerned.
