Today, With Philip F. Brown
as Manager.
DINING ROOM DECORATED
With Eyergrecns, Ferns and Flow.
ers-A Heavy Travel Expected
by the Management of This
Popular Winter Resort
During This Season.

Since the purchase of the far
famed Ocala House by the Plant
System Of railways and hotels
three years ago, under the man
agement Of Philip T. Brown and
his able assistant, r. G.. Rogers,
the house has enjoyed a very
flattering patronage, even though
the state has gone through the
most trying financial epoch.
The Ocala House is, by long
odds, the best hostelery between
Jacksonville and Tampa, and
many are the tourists who are
beguiled into spending a season
10 our fair little city by the fame
of this house as a winter resort.
1t has not been found profitable
to keep the dining room of the
house open through the summer
months, as the compar atively
light travel and the large and eX-
pensive retinue Of servants made
it impracticabie, and accordingly,
when the time of opening arrives,
the pleasure among our own cit
izens and the travelling patrons
Of the house is manifest.
Preparations were begun a
week ago for the opening of the
beautiful dining room, which
pleasing event took place this
morning and a breakfast that
would have done credit to a Cape
May chef, was spread before the
gneSts. Some improvements and
attractive touches have been
made in and about the dining
room since last season, and the
beautiful and artistic decorations
of evergreens, ferns and flowers
were very appropriate. This
pleasing feature was adopted by
Mr.. Brown and is kept up
throughout the entire season.
The opening of the Ocala
House is the signal for travel to
start OCalaward, and the effect
will almost Immediately be felt.
Under the present management
of the hotel it has gained an en-
viable reputation for its excellent
table, and its fame is by no means
confined to this state, as long be.
fore the opening Of the house let.
ters came from the North engag.
ing rooms for certain periods OF
the winter.
We congratulate the Plant
System on its excellent hotel
but hotel without good man.
aGement IS not a success, and
it is also TO be congratulated
upon securing the services o
such elninently capable and wide
ly popular men as Philip f
Brown, the manager. and hi:
able assistant, r. c. Rogers.

TO PREVENT STARVATION.
Secretary Alger Planning to Send Supplies to
the Klondyke

Secretary Alger Is now engaged In an
attempt to solve the question of how
to get supplies into the Klondike gold
regions and thereby prevent the threat
cned starvation of many miners. The
great Yukon river is without doubt al
ready closed to navigation by boats,
and the mountain passes via ChilkoOt
are almost impossible. The problem,
therefore, is a hard one.
Now, however, II Is believed by the
Secretary that by means Of "A novel plan
of transportation supplies may be pro-
Nded even in the midst of an Alaskan
winter. He has opened correspondence
indirectly with a Chicago inventor who
inally for use in logging camps, but
which, ii Is hoped, may be readily
adapted to the navigation Of the Yukon
when it Is frozen thckly. With a few
of these machines placed on the river
ii il hoped that a sufficient supply ol
food and other necessary stores can be
carried up the Yukon to relieve distress
attending the miners.
The Secretary has already had some
experience with this kind of locomotive.
When engaged in numbering in the
Northwest he tried the engine practi-
Cally, and found II was capable of pull
ling many tons of logs on sleds at a
good speed, even as high as II miles an
hour. The engine is boxed in like a
freight car, and the engineer and fire
man are thereby protected from the
rigors of the winter!

FLEEING FROM FAMINE. -
Food Supply Limited and Sold to Miners
Only in Small Quantities,

The steamer Bella, of the Alaska
Commercial Company, passed the
steamer Hamilton recently. There are
30 passengers on the Bella, 70 of whom
are miners returning from the Klon-
dyke with their stakes. said to aggre-
gate 5000 and the remainder are
prospectors fleeing from the shadow of
Canine to come.
Louis Sloss. Jr., of the Alaska Com
mercial Company, who was on board
confirmed all the stories hitherto given
of the shortage of food supplies.
we have been compelled To adopt
measures" said he, ''to prevent single
individuals from cornering food sup
plies. For this reason we limited tho
quantity of grub to be sold to each
person. One sack of -four each week
is all that any man is allowed to pur
chase. We closed our store for time
when the Bella arrived, declining To
sell to any one until we found out what
we had in stock and how far II would
go toward supplying the orders We had
already. We will not sell supplies tn
either hotels or restaurants and, as far
as possible to miners only"

THE WAR in INDIA.
British Encounter Courageous Soldiers Among
the Rebellious Natives.

Advices from the front are not reas-
suring. The advance Of the British
troops against the insurgent tribes in
India is hampered by the mountainous
and almost painless country and the
difficulty of obtaining water. Gen. jeff
rey's brigade few days ago, attacked
the enemy at Damotaga and drove
them into the hills, but was compelled
to retire after having burned the towers
and capured 400 mule loads of supplies.
The tribemens loss when they defeated
Gen. Blood at Anayat on Thursday Is
said to have been very heavy. Captain
Ryder's company of Sikhs owed their
lives to an Afridi sergeant Of the Guides
corps, who, when the Sksh had ex-
hausted their ammunition and were
desperately cutting their way back
through the enemy, dashed up the hill
under heavy fire with a supply Of
cartridges. He arrived just in the nick
of time, as the swordmen of the enemy
were already among the Sikhs, who
were absolutely unable, after the heavy
climb and the hard fighting, to continue
successful struggle. The Queen has
sent the following dispatch with refer
ence to the reverse near Camp Anayat:
II am deeply grieved at the loss of so
many brave officers and men. earnest
ly desire to be Informed as to the con-
dition of all the wounded. The conduct
of the troops was most admirable"

IRRIGATION SCHEME.
Waters Of the Mississippi to be Diverted by a
Canal 100 Miles in Length.

Ex-Lieut Gov. Percy Daniels of To-
peka, kans., has a gigantic plan to pre-
sent to the irrigation congress, which
is soon to be held in Nebraska and to
which he is a delegate. Mr.. Daniels
proposes to tap the Missouri river at
its junction with the Milk river, in Mon
tana, and turn its waters into a canal
that will empty into the Red river of
Texas. The length of the canal by an
air line would be 1000 miles, but the
length of the meandering in conformity
with interceptlng water courses would
be LOO miles. The cost would be $780,
100000 The average width Is to be 160
feet and the depth Is.
Mr. Daniels estimates that with
fall Of four inches to the mile the ca
pacity of the channel in a current of
one mile an hour would be 10000 cubic
feet of water per second. Thus the
canal besides being used for irrigation
through Nebraska. Kansas, Colorado,
Oklahoma and Arkansas. would be able
to take care of the surplus water which
might otherwise cause disastrous floods
on the Mississippi. He believes the
canal could also be used as a water
way for hauling freight in competition
with the railways.

WAR MUST CEASE.
Speedy Termination Of the Devastations in
Cuba Demanded by Wooford.

A dispatch from San Sebastian says
that in his interview a few days ago
with the duke of Tetuan, the Spanish
minister for foreign affairs. the United
States minister to Spain. Gen. Stewart
l.. Woodford. did not present any claim
for indemnity. but confined the inter-
view to a moderate phase in the state
ment of the great injuries commerce
and industry had suffered In the United
States through the prolongation of the
Cuban war.
Gen. Woodford is said to have added
that Secretary Sherman had desired
him to declare to the Spanish govern
ment that It was evidently impossible
for Spain to end the rebellion in a rea-
sonable time and further. that If the
war continued Cuba would be deVas-
tated and of no utility to Spain or to
the Cubans.
In conclusion the United States Min
lister is reported to have insisted cour-
teously but firmly upon the necessity
of terminating the war, declaring that
If it was not terminated by the end OF
October the United States would feel
justified in taking measures to secure
the independence of Cuba.

Woman Dies in q Quarter Whore sixty
People were Accustomed to slsep.

Six new cases and one death was
Sundays record at New Orleans. The
death was that OF Joseph Gisfasy, an
Italian. The report of DIR. Metz. the
city chemist, on the condition Of the
Italian quarter, moved the board to
prompt acceptance of the offer of the
city Of the Marine hospital as a refuge.
DR.. Metz found as many as sixty peo-
pie huddled together I'm the Italian
quarter. living in squalor and filth. In
one Of the rooms a goat was found
sleeping nightly with the family. The
woman Graffato. who died, having yell
low fever, was taken from this quarter,
and the board realized that unless
something was done at once the block
in which the woman had lived was
likely soon TO become a plague spot. 1t
was, therefore, decided to guard and
thoroughly disinfect and fumgate the
entire square. and To remove as soon
as spossible most of the families to the
old Marine hospital.
One death, that of Frank Donaldson.
was reported from Mobile, Ala, sun
day. He was 16 years of age and

THE CAR ATTENDS.
Great Sum Of Money to b Distributsd to Fight
Disease.

Last Tuesday King Oscar II. OF Nor
way and Sweden celebrated his twenty
fifth anniversary of his accession to
the throne. The celebration was a
notable event in Sweden's history.

Berlin Academy of Science. the Berlin
Academy of Fine Arts, the University
of Bologna and oxford and Cambridge

amount had been raised among the
people. The king has decided to devote

CALLS US 4 FOURTH-RAIE NATION.
ENGLAND BITTER.
United States Said to Have q Swelled Head,
ard to occupy Minor Position.

Much bitter feeling is being mani
tested at London toward the United
states since the publication of the
Behring Sea correspondence. The
Globe" printed long editorial on the
matter a few days ago, and after stat
ing the futility of arbitration with a
power which disregards alike the le-
gal prescriptions and ordinary courte-
sizes of civilized nations" says:
The shuifiing. violent and insolent
policy pursued toward this country at
Washington demonstrates the absolute
futiity of arbitration. The Globe
would view with the greatest regret
the prospect of war between this coun-
try and the United States. but in her
relations with England we are ire
sistihly reminded of Il small boy rely
ing upon the contemptuous good nature
of big fellow. America is the insig-
hificant urchin. and the big boy who
could swallow him at a mouthful Is
England"
Lord Salisbury has treated the
United States with a kindness they do
not deserve, always wearing the silk
glove. until America has forgotten the
existence of the iron hand beneath il.
The idea of our being afraid of a
fourth power like the United
States could only have occurred to suf-
terers from severe attack of swelled
head. America has lost all sense of
proportion and has forgotten she plays
only minor role in the affairs Of the
world.
we hope our relations with America
win hereafter be distinguished by a
irmer tone, as the only way to avert
trouble is to make her plainly under
stand that We are determined not to be
shouted out of our rights
