One would suppose tina, the speech
OF Lord Charles Bcrrsforl iii today's
isue fell from the lips OF an Irish Ma
tionaiist who desires governments;
for the land of his birth. On the con-
trary. he is Tory and opposed to Home
Rule, but still he does not want to pa.;s
for anything but an freshman. He Las
sprung from II family which is udiou-
in Irish history In 1898 the Dcrcsfords
distinguished themselves in barbari,y &c
the rebels who fell into their cruel
hands. No Beresford can get into IL I.
British parliament from ireland on n,e
count of the family record, and Lord
Charles knows 1t.

THE BIG YUKON SCHEME.


BILL STILL IN COMMITTEE AT
DOVER MAY BE CONNECTED
WITH 1T.
Early in the legislative session a bill
was introduced in the House TO char
ter the Yukon Mining. Trading and
Transportation Company. It's fran
chises were so sweeping that Chairman
Smith and his colleagues on the House
Committee on Private Corporations
could never see their way clear to re-
port II favorably, although great pres
sure was brought to bear upon them to
do so.
The ineorporators named in the bill
were Preston Lea, Willard Salisbury,
Jr., G. Il. Hutchings, James w. Ponder
and Samuel Isenschmid and at one time
they were so confident of the bill
passing that they advertised a meeting
Of the stockholders for purposes of or
ganization, but it is still in committee
Later in the session it was rumored
that the company had received a char
ter elsewhere, but the rumor was
never verified.
A dispatch from Seattle, Wash.
says:
ELI A. Gage, manager of the North
American Transportation and Trading
Company, said to-day that a chartered
British company is proposing to operate
on the Yukon river on the same plan
and scale as that of the famous char
tered South African Company. 1t pro
poses to build and govern towns ant
cities, maintain a force of soldiers
operate mines, build steamships, etc
The company has millions of money
back of it."
This may be part and parcel of th'
same scheme as the powers granted il
| the Dover bill are almost identical.

Saturday night Of the notorious Samuel
WershevsSy. Prosecutor Logue thinks
he has secured the head of the gang Of
horse thieves who have been operating
from this section of the country to the
lower end of the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. "Bill" Wershevsky, Sam S
brother, was arrested some time ago,
but Sam skipped and could not be To-
Gated. In order to bait Sam, so that he
might disclose himself, Bill" was re-
leased "for lack Of evidence" to hold
him. Last Friday night Sam" came
back to his home in Rosenhayn and
was captured Saturday night. There
are about fourteen men, mostly Rus
sian Jews. concerned in this horse
stealing business. and Sam is reported
as being the most daring of the lot, and
the arrest is looked upon as a most i'm
pOrtant one.

Crlsfeld, Md, June S.-The officials

MINCED PIRA1Es AT sEA.
Gorgeous-Hued Hummine Birds Lit
ernIly Capture "A Steamer.

GOrEeOus-Hued HumminE birds LII
ernIly Capture steamer.
A horde of pirates boarded the steam
er Walla Walla the otherday when she
was IS miles off Cape Mendocino on
the Pacific coast.
There were about 200 of them, and
they swarmed over the vessel, laying
nbout them to right and left, and
plunging their swords into everything
that seemed Of value.
Their gorgeous plumage futtering
about the deck made the ship seem like
bird fancier's shop. for these pirates
were n big flock of humming birds with
a stiff land breeze behind them. They
had burst suddenly out of dense fog,
and alighted on the vessel at dusk.
The birds seemed so nearly dead with
hunger and fatigue that they had lost
all fear Of human beings. They had
probably been driven off shore by the
land breeze and lost in the fog. Some
of them perched on the first solid ar
tieles they saw, gave two or three lit
tie gasps, and then tumbled over dead.
Some went straight for the heads Of
two or three women passengers who
wore flowers in their hats, and began
buzzing about them as industriously
MS if the flowers contained nectar. One
few into the ear of w. S. Mcfarland
and lodged there so tightly that it could
not get out without assistance. Third
Mate Hogan caught one in nis ear, and
one on his mustache, and neither bird
lost moment before it began to drill
for food.
The captain and the passengers
quickly did all they could to care for
the half-starved creatures. They
brought out pans of water and bread
crumbs and Jumps of sugar, and the
birds made haste to FIJI themselves
Some of them ate until they were SO
full that they rolled over on their sides
and lay on the deck, blinking happily
at all around them. Lumps of sugar
soaked in water were their greatest de
light, but these they would not eat un'
less the Jumps were held in someone's
half-closed hand.
Capt. Wallace held a lump of sugar In
his mouth and two of the birds buzzeC
about his face and sucked at the sugar
greedily. The captain kept 20 of th'
birds in his cabin over night, and many
of the passengers had dozen each il
their rooms.
When the vessel was close to Poin
Reyes the next day most of the birds
were liberated. and as soon as they
looked about and saw land many flew
directly to It. But about so did not car'
TO risk so short journey over th'
ocean wave, and decided to stick to th
ship.
But the sea voyage, following tn
hardships and exhaustion of the da.
before, was too much for the frail lit
tie things. and they gradually droope'
and died. When the Walla Walla cam
into port here the captain still had fou
, humming birds alive, and the passen
gers had as many more.-Chicago jour

BRIGHT FUTURE OF BRAZIL.

Essentially an Agricultural Country
Susceptible to VAST Development.
Undoubtedly the coming power of
South America is Brazil. William
Harper, of Philadelphia, who has just
returned from a commercial tour of the
various South American countries, ise en-
tlfisiastic over the prospects of the
young republic, and gives glowing nc
count of its resources. According to
Mr.. Harper, Brazil occupies approxi-
mately the some position in the south
temperate zone as this country occupies
in the north temperate zone. 1t has
coast line of 4,2OO miles, and contains
an area of 3,261, 900 squire miles, which
makes it almost the size of Europe, and
100000 square miles larger than the
United States. There are 42 ports along
the coast. of which Rio de Janeiro is
the largest on account of it's extensive
anchorage and the safety it affords to
shipping. The other leading ports are:
Para, Maranpao, Parabyba, Pernambu-
CO, Macio, Aracaju, Bahia, Ilheos, Santa
Cruz, Porto Segura, Victoria SaB-
tos, Paranague, Santa Carparina and
Rio Grande do Sui.
The country along the Atlantic coast
as far north as Bahia and extending
back into the interior for distance Of
400 or 400 miles is rather mountainous.
To the north and west of tsis region,
however, the country is richly produc-
tive, abounding in diversified crops and
scanned with broad rivers. Brazil ises-
sentlally agricultural in the character
of its soil and climate. Among its va
rious products are india rubber, cocoa
sugar cane, cotton, tobacco, coffee, nuts
and various other exports. Although
II comprises greater territory than
the United States, it includes only 20
states. Four of these are inland, while
the remaining 16 border upon the sea
coast. Scattered over the vast terri
tory Of Brazil is thin population Of
only 16,5OO,0 600, half white and half
mixed breed. Most of the immigrants
that yearly pour into the country are
from Spain, Italy and Portugal, al
though within the last few years larger
proportions have been derived from
| other sources.
With such vast material wealth as
the country possesses it is evident that
great prosperity awaits our sister re-
/ public. If the present republican form
of government is maintained and good
inducements are held out to immigrants
this prosperity will not be long in ma
terializing, and our sister republic OF
Brazil VIII inevitably become one OF
the greatest powers of South America
