A Tough job.

1t took three hours to kill Il vicious
elephant, in the vicinity of Liverpool,
recently, and in assisting to bring
about this result medical gentleman
almost succeeded in comprising his
own destruction. "Charles H." was
the name of the elephant. Two Liv0r-
pool physicians were appointed execu-
TONERS. They fed the beast on aconite
concealed in carrots and arsenic
sprinlzled on buns, which it swallowed
pleasantly and asked for more. Then
one medical gentleman conceived the
idea of loading a syringe with prussic
acid, inducing the elephant to open its
mouth, and squirting the poison down
it's throat. Charles ii considered this
great sport, but the doctor who was OPP
Grating the syringe, by reason of his in
terest in the experiment, momentarily
forgot the deadly properties of prussic
acid, inhaled the fumes, and fell I'M
conscious. The other physician saved
his colleagues life with great difficulty,
the elephant looking on with deep sym
pathy. However, after Charles II had
taken enough poison to kill two thou
sand men, according to the doctors, and
three hours had passed since the first
dose, he suddenly toppled over and ex-
pired quietly. Like the other Charles

to last for at least eight months. That
will cost money. There is no national
statute to prevent the inpour of the
poverty-stricken into this poverty
stricken land, but there ought to be.
Long before the late spring of the far
north comes again, starvation with I'M
covered face will stalk among them.
With hunger will come violence, which
the handful of Canadian police will
prove powerless to prevent. That is
the history of all mining camps. First
the finds, with men too busy to do any
thing save delve. Then the saloon.
Then the gambling den. Then the cy-
prian. Then murder.
At present there is little lawlessness.
The mining lands are in British terri
tory and men of all nations seem to be
fairly treated. There is tremendous
amount of gambling, but so far there
has been no pistoling to speak of. Cap
tain Constantine, at the head of the

Gold Commissioner Fawcett has juris-
diction over all mining disputes. JUS
tice is crude but certain. The chance
that each succeeding day may find a
man enormously wealthy, breeds hon
esty. Temptation to steal and rob
will come with undeniable failure.
Just now the sacks of nuggets and
dust are placed in stores, in huts and
saloons. In some instances they are
ranged along the walls in the most open
and public places. Seemingly they are
perfectly secure. There is not much
building. Although the country is
heavily timbered, lumber is selling for
500 per 1000 feet AS it is summer,
the miners are living in tents. The
real estate agent has put in an appear
ance. Building lots are now held as
high as $1,000, though just why, with
millions of acres of country around
them, is not stated. With the approach
of cold weather, the tents must give
way to more substantial structures,
and this will be an added expense to
the man who contemplates mining i'll

The Maritime Canal company's con-

a concession given in 1877 by the Mic
araguan government to F. ALT. Pellas,
which is similar to that granted the
Atlas company. The Nicaraguan gov
eminent expressly announced, howev-
er, that the Maritime Canal company
had the right of ex-appropriation
against Mr.. Pellas.
The authorities believe that the last
concession conflicts just as much with
that belonging to the Maritime Canal
company as did Mr.. Pellas' and they
therefore intend to urge that the new
concession be abrogated.

Make A Full Report,

New York, Oct. ia dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
The minister of war has cabled to
Gen. 'Weyler to embark for Madrid i'm
Imediately, handing over the command
| to Marquis Ahumada, or Gen. Lin
arts. All high civil officials and the
principal lieutenants of Weyler will be
replaced promptly. The governor tele-
graphed an order to cease instantly
all seventies and all rigorous methods
of warfare practiced hitherto.
With the exception of the Conserva-
tives and Republicans, who persist in
counting Weyler, the majority of the
press and public opinion applaud the
new government for gazetting DEGREES
recalling Weyler and appointing Mar
shall Blanco general governor of Cuba.
So determined was the cabinet to act
| vigorously that directly the council of
ministers approved the above DEGREES,
Count Xiquena, minister of public
works, carried them to the palace. The
queen got up from dinner to sign them.
The minister of war telegraphed the
transatlantic company to postpone
to allow Gen. Blanco to embark Tues
day with a numerous staff, six gener-
ais, able officers who served under
Marshall Campos in the early part of
the present war and 10000 myen as re-
Inducements will follow in November.
Gen. Blanco is not expected to be in
position to form a correct estimate
of the situation or to suggest the best
course to follow before the middle of
November. Military operations will
commence directly fine weather per-
mits, against all insurgents not dis
posed to submit on hearing of the con-
templated reforms and the reversal of
the policy of the last two years.
The government has received unfav-
orable intelligence of the revival of the
insurrection in the PHILIPPINE Islands.
The situation there is serious. Several
filibustering expeditions from China
and Japan have landed arms and am
munition on various parts of the coast.
considerable reinforcements will have
to be sent to Manila before the fine
season opens, when the rebels are like
ly to resume offensive operations be-
cause the present governor, Marshal
Rivera, has sent home half the Europ-
can force, believing the rebellion to
be subdued. Marshal Campos declin-
ed to go to the PHILIPPINES, believing
his presence in Spain more necessary
if the eventualities of the colonial wars
should make military dictature neces-
sary.

RECRUITS For CUBA.

New York, Oct. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Highland Falls, N.
Y, says:
The appearance of the schooner
yacht Studio at this and other towns
along the Hudson river a few days
ago seems to have been the signal for
unusual activity among Cuban SYM
pathisers. Companies have been or
ganized secretly and are being drilled
in the mountains about four miles back
of this place.
The yacht came from Florida and
had on board Capt.S.D. Miller, the own
er and his wife. At Cold Spring, just
across the river from West Point, the
Studio tied up for a day. Many men
who are known to be in sympathy
with the Cubans, visited the vessel and
local papers gave full accounts of the
alleged fiiibuster and told of the or
ganization and drilling of the compa-
MES which are expected to start for
Cuba. The arms and equipments of
the men, it is said, have been furnish
ed by the junta. Men formerly of the
army are among the volunteers.

All Returning Miners Tell Stories of

Skaguay, Alaska, October l, via Vic
toria, B. c., October 11.-SeveraI par
ties who have arrived on the Dalton
trail from Klondike repeat the story of
the scarcity of provisions and the pos
sible hunger and starvation with many
there this winter.
James Clark and G. A. Brown, who
have been mining on Birch creek, hav-
ing left Dawson City September 10th at
neon, pulled up the river to fifteen
miles above Pelly river and there
bought a horse and came in over the
supposed Dalton trail, making the
trip in twenty-six days to Haines
mission, getting there on Sunday. They
passed the Thcrp party on the sum-
mitt, with cattle. Most of the party
was discouraged and wanted to turn
back.
About twenty-five persons came out
over the Dalton trail during the past
week. They say there are a good
many following them, all bearing the
same report that there is no actual
trail and that it Is AL miles long.
SUBMITS have to be crossed, innum-
cradle streams forded and it is impos-
sible to find ones way without Indian

Judge w. j. Gaynor May Take Van
Wyck's Place.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE Journal and
Advertiser says:
Nathan Strauss and Richard Croker
| held conference at Great Darlington,
| Mass, with Judge William ]. Gaynor,
of Brooklyn, and Colonel William l..
Brown.
Out of the conference it is declared
will come a readjustment of the DEM
ocratic city ticket, with Judge Gay
nor's name in the place of Robert A.
Van Wyck's as the candidate of the
party for mayor. 1t is known that
Mr.. Strauss and Croker went to Great
Darlington to urge Judge Gaynor's ac-
ceptance of the office; he will be the
candidate if he accepts.
Mr.. Strauss was selected as the
spokesman of the Greater New York
Democracy on account of his close re-
latior with the conservative business
interests of the city, which Judge Gay
nor believed earlier in the campaign
was adverse to his candidacy for the
office of mayor. Mr.. Strauss was en-
powered by the Democratic provision
al committee to say to Judge Gaynor
that his prospects for election for ma
yor at this time had been submitted to
the businessmen of the city, and APP
the business men of the city and APP
cratic organization would support him
unanimously II he acc pied.
These representations were made to
Judge Gaynor at the summer home of
Mr.. Strauss and the three men discuss
ed the matter at length during a drive
to Lenox. Judge Gaynor is disinclin-
ed to accept a place on the ticket on
account of his friendly relation with
Henry George, the independent labor
candidate.
Judge Gaynor said to Messrs. Strauss
and Croker that Henry George, before
accepting the independent nomination
for mayor, had told him that he would
not run if Judge Gaynor was a can
didate.
With this courtesy in mind, Judge
Gaynor hesitated to give his consent.
He has the matter still under consid-
Grafton.

U. S. NAVY WILL KEEP NORTH.
New York, Oct. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Washington, says: The
administration has practically deter
mined to keep the North Atlantic
squadron away from the Gulf during
the coming winter. While no orders
have been issued it is generally under
stood that Secretary Long will follow
the course pursued by his predecessor
and keep the ships away from Florida.
This means that during the cold season
the headquarters of the squadron will
be at Fort Monroe and their evolutions
will be held on the southern drilling
grounds just outside of the capes.
The intention to keep the ships in
northern waters is due, it is understood,
to be the desire of refrain from Civ
ing any evidence of purpose to in
timidate Spain. The negotiations be-
tween the governments are so delicate
in their character that the president
Goes not want to affect them by max
ing what might be considered by the
Spaniards a display of force.
