Improve the Streets.

Our streets for the past week or

systematic effort for Improvement.
Enough money has been spent on
Main street in h past sever oreight
years to properly pave and drain it
several times over. The trouble seems
to have been IA lack OF knowledge
and system i'm the work performed.
One year the street is raised i'm the
centre and the mex flattened out and
thus the money is spent without any
substantial benefit.
Our citizens should see to it that
under the new law, with some one
who has at least a slight knowledge
of engineering to direct the work.
that II systematic and sensible plan
be adopted Il improve at least Main
street so as to prevent the duck
ponds and mud puddlcs of the early
spring. This can readily he done at
no great cost.
There is a grade in two directions
and with a drain made of heavy
planks the water can becarried direct
to the creek from the head of Main
street or directed down or parallel
with the creek at any of the cross
streets. The streets should be raised
i'm the centre SO as to shed the water
to either side, and crushed rock or
gravel used to harden and fill up the
depressions. One or two blocks
should be taken at a time and the
work performed i'm a thorough man.

money at the disposal of this district,
something substantial and of per-
manent benefit would result in a few
years. As it is the money spent every
year is practically wasted. Good
bitches should be made to carry the
water from the benches above town
instead OF allowing it to run hap
hazard as at present. A committee
of business men should consult with
the county surveyor and help inaugu-
rate a better system this spring and
thus start the work which will even
tually prove a lasting benefit.

ARGENTINA REFUSES UNITED
STATES WHEAT.

New York, Nov. IA special to
the Herald from Buenos Ayres, says:
+ Several cargoes of American cereals
which recently arrived here could not
be sold and will be taken to Europe.
The steamship Sandman Prince which
arrived here last week with a cargo
of wheat, will sail without unloading
it.
This refusal of American cereals is
due to the fact that Argentina's crop is
more than sufficient for home use
Millers refuse to receive foreign grain

tevidio, Uruguay, telegraphs that five
sailors of Ell Captain, an American
ship, tried to desert. The boat they

Chairman Cannon, of the House APP
proptiations Committee, doesn't intend
that the work of his committee shall
furnish any excuse for lengthening the
coming session of congress. He has
announced all of the subcommittee
and notified the members to report for
work on the appropriation bills in their
charge on the 9th inst, more than a
week ahead of the assembling of con-
gress.
AS President Mckinley has never
had doubt that the senate would ra-
tify the treaty for the annexation of
Hawaii, he was not surprised at the
publication of a trustworthy poll OF
the senate showing that more than the
required two thirds of the senate had
stated their intention to vote for ratifi-
cation. The only thing that can make
trouble in this connection will be for
the hand full of senator's who are OPP
posed to ratification to take advantage
of the absence of cloture rule in the
senate and stave off a vote indefinite
ly by talking against time whenever
the treaty is taken up.

Insurgents Likely to Meet Pendro in
Pitched Battle.
New York, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
The following is a copy of an official
intendente militair to Gen. Blanco:
Your Excellency: The chief officer
in charge of the provisions for this
garrison notifies me that the amount
of 100000 is owed by the government
to the furnishers of provisions, consist
ing principally of flour and biscuits and
that there is no possibility of the furn-
ishers continuing furnishing provisions
unless three-tenths of the debt is paid
in order to enable them to purchase
the necessary articles in the market
and send the corresponding draft.
Manufacturing of biscuits have
stopped for the same causes, and, as
this is of the greatest Importance, APP
ply to your respectable authority and
ask you to induce the intendente de
hacienda, director of the finances of
the island, to please pay the bill already
prevented by him, avoiding by this the
above mentioned conflict.
Several skirmishers are reported from
various provinces. Col. Payaso, with
200 men attacked a Spanish column
near La Coloma, killing several and
capturing twenty three. A small fight
took place in the Calabrote hills, where
the rebels used dynamite with great eff
feet.
A battle of considerable importance
has taken place near Guanajay. The
Cubans were commanded by Rodri-
guez and Pendro Diaz in the fight.
The Spaniards had forty-siX killed and
one hundred and seventy wounded.
The rebel loss was also heavy. On
account of the condition of the ground
the Spaniards could make no use of
their artillery and were obliged to re-
treat to the forts of the town. The
rebels set fire to the brushwood sur
rounding the town and tried to burn
the town, but rain spoiled the scheme,
This is the district to which Gen. Par
RADIO is proceeding and as there are
strong forces of Cubans near there, a
pitched battle is not unlikely.

All Safe For The Winter, Says Capt.
Deroll.
New York, Nov. ia special to the
Herald from New Bedford, Mass,
| says:
Capt. David +. Devoll. of this city,
master of steam whaler William Bailey
who has just returned from cruise
| in the Arctic, says he believes the
crews of the whalers caught in the ice
are safely sheltered in their ships.
He thinks they are anchored in the
lagoon a few miles from the Alaskan
shore, east of Point Burrows. Capt
Devoll says the Beliveder, Orca. Jesse
Freeman, Rosario and Alexander
started from the cruising grounds
east of Point Burrows in company.
Reaching the reef, which forms a sort
of breakwater the five ships encounter
ed new ice, when they all swung
around the west end of the reef and en-
| tered the lagoon, favorite harbor for
whalement when in that locality.
The men in charge of the vessels thus
caught, he adds, were masters of ex-
lperience and knows just what is nee
essary under such circumstances. He
thinks the Belvidere, Orca and Free
man had a sufficient quantity of pro-
visions to provide for the crews of the
-four vessels until next summer.
Capt. Devoll believes that the Fear
less, Newport, Wanderer and JEANNE,
the other four ships supposed to be nj
peril further to the eastward are at
Hot Shell island. He says it was
known that they were there August 26
with the ships that intended to winter
north and he does not believe that an
attempt was made by them to come
west when they found ice breaking.
| Ice made usually early the past sea-
son. He further adds that if they are
sheltered at Herstell there is no reason
to believe that they are in any danger.

THE World is able to say on very

Cuba, which Spain now promises.
Second, that the president will ex-
press the hops that Cubans will not

form of autonomy.
Third, that if the Cubans heed his
advances Spain will be given more time
interference from the United
States.
Fourth, the president says he ar
IDENTIFY desires peace both at home and
abroad. War scares and belligerency
disturb business, retard
and do no good. A new
Congress is to be chosen next fall and
everything depends on good times
A season of peace from Cuban sensa-
