A NOISY MOB.
Cheers NJ. Rochefort ms He Goes to
Prison In Paris.

Paris, Feb. 21.-Two thousand people
assembled Sunday afternoon in front
OF the st. Pelagie prison, well known as
prison for offending journalists, to
greet Henri Rochefort, editor of the
lntransigeant, on entering to serve a
sentence of five days Imprisonment for
Iibeling Joseph Reinach, conservative
deputy for the district of Digne, and
editor of the Republique Franchise, by
charging him with intending to prove
the innocence of Alfred Dreyfus by the
means of forged documents.
1t was four o'clock before M. Roche
fort arrived. The crowd focked around
his carriage shouting, "Vive Roche
fort!" and "Vive la commune!" the
police being powerless to restrain them.
M. Rochefort alighted, and, waving his
handkerchief and escorted by the peo-
pie, walked to the prison gates. About
Roche, one of the deputies for Paris,
the editor of LIE Jour, and the assistant
editors of the Intransigeant, accom-
panied him inside the building amid
continuous cheers from the populace.
The crowd then dispersed, singing the
Carmagnole and shouting: 'Vive la
commune!" and completely blocking
traffic in the Rue Monge.
Suddenly new gathering of 5000,
headed by M. Millevoye, Thiebaud and
Regis, marched toward the Pantheon,
yelling: "Down with Zola!" and
death to the Jews!" The police
formed across the road and stopped the
progress of the demonstration. M.
Thiebaud eulogized M. Rochefort as
the man who will "toll the knell for the
Jews" Finally the mob dispersed amid
shouts of "Conspuez Zola!" and similar
cries. 1t is variously estimated from
10000 to $4,000 people took part in the
demonstration. This suffices to show
that public feeling is unchanged.

DROPPED HER ANCHOR.
The Spanish Warship vizcaya Pro-
ceeds to New York.
Greeted by SaIutes from the Forts
Well Guarded by Our Government
Latest News Regarding the
Maine Disaster.

New York, Feb. 81. - The Spanish
cruiser Vizcaya, in command of Capt.
Eulate, came through the Narrows
Sunday afternoon and anchored off
Tompkinsville, S. l., where she is close
ly guarded by navy yard tugs and police
patrol boats. The Vizcaya has been ly-
ing outside of the bar since Friday
night and was unable to come into the
harbor, owing to the dense fog and
rainstorm which have prevailed for over
AZ hours. The Spanish cruiser has been
expected to arrive here since last Mon
day, and the unfortunate catastrophe
by which so many American sailors and
marines lost their lives in Havana harbor
last Tuesday night aroused more than
the ordinary interest in the arrival of
the visitor. The feeling which prevails
among great many people in this vi
cinity that the American battle ship
was destroyed deliberately by enemies
of the United States prompted the naval
authorities to guard against any pos
sible harm being done to the visiting
Spaniard at the hands of fanatics.
Well Guarded.
Rear Admiral Bunce, commandant of
the New York navy yard, received or
ders from Washington last week to es-
tablish a careful and well-appointed pa
troll to guard against any such emer-
gency. The commandant Immediately
put himself in communication with
Chief of Police McCullagh and APP
pointed Lieut.. John A. Dougherty, of
the navy, to take charge of the pro-
tective patrol. Chief McCullagh re-
sponded Immediately and informed
Rear Admiral Bunce that he had in
structed Capt. Smith, of the harbor po-

MAY TOUCHES SI.oe.
News of Letters Heavy Shipments
Causes Rapid Advance.

Chicago, Feb. 81. - Letter displayed
his trump card Saturday and played it..
When it dawned upon the trade Sat
urday morning all of sud-
den that Letter had marketed
much of his 100000 bushels of cash
wheat, the price for May jumped
from $1.o3R a bushel to $1.09 with such
swiftness that it took away the breath
of the most composed men on the
board. Mr.. Letter confirmed in a man
ner that permits no doubt that he has
sold at least 100000 bushels of wheat
abroad and that he has engaged ocean
passage to that amount.
When May wheat was $1.O4 Letter is
said to have demanded $1.14 for cash
wheat, and, taking the difference be-
tween 90 cents and $1.14 bushel, it will
be seen that his profits are large.

lice, to hold himself in readiness and
supply the desired number of patrol
men to assist in guarding the visiting
vessel. The navy yard tugboats Nina
and Narkeeta, in charge of Capts. Bell
and Cantain, respectively, were imme-
diately placed at the disposal of Lient.
Dougherty. Lieut.. w. G. Neville, of
the marine corps, received instructions
10 take command of 3S men, one first
sergeant, three sergeants, three cor
porals and 81 private marines, who will
relieve each other in four-hour watches
during the entire stay of the Spanish
cruiser.
Lieut.. Dougherty established head
quarters on board the tug Nina. This
boat, as well as the Narlleeta, was ready
to go down the bay and meet the Viz
caya from the moment that the latter
was sighted off the Jersey coast last
Friday, but it was not until two o'clock
Sunday afternoon that the weather con-
ditions permitted the naval guards to
proceed down the bay. About that hour
word was received at the navy yard that
the Spaniard was on her way over the
bar and the marines were Immediately
ordered on board the Nina. Lieut..
Aaron Ward, representing Admiral
Bunce, lost no time in boarding the
commandments steam barge Undine and
the three vessels left the navy yard at
ten minutes to three o'clock. There
was a nasty northeast wind blowing at
the time, which was accompanied by a
continuous downpour of rain and a
light fog. The tug Nina led the way,
and as she rounded the battery, large
crowd had assembled in the vicinity of
Pier A, where the little vessel was to
take the harbor police aboard.
SaIutes Fired.
AS soon as the Nina got alongside the
pier, Capt. Smith and Lieut.. Dougherty
exchanged greetings as well as official
documents. Two roundsmen and eight
patrolmen were Immediately put
aboard and the tug once more turned
her nose in the direction of Staten Is
land. Just then through the thick fog
could be heard the booming of can
non. which was the salute given by
the Vizcaya as she came through the
Narrows. This salute was answered
from the guns at Castle William, on
Governors Island. AS the Nina neared
the Staten Island shore the Spanish
cruiser doomed up out of the mist, and
Lieut.. Neville ordered the marines to
stand at attention and salute the Wis
itor, which passed on the starboard.
The police officers on board also stood
at attention, and the salute was an
swered by the officers and men who
were grouped on the Vizcaya's deck.
The Spaniard was still under way at the
time with Pilot Gillespie on the bridge.
Greetings Exchanged.
At 1885 o'clock the big vessel reached
her anchorage ground and dropped her
mudhook. As soon as she was anchored

BANKRUPTCY BILL PASSED.
Henderson Measure Has a Majority
of 33 in the House.

Washington, Feb. 21.-After four
days of consideration the house on
Saturday passed the bankruptcy bill
reported by the house committee on
Judiciary as substitute for the Nelson
bill passed by the senate at the extra
session last summer. The bill is known
as the Henderson bill and contains both
voluntary and involuntary features. 1t
is considered less drastic than the meas
ure passed by the last house by vote
of 1877 to ST. The involuntary feature,
however, had but 16 majority. Satur-
day motion TO strike out the involun-
tary features was defeated by ma
jority of 10 and the bill was passed by
majority of 80, the vote standing:
ayes, 1853: nays, 1875.

Canadian Loan Companies Getting

Been written on.


Probably in the history of the continent

Canada is being favored with. That portion
of Canada known as Western Canada is at

homes on the arabic lands of that new
but rapidly developing country. Possessed
Of exceptionally good railroad privileges,

es in every small settlement, while in the
towns and cities all denominations are rep
resented, and with markets in close prox.
unity to the grain fields, most of the re-
quirements for a comfortable existence are
met. The development that is now taking
place in the mining districts gives an i'm
pulse to agriculture and good prices with
good crops being about state of affairs that
the crowded districts of more popuous
centers are taking advantage of. The Asso-
ciated Press dispatches few days since had

Toronto, Feb. 4.-(Special)-Loan com.
panies that made advances on Manitoba
property years ago report that the returns
from the west during the past three months
have exceeded expectations. One company
has taken from Manitoba over $4,000 inter

had been written off year ago. Directors
OF the leading loan companies are taking a
greater interest in the business of their an.
situations, and are inquiring into many
properties on which advances have been

The climate in the Western provinces Of
Manitoba, Alberta, Assiniboia and Saskat-

now offering special inducements for the en-
enlargement of settlers, and they have
their agents at work throughout the United
States for the purpose of giving information
and distributing literature. Among those
going to Canada are many ex-Canadians,
who have failed to make az good living as
they expected in the United States.

several boats in the vicinity made to-
ward her, but they were quickly warned
off by the naval vessels and backed
away to respectable distance. The
Undine, with Lieut.. Ward aboard, then
made its way alongside, and that Off
Ger, dressed in full uniform, assembled
the gangway which was lowered on the
port side. AS soon as he reached the
deck he was greeted by the Spanish
commander, to whom he rendered, in
the name of Admiral Bunce, the
courtesies of the port, which is usual
formality whenever foreign war yes
sci arrives in American waters. Lieut..
Ward remained on board about quar-
ter of an hour, and as he descended the
gangway, on his return to the Undine,
the royal Spanish ensign was put at
half mast. This was the first sign that
the spectators afioat and ashore were
given that the visiting craft was aware
of the disaster in Havana harbor. Capt.
Eulate ordered the flag at half mast as
a token of regret for the death of the
American sailors.
