The Garden Spot of America.

The opening of the line of the
Northern Pacific railway into Lewis.
ton, Idaho within the next week, will
bring that city and the country sur.
rounding it into the prominence they
have long deserved. Lewiston is sit.
uated in a valley of surprising rich
ness, with a climate of unusual quail
ity. These have made it the center
of one of the most productive regions
of America. The hills protectit from
cold an storms and lend their influence
to make the valley the garden spot of
the Pacific northwest. The rich soil,
abundance of pure water and splendid
vegetables and bountiful harvests of
field products, and it will not be long,
with the new and admirable railroad
facilities now enjoyed, before the
Lewiston Valley will become conspic-
uous as one of the best places on earth
for the industrious farmer to estab-
lish home.
For the past two years the resources
of the valley have been taxed to meet
the ever growing demand of local and
foreign markets, which is now aug
mented by the demand from the
Orient. The speedy settlement and
enlarged cultivation of the valley that
is sure to follow the completion of the
Northern Pacific railway, will give it
a prominent part in supplying the
worlds demand for fruits and bread
stuffs. A little to the southeast and
reached by way of Lewiston, lies the
rich Nez Perez reservation which was
recently opened to settlement with it's
thousands of acres of rich farming
lands waiting for the Industrious far
mer to convert them into profitable
farms or fruit ranches. The city of
Lewiston, population 1000. even with
out railway facilities, has long been
regarded as most delightful spot for
a residence and now must surely be-
come the objective point of many a
tourist and homeseeker.

A New Railway In Montana,

The completion of the Northern
Pacific railway from White Hall
Montana, to Twin Ridges, Montana,
a distance of q miles, opens up to
both the miner and farmer the limit.
less resources of the famous Jefferson
valley, rich both in quality and guam
tity of it's mineral deposits and for
the fertility of it soil which for bear
ing is equal to any in Montana. The
three rivers which enter the valley
separately but unite before going very
far, furnish an abundance. of pure
water forall the present and future
needs of the valley.
Twin Bridges is situated in the
northwestern corner of Madison
county, at the head of the beautiful
Jefferson Valley. On either hand are
the mountain ranges stretching away
in the distance; here the freedom and
contentment of the farmers life is
contrasted with the business and ac-
tivity of the mining vocations. The
eye beholds herds Of horses and cattle
grazing on the grass covered hills,
while here and there the miner is at
work extracting from the earth its
precious metals, Just at present the
mining industry is the most promin-
ent, gold being the principal metal
taken from the ground. but with the
Northern Pacific completed and in
operation to Twin Bridges, the miner
and farmer alike will prosper far be-
yond anything heretofore possible.
To the owners of mines the railroad
will be of inestimable value and the
influx of capital and consequent
cheaper and more modern mining
methods. will be a godsend to number
less miners who have hundreds of tons
of low grade ore that could not before
be handled with profit owing to the
expense of hauling to the railway by
wagon. AS place Of residence this
valley has found favor with many of
Montana's prominent people and the
Of pretty little towns with
homes scattered here and
there bear evidence of its popularity.

TROOPS MOBILIZED.
ARE ORDERED TO THE SOUTH.
Entire United States Army VIII Soon BE
Under Way to Points Convenient to
Cuba.

Washington, April 15.-Decidedly the
most warlike step taken by the depart
ment for the possibility of an encounter
with Spain, was inaugurated to-day
when orders We're issued for the concen-
iration at four points in the South of
six regiments of cavalry. thirty-two
regiments of infantry and the light bat
teries of five regiments of artillery. At
Chickamauga there will be six regi-
ments of cavalry and the light batteries
of five regiments of artillery; at New
Orleans eight regiments of infantry; at
Tampa seven regiments of infantry and
at Mobile sevent regiments of infantry.
Since the Civil War no such proportion
of the army has been modified, and
the movement itself is the best evil
dence of the gravity of the situation
as looked upon by the President and
his advisers
The determination TO rendezvous the
troops in the South, where they can
be acclimated TO the conditions of
more tropical climate, has been under
consideration by the President and his
Cabinet for some time. 1t was not I'M
til to-day, however, that the President,
In view of the enormous expense which
will be entailed. felt justified in taking
this step.
When Secretary Alger returned from
the Cabinet meeting he AT once called
Into conference General Miles and Ad-
jutant General Corbin, and acquainted
them with the result of the Cabinets
deliberations. There We're hurried
consultations. in which the quarter
master general, who has charge of the
transportation of troops, the commits
sary general, who looks after their
subsistence, and representatives in
Washington of the various railroads
running to the South, participated.
The orders. as finally given, contem-
plate the movements of troops to the
places indicated. rs follows:
To Chickamauga battlefield: The
First, Second. Third, Sixth. Ninth
and Tenth regiments of cavalry and
the light batteries of five regiments of
artillery.
To New Orleans: The First. Seventh,
Eighth, Twelfth, Sixteenth. Eigh-
teenth, Twcnty-third and Twenty
fourth regiments of infantry.
To Mobile: The Second, Third,
Tenth, Eleventh, Nineteenth. Twen-
tieth, and Twenty-second regiments Of
infantry.
To Tampa: The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth,
Ninth, Thirteenth, Seventeenth, Twen-
ty-first regiments of infantry.
The heavy batteries of artillery in
each of the five regiments mentioned
will remain at their present posts. The
two new regiments of artillery au-
thorized by Congress have not been
recruited to their full strength, and in
addition. are not well equipped with
horses and other necessary requisites
for service, and, therefore, are not in
cluded in to-day's orders. The depart
ment has so distributed the twenty-five
regiments of infantry at convenient
places on the Gulf that they will be ac-
cessible for transportation to Cuba.
Proposals have been invited from
steamship companies for chartering
vessels to the government for this
work.

NO ISSUE OF BONDS.

Senator Teller Says Silver Mon Will Not

THE silver men who have given this
subject careful consideration, are I'M

would be safe TO predict that they
would never give their consent.
First thing that would be done
would be revision of the tariff laws
and the imposition of additional inter
nal revenue taxes for war purposes. In
times of war people will not object TO
that but they would endure the bur-

No city in the United States surpass-
es Philadelphia in the average intelli-
gence and honesty of its citizens. NO
city in the United States equals Phila-
delphia in the rascality of its govern
ment Why is it that Philedal-
phia instead of being among the
best governed of American munich
palities, is undeniably the worst?
Why is it that the city which ought
to be a model is an awful example? !?
Philadelphia has noble company of
political economists, and grand ar
ray of philanthropists who never fail
to take an active part in national af-
fairs. And all the while the looting of
Philadelphias treasury goes on, brib-

Havana. April 1T.-Adviccs received

This aroused the people, and groups of
the Inhabitants pnradcd the streets
shouting against the tax. The police

the merchants of the town.
In Havana the value of Spanish mon

Teller made the point of order that it
was unparliamcntary for senator to
refer to the action of the House or the
President The vice president read the
rule and asked Mr.. Hale to proceed
in order. The latter said he proposed
briefly to state the reasons for his

the melting away of the spirit of con-
servative sentiment in the Senate.

ton Of the independence of Cuba had

night to the Hon. William Jennings

ceeded to read from an account of the
speech made on that occasion by Mr..
Bryan, and to allege that 1t was re-
sponsible for the sudden unanimity OF
sentiment upon the Democratic side OF
the chamber.
Many Of the Democratic senators
gave manifestations of their disapprov-
al as Senator Hale was reading the ac-
count of the speech.
After two or three others had spoken
the vote on Mr.. Davis motion to strike
out all after the resolving clause of the
House resolution, and insert the Senate

Mr.. Jones of Arkansas and Mr.. Hoar
of Massachusetts,, all deeply impressed
by the magnitude and possible awful
consequences of the step about to be
taken. addressed the Senate with an
eloquence and solemnity borne only or
the most profound feeling for their
country's welfare. AS the words fell
from their lips. the chamber thrilled
with an intensity of interest which
bordered upon awe.
At five minutes past . the third and
final reading of the resolution, as
amended, was begun.
Immediately afterwards came the
question: Shall the resolution pass:
There was general demand for yea
