Lieut.. Dougherty established head

boat, as well as the Narkeeta, 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 I'm boarding the

Lieut.. Neville ordered the marines to

--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
4S 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 theirlives 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
entity 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, commaudant of
the New York navy yard, received or
ders from Washington last week to es-
tablish 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

tective patrol. Chief McCullagh re-

several boats in the vicinity made to-
ward her, but they were quickly warned
of 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 a foreign war ves-
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 afloat 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
token of regret for the death of the
American sailors.
Latest About the Maine.
Chicago, Feb. 21.-From Sunday

Spain has been officially notified that
the United States will conduct the in

Work is progressing rapidly on the

Cabinet ministers say that war is
entirely improbable at present. Even
if it depends on the findings of the
court of inquiry there can be no con-
flict now, as it will require weeks for
that tribunal to report.

A GREAT TIDE OF PROSPERITY.
Canadian Loan Companies Getting
Money on Mortgages That Had
Been Written on.

Probably in the history of the continent
there never was such tide OF prosperity
enjoyed by any country as the Dominion oil
Canada is being favored with. That portion
of Canada known as Western Canada Is at
tracing thousands of people who are seeking
homes on the arabic lands of that new
but rapidly developing country. Possessed
of exceptionally good railroad privileges,
the best school system in the world, church
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 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 a few days since had
the following telegram:
Toronto, Feb. 4.--(Special)-Loa 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 $50. 900 inter
est, and discharged mortgages many of which
had been written off year ago. Directors
OF the leading loan companies are taking
greater interest in the business of their in
stitutions, and are inquiring into many
properties on which advances have been
made.
The climate in the Western provinces of
Manitoba, Alberta, Assiniboia and Saskat-
chewan is excellent, there being no healthier
anywhere. The Canadian government is
now offering special inducements for the en-.
couragement 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 as good living as
they expected in the United States.

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 81. The involuntary feature,
however, had but l6 majority. Satur-
day motion TO strike out the involun-

iority of 10 and the bill was passed by
majority of 80, the vote standing:
