The best way TO overcome this desire
Of the brightest young people to leave
the farm is ~ make farm life more at
tractiye. Give the young people a
chance to become as well informed
and up-to-date as the children of
tOwnspeople, for one thing. Give them
chance 10 learn what is going on the
world over every day. SO that they
will feel that they are the equals in
knowledge of current events of any
one--that they are not one whit be-
hind young townsfolk in this respect.
This can be done through rural free
delivery. With the advent of this
great convenience the isolation,
the duh, prosy slowness, the igno.
rance of important everyday happen
ings, of the markets and of the condi-
ton Of growing crops throughout the
country will disappear. Every farmer
who 50 desires can keep himself as well
informed on ali matters of interest as
the city man. Letters containing mat
ters Of great Importance will not lie in
the post office only few miles away
for a week or more, as very often they
do in busy times, but they will reach
their destination promptly, and be

commIsslonersin in practically these terms:
The fact was cited that the proposal
presented by the American commits
sioners on behalf of the government for
the cession of the Philippines to the
United States having been rejected by
the Spanish commissioners and counter
proposal OF the latter for the withdrawal
of the Americans from the islands and
payment of an indemnity by the United
States to Spain having been rejected by
the Americans.
The government OF the United States
is unable to modify the proposal hereto
fore made for the cession of the entire
archipelago of the Philippines, but the
American commission is authorized to
offer to Spain, in case the cession should
be agreed to, $40, 100000, to be paid in
accordance with the terms of the treaty
of peace. It being the policy of the
United States to maintain in the Philip
pines an open door to the worlds com

are prepared to insert in the treaty, now

The Americans declared they must have

THE MYSTERY
STILL DEPENs
Shot Fired Near the Wallace House. at
PendIetOn.

PENDLEToN, Nov. 20.-This evening at
$50 O'Clock, another shot was fred
close to the house in which lived the
family of Miss May Wallace, who was
murdered week ago last Thursday
night. The Wallace family gave up the
house last Thursday, and P. II. Fee
moved in with his family. Fee is a
brother of Judge James A. Fee, and
came here a few days ago from Iowa.
The first night the family occupied the
house, he heard a noise in the back
yard. Drawing back the curtain of the
very window through which Miss Wall
lace was shot, he saw two men jump the
fence and go scurrying away toward the
wooden mills. He thought from their
general appearance they were Cinnamon.
The next night he also saw men prowl-
ing about and notified Sheriff Blakeley,
who detailed two deputies to remain in
the house all night, but they saw no one.
Fee each time armed himself with two
pistols and went in search, but found no
one. By daylight he found tracks made
by No. shoe, the ordinary kind worn
by white men. The affair has deepened
the mystery of the shooting of Miss Wal
lace, and created most intense interest
here.

drafts of reinforcements overland to
Esquimalt.
Facilities for transport of troops in
large numbers across the, continent un-
der the conditions the imperial govern
ment would impose are not unlimited,
though means might be lmprovised at q
sharp pinch to rush through as many as
ten thousand men, arms baggage and
supplies without break. No such strain,
however, seems likely to occur.
Weakening the British garrison in
Europe for service in the East by way
of Canada is evidently contemplated.
Unless the information is wholly er-
roneons, the conditions are such that a
a year of ceaseless efforts would be re-
quired to fit out an adequate Franco
Russian force for the eastern seas to
cope with the British power already
there or presently available. And in the
meantime it is asked, what would the
British be doing?

Generally we would move three or iour
