Its Waters Are Full of Fish, Whales,

From the Montreal, Que. Witness,
Hudson's bay, the Mediterranean Of
Canada, the most striking geographical
feature of North America, was the sub
ject Of a lecture and debate at the
meeting of the McGil Science Gradu-
ates society Friday evening. IT was 4
large subject. Hudson's bay is half as
large as the Mediterranean seat
drains a vast territory, 100000 square
miles in area-vast rivers flow into it
from the south, cast and west, tluWinE
from places as distant as the plains Of
Minnesota and Dakota. In its waters
live undisturbed fish and l-bearing
mammals. along its shores are fine har-
bors. in the country surrounding II are
/ rich mineral deposits and the farming
lands. But ii Is a portion destitute of
human habitation. White whales, wal
ruses big as elephants and fur-bearing

Bell, director Of the geological survey.
Moose hay is in a latitude further south
than London, and the northern portion
OF Hudson's bay Is at about the same
latitude as the north of Scotland. The
climate also compares very faNordhlX

Cuban independence.
Lynchbnrg News (Dem.l

Lynchburg News (Dem
The changes are continually rung on
what may be termed the self-denying or
dinance of Congress expressed in the
Cuban resolution. In this resolution,
Congress took pains to declare that the
war was not undertaken for the purpose OF
annexing Cuba to the United States, but
to give q firm and stable government to
that unhappy island. Does this mean
that in no circumstances will Cuba be an
nexed? What if the people of Cuba, or
large majority of them, pronounce in favor
of annexation? Shall the petition be re-
jected because Congress declared that ter
ritorial expansion was not the purpose OF
the war?
1t is the teaching Of history that war
never leaves nations in the same condi-
ton in which it found them. AL the close
of the war with Spain 10th the combatants
will be confronted by new conditions, and
if our statesmen be wise, they will adopt
their policy to existing facts. There are
serious doubts whether the Cubans really
desire independence. Of course, the in
surgents do, but for all we know they
form minority of the Cubans. There are
yet more serious doubts whether the peo-
pie of the island are fit for independence
and capable of assuming and discharging
all the international obligations of On in
dependent State. The war will leave the
island in deplorable condition, its cities
partially destroyed, it's fields devastated,
and its productive industries ruined.
Many of the inhabitants will be reduced
TO poverty, and the Cuban government
will lack the revenue needful to repair the
ravages of war and re-establish order and
prosperity. Especially will it be impossi-
BILE for the Cubans to introduce sanitary
reforms which go nearly concern the
United States. 1t is an admitted fact that
Cuba is the breeding place of yellow fever
and that there is always danger that it
may spread from Havana to our Southern
ports. American capital and American
enterprise will be indispensable for the re-
habilitation of the island; and these will
not 90 to Cuba unless they can be assured
of the protection of just and stable gov
eminent.
The United States stand pledged to give
such a government to the island. In or
der to do go, it may become necessary to
retain possession of it permanently. or for
an indefinite time, and if the Cubans vol
UNFAIRLY elect to cast in their fortunes with
this Republic it will be no violation of the
self denying ordinance to grant their re-
quest, and neither Spain nor any other
foreign State will have theright to impugn
our motives or question the propriety of
our acts.

Gov. Blacks Strong Words.
Richmond Tines

Richmond Times
We do not admire all that Governor
Black, of New York, has said or done, but
in his recent message to the Legislature
he made some deliverances on the subject
of honest elections that have our hearty
approval. Note the following extract:
"Theresis no direction in which law
breakers have been so defiant and sue
cessful as against the right of suffrage.
The heat of political controversy has too
often excused where it should have con-
demned. A temporary triumph has some
times been gained at the cost of integrity,
and the process has been ignored. No
government can long endure which does
not check and punish this highest of all
forms of treason. Other offences compar,
ed with it are small and Insignificant. An
honest franchise lies at the bottom Of all
governmental stability. You will enact
laws in vain against theft and pillage if the
greatest evil, corrupted franchise, goes
uncleasned. 1t will profit little to save
the veins if the arteries are cut. 1t is far
too common to make election crimes Of
the fall public jests in the follewing.spring."
The Times has fought dishonest cleo
tions without regard to any political in
terests affected. The question is much
broader than that. 1t is not that this
party wins or that party loses by corrupt
methods, but it is the general demoraliza-
ton of election frauds that asalarned US.
The Times opposes election frauds as ii
opposes lynching, not simply because it is
morally wrong to kill man without due
process Of law, or to rob citizen of his
ballot, but because these things are done
IN defiance of law and because the demon
alization of .laWlessness cannot be com
puted.
It has been source of sorrow to us ano
it has aroused our Indignation that the
negro question should have been used as
means of debauching the whites OF Virgi'
mia. The stream cannot be purer than its
source, and as the ballot box lies at the
very root of our civllizazation, when it is
corrupt the whole body polite must nee
essarily tester.

GUNS USED BY SOLDIERS.
Description of Krag-Iorgensen and Lee
Rifles.

New York Tribune.
Since 1890 the regulation rifle of the
United States army, supplanting the for
mer weapon, the Springfield rifle, has
been the Krag- Jorgensen magazine rifle.
1t wae adopted upon the recommendation
of board composed of Lieut.. Ii. D. Free
man and Capts. s. E. Blount and George
Anderson. The result of one of the teets
in competition with other weapons fol-
lows:
For accurate aim the Lee showed 40
shots in two minutes, the Krag-Jorgen-
sen SO. the Springfield No. l, sc, and the
Springfield No. 9, 35. In the firing at
will for one minute The results were as
follows: Lee %; Krag-Jorgensen, 2S;
Springfield No. /, "a; and Springfield No.
2, II shots.
Upon the result of the tests, approved
by Gen. Schofeld, the general comand-
ing the army, the Krag-Jorgensen was
adopted. 1t has magazine chamber for
five cartridges, which can be dropped by
the simple pull of bolt 1t is possible to
load single cartridge, and fire one after
another, reserving those in the magazine
for time of need, when the five shots can
be fired without pausing to reload. The
cartridges are of an alloy Of tin and lead
in steel case. In passing through flesh
and bone, or any solid substance, they
make only small wound, but in semi
fluid matter they explode, so that a man
shot in the intestines or brain is practi'
cally blown to pieces. The reason for this
property of the bullets has never beer
satisfactorily explained.
The gun the marines are armed with l:
the Lee rifle, a magazine gun, with cali
Der of O.236 inches. Its range for point
blank firing is between six hundred anc
seven hundred yards. Smokeless powder
is used with it, and hardened lead bullet
which has copper jacket plated with tin
The gun has a magazine for five cartridges
which are put in at once, being fastened
together with metal clip. The gun car
be used for firing and reloading after each
shot, or the five shots can be fired in quick
succession, and the gun reloaded with five
more while it is at the shoulder. The
chief advantage claimed for it is that the
cartridge chamber can be opened by
straight pull and without turning up the
gun. The gun without the bayonet is al
most four feet long, and weighs eigh
pounds and six ounces. The bayone
adds about eight inches to the length and
pound tc the weight. The cartridge il
about three iches long and $50 rounds
weigh eight pounds six ounces.
The Mauser rifle, which the Spanish
troops are mainly armed with, is of mucl
the same construction as the Lee, but i
is declared that its effective range is
little greater. 1t has the cartridges insert
ed in clips of five, and single ones capno
be used. TIE Mauser has an "upturn'
and "back-pulp' for reloading the cart

Does Baby
Thrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
ASK Jour doctor if this is not true.
