BY such indications "a these from q

accurately the relative condition of this

their ability to carry on war:

\ Watchful Cat That Had a Little Picnic of Her Own with the
 Lord of the House.

'Talk about your watch dogs, sald an acquaintance of mine. Say, I've got cat that will beat 'em all holler, and it's only kitten, too.
 T went home after the city govern ment meeting was over the other night and found the house dark and locked up. My wife was down to the club, so out with my latch key and fumbled around the keyhole.
 "The key went in all right and I was laughing to myself when all at once the confounded key broke off. See there," and he held up as evidence the broken key.
 Well, I went around and found one of the windows nnfastened, showed it up and started to climb in, when, gee whiz! I heard such growing! It was my kitten. called to him: Kitty, kit ty, kitty but it was no use. He didn't know me, and kept right on growing, once in awhile letting out vicious spit.
 Well, I climbed up and got my head and shoulders inside, when that cat gave spring and landed plumb on my head. His claws stuck into my hat and both headgear and eat fell to ohe floor while I fell on the snow outside. You see wasn't prepared, and it came as a surprise to me.
 'When I recovered everything was quiet inside and I thought 1 would make another attempt. As soon as approached the window that growing and rpi+fipor herau arain
 ''I shooed at him and said scat! But he held his ground and growled back.
 "Then I tried to scare him by imitat- ing dog. I growled and parked to beat the band,' and he growled and mewed and spit back till we made such q noise a lodger in the next house showed up his window and hollered: Shut upl'
 "'Shut up yourself said I.
 "'Go way from that house. said he'
 "'I live here,' said 1.
 "'Then go inside and keep still said he, and he closed his window with bang.
 Then I tried to get in again, but the cat heard me and still confronted me. Will you believe me? had to stay out- side there and wait half an hour longer in the cold until my wife came home.
 "'Why, what are you doing out here without any hat on? Whats the mat ter?' said she.

Deadly weapons of Foreign Miners.

Deadly Weapons of Foreign Miners.
 The first purchase made by Sloyak or Polack is a revolver, by Italian or Scil- ian a stiletto; then the newcomer buys a silver watch; and after that is secured he begins to save money. If the Slovak or polack is particularly thrifty, he postpones purchasing revolver for several months, and carries in one poek- ct a round, hard stone, large enough to crush a mans skull, and in another il piece of iron tilchcd from the colliery scrap-heap The Italian or Sicilan too poor or too penurious to afford stiletto buys, begs, or steals long file, and sits down in his shanty or by the road side. with two or three stones, and grinds it to keen edge and a needle like point. Then he fastens the blunt end to a corn-cob, and has ready for nse weapon of no mean possibilities. Once armed, however, and provided with a watch, the foreigner manages to live at a total expense of about six dollars nlonth-and this may be regarded as a liberal estimate in most instances. The remainder of his wages is saved toward the purchase of vineyard or q farm in the old country, whither al- most all expect to return and spend their lives Henry 5. Root, in Century.

tinction of a larger proportion of
awards. having regard to the number
and classes of articles entered, than
those of other countries. The worth of
such a-result in making known our ma
tional capacity to supply the worlds
markets is obvious. Exhibitions of this
international character are becoming
more frequent as the exchanges of
commercial countries grow more inti-
mate and varied. Hardly year passes
that this government is not invited to
national participation at some import
ant foreign center. but often on too
short notice to permit of recourse to
congress for the power and means to
do so.
My predecessors have suggested the
advisability of providing by a general
enactment a standing appropriation for
accepting such invitations, and for rep
resentation of this country by a COM
mission. This plan has my cordial APP
proval.
I trust the Belgian restriction on the
importations Of cattle from the United
States, originally adopted as a sanitary
precaution, will at an early date be
modified as to their features of hard
ship and discrimination, so as to admit
live cattle under due regulation of their
slaughter after landing. l am hopeful,
too, of a favorable condition in the Bel
gian treatment of our preserved and
sailed meats. The growth of direct
trade between the two countries, not
alone for Belgian consumption and Bel
gian products, but by way of transit
from and to other continental states,
has been both encouraging and bene-
fetal. No effort will be spared to en-
large its advantages by seeking the re-

But Cuba Must Be Assisted to Govern

&c not discuss at this time the gov
eminent or the future of the new DOS
sessions which viii come to us as the
result Of the war with Spain. Such a
discussion will be appropriate after the
treaty of peace shall be ratified. In the
meantime, and until congress has leg
islated otherwise, it will be my duty
to continue the military government

undertaken at the earliest moment
consistent with safety and assured sue

friendly character and our commercial
relations close and reciprocal. 1t should
be our duty to assist in every way
proper to build UP the waste places Of
the island, encourage the industry Of
the people and assist them to form
government which shall be free and in

All these circumstances suggest the
urgency of some definite action by the
congress at this session, if the labors
of the past are to be utilized and the
linking of the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans by a practical waterway is to
be realized That the construction Of
such maritime highway is now more
than ever Indispensable to that init

between our eastern and western sea
boards demanded by the annexation of
the Hawaiian islands and the prospec-
tive expansion of our influence and
commerce to the Pacific, and that our
national policy now more imDerattvely
than ever calls for it's control by this
government, are propositions which, l
doubt not, the congress will duly ap-
preciate and wisely act upon.

PARIS EXPOSITION.
Appropriate Display of Our Products
Will Be Made.

There is now every prospect that the
participation of the United States in
the universal exposition to be held in
Paris in 1900 will be on a scale commen-
surate with the advanced position held
by our products and industries in the
worlds chief marts. The preliminary
report Of Moses p. Handy, who, under
the act approved July 49, 1897 was ap-
pointed special commissioner with
view of securing all attainable infor-
nation necessary to full and COM
plete understanding by congress in re-
gard to the participation of this gov
eminent in the Paris exposition, was
laid before you by my message of De-

opportunities to make known our ma

ufactures, as well as the urgent need of
immediate and adequate provisions to
enable due advantage thereof to be
taken. Mr.. Handy's death soon after
wards rendered it necessary for an
other to take up and complete his I'M
finished work. and on Jan. II last. Mr..
Thomas w. Cridler, third assistant Sec
rotary of state, was designated to full
fill that task. His report was laid be-
fore you by my message of June a.
1898, with the gratifying result of
awakening renewed interest in the pro-
jected display. BY a provision in the
sundry civil appropriation act of July
l. 1898, sum not to exceed $3.50. 600 was
allotted for the organization of COM

ton and installation of American ex-
hibits. and for the display of suitable
exhibits by the several executive de-
partments, particularly by the depart
