lutte Goes to Europe.

Minneapolis Journal. Special: Editor
futile of the Mandan Pioneer will this
summer cast to the winds the cares of
the country newspaper man, and forget
the struggle for existence in a trip
through Europe on a wheel. He will be
accompanied by his wife and daughter,
and his itinerary includes a trip through
England and Scotland, several weeks in
Paris, a trip through Rome and Italy,
and along the Rhine. He expects to be
absent the entire summer, leaving the
state about the middle of next month
and returning about the first of Novem-
Der.
futile is a mar of strictly business
turn of mind, and if he can make the
suitable and necessary arrangements he
will travel through Europe in the addi-
tional capacity Of a lecturer on the Klon-
dixie. He is familiar with the coast coln-
try and with Alaska, having been a trav.
eler through both places, and he has
been at Seattle e%ndeavoring to secure
suitable views of the coast country and
the sights and scenes of the Klondike to
use with a stereopticon. If he can Sc
cure the necessary materials, he will
take the outfit with him, and give lee.
lures in England and in some of the con.
tinental towns, where there is interest in
the discoveries of gold in Alaska. He
believes that by so doing he will be able
to clear a part if not all the expenses Of
the trip.

Nothing similar has ever been seen in

they have ever heard of.

Big Gsas Going West.

One or two shipments Of cannon for
coast defenses in Washington and Ore
gon have been sent west through here in
the last month. Recently a huge gun
the length Of a fiat car was taken west on
a specially constructed Car for such pur-
poses owned by an eastern railway. The
car alone weighs $4,000 pounds and its
capacity was 10000 pounds; it was built
of steel Orders and rested on four trucks.
The cannon. reached from end to end Of
it's car and was something of a monster
in artillery. 1t had bore large enough
for a man to crawl inside. Another
large gun is said to have been shipped
west about a month ago. All these ship
ments are made by express freight. 1t
is possible shipments Of smaller guns
have been made in box cars the consign-
ments being billed as machinery. There
is another big gun billed to 60 through,
and local enthusiasts have been waiting
for it. but without having seen it up to
date.
A contract has been awarded to the
Northern Pacific Railroad company for
transporting two ~twelve.inch riAed can
non and four eight-inch ones with their
disappearing carriages to Seattle. The
guns are at the proving grounds at Sandy
Hook and the carriages are at the factory
in Watertown, Mass. The cost of trans
portation will be $1,000. From Seattle,
the armament will be taken by boat to
the new fort which has just been Con-
structed, cQpqpaPdiRg the straits OF Juan

Tho Coast Defesoes.

One-half the number of improved can
non, mortars and ~emplacements will be
located and placed in suitable position
ere the expiration of 1893. The Artillery
Board is constantly making practical
surveys, 50 far as these relate to the
army, and the establishment of adequate
military protection of our sea board is re-
ceiving strong endorsement. Meanwhile
there is means of defence from greater
physical calamity, and that is the use of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which by
restoring the tone of the nerves and
stomach, invigorates the entire system.
1t also prevents malarial, kidney and
rheumatic ailments, and cures bilious
ness and constipation. Those who have
been cured by it speak in no uncertain
terms as to its effectiveness.

Proctor on Cuba.

Carefully prepared reports on present
conditions in Cuba from men of expert
ence and cautious judgment are much t o
be priced at a time when SO much that is
not dispassionate reaches the public. The
speech Of Senator Proctor is a written
document, deliberately weighed and re-
vised and will command general atten-
tion. 1t is temperate in tone and gives
a broad view of the situation as we'll as
details. Neither the journey nor the
report was inspired. The Senator vent
to the island for his own information and
pursued his W of inquiry
throughout. He makes it plain that the
conflict in Cuba is between 100000 Span
iards on the island and 100000 native
Cubans, the former accustomed to SUBJ
ject the majority to taxes and monopo-
lies, though education is more general
among the white Cubans than among the
| Spaniards. The few autonomists are
really in favor of independence. at is
the Cubans against Spaniards," says the
Senator. at is practically the entire
Cuban population on one side and the
Spanish citizens on the other"
Senator Proctor shows the rapid pro-
gress on the island Of the policy of ex-
termination. He was through the four
western provinces which we're compelled
to conform to Weyler's order of concen-
%tration, or, properly speaking, of exter-
mination. About 100000 of the rural
population were forced into the camps
guarded by Spanish troops. In many
cases the farm houses were burned. The
evicted peasantry built rude huts near
the garrisoned towns and the trochas,
supplying themselves with food and
other necessities as best they can. OF
course the sanitary conditions of these
camps is simply awful. They have nc
provision for support, and misery and
hopelessness brood over them. The
wretchedness exceeded all that the Sen.
ator expected and he had read harrow.
