MAMMOTH ICE cRUsHER.
just Launched In EnGland-TO he
Used In Keeping Baltic Sen
Open All Winter.

There has just been launched in Eng
land, at the yards of Armstrong, Whit
worth & Co., what is, without doubt,
the largest ice-breaking steamer in the
world, for its displacement is no less
than 5000 tons. This was built for the
Russian government, which is going to
make an effort on large scale to keep
the Baltic'open all winter. Beside this
vast ice crusher, the ice breakers of the
Canadian lakes, which are able to
crush through four feet of ice, arc mere
ly infants. The new Russian boat is
provided with n forward propeller
which is calculated to vastly assist in
the crushing process, by disturbing
the water under the ice and depriving it
of support. The stern of the ice
breaker is cut into a recess, into which
the stem OF another vessel can be Sc
curely lashed, and thus attain the ut
most protection from her powerful con-
sort. Besides conveying the merchant
ships the ice breaker is capable of her
self carrying II heavy cargo. 1t is con-
fdently expected that through her
agency the principal trade routes which
depend on Baltic ports will be kept
open in winter, and thus provide con-
tinuous employment to an enormous
section of the community.

THE DEMANDS OF ENGLAND.
The Britains Insist That the Nicaragua
Canal Shall BE Controlled Jointly
or by Neither.

LONDON, Dec. S.-No one would wish
to predict a clash between England
and the United States over the ques-
ton of who is going to control the Mic
araguan canal. The Britishers, how
ever, feel strongly that Great Britain
has a sound claim to part control of
the proposed waterway, and that, the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty is still binding.
A leading official here, who wishes
his name unpublished, said Thursday:
"The reports that England is going
to waive her rights under the Clayton
Bulwer treaty is directly contrary to
the 0truth. Communications are pro-
ceeding between the foreign office and
Secretary Hay on the British claims.
The point of demand is briefly: Con
troll by neither or BOTH"
British traders with Central Amer
lean ports are pointing out to the for
eign Office the necessity for preventing
the United States having sole control
of the canal, and consequently the
power to impose tariff and charges
unfavorable to them, which they be-
lieve she would do"
The official said further that Eng
land would demand that the United
States undertake not to fortify the en-
frances to the canal.

WOMEN wEAR PAPER HATS.
ner" frices Are High, nut n
Made Mt Home the New Fnd
Costs Little

A woman recently created n sensa d.
non at an afternoon luncheon In Lon
don by announcing that she had fifteen
hats during the summer, but that NAT
one OF them contained an inch OF silk
satin, velvet, or straw.
They were entirely OF paper, and ia
prove her assertion she displayed the
black turban trimmed apparently with
bands of black silk, which she had worn
to the luncheon. The turban was Gov.
cred with black silk paper and trimmed
with bands of the same material, The
woman who is determined to do her
own millinery can get few yards OF
silk tissue paper and experiment
with it. -
She can face her hat with japanese
paper, and can. otherwise decorate as
she pleases. Such hat home made
costs little, but at milliner's the prizes
are high. They are placing SO much
work upon the paper flowers and the
trimmings that it becomes necessary tc
charge well for them.
The advantages of tissue paper ar
many, the principal one of which is til,
cclor, which is said to be fast. tn,
paper comes striped in all colors, flow
cred, crinlled and plain. 1t is as rougl
as silk, and more durable than null o
chiffon.

GOOD RAILROAD YEAR
Unprecedented Prosperity Expert
enced-SmnlI Number in
Rcceivers' Hands.

Gen. James Longstreet, the commits
sioner of railroads, in his annual report,
calls attention to the general prosper
ity in railroad affairs, and recommends
the government construction and oper-
alton of a first-class double track rail-
way from Kansas City, Mo-, to San
Diego, Cal, by air line route. He says
the financial condition of our railroads
generally is better than ever before.
He points to the spectacle of roads,
which only two or three years ago were
in receivers hands, now paying divi-
dends on their preferred stocks and
piling up surpluses, which in the course
of very short time, his report says,
will be distributed among the common
shareholders. Many roads, which in
1898 were forced 10 cut salaries 20 per
cent, he says, have voluntarily restored
tie old basis OF wages. In April, 1894,
receivers controlled in this country 21O
roads, embracing about 20 per cent. OF
the total mileage of the United States,
On June 80 of this year there were only
lie railroads in the hands of the re-
ceivers, and Gen. Longstreet predicts
that under the present condition ot
prosperity within another year the list
| of insolvent railroads will be as small
az in the years Immediately preceding

POst-Mortem Examination at Toledo
o., Reveals n Peculiar State
of Affairs.

A woman, who died in one of the
charitable institutions of Toledo, o.,
was turned over unclaimed to the To-
ledo Medical college. The woman was
partially insane. An examination
showed that the stomach contained al
most quart of hairpins, needles, brass
pins, safety pins, pumpkin and melon
seeds, small nails, and other indigesti-
BILE matter. At least 500 hairpins at
right angles, the same number of brass
pins, and almost as many needles, pieces
of glass from one to two and a half
inches in length, ring set with fine
stone, and other articles were found.
A hole three inches wide had been eaten
through the walls of the stomach,
through irritation and Inflammation.
The intestines were fairly riddled with
pins and needles. The real cause of her
death did not develop until the body
was under the dissecting knife.

SAN JUAN DE PoRTo Rico, Dec. s.
Gen. Guy V, Henry, the new governor
of the military department of Porto
Rico, is beginning energetically. He
intends to hold elections of mayors and
councilmen in every town, and if neces-
sary to secure fairness, the elections
will be under military supervision.
He will appoint commission to COM
pei the local courts to bring to trial
and punish persons now in detention
on charges of incendiarism and assault.
This measure will be actively pushed.
Another proposal of Gen. Henry is to
send his representatives to the various
mayors to gain their cooperation in his
plan for installing several American
policemen in every town.
Capt. Lemly, of the 7th artillery,
has been detailed to visit the schools,
with view of installing American
teachers. Gen. Henry holds the resig-
nations of the members of the insular
cabinet to act upon as he sees fit. His
policy will be to generalize RESPONSE

posts have been grouped under three
main heads and eventually the same
course will be pursued with regard to

thus eliminating unnecessary civil ex-
penditure and fixing the responsibility
of these minor officials to the mayor
of the nearest important place.
Orders have beeu issued demanding
a thorough patrol of the country and
directing the patrol officers to work in
conjunction with the mayors to bring
offenders to trial. Soldiers are nc
