SOLVING THE FUTURE WEI
FARE OF THE CONTINENT.
the Fertile Prairies OF
Western Canada.

The rapid progress that is being made
in the settlement of the fertile prairies
Of western Canada is leading to the in
vestigation of its resources by thoss
interested in having provision made for
those living in the crowded east, for
those who have been struggling for
years on impoverished farms, for the
renter who is unable any longer to bear
up under the strain imposed by the
landlord, and for the farmer who un-
able to purchase farms for his sons in
his own neighborhood has to look
around for lower priced lands. The in
yestigation shows that it is impossible
10 mEet these conditions successfully
outside of western Canada. Already
millions of bushels of wheat are being
grown there each year, while as many
as $4,000 head of cattle were shipped
out this year. A representative of the
Germania, Milwaukee, one of the lead
ing German papers in the United
States, recently made a trip through
Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta and
Saskatchewan, where lie the free gov
ernment lands of western Canada, and
in future issue will appear extracts
from fiattering letters contributed To
the Germania and other papers by the
special correspondents.
AS an inducement for immigrants to
make their homes in Canada, the Cana
dian government offers 100 acres of
and free of cost to each settler, and in
formation can be had of agents of the
government.

Return of Colorado,

Colorado is swinging rapidly back
toward the republican party. General
prosperity there and in the rest OF the
country and the general and particular
cussedness of democracy and populism,
with which that state allied itself two
years ago, are the principal causes for
the recent decrease of the vote of the
demo-pops and the big increase IF the
vote of the republican party. This is
creditable to Colorado. but it will have
a disturbing effect on Henry VI. Teller.
True. Teller's term does not end until
1908. and therefore his constituents
cannot get at him for several years vet
but the fact that the state is repudiat-
ing his brand of politics will weaken
his influence in the senate and will
throw an atmosphere of burlesque over
that little escapade in 1896 in which
Teller attempted the role of high trag-
edy That carefully y-rehearsed scene in
the ST. Louis convention would never
have taken place if Teller had known
then few things which he has learned
since. That was a revolution that re-
volved the wrong way for the revolu-
tionists.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
THE WAR AND NAVY DEPARTMENTS
WORKING AT HIGH PRESSURE.

The Address of Senator RedfeId Proctor,
on His Return from Havana. Did More
Than Any other One Thing to Crystalize
Public Sentiment on the Cuban Question
Especial Correspondence
Washington.-Th intensity of the
strain here is something awful to wit
ness and it is not confined to the Pres
ident and his official family, either.
Every department is working at high
pressure, and the tension is beginning
to tell on every one from Cabinet chief
to the humblest clerk. Nothing, not
even the sensational report of the
Maine Court of Inquiry, has wrought Up
Congress to its present high state of
indignation like the speeches of Sen
atOrs Proctor and Gallinger. In fact,
nothing that has been said since the
beginning of the Cuban revolt has left
a more profound effect than the re-
marks of Mr.. Proctor He is a man of
wide experience, keen perception and
shrewd Judgment a Yankee of the
Yankees, and is not apt to be led away
by his sympathies or sentiment. Com
ing from state like Vermont, he is
free from the tricks of the demagogue,
although long before he entered poll
tics he mastered the art of pleasing.
While Senator Proctor was not in Cuba
long. and did not visit many places,
no one could make better use of his
time than he, and he probably got as
near the truth as was possible for any
observer who cannot speak the Spanish
language and is only a transient Wis
itor upon the island. The whole sub
ject had been gone over previously
with the president and the secretary of
state and must have made the same
impression upon their minds as upon
the senate. 1t is the universal opin-
ion that it was the Vermont Senator's
speech which brought Cuban affairs
to the climax so long expected.

Ever since he came to Washington
Mr.. Quesada has been the recipient Of
much social hospitality. He is a gen.
tleman of fine appearance, excellent
reputation and agreeable manners. and
the sympathy of the feminine portion
Of the community is decidedly with
the insurgents, so that they have Law
ished upon him much more sympathy
and attention than they would have
done if he were only an ordinary citi-
zen and not the representative of an
embryo republic striving for recogni-
ton. Thus far the portion of WASH
ington society connected with the ad-
ministration has been very careful to
omit Mr.. Quesada from their visiting
and invitation lists. 1t appears. how
ever, that Mr.. Quesada was properly
invited to the vice-president' recent
reception, and was cordially received
by both Mr.. and Mrs. Hobart.

generaIy speaking, sne acts her part

After all, it is only natural that she
should try to appear at her best and
endeavor to oaptivate mankind, for
marriage is the be-an and end-an of a

it is that she cannot keep this up after

to have no wish or will of her own,
quite content to follow in his lordship's

then in all proba bility the pickering
begins that renders married life one
long misery. Perhaps it now dawns
on Mr.. Neuwed that when he was
courting her she was at her best.

ing a girl remember she is at her best

possibly always keep up this high
standard after marriage; so grasp the
fact that you are not going to marry

RUN GREAT RISKS.

Insurance Companies Are Chary About
Reinsuring Delayed Ships.
Reinsuring risks on vessels long over
due and supposed to be lost is game of
chance in which speculative marine un-
derwriters have been indulging. One
of the vessels on which such big odds
have been taken, says the Philadelphi.
Record, was the British bark Command
er, which sailed on April II from Chit
tagong, India, for the West Indies and
the Delaware breakw ater, and has been
given up as lost. Both vessel and cargo
were insured as ordinary risk at the
rates then current for vessels trading
on long voyages. After three months
had elapsed without the arrival of the
vessel the original insurers placed their
risks with other companies, paying
twenty guineas premium and escaping
the payment of a total loss. Those who
took the new risk became alarmed at
the continued absence of the vessel, and
to protect themselves they reinsureG
the vessel and cargo at forty guineas
premium. AS the loss of the vessel now
appears to be beyond doubt those who
last took the risk will be called upon to
pay total loss.
The British ship Munster sailed in
ballast from Rio Janeiro on May 10 for
Newcastle, N. S. W., and is believed to
have been lost off Cape Horn. She
is now being reinsured at eighty
guineas premium. The ships Lord
Spencer, which sailed from San Fran
cisco for Queenstown on April 9. and
the Star of Austria, which sailed from
Santa Rosalia on March 25 for Fall
mouth, are believed to have been lost,
and the vessels and cargoes are being
reinsured at seventy guineas premium.
