There were occasions during the war when

before the train was due in the afternoon the
women. children and timid citizens were IN a
state bordering On Mysteries.
when the train rolled In the Tigers began
jumping off before IL stopped under the ear

uniforms scared the spectators into hts. and
most OF the On-Combaiants made IA rush for
their homes where they hoted their doors and
did not again venture out until the next day.
The Zouaves had few fights among them
selves but they did not bother the inhabitants
as much as had been expected. They were so
noisy and threatening. however. that the provost

New York, Dec. g. The Nova
Scotian schooner Walleda arrived
Sunday from Gonaives and reports
that during the height of the hurri-
cane on November 2s, in lat. 1922,
long. 1890 she sighted dismantled
schooner of about 700 tons flying sig
nails of distress. 1t was nearly dark
at the time and her crew could be
seen on the decks gesticulating frant-
cally for assistance. The Walleda bore
down on the stranger and got close
under her lee and hailed her. The
men shouted that the vessel was sink
ing and asked to be taken off. Capt.
Kemp told them his boats were stove
and useless. They said they would
come to the Walleda in their own
boats.
During this time the Walleda lay to,
but found that she was rapidly drift
ing to the leeward, then went about
on the other tack and finally managed
to cross the bow of the wreck. The
Walleda hailed again, but got nc
answer. In the meantime another
schooner came to her assistance and
assumed position to the windward
of the wreck. Both of them stood by
until daylight. When morning broke
the wreck was deserted and the boats
gone. 1t is supposed the unfortunate
men attempted to launch their boat
during the night, which capsized and
all hands were lost.

wind. Trees, swinging signs and
chimneys were blown down, but no

Washington, Dec. 5.-The curtain
rings up at noon to-day upon the
closing session of the Fifty-ifth con-
gress. The war and the fruits OF
American victory carry in their wake
many problems which the national
legislators must solve. But though
many questions may press for solu-
tion the brief space covered by this
session, which expires by limitation
March 4, precludes the probability ot
much being accomplished beyond the
passage of the regular money bud
gets, the legislation for the increase OF
the regular army which the admins
tration deems necessary to meet OBJ
legations imposed upon the country
by the result of the war, and proba-
bly, the enactment of a law to give a
permanent territorial government to
the Hawaiian islands. This covers all
the important legislation which the
congressional leaders expect to see
enacted at this session.
It is almost the unanimous senti-
ment of the leaders that no attempt
should be made to legislate concern
ing the possessions acquired by the
war with Spain at this session. There
are earnest advocates of the Mica
ragua canal bill who will strive to Sc
cure its passage now and they may
possibly be successful, but neither il
nor any one of the other measures
like the pooling bill, anti-scalpers
bill, etc, which have strong friends
will be allowed to interfere with the
bills, the passage of which is deem
ed absolutely necessary to prevent an
extra session. The leaders at both
ends of the Capitol have put their
heads together and the work of the
session is to be entered upon with
the idea of avoiding an extra session
With this purpose in view the appro-
priation bills are to be given the road

WASHINGTON.

The war department is making ar
rangements to disinter the remains
of all the soldiers who lost their lives
in the campaign before Santiago and
bring them to this country. Upon
arrival here they win be turned over
to their relatives and those who have
no relatives will be inferred at Airing
ton, the national cemetery near Wash
ington.
There will be 299 appointments of
presidential postmasters awaiting
confirmation by the United States
senate when it meets. This number
represents the cases of presidential
Offices acted on by the president dur
ing the recess of congress.
The war department has directed
the return to her owners at Santiago
of the ship Reina de los Angeles,
taken by our government during the
war. There was some question as to
the right of the government to the
vessel, as a result of which the above
action was taken.
Officers of the war department have
decided to adopt the suggestion of
Gen. Wood, in command at Santiago,
that the removal of the remains of
American soldiers from that section
of Cuba be deferred until February,
1899.
Secretary of War Alger has ordered
that the 5000 Mauser rifles taken
from the Spanish troops at the sur
render of Santiago be sold.

SOLVING THE FUTURE VEL
FARE OF THE CONTINENT.
This II What In Now Being Done on
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 those
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
vestigation shows that it is impossible
TO 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 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 fattering letters contributed to
the Germania and other papers by their
special correspondents.
AS an inducement for immigrants to
make their homes in Canada, the Cana
dian government offers 16O acres Of

Gently examined these properties has any
idea Of their value and infinite progress.
The service on the 81. Paul, Burlington and
Chicago Great Western is unexcelled. There
is nothing in the East to compare, much less
to equal it, and it towers monumentally over
any other transportation in any part OF the
world. The train service of these three cor
porations is superb. Until recently the
Pennsylvania limited, out Of New York, to
Chicago, was believed to be ideal, but so
thorough is the service of the Chicago Great
Western, with the buffet cars, with their
bulk heads, stained glass windows, and
complete electrical equipment, that the Penn.
sylvania people have ordered their renowned
Chicago Limited into the shops that it
may be rebuilt, or rather, modernized, after
the cars that are in service on the Chicago
Great Western. l think the future of this
property is very great. The earnings are
away ahead of what they were year ago
and the outlook is brighter"
