MORE TRANSPORTS.

The next addition to the tran
sport fleet which is to carry the
fourth EXPEDITION to Manila will be
in all probility the mammoth collier
Titania. The vessel was inspected
yesterday by Major Runlen of the
United States Army and Govern
ment Inspector of Transports Cap
tain Howard.
The Titania is owned by the
Rosenfelds and has been engaged
in carrying coal from Nanaimo to
this port. She is the largest coal
carrier that has ever been seen here.
She is most peculiar looking
craft. 1t is said that as transport
she could carry a, 800 tons of coal
in her lower hold. Besides this
she could carry horses and cattle,
and still have room for 900 men.
The Government finds itself hard
pressed for transports. 1t is stated
that at least fourteen vessels will be
required to send the remainder of
the Philippine force across the
Pacific. San Francisco Chronicle.

TO HEAR FROM TROOPS.

A St. Paul man has conceived a
plan whereby the people of St. Paul
and Minneapolis may get weekly
intelligence of the Thirteenth Min
nesota Regiment during its stay in
the Philippines. There are a great
many relatives of the soldier boys
living in the twin cities and they
want better communication with
the absent ones than is afforded by
the ordinary methods. The scheme
is to form an association which
shall subscribe to a common fund
to defray the expense of ten word
cablegram from Manila every week.
A good deal can be said in a ten
word message by using the CIPHER
code, and as the cost is only about
$25 the expense to any individual
subscriber would be very light.

realize GREAT FORTUNES
SOME OF THE LUCKY ONES
OF THE EARTH.
How Some Millionaires Have
Struck 1t Rich In a Few Mo-
ments-Others Labor For Years.

1t has become almost an axiom
with the majority that larger for
tunes are to be raised from some
simple invention than from some
difficult and expensive inventions
that involve a great outlay of money
to manufacture. This is, to GER
tain extent, true. An American
patent for fastening kid gloves has
yielded fortune ofseveral hundred
thousand dollars for its fortunate
owner, and the inventor of a collar
clasp enjoys $40, 600 royalty a year
as the reward Of his endeavor. A
new kind of sleeve button has made
$50, 900 in five years for its patentee
and the simple twisting of safety
pins in way that there is no pos
sible danger of the point sticking in
the child, promises to enl ich its
owner beyond any of his early
dreams of wealth. A man one day
turned piece of wire so as to hold
a cork more securely in a bottle
and forthwith somebody saw a
brilliant idea, and patent.d the
modern wire stopper holder, which
is now used annually on several
million bottles. The accidental
bending of hairpin by a woman
to prevent it from sliding out of her
hair so easily produced a fortune
for her husband, who Immediately
saw the possibilities of a crinkled
hairpin for women.
Instances could be multiplied in
definitely of large fortunes being
made from small inventions; but
fortunately for those inventors who
make life study of intricate prob
lens of mechanics, and disdain to
waste their talents upon trivial,
popular articles of the day, there is
often, also, ample reward held in
store for the products it takes years
to produce, and which revolutionize
existing methods Of industry and
mechanics. Edison has reaped
honors and riches of a princely
character from his discoveries; Nc
Cormick has realized in his reaper
the fortune of a millionaire; the
Corliss engine brought honors and
decorations to its inventor and en-
abled him to amass great fortune
in a couple of years; Prof. Bell found
in his telephone not only the con-
summation of his early hopes and
ambitions, but a substantial pecu-
mary reward; Harveyized steel ar
NOR has become synonymous with
the inventors name, and it brings
an income of huge proportions to its
discoveries; Elias Howe, the inven-
tor of the sewing machine, realized
over 81, 900, 600 from his inventions
and Nicola Tesla, though still young
and rich in promises, finds an album
dance of money in his work. Gas.

''El Orinoco! Mira, Ell Orinocoi' "The
Orinoco! See! The Orinocn," Thus
shouted the picturesque tatterdemalions
who accompanied us, and with lances
tossing high and their many-colored pom
chos floating on the wind, they galloped
down towards a river which well deserves
Its name of the mighty flood. p"
Think OF a stream that makes the Mis-
sissippi seem small, and whose great
reaches wind through forests the like of
when cannot be matched for grandeur
variety and beauty, anywhere on earth.
We struck these great waters near a
wretc1ed little native settlement, where
two or three half-breed Portuguese store
keepers heeced the unfortunate Indians
and ruined them with execrable rum dis
titled at their own discretion from patches
of poorly cultivated cane growing luxuri-
antly on these rich bottom lands. Agiar-
diente they call it, and by figure OF
speech tigers milk" This is certainly
most abominable stuff, although good rum
may be regarded as the least harmful form
OF ardent spirits.

We awaited here the arrival of some
river craft to carry us on our way. They
were announced as due 'in n little while
(poquito tiempo): but throughout Spanish
and Portuguese America this oft-repcatcd
expression may mean three minutes, three
hours, or three weeks Just as il happens.
Early one morning. and at that season
when monguba trees shed their leaves, we
stood looking at a grove of them. A cold,
gray mist rose up from the sodden ground,
wreathing itself among their bare branches.
1t shut out surrounding objects, and all
that was visible showed like the perfect
picture of a late autumnal scene in north

Not much time for sentiment, however.
was allowed on this occasion. for a clamor
of voices arose amidst that Jog bank lying
heavily along the river shore, and some
women began to scream and utter lamenta-
tons.
Anything tragic may happen in a place
like this at any moment, so Fastening
towards these signals of distress or danger,
we came upon a canoe with its bow drawn
up on the fiat and out Of it three men
were carefully lifting bloody figure.
Ii was an Indian who had been very
badly wounded by a jaguar. the left side
of his face was torn to pieces, his shoulder
on that side had been shattered, and the
muscles of his chest hung in tatters.
After doing as much as possible to relieve
him, his wife told us what had occurred.

Thousands of new readers every week make
it proper to again call attention to some OF
the good things in our literary locker.
Awake and imbued with the spirit of this
enterprising age, we have stopped at nothing

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is a current
review of the great questions which occupy
mems thoughts from week to week. The in
terests of the Nation are paramount. and
therefore such important matters as the Cuban
situation, Hawaiian annexation, British COM
picatiOns, and Alaskan gold discoveries are
treated Ill cyclopedic manner as they
arise. New pension rulings of great import

exclusively in our columns. The great ques-
tons before Congress and subjects dominat-

the Government also find full and safe exposi-
tiOn here.
