FROM BRANDS TO A PEERAGE.
The Rise of a Poor Scotch Boy, Now
Lord Strathcona.
washington Post.)


From errand boy in a village store to
peer of the realm-such is the extraor-
binary career of Lord Strathcona and
Mount Royal of Glencoe, who will land
Wednesday on these shores from the
Teutonic, this being his first visit to the
United States since he received his
peerage and became high commissioner
of the Dominion of Canada in London
He started life as errand boy in vii
lage store in County Moray, in Scot
land. emigrated at the age of II to Ca
NADIA, and ultimately entered the service
of the Hudson Bay company, where he
made his way up step by step until he
became it's chief. The knowledge of the
capabilities of Canada, which he gained
while acting as an officer of the coun-
try enabled him at once to see the
value of the country as a field for set
Element, and to lay the foundations of
his own large fortune. He may be said
to have been the creator of the Cana
dian Pacific railroad, as well as the
munfficent founder of many of the
great public institutions of the do
minion. In fact, few men have con-
tributed more to the development of the
later than this eX-errand boy, and as
such it was only fitting that Queen Vic
toria should signalize her diamond Ju-
bilee last year by transforming his
name of Donald Smith into Lord
Strathcona. He was anxious on receiv-
ing his peerage to assume the title of
Lord Glencoe, having purchased the
estate comprising the pass of Glencoe.
scene of one of the foulest deeds of
treachery in the annals of Scotland.
But there was such an outcry on the
part of old Scotch lairds and chieftains
at the idea of a self-made man such as
Donald Smith assuming the name of
Glencoe the clan of Macdonald being
especially loud in it's protests, that the
new peer ultimately resolved to take
the name and style of Lord Strathcona,
merely lacking the Glencoe onto the
end as a. reminder that his country seat
is at Glencoe, where he has recently
| been entertaining the Duke and
Duchess of Connaught.
Inasmuch as Lord Strathcona has no
son, but only a daughter. married to a
physician of the name of Dr. Bliss How
ard, his peerage will become extinct at
his death. That he is not unknown in
| the United States is shown by the fact
! that he has received honorary degrees
| from Yale, Harvard and other Amer
! lean universities, and that he is a d.
rector in a number of railroad compa-
MES in this country.

BIG SHIP ABLAZE.
Thrilling Spectacle Witnessed By a
German Steamer.

New York, Dec. 4.-The German
steamer Dalecarlia, from Rio de ia
Metro, which arrived today, when in lat
itude S7.46, longitude 1852 came along
side of ship ablaze from the stern to
the foremost, while a large yellow
funneled German steamship was
standing in near the flaming, pitching
wreck. Nobody could be seen on the
decks of the burning vessel, nor We're
there any boats struggling amid the
waves, so it is probable that the crew
were rescued by the steamship, which
was waiting to note the end. After
steaming around the wreck twice, the
Dalecarlia proceeded on her way. The
steamer by the burning ship was either
the Vera or the Fulda of the North
German Lloyd line. Both vessels sailed
in company from this port last week,
bound for Havana.

DISEASES IN IDAHO.

The report also gives a delayed account
of Special Agent w. L. Williams investi-
CATION into the epidemic of cerebro-spinal
meningitis in horses and the hog cholera
in Idaho. Of the former disease he says:
1T prevails chiefly though not wholly
on the east side of Snake river, near the
foothills. along a small tributary of the
Snake river called Willow creek. Moth
ing in the location suggests possible
cause for the notable prevalence of the
disease in this particular section Oh the
valley, except perhaps, that since the
water in this creek here flows nearer the
level of the valley. and is, therefore, more
available for irrigation purposes anc
since the soil is here deep ana raln6f Ief-
tile this portion of the valley was carrier
and more thickly settled.
so far as could be learned, the disease
has not prevailed on the footh1l range,
near which the creek flows. nor have we
learned of any similar affection among
range horses in the northern Rocky
mountain region.
Attendant circumstances indicate that
some of the causes frequently assigned
for enzootc cerebro-spinal meningitis, es-
pecially the defective drainage OF staples
and paddOcks, could not operate IN these
cases, nor could mOldy food have been
the cause, since fungi cannot mere grow
! in any great amount upon vegetation,
owing to the extreme dryness OF the ell
mate. The annual numerical loss in the
infected region could not be readily de-
termined but it reaches probably over 1OO
horses. This is a large percentage in this
small and thinly settled area. Since the
majority of horses kept in the valley are
animals used for work purposes, and since
on many farms all the horses have died.
the disease constitutes a formidable bar
rier to successful agriculture.
HOG CHOLERA IN IDAHO.
Mr.. Williams also investigated the
! deaths of swine in and about Idaho Falls
! in 1886 lie says: Among the heaviest
| losers We're Mr.. c. c. Tautphaus and the
| Cooperative Wagon & Machinery COM
pany, both of Idaho Falls. The former is
a packer who bought swine in small lots
| from various farmers and confined them
together in the slaughter-house pens,
/ where they ate the offal from slaughtered
animals. The latter are general mer-
| chants millers and stock shippers, who
| bought swine promiScuOuSly ana led them
in a common lot upon mill refuse, ship
! ping those which We're fat at such times
as were convenient. The disease also eX-
listed in various sections of the Snake
/ River valley, many farmers suffering
| heavy losses. The affected animals which
| we were able to find were chiefly chronic
| or sub-acute cases, so that for general
! SYMPTOMS We were compelled to rely upon
! such information as the owners or care
! takers of affected swine We're able to give
US"
The special agent finds that the common
/ supposftion about Idaho Falls, that the
! two affections-of horses and hOgs-are
/ identical and due to a common cause, is
refuted. No clinical or historical evidence

ing has been held by local business
men, Americans and Puerto Ricans, to
protest vigorously against any delay in
reforms, which are absolutely necessary
to prevent the continuance of serious
abuses.
The same meeting condemned the ac-
ton of the American authorities in col
lecting arrears Of Spanish taxes since
1883, and called Tor the application of
American laws and the establishment Of
free trade with the limited states.

Of identity could be established through

of identity could be established through
other obtainable facts.
The hogs died OF cholera. Mr. Williams
says the conditions in the northern Rocky
mountain district are. in one noticeable
respect, very unfavorable for swine
breeding. The farmers have not yet
learned that isolation should be the CHIEF
factor in the prevention of contagious
diseases. Furthermore, the popular be-
lief is that hog cholera viii not exist at
this altitude. and consequently no precau-
tiOns are observed against it.
Swine in this section are generally con-
fined for q short time during the short
cropping season of this altitude. and are
then allowed to roam at will getting their
living from waste grain left upon the
fields. from alfalfa. etc. As the fences
are mostly of three barb wires. they are
effective only against the larger dOmes-
tic animals. so that swine go from farm
to farm and the herds Of various farmers
mingle indiscriminately
Otherwise the opportunities for limit
ing the ravages- Of hog cholera are better
in this region than they are in the Mis-
sissippi valley. as the hOg-producing areas
are comnarativaiv small and isolated from
each other. with scant interchanges of
stock between them.
