SHED THEIR teeth.
A Peculiarly About the Muskellunge
Fish.

A Popularity About the Muskellunge
Fish.
A few weeks ago I advanced what
was to me the curious information re-
garding the shedding of its teeth by
the muskellunge during the summer
months, says a writer in Forest and
Stream. I now have confirmation on
the matter advanced at that by Mr.. H.
L. Stanton, of Chicago, and 1 believe
the phenomenon properly to be re-
garded as established. Mr.. Stanton's
observations were made in Wisconsin,
and his original informant had seen
the PHENOMENON in Canada. Now comes
Mr.. H. G. Mccartney, of Chicago, who
has observed the same thing in the
waters of Cass and Itasca counties
of Minnesota. Mr.. Mccartney says
that last spring in May and June the
teeth of all the muskeliunge taken in
Woman lake and adjacent waters were
sound and normal. On July 10 he ex-
amined fish which showed jaws red
and infamed, and with some of the
teeth missing. In August still more
teeth were found to be absent in speci-s
mems examined. In late August and
in September it was the rule that no
teeth at all would be found in the
mouths Of the muskellunge taken. The
muskellunge taken in October all
showed perfect teeth. Mr.. Mccartney
intends to keep record on this matter
next year. He does not know whether
the teeth are shed yearly or not, but
knows that they are shed sometimes. =.

AN ACCIDENT.

AN ACCIDENT.
It was upon the third OF March
While doing chores in town.
I accidently stubbed my toe,
And nearly tumbled down.
I had two pals OF water when
tripped and took jolt
Which dashed the water from my
pals
Against a high bred colt.
The colt sprang forward, then
kicked back,
With strong and cruel blow:
That hit me square on my right
leg,
And hurt me some I know;
For when they took me to my home
l found, oh! very soon
I could not step nor dance a Jig,
One leg was not in tune.

ENGLAND TO THE FRONT.
VIII Resist Russia's Pretensions In Asia
Japan VIII Aid Her.

Chicago, Jan. 3.--A special from
Minneapolis says: Advices from OF
towa indicate that the British govern
ment is preparing to actively resist
Russian occupancy Of Port Arthur and
Russian influence in Corea, and also
that the cooperation OF the Japanese
feet with that of Great Britain is a
well-settled fact.
Information has been received fro
q reliable source to the effect that the
Ottawa government 30 days ago notified
the Canadian Pacific officials to be
in readiness for the immediate trans
portation from Montreal to Vancouver
and Esquimalt $500 men, the contin-
gent consisting of engineers, guides and
deck officers. According to informa-
tion at hand, the road has prepared
for handling 5000 men, five trains be-
ing held in readiness for this service
The officers included in the first CON
tingent are intended to reinforce the
japanese feet, which it is said is very
short on engineering talent and deficient
in gunnery. The dispatch adds that a
secret agreement has been concluded
between Great Britain and Japan By
the terms of which the Russian preten-
sions in Corea are to he overcome, and
Russian aggrandizement in Asia per-
manently checked.
Captain Ronald Rolf, r. N, on in
spection service, just returned from the
West and on his way to England via
New York, says, in his opinion, til,
force above referred to is destined to in
crease the English forces at the Forts
at Esquimalt and the Pacific squadron.
He declines to discuss the probability
of an imbroglio with Russia, but asserts
that in case of actual hostiIities the
British Asiatic squadron is Of = ufficient
strength to enforce any demands Great
Britain may have to make. He denies
that there is any probability Of an
Anglo-Japanese alliance, remarking
that England's combining with a
fourth-rate power like Japan would be
confession Of weakness that does not
exist. He asserts with positiveness that
the contingent to be sent West is not
for Japanese reinforcement, but rather
to serve on the fleets in operation
should naval war be precipitated in
the Orient.

A NEW ERA Is At HAND
Autonomy to Be Established
in Cuba.
THE PLAN AS SET FORTH

Bianco to Control Government Depart
ments-Crown Ministers to Dictate
his Course--Cubans VIII Not Accept.
Havana, Jan. 8.--The Gazette (offi-
ciaD has printed the autonomic legis.
lation for Cuba. General Blanco in
his edict assumes supreme command Of
all branches Of the government as the
delegate Of the crown ministers Of state.
war, navy and foreign affairs, who re-
side In Madrid, and who will continue
to dictate TO General Blanco what ne
shall do In carrying out his functions.
General Blanco, or any other cap
tain-general who might be appointed
in his place, will be simply yice-royal
governor, and will be assisted by six
secretaries assembled with their chair
man in council Of government. The
government will 90 into effect on Sat-
urday next, and will be formed OF five
secretaries with their chairman (six
altogether). The list OF five secretaries
has already been forecasted by cable,
with the exception that the depart
ment OF posts and telegraphs will be
under Senior Rodriguez.
The correspondent Of the Madrid I'm
parcial, who has ridden over greater
part of the island, writes to his paper
that he saw at San Jose Lajas, this
province, $500 reconcentrados thrown
into the streets or dying in vretched
huts, mere living skeletons. He stated
that 10000 have died within a year.
Most Of the reconcentrados, he says, do
not care to work when they leave their
homes. They carried with them all
their belongings, and have gradually
sold them. Their physical strength is
wasted, and they need helping hand
to lift them even from the gutter.
Several correspondents of El Diario
de la Marina describe the horrible
misery due to fevers and sickness in
different towns in the province OF Santa
Clara. The people are without shelter
or medical assistance. The winter
season increases the suffering among
them. The women are half nude, with
their naked infants wasted with cold
and hunger.

Inasnenpencs Their Goal.

New York, Jan. 8.--A Herald corre-
spondent has just returned TO Havana
after having visited the camp of GEN
eral Gomez After long and perilous
ride through country infested with
Spanish troops, he reached General
Gomez camp, December IS, and found
the general in excellent health and
spirits. He was able for the first time
in many months to mount his horse and
make long journey Of inspection of
the various camps into which the men
under his immediate command Were
divided.
The correspondent put before Cen
eral Gomez the programme of autonomy
to secure his opinion. The general
smiled contemptuously, after glancing
over copy of Havana paper contain
ing the terms, and said:
There is no use wasting time in
discussing these terms 1t makes no
difference whether they be regarded
as liberal or not. the fact remains that
we are not fighting for autonomy, but
for independence. This Spain seems
utterly unable to realize. We have
been told that the autonomy offered is
an act Of liberality by the mother
country to induce the patriots in arms
to resume their allegiance to Spain.
That is worse than folly. 1t is an in
suit to the men fighting for freedom.
There is not in the Cuban army one
man so base as to accept such terms.
We will not even listen to any over
lures, and any person entering our
camps for such purpose will be put
to death in accordance with my general
orders. !"
Continuing, General Gomez said he
had no faith in the ability of Spain to
Immediately enact autonomy, even in
the sections under Spanish control, but
wheter she succeeded or not, the mat
ter was OF no moment to the men in the
field, who would continue to fight, ami
mated by love OF freedom and an abso-
lutte confidence in ultimate success.
The correspondent asked General
Gomez for his opinion as to American
Intervention and the annexation of
Cuba to the United States. He replied
that intervention does not necessarily
imply annexation.
II would gladly accept the former,
as would accept aid from any quarter,
though believe If left alone we will
accomplish our own independence un-
aided, and am loath that we should
be robbed of any share of the honor Of
expulsion of the Spaniards.
Gas far as annexation is concerned,
cannot admit its possibility. To that
proposition ! make the same reply as
/ do to the autonomy plan: That our
object is Independence; we have among
us young men who have sacrificed
everything to this sacred cause. For
myself, am an old man, who now has
but one object in life, and that is to
see the flag Of Cuba supreme from Cape
Maysi to San Antonio. We have made
fearful sacrifices and we stand ready to
make more in order TO achieve this
glorious end. 2

Favors Postal savings Banks.

Denver, Jan. Ex-Governor Adams,
who is president of the Pueblo Savings
bank, received letter today from Brad
ford, Rhodes & Co., banking publishers
of New York, in regard to the efforts to
be made by savings bank officials to
prevent the establishment of postal
savings banks. The governor immedi-
ately wrote reply. in which he said:
"While can see some objections to
postal savings banks, the bulk OF the
argument seems to me to be in favor of
their establishment. The interests of
the people appear to demand that the
government should give them place
of deposit that is beyond question
secure. Believing this, overlook my
interest as an investor in savings
bank for the larger interest Of those
who would be interested in postal saw.

Havana WIN Again Resume shippins
Of Tobacco.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 3.-A special to
the Constitution from Havana says:
From responsible source comes the
information that the port OF Havana
will be opened to expectation within "a
hours. The port was closed by Cap
tain General Weyler's edict of May IA,
1896, for the purpose Of cutting off the
tobacco industry of the United States.
particularly of Tampa and Key West,
from the supply. General Weyler did
this. he claimed, to insure permanent
employment to the discontented cigar
makers in Havana during the trouble
some times of war, but it is understood
that his special aim was to paralyze the
Cuban colonies in the United States
from which was coming the fostering
strength that made the insurgents for
midable. There are about 20, 900 bales
of tobacco now choked in the ware
houses Of Havana, ready to be shipped
to the States the moment the port is
opened. 1t is said the crop is promis-
ing, all of which indicates that brighter
days are dawning for the paralyzed
commerce of Cuba and the cigar fac
tories of the United States.

RoBINsoNs RECOMMENDATION
Says Dawson Can Easily BE Reached
by Taking Skaguay Trail.

Washington, Jan. S.-Secretary Al
ger has received two reports from Cap
tain Robinson, the contract quartermas-
ter at Seattle, touching the respective
merits Of the differnet trails from the
seaboard into the Klondike country.
He made thorough inquiry at the di-
reetion Of the secretary, and in sub
stance his conclusions, reached after
conference with Jack Dalton and other
experts. is that the Dalton trail is not
well adapted to the uses of the govern
ment expedition during the winter, but
that the Skagway route is probably the
best. The captain says he has had an
interview with one man who claims to
have 20, 600 pounds of beef stored at
Lake Bennett which he is willing to
sell at 81 a pound. The same man
SAYS he has 1870 pounds of corn and
20 OF 80 horses at the same place, with
which he proposes to organize sled
train into Dawson. Captain Robinson
says himself that his opinion is that
the difficulty OF reaching Dawson has
been very much exaggerated, and that
a good army officer could make his way
with an expedition. Montana horses
should be used,

Everybody was comfortably fixed for
the winter, SO far as provisions we're
concerned. When the boats Of the
transportation companies were stuck,
down the Yukon, the companies fur
nished transportation down the river
for all that wished to go. To those
who had money they sold provisions;
to those who had no money, they gave
work, which would enable them to buy
what supplies they needed. OF course,
this made fewer mouths to feed. Then
many became frightened by early re-
ports Of probable famine, and, selling
their provisions, came out over the ice.
This, of course, added to the supplies
at Dawson.
II found, when l reached there, Oc-
tober Is, that there was really great
deal of scare. Reports had been
spread by men who came out early that
there were more supplies than needed,
and this led to the fear that none would
be brought in. This very panic led
many to leave the country, and still
further provided against famine.

they were taking out an ounce to the
pan.
We had no difficulty coming out,
though the ice is appended in the
river, and it is the toughest place i'm
aginabe. The anchor ice which
formed in the bottom of the stream has
risen in great masses, and is piled in
all kinds of fantastic shapes.

Christie purchased several claims
while in Dawson for himself and his
partners in Portland. He will return
to Dawson as soon as he can make ar

civilian witnesse. in Court-Martial.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The naval au-
thorities have long regarded as unsatis.
factory the provision OF laws relating
to the administration OF justice in naval
court-martial, which are not empow-
cred to secure the attendance and testi-
mony of ciyilian witnesses. II often
happens that important facts are exclu-
sively known by civilians, and their
testimony is required before almost
every important naval court martial.
1t rarely happens that witnesses that
can avoid so doing are willing to appear
in such cases. Secretary Long says
that from an examination of legislation
on this subject. it does not appear by
any means clear that congress intended
to leave courts-martial in such posi-
tion. He has submitted to the naval
committee bill to remedy the defect
without giving courts undue notice.
The first question involves only an ex-
tension to the judge-advocate of naval
courts-martial and courts Of inquiry

 The body thus discovered, after hay ing been in the water nearly eight weeks, was brought back to Germany with much ceremony and received a quasi-public funeral in which the Elm peror figured conspicuously Inquiries made in Germany at the time showed that German editors had received other versions of the story of Won Hahnke's death, but that they were afraid to publish anything on the subject
 Now We have the further extraordin- ary fact that, In addition to the unpre- cedented honors paid to him last year. the Emperor has himself erected and himself inaugurated a monument to this young naval lieutenant-whose name was hardly known outside his own ship and his own family at the time of his death. We also see the Ger man press supplied over and over again with narratives strongly suggestive of official inspiration, detailing all the cir cumstances of the tragedy. All infor- nation, however, as to the evidence on which the narratives are founded is conspicuously wanting.
 In one account it is stated that brother officer of the Hohenzollern was with Von Hahnke at the time of the accident, but, strange to say, his name is not given. An old man, and two children are also stated to have wit messed the accident. The question nat urally arises, when and by whom was their evidence taken? Was there any official identification of the body when 1t was recovered? Did the Norwegian authorities hold no inquiry before send

 called to mind by the recent per
 formances of the German Elm peror at Odde, where his Majesty has been inaugurating, with vast amount of ceremony, a monument erected by himself to the deceased officer. If any thing. the proceeding at Odde serve only to deepen the mystery. It will be remembered that the official version or the accident attributed Won Hahnke' $ death to his losing control Of his bl- cycle at a dangerous spot on marrow down-hill road, and falling in conse- quence into a raging torrent beneath.
 Certain persons. including one or more brother officers of the deceased, were said to have witnessed the accl- dent, but the names of these witnesses have never been disclosed, nor, so Tar as can be ascertained, was any 1n- quiry into the affair held by the local authorities.
 Ugly rumors have been current con meeting the disappearance Of Von Hahnke with the subsequent appear ance of the Emperor with a black eye in explanation of which another strange and unauthenticated story was official ly put forward. Then, nearly two months after the event, 1t was an nounced that the lieutenant's body had been recovered, although it had pre- viously been demonstrated by practical experiments that no human body could
