Bismarck on the situation-by Associated

 Freiderichsruhe, May 18.--The cold and rainy weather has increased Prince Bis marcks neuralgia and aggravated the swelling of his legs, and he has been unable to leave his bed for several days. pr. Schwenginger is again here, and is disquiet- ed about his patient. The prince, therefore, is unable to receive visitors, but from mem bers of the family has been gained the views of the former chancellor in the war and the suggested Anglo-Saxon alliance, as expressed by the prince in his most recent talk. In substance they are as follows: Prince Bismarck condemns the war out right. He says 1t is due to systematic American provocation, which finally became unbarable" He adds:
 The whole course of the Washington administration has been insincere.
 My views of war are well understood l have always held that it is only defensi- ble after all other remedies have failed The result of the war cannot be whole some, either to America or Europe. The United States will be forced to adopt an in- termeddling policy, leading to unavoidable frictions.

with plenty of admirers, but of them
all she favored but one. and that was
William Mckinley. The energetic lad
wooed like a Napoleon, but he met his
Waterloo at the hands of the old peo-
pie AS soon as they discovered that
the young couple were contemplating
ma trimony they interfered. Mckinley
was poor. and to the Shrewd eye of
John Wadsworth he did not appear like
a man calculated to get on in the world.
and for this reason he denied him the
hand of his fair daughter. The usual
result followed. ClandeStine meetings
and surreptitiOus correspondence was
resorted to. Whispers of possible
elOpement were waited to the old folks
ears. They resolved upon stern meas
ures and the romance was at an end.
There was in Poland a young man
named McMong. who had persistcntly
wooed the fair Lydia. Her parents ia
vored his suit and declared that she
must marry him. There was a stormy
scene and the girl vowed that she
would have the man of her choice or
none. but in the end she yielded. She
married McMong, who has been to her
all that her parents anticipated. To
day she is living in Big Rapids with her
husband and two pretty daughters.
Their home is coy and comfortable,
and they have the respect of the com
munty and substantial part in its
social life.

British Progress in India.

4 railway to India, from Alexandria
to Agra and Bombay is proposed by
C. Il. ID. Black in paper read before
the English Society of Arts. The line
would be 2,400 miles long, from Port
Said to Kurrachce and would cross up
per Arabia to Basra, at the head of the
Persian Gulf, and skirt the north shore
of the gulf and the Arabian Sea to
Kurrachee, on the border of India. Mr..
Black advocates the route for political
purposes mainly. through he thinks the
revenue would be sufficient to pay a
fair interest on its estimated cost Of
$50, 100000.

Secretary of War Writes to the
Canadian Minister of the Interior
The Relief Expedition.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Actine Secretary
Meiklejohn of the war department has
written to Mr.. Clifford Sifton, Canadian
minister of the interior, in regard to the
klOndike relief movement, as follows:
"Ihe war department has ordered its
pack animals to Vancouver and expects
to have the provisions at Skaguay some
time during the present month. The eX-
petition will probably begin to pack the
provisions over the mountains and max
ing starting place on the other side. If
the steam sleds are a success they will
be used. If not before we start out with
any considerable amount of provisions we
shall wait for the reindeer, which are
to be shipped about the goth.
Secretary Alker thinks if we get pro
visions along down to meet people com
ing out as you suggest, or get to DaW-
son with them by the first of April, it
may be in time to prevent suffering. There
is no doubt from information obtained
through your people and ours that there
are provisions enough in that vicinity to
last until April J. The pinch is going to
be from that time until navigation opens,
probably the last of june. We are doing
all we can to hasten the relief forward"
Expedition Starts February I.
Portland. Ore. Jan. cot is now pro-
posed to start the government Yukon re-
lief expedition from here on the steamer
George w. Elder. which sails for Skaguay
on February L. Major Jacobs of Nancouv-
cr barracks today engaged transportation
ON the Elder for Sc men, 200 tons of sup
plies and 80 mules The remainder of the
mules will not be shipped until week
later. as the Elders space had all been
engaged.
1t was the original intention to send the
expedition north ON the steamer Oregon,
sailing next Sunday, but owing to the
inability of the Snow and Ice Transporta
ton Company to get its train to Alaska
in time General Merriam decided to defer
sending the men and supplies for the eX-
petition until February |.

graves Oh the same spot. 1t was
through the efforts of DIR. whitman
that that portion of our country now
comprising Oregon, Washington ana
Idaho. with portions of Wyoming ana
Montana, was saved to the Union.
Previous to the final establishment
of the boundary line between Canada
and the United States by the treaty OF
1916. the Hudson Bay Company was i'll
virtual possession of that whole coun-
try. 1t opposed all efforts to civillZe
the Indians, for the reason that CIVIL
zation would interfere seriously with
their trade.
In 1892 four Indians came from Ore
gon to St. Louis, a journey Of more
than 5000 miles. for the sole purpose
of obtaining for their people the book
from heaven the white mans BlDle.
The Methodist Episcopal church sent
ont the Rev. Jason Lee and his asso--
ciates in 1884. and in 1880 the American
Board of commissioners for Foreign
Missions sent the Rev. Samuel Parker
and DR.. Marcus Whitman to explore
the country.
On the strength of their report the
Board Commissioned them to establish
mission among the Nez Perces. and
sent two other laborerS, the Rev. X. II.
Spalding and his young wife to accom-
pany them. Mrs. Spalding and Mrs.
Whitman were the first white women
to cross the Rocky Mountains. They
reached Vancouver in September, 1896,
having journeyed by wagon all the
way and having proved it possible to
take emigrant trains from the MiSSlS-
sippi to the Pacific coast.
Ia 1S42 there were 322 Indian fami-
lies which. under their tuition, had be
gun to cultivate the soil. In September
of that year Or. Whitman met at a
dinner table at Walla Walla several of
the chief officers of the Hudson Bay
Company. and heard what convinced
him that effort was being made to slim
ulate immi grafton from the British pos
sessions and to raise over the whole
Territory the British flag. EXcusing
his haStY departure. he rode twenty
five miles to his home, and before he
had leaped from his saddle announced
his purpose: II am going to ride to

son which will save this Territory to

Within twenty-four hours he had
started, with one companion. Who
worn out with toll and exposure, was
obliged to remain at Bent'S fort on
the Arkansas River until spring. After
suffering untold hardship, with his
ears, face and hand frozen, DR.. Whit
man reached st. Louis in February.
1913. and on March 3 he arrived in
Washington. five months from the time
of starting,
His first question on reaching civili-
zation was as to the AShburn treaty.
He was told it had been concluded.

question of the boundary west OF the

for future settlement. DR. Whitman

CAMP CUBA IlBRE. July Especial
The life OF a captain Of a company en-
camped here Is by no means an easy
one. There are numerous incidents that
may occur at any moment. and causes
a good deal OF trouble. a small proof
OF the truth OF this was given yesterday
to Captain Wyatt OF Company II. Fourth
Regiment The company, like most OF
the others, upon leaving Richmond, car
ried its cook along. who was TO prepare
the necessary meals. In this instance the
cook had repeatedly given dissatisfaction
to some OF the members OF the company.
Yesterday morning the climax was
reached over rather triiiing matter. but
IL was the well-known straw that broke
the camels back. and the boys decided
TO ask their captain for a change. A
petition was quickly drawn up. which
found ready agners, inasmuch as the
question was TO carher side with the MEM
bers OF the company or the negro.
