table. One Of the most common obser.
vations among those who are familiar
with the habits Of the poorer classes Of
wage workers, the report continues, is
to the effect that a not inconsiderable
amount Of the prevalence of intemper.
ance can be traced to poor food and un.
attractive home tables. Throughout
ill these dietaries there was shown
very little comprehension of the actual
Nutritivs Value Of the Food
purchased, the selection apparently be.
ing made according to some whim or
taste, the presence Of the certain food
materials in the market, or because
the housekeeper had become acous.
toned to purchasing certain kinds Of
food. The larger number of families
spent more than they really could Of.
ford for food, and yet frequently re.
ceived insufficient nourishment. It is
suggested that one of the best and sur.
est ways to improve the condition of the
poor Is to give them practical instruo.
tons and object lessons in the prepara.
tion OF attractive, yet simple and cheap
foods. The subjects upon which the
women should be instructed include les.

Survivors Of the llsins Disastsr Decidedly
Of That Opinion.
KEY WEST, Fla, Feb. 17.-The
steamship Olivette has arrived here
with large number Of the wounded
and many other survivors Of the Maine
disaster. The officers were, as rule,
reticent and followed in line with their
chief. Sigsbee, in saying that the cause
Of the explosion could only be ascer.
tanned by divers, but many of the sail.
ors were outspoken in their declaration
Of belief that the explosion was a
deep laid plot of the spaniards.
They are greatly incensed against
the Havana people. who have shown
them small courtesy, who looked upon
their presence a. q national affront and
who have published anonymous circu.
lars captioned "Down with Ameri.
cans" They believe that the author
Of such expressed and cowardly hatred
would not stop at an act Of such terri.
BILE vengeance as the blowing up of the
Maine. These sailors, acquainted with
the drills, disciplines and ensemble Of q

z CMc1 90, Feb 1.-THE Post says:
Joseph Z ter has securely cornered the
May wLsat market, plays fast and loose
with the fears of tremendous short
interest, and is showing himself to be
by all odds the most remarkable factor
ever encountered in the local market.
Once more the battle between Armour
and Letter is being witnessed. Vague
rumors from the Northwest, showing
that some big forces were at work
there, revealed themselves in the shape
Of facts. Armour sent his brokers' to
the Northwest section some days ago
TO buy all the cash wheat in sight. It
Is held Armour wants to return an
equivalent for the wheat which, despite
his denials, it is asserted he borrowed
from Peavey to deliver to Letter on
December contracts.
No sooner did Letter hear Of this
flank movement than he began to plan
coup. Instructions were forwarded
10 all of Letters brokers in the North
west to follow up Armour's agents and
bid ., 8 and cents higher than Ar.
mour on all wheat offered to the latter.

A CANADIAN STATEMENT.


Ninistsr sifton Says the United States 10
in Possession Of Canadian Territory.
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 12.-In the house
Of commons, Minister Sifton stated that
q provisional boundary was established
many years ago on the Stickeen, cross.
ing the river about l5 miles from its
mouth. AS regards Taiya and Skaguay,
they were really in Canadian territory,
but the United States had held undis.
puted possession of them. Sir Charles
Tupper suggested that this was putting
1t trather seriously. Mr.. Sifton replied
that it was unfortunate, but fact
nevertheless. that the right of posses.
sion had not been challenged.
Important customs regulations have
just been issued by the government.
In effect they require that all goods
purchased in Canada and destined for
the Klondike region must be carried in
Canadian vessels to the customs port of
landing, otherwise full duty will be
charged thereon. Prospectors, there.
fore, will be compelled to travel by
Canadian vessels to escape customs
charges.

AN EXCITING DAY.

Destruction Of tho Maine the Sole Topic
Of Discussion at Warrington.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.-After day
Of intense excitement at the navy de.
partment and elsewhere growing out Of
the destruction of the battleship Maine
in Havana harbor the situation, after
the exchange Of number of cable
grams between Washington and Ha-
vana, can be summed up in the words
of Secretary Long. When asked
whether he had reason to suspect that
the disaster was the work of an enemy,
he replied:
II do not. In that am Influenced
by the fact that Captain sigsbee has
not yet reported to the navy depart
ment on the cause. He is evidently
waiting to write full report. So long
as he does not express himself I cor.
tainly cannot. should think from the
indications, however, that there waa
an accident-that the magasine ex.
ploded. How that came about do not
know. For the present, at least, NO
other warship will be sent to Havana"
An Investigation Ordered.
Secretary Long undoubtedly sum.
married. the general opinion of the ma.
jority of the naval experts in finding it
impossible just now to state the cause
Of the destruction Of the Maine. There
are great number of theories, but
most of them are of character that
makes it easy to prove or upset them
by a single investigation by diver.
Secretary Long has taken immediate
steps to make this investigation. He
autographed to Admiral Sicard at Key
West to appoint board Of naval Off.
5cers to proceed at once to Havana, am.
:ploy divers and. generally 10 mako snah
Inquiry "a the regulations Of the navy
demand shall be made In the case Of
the loss Of . ship. It is expected that
this work will take some. time, and
while there are officers who say that in
their opinion it will not be possible,
owing to the probable disrupted condi-
ton of the hull of the ship, to make
out the cause of the explosion, the
opinion Of the majority is that the
question win be easily settled by the
simple observation Of the condition of
the ships hull plates in the neighbor-
hood Of the hole which sunk her.
