tile lands of Western Canada, which
were made at the several state and
county fairs in some of the Western
states this fall, have awakened consid-
cradle interest in the lands which the
Canadian Government has opened for
settlement, and which are given free
to settlers. The agents of the govern
ment, who are to be found in these
states, are flooded with inquiries re-
garding the conditions on which these
lands may be secured. Large numbers
have located on these lands during
the past year, and send back to their
friends most encouraging reports. They
say they have entered on an era or
prosperity, and are well pleased with
both the agricultural possibilities and
the climate. The provinces OF Mani
toba, Assinaboia and Alberta are spe-
cially adapted to diversified farming.
In some parts the country is special.
adapted TO stock raising, and ii is be-
ing profitably pursued. In these parts
snow seldom remains week at time,
the warm breezes from the ocean af-
fecting the climate thus favorably.
When the desirability of these lands is
fully known there will be a rush such
as has scarcely ever before been
known. Information as to low railway
rates, illustrated pamphlets, etc, will
be forwarded with pleasure by the De-
partment of the Interior, Ottawa, Can
ada, IL you are not In possession OF the
name OF an agent Of the government.

England SAYS Uncle sam Did Right.

The DeLome incident has excited lit
tie interest in England, but the opin-
ions expressed almost unanimously in
dorse the position of the United States.
The daily newspapers. with the excep-
ton of the Morning Post, have adopted
the view that the administration took
the right course. The Spectator is not
sorry the moment may be approaching
when the United States will intervene
to stop the agonies of Cuba" adding:
Their only hope is in the United
States sternly declaring that Spanish
troops must leave and that the Cubans
be allowed TO settle their own fate.
That the United States will be morally
justified in saying the war must end,
and that Cuba he given peace, there is
no doubt for moment.

iNSULTED THE PRESIDENT.
DE LONE Calls Mckinley Hard Names
and Must Leave the United States.

DE LONE Calls Mckinley Hard Names
and Must Leave the United states.
The representatives of the Cuban
iunta at New York have given out cop
les of letter signed Enrique Dupuy
De LONE who is minister of Spain at
Washington and addressed TO Jose
Canalejas, who went To Cuba last Sep
TENDER as Premier Sagastas personal
representative. In this letter the Span
ish minister refers to President Nc
Kinley as weak and catering TO the
rabble," and as low politician, who
desires to stand well with the jingoes
of his party Horatio l.. Rubens,
counsel for the Cuban junta says: Eve
know absolutely that this letter is gem
uine A man risked his life TO obtain
it. We do not hesitate to acknowledge
that it was stolen from Canalejas. II
is written on the paper of the legation.
The handwriting is De Lome's and the
signature is his. He may deny it until
he is black in the face, but il is genuine
and everybody who has seen it knows
that il is"
The publication of De Lomes letter
caused a sensation in official Washing
ton and will undoubtedly soon be fol-
lowed by Senior De Lome's departure
from the United States. At the outset
there was disposition to question the
authenticity of the letter, but as bit by
bit the circumstantial evidence accu-
mulated, until il was finally announced
officially that the minister declined to
deny the authorship of the letter, all
doubt was dissipated and the only ques-
ton that remained was as to the line of
action to be pursued by our govern
ment toward the offending minister.
The writing of this letter is unques-
tionably an offense against the ameni-
ties of diplomatic relations, and such
offenses almost invariably have been
regarded in the United States, as in
other countries, as sufficient ground for
the termination of the official status OF
| the letter writer
The state department has promptly
taken hold of the matter, Assistant See
rotary Day consulting President McKin'
! ley four times during the day,which re
suited in message being sent to u. S
| Minister Woodford at Madrid directing
him to lay the facts before the Spanish
government together with the state
ment that in view of the. minister's re
fusal TO deny the authorship of the let
ter the Spanish government is looked
to with confidence TO deal with the cast
properly. This amounts to an invita-
ton to recall the minister, presuming
that he himself has not already taker
steps to vacate his position. No doubt
is entertained of a compliance with the
implied suggestion, but in case there
should be undue delay in acting the
upon to move directly in the matter
and give the minister his passports.

During short open session of the
Senate two phases of the Cuban ques-
ton were adverted to briefly. The
amendment of Mr.. Allen to the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
recognizing the belligerency of the
Cuban insurgents was reported adj
versely by the foreign relations com
mittee, not, as Mr. Morgan explained,
on the merits of the amendment, but
because the committee did not ap-
prove of lacking such legislation to
appropriation bills. Mr.. Morgan's res
olution, calling upon the President fol
the reports of United States consuls
in Cuba and for information as tC
whether any agent of the autonomous
government in Cuba had been accred
tied to this government and recognized
by it was adopted without dissent.

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
How badness begins.
How to prevent it.

Every person, male or female, shriuks
from badness. IL adds to the appearance
of age aud is serious discomfort. The
cases are rare when the falling out OF the
hair may not be stopped, and a new and
healthy growth OF the hair promoted. The
hair grows Ia the scalp like a plant in the
soil. IL plant fourishes, IL must have
constant attention; II must be watered
regularly and find its food in the soil
where II Is rooted. It's so with the hair.
Neglect Is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Dsndruff is allowed to thicken on
the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The
scalp loses its vitality. The hair, Insult
hciently nourished, begins to fade and to
fall. The instant need in such case is
some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishmeut to the
scalp, will feed the hair, give IL strength,
and so produce strong aud healthy
growth. All this is done by Dir. Ayers
HAIR vigor, the most practical and valua-
bile preparation for the hair that can be
obtained. 1t tones up the scalp, does away
with dandruf. stops the hair from falling,

DE LONE Forced to Resign.

Madrid: At meeting of the Spanish
cabinet, the minister for foreign affairs,
Senior Gullon, read a dispatch from
Senior Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish
minister at Washington, saying that
the published letter to Senior Canalejas
was written by him, and that his posi-
ton, consequently, had become unten-
able, and he begged the government to
accept his resignation. The cabinet
decided to accept the resignation, and
it was decided TO entrust the first see
rotary with the conduct of the current
affairs of the legation.
