THE BANANA PLANTER.
In Honduras He IL q Creature whose
PhilOsOphic Calm In Never
Disturbed.

THE small banana planter Of Hon
duras Is the happiest creature on
earth" said a local shipper. reports the
New Orleans TimeS-Democrat. land
nothing ever nov him from his
philosophic calm. The frightful hur-
ricane which ragged along the Hondu-
rian Goa on the LIST of the month abb
soluteIy destroyed scores of planta-
lions. The trees were plucked out of
the earth like blades of grass. the
fragile buildings were blown into kind
ling wood. and nothing whatever left
to tell the tale. Happening anywhere
else. such q disaster would have teen
a tragedy of the first order. and meant
incalcuIable suffering. but nature is
very kind to her children on the banana
coast. All that is necessary to bill
tate the ravaged plantations is TO stick
n few clippings in the ground and wait
for them TO take o and bear. The
work is usually divided between the
planter and his wifc-she sets out the
clippings and he does the waiting.
Some time during the year. if he is not
too tired. he may rebuild his residence.
This is done by tying a native rope
around four suitable trees and laying
zane stalks crossways over the top.
Other cane stalks are now and then
used for sides. but they are really I'M
necessary. as the Honduranian contep-
ton of privacy is very vague. and there
is never anything to steal. So. as a
matter of fact. the hurricane was much
less calamitous than il appeared to
those who are unfamiliar with native
conditions. The principal loss which it
entailed was in damage 10 the present
banana crop. and the fruit grows with
such rapiGity that three months ought
to completely repair it. Meantime, the
planter does quantities of resting and
is happy"

There were III votes thrown out in
the recent recount in Eureka county,
a large number Of which wero agreed
to be bad under Il decision OF the su-

says of this matter:

sumed that Sadler received about two

Sentinel is informed, however, that

for governor, the number OF McMil-

the Red Cross people were adamant and

the populace seemed to miss it. 1t was
about the only article with which the

cabling to Washington repaired the
loss. and within q week flags were sent
all over the island and raised upon the
roofs Of many a city hall. Ponce itself
held more foreign flags than we had
ever seen. Judging from their number

lation was composed entirely of Eng.

FOR DEEP-WATER CANALS.
Com m ission Will Finish Work on
Routes in Thirty Days.

Com m ission Will Finish Work on
Routes in Thirty Days.
The field work OF the deep-waterways
commission appointed to report ON the
feasibility of constructing deep-water
canals from the great lakes to the Atlantic
sea board and to suggest the routes will be
finished in about thirty days.
Twelve surveying parties are in the field
working along three different routes. One
of these routes is from Oswego through
the Mohawk valley to the Hudson river;
another from the st. Lawrence to the
Hudson by way of Lake Champlain, and
the third by way of the st. Lawrence riv-
er and the Gulf of st. lawrence.
Each surveying party is accompanied by
men who are boring at intervals of every
rod to the depth OF thirty feet to deter
mine the character of the geological for
nation. The result of each test is care
fully preserved and properly labeled, SO
that the comnission will be able to report
the character and expense of the work of
excavation for every rod of each route.
After the field work has been concluded
the commission will begin the preparation
of its data and report. an undertaking of
considerable magnitude. This will require,
it is estimated, about thirteen months, so
that the report will not be submitted TO
the War Department until about Jan. 1,
1900.
Up to date the commission has expended
$3.50, 900 of its appropriation of $375,000
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1899.
The work is being carried on at the rate
of about $4,000 week. 1t is estimated
that $430, 900 will be required to complete
the surveying projects, and Congress will
therefore be asked to appropriate 100000
to be expended after June 30 1899.

MILES MAKES REPORT.
Recommends Increase of .ne Stand
ing Army


ing Array.
Gen. Miles report of the war with
Spain, which it was alleged would contain
some caustic criticism of the War Depart
ment and bureau chiefs. turns out to be
wholly devoid of sensa tionalism. 1t has
been made public by order OF Secretary
Alger, and is found to be merely a repeti-
tion of facts that are already well known,
with such comment MS might naturally be
expected from the general commanding
the army.
Gen. Miles explains the delays in r,,eiv-
ing supplies when the troops We're being
assembled by the lack of preparation. and
says that with so many undisciplined men
in the camps there must necessarily be
some sickness.
Copies of letters and kilograms accom-
panying the report show that on June 26
Gen. Miles was directed to organize the
Porto Rican campaign and TO take COM
mand of both that force and Gen. Shat
ters army In letter dated July II
Shafter told Miles that Alger had prom
ised him that he would not be superseded
in command in Cuba. Gen. Miles replied
promptly that he was the general com
manding the army, and that Shafter was
subject TO his orders. Under orders from
Washington Gen. Miles accepted the sur
render of Santiago.
Gen. Miles urges the early completion
OF coast defenses and favors increasing
the standing army to g., 500 men, or one
soldier for every 1000 of the population.
In conclusion, he recommends the au-
thorization of an auxiliary force of native
troops in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, to be oilicered by United States
army officers, and not exceeding two sol
diers per 1000 population of the islands.
and all of these increases, he urges, should
be made at once, as they are OF vital inn
portnnce.

Chief Interest Centered in Congress
sional Districts.
In Washington intense interest was
manifested in the election returns. The
results of the various State and Congress
sional district campaigns, to which SO
much attaches in Washington, attracted
thousands to the bulletin boards in front
of the newspaper Offices. The theaters
and clubs received bulletins. The two
Congressional headquarters had special
wires and long distance telephone service
for those who were figuring up the re.
suit of the battle for the control of the
next House of Representatives.
Many Of the cabinet officers and higher
officials of the government had gone home
to vote, and owing to the absence of the
President, who travelled to Ohio to deposit
his ballot, there was not the brilliant gath
ering . political notables at the White
House which has assembled there fire.
quently upon similar occasions in the past.
But the returns were received at the
White House and closely tabulated. The
chief interest, Of course, centered in the
complexion of the next House. Legisla-
ton during the coming two years, sup
port of the administration, and many
hundreds of Offices were involved In the
result, and the returns from the close dis
tricts were eagerly scrutinized by the
Congressional campaign managers of both
committees.
