In Montana the annual loss of cattle, sheep and colts from the timber wolf and the coyote is not less than $250, 900. The loss in Wyoming, also in the east. ern half of the Dakotas and in adjoin- ing states, is on the same scale, so that ranchmen in the great live stock pro- dueing region are out of pocket each year from $500, GOO to $1,000, 900.
 Every remedy against the sneaking, sreacherous brutes has been tried vainly thus far. Montana gives bounty of $3 per wolf scalp. Last season the state paid in bounties $143, 997. The coyote can be poisoned, but the timber wolf is too shrewd for that. He kills his own meat Ranohmen themselves often pay a bounty for the wolf's body and keep the skin. Nevertheless. as many as 20, GOO cattle are lost from tS.is cause in each of several northwestern states.
 Professor Thomas Shaw of the Minne- apolis agricultural experiment. station proposes ill The Breeders Gazette a remedy that would exterminate the dread enemy of the ranchman in few years if it could be applied. He propos- as that fashion take the matter in hand and make wolfskin oyereoats and wolf skin jackets for ladies the vogue. He mentions that the craze among women for wearing birds on their hats is rapid ly destroying the feathered tribe every where, and he does not see why the same thing could not be done in case of She timber wolf. The skin is soft and valuable fur and could be utilized in many ways.

In one of these on his way home once from Eu- rope he came to the conclusion that life wasn't worth living, and he made up his mind to end it all right there by jumping overheard. As he looked over the rail and realized how wet the Wa ter was and how much there was of it he knew that he ought not to go out in it without macintosh.
 "Going below, he discovered that he had neglected to bring one On this oo- casion of all others when he wanted one most he had none. But he couldn't think of encountering the wet inappro- priately clad, and so he deferred jump ing overheard until he could do so in proper form.

Ne and Firing Party 10 BE Hanged if

An incident occurred at Santiago which
a causing much talk among the Cubans
and is liable to create ill-feeling. The Gu
san, Gen Perez, who has a half-dozen times
announced his intention to disband the
Eoop, under his command, but has not yet
done so, recently ordered the trial by court
martial of one of his men on the charge of
deserving from the army in time of war
The prisoner was condemned to death, but
before the sentence was executed notifca-
pon was sent to Col. Ray of the Third i'm
nune regiment, who laid the matter before
len. Wood, commander of the military de-
partment of Santiago. Gen. Perez was at
Snce informed that if the man were exc

hanged as soon as the court could legally
sentence them. He was instructed that if
man committed crime punishable under
The evil law, to turn him over to the
proper authorities, who will look into the
ease; but was told that in no circumstances
will tribunals like those of the present in
sHrgent army be allowed to try cases and
sentence prisoners to death, or even to i'm
prisonment. Furthermore, Perez was no.
Hfed that the man now under sentence of
death must be turned over to the Ameri-

Sugar Trusts Great Coup.
1t Is Said to Have Secured Control of the
Entire Hawaiian Output.

The sugar trust has concluded negotia-
IONS with the Hawaii IL sugar planters to
ontrol the entire sugar crop of the islands,
amounting to $50, 600 tons annually.
The significant feature of the present ne
.otations and the one that created the
most, discussion among the sugar brokers in
Sail street was the monopoly of trade that
the trust obtains by reasons of its latest
coup. By gaining control of practical V all
the raw sugar produced in Hawaii, the
rust will have authority of the markets for
rafned sugars west of the Missouri.
The Arbuckles and the independent re-
ineries, who are now engaged in bitter
srade war against the Havemeyers, will be
forced to abandon the business they have
developed in the West, as none of the raw
sugar arriving on the Pacific coast can be
purchased by them.
The California Beet Sugar Refining com
pany, located at Crockett, Cal, and the
Hawaiian Sugar company, controlled by
Claus Spreckels, are both friendly to the
trust The claim of those identified with the
trust is that by gaining control of the trans
Missouri business they have made an i'm
portant step in their ultimate plan to pos
.ess the entire sugar trade off the United
states.

For Retention of Philippines

RESOLUTION Adopted by the Vermont
Legislature Was In Line with I'm.

Inc most important business done in tho
legislature Friday was the adoption. with
ouC dissenting vote, of the following Joint
resolution: Whereas, the war of tho
OhlVed states against the Kingdom of Snain
was Waged IN the cause of human liberty
ana as the fortunes of war have placed IN
our possession the Philippine Islands with
Cneir millions OF oppressed and misgoverned
people, thereby imposing upon the Ameri-
can nation the duty of protecting and con
lerrlng upon them the blessings of neace
and freedom therefore, be it
hesolVed, by the senate and bouse of
representatives, that in settling terms of
peace with Spain the United States ougbt
TO retain these islands, and that the course
OF President Mckinley in demanding their
retention of Spain in the Paris conference
is heartily approved"
senator Proctor and Gov. Smith. in adj
dresses the previous day, gave expression
to similar sentiments. The senator said.
The United States must assume some
responsibility in the Far East, be it greater
or be 1t less. In my opinion it is bound to
be greater. Many wise citizens advocate
the retention of a coaling station only in
the Philippines, but, if any jurisdiction is
assumed in the islands, there is no logical
stop short of the whole of the Philippines
Since that May morning when Dewey de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet in the harbor of
Manila it has seemed to me that Spain
must abandon her sovereignty in the Phil
ippines' Anything like joint or divided
overnment there would inevitably result
in trouble"

Senator Griffith has been making extern

make it one of the largest in the country.
He has about 70 new ponds and about 100.
600 trout ranging in size from the little
hngerlings TO the six-pound rainbow trout.
Two artesian wells have been sunk, which
are producing 90 gallons of water minute

of grading is to be done.
Most of the party which was present
were members of the fish and game com

The bill which has just passed the legis-
lature allowing breeders of trout to sell
trout which they raise, in February, March
and April, will make it possible for Senator
Griffith and other trout breeders in the
state to market their fish at time when it
will be profitable, and another spring will
probably see large business done at the
