Major A. II. Anderson, OF Hot
Springs, $. d. died last week. He
was at one time prominent politi-
clan OF Iowa and REPRESENTED the old
9th Iowa district in Congress. He
was an able lawyer and forcible
speaker, but like many other impa-
tiept and bralny men, became es-
tranged from the republican party
because he failed to receive recogni-
tion as soon as he thought he ought
to-. In 1894 he campaigned this
state for the populists, but in 1896
returned to the republican party.

Admiral Dewey seems to have the
Yankee idea OF turning the grind
stone while he rests over there at
Manila. He has succeeded in rails

de Cuba and Isla de Luson. A force
OF workmen are making them whole.

The next session OF South Dako-
ta's legislature should be an inter
esting one. So far Messrs. Will
marth, OF Huron, and Packard, OF
Redfeld, are announced as candi-
dates for speaker OF the House. AT
ter the Offices have been distributed
the first line up will be to see if the
governor can hold enough to pre-
vent republican twO-thirds, which
will be necessary to pass any bill
over his veto. Among the impOr-
tant questions to experimen twlth
are the state liquor and referendum
amendments. Methods will have to
be adopted for carrying them into
effect. The governor may seek to
obtain power for distributions OF all
new patronage, and the legislature
will probably checkmate him. 1t is
to be hoped and expected the repub-
licnn m&.. ..o@:ty can show Il better
record than the fusionists did two
years ago.

When 4 Shell Strikes.

Army and Navy journal: An ex-
animation of the bottom OF the Ia
diana in dry dock revealed an
elongated, trough-like deut, perhaps
two inches deep, in the plates OF the
starboard bow, about four feet be-
low the waterline, made by IA heavy
she'll falling at the end OF a curved
trajectory that had struck, glanced
and burst. This shows how marvel
Eously our ships escaped injury.
"When this shell struck it made us
all finch, remarked an officer who
was there, dropping his shoulder and
cooking his knees aud shrinking into
rs small a space as his bulk allowed
in illustration OF what he meant.
Y Everybody did it-instinctively, ir-
resistibly turned their heads away
and lifted the right elbow as If to
ward off a blow with club-and
there was a second or two OF awful
waiting, while the roar and the
scream seemed to still all the rest OF
the battle roar and TO come straight
to the ear. Then followed an i'm
measurable roar-a shocking, be-
numbing, binding explosion-anI IL
prodigious fountain OF water burst
up beside the bow and delayed the
forward deck, while the ponderous
ship tearing it's way through the
water with gigantic weight and mo-
mentum, seemed to stop suddenly
and WAS Jared from stem to stern
as If she had run against n stone
wall.
The vessel was promptly examined.
but everything below was found
tight and dry.

Mining Sales.

Last Saturday c. w. Darling, New York capitalist, purchased of parties in Wrangol two groups of mining proper ties, and paid them spot cash for the same.
 The first group he bought of James Brennon, George May and Martin Eli son of ketchikan, for which he paid them S500. The group includes four claims on Boat bay, on the southwest side of Gravina island. The ore was tested in Colorado and found to run 36h per cent in copper and S9 ton in gold.
 The second group he purchased of George Grant of Ketchikan, and it is located on Moira sound, on the east side of Prince of Wales island. The ore carries copper and gold. The vein showed g inches on the croppings. MT. Darling went 300 feet down the hill and made cross-cut, and uncovered a sev en- foot vein. The price was $500.

About the

The Ladrone or Mariana islands, of
which the American cruiser Charleston
took possession On its way to Manila,
have been politically united to the Phil
ippines for over two centuries. Guam.
the largest and southernmost island of
the group. the residence of the governor
general and the one on which the Ameri-
can flag was planted, lies 1000 miles al
most directly east of Luxon, the chief
island of the Philippine group. There
are seventeen islands in the Ladrone
group, they having an area of APO square
miles. The population is l0,l12. The
island of Guam is Ia the direct path Of
steamers from Hawaii to Manila, so that
the American fleet did not have to gu
out of its route in order to stop there.
This fact indicates that Guam may posi-
bly, make q good point for an American
coaling station, provided it has harbors
that can be rendered satisfactory. The
Ladrones are Of volcanic formation ex-
tending 600 miles north from Guam.
The islands were first discovered by
Magellan in 156l, on his voyage around
the globe, and it was his sailors that
gave to them the name of Ladrones, or
islands of the thieves, because of the
thievinR ~propensities of the inhabitants.
Since lG6o, the date Of the Spanish sub
jugation, the group has been officially
known rs the Mariana islands, SO named
in honor of Maria Anna OF Austria, Wild
ow of King Philip " Of Spain.
The climate of the Ladrones, though
humid, is salubr.ous. The heat, being
tempered by the trade winds, is milder
than in the Philippines. The yearly
mean temperature at Guam is about 81
degrees Fahrenheit. August and Sep
TENDER are the warmest months, but the
variations Of temperature are not great.
Among the useful vegetable products
are areca and %cocoanut palms, rice,
maize, sugar, tobacco, cotton, indigo,
bread fruit, bananas, castor beans. Ia
consequence of the laziness of the native
population agriculture is almost entirely
neglected, despite the exceptional ad-
vaItages offered by climate and soil.
