Thus 1t was in Peter's case And now he had won a distinction which would fol- low him through all camps-he was Ash croft's first mayor.
 The first few months Peter dignified the office with his presence were filled with hard work and considerable risk Threats meant for the mayors ears always reached them, but his duty he said, was located and patented, and he intended working it out, and he did. It was not the gambler he was after, for cards and tables were necessities, and the banker was obliged to be straight, but it was the bad man who hastened into camp on his mission of hold up, claim jumping, crookedness, and gen- eral damn meanness that Pete looked for and found. So 1t was that the first few months were busy ones, but this work brought its reward, for some of the bad men left--a few were buried outside of town-and Pete won wide reputation for being uncomfortably quick with his gun and nasty in temper when executing the high duty the citizens of Ashcroft had imposed upon him.
 Finally office duties slackened and Pete had time for thought. His thoughts cen- tered upon subject which made him look slightly i'll at ease. They were thoughts without verbal outlet. Pete had no con- fidants. The mayor of Ashcroft was in love and engaged to be married. Yet for Q year he had lived in this little mining camp and no one had known a word of his secret. No one ever heard Pete reveal

anything about his private affairs or his family and no one ever dared ask ques- tion.
 This mining etiquette-it saves trouble and prejudiee-and Is one item of an un- written code of social mining laws worthy of study and adoption outside of camp.
 The thought that troubled Pete most. now that he had time to dwell on it, was how to get out of camp without revealing his mission--that of being married. It was a mattetr close to Pete's heart, too close to be commented upon by Ashcroft. Then there was another reason for si- lence, he knew the boys would give him send-off and he wished to avoid it, for he was a modest man and hated fuss and show.
 He could well afford to marry, for though he was not rich he had had fairly good luck. His claims Paradox" and Pros pect" were in his name aione-not third nor sixteenth interest belonged to any one else. Not that he was close, but min ing was a principle with Lonergan, and a partner sometimes interferes with princi- ples, so even though a cash interest might have aided the development of his claims and forded him at times over bad places, he chose to remain comparatively poor or uncertainty rich.
 One night while standing at the hotel bar, talk drifted from paying shippers and new strikes to the last bad man who had been in camp. This was Pete's charce. Downing his three fingers with an expe- rienced gulp he turned to the crowd and said: "Boys, there's Q damn bad man leaving this town tomorrow and it's my purpose to follow that vein if I go to Mis- souri for it." and there he stopped for 1t was a long sentence for the mayor.
 A few of Ashcorft's citizens stood in front of the saloon the next morning, and remembering the mayors remark the night

With every disposition on the part OF

To maintain the army of 200, 900 men

c)rding to estimates prepared by Pay
master General Stanton, and the lead
ing officials are beginning to fear that
nostilities may run along beyond
that period The reason is the grow
ing conviction on the part of some of

reckon Oh any substantial assist

campaign and must meet the Spsniards
n Cuba IN their strongest sphere, that
of the defensive.
General Mil is quoted on the sub
iect of the Cuban invasion as having
said to friend:
1.-The army is not now in shape for
the invasion of Cuba, and great deal
of hard work will be necessary before
it can be put in proper condition for
such campaign. 1t lacks discipline.
and, in fact, is deficient in little OF
everything that enters into the proper

magnificent army was never collected
together, but more than that is required
for effective operations in hostile

tone of his conversation that several

HON. WIN. L WILSON ON THE
NEW IMPERIAL POLICY.


Hon. William L. Wilson, president
of Washington and Lee University, in
his weekly address on Saturday
morning before the students of the
university, spoke upon the develop
ments brought forth by the prel-
ut war between the United States
md Spain. He said that Ameri-
cas- pride had naturally been aroused
With the victory at Mauila, but in the
sn it might produce disastrous results
10 the we'll being of our country. This
victory had brought this country face
10 face with the great Eastern question,
which had been the leading question
tor over half a century in European
politics, and had been the direct cause
fseveral wals.
Mr.. Wilson called attention to the
fact that at even at this stage por-
iou of the press aud people were auvo.
eating the retention of the Philippine
Islands by the Uaited S ates, and
,onted out the dangers which would
the course of events result from
'uCu COuiSSf HHtCu HOuiu oS
4 radical departure from the past
,oicy OF the government, and the ed
ice which was contained in George
Vushingtons farewell address. He
,aid that the vast complications which
would result from this eastern question,
n which We are urged at present to
{ ke part, had caused the nations OF
Elrope tc keep large standing armies
d, d buill large navies, thus steadily in
creasing debts and taxation, while the
Conservative policy of America had en-
4bled the development of a good gov
ernment, with sound laws add light
taxation.
President Wilson expressed the opin
ion that the best course for US was to
follow the teachings of the republics
fathers, rather than the course pursued
ny the jngoes and yellow journals OF
The present, to strictly adhere to- our
past policies, and rely upon justice and
the worlds respect for our position,
rather than upon large army aud ex-
pensive navy and ingo policy.

NEW YORK. Feb. s.-The stock market sue London's indifference to the fears reflected by the United States and Spain. The strength of American securities in London was partly accounted for by the process of the periodical Prices were bid up sharply there before the opening here and resulted in sympathetic rise in international securities at the opening. Not only was this the case, but when heayi- ness developed here London was a liberal buyer at the decline and was very important factor in sustaining prices during the forenoon ses- sion. Americans were in demand In other for eign bourses and from Frankfort comes the report that they were the features and the sustaining force of the market Denver and Rio Gran6e preferred was the favorite with London and 1t was able to hold a substantiat gain to the close, a conspicuous exception in this respect. Early weakness developed in the Union Pacific stocks and Norfolk and West ern preferred was keenly affected by profit talk ing. The early weakness of the market had been to a large extent caused by the strength in special stocks when the news was received Of the resolutions proposing intervention In Cuba which were introduced in the Senate. resulted in the most severe shaking out since the Maine sent to Havana.
