the tops Of the shocks tied tightly to-

from falling over and to keep out the
rain. Some farmers prefer to feed the
corn and stalks together without husk-
ing, as the stock will eat the corn slowly
and the stalks and leaves will furnish
the necessary roughness to make a de-
sirable ration. This method Of feeding
also saves the expense Of husking the

44s...EsHE. -PEACE-,TREATY.
A synopsis of the Famous Document
as Telegraphed from the Span
ish Capital. -t?.--.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-In an apparently
authentic form the text of the peace
treaty concluded ten days ago between
Spain and the United States has been
made public. Coming, as it does, from
Madrid, there is reason to believe that
it is genuine. The 17~artic1es in which
it is comprised do not differ material
ly from the summary given out about
the time the negotia tions were brought
to an end.
The first three articles are devoted
to remuneration of Spanish sovereign
ty' over the island Of Cuba and the d.
rect cession of the islands of Porto
Rico, Guam and the Philippines to the
United States. The article relating to
the latter defines the boundaries of the
archipelago by parallels of latitude and
meridians of Longitude, as well as
names the compensation of $2O,000,0OO
to be paid to Spain by the United States
within three months after the exchange
of notifications.
The succeeding articles from the
fourth to the eighth, inclusive, secure to
Spanish vessels and merchandise for
ter years the same rights of admission
t. the ports of the Philippines enjoyed
by those of the United States. They
also provide for the return to Spain of
the soldiers captured at Manila at the
expense of the United States, and con-
cede: to Spain the right to retain the
flags and stands of colors on vessels of
war, together with the small arms,
ordnance and other munitions of war
belonging to the landforces in the Phil
ippines and not captured at the close of
hcstilities. They further provide for
the mutual release of prisoners of war
held by both nations, and mutually re-
nounce all claims for national or pri-
,yate indemnity in consequence of the
late war, as also the title to all govern
ment property coded by the treaty.
. The remaining articles are devoted
chiefly to stipulations protecting the
personal and property rights of Span
ish subjects remaining in the islands,
assurance of freedom in religious mat
tiers, and the regulation of procedure in
the courts. The obligation entered into
ny the OnlleQ olateS WITH respect ID
Cuba is Limited, however, to the period
Of actual occupation Of the island
For the exchange of notifications of
the treaty six months from the date of
affixing the signatures of the members
of the joint peace commission to the
document are. assigned. This leaves
until June II, $780,. for final action by
the United States senate and the Span
ish congress respectively.

MARINE LOSSES.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Marine losses dur
ing the season of 1898 were much great
er than during any previous season on
the lakes. On the total losses, no two
underwriters will make an estimate
within $500000 of each other. The gem
eral average places the aggregate loss
at 100000. Vesselmen protest that
these figures are too high, and say the
insurance companies do not lose heav
lily. Lake Michigan has been the
scene of the greatest number of serious
losses, with Lake Superior as second.

WAKE ISLAND.
Uncle Sam Will Take Possession Of
1t for Use as 4 Station for

Washington, Dec. 24..--The govern
ment has determined to hoist the flag
over another island far out ins the Pa

late Friday afternoon to the commander
of the Bennington, Capt. Taussig, to
proceed at once to take possession in
the name of the United States,govern-
ment of Wake island. lying in latitude
10 north, longitude 1G6 east. 1t is dis
tant about 1000 miles from Nihau, the
westernmost of the Hawaiian islands
land 1900 miles east from Guam. 1t is
almost in q direct line between these
possessions of the United States and is
admirably adapted for use as station
for a Pacific cable to connect the Phil
ippines with Hawaii and the United
States. It is about three miles in
length and incloses a lagoon of salt
water The average height Of the is
land is eight feet above high tide. It
is scarcely capable in itself, 81. sustain
ing life, but it is expected that cable
station can be maintained without diff
,ficulty by the erection of a condenser
to supply fresh water. Some station
in this locality is deemed to be absolute
ly necessary to the maintenance of
cable. and for that reason the American
peace commissioners at Paris endeav-
ored to secure one of the Caroline is
lands, but without success. Wake is

HEIR TO ITALY'S THRONE.
The Nevly-Born SON Of the Duke of
AOsta Is a Likely Successor
in the Line.

Another prince has just been added
to the already large male element in
the house Of Savoy, which for half a GEN.
tury-thatais to say, from the birth OF
Queen Margherita-has had no daugh-
the duke of Genoa, also called Mar
gherita, born in 1896. The prince is an
important addition to the family, as he
will, if~the present order Of things con-
tinue, one day. sit on the throne Of
Italy. He is the first child of Prince
Emanuel, duke of Aosta,E who, three
years ago, married at Kingston Princess
Helene of Orleans. AS the duke and
duchess of Aosta had been married
relatively long time without children,
and as it is asserted that the crown
prince, married two years ago, may
never have issue, the enemies Of the
house of Savoy, especially the clericals,
had diligently spread the idea that the
want of direct heir after the prince of
Naples was tie curse of God for the
"usurpation" of the papal state.
It is known that certain anxiety was
really felt in the royal family itself,
and his relatives were busychoosing
wife for the count of Turin, the next
brother to the duke of Aosta. The little
prince who has just entered this world,
has, however, put his rosy little foot
down on the prospects, which thus lose
their pressing Importance. Another
lease of bachelorhood, too, is given to
the count of Turin, which he is popular
" supposed to- prize highly.
The duke of Aosta, to whose branch
Of the family the Italian throne will
pass should the prince Of Naples die
without an heir, is the son of Prince
Amadeo, that brother of King Humbert
who died when only 45, and about whom
the king in the depth of his; grief eS-
claimed: 81 have lost my best friend!"
His mother was princess of:the noble
house of Della Cisterna, and not, there
fore, of royal birth. but such was her
cleverness and superiority that she took
her place with great dignity and grace
as daughter-in-law and sister-in-law of
kings, and as queen herself: when for
five years her husband sat i On the
throne of Spain. In Madrid she con-
tracted the disease which killed her,
enc year later, at the age of 20. Eng
lishmen will certainly not forget the
sensation caused by the second mar
rage of Prince Amadeo with his niece,
the beautiful Princess Letitia Bona
parte, daughter of his sister Princess
Caltilde and the celebrated "PlOn
Plon."-Pall Mall Gazette.
