proving very advantageous to the settlers
OF North Alberta, Canada, and is truly a
boon to the farmers, is the establishment Of
creameries by the Government at regular dis
tances apart. The Government furnishes
the entire plant, puts it in and operates it
without direct cost to the farmer From
the sale of the butter the Government re-
talns. cents per pound, the balance going to
the farmer. This is continued for three
years when the Government turns over the
plant and business to the farmers, giving
them clear title of it. Thus these creamer-
les are put IN at minimum cost to the farm
er and paid for in way that he least feels it.
When we were there butter was selling at
Il and % cents per pound. Cheese factories
were being established, too, along the rail-
road and much of the freight loaded on the
cars on our return trip consisted of butter
and cheese, as it was in the best season for
milk. The produce found ready market in
the mining and numbering towns and dis
tricts beyond the Rockies, through the Brit
ish Columbia country, where it was, we
were told, difficult to supply the demand"

to the Western Canadian farmer for all
produce of the farm, and the officials in the

HEARD THE CRUEL
TALK OF SPANIARDS.
Just Before the Maine Disaster One
Fiend Said the Sailors Would
Soon Be in He'll.


NEW YORK. March IA Ports
Walter ]. Holland, representing a firm
of commission merchants at Chicago,
was in Portsmouth to-day Knowing
that for several years past he Travelled
in Spanish-speaking countries a CORE
spondent sought him out, and was in
formed that he was in Havana on the
night of February Is, and from the
dock witnessed the explosion of the
Maine. Holland said:
Just before the awful dull roar fol-
lowed by two sharp detonations 1 heard
two minutes all of the Names crew
will be in hell The scoffng and laugh
ing among the rabble while our poor
sailors were struggling in the water
was horrible to my ears. The next
morning / heard a burly Spaniard
curse at an American lady, but to
have interfered would have precipi-
tated trouble of perhaps a serious ma
ture The Maine disaster ended my
trade in Havana, my old patrons re-
fuSing to patronize an American
house"
Mr.. Holland is satisfied from the re-
mark he had heard and the air of ex-
pectancy that seemed to surround
many Spaniards that they were not
surprised by the destruction of the
Maine and really expected it. He took
the Washington steamer last night He
positively refused to state the nature
of his business at the nations capital,
or to say whether he would see the
President or Secretary of the Navy. He
speaks Spanish fluently.

WAR MESSAGES SENT
UP INTO THE SKY.
Rockets, Parachutes of Fire and
Colored Lights Used in Sue
cessful Signaling.

NEW YORK. March War signals
flashed over this city last night. Rock
cts, parachuteS of fire and colored
lights wrote war messages on the dark
background Of the sky. Only to those
initiated were the messages known. A
vast majority who saw the rockets go
up and colored lights float over East
River thought they were merely wit
Messing an interesting exhibition of
fireworks.
The signals were sent up from the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the mes
sages they conveyed were read with
| ease three miles away. 1t was the first
experiment with a new code of signals
between ships of war. The present
system consisted of the use of three
arc lamps on the mast of warship,
and a mile off these lights blend to-
gether and render the signals useless.
Therefore a new system was devised.
An order was recently received at the
navy yard to have experiments made
at once in view of the present compli-
cations.
Henry J. Paine, fireworks maunfac-
turer, seven assistants and a party of
naval officers consisting of Commander
| w. s. Sherry, Commander w. Swift of
the Bureau of Ordnance, and Lieuten-
ant Dougherty began them last night.
Bombs were sent up near the stone
drydock. Each bomb, on going to a
certain height, burst into a parachute
with a string of colored lights hanging
in the air beneath it. These lights
conveyed message. Commander
Swift, on Blackwells Island, three miles
off, and Lieutenant Dougherty, in Will
liamsburg, read the message without
difficulty. Message after message was
sent up, the lights and their positions
varying with each one. -.

aster criminal, we shall have to hear
the opinion of the Spanish commission.
We remain firm in the belief that the
Yankee commission will not find the
explosion due to exterraneous causes
and in case of a doubtful verdict, we
feel sure President Mckinley would not
wage war against Spain in the face of
a European verdict to the contrary and
that of the sensible portion Of the
American people.

powder; $4,000 for erection of build
ings on Government ground for the
manufacture of smokeless powder, with
the necessary machinery and equip
ment, and 100000 for arming and equip
ping the naval militia. The latter item
is an increase of $4,000 over the esti-
mates of Secretary Long, and provides
for the arms, accouterments, signal
outfits, boats and their equipments and
the printing of the necessary books of
instruction for the naval militia of the
several States. under the Naval De-
nartment regulations. The item for
the purchase of smokeless powder is
identical with the estimate. Several
other items of less Importance also
were passed on.

this bill is reported to the House it will
carry the provision for additional en-

Should the Secretary of the Navy in

Sewed His Lips Together.

One of the queerest freaks, even for
an insane person, was discovered at the
State insane asylum at Columbus. Ohio.
Alex. Myatt. a middle-aged patient in
the institution, has always complained
of the food furnished by the State, and
has threatened to starve himself to
death rather than eat 1t, but as the
food was all right the attendants con-
sidered Myatt's complainings as the
workings of an affected brain. One
morning last week. however, when he
was called to breakfast, he shook his
head to indicate to the attendant that
he desired nothing to eat, and that
functlonary, suppoeing he had lost his
appetite through sickness, sent one OF
the hospital physicians to him. The
doctor was astonished on his arrival to
find that Myatt had sewed his lips to-
-ether so that he could not open them
IN the least The work had been done
with a needle and thread stolen from
an attt tnLant, and had been done very
thoroughly. many stitches having been
taken. The physicians removed the
stitches and Myatt is being fed on milk
and brandy for a while, his hps being
too sore from thei- laceration to per-
NIT of his eating solid food. If blood
poisoning does not set in, he will proba-
