West Coast Of Vancouver Uttered

Ship. ~ Eas T.
\ Victoria, B. c., Feb. 1.-The steamer
Queen City has reached here from the
west coast Of Vancouver island, bring
1 ing the news that the Siwash Indians
claim to have seen a large vessel which
had foated on the rocks. There was
no means Of identifying the vessel,
the name board being quite obliterat-
ed. Some cases of fish, Life buoys,
planking bulWarks and portions of the
ships deck house were also found by
I the Indians, but furnished no clue as
to the identity Of the vessel. The cap
tain of the Queen City says the coast
from Quabine to Cape Scott is Uttered
with wreckage, but the water was too
thick and stormy to allow inyestiga-
ton Theories are that the wreck may
be the Conradoe, ITO days, out from
Kobe, for Tacoma, or the Celtic, 12O
B days out from Hongkong, for Victoria.
It is possible that the Wreckage may
have bedrifted from the wrecked
steamer Protection or the long over
due sealing schooner Pioneer.

FAMILIES ARE HOMELESS.
GEN. BROOKE REMAINS.

No Intention of Supplanting Him
With Gen. Wood. -. =:
\ Washington, Feb. /. - Careful in
quiry at the war department discloses
the fact that the president has taken
no action toward supplanting Gen.
Brooke by Gen. Wood as governor gen
eral Of Cuba, and there is also good
ground for the statement that he has
no such Intention. Gen. Woods splen-
did administration of civic affairs in
Cuba has earned the admiration Of
the place, but it is impracticable to
place him in command Of the whole
island for that would involve the relief
from duty there of all officers, includ-
ing Gen. Brooke. Gen. Lee and Gen.
{ Ludlow, who claim seniority over Gen.
Wood. This would amount to the
degradation Of these officers notwith-
standing the excellent service they
have rendered, and there is not the
least disposition on the part of the
president to do them this injustice.

brought into court yesterday to hear
arguments on motions preliminary to-

raignment Of Mrs. George will follow
at once. It's thought there will then
be no more preliminary motions and
that the trial will proceed. Attorneys
for Mrs. George will. endeavor to es-

a witness who will testify to having
stood on bridge near the scene Of the

has been sentenced to dismissal from

recommendation from the court for
the exercise Of executive clemency.
Under the regulations the court has
reached the conclusion that the ac

dismissal from office. Therefore, the
only hope for Gen. Eagan is in the di-

debate was precipitated in the senate
while the diplomatic and consular APP
preparation bill was under considera-
ton. The appropriations committee
was sharply criticised for not provid-
ing adequate salaries for some of the
consular officers and secretaries of le-
cations of this government in foreign
countries, and the parsimony Of the
government in this respect was de-.
nounced as a disgrace. Mr.. Hale OF

Column to the left signifies the

column No. 2.
Average age of graduates 16 years.
OF these above 60 per cent Is years.
OF these below 60 per cent 13t years
The questions in grammar, spelling,
reading and geography considered
much harder than last year, and the
grades in the first two branches are
much below the required average in
several cases being enough to prevent
applicant from passing. These are
the neglected branches.
A committee of nine teachers first
and second grade passed on the pa
pers, and in no case was the grade
changed after being handed in nor
could any member of the committee
know by any possible means whose
papers they were grading had they
known a single manuscript they could
have affected but one subject so the
fairness of all grades is beyond the
matter of doubt.
Those above so per cent will pass
readily next year, and if all try, a
class of twenty graduates will be the
crop. Let us look forward to that,
and feel that your diploma will be an
honor equal in standing and merit to
those in all parts of our grand state.

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
April 26, 1899. {
This weeks cattle market has been
very unsatisfactory. While we had
light receipts the first of the week,
Chicago had more cattle than they
needed, especially OF the kinds weigh
ing 1850 pounds and over, and we fear
they will show some further decline.
Light and medium weight steers are
wanted at prices ranging from S4.65
to So. While the best heavy steers
are bringing $50 to %, this is not
enough spread, when the cost of pro-
duction is considered, but the unal-
teFable law of supply and demand
governs prices, and heavy cattle are
in poor request both at home and
abroad. We look for well fatted
steers weighing 900 to 115O pounds to
hold steady or sell little higher
There is an increased demand for
well fatted cows and heifers. They
seem to be scarce in the country and
will, we think, command some higher
prices during the next thirty days
Light stock heiferS have not sold as
high at any time this winter as at the
present. Strictly good ones weighing
$50 to 600 pounds are bringing 81. so t.
rs. We sold drove of high grade
white faced heifers weighing 497 lbs
at $50 per head this week.
StOckers and feeders continue to
bring dangerously high prices and the
heaviest shippers claim that good
ones were never so scarce in the coun-
try.
There is not much change in the
hog market. Receipts were much
heavier the first days of the week
than was expected and aside from a
10 cent decline on Monday, fluctua.
tions from day to day are Slight
There has been few sorted heavy
hogs bought for the City of Mexico as
high as 1885; outside of that 80 cents
was top.
