When he was trying to stop the 900
emigrants of the British ship Victoria
from being landed on American soil, L.
$. Consul Jones of Madeira said that
the emigrants were " band of cut
throats," and not fit to be received into
any territory of the United States. This
morning the 343 who arrived here on the
Victoria began leaving the vessel, I'M
der the direction of DR.. Day, Port
Physician, and 1t was the opinion of all
who came in contract with them that
there was more truth than poetry in the
American Consul's words.
They are the hardest lot ever land
ed here" is the opinion of one official
and they are classed as inferior to both
the Chinese and japanese who come
here under labor contracts.
The Victoria is in a condition of indie
scribabe filth and confusion. Pandem-
onium reigns from bow to stern and
the officers and crew breathe sigh of
relief every time they see any of the
"emigrants' depart. The latter come
from Portugal and Spain and their
island dependencies and appear to
be of the lowest class, with some eX-
captions Many of them apparently
would not have dared the trip had they
known that a bath in quarantine sta
ton awaited them at the end.
II shall be glad to get rid of them and
Blake. Certainly the ship needs a
cleaning but we can do nothing as long
as they are all over the deck with their
baggage and women and children. They
have not been very nice company dur
ing the voyage, but are a harmless lot.
| They are eXcitable and noisy, as all
| people of their race are, and of course
we had little quiet. The best time of all
was during the cold weather part of the
! journey. Then they all kept below and
! huddled together to keep warm. If one
| of them stuck his head out it was
quickly withdrawn.
! There was fairly good order during
| the trip. A threat to cut off wine was
enough to terrify most of them and they
had a perfect horror of being put in
| irons. Two of the men got into a fight
| with knives and one was stabbed but
not dangerously and he did not have to
take to his bed. We had the other in
irons for a week. There were one OF
two other fights, but none that amount.

race boxed up together are sure to have

The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods

Their Faith in This Medicine 10
Grounded on Merit
They Know II Absolutely Cures
When other Medicines Fail

Iney NnoW VI ABSOLUTELY ShTo1
When other Medicines Fail
Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely a Sim
pie preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
f5tillingia and little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alternatives, IL
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dsndelion.
1t also contains those great kidney RENEE
dies, IVA Urd, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. other very valuable
curative agents are harmoniously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaperilia, and it IL
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision OF regularly educated phRr-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparilla
matter Of surpriseH You can see why
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds of medicine with
out relief. After taking few bottles OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla she was cured" MRS.

There is considerable move

Times can see, the present law
fixes the very best time for tax.

uary LIST and ends A pril 10Th. This
gives the farmer a chance to get
out his crop, pay off his mortgage
(Which must always come firsD,
and strike a ba lance, with which
he can pay his taxes and buy his
household goods for the, ensuing
year. There is very llttlo cotton
marketed before the middle of
September, and this generally goes
to the mere hant. Whatever SUR

The American people, we believe

The American people, we believe,
as a rule appreciate the magnitude
OF the Nicaragua canal project, and
also the benefits and conveniences
to accrue therefrom. They believe
it to be necessity, and that sooner
or later it must be reality. They
therefore favor % its construction
and (2) government control. There
now seems TO be greater likelihood
of building it than heretofore, and
congress is getting down to horse
sense on the subject. The Arkan-
sas Demo crat says truly and for
chilly: Senator Berry's amend
ment to the Nicaragua canal bill
eliminates the bond feature, makes
a direct appropriations Of S115,-
100000 for the canal and provides
for government ownership and
control of the enterprise. The
Berry amendment proposes the
only sensible, practical and bust
ness-like plan for the enterprise
the plan to secure the canal and to
avoid the peculation, spoliation
and corruption that would come
from government partnership with
g great corporation. The people
have had taste Of these things in
the Pacific railroad bond; schemes,
and they want no more of them"
