A Greek Colony In Corsica.

At Cargese we have the remarkable
spectacle Of Greek population with
it's own church settled down on the
coast of Corsica. Our inn is kept by
Greek from Corfu, as his name, Cor
fotti, tells US and as the loquacity of
his wife would lead US to infer; for at
Cargese the Corsican taciturnity has
given place to the Hellenic love of talk.
Rather more than two centuries ago a
Greek settlement was founded in Cor
sica under the auspices of the Genoese
republic, to which the island at that
time belonged, and when the French
came into possession of the country they
established the Hellenic exiles, who had
meanwhile founded the Chapelle des
Grecs just outside Ajaccio at Cargese
and built them the church which they
have ever since cherished.
Intermarriages between the colonists
and the natives, at first rare, have now
become frequent, and it is to be feared
that the Greek language will soon be-
come as extinct there as the fustanella.
But with that wonderful tenacity
which it shows in modern Greece in
spite of centuries of barbarian inroads
and Turkish oppression, the Greek type
is sure to remain at Cargese to remind
the traveller of its eternal youth and it's
unfailing characteristics -Westmins-

Lieutenant Cashier Reaches Dawson

LleuCenant Castner heacheS dawson.
SEATTLE. Feb. 20.-Advices received
from Dawson say that Lieutenant Cast
ner, of the Fourth United States in
fantry, who started almost a year ago
from the southern coast of Alaska to
explore the interior and find, if possible,
an all American trail to the Yukon, has
arrived there. Finding the trail they
had believed to exist impracticable,
Lieutenant Cashier and two companions
started to reach civilization. They put
they put their provisions, guns, etc., on
a raft and set it afloat on the Tanana
river. The raft was wrecked the second
day. All that was saved was coil of
rope. With the rope another raft was
built and for six days che three men
fiated down the river, living on berries.
Just as hope was almost gone, the party
drifted into an encampment of Tamana
indians. Here they were Hospitality
and were guided to camp of white
men 100 miles up the stream, where the
party rested until boat could take them
to Yukon. Lieutenant Cashier found
all maps to be incorrect. The heuten-
aut says that that there is feasible
route for trail or railway from the
coast to point on the Y1kon river be-

HAVANA, Feb. 22.-General Gomez
reception at Matanzas last night was
the most enthusiastic of his entire jour-

ceptions increase in fervor. At Matan-
zas, the last stop before Havana is
reached, an immense crowd had assem-
bled at the railroad station. When the
general alighted from the train he spent
20 minutes embracing old and new
friends and then mounted a horse and
proceeded to the city. The street lead
ing from the station to the principal
square was lined on both sides with SOL
diers of the Eighth Massachusetts, regi-

President Makes an Address Before the
Massachusetts Legislature.
Boston, Feb. 18.-The last day Of
President McKinley's visit to Boston
was spent in one continual round Of
pleasure and the different events which
were crowded into the few remaining
hours followed each other with bewil-
dering rapidity. The president break
tasted at o'clock and at 10 o'clock was
ell route to fremont temple where he
spoke to the members of the Massachu-
sets department of the G. A. r. who
were assembled in annual convention.
Immediately following this, carriages
were taken for the state house, where
the president visited the legislature in
joint session and made an inspiring
address. Here also Secretary Long
created much amusement by his witt
cisms.
After short reception the presiden-
tial party was taken on o tour through
the subway and thence to the Algonquin
club, where breakfast was rendered
to the gentlemen by the members OF
the Commercial club.
At 1850 the party was taken to the
south terminal station, and they left
for Washington on their special train
at 5:l0. Ferdinand Peck, commission
er of the United States to the Paris ex-
position, with his wife, accompanied
the president as far as New York. The
president left in excellent health and
expressed himself as having enjoyed
every moment of his trip.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20.-No men
ever more heartily welcomed the ap-
preaching close of contest than the
dozen remaining contestants in the in
ternatlonal six day race at Mechanics
pavilion, when they entered upon the
last half dozen hours of a remarkable
test of endurance. Nothing but the
nearness of the finish and the stimulus
of a cheering crowd could have kept the
men at their task. Human endurance
had reached the point where reason de-
serts the body and total collaps was i'm.
minent.
Miller deserves his victory and his
record will probably stand for years to
come. No previous contest has been SO
stubbornly contested from start to fin
ish, and no similar number of men
have shown such wonderful pluck and
endurance.
The six-day race was ended at 1915
last night, 80 minutes ahead Of time. Tt
was obvious that the men could not
change their relative positions by riding
longer, and the management concluded
to call the race at an END instead of rid
ing through until 1854. The contest
ants were all on the track except Gimm,
who retired at s p. m. and did not
return. At 9'54 all the riders retired
for a few minutes and returned long
enough only to make a showing. Final
score was as follows: Miller, 2, 1872 miles;
Aaronson, 2,142; Fredericks, 2090.2;
Hale, 2,062; Gimm. 1000; Nawn, 2,012.2;

COMPLAIN OF CANNED MEAT.

Army Officers Testify That Refrigerated
Beef Is Generally Acceptable.
WASHINGTON, Feb 22.--The court of
inquiry engaged in investigating the
beef charges preferred by General Miles
continued yesterday the hearing of tes-
timony bearing upon the controversy.
A number of army officers who partici-
pated i'll the Santiago campaign were
heard. Practically without exception
the officers condemned the canned
roast beef furnished as q travel ration
and reviewed complaints about it which
the men very generally made, declaring
it unpalatable and wanting in nutri-
ment. On the other hand, the refrig-
Grated beef suffered but little at the
hands of yesterdays witnesses, it being
generally conceded that it was good
when delivered from the transports and
when it escaped the decomposing effect
of the tropical sun en- route to the sew
eral commands it was found to be salts
factory. General commissary methods
in Cuba were inquired into. Difficulty
in preventing faint before cooking was
experienced generally. There was very
little in the evidence pointing to any
use of chemicals upon this beef.
The contention of General Miles that
the army in Cuba and Porto Rico should
have been supplied with herds of cattle,
or beef on the hoof, instead of refriger-
ated beef, was supported by every wit
ness who gave his opinion upon this
question. A number of officers testified
to the belief that a very small proper
ton of sickness in Cuba was due to the
beef or unwholesome rations, but rather
to the climate. Early next week the
court will leave for Chicago and other
western meat centers, where they will
Inspect the packing houses of the firms
which furnished beef to the army. A
thorough study of the methods employed
in furnishing canned roast beef and
other meats will be examined. and wit
nesses will be examined in the different
cities.
