Porto Rican Relief.

New York, Sept. 27.-Rev. H. p. Nc
Cormick, one of the government inspec-
tors of charities in Porto Rico, has writ
ten a letter to Gen. T. J. Morgan corles-
ponding secretary of the American Hap-
fist Home Mission society, in which con-
ditions in Porto Rico and the relief work
carried on after the hurricane, are des-
cribed at length. He says that the num-
Der of persons needing help rose to $50, :
900 and that the greater number of those
lived in the mountains ana inaccessible
places. Great difficulty was experienced
in reaching the needy IN account of a
lack OF intelligent practical cooperation
on the part of the alcaldes of the dis
tricts. DR.. Mccormick describes the diff
ficulties at length. but says that efforts
have been made to reach as many as pos
sible of the alcaldes on horse back and
by boat. The work in general includes
the organizing of local relief ~juntas. both
male and female, the correcting of
abuses and tine suggesting of improve
ments. The writer says that II the people
of the island were permitted to sell their
coffee, sugar and tobacco in the United
States their suffering would DO consid-
erably lessened.

TO BE MUSTERED OUT.
cratic party,

1t has been officially announced that
the Montana volunteers will be mustered
out on October II. AS soon as possible
after that date the special train bearing
them from San Francisco to Butte will
be gotten under Roadway, and a few
days later the celebration in honor of
their return will take place. Until the
time is set for this train to leave the
coast city, the date of its arrival here
cannot be definitely determined, and for
the present the day for the welcome of
he homecoming soldiers cannot be
named. In all probability the contem-
plated programme will be observed
about the 21st Of the month. It does not
seem likely that an earlier date will be
among the possibilities.
With a definite time fixed for the cere,
mony of mastering the boys out of the
service, however. the committee on ar
engagements have comparatively cleal
sailing in perfecting plans for their re.
ception. The volunteers are a unit il
favor of returning in a body, and it i:
to be hoped they will be permitted t,
carry their guns in the parade-a prece
dent established in the case Of the Min
nesota troops.

n MORSE MARKET.

It has been freely predicted that the
Of extinguishing the modern horse. which
was some years since undertaken by the
bicycle. No doubt there are many who
believe that a horseless era is about to
dawn upon the world, and that the AN
merry awaits the succulent equine whose
earthly work is Ger. Recent events,
however, have a tendency to check that
popular idea.
War is one Of those conditions which
upset human calculations in more ways
than one 1t has administered a check
TO the pneumatic tire enthusiasts. WHO
have been picturing the extinction of
mans indispensable four-legged servant
and friend. The horse market, suffering
from what has appeared to be a case of
into newness Of life when the govern
ment decided to use cavalry IN the Phil
lppines, and it now takes on a great deal
of its old-time activity with orders hat
come from Great Britain for animals
that can be used in the prospective con-
test in the Transvaal.
The Inter Mountains advices today in
dictate a healthy demand for good horses,
at prices ranging from $40 to SIPS per
head. England wants a large number
at these prices, and men who have them
for sale will reap a harvest. While the
Montana cayuse may not answer the
purpose Of England, on account Of a
lack of knowledge of their wonderful
strength and endurance. and the fact
much admired in military circles, they
be made TO supply the demand for
farm animals when properly introduced.
Before the requirements Of the British
are fully met the better class Of horses
IN the eastern and middle states will
have been sold, and their places must be
taken On the farm BY importations from
the west.
Thus, the foreign demand for horses is
likely to stimulate the market all along
the line. The old saying holds good
that which is one mans meat Is. !anotier
mans poison. AS General sherman ence
said, WAR is hell but while mankind
see fit to indulge such expensive luAu-
ries, supplies must be furnished the COM
batants and their gold will stimulate the
markets of the world. If the American
horse market can profit from foreign con-
troversies, no one will raise any sbbtec-
ton to the orders placed in this country
for horses-unless the prosperity which
such sales may bring places still another
muzzle on the calamity cry of the demo-
cratic party. ,a.t I'll

p~ansion. sentimentally dubbed "anti-im-
perialisn." the Inter Mountain is politi-
cally consistent in every respect. AS po-
litics run. it is quite natural for a paper
like the Butte Miner. which repudla1ed
the policy that was adopted by its party
in 1896 as the only way in which success
could ultimately be attained for the free
coinage cause. to raise the question OF
consistency. If the Inter Mountains
memory is not at fault the Miner also
raised the question of honesty in politics,
and declared itself unreservedly in favor
of purity. just before the late democratic
legislature undertook the work Of elect
ing Senator Clark.
Then, again. the Miner has seen fit to
administer a number of rather severe
~left-handed blows to Governor Smith,
and TO indicate that his excellency is an
all-around failure, though it gave him its
most loyal support in 1895. Instead of 60
ing back on the democratic party since
his election. the governor mas uoAe every
thing in a political way that lay within
his power to prove that he is a lineal
he opposed the senatorial aspirations of
Mr.. Clark. but why should such a little
thing as that tempt the Miner into such
an inconsistency as the withdrawing of
its suppo in 1899 from a man whom it
supported in 1896? While the question Of
inconsistency is before the public. the
Miner has the floor and its explanation
will be a~nNiously awaited.

The vines, in luxuriance, bordered
the pathway as we assembled, and 4 is
said that for years after the wine has
been taken from these isles to England.
or elsewhere it always ferments and
becomes agitated when the wineries
from whence it came are in bloom; but
this tale may perhaps be as true as
the accounts Of these mighty ruins
which Pliny AYERS once covered all the
Fortunate islands, but of which no
trace remains now
Tom Lambourne and l, after ram
Bile of some hours, found ourselves in
a wild and solitary place, where blocks
Of lava and heaps of yellow pumice
dust were lying among shattered
masses Of basalt, which were studded
with spars and crystals that glittered
as the sunshine streamed through
ravine upon them
The sides Of the ravine were clothed
with rich copsewood and little thickets
of the retama- blanca, which there
grows about ten feet high. and is COW
cred with tufts of odoriferous fow-
ers.
The distant sea, the waves of which
seemed to bask or sleep in the sun
shine, closed the perspective of this ra-
vine; and there we could see the Eu-
genie at anchor, with her snow white
courses loose and her other canvas
neatly handled.
Being warmed by our walk, we sat
tuftb q, o
natural grotto, formed by masses of
lava ana basalt, which in some past
age the throes of the volcano had
thrown and heaped together There a
clear spring gurgled joyously from a
assure in the rocks; and now, opening
the courier bag, we proceeded to make
our breakfast on the viands | had
brought from the ship-to wit, bologna
sausage and biscuits, with brandy and
water
The air was deliclously clear. and
over the brow of the rocky chasm in
which we sat, there fell natural
screen of all the wild Indian fig and
vine creepers, and these shaded us from
the increasing heat Of the morning
sun.
All was still there.
We heard only the coo OF the great
wood pigeons among the gorgeous foIi-
age. or the sweet notes of the little
golden colored canary birds, as they
twittered about us when we scared
them from their nests, which they
usually build in the barrancas or wat
er-eourses, such being the coolest
places in that volcanic isle.
