A Bear In the Cabin.

Two German prospectors who live in a
dug out on Divide creek near Salmon
entertained bear to Thanksgiving din
ner. These men had made elaborate
preparations for feast and then went
out to their separate prospects to work
up an APPETITE. Fred returned to the
dngout rather early but as he approached
he heard great rafting among the
cooking utensils, so he said to himself
II make shoke on Sharley." He ac-
cordingly sat behind friendly rock
point and waited patiently for Sharley to
prepare the meal. He finally thought
Sharley had got hold of the liquor and
got drunk, the frying pans and kettles
were dancing around so furiously. He
slipped up 10 the dug out raised the can
vas flap that did duty as a door, and
instead of seeing Sharley he saw a big
black bear cleaning up the last batch of
cooked stuff that was to make up their
Thanksgiving dinner. Fred returned in
time to meet Sharley as he came down
the mountain tired and hungry. They
held hasty counsel not to plan an
attack but to plan retreat. They ran a
mile over a mountain to a neighboring
camp and left the bear in possession.
They returned next day to find the
worst looted cabin ever seen i'll that
district.

TO RECOGNIZE FILIPINOs.
Democratic Plan for Withdrawing
From LuZOn.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-two
Joint resolutions were introduced in the
House Of Representatives today by Re-
preventative Williams of Mississippi,
which are the result of a consultation
among "A number of Democratic leaders
in the House and are understood to be
expressive of their general position on
the Philippines.
The first resolution declares the in
tention ana purpose to recognize the
independence of the FilipinOs and with
draw our land and sea forces, provided
the Independent Government agrees to
refund the 800 900, 600 paid by the United
States to Spain, to give us a suitable
naval and coaling station and grant in
perpetuity free access 10 its ports.
Another section pledges our friendly
assistance and also pledges against
foreign interference or aggression for
ten years during which time the foreign
affairs are to be under American con-
troll.
The other resolution asks for infor-
nation relative to the conclusion of a
treaty with the Sultan of Sulu and
provides for an inquiry by the Judi
ciary Committee as to whether the
constitutional provisions against sla-
very and the statutory provisions
against polygamy apply to the Sulu
people.

CLOUDY PROSPECTS.

The reverses suffered by the British
arms in South Africa are liable to have
momentous consequences. 1t is not the
war in the Transvaal that is really in
question but it is the integrity Of the
British Empire which is imperilled.
Given time and the dear bought eXper-
fence of checks and defeat and the Boer
war can have but one ending. But it is
quite a question whether Great Britain
will not find herself attacked in other
quarters and find herself engaged in a
life and death struggle in many parts
Of the world at once.
France and Russia are doing their

best to urge Menelek of Abyssina I'd
attack the Sudan. OF course that dusky
potentate will only be a catspaw, and if
he burns his fingers those who have
urged him on will not give him any
comfort. Their object is simply to
strike a blow at British interests.
France has had longings after an EN-
pire in North Africa for years. It was
one of the dreams of the Great Napo-
leon, and he came near REALIZING it I'M
til Nelson dashed the cup from his lips
by his victory at Abouklr Bay TO
force Great Britain to retire from
Egypt and the Soudan is Frances dear
est wish
Russia of course has her eye upon
India, and while Great Britain is en-
gagged elsewhere, there is ample oppor-
tunity for a descent upon the northern
frontier of that satrapy. Here again
the attack will not be at first an. open
one. Just as Russian and French en-
misaries are stirring up Menelek, so
the Afghans and the border tribes, and
with the spring the torch of war may
be lighted along the whole Himalayan
frontier Behind this outbreak will be
a Russian army and Russian officers
and arms and money will be freely sup
Piled
In spite of this menacng condition of
affairs Great Britain has enormous re-
sources and can call forth great army,
while her navy is undoubtedly the SUI
perior of any two of the European ma
lions. If there is going to be a general
fight, it will not prove an easy one.
Great Britain with far less resources
both in men and money passed through
a tremendous crisis at the close of last
century and the beginning of this. She
is even more able to meet a crisis now,
and there is every reason to think that
though the struggle may prove costly,
the result will prove similar to that of
the last struggle.
Whatever objections may be made
against the British Empire, and there
are certainly many advanced on the
European continent where the Briton
is pretty cordially hated, British rule
has been of advantage to the people
ruled. Unlike the Dutch, who farm
their colonies for the benefit of the
mother country the policy of Great
Britain has, during this century, been
to make the colonies self dependent.
She is being repaid by the loyalty shown
by the colonists at the present time.
But turning from colonies to protect
ed countries and regarding the case of
Egypt, there can be no doubt that Brit
ish influence has brought that country
from a condition of bankruptcy, to
sound financial basis, and the tiller OF
the soil finds his condition infinitely
better than it has been for centuries.
Under a French protectorate the condi-
tions would be not nearly so good. The
French have never governed outlying
provinces to the advantage of the ruled.
Standing on the brink of another CEN
fury it looks as if there was going to
be a tremendous upheaval and the
forces of the world may be readjusted
There is going to be a new force which
will have very much to say as to that
reimbursement and that is the United
States. This will be the great world
power of the twentieth century which
will work for the ultimate peace and
of the world.

TO PROTECT THE FISHERIES.
Early Effort to Stop All Injurious
Legislation.

Sanford, Fla, Feb. 20.-Fhe Mayor is de-
termined that the Sanford fishermen and
their associates shall have a fair chance
to make an honest living. When the last
legislature passed fish law that was bur
densome and to his mind unjust, Judge
Welborn espoused the cause of the fisher
men and finally had the law declared UNI
constitutional, thereby releasing his clients
and all other fishermen from the operation
of a law that took away their living with
out any real benefit to fish culture in the
ST. Johns river.
AS the new legislature is soon to meet
Judge Welborn has already taken steps to
see that no future similar legislation shall
be enacted. On Friday he had Senator
Carson of Osceola and Orange counties
with Representative Palmer of Orlando
and Representative ]. N. Whitner of Fort
Reed, TO come to Sanford and inspect the
fishing camps and study of the question in
practical manner Mayor Welborn
and President Fernald of the Board OF
Trade acted as escorts and made many
points clear to the visiting legislators
Then Col Thomas j. Appleyard of the
Sanford Chronicle is sure of reelection as
secretary of the Senate, which win add
his powerful influence to the movement to
prevent injurious legislation against the
shad fisheries

NO MID-WINTER FAIR.
Freeze Has Destroyed Prospects of
1t at Winter Park.

EEttEt nus De&ITOAcu tFOsDetLS Ol
1t at Winter Park.
Winter Park, Fla, Feb. 20.-One of the
unfortunate results of the recent freeze
is the postponement of the usual mid
winter horticultural fair that was TO have
been held this week.
Florida has seldom, II ever, had better
season for fruits flowers. vines and early
vegetables up 10 the time of the freeze
An unusual number Of showers had helped
growing vegetation, and the freeze came
in the midst of a heavy, warm rain, when
only persons warned by telegraph had any
idea Of its approach.
On this occasion the loss in choice plants,
flowers, vines aud early vegetables was
very great. Many people who had housed
such plants nearly every night for three
months were so deceived by the warm
rain that they put even their tenderest
and most valuable plants, etc, out Sunday
only to find them killed to the ground on
Monday morning.
Under these circumstances Ii seemed
useless to attempt to have fair this win
ter. Some of our farmers have saved a
little of their garden and field crops Of
early vegetables and Strawberries, but not
enough to make an exhibit worthy of the
soil and climate in ordinary winters. The
loss in lemons, grape fruit, bananas and
guavas is widespread and quite discourag-
ing.
Whatever bleams of hope and cheer
come through a portion of the orange
groves not hard hit" by the freeze, the
absence of the fair this winter robs the
people of a splendid opportunity to display
the varied and attractive products of this
favored section of Florida to people of the
North and West now filling the hotels and
boarding houses.
While 1t is true that these visitors have
had too much cold and rainy weather to
suit them yet they have been amazed at
the variety and quality of the winter crops,
all Of which were very forward when the
freeze came. This leaves us in the posi-
ton of the man with the fine COW that
gave a big pail of milk, but to frequently
kicked the pail over and wasted it all.
Some of the truck farmers now feel too
poor to plant the seed offered them free by
the Southern Express Company Not
few will try some other employment
