WAR BETWEEN SPAIN AND
FRANCE.

The Paris correspondent of a sensa-
tional newspaper has set the rumor
afioat that war is possible between Spain
and France over matter concerning
the custom duties levied by the former
upon goods manufactured by the lat
ter. Sunch an outcome is hard to believe,
because the two countries have been
for years on unusually intimate terms.

tween nations, but you can tell What

are accomplished by the Bitters, and

Jim Booker VIII be It's First Victim on

Jim Booker, the condemned criminal,
now confined in Wake county jail await
ing death, will be swung into eternity
with new rope. Sheriff Page is afraid
to risk either of the two old ropes as
they are badly worn. These old ropes
have been in use by the county for a
number of years, and have carried
eleven lives into eternity. They have not
only served Wake county. but have been
used by several surrounding counties
The new rope is an ordinary jute one,
and was purchased by Sheriff Page i'll
Baltimore. The kind desired was not
to be found in the city. The kinds here
were all too stiff to draw the knot up.
The same old scaffold, which has been
used ON former occasions. will be erect
ed day or two before the execution.
Booker is a medium sized black negro,
and is taking his confinement very easily.
SO far he has not broke down much.s but
eats his meals as regularly and heartily
as any prisoner in Jail. His execution
takes place ON the 18th and will be
private.

THE REGULARS

In brilliant actions by sea and land the navy and the army have won for the United States a new empire and for themselves imperishable glory. They may we'll appeal to the conslderate Judgement of mankind upon their per- formances, confident that when carping criticism shall have been siIenced they will receive their fitting reward in the thanks and praises of the generations yet to come. We hope that the coming year will show that the lessons of the war will not be lost upon the country and that the regular army will be re- cognized in its department, as the regu- lar navy has always been in its sphere, as the bulWark of the national defense. When General Knox declared that national militia was the cheap defense of nations, he had in mind, as his often misquoted letter will show, people trained to arms as they are to-day in Germany and France. He laid the greatest stress upon the need of such training and until Congress provides for it, as it is provided for abroad, the trained soldiers of our regular army must be, with their compers of the navy, the countrys reliance for tranquility at home and security abroad.

land is without rival. As her sea power has net been an ephemerllg growth she has slowly, link by link, forged wonderful chain, binding India, the Yellow sea, Australia. and the Cape to the mother country. In the acquisition, development, and fertilization of her coaling stations she must have spent within the last half-century nearly $500, 900, 900. Thus it will be seen that the power which is to compete with her in this respect will have to pour out money like water. It cannot be doubted that the United States will equip itself with a chain of stations linking Manila and China to the Pacific coast. Already they possess, or can have for the ask ing, Hawaii, the Ladrones and Caro- lines, and Pango-Pango in Samoa. In the West Indies they will have Porto Rico and Cuba. With these advanced positions, the need for sea-going ships, and not monitors, grow.-H. W. Wilson in Harper's Monthly.

RESOURCES OF LABRADOR.
The Wealth of Timber and Minerals
 Within Its Limits.

The Wealth of Timber and Mineral! Within Its Limits.
 More is being heard now of Labrador
 that land to which lengends of giants
 and curiously deformed men are at tachtI, says the Vancouver News Ad-
 vertser. During the last two or three years there has been a growing belief that Labrador, that great and terrible wilderness" that "Heluland," or re- zion of naked rocks, as the old Morse
 men called it, is destined to turn out a
 rich mining region. As yet there is nc
 tangible proof of this; but of late 1t
 has been explored in many directions
 it's rivers have been ascended, its ta-
 ble-land crossed at several points, and the result has been that it has attract ed much more attention than before, and is no longer regarded as a desolate heap of rocks, useless for purposes of civilized man. MT. Lowe has told us of it's vast forests, and visitors from va rious lands have brought back so many specimens of minerals that a wide spread impression has arisen that it will become a great mining field.
 The magic word gold has been whispered in connection with it, and the possibility of a notherneast Klondille being discovered here has taken pos session of the minds of no small num- Der of explorers. Its formations are said to resemble those of the real Klondike, and gold specimens have been found which the leen-eyed hunters of that metal regard as pecularily promising. The result is that no fewer than seven exploring expeditions have made this year for Labrador. Five of those were organized in Halifax, one left from Boston, and the seventh has just start ed from St. Johns.
 In another respect Labrador is at tracing attention. Though the coast is succession of grim rocks-not without wild, stern beauty of their own and al- most treeless-yet at the heads of some of the bays and inlets there are large areas covered with timber of a large size, mainly spruce, we'll adapted for numbering purposes. In these Labrador forests speculation is rife this year. No fewer than 21 applications for timber limits, some of them for 800 square miles, have been made to our govern ment, and the same number of licenses to cut timber have, we understand, been granted, so that consider able amount of capital is likely to be invested there, and this will furnish in- creased employment to the people. Labrador hitherto has been famous only for the fish wealth of it's seas; now it would seem as if the treasures of the land were to be turned to account. It's dimensions are enormous. The Atlantic coast line is over 1000 miles in length, and the area of the entire peninsula not less than 120,00O square miles.-From the Scientific American.
