The section has been the law since 1878 and
is hardly worth discussing now.
THE provision requiring the payment of
the principal and interest of the new bonds
in gold represents, i think, a mistaken view
as to our national credit. L cannot but ex-
press my regret that the committee felt
that the exigencies of the money market
required departure from the terms here

So long as norsel of food lasted among

understand it is fully provisioned and pre-

Beers knew all this was coming, and pre-
pared for the inevitable They knew eX
actly when Jameson was coming, and
simply went out and captured him, some of
the Beers actually going to the fight in
evening dress from a ball which they were
attending in "a border town. They had their
rifles with them at the ball. Irish. German
and Scandinavian brigades are with the
Beers. led by German and French officers,
first-class soldiers. and there are 6,0O0 Ger
man artillerists. So, you see, the war will
not be over by May; at which time We may
begin. We shall have all the officers we
need. and more of the very best that can be
produced. and for men the trouble will
be we will have too many.
No Fear of Interference.
No we do not fear interference from
the United States government-not in time
to upset our plans. The last time Presi-
dent Johnson winked at US long enough to
enable US to get over if there hadn't been
so much bungling; but there will be no
bungling this time. AS Johnson himself
said to a friend of mine, L gave them three
weeks to get over, and, by -, If they
have got over in three months We will
not need three days this time. The work
of concentration will go on quietly, and so
thoroughly that the matter of mobilization
will be a matter of a few hours. We have
plenty of rifles and bayonets, good Spring
fields. rule, but there will be regiments
with magazine rifles, too, and We have a
good supply of Hotchkss and other quick
firing guns. We shall have open ground
with the British in Canada, and will have no
hesitation in treating them to the bayonet.
Once in Canada shall have more friends
than enemies. We have our own country
men there and the French. You know, the
French Canadians are and have been or
ganzng for the day when they could throw
off the British yoke. They have a strong
organization, known as the Canadian Lib
erty Society, which is to them what the
Clan-na-Gael is to the Irish.

THE taking of Canada will be simply a

Whether d rising in Ireland will take place
simultaneously with our entry into Can

If our old friend, France, or our new friend.
Germany, or better say the kaiser himself,

at any time become a matter Of moments.

Republican Managers of House to
Bring Porto Rican Dill to
Vote Next Wednesday,

Washington, April 9.-The repub.
lean managers of the house have de-
cided not to allow protracted debate
upon the motion to concur in the
senate amendments to the Porto
Rican tariff bill next Wednesday. A
special rule will be framed which will
bring the motion to vote after sew
eral hours of debate. Both sides are
using their, utmost endeavors to get
every absentee to Washington. The
opposition will make the first fight
on the adoption of the rule, but the
republicans who are canvassing the
situation express great confidence in
their ability to put through the pro-
gramme agreed upon at the repub.
lican caucus on Thursday by larger
majority than was secured for the
original bill.

NEWS OF THE WORLD
The asst. Paul Dispatch" Enterprise Gives
1t to Northwestern Readers,

III TO northwestern READERS.
If anything had been lacking to
make perfect metropolitan news
paper of the 81. Paul Dispatch. the
want was entirely filled when it com
pleted arrangements for the special
foreign cable service which is now
Frightening its columns. 1t is really
astonishing how the recent war with
Spain has developed the American
thirst for the news of the world. 1t
placed America in new position
with regard to the leSt of the earth
and gave new Importance to the
events of the world at large. If the
movements of foreign powers were
once of interest thev became doubly
so when America rose into place as a
world power. The 81. Paul Dispdtc1,
recognized this when it secured this
cable service, with it's news from first
hands. No longer is London the sole
source of all European news, and nc
longer is the news of the world filtered
through British channels and tinted
with English ideas. 1T comes to the
dispatch straight from each European
center and without bias or prejudice
This will be gratifying to all lntelli
gent people of the Northwest, particu
larly SO to that large foreign-born ele
ment which delights in information
direct from the fatherland. Th.
Dispatch has secured resident cores
pondent in every large city on earth
who uses both cable and mail in send
ing in every news event of interest
and all public gossip that is dear te
the heart of the newspaper reader. In
the past six years the Dispatch has
made great strides to the front and is
to-day recognized as the greatest eve
ming newspaper of the Northwest.
The subscription price being sc
small it puts a daily paper in reach OF
everybody. Send 25 cents for one
