demonstrating Havana.

AidNdHa was Hldue beautltul IN some
respects by its Spanish rulers, bnt was
far from a healthful place of residence.
/ Under American rule its sanitary con-
dltion has been greatly bettered For
the first time all parts of the city are
methodically cleaned and the Inadequate
sewer system has been improved so far
as possible without complete reconstruc-
ton. As a result yellow fever mas prac-
tically disappeared for the first time in a
century and half. In this regard Am
erican rule has not only benefited IIav-
ana itself, but has also largely relieved
our Gulf states from danger OF the yellow
plague.
Now, Colonel Black, the American
head OF the Havana health department,
has called together the councilmen and
other representative citizens to urge the
ACCESSIBILITY of further measures for max
ing the city better place OF residence.
Havana harbor for three centuries has
received the filth Of the city, and in the
interests OF both health and navigation
needs dredging and cleaning. 1t has
been proposed to dig canal to the ocean
back OF the city, and to permit the tides
to sweep freely through The harbor.
Many engineers doubt the success of this
plan, but recent improvements in ma
chinery have so cheapened the cost of
eXcavating and dredging that methods
hitherto deemed too expensive are now
practicable.
Colonel Black also proposes, as
speedy measure OF relief to the congested
quarters OF the poor, to alter the fire
limits law SO as to permit the cree on
upon land now vacant OF detached wood
Ell buildings for workingmen He also
proposes to abolish the military regu-
lation prohibiting the building of stone
or brick houses within 400 meters of
Forts Atares, Principe, and Santa Clara.
These forts are now useless, and the
spaces about them are needed for per-
manent buildings. union railway
station and a complete system of tram
ways were also considered. Colonel
Blacks proposals aroused much interest
and in due time will be taken up by the
municipal authorities.
Such practical measures and improve
msnts as these, originating with the Am
erican military authorities, are the best
sort of proof to the Cubans of the ben
etits OF American rule. Havana is grow
ing in population and commerce, despite
the reluctance of capital to engage in
Cuban enterprises until the continuance
of stable American government is as
sured. Hayana's debt is small, and the
resources upon which it can draw for its
own Improvement are increasing. II the
Cubans will but pIeier their solid inter
ests to political intrigues Havana will
become one of the most healthful and
beautiful cities in the world, and Cuba
one OF the wealthiest and most prosper
Gus countries on earth. -Inter-Ocean.

Wheat.

Wheat market continues to rule
quiet, with lessened receipts, light
shipping movement and very little
grain passing into the hands of ex-
porters. Values have been pos
sibiy q shade frmer than last
week, but the local range of quota
tons by exporters continue at Sic
for club and 54c for blue stem.
Round lots would probably COM
mand fractionally better figures,
but there is no buying pressure un-
der existing conditions of the mar
ket abroad and the situation con-
tlnulng to prevail in regard to ton
mage. Exports for the week com
prised one cargo of 1874 centals.
bringing May shipments up to 49,
III centals to date. The magnifi-
cent crop prospect continues to at
tract more general attention than
does present business. Inconse-
quental damage has been reported
from the Hessian fly in the Palouse
country during the week, but from
that section, as we'll as from the
Big Bend and Walla Walla, every
report tends to confirm the belief
that 1900 will produce the greatest
exportable grain surplus in the his
tory of the Northwest. The usual
sanguine estimates are being float
ed, some of which predict as high
as 3O,OOO,O00 bushels for this state.
but it will be safe to cut at least
100000 bushels from this esti-
mate in order to arrive at a more
approximate idea of the probable
yield, even with continuance oil
present favorable conditions. Upon
this basis the Pacific Northwes,
crop would range abou the 50,00O,.
600 point, and afford an increase o.
some 100000 bushels over last
season, to be cared for by our mill
ers and exporters.
American exporters showed ar
increase of 100000 bushels las
week, to SITS 422 bushels, and fol

Thus, under imperial protection, the
boxers preached the doctrine that it
was the foreigners, and not the en-
press dowager, who had aroused the
wrath Of the gods.
Extra foreign guards for the lega-
tions arrived, the Boxers became in
creasingly audacious, and things went
from bad to- worse until the legations
were ordered to quit Pekin and Baron
Won Ketteler was killed. There is not

1.-THE BEST SOLUTION
Mr.. }. K. Seoggins Gives Facts and Asks Un-
comfortable Questions.

ComIortdpIG VueStIohS.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
It will be remembered that during
the last campaign, the advocates Of the
dispensary law claimed that 1t was the
best solution Of the liquor problem and
a great many Of them also claimed
that under the present administration,
the law is better enforced than at any
time since it went into effect. And, Of
course, Governor McSweeney says so.
By referring to the result Of the vote
in the primary election at Antioch, 1t
will be seen that we have some Of these
people around Ogden. I wish to ask
them If they are pleased with the law
and the enforcement Of the same at
this place and at this time? When the
|southbound passenger train reaches
Ogden on Saturday nights, there Is a
regular carousal among the Negroes.
There is, have been informed, from S
to 10 gallons Of whisky put off at Og-
den every Saturday night, and no end
to cursing, swearing, firing Of pistols,
ETC., all in hearing distance Of the res
licences Of at least three white fami-
lies.
Is this, fellow citizens, what you call
the best solutions Of the liquor prob
lem? Do you call this rigid enforce
ment of the law?
Do you mean to say that the people
Of South Carolina are not capable Of
enacting a better law than this? Or
that the proper officials cannot better
enforce the law as it stands.
But perhaps am talking too fast. I
suppose, in a large town, like Ogden,
where we have one store, postof1ce,
cotton gin, cotton seed house and an
old blacksmith shop, that it is not pos
siDle to enforce the law further than
to the extent that there Is not over ten
gallons per week sold. And another
good proof that the law is being rigid
ly enforced, Is the fact that in the city
Of Charleston there is only 600 places
where whisky is sold, outside Of the
dispensaries.
Whisky is put off the train at Ogden
and carried by private conveyance to
the larger towns in open daylight.
This business has been carried on for
sometime, and as yet no one has been
interfered with. How Is this for a
strict enforcement Of the law? Since
Governor McSweeney's past record
shows that he has strictly enforced the
law, we would like to see this record
maintained by having matters justified
a little around Ogden. There is not a
law on the statute books Of South Car
olina, not excepting the carrying Of
concealed weapons. that is more abus-
ed than the dispensary law. am no
advocate Of the dispensary law; but
since we have the law, I do advocate
a strict enforcement Of it. It Is de-
plorable condition we are In. Whisky
Is sold on every hand to white and
black, to minors, drunkards and every
one, and we are told that this Is the
best solution Of the problem that we
can get? Whittier are we drifting? If
this is the best solution, we hope and
pray that we may never see a worse
one. But the people say 1t is the best.
The governor says the law Is being
enforced the best it can be; so I sup
pose there is no help for us. What are
we to do? J. K. ScoGGINs.
