Survivors of the Alpha.

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 2e-The
steamer Quadra has brought te sur
vivors of the wreck of the Fteamer
Alpha and the bodies of the captain
and the managing owner to tbs city.
The Alpha has now gone to ldestruc'
tion. Chief officer Wilkerson says
that although the skipper saw the
rocky coast of Yellow Island the yes
sci would not answer her helm. The
survivors had great trouble in land
ing and several of them narrowly es'
capped being dashed to pieces on the
rocks. One of the notable features
in connection with the disa aster was
that the day after the news came of
the wreck the United States govern
ment made a move to RELEASE the ship
from penalty for running the blockade
at Nome last spring by sending spe'
cial officer here to make terms.

CHRISTMAS IN FRANCE.
Parisians Celebrated in Characteristic
Fashion-Charity Not Forgotten.


Paris, Dec. 26.-Christmas tide was
favored in France with bright, cheer.
full weather, and Parisians celebrated
it in characteristic fashion. All the
restaurants and cafes were crammed
Christmas eve with festive supper par
ties, which did not disperse until early
in the morning. At midnight masses,
with special musical attractions, filled
the leading churches to overflowing.
The boulevards Christmas day were
filed with throngs inspecting the at
tractive little booths which had been
erected in continuous lines along botn
sidewalks and in which toys, candies,
fancy articles and other Christmas
novelties were displayed A roaring
trade, greatly in excess of that of pre-
vious years, was done by the booth
holders.
The charitable side of the festival
was represented by numbers of free
meals and seasonable gifts to poor
families and outcasts. Madame Lou
bet gave 1000 francs to be used for
the relief OF widows in necessitous
circumstances.

London, Dec. 24-Lord Kitchener!
dispatches, breathing a confdenc,
hardly justified by their contents, are
almost the only available news from
the seat of hostilities in South Africa,
but kilograms from Cape Town depic
the situation In anything but roseatG
hues.
Without believing the assertion o
the Transvaal agency in Brussels tha
5000 Beers have invaded Cape Colony
1t is quite evident that the invasion
was a serious and well planned affair
In connection with this q correspon
dent sends an extremely interesting
letter dated Bethulie. Dec. /, describ
ing Gen. Dewet and his doings:
"Dewet has never been taken seri
ously enough" says the 'correspon
dent. ut is of little use to pursue
him, as he fights a rear guard action
and gains 20 miles while he is being
fought.
''He is born military genius whose
wonderful powers have kept up this
phenomenal resistance.
"Once he fails, the whole thins
could be crushed in q fortnight. He
has every single commando under hi;
supervision. All his patrols and col
umns march and countermarch on his
order. The forces under his command
have been reduced by his strength oi
will to a properly organized army
moving at his word. The sooner the
British rid themselves of the idea that
Dewet's forces are mere rabble, wan
dering aimlessly, the sooner they will
grasp the need of the determined eff
fort which is necessary to capture
him."
The Cape Colony cabinet has an i'm
portant sitting Sunday. 1t appears that
Beers have destroyed railroad bridge
90 feet long about IL miles south OF
De Aar and that no Cape mails have
arrived at Bloemfontein for three
days. Further anxiety has beer
caused in Cape Town by the discover
that, during the last two months, pub
lie bodies in out of the way places
have requisitioned supplies or dyna
mite. The colonial government is now
endeavoring to recover possession OF
these explosives and is removing al
stores of arms and ammunition from
suspected depots. Other advices from
Cape Town represent the Dutch ele
ment in Cane Colony as greatly elate6
over the southward progress of the
Beers and as boasting that the whole
district of Victoria West will join the
raiders. It is suspected in Cape Towr
that the force travelling from Zoutpan's
drift is not body of Beers but one
of the colonials, Fastening to join the
Invaders.

Kansas City, Dec. 24.-Capt. Hey
gate, of the British army. is purchas
ing $4,000 cavalry horses and mules
for the British army in South Africa
He came here more than a year age
to buy horses and mules, but was or
dered home a short time ago. But the
unexpected renewal of hostilities has
made the purchase OF more horses and
mules necessary. AS fast as the ami
mails are inspected and bought they
will be sent TO New Orleans and
shipped to Cape Town, Durham and
New London on British transports
some of which are now on their way tC
the United States. One ship load OF
the animals will be taken to South
Africa by Lieut.. David Moberly, leav
ing New Orleans soon after Jan. /.
Lieut.. Moberly said:
"By the time the horses and mules
are landed in South Africa they cost
the British government $3.50 a head.
That is a large price for an animal
which will be fit for service only six
weeks. Most Of the animals die be.

ing before putting them into service.
Consequently they go to the front in
a weakened condition, and not getting
a sufficient amount of food they soon
die. Since the beginning of the Boer
war England has purchased over 1O0,-
900 head of horses and mules in the
United States. 1t required 60 ships &c
carry them from New Orleans to South
Africa. Government transports will be
kept very busy from now on carrying
the horses which England will need
in South Africa, and which have been
ordered purchased in the United
States. Baden-Powell now has $4,000

London, Dec. 22.-The responsible

Hay Pauncefote canal treaty at con-

mentary things about the United

THE worst of Ii is, il will say,
that we have only ourselves to thank
for the whole pother. The policy of
perpetual concessions to the United

sponse from the other party save
fresh demands and increasing inso-
lence Our own statesmen have
brought upon themselves humiliations
which it is conceivable they may at
last be induced to resent"
The worst thing the Spectator will
say is the following:
apparently the object of the Unit
ed States senate has not been to at
tain a particular object so much as
to insult a friendly power and to make
it difficult for that power to negotiate
in a conciliatory spirit
The Speaker will go into the canal
question historically, citing Nicara-
gua's treaties with Spain in 1856,
France in 1860, Italy in 1868, and Eng.
land in 1860, neutralizing the project
ed canal, pointing out that these are
all in force now except the treaty with
England.

But neither the dogs fidelity, nor the

those invisible foes that lurk in air,
water and food-the germs of disease.
Children need 10 be specially watched
and cared for. When there is loss of
appetite, lassitude and listlessness in a
child, an attempt should be made to re-
vive the appetite and rally the spirits. In

parents have found an invaluable medi-

their emulsions offered for children's

lutely eliminates from the system the
poisons which feed disease.
