Gen. Alger got 4 lively shaking up on
the morning of Dec. ~ in his house at
Detroit by burglar, whom he surprised
in the act. The burglar tripped him and
got away, while the General was picking
himself mp, with a booty estimated at
$500. The General has n burglar alarm
in his house, but it happened to be off that
night. He has also fine watchdog, but
the dog happened to be shut up in a dis
tant outbuilding.

Comrade A. w. Edwards, editor of the
Fargo Forum and Daily Republican. of
Fargo, n. d., considers himself something
of predictor. at least, in the Presidential
line. -Four years ago, month before

kota's majority for Mckinley, coming
within 116 of the official count. October
this year the Forum predicted 1900 ma
jorfty for Mckinley, and the returns show
his majority to be 1857.

THE NATIONAL ENcAMPNENT.

Last week the Western Traffic Asso
citation made a tardy concession of one
cent-a-mile to the National Encampment
provided its date were postponed to Sep
tember There were probably other more
important strings tied to the concession
which were not reported in the dispatches
The COmmander-in-Chie and Executive
Committee met in ST. Louis last Monday tC
consider the proposition, and decided, by
a vote of s TO /, to call the Encampment
together elsewhere. The other places men
toned are Washington, Pittsburg ant
Cleveland, with leaning toward the lat
ter city. The Executive Committee ad
journed to Jan. 81, to give the places that
desired to entertain the National En-
campment an opportunity to present theil
claims. The field is now open 70 the
whole country, and any city that want:
the meeting can make its bid. 1t is biz
prize, for it means the bringing to tn,

London Assessors 10 pay 5000 tax upon
his income of 100000 year in Great
Britain. Here is man who never did
an honest days work in his life, who
never conducted a legitimate business OF
any kind, whose sole vocation has beer
politics, and yet who has laid up in Great
Britain, outside of the reach of the courts

ically one-pound shells, are expensive mil

MORE Spaniards are emigrating TO Cuba
than ever did under Spanish rule. Fully
10000 have come since the island passed
into American hands, and the steamships
are bringing them at the rate Of I,100 a
load. This has various aspects. the first
being that Spaniards and white men will
dominate the islands and not negroes, as
many anticipated. If the newcomers be,
come citizens they will incline much more
strongly to United States than native rule
