structed carriage, which has the APP
pearance of having been slapped to-
Igether during a campaign when facili-
ties for doing the work properly were
very meagre. The cannon was cast in
Sevilla in 1894, and has several fanci-
full designs on the exterior, including
the Spanish coat of arms.
The cannon was placed in the street,
with the wheels of the carriage resting
in the gutter, and attracted a great
deal of attention during the day. 1t
was at all times surrounded by a small
crowd of sight-seers, none of whom ex-
pressed surprise after examining it,
ove the ease with which the S~paniards
were walloped in the Philippines. At
the next meeting of Council, Mayor
Sweeney will notify that body of the
arrival of the cannon, and steps will
probably be taken to place it on per-
manent exhibition at some point on
the square.

QUITE WHITE BREAD.

An E~piscopalian minister of Ellen ,

In the spiritual welfare of his colgrega-

also, says: Il can now DO an immense

1t is a well known fact that white
bread is almost entirely composed of
starch and this is difficult of digestion
by many people, particularly those who
have weak intestional digestion. The
result of the use of much white bread
is a lack of brain and V power
to do mental work and it also creates
intestinal troubles, because the excess
of starch ferments in the intestines and
makes the conditions right for the
growth of microbes; whereas Grape
Nuts breakfast food contains the
needed starch, but in a predigested
form. That is, it is transformed into
grade sugar in the process of manufac>
ture, and delivered in the packages,
ready cooked, and in such shape that

Scenes Of Jubiiation that Were Never
EaunIIed in the Worlds Metrop-
oils, Enacted Last Night.
LONDON, May IA a. m.-Lon-
don's millions spent half the night in
the street and even at 4 this morning
troops of young men are ~promenading,
singing and cheering and there are
crowds in front of the Mansion House,
Marlborough House, the clubs or Pail
Mall and the wal Office and in parlia-
ment square, waving flags and joining
III the national airs.
This sustained believing and uproar
of hundreds of thousands amaZes the
Englishman, who ceases for a moment
to be an actor and becomes merely an
observer. Sober, phlegmatic London
is beside itself with emotion. Gusts
of patriotism have set the town quiv-
ering twice or thrice before during the
war, but nothing has quite equalled to-
nights hundred quare miles Of almost
furious demonstration. 1t was a Curl
Gus thing for the onlooker to see sol
emn, gray-haired men toss their opera
hats into the air and join in the hurri-
cane of cheers when a wreath crown
ed banner, with the portrait OF Col
Baden-Powell on it was borne along
Piccadilly. Smart women in broug-
hams waved Union Jacks out Of the
windows. Conventional family parties
stopped at street orner to take part
in singing God Save the Queen" and
Soldiers of the Queen" Everywhere
were abandon. good feeling and an
astonishing roar of human voices.
1t was all brought about by a twenty
word telegram from Pretoria thai
Mafeking had been relieved. Although
the government has not a word and
nothing confrmatory has been received
from any African source except Pre-
toria, nobody apparently questions the
news. Mr.. Arthur j. Balfour, govern
ment leader in the House of Commons,
speaking from the government bench
late last evening said:
The only news | have is through
the courtesy of the press. We have no
information at the war Office. | need
hardly say that we all trust, and we
have good reason to think that it is
probably true" (Cheers.)
Mr.. George Wyndham, parliamentary
under secretary for war, replying to
several members of the House who had
privately Intercepted him. said:

The proclamation closes with asking
the Filipinos to still strive for liberty
and independence, and again warns the

FAKE HOTELS RAIDED.
THE POLICE MADE A DESCENT UPON
TWO VERY QUESTIONABLE
RESORTS LAST NIGHT.
PRoPRIEToRs AND LOTTERIES
Were Placed Under Arrest-Jos.
Bnrum Charged With Conducting
n House of characterization
Bros. Charged With a Violation of
the Ordinance ~Pertniping to Coffee
Houses-The Bribery Matter.

Chief Clemans has evidently deter
mined to force the rejected applicants
for liquor license to discontinue the
conduct of their resorts in defiance OF
the law. Last night Joseph Barum's
fake hotel was raided, and the police
also made a descent upon Muldoon
Bros place, at the corner of Main and
Twentieth streets, formerly conducted
by Barum. A number of arrests were
made at each place.
The warrants were prepared by Clerk
Nolte, of the Police Court, under the
direction of City Solicitor S. o. Boyce.
The arrests were made by Chief Glenn
ans, Lieut.. Ed. Michael and twelve po-
lice officers.
Muldoon Bros place was first Wis
tied. Chief Clemans told the man be-
hind the bar what he wanted, and was
conducted through a number of wine
rooms that were unoccupied.
You have other rooms, and you
have here" suggested the
Chief.
1--WE have some guests" was the dip
lomatic reply.
The Chief indicated a desire to be
brought face to face with the guests"
and his wish was gratified. The war
rants, two in number, charged Null
doom Bros. with permitting lewd wom-
en- to loiter about and drink on their
premises, in violation of Sec. IS of the
ordinance governing coffee houses and
~ordinaries. -Four nymphs du pave
were found and placed under arrest.
The other warrant was for Joseph
Barum, and charged him with conduct
ing a house of i'll fame. Barum's
place is '"The Imperial" No. 2006 Main
street If the place has been operated,
1t has been without either a liquor or
hotel license. The police say that they
experience a great deal of trouble in
securing evidence that intoxicating
drinks have been sold at the Imperial
since the expiration of the license year.
All who are in position to know, insist
that only soft drinks have been sold.
At the Imperial three girls and three
men were placed under arrest. One
was a prominent travelling man, and
his companion a young lady connected
with a very respectable East End fam
lily. All who were arrested furnished Sc
curity for their appearance in Police
Court this morning, and were re-
leased.
The interest in the alleged attempt
to bribe Councilmen is still being man
ifested by the public, and hundreds Of
good citizens insist upon a proper in
vestigation of the matter. A Register
reporter yesterday made another eff
fort to see Councilman Ross Chew, who
has been challenged by G. A. Land
messer to furnish proof of the alleged
attempt to bride him with an offer of
$500. At Mr.. Chew's store it was
stated that he was still out of the city,
and might not return before Sunday
night.
