Abram q. Smith, formerly editor of the

element over the Cape Nome gold fields,
and that there will be a great emigration

Smith says:
"The indications are that there will be
q great rush to Cape Nome next spring,
something like that to the Klondike in
the spring of 1898. 1t is evident that
numbers will so there from Victoria and

"The reports that had been circulating

Now, you have got a fine chance
of winning the favor of the govern
ment, and perhaps you will get an
order, or You will be put into a higher
class as regards the firing of salutes."
1t may be explained that on the
arrival and departure of Indian prin-
ceS a salute is fired in the residential
towns, and varies, according to the
princes rank, from seven to fifteen
guns. 1t is therefore the endeavor
of many Indian princes to get into a.
higher class. Ii the resident does
not express himself in this manner,
those are at least his views, and the
Maharaja, or whatever his title may
be, knows what the resident THINKS,
and acts accordingly" With regard
to the enlistment of a corps of Indian
volunteers for South Africa, this
authority says that the body is COM
posed mainly of starving English
men, who are only too glad of any
chance to shake the dust of India
from their feet.

Cuban Relief Work.
What America Has Done For
The Islanders.

The cost of relief work during the
first month of the American occupa-
ton of Havana was about $4,000.
This large sum was Of course made
necessary by the sudden demands
which were made to assuage the
acute and wide spread want which
was the natural result of the two
wars, one waged by the Cubans
themselves through many years, the
other by the American people in
their behalf. Gradually the sum of
these expenditures has been reduced
until in the month Of January 1900
it reacted the Insignificant amount
of So, 800 including cost of admins
tration.
Food has been distributed in the
from of ratiOns single ration we
ighing about one pound and half
and costing the government ten
cents. The ration consists chiefly
of bacon, cornmeal, sugar and rice,
with milk added in case of illuess.
While this relief work has been un-
der the general supervision of the
! American military administration
I the details have been in charge of
Mr. NJ. r. Suarez, Cuban .Ameri-
can who has an intelligent concep-
tion of the wants of the people.
The probabilities are that the in
fiuG of American capital now find
ing its way to the island will soon
put enough new life and vigor into
the languishing industries to provide
remuuerative employment for all.

and there is a favorable outlook from

Stirring The
British Blood.

The Queens contemplated tour of
Ireland in lieu of her recently con.
templated visit to Italy cannot be
other wise viewed than as an effort
to stimulate loyalty in this part of
the empire and is a shreWd move,
entirely justifiable under the great
stress and peril of the situation.
1t is likely that for larger pro-
position of her subjects there soill be
found failkfnl to the crown than is
generally supposed and indeed the
most notable result of the war so
for has been to demonstrate the re.
markable fealty Of the colonials eye-
ry where.
The departure Of the loyal contin-
gents for the front in Canada, Aus
tralia and New Zealand have been
accompanied by scenes Of remarsa
bic enthusiasm and it is believed
that large forces could be called out
every where if needed.
One of the continental Is papers
says;
"NO suspicion Of political Ipreme-
ditation has marred the heartiness Of

the recent actions Ofthe Queen, her
