The Effect Of Two Wars.

The two recent wars of history have both been surprises. The Spanish-Am- erican war came a year and half ago, and was so short, sharp and decisive, and had such a far-reaching effect that the world has not yet got through won dering how it all happened. A few months ago came the English war against the Boers. Every one supposed that it was a game of British bluff which would work as was expected, and that before New Years the Transvaal Republic would be off the map of Af- rica. It was the British boast that they would eat their Christmas dinner in Pretoria. Itis now we'll into the month of January, and the English troops are not yet off English territory, and the English people at home are beginning to feel wars pinching effect. In con- sequence of so many vessels being in demand as transports the cost of carry ing merchandise is raised. That in creases the cost of bread and other household necessities. In another re- spect, so many miners have enlisted thatlabor at the coal mines is scarce, and the cost of fuel is higher than it has been for years. In some instances the cost of coal is so high that manufac- turers are stopping their work because the cost of coal cuts off their profit on the finished product, this throws many workmen out of employment.
 In short, this little war against the Dutch has been as much a surprise to the world as the American naval battle at Manila and Santiago. It has dis organized business in England, pinch ed thousands of her people, has created a monetary panic in London that sent the English consoI below par. And the the end is not yet. We'll may the En- g fish states men wish tEey were out of it.-Seattle Times.

Things were becoming mighty inter esting for the News man and interpre- ter Howard was getting his work in in good shape, but.
 The best laid plans of mice and men gang
 aft aglee,'
 and when we were just getting warmed up to thorough cross s-examinatio n, St. Paul spoiled the whole thing, or at least that is what the woman said, for she stated, as she appealingly looked up at the Apostles picture, that St. Paul had just sent her command not to talk further on the subject giving as a reason that people did not believe what she said. The News man endeavored to inspire her with the belief that the scribe was taking everything in that she was saying, but when a woman twill she will and when she won't she won't" and not another word could our interpreter get out of her. We then turned our attention to the man who was roasting his shins and he informed the writer that Mrs. Harsh Doc as we'll as her friends thought herself in danger of some of those natives she was exposing.

SURPRISED HIM.
Thomas Casheu, Popular Young rian of this City, Very Pleasantly Surprised
 By His Friends

On Tuesday evening, January lG, about fifty of the friends and associ- atos of MT. Thomas Cashen met at Mir. Elliotts drug store and proceeded in a body to MT. Cashen's boarding place-J. J. Penglase's-where they found him, in his shirt sleeves, down on his hands and knees on the floor busily playing the entrancing game of tiddle- de-winks.
 To say that hewas surprised is put ting it mildly. His attention was not attracted by the opening of the door and when he finally looked up from the game he was playing the room was filled with the jolly, laughing crowd, and Thomas was paralyZed.
 He soon recovered his equilibrium, however, and entered into the spirit of the thing with that zest and earnest ness that has heretofore made him so popular with the young people.
 The kind of games usually indulged in at such gatherings occupied the time for an hour or more, when, after partak ing of light refreshments, all repaired to Ohman's Hall, where the music was in waiting, and dancing followed until about midnight Then all went down to the Gem restaurant and partook of a delicious supper prepared for the oc- casion. After this little more danc- ing filled up the balance of the even- ing.
 Messrs. Isadore Deman, Hugh McRae and Thomas Purdy were the chief in stigators of this pleasant party and deserve much of the credit for its sig nal success.

The Townsend a Wreck.
Disnatch. 18th.

Dispatch 18th.
 The Steamer Townsend, owned by c. D. Lane of California, is lying a few miles from the safe harbor of Haines, being pounded to pieces on the rocks. The Rosalie arrived this morning with the rescued crew and five passengers, that were picked up at Haines. Pur- ser Corey of the Townsend gives the following report. We left Skagway at 2 p. III. on the 18th in moderate gale, and soon ran into heavy gale. About p. m. we went high and dry on sand bar known as the Katshum bar. We cleared there at p. n. the next day, and went into Haines where we se cured the Juneau sack of mail. Left Haines at 3:15 p. m. on the 10th, and was four miles out when something broke in the boiler room, and flooded the cabin with escaping steam. The chief engineer went below and on com ing up again reported to Capt. McKen- zic on the bridge that the leakage could not be stopped, and that steam would only last ten minutes at the most. The Captain then started back for Haines, facing a gale, and in eight minutes the steam gave out, and the boat went ashore on a rocky point, and, being helpless, cradled in the projecting rocks. The rocks appeared to tear out the bottom in several places, and a large hole was opened in the stern. A small boat was lowered and line made fast at both ends, and in this way the passengers and baggage were sent ashore, the crew staying blythe steamer until ordered ashore by the Captain. When the steamer began to fill, and list to the starboard decided to open the safe and secure the ships papers and money, and while turning the combi- nation the boat lurched so much that I feared she would turn bottom side up into deep water. The crew went ashore and with the passengers started to walk to Haines, with the weather below zero. The Chinese cook froze his feet and hands, and the pilot was nearly exhaust ed from cold when the journey Was ended. Purser Corey says that the Rosalie crew did everything in their power to assist the shipwrecks on their arrival at Haines. Capt. McKinzie stayed behind to look after the ship and to try to recover the baggage stolen by the Indians, which, during the ex- citement, was left unguarded.
