AN ANTARCTIC oA5fe.
A Queer Discovery Made During she
 Recent Expedition

Recent antarctic discoveries by the Belgian expedition, are described iH the Century for January by MT. Fred erick A. Cook of Brooklyn, whose arti- cle is very fully illustrated. "An oasis In snowy wilderness" is the phrase he employs in characteriztng a certain bit of the antarctic land. Being still unwilling to advance into the unknown region before us while enshrouded in mist, we drew near a prominent noun t-~in peak to make debarkment The Tiff was perpendicular cliff, free of snow to the seashore. It was one of 8 number extending far into the south east, as We learned on the following day We made a debarkment at it's 5ase. Here was life in profusion, as indeed there was on every rock where life could gain a footing. The noise from the birds, which re-echoed from cliff to cliff, was deafening. The lower rocks were lined with snoring and grunting sea-leopards. Columns of vapor rose above the water followed by hiss like that of steam engine. and a second later the blue back of a whale, with it's long fin and ponderous tail, lashed the water into foamy whirlpool The great wall of land-iee rose to each side of the black cliff, which gave us a shelf as a landing place From this wall came frequent sounds like the explosion of cannon, which were followed by splash and commotfon in the water. With such reports parts of tue wall would cont stantly break away and fall into mil- ti0n pieces, strewi.ng the water with small fragments of ice, but not with ieebergs Above us rose a cliff to an altitude Of about 1000 feet; out from this were projecting mantel-like rocks, which served as resting places for the eormorants and sea-gulls Here the young ones, dressed in gray down, eoaxed their mothers for food. We ex- Qected to see the little things drop from their narrow resting places, to be de- stroyed on our heads or on the rocks below, but such an accident rarely hap pened. Our greatest surprise here was the discovery of large quantities of moss and 1iehens, which gave the spot an unexpected appearance Of vegeta. b1e life and color. After seeing noth- ing but ice and black rocks for so many days, this sight of green and brown and red amid an endless expanse of ley desert was a great relief It was

Big Contract fos an American Company.

Big Contract fov an American Company.
 After being carefully guarded for over two months 1t has leaked out that the tramway committee of the Glas- gow (Scotland) corporation has award ed the contract for the supply ard lay Ing of the conduit for conveying the cable for Glasgow municipal tramways to the National Conduit and Cable company of America. The work of laying the pipe under American super vision has already begun, and some 500 navies are being employed. This con- duit contract is reported to be by far the most important one ever placed outside of England. Already 100000 feet of piping have been ordered, and it is said that the chances are that the entire requirements in this line will be tiled by the Americans, and that the cab1e-on the superior manufacture of which English manufacturers have long prided themselves-will also be ordered from the United States. The curious part of the conduit contract is that a lump sum has been agreed upon with the National company that will include the supply of pipes, the ex- cavation of the earth as we'll as the laying of the pipe.

IS A THING OF THE PAST.
tong-Hofned stees Took Too Much spao,
 and Held Too Decided Opinions.

tong Horned Steer Took Too Much Space
 and Held Too Decided Opinions.
 Ten years from now the visitors at the stock yards in Chicago will Iooh at the massive horns nearly six feet from tip to tip that hang over the doorways of offices and hardly be able to believe that they were taken from the head of "beef critter" on the Texas ranges, and that hundreds of thousands of cattle with such horns once ran half wild on the ranches and plains of the Lone Star stata. For the passing of the long-horned, long
 legged, uncertain colored and still more uncertain tempered Texas steer is a thing of today, and in his place one finds a stockily built, red or roan ani- nal, with short, stubby horns, or no horns at all. The Texas steer of to- day is not properly descended from the Texas cattle of the past. He has sim- ply supplanted the others on the ranges, and the former animal has either migrated farther south or has gone out into space and is no more. The improvement-as it most certainly ls--has been brought about in many ways. The first great change came when the cattle man decided that car space that could be filled up by good, salable beef, was more profitable than that taken up by the picturesque horns of the Texas steer, and began to dehorn the yearlings and young steers. More could be gotten into car, as they could stand closer together. It was but step to then begin to improve the quality by crossing the cows with fine bred bulls, Durham, Hereford and Angus, and the Texas steer of 1900 will compare very favorably with the cat tie in Missouri. He has taken on weight, and will average 100 to 150 nonnds heavier tban in former days

THE following from the recent adj
dress of the silver Republicans, gives
some of the reasons why Bryan may
expect the assistance of prominent
republicans in all of the doubtful and
r. scpendent states. "In addition to
its departure from the advocacy OF
bimentallism the republican party
has now, still more profoundly de-
parted from the traditions and IN.
terests ofthe American people by be-
coming the apologist for and the
champion of trusts and monopolies
and has introduced such imperialistic
practices and theories into the adj
ministration of the affairs of the
government that for the first time in
the history of this party its national
convention could not even refer to
the Declaration of Independence, and
this, although its convention of 1900
met in such place and with such an
environment that the great declara-
ton would have appealed to the
party had it still listened to the voice
that in earlier and better days plead
ed for government OF the people,
for the people and by the people. In
the face of such profound departures
from the traditions and interests of
the American people we cannot re-
turn to the republican party. On the
other hand, we find the democratic
party has placed itself right on the
money question, right on the ques-
ton Of trusts and monoplies, right
as the champion OF the Declaration
of Independence and Unconstitutional
government, and right in expressing
its sympathy for other nations who
only ask that (which you would
that others should do unto you, do
ye even so unto them"

THE smallness of our Hanna adj.
ministration is demonstrated by
the runner, which seems to please
republicans immensely, that Walter
Davis, assistant postmaster at Kan

to be made by the administration at
Washington to fill the place from
some family having a little more
agreeable name to President McKin-

An Apolbesis Of BRYAN.

In his speech to the Kansas City
convention Coy Chas. 5. Thomas,
of Colorado. temporary chairman,
said I'VE would have for our chief
magistrate a man sprung from the
loins of the people, rock.rlbbed in his
convictions. and controlled by the
admonitions OF his conscience. A
man of lofty ideals aud steadfast
courage. A man to whom his eoun-
try's constitution appears asaliving
and sacred reality. A man who exalts
the duties. the rights, and the wei
fare of his fellow citizens above the
sinister and corroding influences of
centralized eommercialism. A man
whose ear is untuned to the pull
sations oil the poekt book, but re-
sponsive to the heart-throb of the
masses, A man with no Warwick
behind his chair, with policies of his
own. A man with strong opinions
and a strong will to enforce them.
A man conscious of his country 5
dignity and power or capacity to
cope with all conditions. Aman who
measures the greatness OF the repub-
lie by the protection it gives to the
humblest citizen. A man whose
clear vision pereeives the causes and
whose steady Judgment determines
the remedy, for the public ills. A
man who will lay strong hand of
authority upon the vast interests
| dominating the moral, industrial
ana political life of the nation, and
maintain the integrity OF our institu-
tions against all their design and
encroaehments. A man who recog-
nizes no dignity greater than that of
an American citizen, no right more
sacred than that which secures to
him the full enjoyment of every OPP
portunity that a land like our own
affords. A man whose opinions do
not change with his apparel, whose
policies are not fashioned from day
to day by extraneous influences,
whose plain duty" consists not in
sanctioning the reputation of his
own counsels. We want a man OF
non-plastie mould, not conforming
his opinion to passing impressions OF
popular sentiment, as faeile in their
| abandonment rs in their advOcacv
We want man to whom right is
greater than expediency; who post
pones no duty to the demand Of
privilege, who is loved by the multi
tude, respected by the world, and
feared by those who distrust the
people"

IT seems that Arkansas delegation
let slip a magnificent opportunity
during the recent Kansas City Con
vention. At the caucus of the Ark
ansas delegation it was decided that
Attorney General Jeff Davis should
make the first speech nominating
Stevenson for Vice President. Four
members headed by former Governor
Clarke, were for Towne. Mr.. Clarke
asked Mr.. Davis not to present
Stevenson as the choice of a solid
Arkansas delegation" but to make a
general speech representation. When
this was insisted upon by the Towne
.----sA,.s.. Do F---'----'-----rs ele,-e
his intended speech, yielding, when
Arkansas was called, to Illinois for
the nomination ofStevenson. There
was some dissatisfaction among the
Arkansans with the result, as the
majority OF the delegation desired
Mr.. Davis to present Stevenson and
regarded it as a mistake to lose an
opportunity to nominate the success
full candidate.
