WRECK or THE MAINE
FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF SHIPS
 DESTRUCTION
The Wreck Decorated With Floral Offerings All the Speakers Urge Cooperation in Work ing Out Cuba's Destiny

Havana-Four hundred Americans
 observed the fifth anniversary of the
 destruction of the Maine, proceeding
 to where the Maine now lies with a flag
 draped with crepe and wreath which
 was hung on the wreck as tribute to
 those who lost their lives in the dis
 aster. Representatives of the Cuban Veterans association took part in the ceremony ard brought the finest of all
 the floral offerings.
 The exercises were purely memorial,
 references calculated to revive animos-
 ities being avoided.
 The United States legation was not represented, United States Minister Squiers holding that -any possibility of string up the feeling of the Spanish residents by public exercises commem- orative of bitter incident to the war ought to be avoided. The Cuban gov ernment officia finally decided not to attend, but government launch ac- companied the procession to the wreck. United States Consul Springer and some representatives of the United States army were present.
 A United States quartermaster' launch led the way to the wreck, fol- lowed by two small steamers loaded with Americans and numerous little craft. All about the harbor American and Cuban flags were flying at half mast. The strains of the dead march played by the band of the United States artillery corps floated across the water as the procession made its way to the Maine. After completing the decoration of the forlorn wreck the boats clustered around the quarter launch, the awning deck of which was utilized as q platform. After prayer offered by Rev. MT. McPherson, General Nunez, the gov srnor of Havana province, who also is ] the president of the Cuban Veterans spoke in Spanish to the effect that the Cuban veterans would lever permit such an occasion to pass without tesifying their regard for those yEom the Cubans were proud to regard IS comrades.
 Ernest Conhant delivered the me- norial address. He paid tribute to he victims but commended the mutual expect now existing between those vho for brief period fought each ther, and in his reference to the late ldmilal Sampson, the speaker eulo- ized the Spanish admiral Cervera.
 Other speakers urged the cooperation f Cubans, Spaniards and Americans n working out Cuba's destiny. The ceremony concluded with the sounding f "taps."

R. C. DUN'S MONTHLY REPORT
The Trade Conditions for January in
 Southern California

Trade and industrial movement
 throughout the country continues at
 high pressure. Very heavy transac- tions in merchandise reported at trade centers, the spring trade being of larger volume and earlier than any previous year.
 Railway earnings during January were nearly 10 per cent larger thon last year.
 In our immediate district prospects for the year have been materially i'm. proved by copious rainfall.
 The rain came at an opportune time and Southern California has been inn measurably benefited. The hay crop is assured and with rain early in March the grain crop will be large. Beet planting has already begun at Chino. A large acreage is expected to insure a long campaign this season for all the factories.
 The orange crop is in a good con- dition. The fruit is of superior size, the yield unless unfavorable con ditions arise, will reach, if not exceed, 20, ,000 carloads. The market at pres ent is dull. The cold weather of the east has caused an accumulation of fruit. Growers are firm in their ideas of high prices and packers are not buy ing much fruit and just now shipments are light for this season of the year. Packers who bought heavily in Janu- ary have in most cases made serious losses.
 Decduous fruit trees and vines are developing finely.
 Early peaches are budding in some sections.
 The bean market is slow at present. Eastern shipments have been heavy. Balance of crop is firm ill holders hands, choice stocks tending upward.
 Dried fruits are more active. Ap- pricots have advanced in price. No. ? now held at 5 cents Stocks remain ing on tE" coast are in strong hand. Spring demand ought to clean them lp closely.
 The rasin market is firm. Six cents for ? crown in bulk. 61a cts. for 3 ,rowns. cents for crowns. Only .bout $50 carloads reported remaining n the state.
 Renewed activity is reported from III Southern California oil fields. is drawing heavily upon tocks and further advance in price If crude oil is expected.
 Locally wholesale trade is exceed ngly good and retail business active n some lines being stimulated by he usual pre-stock taking clearance ales.
 Building continues active. Improve Gents authorized for month aggregated eaily two million dollars.
 Failures for month-siX. Liabilities, 25, 700. Assets, $l4,25O.
 Failures for January, 1902-nine. $19,000. Assets, $l4,000.

IMPORTANT DOINGS OF THE SEN
 ATE AND HOUSE
A Few Items to Suit Our Busy Readers Who Have Not the Time to Peruse Lengthy Ae- counts of Space Writers.
MONDAY.


 House and Ireferred to the Committee on Judiciary. The Army Appropria- . tion Bill was sent to conference, Messrs. Proctor, Quaries and Cockrell being named as conferees.
 . The following bills were passed {: Senate bill establishing life-saving station at Cape Nome, Alaska; also extending the Thirteenth Life-saving District to Alaska.
 A bill to authorize an advance of $G, 1000, ,000 to the District of Columbia was defeated by 95 to 66.
 The conference report upon the De- partment of Commerce Bill was pre- sented by Mir. Hepburn and ordered printed.
 A partial conference report on the bill tor a union station in Washington was agreed to, after which MT. Morrill, of Pennsylvania moved that the House recede from it's amendment to the bill, which reduced the appropriation for the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio railroads from $l l,500, 900 to $l,- 900, ,000, but his motion was defeated by S7 to 107. The bill was then sent back to conference.
 TUESDAY.
 1t would seem pretty certain that congress will make an appropriation for an office building connected with the capitol, which will allow each senator and representative to have seperatc office. In introducing the sundry civil appropriation bill, Mr. Cannon said that at the proper time he would move two amendments, one to provide for the purchase of site and the erection | of three-story 400-room office build | ing, and an appropriation Of $2, 300, ,000 to carry out the original plaIs tol beautifying and enlarging the main wing Ot the capitol.
 The conference report on the general staff bill was agreed to by the senate.
 The president is already receiving pressing requests for positions to be created when the depar tment of com merce bill is passed.
 The statehood bill again came up in the senate and Mir. Morgan of Alabama spoke on it for some time. ~ WEDNESDAY,
 Somewhat unexpectedly the Alaskan boundary treaty was ratified by the senate in executive session without any marked opposition. To be sure, MT. Teller said that he considered the boundary too well defined to make it matter of dispute, and Mir. Mason re- ! marked that he considered the prece- dent nn-American, but tha. was all. :The senate agreed to the conference report on the department of commerce bill, which is equivalent to its pas sage and it now zoos to the president for lis signature.
 Appropriations for the new office building, 3,1OO,O0o, and $2,5OO,OO0 for completion of the capitol were or dered inserted in tie sundry appropria- tion bill " the h,,se. Thus is prac- tically assured ,other magnificent architectural adornment of the national capitol.
 MT. Dewey spent some time in talk inp against the statehood bill, taking the opport tunity to attack the Mormon church, and said the anti-polygamy section of the statehood bill was a sham.
 THURSDAY.
 With the exception of few minutes

ate was behind closed doors. Mir Petus asked that the vote by which tie Alaskan boundary treaty wa. ratified be reconsidercd, but by vote of 36 to 25 the motion was tabled Then the Panama treaty was taken ul and Mr. Morgan made an extended speech in which he strongly opposed 2 number of sections of the treaty. Mir. Cullom offered some explana. tions and Mir. Moran said he had not concluded, but Mir. Quay objected to yielding any more time to the detri- ment of his pet measure, the state- hood bill. Notice of further amend ments were given and at 5:25 D. m. the session closed.
 The house agreed to the conference report on the bill to create general staff in the army.
 Considerable criticism was called out in the house over an item in the appropriation bill of $6O,00O for the refurnishing of the White House. MT. Gaires thought there was too much entertaining done; he did not believe the people should be taxed for these "endless chain entertainments.
 FRIDAY.
 Serious consideration was given to the status of the Panama canal treaty by the cabinet and it was decided to urge its advocates in tLe senate to wage an aggressive fight for its early ratification.
 The commissioners to be appointed under the terms of the Alaskan boundary treaty have been already selected and the public announcement of their names is daily expected.
 The Elkins antitrust bill passed the house by vote of 24l to 6, the latter all heinz Democrats.
 MT. Depew resumed his speech in to the statehood bill in the senate, paying especial attention to the -polygamy section. In the course of his denunciation of the Mor- mons he quoted quite freely from an alleged address by one Bishop Lunt of the Mormon church. He must nave been surprised when Mr. Raw ins interrupted to inform him that le had been imposed upon. There never was bishop named Lunt and he Mormons had long ago repudiated .e address in question.
 During the debate in the house Mr. jochrane characterized A statement, y Mir. Hepburn as "deliberate lie." Contrary to custom, this strong apguage had no sequel.
 SATURDAY..
 Without preliminary business the ouse today went into committee of he whole and resumed the considera- ion of the sundry civil appropriation ill.
 The bill was passed and the house hen proceeded to the consideration of rivate pension bills. The senate convened at l o'clock oday and immediately afterwards greed to the amendments made to the ,lkins anti-rebate bill by the house. he amendments were accepted on notion of MT. Clapp of the committee II interstate commerce and without iscussion. This completes congress ional action upon the bill and it now oes to the president.

The Cha m pion Deer Story.

Jack Reed, sixteen years of age, an
employee at the Basin farm, Brandon,
started Thursday deer hunting. Shoul-
dering his rifle he disappeared in the
woods that clothe the mountains in that
vicinity and failed to appear again Fri
day night. Saturday came and went
and no Jack. Sunday morning, while
Mr.. Waters, proprietor of the Basin
farm, was standing in his house yard
conversing with a neighbor, the long
absent Jack appeared from a nearby
thicket and advanced toward the two
men. The boy was in plain view of the
two men, who were surprised to see him
suddenly point his rifle and fire at some
thing hidden from them by the house,
and were still more surprised when the
boy dropped his gun and came rushing
toward them waving his arms and shout
ing at the top of his voice. Without
stopping to explain he disappeared in
the house to reappear with huge carv-
ing knife. The men hastily followed in
wild run toward an orchard lying at
the rear of the house. Here fat three
pronged buck lay kicking, which after
being dressed tipped the scales at 100
pounds. Such are the curiosities of
deer stalking-to tramp the hills for
three days without so much as the sight
of fresh track and return to bag the
game in ones own yard.
