Extracts from an interesting letter
from P. H. Rynhard, of Starbuck.
Manitoba, Canada, gives an excellent
idea of the prosperity of those who
have gone from the United States to
Canada. He says:
81 bought, August, 1903, 4S0 acres
of land, paying $4,000 for it. We
threshed 1913 bushels Of wheat and
between 1900 and 1900 bushels of
oats and barley from 200 acres. But
part OF the wheat, went down before
filling and was not harvested except
for hay. The crop was worth at
threshing time, $4,000. Besides 1870
acres laying idle except a timothy
meadow, which is not included in this
estimate. Counting the value of the
product and the increase of value of
land will pay me more than % per

ers in the same neighborhood bought

have not done a single thing to this
land except to fence it and break and
cultivate about one-half of it. Har
vested last year % bushels wheat per
acre. This year q bushels per acre.
They can get any day $25 per acre.

A Smart Retort.

How that prince of humorists, Mark
Twain, neatly scored off a well-known
American lawyer. who endeavored to
be witty at his expense. is related by
the writer of some recent recollections
of the author of The Innocents
Abroad"
1t was at society dinner that Mark
Twain was called upon to make a
speech, which he did in his own inil:,-
table manner. On seating himself the
lawyer arose and, thrusting his hands
into his trousers pockets, as was his
habit, laughingly inquired of those
present:
Doesn't it strike this company us a
little unusual that professional hui
morist should be funny?"
When the laughter that greeted this
sally had subsidized, Mark Twain
drawled out:
Doesn't it strike this company AS a
little unusual that lawyer should
have his hands in his own pockets?"

Halifax, March g. Two great
transatlantic liners, the Partisan of
the Allan line and the Albano,
Hamburg American boat, both heavily
loaded with passengers, collided OF
the harbors entrance Saturday night
Both We're seriously damaged, but
reached their docks and landed their
passengers safely. 1t was feared at
any moment that one of the liners
would founder. Many of the passen-
gers rushed excitedly about the deck
while others knelt in prayer.
The Partisan was bound from Mo-
Vile and the Albano from Hamburg.
The Partisan had ON board a thousand
passengers and the Albano carried
about 500
Full Speed Too Late.
The Partisan arrived Off the en-
trance of the harbor at dusk and was
taking a pilot on board when the AL
bano was seen approaching from the
sea. AS the Albano approached the Of
ficers of the Partisan realized that
there was danger of a collision and
the engine rooms were signalled for

could get under way, however. the Al
bano struck her on the starboard side.
short distance astern of the engine
room, crushing in the great steel
plates and opening up hole through
which the water poured in tons.
The bow plates of the Albano were
bent and the stem was twisted, but
the water tight compartments were
promptly closed and her pumps set
vigorously at work.
Call for Help.
Both vessels whistled for help and
every tug in the harbor responded. AS
the Partisan appeared in greater
danger several tugs ranged them
selves alongside of that vessel and as
sisted in the pumping.
The passengers on board both YES
sells begged that the tug boats take
them off, but the little steamers chung
tenaciously alongside the liner and
never left her until she was safe at
her dock
Within a few minutes all the pas
sengers and crew had been supplied
with life preservers, while the life
boats were ready for instant launch
ing in case the vessels showed signs
of laundering.
Danger is Terrorizing.
The suspense of those on board the
Partisan was intense. Great volumes
of water were pouring into the YES
sci and the engines quivered with the
exertion of running numerous pumps
aud keeping the vessel at top speed.
AS the vessel came alongside her
wharf lines were thrown out. gang
panks were set and just as the pas
sengers rushed safely onto land the
stern of the vessel touched bottom.
The weather at the time of the col
1sion was quite clear. One OF the
passengers of the Partisan said:
The captain of the Partisan real
lied that his ship was in danger and
telegraphed to the engine room for

race of life and death for the harbor

en- people, who believed the captain
was going to beach her. The fifteen
miles from the scene of the accident

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DECIDES
TO 90 NOTHING FURTHER
At PRESENT.
MINISTER BOWEN is ANGRY
iNTiMATEs THAT CASTRO USED
INSULTING LANGUAGE IN
HIS REPLY.

Washington, March &c. - The as
phalt trusts complaint against Ven
ezuela was sharply checked yesterday
when President Castro fatty refused
to arbitrate the American demands
and President Roosevelt decided to do
nothing further, for the present, at
least. toward pushing the claims.
1t is officially explained that the sit
uation practically is unchanged and
that no crisis exists.
President Castro's refusal to accede
to the demand for arbitration is based
on the assertion that there is nothing
now to arbitrate. The case Of the as
phalt trust, he said, is pending in the
Venezuelan courts. where it must be
decided. as the terms Of the conces-
sion provides that all disputes shall be
settled by the local courts. To take
the case out Of the courts now and
submit it to arbitration would violate
the constitution and be an admission
that the Venezuelan courts are ig-
norant or corrupt, which he will not
admit.
Castro Contests Claim.
The claim of the Orinoco Steam
Navigation company, Castro asserts,
was settled by an arbitration tribunal,
presided over by a Dutch umpire,
which awarded the company $4,000
damages. Under the agreement pro-
viding for the arbitration of all foreign
claims it is insisted that this verdict
must be accepted as final and that the
Orinoco company is disregarding inter
national law in seeking to have the
case reopened.
President Castro's reply was dis
cussed yesterday at the cabinet meet
ing at which the do-nothing policy was
decided upon. 1t was agreed that there
was now no basis for coercive action
against Venezuela beyond the claim of
the asphalt trust that the concession
has been unlawfully confiscated.
No Rush Action.
On the other hand President Castro
contends that the suit to annul the
concession is based on failure to COM
ply with its provisions. that estab>
lished legal procedure has followed
throughout, and that it is case for
the courts to decide. To send war
ships to Venezuela before the case
finally has been disposed Of would be
to champion the cause Of the asphalt
company against the Venezuelan
courts. The president thought that
would be going entirely too far at the
present stage of the proceedings and
the cabinet members agreed with him.
Therefore, no further instructions
will be sent to Minister Bowen, though
he asked what his next move should
be. He intimated in his report that
President Castro used insulting Ian
guage in his reply, and it was evident
from the tenor of his dispatch that Mr.
Bowen expected to be at once recalled
and diplomatic relations with Ven
ezuela severed.
Bowen May Resign.
The inability of the administration
to back up Mr.. Bowen has left him in
an embarrassing position and diplo-
mats believe he will either resign and
come home. or will be wiven his pass
ports by President Castro as soon as
the latter sees that Mr.. Bowen is not
