Customs House Officials
Feared Cuban Gift Stolen

NEW YORK. Feb. ff.-For a half hour
last evening there was reason TO be-
hove that Miss Alice Roosevelt would
never see the magnificent $1,000 diamond
necklace voted To her by the Cuban
government.
Customs house officials. the agents OF
the White Star line and the heads of
the American Express Company sus-
peCted that the costly bau5ie had been
stolen from Il box IN which II was Delng
brought to this country on the steam
ship Majestic, and quietly smuGgled
away under the very noses of the purser
and other officers of the ship.
Box Tempered With.
When the package supposed to con-
tain the necklace was handed TO Custom
House Inspector Moore. directly after
the ship warped inc the dock. he made
the discovery that The blk had been
tempered with, and was under weight
Several of the seals were broken and
the cords Were out Of place Without
-sfstlting 10 investigate the inspector i'm
Tediately communicated with the Gus
toms house and the box was rushed
with all speed to the Offices OF the Amer
lean Express Company. to a branch
house of which concern the necklace had
be,n entrusted for shipment by the Par
isian jewelers. who made L for the
Cuban government
Less Weight of Jewels.
When put on the scales in shc private
oHce of Manager Barrie. il was found
that the box was one pound and half
shcTt IN weight. and as that was the
estimated weight OF the necklace, there
was open conviction Tor A while that the
circIet had really been stolen or lost in
some WHY.
II being no time To use halfway meas
uTeS, the authorities violated all prece-
dent by ripping The box open. Their re-
lief was intense when q smaller box, in
which the jewels are alleged to nave
been safely discovered, was on the In
side.
The loss I'm weight was later explained
al due to an error in ;he scales, which
were generally used TO weigh bulkier
parcels. The box with the necklace WIS
accordingly sent on to the Cuban min
lister, the CousiEnee, at Washington.
The necklace arrived in Washington
this morning. The Cuban minister ex-
amined the package. addressed TO him
by the manufacturers III Paris. and at
ter photOgra phing il, went To the White
House to present It.
There are siXty-one pearls Of large
size perfectly matched and set in
string. The clasp is set with diamonds
A special messenger brought the neck
lace from New York to the GeOTget own
custom house From there. II was i'm
mediately sent TO the Cuban legation.

ATTRACTIONS or WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Returns fer the
Year 1900.

The manner in which the Canadian
west has attracted settlers In recent
years has caused many Of our journal,
ana public men 10 sit Up and take no
uce'' 70 use a current phrase. From
every European country and from al.
most every State IN the Union large
number OF settlers have fiocked 10 the
prairie provinces OF Canada. where
Tree homesieads and wide emporium
lies are open TO all who desire TO
avail themselves Of them.
The greatest factor in attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richness
OF soil and suitability Of climate for
producing what is universally consis.
cred 10 be the finest wheat in the
"orld-the No. Hard" OF Canadian
] ero~th-and other cereals that rank
IN the very first class This wear the
harvest returns were: Wheat %
100000 bushels: oats. 10000 600 hush.
els; barley. 100000 bushels: and
when II is considered that the entire
population Of the three provinces-as
evidenced by the quinquennlal census
Just completed-is only $4,000. II fs
easily seen that the lure OF the Cana
dan West is in its agricultural poten-
tialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction is
proceeding with such rapidly that al.
most every district is within easy
reach Of outside markets, and that
good prices for all lines Of farm prod
ucts rule practically from the COM
mencement OF agricultural operations
This Is factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements in the
West were made in Canada and in the
United States and has given a great
impetus 10 Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years.
The free grant system OF home
steads which prevails in the prairie
provinces. by which every settler who
IS able and willing TO comply with the
conditions OF actual settlement (bv no
means onerous) is given l6O acres
free. except $40 for entry. is a great
drawing card. and in the last fiscal
year gathered in over $4,000 addi-
ional TO the western population. OF
which t7.7s6 were from the United
States.
The further fact. as is strongly
brought about by the agent OF the
canadian Government. whose address
appears elsewhere. that splendid
common school system. practically
rec. prevails throughout the entire
and is easy Of access in even
he most remote districts. is another
'reat inducement TO the settler who
las the future welfare Of his family
mind. and this. coupled with the ,
act that western Canadian law and ,
rider are proverbial. completes a 7
ircie OF good and sufficient reasons
Thy the tide Of immigration has set
so steadily toward the country to :
be north OF our boundary line. :
