mistake made in the different coun-
tries by ministers who have the
charge Of the financial department
Of the State. He says they like to
calculate the sun the State gets from
the duty on alcohol, hut they should
dHdrct from It the cost to the COM
munity Of the family of the ruined
drunkard, his degenerate. infrm,
scrofulous and epileptic children, who
must have shelter. This invasion Of
alcoholism ought to be regarded by
everyone as a public danger, and this
principle, the truth Of which is icon
tastable. should be inculcatcd into
the masses, that the future OF the
world will be in the hands OF the
temperate.

MAGOON Will HAVE
military powers

Washington, Oct. 8.-Gov. Charles
E. Magoon, who left Washington Sat-
urday for Havana, will exercise in Gu.
ba all the power which was vested in
Gen. Wood when he ruled Cuba under
tk.-vitle of military governor.
Gov. Magoon will be known as the
provisional governor, but his author
itS"will be plenary and he will be sub
ject only to the orders of the president
and secretary of war.
Cuba will have the semblance of an
autonomous government and the Unit
ed States will continue to be represent
cd in Havana by an American minister
and the consuls will be at their posts.
Cuba will be represented in Wash.
irgton by minister, and the Cuban
consuls are expected to remain at their
stations.
1t is officially stated that there has
been and will be no subversion of the
Cuban constitution. BY incorporat-
ing the Plat amendment into the con-
stitution, Cuba provided for just such
an emergency as has arisen and for the
United States to intervene and restore
order, consequently, it is said, Cuba
is still to be governed by constitutional
means and by machinery such as is
provided in any community when mar
tial law is necessary.
During the occupancy of Cuba it is
not expected that the Cuban congress
will exercise any power.

news OF The WEEK
ITEMS FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF
The WORLD.
Resume of the Less Important,
Though Not Less Interesting
Happenings Throughout the
World, Given in a Condensed
Form.

The armored cruiser North Carolina
was successfully launched Saturday
at Newport News, Va.
A report is current in Washington
that Senator Platt, of New York. in
tends to resign his seat in the senate.
Not much credence, however, is placed
in the report.
The bureau of statistics of the de-
partment of commerce and labor has
issued bulletin concerning the COM
merce of Cuba, showing that it aggre-
gates over 5000, 900, 900 per year.
At New York last week, Martin
Sheridan, of the Irish American Ath-
letic Club, broke the worlds record ia
throwing the discuss, the new mark
being 1873 feet, 8 inches. His best
previous throw was 1875 feet, 5 inches.
Two of Ireland's most influential
and eloquent representatives in parlia-
ment, Messrs. Kettle and Hazleton,
are to visit America at the invitation
of the Irish League of the United
States. They will sail shortly for New
York.
A Washington dispatch says it is I'M
derstood that Lloyd Griscom, now
ambassador to Brazil, is to be trans
ferred to st. Petersburg in place of
Ambassador Meyer when the latter
becomes member of the presidents
cabinet.
An emphatic official denial of the
reported betrothal of Grand Duke
Michael, brother of the czar, and
Princess Patricia, niece of King Ed
ward, has been issued at London. The
report is also denied from St. Peters
burg.
The loss by fire in the United States
and Canada during the month of Sep
TENDER, as compiled by the journal of
Commerce Bulletin, aggregated $lO,-
S52, $50, or about $3,000,O0O below
the record of the same month in 1905.
The nine months losses by fire now
reach the sum of $500, OO7, $50, a figure
never before equalled in the history
of the country.

CONTRACT FOR CANAL
lsthmian Commission Will Soon Publish
Specifications.

Specifications.
Washington, ct. Git has finally
been decided that the Panama canal
will be completed by contract. In a
few days the isthmian canal commits
sion will make public statement set
ting forth Its reasons for favoriug the
contract system, and at that time a
form of contract will also probably
be published, showing exactly the sort
of document believed by the commits
sion to lee necessary for safeguarding
the work.
President Roosevelt is known to sup
port the commission in its position
that the work can be done better
by contract than by the government.
He had a long conference with Chair
man Shonts yesterday on the subject
and the various arguments in favor of
the contract system were discussed.
This change in building the canal
will in no way affect the employment
of Chinese labor. Proposals for fur
nishlng Chinese labor were made under
such conditions that they can be trans
ferred to contractors, and the terms
can be fulfilled in such manner that
the government can give the coolies
just as much pay as if the government
were the direct employer.
President Roosevelt still intends to
visit the isthmus this fall, and unless
there be some change for the worse in
the Cuban situation will probably
leave for Colon short time after the
election.

NEW TOWN ON CRAY'S BAY
Hill Said to Have Plans for Metropolis
at Mouth of Columbia River.

Portland, Or, Oct. 8.-A Seattle
special to the Oregonian says:
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific have purchased all the land
surrounding Grays bay and will build
the town of st. James at that point,
l6 miles inside the Colum bia river bar.
This is to be the terminus of the Hill
extension from point south of Kelso
westward toward the Pacific and the
town, Hill announces, will be the ul-
innate metropolis of the Coast.
As much as possible of the foreign
shipping over the Hill lines will be
diverted to this metropolis and there
will not at any time be given an op
portunity for spectators to interfere
with the plans for building a town.
Original plans of the railroad contem-
plated town on Tillamook bay and
trans-shipment from that point to San
Francisco, but property owners at
Hampton wanted too much money, so
Grays bay was chosen.
Soundings and surveys of water and
land have been completed and Grays
bay is TIC be the new townsite.
