Yegetetion is a fornight in advance
of last year; spring seeding was never
more satisfactorily carried out than ie,
has been this spring, and farmers, not-
withstanding the low prices of wheat,
are more hopeful than they have been
in. ten. years peat. The business outlook
is exceedingly encouraging.

Whiskey informers at Fort William
have succeeded in securing convictiens
against a number of local hotel -keep-
ers. But the magistrates, in imposing
fines on the hotel men, also fined the
inforna.irs for making the illegal pur-
ohases on which the information of the
latter was based. If this sort of thing
is to continue the informing industry

Manitoba hard brings a higher price
than any other grain sold in the Eng-
lish market. It fetches ten cents more
zhan Indian and five cents above that
•exported from Argentine • The super-
iority ef Manitoba wheat is due to the
-cold climate in which it is grown. The
Prairie Province will always enjoy this
Detural advantage over her southern
.competitors, and this is the main reason
why, wren with Egypt, Argentine and
India as competitors, wheat growing tn
thau part of Canada -will never cease to
be profitable.

nt Hotel
Rmployeki
NEW OnmeANs, April 30. -The impos-
ing front of the St. Charles hotel, with its
spacious porticos surmounted by a dome
of majestic dimensions and classic archi-
tecture in the centre of the block, is all
that is left standing of the moet famoas
hostelry in the United States; within
whose walls Jefferson Davis, Judah P.
Benjamin and the other leaclino figures of
the Confederacy- formed the fiat plans for
the establishment of a new republic be-
fore they started for Richmond; where no
less thau six congressional committees
have sat trying to solve what became
known as the Louisiana question after the
war, and where' Presidents, Kings and
notabilities frotn every nation on the face
of the globe who have visited New Orleans
have been sheltered.
The fire, which raged within its walls
all Saturday night, started in the kitchen.
The flames ate their way along the wood-
work with amazing rapidity, and, owing
to the inability of the firemen to get at
them, it soon beoame manifest that their
efforts woulcl prove futile. The hundred
or more guests had about all retired, and
though many had been awakened the night
clerk sent messengers to every room oc-
cupied, and. thus there was no possibility
of any of them having been out off from
escape, as the flames did not reach the
main portion of the Structure for fully
half au hour after the fire was discovered.'
Panic seized them, however, and they
rushed about frantically, most of them in
their night clothes, and although there
was ample opportunity to get down the
broad stairway it took the efforts of the
cooler heads to prevent the most impetuous
trona throwing themselves from the second,
third and fourth storey windows. The
only man who did ju.mp from a window
was an uuknown man, who dropped from
a third -storey window to A shed, but was
not injured, 'as he got up and walked of.
John Riley, a banker, occupied a room
on the fourth story of the rear portion of
ehe building. A spiral stairway leclsfrom
this part of building to the court be-
low. Riley gained. the stairway after pass-
ing through the flames which swept past
his floor, but tumbled and fell. lie
caught hold of some broken bannisters at
the third storey after he had rolled partly
off the stairway. He attempted to pull
himself up but was unable to do so, and
fell with a creel upon the stone pavements
beneath. He lived scarcely a minute.
Three employes of the hotel are missing.
The hotel register was saved and all the
gueste are accounted for.
The total loss on the fire will reach half
million dollars and may go over that
amount. '
THE COAL MINERS' STRIKE.
President McBride Estimates That Over
152,000 Men Are Now out..
Commtsus, Ohio, April 28. -The follow-
ing estimate of the number of miners now
out on the strike given out by President
McBride yesterday, shows that the miners
are gaining strength : Alabama, 8.000;
Tennessee and Kentucky, 6,000; Indiana,
5,000 ; Ohio, 26,000 ; West Virginia,
4,500 ; Illinois, 28,000 ; Iowa, 1,300;
Indian Territory, 2,000; Missouri, 4,500;
Pennsylvania, 65,000; Colorado, 1,500;
Michigan, 800. Total, 152,000.
In this estimate McBride does not in-
clude the accessions in the Indian Block
field and in Illinois. The principal addi-
tion is made in Pennsylvania, where he
estimates 65,000 men are now idle.

Gold in the Rainy River Valley.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 80. -United
States Consular Agent Wiley at Port
Arthur, Ont., reports great excitement in
the Lake Superior regions over the Rainy
River gold discoveries. Five thousand
people are waiting for the ice to break up
in order to go in. Nearly all the new
claims taken up on the American side are
contested. Consequently the greatest part
of the mining work and . attention of
capitalists will be attracted to the Cana-
dian side of Rainy Lake and up the Seine
River, where quanez veins carrying free
gold have been located. Sam Gilman, a
son of the Governor of Minnesota, has
sold a half interest in a Canadian claim
for $4,000 cash. Capitalists from New

An Points on the Great Northern Railway
West of St. Paul Tied Up.
ST, PAUL, April 28.-Preeisely at noon
the Great Northern strike went into effect
at St. Paul and Minneapolis and "at all
points on the line from this city to the
coast. The Eastern Minnesota is also ia-
volved. Within five minutes after the
committee had arrived at the decision to
call all the men out the order had been
sent out by President Debs aud the fight
is now on in the dead earnest. The com-
pany claims that it has sufficient men now
in its service who teill remain at work
while the American Railway Union asserts
just the contrary,
"The committee takes the ground," said
Mr. Debs in an interview, "that having
appealed against a wrong that was inflicted
upon them the men should not be asked to
arbitrate. A positive and definite injus-
tice has been done them and they ask to
have this rectified. It does not admit of
arbitration"

The Mystery of the Illahatmas.
Lognom April 27. -Mr. Thomas Stevens,
the American, who rode around the world
on a bike, micl on horseback through Rus-
sia, is soon expected home from India. In
a private letter to a friend in London he
says he has been investigating the myster-
ies of the afehatmas, and. that by the aid.
of his camena and his ingenuity he has dire
'covered the eecrets of those miracles of the
Fakirs which have puzzled the world 'ever
since Marco Polo told of the wonderful
things done by the magicians of Kuban
Kahn. According to tradition and the re •
peated tales of travelers the Togi or Fakirs
of India tome secret knowledge of certain
forces of nature by which they can pro-
duce phenomena as inexplicable to western
sciences as the miracles of the Bible. Mr.
Stevens has put these oriental modern
miracles to a practical test and claims to
have secured some remarkable results. He
hopes to return to America during the en-
suing summer.

WASHINGTON, Muy 1. --Gen, Coxey,
commander in•ohlef ot the army of in-
vasion, was at the Capitol yesterday, and
immediately upon his arrival went to the
room of the sergeant -at -arms to have a
conference with that official. Col. Bright
was uot in his office, and while awaiting
his return Coxey talked freely about his
programme.
" We Will have our parade to -morrow,"
said Coxey, and vee will come upon the
Capital groonds. Nobs I will say, as a
parade, but as private citizens. I have.
learned that there is a statute preventing
parades of any kind on these grounds, and
we have kept the law up to this time and.
do not propose to break it now. We will
march to the grounds, it being our pro-
gramme to reach them at noon, when we
will disband, and, after making a speech,
we will assemble at the peace monument
aud march back to our camp."
In the further course of his talk, Coxey
said his army would reivain until his two
bills were passed, and under the very roof
of the capitol. lie again made the pre-
diction that his bills would be passed with
in two weeks after he had made his formal
demand. When the suggestion was made
that he might run afoul of a snag if he
attempted to make his speessia on the steps,
Coxey only replied with a smile, that he
intended to sneak His object in coming
to the capitacwas, he said, to formally ask
for/permission, and if it was not grantee'
he would exercise the right that belongs to
'every American. Subsequently Coxey
saw the sergeantsat-arms of the Senate
and House. The ,conference was in private.
Coxey made his request, and the only re-
ply of the officials was to poiat to the law
which forbide the acts Coxey contemplates.
Coxey, receiving no satisfaction from
these officials, left with the intention of
asking the Speaker Of the House and the
Vice President for permission to speak,
declaring that permission or not he in-
tended to mount the steps and address the
people.
THE MURDER OF GIBBS.
Buffalo's Sensational Tragedy Promises
Some Interesting Developments.
BUFFALO, N.Y., May 1. -The murder
of Lawyer Gibbs on Saturday evening con-
tinues to be a mystery. The general ac-
cepted theory is that Lawyer Gibbs was
enticed to the spot by appoiutment and
there murdered by some woman he had
wronged, or by some woman's husband or
lover. A story is current that a young,
good-looking and pronainent society
woman met Gibbs a few days previous to
his death and gave him an excited tongue-
lashing on Main street.
. Gibbs was well-known. He was a
native of the city, had spent about all his
life here and for half a dozen years had
been engaged in newspaper work as re-
porter, city editor and in other journal.
istic capacities; had formed a very exten-
sive line of acquaintances, and for the
past five or six years has been a lawyer,
devoting his legal business principally to
real estate questions. And yet-. while he
•had so many acquaintances, there were
few if any who could truthfully call him
friend. arra
Traces of a woman's foot prints have
been discovered by the police on the soft
ground. But a later discovery shows that
the murderer, man or woman, must have
crossed the lawn in front of the house
nearest to the spot where the murder was
committed. running to the rear and then
over a wall and fence and out through
another honse yard into Bryant street,
showing that the murderer was perfectly
familiar with the locality and. k.new the
way. The fence climbing and route of
escape discredits the theory that it was a
woman who did it.

There is ft, sport within Our teem -
(
At /NIA as r. 13. says),
Who keeps his dogs from year te year
13at his taxes -never pays,
or whoa ear 'eoseor comes around,
The dogs are chasing 'Ilarv.z
And When the tweak' men is aeon,
The dogs again depart.
And s"Old Bob" hos wovkgcllus rsansiZ
For years past out and in,
And neeer paid, a blooming Sax
But saved his precious tin,
Now, T. li.erLin, show 'Old Bel)
-Altho' he neechet brag-, e

And inaugurate the 'tom.'"
Then Toni Said tO hit counothnen-

Won't y ou agree with Me
That ail dog ewners, hatborers,
Silall heneeforth pay a fes;
That no hounda then may hunt the stair
Unless they wear the '0. B.' tag
we'll make the fee a single dollar
And 'Me and Will' will scathe collar.
The Coattail sat in deepest thought
As to whether tags or not be bought ;
Then William with a wioked matte
Like that old serpent of the Nile,
Said : "Gentlemen all 1 (Lai bo agree'
With what's been said by T. B. 0,"
And Thee 1eave to put *his motion
For allwho are of T. Ws notio14,0-
"That we forthwith euipower(Urbeeli
To snare all dogs 'within his reach,
And put them in the Village pound
Unless on them a tag is found
Then if not by tho next two days
Ohs costs and tax the owner ears,
They shall then strike a fatal ena
Csoause they wear no Mystic tag.'
T.I3, and Taylor talked and Parried
But after ail the motion carried,
Now William knows as well as 1
That when T. 33. again does trY
To poll next year the °hie vote
This tag will stielt iu "Old Bob'e" throat;
And he and all his hounds will try
To land poor Thomas hitch and dry.
