This issuo was less than 1,000. “I have great hopes for the early de velopment of the mining industries of Santiago province with its wonderful rich deposits of iron, copper and z.no ores, which are bound to add to tho prosperity of tho island.” General Wood expects to proceed to Washington this afternoon.

Tlicnn Fiery 10y«-«l, Rnror Toothed | l.lttie IlenstN Are ICffootlvo AVhere | Triipa uiitl Poison Fall—They Are Cicnernlly Worked With n Miiaaie. ! Ni$ ANNUAL MESSAGE Document the Longest Ever Written by Him. . “Weasels and fiiTefs," said a pro fessional rat ealelicr, “arc about the same thing. The imported ferrets trained to ihe business arc larger than flu* weasel, that is all. Alter 1 am through with rat catching I use my fer rets to hunt rabbits out of brush piles, hay and straw stacks, which is a prof itable business when rabbits are plenty. What you call rabbits over here we in lOnghuul call hares. “When a man once fiir.iti: in as a professional rat catcher and gets to understand training and working fer rets, there is such an attraction in the trade that he never willingly gives it up. It's a profitable business without too much competition.” “Do the ferrets ever bite youV’ "It’s a very careless and awkward man that gets bitten by a trained fer ret. When cue is bitten by an enrag ed ferret, the bite is of a very severe character, extremely painful and slow to heal.” As the rat catcher talked a G-month- cld ferret, his fiery little eyes gleam ing like living gems, was crawling over his lap and trying to get in under his coat. “This fellow,” said ihe rat catcher, “is as gentle as a kitten and likes to have his buck rubbed and to be 1 caressed as wi ll as any cat you ever saw. When the ferret bites a rat's neck, he knows exactly what he is do ing, and ids front teeth, cutllng like razors, go right through the jugular. “Of course we generally muzzle them when we send them in after rats, and we always muzzle them when we send them in after rabbits. If their teeth wore at liberty, they would kill the lirst rat or rabbit they met and would remain in the hole sucking its blood. Wlien we put a ferret into a house aft er rats, we stop up all the holes at the outside of the house except one or two. Over these we place bags, and the fer rets, driving the game before them, run the rats into the bag's. Wo keep the ferret without Ids ordinary meals before using him, and this makes him keener in ids chase. “It's mighty easy to spoil a ferret. After a young ferret has been badly bitten by a rat, as sometimes happens, you can’t get him to go into a hole muzzled. But when a ferret is full grown and has tiie skill ami courage that he should have he is a holy terror to rats and is a valuable animal. I would not sell a well trained ferret for v ; o0, the price of a good horse. Such a ferret I should he willing to put in a pit with oO rats, and he could in a short time kill every one of them. Rats are great fighters when they are cornered, blit no other animal of the same size has as much courage as a ferret or weasel. “In England the hugest ferrets are called polecat ferret.-; and are a cross of the two animals, which are much alike. In this country the word pole cat is applied to the skunk, an entirely different animal. The word polecat is supposed to be an abbreviation of 1‘olisb cat, and the animal abounds all over Europe. The mink Is much like the weasel, except that it is larger, and many depredations that are at tributed to the weasel are committed by the mink. All these animals prowl by night, and they frequentiy go many miles in starch of food, even coming into towns and the suburbs of cities.” Audubon, who was a close student of nature, was delighted with Hie weasel, or American ferret. Its long, lli'xible body, its extraordinary length of neck, the closeness of its fur, its keenness of scent, its wonderful agili ty and quickness of movement, all ex cited his admiration. An American writer says: “The com mon weasel has sometimes been caught and carried off by large hawks and owls. Sorry was the experience of the captor in such cases. II* has caught a Tartar. The captive will bite into the sides of the enemy, so that both will fall to the ground, the bird mortally wounded and the weasel usu ally comparatively unhurt. * * * The weasel's courage in defending it self when attacked by birds of prey is universally admitted, nor is it deiicient in tierce opposition to dogs and even men when its nest is invaded by ei ther. It usually kills for food, biting through the head into the brain with such expertness that its victim can scarcely utter a cry of pain. It usually eats the brain first; then the rest of the body follows. In pursuing mice, rats and moles it follows them into their runs or holes. * * * A weasel’s proximity to a poultry yard is not to be desired. But in barns, hayricks and grain stacks it is decidedly ad vantageous, as it will surely extemi- nate or drive away rats ami mice.” The weasel’s characteristics are not ed in two American sayings, "Catch a weasel asleep” and “Sooner trust a weasel with eggs.” Stories are told that a weasel will watch a hen on the nest for an hour, waiting for a freshly laid egg.—Indianapolis News. A Frcnli of the tnii:vr. A curious ease of lightning destruc tion took place at Gatchina, an im perial summer residence not far from St. Petersburg, where stood a stone column o0 feet high, held together by iron angles. When rain fell, more or less water pontrated tiie stones in the interior of the monument. One day it was struck by lightning, and Inst otly the whole column disappear'd from view, killing a lone sentry on guard.

A FORECAST OF CONTENTS New Dependencies him! the Financial tjnestion the Most Important Fea tures, While the Peace Conference, Samoa and China Are Mentioned. Washington, Nov. 20. — President McKinley’s third annual message to congress is now practically complete. Only such changes and additions ur. de velopments in the Philippines and eLo- where during tho next few days neces sitates will be made. It was read at ' yesterday’s cabinet meeting. It is tho j longest message over sent to congress : by President McKinley, comprising ' more than 20,000 words. The most important features of the message relate to the now dependencies and to the financial question. Tho es- ieutial features on those topiss were thus outlined today by a member of the cabinet: Sovereignty is to be established throughout the Philippines and to bo permanently maintained. Civil gov ernment is to Lo extended throughout tho islands as rapidly as possible on lines somewhat similar to tiie arrange ments effected for the government of tho island of Negros. Attention is invited to tho report of tho Philippine commission as to why it is impossible for the United States to part with tho islands and as to the great commercial advantages in holding them. Civil government in Cuba under mili tary control is recommended until koiuo | substantial progress has been made ! through the medium of ruff rage toward the establishment of an independent form of government. Attention is called to tho fact that tho census will not bo completed until Dec. 1, and as tho Spaniards have, under the treaty, until April next to decide whether they will become citizens of the island, it will not be possible until I that time to hold general elections to determine upon the future government of tho is and. The question of annex ation is, therefore, lo;c open. Great stress is laid upon the improve merit in the island during the year, not only commercially and agriculturally, but also in the sanitary condition of the cities and towns President McKinley recommends that civil government immediately replace the miii'ary in Porto Rico— a civil gov ernor to be appointed and a council or legislature to l e elected by tho people, property iin-f educational qualifications to be proscribed for voters. As to Hawaii, the president suggests immediate legislation, to put iuto effect a territorial lorm of government, and the modifuation of the need in!; bills to correspond more nearly \vi;h tho pres ent government of the isl.-.n is The Hague conference i; p iuted to with satisfaction anti a statement made that tho treaty agreed to at this confer ence will be submitted at once to the 6GI1 to. Gratification is expressed over the final sett oniont of iho Venezuelan boundary controv t.rsy. Samoa com- s in for a large share of attention, tho oxeit.rv; events ot the your are reviewed and the statement made that a treat , will soon be seat to the senate for the part it ion of t no i: lands. The president rciers to the trade sit uation in China and the v. rbal as suranccs received by this govern meat from powers having spheres of influence in that empire that American trade rights will bo respected. He also an nounces that ha has roquestod that those verbal assurances be p aeod in writing, but beyond Knifing that favor able answers are expiated, he is unable to inform congress th it he has received tho formal communications desired. SALE TO BE INVESTIGATED. Alumni Society Wiil Lank Into the Ricnt Ijiinl DeaL Montoomkry, A!a.,Nov. £0.—A joint session of the advisuty, executive and legislative committees of tho Alumni association of the University of Ala bama was held hero at which the recent sale of 4.400 acres of the university lands to the Sloss-Sheffield company at $12.E0 per acre was the subject of dis cussion. The public press has greatly agitated fhe question of tho Kale of the land and charges have been made that the sale was irregularly manipulated. The matter of the irregularity of pro ceedings of the trustees in authorizing the sale was discussed and a resolution was adopted raising a committee of five of the members of the several commit tees in tho j int session to investigate all of the facts connected with tho sale of the lauds and report to a convention of the alumni society which is called for Dec.

It was the poet Rope and not the pope of Rome that she was expeett .1 to treat upon, and when she rose and read a paper on the pope it started a row that did not end with adjournment.

The old lady gave her consent, but made a firm stipulation at the same time. “I’m willing you should run wires over my roof and hitch ’em wherever you see fit,” she said pleasantly, “pro vided you don’t use ’em after 9 o'clock at night.
