matters.
Though no ofucial statement was
made by CnCvtuau Towne, tho senti

Senator Telltr sai i ho believed tho
national silver Republican convention
would take this action He favored in
dorsement of tho Chicago platform, but
said sentiment a ■ regards this was not
unanimous, some of the members being
opposed to one or two planks. W. J.
Ilryau was generally favored. Some of
the menib rsof thocommiftoaexpressed
themselves as opposed to tho govern

planks of tlv- Democratic platform.
It is probable that at the close of tho
meeting Chairman Towne will issue an
official statement in regard to the action
taken and defining ihe policy of tho
party for tho coming campaign.

province of Santiago de Cuba, was a

“I have no knowledge of the cause
for which I am called to Washington

vice president and the flags were half-
masted on all the public buildings. His
loos is great, as ho was a strong man in
the administration. His death was
heard with profound regret at Santiago.
“The condition o; Santiago in rela

Wo employ many moil on tho public
works, such as roads, etc. The people
are emp'oyed and contented. Wo have
no destitution and excepting a period
after tho storms and hurricanes, when
the rains washed tb ) crops out of tho
ground in many pluces, we have not
issued rations. This issuo was less than
1,000.

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.
The only explanation is that the heat
of the lightning instantly generated
steam on coming in contact with some
i f tlie water, and the terriffc explosion

A FORECAST OF CONTENTS
New Dependencies him! the Financial

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

able answers are expiated, he is unable
to inform congress th it he has received
tho formal communications desired.

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

opposite seat In gun surveying her with
CTttieal eye, and she hadn't yet made

J the medical magazine was to he in-

came in for ids fare. The girl opened
her poitenioiina'e mid began to take
out latchkeys, samples of ribhon and
little memoranda in the usual way,
and the live young men s.idled, each
after his own particular eiyle. Bald-
headed was out of it. Tin' girl didn’t
see any of tho smiles, but she caught
on just Hu; same. There was a nickel
all ready for her lingers, but when one
pale faced young man added a giggle
to his smile the nickel was thrust aside
for a $2 bill. She didn’t hand it over
to tiie conductor as she fished it out;
but, leaning forward with a winning
smile on her face, she began at the
head of the line and asked.
“Will you please be so kind as to
change this bill for meV”
It was impossible. A young man
with only a dime in his pocket lias no
show to bust a bill. The next one
had a quarter, but he had to decline,
uud so it went lo No. ~>. IBs hand
sought his pocket as his tum came,
but it .didn’t bring up any change.
The smiles laid been replaced by sheep
ish looks, and they rubbed elbows and
trod <.n each other’s feet in trying to
look out of the windows. There was a
long minute id paintu! suspense*, and
then the good looking girl handed the
bill to the conductor, hue liaeln t a
word to say to the live young men who
had started out in life so gayly, hut old
baldheaded laid. hell all was over,

out:

WHY SHE RESIGNED.

“For the last year or so my wife has
been ambitious to shine as a literary
light,” said Smith, with a chuckle. “I
don’t know bow many clubs she join
ed, but if there were any that she did
not belong to it was because she had
never heard of them.
“The other night while I was read
ing my paper she interrupted me with
a request for light about something
that I did not catch except the word
pope.
“ ‘Well,’ said I, looking over my pa
per.
“ T want to know about him,’ she con
tinued. ‘1 must road a paper concern
ing him at our next literary meeting,
and I do not know a single thing about
him. Who is lie’;’
‘ ‘Do you mean to say,’ said I, ‘that
you know nothing about the head of
tiie Roman ekuivliV'
“ ‘<)!i, of course 1’ she answered. ‘Ilow
stupid of me! 1 can read all about
him in the encyclopedia.’
“I resumed my reading and thought
that ended it, but it didn't. The oth
er nk’ht when 1 ft turned home 1 found
my wife in tears, ami before i bad time
to inquire what the matter was 1 was
called to account in 17 different kinds
of k> .' S.
“Well, when the storm was over I
learned the truth. 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.
"But, seeing that she has resigned
from all the clubs and that the chil
dren once more have a chance to get
acquainted with their mother, I "do not
look upon it as a calamity.”—Detroit

Iier Objection.
A New Hampshire man wished to
have telephone connection between his
house and a new one built for his
son's summer residence. The best
route took the wire over the cottage
of an old lady, to whom he applied for
permission to make the slight use of
her roof that was necessary.
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. That’s my bedtime, and I’m
a light sleeper at best, and the noise
of folks talking overhead would be
sure to keep me awake.”—Youth’s

London, Nov. 29. —General Methuen
has defeated tho whole Boer force at

is contained in tha following dispatch
received this morning at the war office
from General Builer. It bears date of
Nov. £8:
“Rcconnoitered at 5 a. m. enemy’s

No means of outflanking, the river be

on left; attacked position in widely ex
tended formation at 6:3o and. supported
by artillery found itself in front of
whole Boer force, 8,000 strong, with two
large guns, four Krupps, etc.
“Tha naval brigade rendered great as
sistance from the railway.
“After desperate, hard fighting, which
lasted ten hours, our men without v atcr

the enemy quit his position. General
Poie-Carew was successful in getting a
small party across tho river, gallantly
assisted by 300 Saphers.
“I speak in terms of high praise of
tho conduct of all who were engaged in
one of the hardest and most trying

If I can mention one arm particularly,
it is the two batteries of artillery.”

yune sad D. A. Tompkins, a prominent
cotton mill man of Charlotte,N. C., spoke
hero last night to a largo audience on
the value of cotton mills to the south.
Thtso gentlemen came on invitation
of the citizens, who are already getting
subscriptions to a cotton factory, having
realized that it would greatly benefit
the town and community.
Their addresses were replete with in
teresting facts and figures regarding
the manufacture of cottcu and showed
to tho audience tha vase difference be
tween a pound of raw cotton and a
pound of the manufactured article.
Their earnest and able speeches made
a great impression upon our business
men nnd there is no doubt before long
a sufficient capital will be secured to
start a mill.
SINECURE FOR PATTERSON.
Tennesseean n Member of the Miiloli
Park Commission.
Washington, Nov. £9.—It has prac
tically been decided thatex-Rerref^nta-
tive Josiak Patterson of Tennessee will
bo appointed to the Shiloh park coiumis-
sionorship made vacant by the death of
Colonel Robert F. Tooney.
Representatives Sims and Brownlow
called on Secretary Root to urge the ap
pointment of some of their cousiiruems.
The secretary informed them that Col-
ouel Patterson had been slated for the
vacancy and that ho would bo appointed
if tho president did not make an objec
tion nnd that he did not think that the
latter would do so.
The commission is a desirable ap
pointment and could only be filled by a
man who had served as an officer in tho
confederate army. It pays £3,000a year,
and the duties attached aro light aiid of
a most pleasant character.

The suddenness comes when
