Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Fnt William. Oiitarin. Sept. 24. HesuniinK tmr journey eastward from Winnipeg (which is l'ated on the eastern cilire of the world's Rreat wheat tielils of the future), the route proceeds through an entirely new kiiui country, wihl. rugged and with dense forests full of lakes; thinly setlleu. nui of irrent value to sportsmen and in nans of great mineral richness. For the next 4:10 miles to l'ort Arthur and Lake Superior (the eastern end of the western division of the Canadian I'a cllle railway) is a region of historic interest aside from the attractions to sportsmen. Though the buffalo no longer roams throughout this region, buying disap peared with the red man on the ap proach of the whites. Manitoba Is still the sportsman's home. The livers, uonds. lakes and rocky woods abound with an almost unlimited iiuuntitv of wild fowl such as ducks, geese, swan, snipe, pigeons, partridges, T'heusants and tuikevs. The advent of the rail load in this region of rocky woods, lakes and livers so valuable, for its mines, timber and fishing products makes a sharp contrast with the ap pearance of things when through the region's intricacies the aboriginals nnd fur traders once guided their cunoes or followed the forest trail. At numerous points as we proceed, mining, lumber, milling and llshing In dustries nre actively carried on. There are forty stations of more or less Im portance between Winnipeg and Fort Arthur, but we shall not attempt to treat these places in detail. The llsh ing places ure more numerous than the stations. The lakes and streams lire almost numberless. They are per fect aiiinriums, teeming with almost every variety of the ilnny tribe, nnd of many varieties of animals and birds for the hunter. The most enthusiastic nngler, the most persistent hunter, finds here a paradise. A WELL-WATERED COl'NTUY. My some it may be Imagined that being so far inland, Manitoba Is not a well watered country. This, however. Is the reverse of the fact, it being ex ceedingly well watered. Scattered through the province are numerous lakes and rivers, while on the eastern boundary and in the northern und northwestern part, there are such large bodies of water us the "Lake of the Woods." 1.5IM) square miles in extent; Lake Winnipeg, l.fiOO square miles; Luke Manitoba with on area of l.iintl square miles, and Lake Winnipegoosls, containing 1 .!:: square miles, while Hudson's bay some 650 to 7(H) miles to the north, is l.ooo miles long and re ceives the outflows from these mighty reservoirs and pours them in its turn into the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans The prov ince of Manitoba is nearly the same distance to Lake Superior ns to Hudson's Hay. Winnipeg, the capital, is 4;!0 miles from Fort William and Fort Arthur on Lake Superior, from which points vessels proceed direct to the Atlantic tide water at Montreal, and It is extremely probable that within a few years vessels will be so constructed, as to carry cargoes of grain direct from Lake Superior points to Liverpool and London and other foreign ports with out transhipping or breaking bulk at all. So these great grain-producing tields of Manitoba may be considered within 400 miles of the sea-board and when the railway from Winnipeg north to Hudson's bay is completed, the whole o Manitoba province will be nearer to Liverpool than Montreal is today. But we muy be digressing. EAST FKOM WINNIPEG. Leaving Winnipeg our road runs due north following the lied river for twen-ty-two miles to Kast Selkirk, a town of 2,000 population. On the west bank of this noble river (which is on an aver age over 1,000 feet in width before It seeks its way through the various chan nels of the 'Delta" to Lake Winnipeg some eight miles further north) Is Sel kirk, one of Lord Selkirk's early colon ics, nestling amid a forest of giant oaks, elms and poplars, which grow In such great luxuriance along the river bank ami stretching for a mile or two Inland, as to give to the surroundings of the town an English park-like ap pearance, remindful of Victoria. Peer ing through the foliage lies the old trading post, with a present population of 1,400, nnd some ilfty places of busi ness which do a volume of trade that would astonish some of the merchants in larger cities. First In its industries Is lumher.whleh amounts to a cut of twenty million feet annually. Next Is cord wood and rail road ties. Ten thousand cords of wood and hundreds of thousands of railwny ties are provided and annually sent by barge or during the spring freshets, or high water bv rafts, to Winnipeg. From Hon. It. LaKouche Tupper. the dominion fishery otllcer of Manitoba, the writer learned the following facts: As to the tishing industry few people are aware of the magnitude of this trade and Its value to the province. On Lake Winnipeg alone are live com panies which employ forty-three steam and sail boats and one hundred and forty men who catch nearly four million pounds of white fish annually and two thirds of this catch finds its way into the eastern markets of the United States, where they have to compete with the fresh fish sent inland from Atlantic points. From him the writer also learned that Lake Winnipeg Is and must remain for all time to come the greatest source of supply in the domin ion for white fish and not only that, the water of this lake has the least draw backs for the propagation of this and all other varieties of fish. At Selkirk Is a fish hatcherv, which produces each season fifty millions of white fish and Is carmble of produc ing one hundred millions; also ten millions of speckled and salmon trout, f-ach making one of the largest hatch eries in the world, capable of replenish ing with these delicate fish all other lakes of the dominion even where the white fish and trout have never before existed. THE TOWN OF SELKIRK Hut we must leave the fishing Indus try of Lake Winnipeg only one of the great lakes of the province and take a view of the town of Selkirk as a sum mer resort, a sort of headquarters from where the visitor can start out and return from little health-giving trips. In which scenery of both grandeur and beauty In character finding few equals Is presented to view. This town is the river point mouth of the province of Manitoba and from It, navigation for craft of deep draft Is free to the great lake north. Lake Winnipeg Itself Is 2S0 miles In length and over thirty miles In width at Its widest part. Hundreds of bays, inlets, and rlvar estuaries line its shores and Its banks are heavily wooded. It Is enjoyed by Wlnnipegers at a resort for pleasure and health eeklng. Then Its fishing furnishes an tndless round of delight for the sports men. Landing a twenty-pound picker el should satisfy any lover of piscator ial sport nnd that feat Is daily accom plished in the waters of this lake. The lied river before reaching the lake fur nishes boating of the very best, while the lake itself Is a very paradise for the yachtsman. Heavier crafts fan also test their sea going powers in this broad ntrthern basin. In short none of the great lakes of North Amenca fur nishesgreaterattractlonsfor the sports man, boatman, or yachtsman. Al though midway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and five to six hun dred miles from the Hudson Hay to the north, this Winnipeg district has as plentiful a supply of cheap and de licious tish of most all varieties of the li im y family as any locality on the continent. The great marshes, too, about the mouth of the Ked river extend for miles and form one of the largest duck grounds in the northwest and they ac tually swarm with all kinds of water fowl In their seasons. Here the sports man can shoot till his gun gets too hot to hold and even at random can kill enormous bags of choice duck. In the vicinity of Fort Alexander, at the mouth of the Winnipeg river, are moose, caribou and bear; also the same are found on the western shore of the lake and about "Hig Island" and "Orassy Narrows" uncounted Docks of wild geese resort. PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. TIesuming our Journey from Kast Sel kirk the road runs eastward over a prairle-like area. In thirty-four miles we come to Whltemouth, in a lake country, where are numerous saw mills, and at Hennie rocky woods nnd rich clover lands; at Ingulf we enter the province of Ontario. At Keewatin is the mammoth flouring mill built of granite found , on the spot. Here are the extensive newly completed works of the Keewatin Power company.which made the "Lake of the Woods" one of the greatest water powers In the world, a gigantic mill pond covering an urea of over H.000 square miles nnd capable of supplying unlimited water power for the manufacturing needs of the north west. Right In the heart of this wilder ness after n run of twelve miles is the former post of the Hudson's liay com pany of Rat Portage at the outlet of the "Lake of the Woods," when w suddenly come upon a dozen busy saw mills, their chimneys black against the sky and standing high above all these nre Immense flouring mills built of granite with a cluster of grain ele vators and warehouses about them. Rat Portage Is a divisional point of the Canadian Pacific, a city of 4."dm population lying on the borders of and the principal outlet of the Lake of the Woods. Here are line churches, excel lent school buildings, two ably con ducted weekly papers, and a live town generally. LAKE OF TIIE WOODS. This lake Is the largest body of water touched by the Canadian Pacific railway between the Pacific and Lake Superior, and Is famed for its scenery. It Is the great gateway to the new found gold fields of the so-called "Rainy District" of Ontario and Minne sota, where gold ore was discovered In large quantities In ISH4. This lake Is "studded with a thousand islands." nnd another favorite resort for sports men and pleasure seekers. Its waters break through a narrow run at both Rat Portage and Keewatin and create un enormous wnterfall Into the Winni peg river; at the former place only c yards width of land divides the lake and the Winnipeg river. Small Indeed Is that water power which built up Minneapolis when compared with this giguntic fall and series of falls on this lake. There exists through this wilderness, this chain of lakes and rivers, which make possible with small portages here and there continuous navigation for hundreds nnd even thousands of miles. Portages are points separating one sheet of water from unother where boats and goods nre transported. Through these great water highways the Indians, and Inter on the fur trad ers guided their canoes among these Intricate chnnnels. During the build ing of the Canadian Pacific railroad these inland waters served a good pur pose In transporting supplies. The rail road Is carried across several of these arms and bays of little lakes and In places there are extensive "fills." One, "Viaduct Lake." Is crossed by a cause way which took 500.000 cubic yards of earthworks to fill, says Superintendent Whyte, of the Canadian Pacific rail way. (A further reference will, be made later on.) A NORTHERN SUMMER RESORT. Rat Portage Is known as the "Sara toga of the West." Speciul trains arrive here from Winnipeg and regular trains are often held here for Sunday excursions through this Canadian archlpalego. Many who have enjoyed the sceneiy found here declare it to be unrivalled on the con tinent, far surpassing the "Thousand Islands" of the St. Lawrence In beauty and interest. Fine steamers and small craft make regular runs to Fort Fran cis and the "Rainy Oold Field Dis trict." besides other resorts, dally. Steam ferries and launches ply on the lake, too, and to and from Coney Island bathing beach. It would be difficult to conceive anything more beautiful of its kind than the scenery of this great chain of hikes. Islands rise in continu ous clusters and In every variety of form. Sometimes in passing through them the prospect seems entirely shut in. Soon again it opens out and through long vistas a glance Is obtained of an ocean-like expanse where the waters meet the horizon. In appearance this lake sprawls like a huge silver spicier amid romantic surroundings. These Islands are dotted with the summer residences and camps of Winnipeg's elite. For those who nre fond of gaz ing on the rugged grandeur of the frowning Islands of the Lake of the Woods, or Into the gaping shaft of a gold mine (for here are rich gold mines), the proprietor has a steam launch to place at their disposal, manned by courteous and competent officers, who are only too glad to obey the commands of the hotel guests. J tin Frazler Caldwell, owner of the Sultana gold mines at Rat Portag?. in formed the writer that a happy future awaited this section In gold mining operations, a fact Indicated by the steady growth of that Industry since Its discovery and by its enlisting also both English and American capital ists. The Sultana mine had a shaft lint) feet deep, drifts extending over f,o0 feet, levels, etc. The quarts is called free milling quarts; and the gold is re covered by simple stamping and amal gamation with mercury. Ten stamps recover $2,000 In pure gold per week. This is a new country, but promising. The delay in Its development is mainly due to the Dominion government dis puting the operators' rights to these gold mines. The fishing Industry Is the prominent feature here. Ten American companies employ 136 boats, 23fi nets and the value of their catch in ls!4 was $2,000,000, and this year's indications are that it will reach $4,000,000. The principal fish are sturgeon and white fish, which are largely exported to the United States. HASTENING ALONG. From Rat Portage eastward to Fort William, 293 miles, the scenery is of the wildest description and rapid rivers and deep rock bounding the lake are always In sight, but this country con tains valuable forests and mineral de posits. At Rossland, Reaver and Hawk Lake, especially, the road passes through rocky cuts, then comes a lake, then a rock cut, then a lake is divided by the road, nnd scores of these suc ceed one another. At Eagle River two beautiful lakes are seen, one above the other, below the railway. All through this wild, strange country the rivers seem always in a hurry and we are seldom out of sight of dancing rapids or foaming cataracts. Fires, too, have swept through the woods In places and the blackened stumps and dead trees with their naked branches stretched out against the sky are weird and ghost-like enough as we glide through them In the light of a full moon. ' i limn - i--..mi. mm n. i. .. AS SHE WOULD HAVE This Lake Superior section of the Canadian Pacific railway was one of the latest and the hardest of all to build, rivalling in obstructions and re quirement of skillful engineering, that through the Rocky and Selkirk moun tains. Many miles were cut through solid rock and scores of tunnels nnd innumerable rivers were crossed. At that part of the section which divides the waters of Lake Winnipeg nnd Lake Superior called the St. Lawrence and Hudson's Day systems a Hat. elevated region much difficulty was experi enced In building the railway, on ac count of "Moating muskegs," a kind of vegetable and earth covering which has formed over a lake or morass. These "sink-holes" swallowed an enormous quantity of earth anil rock. Mounted police guard the road, their stations being only fifty miles apart. Sioux Indians nre found nil along, either fishing or funning. The gov ernment has provided these Indians not only farms, but cattle and implements to work them. Resides treaty-money for every child. male or female born, the Indian receives a bounty of one dollar per head. The government nlso pro vides them churches, schools nnd teachers. These are mainly Protestant Episcopal missions. At WulKgoon, Lake Soule, and other places along these mission churches were in sight of the train. It was through this rough nnd broken country for a distance of more than four hundred miles that Lord Wolseley successfully led his army In 1S70 to suppress a rebellion on the Red rlvr and some of his abandoned boats are yet seen from the railway. At Ignace we arrive at another divisional point of the Canadian Pacific railway. At I'psala, within eighty-two miles of Luke Superior, the chain of the "Lake of the Woods" ends, making 25:1 miles of continuous bodies of water, bright, clear and cold, beside and over which our train has been coursing, culminat ing with Knkabeska Falls, where the river Kamlnlstagua a rough and mold stream foams over Its rocky bed and leaps from n height of over 200 feet, ex ceeding that of Niagara. The railway follows this river on a down grade and soon reaches the Mattewan and W'ablgoon, tributaries to Sunshine creek, where is excellent -trout fish ing. From here to Fort William, thirteen miles, the scenery becomes more diver sified and beautiful than we have yet seen and as this wide, deep nnd placid strenm emerges from a dark forest (the Kamlnlstagua) we could hardly real ize that only a few miles back it made a wild plunge from a height exceeding Niagara Itself. From here It joins the emerald waters of Hunder bay and like Superior. J. E. Richmond. WASHINGTON NOTES.

Cntil a few months ago they were at swords' point. Thev used to hate each other with a cordial hatred. Presi dent Cleveland cursed Speaker Reed for his course with reference to the bond bill In the last congress, and a year ago, when the president, by special mossage, asked congress to sit through the holidays to consider financial legislation. Speaker Reed cursed him as an old trickster. Hut last spring the two big men were brought together. They had a Joke or two nnd then tacitly dropped their Oi.l animosity ml became fast friends. During the coming winter It Is expected the speaker will be often found at the white house, Copyright, ISM, by Mitchell & Miller. APPEARED TO-DAY Life. where he has not had cordial relations for many years past. II II II Returns from the collectors of customs at New York, lloston, Haltimore and other export markets show extraordinary ship ments uf apples this year, which since the opening of the season in July have varied from Mn.otui to 17."i.ti barrels a Wfck. The total shipments up to Nov. Jlu will ex ceed 1, 7j.im barrels. This surpasses all records. The largest previous shipment:! Were during the winter of IMM-H2, when the total reached l.l.Hi.nuo barrels; but the total thus far, with several months re maining, now surpasses that high-water mark by over 3ii'I,iiimi barrels. Last year the shipments Were onlv T.'Aiiail barrels. In iv.il they were only I7I.HOJ barrels. Must of these apples have gone to Liverpool nearly two-thirds of them: IITI.niiO barrels to London, .'inii.liini barrels to (ilasgow and Ni.niiii barrels to (ierniauy, which is prac tically a new market, and by cultivation may be made very valuable, tlood apples are now selling In New York at from Jl to $1.2,1 a barrel. The present rates of freight to Liverpool are 2 shillings, or 7.1 cents, u barrel, and to Loudon H7 cents. The rate to Hamburg Is 71 cents, and to Interior points of liermany $1. Very few apples go to France. The orchards of that coun try usually furnish sulllclent for the lo. cut demand, and French apples often com pete with those from the I'nited States in the Hrltish markets. II 'I II Relative to the announcement from Ohio that Representative (irosvenor, of that state, Intends to contest will Mr. Reed for speakership of the next house of rep resentatives, William E. Curtis writes: This is construed as a challenge from President-elect MeKlnley, although It is undoubtedly true that whatever nctlon lleneral I Irosvenor will take In this anil other matters will be decided without conference with the president-elect. Dur ing the last session of congress a deter mined hostility ngainst Mr. Reed's re-election was ileveloiied. His autocratic dis position, particularly in refusing to con. slder legislation which members of the house considered necessary and proper, and his habitual refusal to recognize members upon the floor for motions which they considered reasonable and Important, made him very unpopular. If an election had taken place then he would hnve re. reived very few votes. There was a gen eral understanding that if Mr. Reed came back to the house of representatives he would not again be placed in the speaker's chair, and the opnositlon selected Rep resentative Hopkins, of Illinois, ns the most available candidate against him. Thisi action was taken without nny move ment on Mr. Hopkins' part, but was a spontaneous indorsement of his fitness for that position. .Most of the members on the Republican side who participated In the conference have been re-elected to the house, but soon after they gather here next week it will be disclosed whether they are still of the same mlml. li H II High compliments, ncconling to Wal ter Wellmnn, itre already being paid to the president-elect by leading Republican? for the tact which he is showing In getting matters In shape for his Inauguration. In these particulars Mr. MeKlnley Is ns well equipped for the presidency as If he had already served a. term In the white house WE WANT TO SAY to every man who Is not perfectly satis, lied with his furnishing store, that v.e would like to try satisfying him. If you have no fault to find, we don't want your trade we enn't do any more thar, perfectly satisfy you.

President Hayes had but little aciiuaintance with public men. President Arthur was at even greater disadvan tage in this respect. When Mr. Cleveland lirst came to Washington he knew no un and no one knew him. Worse still, hd knew precious little about public ques tions or methods. He had everything to learn. For instance. Mr. Cleveland wa. delighted to discover that there was in the country men a thing ns a tariff question. He made the iiscovery from the lips of Carlisle, Morrison and others, who had been on that tack tor many years, and he iiroyedi d with the seal of a recruit to link his name with a certain phase of the agi tation. How Mr. Clevelend has grown during the last twelve years! Kven nls most bitter enemy "vould not now charge him with ignorat-ce of men and measures. No one can fool him. and if he only had tact enough to take full advantage of the information which he has acquired In She school of experience he would be well nigh invincible. The wonder Is. considering the disadvantage under which Mr. Cleveland labored at the ovtset of his career in the white horse, that he has made sfteh a strong and successful president. His case is a remarkable example of the manner In which our American public men. called to the highest otllce In the state by the nr. cldent of politics, prow adaptable enough to grow day by day and year by year. The strong nnd masterful and thoroughly well informed Drover Cleveland of today Is not to be compared with the (trover Cleveland of .1 dozen years no. .Major MeKlnley Is inllntely better eiii!iiind for the presi dency than any of bi predecessors of re cent years, lieneral Harrison had had ex perience in Washington, having serxed six years in the senate, but he did not learn much while here. He was ill his shell most of the time and formed few friend ships. His was another remarkable cao of growth In office. He expanded rapidly in perceptiveness, in analysis, in force.
