vital importance. Indeed it would eeem
that natuie has established that group
to be ultimately occupied ac an outpost,
•sit were, of the great republic on its
weetern border, and that the time has
now come for the fulfillment of euch de
sign. The group now Becks annexation
to the United States. The consumma
tion of auch a wish would inure to the
benefit of both peoples, commercially
and politically. . ...
"Annex the islands and institute
them ac a territory, and reciprocal trade
~ will double within 20 yeare. Let the
! islanders feel that they are once and
under the folds of the American
flag as a part and parcel of the great re
public, and a new development will at
once take place in tbe group that will
tenrprise its people and the world.
I "Not to take the fruit within our
gftrasp and annex the group now begging
:ns to take it would be folly in
! deed—a mistake of the gravest nature,
both for the statesmen of today and
Hor men among ua of high commercial
'▼iewe and great enterprises. Let the
fßritiehonce get its paw on the group
and Honolulu would Boon become one
of the moat important strongholds of
Great Britain's power. Great Britain
will undoubtedly propose a joint ar
rangement for the government of the
islands, but we want none of that—no
! entangling alliances. We have had
(enough of that business at Samoa. We
f want no joint protectorate; no joint oc
cupation there by any European power;
no Pacific Egypt. We need the group
•as a part and parcel of tho United
I States, and should take what is offered
\na, even at the hazard of war."
ENGLAND'S ACTION.
too Ships Ordered to Honolulu and So
Protest Filed.
London, Jan. 31.—The officials at ad
miralty deny that a British warship hae
been ordered to proceed to Hawaii from
Australia. The corvette Garnet, IS guns,
left Acapulco, Mexico, January 7 for
Honolulu. She had orders to proceed
irom Honolulu to Eequimault. These
orders have been countermanded and
'instructions sent the commander to re
•main at Honolulu until the trouble there
i is settled.
j It is learned on excellent authority
that tbe British government hae not in
structed the British minister to the
United States, Pauncefote, to protect
against American interference in Hawaii,
as Great Britain does not expect the
United States to take any step to which
Great Britain is likely to object.
Tbe Daily Chronicle says in a leader
concerning the Hawaiian revolution:
"There are symptoms of a plot of Amer
ican traders in Honolulu, and it will
fail. It is evident that the natives were
•wed into submission by American
marines, therefore it will be lees an act
of protection than one of piracy for
America to extend her eway over Ha
waii."
Annexation Resolutions.
San Francisco, Jan. 31.—A special
meeting of the San Francisco chamber of
commerce was held today to consider
the question of annexation of Hawaii.
Resolutions were adopted urging the
United Stateß government to prompt
acceptance of the proposed ceeeion and
requesting that the naval forces of the
United States at Honolulu be aug
mented during tbe present political
trouble. _
Pennsylvania Favors Annexation.
Habribbcrg, Fa., Jan. il. —the senate
today unanimously adopted a resolution
teaaxinti the annexation of the Sand
wich islands to the United States, and
urging the representatives of Pennsyl
vania at Washington to use every means
lv their power to promote annexation.
PNEUMATIC GUNS.
The Destroyer* of the Vesuvius Work
Satisfactorily.
Port Royal, S. 0„ Jan. 31.—The of
ficial trials of the pneumatic guns of the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius began tbis
morning. .In all 12 shots were
tired, cix at a range of
2000 yards and six at 1500
yards., tbree guns being fired in succes
sion. With the exception of the first
two ehots fired from the Starboard gun,
no ehot fell more than 20 yards distant
irom the required range, and every shot
fired would nave struck a man-of-war at
the distanoe designated by the board.
There was no difficulty in working the
air guns, nor in supplying air to the
reservoirs, nor controlling the shell by
wind vanes.

NORTHWEST COLD WAVE
FRIGID WEATHER ALONG THE
CANADIAN BORDER.
A Howling Blizzard Rsglog In Minne
sota- and North Dakota—Cold
est Weather Brer Known
In Montana*
St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 31.—A blizzard
raged all over tbe northwest last night
and today and ie still at it. A driving
snow storm broke over St. Paul during
the morning; tbe wind blew at tbe rate
of 20 miles per hour, driving clouds of
snow before it. Reports from the north
west are meagre at the weather bureau,
owing to the prostration of wires. Those
received show some peculiar freaks oi
weather. At 8 o'clock this
morning at ' Helena it • was
43 below zero, while at Missoula, a lit
tle over 100 miles north, it was 10 de
greee above. At the former place there
was a high wind from the west. Mis
soula was simultaneously catching a
small hurricane from the eaet. All
through Montana, with the exception of
this one point, tbe cold was intense.
In Portland it was 25 degrees above and
iv St. Paul 15; in Duluth it waß (3
below; Winnipeg, 10, and in
Jameßtown 0; while at Fergua
Falls, Grant Forks and Fargo it was
fully 20 degrees warmer, with a high
wind from a different point in each of
the cix places. The snowfall in the
northweßt was not enough to cauee seri
ous delays, but tbe high winds caused
drifte and they made through trains
from tbree to four houre late. This
evening the storm is more severe in the
Dakotas and Minneeota, and the tem
perature is already dropping below
zero.
Later reports from many points in
the northwest state that the blizzard is
general and very severe. Allendale, N.
1)., reports a severe change. At 8
o'clock this morning it was 12 above,
and this evening it was 25 below.
Scboole are being closed and business
is at a standstill. A terrific blizzard is
raging. It iB 20 below at Fluron, S. P.,
tonight, with a 65-mile gale. Water
town, S. D., reports trains abandoned
because of the storm.
Helena, Mont., Jan. 31.—Thia Btate
ie now in the throes ol the coldest wave
experienced in eeven years. Within
four daye 16 inchea of enow has fallen.
Stockmen are uneasy. It was 30 degrees
below zero here last evening; at Great
Falls, 36 below; at Glasgow, in the
northern part of the Btate, 40 below.
Portland, Ore., Jan. 31.—The Bnow
storm ceaßed in the northwest laet
night and the weather turned cold. The
severest fall was in the Puget Bound
country, where a depth of 15 to 20
inches was reached. At Spokane the
thermometer is 12 below zero tonight;
in tbis city it is 14 above.
Keeping Churches Open.
"When I get rich," said a business
man, "I am going to give away a lot of
churches, but I shall not give anybody
a church unless thoy will agree to keep
it open on week days as well as Sundays.
There has been in recent years an increase
in the number of Protestant churched
kept open tiirough the week, but I would
like to see more of thorn. I imagine that
ono reason why churches are not more
generally kept open is tho expense at
tending it, and doubtless many persona
think that peoplo are all or nearly all
too busy to spend time in churches on
week days.
"It seems to mo that the oxpense
should not stand in tho way, and I am
inclined to think that the number of
those who would avail themselves of such
opportunity for rest and meditation is
greater than is generally supposed. I
know that I havo never entered a church
in New York on a week day without
finding somebody there. I should like
not only to have more of the churches
kept open on week days, but to have
them open for a longer period each day,
and I would like to keep some of them
open all night. It is easy to see that
thero might bo many objections to this;
still I would liko to see churches whose
doors would be always open to every
wayfarer."—New York Sun.
BLOOD ON THE MOON IN KANSAS
A New Phase of the Legisla
tive Situation.
Republican Members Arm to Prevent
Ejectment.
The Populists Bent on Breaking Up the
Republican House—Blood May
lie Spilled if lt Is
Attempted.
By the Associated Press.
Topska, Kan., Jan. 31. — Speaker
Dunsmere of the Populist house last
night cent a letter to Speaker Douglass
of the Republican house, informing him
that the Republicans had no longer any
excuse for staying outside the fold as
they were doing, and saying they had
better Btop it. Their furtbeir refusal to
recognize the Populist house, he said,
would confirm him in the belief that the
railroade are sustaining the Republican
house and paying the expenßeß in the
hope of preventing the enactment of
railway legislation, to which the Popu
iists stand committed.
Speaker Douglass this afternoon laid
this communication before the Republi
can bouse, together with his reply, in
which he indignantly repelled the
charges made, and suggeßti ac the best
mode of settlement that both sides make
up a case for the highest court at once.
The Populists have not yet replied.
Late tonight the Republicans are
wrought up to a high etate of excite
ment by a rumor that the Populiste will
attempt tomorrow to remove tbem from
the hall by force. Each Republican has
provided himself with a revolver, and
Bays he will use it under certain cir
cumstances. If the governor orders out
the militia to remove them, tbey will
not resist their authority, but if the
sergeant-at-arms of the Populist house,
with his numerous deputiee, tries it,
they will offer armel resistance.
A STRAIGHT TIP.
Henry VHUrd to Be Cleveland's Secre
tary of tbe Interior.
Washington, Jan. 31.—A prominent
western politician, who will not permit
the use of his name, gives out the fol
lowing aa a straight tip: Henry Villard
is going into Cleveland's cabinet as sec
retary of the interior. Thomas F. Oakes
will then retire from the presidency of
the Northern Pacific and become chair
man of tbe board of directors ; and ex-
Governor Merriam of Minnesota will
become Oakee' successor as the presi
dent of the road. A St. Paul man, John
0. Bullitt, jr., a nephew of the eminent
Philadelphian of that name, will be
chosen assistant attorney-general of the
United Statee.
SPITEFUL PENNOYER.

Salem, Ore., Jan. 31.— Governor Pen
noyer received a letter today from Ad
jutant-General Mitchell of the 0. N. G.,
aeking permission to use two brass can
non belonging to the state for the pur
pose of firing a salute on inauguration

reply:
"No permiseion will be given to use
Btate cannon for firing a salute over tbe
inauguration of a Wall-street plutocrat

Fruitless Balloting.
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 31. —Another
ballot for senator was taken today, with
out result.
Cheyenne, Wyo„ Jan. 31. —There were
four more ballots by joint session today,
without reßult.
Helena, Mont., Jan. 31. —The vote in
joint session for United Stateß senator
today was: Saunders, 31; Clark, 25;

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 31. —There is no
change in the vote for United States

How Typewriters Differ.
The quality of uniformity is one in which
good typewriters may differ greatly. Some
strike harder with the right hand than
with the left, and thus stamp their work
indelibly. Others occasionally "shadow"
letters—that is, blur their outlines, by
holding the key down too long or by strik
ing it sideways. Perhaps the idiosyncra
sies of punctuation are the most trust
worthy earmarks of all. The force of
habit impels operators never to vary from
their own practice in given cases. Take
the sentence, "When did you go there—
Monday?" One man would put a question
mark after "there;" another a comma;
atill another a dash or a semicolon. A
comma aud a dash, a semicolon and a dash
might also be used. A skilled man always
follows his own usage in such cases.—New
York Tribune,
A Matter of Breeding.
Just why people should expend no end
of time and money on the rearing of horses
and cattle, taking every precaution that
their development is symmetrical and har
monious, and apparent!* feeling no inter
est in what their own children uro to be, is
a question that philosophers might well
take up and study. Evidently there is
something wrong somewhere, and the
sooner tbe error is discovered and bred out
of the human family the better it will be
for the future of the human race.—New
York Ledger.
Blue Kyes and Great Mon.
Blue eyes have always predominated
among the great men of the world, Soc
rates, Shakespeare, Locke, Bacon, Milton,
Goethe, Franklin, Napoleon and Renan all
had blue eyes. The eyes of Bismarck,
Gladstone, Huxley, Vjrchow aud Buchner
aye also of this color, and all the presidents
of the United States except General Haf
rison enjoyed the same cerulean color as to
their optics.—London Optician.

FREMONT WAS A RIDER.
Be Hade Eight Hundred Ullel In Six
Days.
John C. Fremont, tbe pathfinder, dur
ing his occupation oi Caiiiornia, accom
plished one of the most remarkable
rides of which there is any authentic
record. He rode from Los Angeles to
Monterey and back in eight days, wbich
included a stay of 24 hours at Monterey,
nearly two half days at San Luis Obispo
and stops for sleep and meals. He
computed the distance at 800 miles.
Much of the route was through a mount
ainous country, with only a trail for a
guide. There was one defile (£1 Rincon)
15 miles long between a precipitous
mountain and tbe eea. It could only be
passed when the tide was out and the
ocean calm, and in many places the
riders bad to ford deep water. Fremont
wae accompanied by a friend, Don Jesus
Pico of San Luis Obispo, and a servant
named Jacob Dodaon. Tbey took nine
horses, driving the loose ones before
them and lassoing them when needed
for a change.
They left Los Angeles at daybreak of
March 22, 1847, and on a gallop rode 125
milee to tbe ranch of Don Thomas Rob
beries beyond Santa Barbara, passing
San Fernando mountain and El Rincon.
The only fatigue complained of was by
the boy Dodeon, whose right arm was
tired by throwing the lasso and by
using it as a whip to keep the loose
horses in the trail.
On the second day the party rode an
other 125 miles, passing the formidable
mountain of Santa Barbara, where they
caw the whitened skeletons of 50 horses
that had periehed during the passage of
Fremont's California battalion in a
terrible storm ou Christmaß day
three months before. They supped
with a Captain Dana at sunset and
reached San Luis Obispo at 9 p. m.
The inhabitants insisted on a public re
ception to Fremont, and he lost most
of the following forenoon in conse
quence. Here the riders took eight
fresh horses.
On the third day they made 70 miles
up to 8 p. m„ when they left the trail
for a side canon to sleep. Early in tbe
morning they were awakened by a stam
pede of the hones, which bad been
frightened by bears, and they were off
at daylight. They reached Monterey in
the afternoon, having covered 80 miles
that day.
The party etarted back the following
afternoon, making 30 miles before night
overtook them, and 120 miles the next
day took them to San Luis Obispo, where
the relatives and friends of Don Jesus
insisted on another demonstration.
Here they took their original nine horses
and rode the remainder of tbe distance
in two days.
The animals used for this trip were
California horses, which wore no shoes
and fed on the grass found along the
way, the only grain fed them being bar
ley at Monterey. Don Jesus, who had
presented Fremont with two native
animals at San Luis Obispo, aßked
him to make a test of their
endurance. The pathfinder rode the
older of the two for the first 120 miles
of the return trip, and be wae of the
opinion that the noble brute would have
carried him the remaining 30 miles into
San Luis Obispo, if he Bad made the
attempt,
BANKER HELLMAN'S START.
How He Earned the First of His Hany
Dollars.
There are self-made millionaires in
San Francisco. I. W. Hellman, presi
dent of the Nevada bank, has a con
spicuous place, Bays the San Francisco
Examiner.
He told about the making of hie first
dollar a day or two ago in bis handsome
office, and it was an interesting story.
"I had come over a poor boy from
Germany," said the millionaire, "and
went to Los Angeles, where I had a
cousin then living. I got a job in a
store to sweep out and act in a capacity
of general utility. I wae engaged at the
rate of $25 a month and board, or about
95 cents a day.
"Never shall I forget the first few
jingling coins that were paid me. The
exultant feeling of independence and the
eatisfaction that I was doing so well put
and kept me in good humor. That to
me was a handsome compensation. It
was a great deal more than a boy of my
age—l 6 yeare old—could get at my old
borne beyond the ocean. I let the money
accumulate till I had $200, and then I
bought an acre of ground with it.
"That acre I have today, and my Los
Angeles residence is on it. It is just
diagonally across from the Westminster
hotel, near the postoffice, and since then
I have been offered, instead of the $200
originally paid, $200,000. I worked
three years for my employer, and during
that time in addition to saving money
right along irom my salary I paid $5 a
month and attended a night school.
"At the end of the three yeare I had
sand enough to start in a small way in a
store of my own. I stuck to this till
1868, when I went into banking. Our
bank was the first one incorporated in
California south of San Francisco. It is
about 35 years since I acquired my first
dollar. Ite acquisition has afforded me
more satiefaction than any of the sums
acquired Bince, no matter how large.
"I encourage my children, even the
little ones of 5 or 6 years, to save their
pennies, and whenever they got a little
money have opened accounts for tbem
at the savings banks. Tbe first dollar
is a good one to invest properly, and
when it iB so invested causes much
pleasure. It is good, however, to have
liberality go with business discretion.
"No period of my life has been so
gratifying to me in a financial way as
when I was sweeping tbe store for the
first dollar I ever had, attending tbe
night echool and casting about to see
what I should do, not only with the
original dollar, but those which came
along after it at that time."
The Troubles of Uul Conductor).
An old lady hailed a passing omnibus,
which pulled up at her call. "Goodby,
then, my dear," aoid she to a female friend
who had accompanied her. "I'll write and
tell you how I get on directly I've got
there. You've got my address, haven't
you? No? Why, 1 thought I gave it to
yon. It's in this bag, I suppose, nnder
my pocket handkerchief and my key and
packet of eandwiohes. Oh, I'll come to it
directly. I'd better give it to you now,
else when I write I may forget to send
it. That's not it, is itr No, that's the
prescription. There—there you arel And
you won't forget to write? If you
see Mrs. Brown you, must remem
ber me kindly. She's a sweet Woman,
isn't sho? And to think ahe should be
married to such a brute! But that's the
way of the world all over. It's just like
my poor dear sister Maria. She was as
meek as a lamb—never did a bad thing ot
said a bad word tpt anj%ody that ever I
beard of. Brat that conductor's impu
dence! If he hasn't gone again! Now 1

Nothing New Under the Sun.
"I nm beginning to believe that there
is absolutely nothuig new under tho Bun,
but that every thought is a revival or an
imitation or a downright plagiarism of
some one which preceded it years and
years ago," said Calvin S. Southwood as
ho warmed his feet against a heater in
the rotunda of the Lindell. "Even
the inventions that appear so brand new
may have existed or their possibility
been suggested away back before the'
dawn of history. At any rate this is evi
dently true in the realms of literature.
In this line, if in nothing else, history re
peats itself and the world runs in cycles.
I attended church Sunday—fact, I assure
you—and heard a distinguished gentle
man use a metaphor as his own which I
at once recognized as used once by Oliver
Wendell Holmes, and which in different
form I once ran across in an old book
containing the 'Canterbury' Tales. Yes
terday I read in a magazine an articlo
by a writer of national reputation, who
used as his own the expression, 'Pride
that dines on vanity, sups on contempt.'
"This expression was evidently taken
bodily from the 'Poor Richard's Alma
nac' of Benjamin Franklin, and this dis
tinguished philosopher I feel sure bor
rowed it either consciously or uncon
sciously from an old German book full
of folklore. Many of these old thoughts
in more recent writers are unconsciously
reproduced, and in their new dress can
hardly be recognized. 'A guilty con
science needs no accuser' may easily be
recognized in Hamlet's soliloquy, 'Thus
conscience does make cowards of us all,'
but it appeared far back of that, in the
sacred pages, "The wicked flee when no
man pursueth,' and no doubt in other
shapes ages before that. No, there's
nothing new under the sun."—St. Louis

Renan had a great contempt for mere
words, however eloquent. One evening
he met at a sort of a literary dinner M.
Caro, the philosopher beloved of fine la
dles, who set himself to prove tho exist
ence of God. His eloquent assertions did
not seem to interest the sage. In the
middle of one of his most sonorous pe
riods H. Renan attempted to make him
self heard.
But all the ladies were intensely in
terested. They would not havo their
pleasure spoiled.
"In a moment, M. Renan, we will
listen to you in your turn."
He bowed submissivoly.
Toward tho end of dinner M. Caro,
out of breath, stopped with a rhetorical
emphasis. At once every one turned to
ward the illustrious scholar, hoping that
he would enter the lists, and the hostess,
with an encouraging smile, said:
"Now, M. Renan"
"I am afraid, dear lady, that I am now
a little behindhand."
"No, nol"

I nice looking old gentleman with 4
florid complexion approached the ap
pointment clerk of the treasury one day
with an application for a place, indorsed
by some letters of recommendation.
When the official asked him a question
he said: "Pleaso write it down. lam so
deaf that I could not hear a sound if a
cannon were fired off close to my ear."
General McCauley thought that thie
was rather a disadvantage for an appli
cant for employment as a clerk, but he
asked the stranger to write his name and
address. The old gentleman shook his
head. "It is impossible," he said. "I
cannot write at ail, because my hand is
palsied."—Washington Cor. New York

Is a magnetic earth discovered Beveral yeara
ago, and was reported to be a panacea for most
all human ills, but io its crude state mtt wlltl
its lailures. as has many others of lite import
ance, but the discoveier, the eminent Dr. K. H.
I'ool, has devoted tbe laßt eight years iv dcv el
oping tbe material into a state or consistency
that would make the applicatiou of the reme
dy easy and effective.
The treatment consist; of toe external appli
cation to the body or diseased member of thi<
cataplasmia in a neat aud comfortsble dress
ing. The application gives neither pain nor
inconvenience to the patient. The limit as to
the dlsea.es that may be successfully treated
with it is yet undetermined, but from clinical
and other reports we %ould judge that its
range will be large. 80 far lt has proven a
specific in
CONSUMPTION,
BRONCHITIS,
ASTHMA,
RHEUMATISM,
AND LUMBAGO,
GOUT, &c.
But its application has been chiefly in Pulmtv
nary dUeases, Tumors and cancers, Sub-acute
and Chronic Inflammations in any of the
limbs or other parts of the body yield readily
to its influence.
Dr. eteel, member of the State Board of
Health of Illinois, has given the method a
thorough investigation, and has been using it
in his private practice for several months. In
his clinical reports he says: "The results ob
tained from this new method are simply won
derful, and beyond the comprehen.ion of any
one who has not the opportunity of making a
personal observation of them.
This treatment haß been extensively used
clinically in a number of eastern hospitals,
and all reports are ihe most favorable ever
passed upon any treatment for
CONSUMPTION,
TUMORS AND
CANCERS.
It has been adopted by several hospitals o
Chicago and New York, and also by the cele
brated Broadway Sanitarium of Denver, Colo.,
the eminent Prof. R. H. Pool, president; en
dorsed by Dr. Andrew Shannon, Dr. W. P. Wil
cox, Dr. J. K. Miller, Dr. U. W. Bno and many
other eminent physicians. It has been late.y
adopted by the German and Bnglish Physicians
of this city, and the reports from thiß institu
tiou verify the reports from other places.
