GREAT BRITAIN IN HAWAII.
The English Consul Plotted
Against Americans.
What Admiral Walker's Correspond-
euce Shows.
The Jspsasli and Portuguese Were
Feared—A Firm Kepublio Kstab
llshed on the Islands.
By the Associated Press.
Wabhinuton, Dec. 19.—1n answer to a
resolution, Secretary Herbert today sent
to tbe senate the correspondence be
tween tbe navy department and Ad
miral Walker, relative to his mission to
Hawaii last summer. Tbe correspond
ence makes a volume of considerable
eize, covering about 50 typewritten pages,
and while much of it is purely format,
some chapters are of great interest. It
beginß on March 23d last, with the
formal order of the secretary detailing
the admiral from duty aa president of
tbe inspection board and ordering him
to Honolulu to reliove Admiral Irwin aa
commander-in-cbief of the Pacific sta
tion, and cloaes with a notice from the
admiral, dated Mare Island, (Jal., August
24th, announcing his relinquishment of
that command tv Admiral Beardslee.
FOIttCION INFLUENCE.
Admiral Walker began hia reports to
tbe department by a letter from Hono
lulu dated April 25th., stating that he
had assumed command of the station,
and telling of the consequent formali
ties. On tbe 28th of tbe same month
be wrote a lons letter touching the po
litical situation and giving hia impres
eionß. Premising his remarks with the
statement that the provisional govern
ment appeared to be firmly established
and that life and property were secure,
the admiral says there are two causes
which give uneasiness—the uncertainty
ol the natives as to the ultimate restora
tion of the queen, and tbe possible dis
affection oi tbs Japanese. Tbe registra
tion had closed with hut 1500 registra
tions in Honolulu. Comparatively few
of tbe natives bad registered, tbeir pol
icy being one oi abstention irom politi
cal affairs under the existing circum
stances.
They had been informed by their
leaders tbat tbey would be punished if
the queen wae restored and they were
afraid to take the risk. They were be
ing constantly told that ehe would be
restored by tbe United States, aud for
eign Influence encouraged this belie!
and apprehension. Could tbey feel
assured that tbe monarchy would not
be restored by outside interference, it
is believed they would readily partici
pate in the formation of a new govern
ment.
LOYALTY TO THB MONARCHY.
The sentiment ol loyalty to tbe mon
archy and queen is, says the admiral, to
a considerable extent, one of self-inter
est—of self-preservation iv the event of
restoration.
"I am satisfied," says the admiral,
"that a clearly-formuiated assuranco
from the United States of uon-interfer
ouce with the political affairs of Hawaii
and of disapproval oi interferences upon
tbe part of any other nation would rest
the situation clearly upon ita local mer
its in the estimation of all classes with
out hope or fear of outside prettattre, and
would tend to speedy settlement of all
troubles."
Touching the Japanese, the admiral
Bays they number more than 2(1,000 ou
tbe islands utid are inclined to be turbu
lent. They Btaud together as a solid
body, tbeir lenders have political ambi
tion and propose to claim the right to
vote. Many persona think tbem a pos
sible source ol future danger. They are
brave, with military inatinct and would
tight if aroused or excited. The Portu
gese also have political aspirations, but
tbey are a lawabidmg, desirable clsbb
of immigrants. Tbe Chinese do not en
ter politic-; to any extent. As a rule tbe
Knglish are Royalißts but may favor the
Provisional government and annexation.
THB REPUBLIC FIRM.
On June 23rd Admiral Walker notes
the receipt of the formal announcement
of the action of our Benate toward
Hawaii. Among other things he Bays:
The republic haa been firmly estab
lished ; tbat there ia no probability
whatever oi a counter revolution. If
Lilinokalani surrenders ber claim for a
penaion, matters will at once be Bettled.
He considers that there is no longer any
necessity for the presence of a flag
officer in Hawaii, but that a ship should
be keut there, and that Hawaii may be
regarded ac having reverted to ita iormer
Btatuß. A part of this station iB espe
cially important because of ita American
interests and affiliation.
Under date of August 17th, just prior
to hiß departure for home, the admiral
reports at length upon what he had
accomplished, and oayß that in hia opin
ion the republic haa ample strength to
maintain itaelf and preserve peace, und
would suppress riot or counter revolu
tion with a firm band, but as long as
foreign vessels lay iv tbe harbor of
Honolulu ready at a moment'e notice,
in tbe event of dieturbancee, to land
forces to secure the aalety of life and
property, it waa open to the enemies of
the government to aay that tranquility
was maintained only by the presence of
thoße shipe.
TUl£ BRITISH CONSUL'S ATTITUDE.
In regard to Major Woodhouse, the
Btitiah consul at the islands. Admiral
Walker wrote: "He had beeu at Hon
olulu nearly 3d years, and his constant
atruggle had beeu to jet English influ
ence againet American influence und
make it predomiuate; aud us au essen
tial part of this policy to maintain the
monarchy. The successful revolution
and the establishment of a republic
during the laat year of hia diplomatic
service upon tbe eve of his retirement,
was an evidence of failure which made
him bitter and hostile. Although hold
ing the DO.-ition of Britiah minister and
transacting diplomatic business with
the goverumeut de facto, he bad been
a pronounced and partisan royalißt. It
is currently believed that he had been
in constant secret communication with
tbe ex-queen and entirely iv the confi
dence ot tbe royalist leaders, and he
had certainly lost no opportunity to em
barrass the present government, disre
garding the courtesieß and amenitieß
duo irom one in itia position. But for
his impending retirement, mattera
would probably bave come, some time
ago, to an issue which would have re
sulted in hiß recall or dismissal,"

i Ckipim.b Ckkki:, 001., Dec. i9.—Rich
ard Newell, jr., chief engineer and
uperintentlent of the Midland Term
ioal railroad, waa shot and inetautly
killed thia afternoon by W. A. Van
Honten, near Anaconda Oity. Newell'a
private car waa attached to a work train,
which waa stopped at the cabin occu
pied by Van Honten and his partner.
The cabin ia located on tbe right of way.
and is within six feet of the track.
Newell entered the cabin, serving the
occupauta with a written notice to
vacate. A diapute and high words fol
lowed. Newell told Van Honten to pat
down his gun and light like a man.
Van Honton'a only reply was to aim at
Newell witli hia shotgun, the contents
lodging in the superintendents side.
The tragedy waa the result of a dia
pute between the owners of the Black
Wonder Mining company, regarding the
amount nf tbe damages to be paid for
the right of way. Railroad men gath
ered and talked of lynching Van Hon
ten, but he was safely lodged in jail.

FIGHTING AGAINST SATAN.
General Booth Will Soon Be in
Los Angeles.
The Founder of the Salvation Array
Is on His Way.
Ha Is One of the Grand Old Men of the
Age—llia Vinws and His
Methods.
God. William Bootb, founder of the
Salvation army, will arrive in thia oity
in a few daya. lie iB at present in San
Francisco, where he ia interesting and
teaching thouaauds in tbe ways and
methods of the new religious organiza
tion.
A London correspondent, apeaking of
the general, says;
He is one of the grand old men of the
time, You may not agree with bis
methods. Hia red shirt may ofJend
your esthetic eenße. But you cannot
etand face to face with him for a mo
ment without feeling- tbe wonderful, in
domitable force of the old man. It ia in
every line of the fane—tbe enormoua
hcuked noee, the deep-set eyee under
tbe beetle browa. tbe stern mouth anil
tbe waste of ragged, gray beard. There
is no doubt of it, General William Bootb
is one of the grand old men.
Tbe Salvation army is one of the rr.Oßt
extraordinary movements in this age of
etrauge soc'al aberrations. It began in
a tent iv the old Quaker burial ground,
in Briok lune, Wuitecbapel, with the
preaching of a gaunt, eccentric, eagle-,
beaked evangeliat. It begun noieiiy
with tho beating of drums aud the mel
ancholy howling of penitent sinners. It
has marched around tbe world and
everywhere bave been tbe beating of
drums and tbe melancholy bowlings o f
! penitent sinr.erß: in tbo Blums of every
city, in the villages of every land, in
Zulu jangles, in India, China, Japan :
wherever its trumpeta have eoundad the
miserable ones, the declassed and
wretched, thieves and harlotß have
fallen into line; it is an army of Pyuiß
and Pietole, all ahoutiug for the glory of
God aud the defiance oi the devil. , It it!
a social phenomenon, Aa neariy a"
anything, perhape, it recalls that early
fauatio enthusiasm of the early Chris*
tian. It w»a made up of the lower
orders. It courted persecution, It
fought a personal devil, wrestled with
him, out-howled him and triumphed.
Mon and women of eeriouH intellect
looked upon it askance, But this army
of fanatic salvation marched on,
The movement ia without precedent.
And the man who directs it—a grim,
old man, iooking like a peddler of Yan
kee notions—will tell you that today it
ia only iv ita beginning; that its goal
wili not be reached until "every man
and woman is redeemed, morally, men
tally, socially." He apoakß of this as
confidently as you and I speak of to
morrow's dinner.
In an interview Booth said:
"I want to establish the social work
of the army more securely, I want to
broaden and deepen it. From the very
beginning I have felt that the only way
to help a man who ia down ia to help
him all around. Preach Christ to bim?
Yes, but take him out of the gutter,
wash him, feed him, give bim work,
Christ expects you to do tbat much for
him, and Chriel will save hia soul.
When a man's down, get him up. Kales
his body, raise hia mind, raise up bis
aoul. In our farm colony down at Had
luigh we have tried this plan ia a email
way. We have taken paupers, drunk-
Rrda, thieves, vagabonds, and washed
them, clothed tbem, put them to work.
We pay them wages and call up their
manhood. No work, no pay. And we
preach Chrißt—He ia the beginning aud
end of our wcrk. The farm ie Belf
supporting, that ia when tbe initial out
lay ia provided. Toe paupers we took
from tbe Stepney workhouae ccat the
ratepayers —in food, buildings, salaries
and all the expenses of maintaining
them as paupers—more than it cost us
to put ten times their number back into
honest livelihoods, decent men, clean in
body aad soul.
"If I only had the means!
"I shall establish a colony, either in
Africa or Australia; in aome of the un
used lauda of Australia, I think. There
will be farma and villages. The plan
will be identical with the one I have
proved auccesaful at Hadleigh."
"But you meet men who cannot be
reformed, do you not?"
"Yea. Aad the man who is given
honeet and pleasant work, who ia toned
up, morally, mentally and physically,
and after patient and efficient triai
proves himself incapable of reform,
abould be locked up and made to work.
But such men are few. My plan, it
England only knew it, would save her
the frightfully expensive and eadly in
efficient machinery of charity—aim
house, poor houses and all."
General Booth went iuto figures. He
ia no dreamer, this old man. He proved
the indisputable aucceas of this farm
colony at Hadleigb. For my part i
could not tee why it could be success
fully extended.
In every man who founds a new re
ligion or a new religioua movement
there ia something of tbe Bhrewd and
practical man of uifairs, aomething of
the lighting man, something of tbe
dreamer of dreame.
"Da you believe there will ever be re
ligioua unity?" I aaked.
"I do not know when it will come,"
he said, "but come it will. 1 know it.
It is the end of my mission. There will
be unity, and it will be that of tbe Sal
vation Army. We do not go to them,
they are oomlng to ua. Our influence
haa been very Btroug on all the creeds
and churches. Our methods are copied
by al! the denomination. Theae church
armies of the Church of England, these
boys' armies of tbe different Noncon
formist bodies are bringing tbem all
close to us. In the end they wili ba one
of us. We are Christ's men ; Hiß sol
diers, who answered Hia call tv go forth
into all the world. Tiie Salvation Army
has only to be true to tho Maater to win
the woiid for Him."
A grand old man—dreamer, politician,
lighter, tbe stern, indomitable dictator
oi thia strange army.
He waa born in Nottingham April 10,
1829. He was a local preacher at 17, at
10 waa called to the ministry oi tbe Wea
leyan Church. From the beginning he
bad a way of prowling about ths alums,
ot taking poor devils by the band and
compelling them to come in. His eld
era did not believe ia taking the Bible
quite this literally and edged bim
out of tbe church. He became an
evangelißt and waudered over Eng
land. Hie methods grew noisier, tbe
earnestness of the man increased. He
took tbe scriptural command literally.
He would compel tbem to come in, if he
had to use brass bands and beat drum
heads. Sinnera who did not want to be
saved attacked bim, riots broke out, he
waa biased and atoned. Tha authorities
frowned on him, the cburohea gave him
tbe cold ehoulder. Tbe evangeliet de
termined be would take another scrip
tural injunction literally and became a
soldier. He founded tbe Salvation army.
Thia waa in 18(i"> in tbat out-of-door
misaion in Whitecbaoel. He promoted
himself to the rank of general. Hia
army grew, until today tbe authorities
aak bia assistance in solving the question
of pauperism and the cburchea copy hia
methods.
It ia a carious study for the socio,o
-gißt. A popular religious movement oi
this aort is strange in itself in theae
daya of donbt and indolent belief, but to
my mind the picture of thia etern old
man dominating tbe religious methods
of tha century is stranger still.

Threatening Crinoline.
"I really believe those sly French
people are going to got tbo hotter of us,
niter all," said a fashionable woman
who was being fitted to a skirt at a
modish dressmaker's. "Before wo real
ize it we shall bo wearing crinoline. It
is being forced on us inch by inch until
now a framework is well nigh a neces
sity to support the heavy skirts in
vogue.''
Tin"", ia true of the characteristic skirt
of tho day, which has a decirled flare
ami is so gored ard stiffened with hair
cloth that it will stand alone. Paquin
of Paris is sending over skirts measur
ing six yards round and shaped like in
verted wineglasses.
By tho way, this same Paquin makes
frocks called "harmonious discords,"
which are delightfully chic. What think
you of a purple crepon, the skirt stiff
ened until it is heavy as lead, the waist
made primarily of tho crepon, having a
stock collar of vivid green velvet trim
med with black satin ribbon embroid
ered with disks connected by electric
blue spangles?
Two fur bands edged with lace form
the sleeves, and there is a blue spangled
bolt with long floating ends. It sounds
like pickled limes and lemons served in
vinegar, but when seen the colors are
found to harmonize liko the contrasting
ones in a sunset.—Boston Home Jour

A Mysterious Beauty.
A new and mysterious beauty who
has taken a charming house and lives
alone in it, in London, is causing a sen
sation in the English metropolis, where
it is known of her only that she is "Mrs.
Savage," supposed to bo from Wash
ington, Boston or Philadelphia. The
London correspondent of the Boston
Transcript thus describes her: Her face
is a long oval, very pale, but with a
pallor lovelier than a coiuinouplaco red
and white; the nose, very straight and
rather long, the mouth a wonderful Cu
pid's bow, tho chin cleft by a dimplo,
with a brother in one cheek; tho eyes
violet, extremely almond shaped and
drooping at thu corners. One dark
eyebrow—the loft—is touched with
whilo in the most curious manner, as
is tho hair over the forehead on tho
same side, though the faeo is of a
woman not over 150. I never saw a inoro
beautiful creature iv my life, and I am
proud to bo her "countrywoman."

A FORTUNE AT CARDS.
IT WAS WON BY JOHN SCOTT, THI
"GENTLEMAN GAMBLER."
ITI* Winnmg-s at White's, In -atndon, tm
I the Last Century Bxoeeded 55,000,(M>0.
Though Illiterate, Be Was a Man of tha
Hlost l'reclsekJUethods*
Of all the gentlemen gamblers of the
£loso of the eighteenth century in Eng.
land a single one is noted for the im<
mensity and the regularity of his win
nings. This was John Scott, who, be.
ginning as a penniless captain, wound
up his career as a millionaire general
On tbo subject of tho campaigns he cow
ducted history is silent, but contempo
rary London was full of talk of his mar
velous luck with dice and oards, and
tho marital misfortunes of his later life;
gave more material for the gossips.
Writing to Bichard Bontley, from
Arlington street, on Feb. 25, 1755,,
Horace Walpolo says:
"Tho great evont is the catastrophe
of Sir John Bland, who has flirted away
hia whole fortune at hazard. Ho t'othej
night exceeded what was lost by th*
late Duko of Bedford, having at one pcs
riod of tho night (though he recovered
the greatost part of it) lost £82,000,
Tho citizens put on their double chau>
noled pumps and trudge to St- James
street in expectation of seeing judgment
on White's —— angels, with naming
swords, and devils flying away with
diceboxes, like the prints in Sadler's:
hermits. Sir John lost this immense
sum to a Captain Scott,--who at present
has nothing but a few debts and Jill
commission."
Sir John Bland, to oonclnde hero ttm
history of that luckless dioer, shot him*'
sel dead after losing the last of his for*
tuno in Kippax park.
Captain John Scott was of that branch
of the numerous Scott family of whioh,
Sir Walter was a member, and his an
cestor in the thirteenth century was that
famous chemist, Michael Soott, who/
won the name of Wizard. A later Soott
distinguished himself in the time of
Charles II by marrying, when he was
himself only 14 years old, a lady who
Was three years his junior. The bride
was Mary, countess of Buccleuoh, in
her own right the richest heiress in Scot
land. The marriage was a secret one,i
and none of the friends and few of her
family were informed of it until the
day after. The youthful bridegroom did
not profit greatly by this matoh, for bia
bride died at 18. Her sister Anne, who
succeeded to her titles and estates, roada
a marriage with the pet son of Charles
11, Monmouth, and had a numerous
family.
It was 60 years later, or about 1750,
that young John Scott, son of tho Laird
of Scot's Tarvet, entered King George's
arm}'. Two yoars later lie was in Lon
don and in the midst of tho most reck
less sot of spendthrifts, rake 3 and game
sters that Euglish society has evel
known. Sir John Bland was only one
of a thousand rich young Englishmen
who throw away his fortune over the
gaming table at White's. The one his
toric loser of that . va was Charles James
Fox, Pitt's rival. Fot gambled away,
all told, no less than $5,000,000. Scott
was the very antipodes of Fox. When
ho died, at a ripe old ago, he left a for
tuno as great as that with which Fox
had begun, and every penny of it had
been won at the gaming table. Fox was
a ripo scholar. Scott was almost illit
erate. Fox said that losing was the next
greatest pleasnro to winning. Scott
never lost, or so rarely that it did not
affect the serenity of his career as a
winner. Fox would go home in tho
morning after a night in which he had
gambled away £10,000 or £20,000 and
immediately lose himself in a study of
Sophocles or Scott, like the
sensible follow he was, would button
bis coat over the portemonuaie in which
ho carried away winnings of an equal
or even greater amount and immediate
ly go to bed so as to be fresh for play
in tho evening.
When Scott found himself in London,
and amid the wild young men of hia
era, ho determined that gaming was.
his only chance of getting money. When
he engaged himself to throw a series of
mains with Sir John Bland, he had, aa
Horaco Walpole puts it, nothing "but
a few debts and his commission." His
shrewdness taught him that there was
nothing in dicing, at whioh a stupid
man has as good a chance as a bright
one, and so he speedily gave np hazard
and applied himself to whist, at whioh
gamo heaven fights on the side of the
skillful player. Never in tho history of
play did men gamble for such high,
stakes as Scott and his victims did at
Whito's between 1753 and 1780. Scott'aV
system was an exceedingly simple one.
He gave himself the best of it in ev«'
cry possible way. He never went to the*
gaming tablo unless his head and his
stomach were in the very best order.}
Ho never lost his composure or his good'
nutii.ro for an instant. He played a per
fectly fair and honorable game, and at
first he made it a rule never to play for
more than a fixed 6um, which he could :
afford to lose. Ho won so steadily that
it wasn't long before he was prepared
to risk any sum which even the wealth*
iest or the most reckless of his adveiv
saries would venture to propose.
A story which illustratos capitally
Scott's patience in the face of hard luck
has been preserved. One night, while
he was at the card table, news waa
brought to him that his wife, the first
Mrs. Scott, had given birth to a girl.
"Ah," he said, "I shall have to dou
ble my stakes tomako a fortune for this
young lady.''
But in a few hours he was £S,OOO to
the bad. Retaining his invariable seren
ity, ho said he was sure of his luck re
turning, and at 7 a. m. he went home
the winner of £15,000. That's the sort
of play tbat went on at White's night
after night during tho yoars that John
was winning the largest fortune
over accumulated by a gentleman gam
bler. —Exchange.
