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," Vice-President Stevouaon'e Trip. Washington, Dec. 19. —Vice-preaident Stevenaon left tonight for Aaheville, N. 0., and will probably not return until after tbe holiduya.

San Francisco, Dec. 19. —Frank Gould, chairman of the Democratic state central committee, ia esnguine that the Republican contest will be bar ren of result. He says that Budd will be sworn in as governor and will as sume the duties of bia office. The law provides that when the re eult is declared in the legislature, said Mr. Could, that the man having tho greatest number of votes must bs sworn in.

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. EzcoriloniiU. The following large uuinbor of excur eionißts arrived by the Santa Fe route: Miaa E.

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. MUSIC. Chevalier de Kontski gave his fare well piano recital at Martlett'a inUßic hall last evening before an audience that was Bmall but appreciative. Toe Chev alier haa nover played better here, and bie rendition of the Kondo from Weber's Sonata operata 2-1 that is popularly know as perpetual motion wae a revelation ; hia execution of the marvelousty rapid paeanges waa il&wlesa, the notes were clean and criap aud the tempo did not flag for a sec ond. In the beautiful C sharp minor Polonaise, by Chopin, hia reading waa interesting and hiß cureasing touch in the piauo passagea was moat effective.

"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 nal. 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." Women In Politics.

Curtis in Chicaco Record- 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. Mrs. Ormfcton Chant).
