SPORTS ON KAUAI.
Annual Athletic Contests at Maka-
weli.
Kauai, Jan. G. The annual
sports at Makaweli plantation,
which Mrere postponed on Christ
mas day on account of the heavy
rains which fell during the morn
in ?, wore successfully carried out
on New Year's day. The weather
was good, dry and not too warm,
and the records for the majority of
the events show a marked im
provement on previous meetings.
The jumping might have been a
little better, but it is only fair to
add that it was slightly uphill,
which circumstance must have de
tracted a little from the excellence
of the performances. A quoiting
tournament of ten shots up was
carried on during the forenoon,
and brought some very close and
exciting games. The final fell to
be played between J. Elliott and J.
Anderson, and after a good game
was won by Elliott with 10 points
to his opponent's G. The 100 yards
dash and hurdle race were run in
good time, but in the latter two of
the competitors came a cropper,
one at the first hurdle and one at
the last. The other and more comi
cal races were well contested, and
afforded a good deal of amusement.
The judges were Messrs. Simpson
and Hants. Starter, Mr. Wm.
Hastie. Timekeeper, Mr. James
Dyson.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Boat Upset in a Heavy Surf at
Hamakna.
Honokaa, Jan. 5. The steamer
Waialeale arrived yesterday fore
noon, bringing a pretty heavy mail,
and the mail carrier, Master "Wal
ter Greenfield, not expecting so
large a mail, only took down
the horse he rode. On reaching
the wharf and finding the mail
unusually heavy, he had to pack
the large bags on his horse and foot
it up the hill.
The steamer Kilauea Hou ar
rived today but brought no mail.
The steamer Hawaii left for Hono
lulu on the 3d, with 6000 bags of
sugar. A serious accident, which
nearly resulted in the death of
a number of boatmen occurred
on the day before she left. In the
morning of the same day she began
loading sugar, there being a heavy
sea, the men had all they could do
to prevent the boat from being
dashed on the rocks near the land
ing. Unexpectedly a heavy sea broke
over the boat while near the landing
and the craft being heavily loaded,
turned on one side on a big rock.
The men in the boat jumped out
and quickly grasped at the two life
buoys thrown out to -them. The
boat and cargo were luckily saved
by the presence of mind of the
landing overseer. Mr. M. de Brito,
who threw out a rope, and the next
heavy sea that came turned the
boat nearly over. Fortunately it
righted again and was hauled out
into the open sea.
Two Hawaiian Boys Returning
Home.
Two native boys, James Kala
and Kaanaana, returned on Satur
day by the bark Andrew Welch
from the Coast. They left here last
year in the whalers Jas. Arnold
and Narwhal respectively, and
spent about seven months whaling
up in the Arctic regions. Three
months ago they returned to San
Francisco and were cared for by
Hawaiians residing in Sacramento.
James Kala worked for a while
with Captain Staples at the Sailors'
Home in San Francisco. The boys
were glad to get home.

THE PACIFIC
THE HAWAIIAN STAMP CRAZE.
A Situation That Attracted tbo Attention
of Philatelists the 'World Over.
Of all the queer developments that
have arisen in connection with the de
thronement of Queen Liliuokalani none
is stranger than the excitement which
attended the speculation in the provision
al sunups issued by the present govern
ment. This speculation is not confined
to stamp collectors and dealers, but is
indulged in by residents of Honolulu and
citizens of this and other countries alike.
even one of the Spreckels family being
credited with having purchased and laid
aside $12,000 worth of these labels for
future profit.
It was anticipated that the provisional
government would be of short duration.
and that the improvised stamps were to
nave a life as short as the temporary gov
ernment, and this led to the scramble
for stamps, as it was presumed that they
would become exceedingly rare and val
uable.
There were 21 varieties issued, includ
ing all the perforated stamps issued by
the Hawaiian government since 1864,
ranging in value from 1 cent to $1. Each
I of these was overprinted, or surcharged,
to use a philatelic term, with the words
"Provisional Govt., 1893," in three lines.
each word and date taking a separate
line.
Some of the stamps were surcharged
with black letters and others with red.
all of one denomination being overprint
ed in the same color. But the portion of
one value, the 12 cent mauve, was sur
charged in black and the remainder in
red, there being twice as many of the
latter surcharged as of the former. As
but a few thousands of this particular
stamp were on hand, they were soon
bought up, and as much as $5 each was
paid for a specimen of the black sur
charge. Speculators soon bought up
the supply of several of the other values,
and it was not long after the date of
their issue that a complete set of these
stamps, which had a face value of $3.01.
was selling for 15.
Recently, however, some of the specu
lators have deemed it wise to unload,
iind the entire set can now be purchased
for $10, still leaving a handsome profit
on the original cost.
Recent advices from Honolulu show
that the mania for Etarap collecting has
had somewhat of a sensational effect
there. F. F. Porter, a brother of the
ex-minister of finance of the provisional
government, wrote as follows to a friend
in this city:
"They have gone crazy on Hawaiian
stamps. Even the Chinese are in it. I saw
by the paper last night that one Chinese
firm bought $1,700 worth at the post-
office. If such is the case, the govern
ment has a mighty good thing, for it
can grind them out for about 10 cents
per 1,000. I see in the windows about
town samples of several kinds of stamps
priced $10." San Francisco Call.
A FREAK OF NATURE.
It Is a Calf "With Two Heads and Six Feet,
and Alleghany lias It.
Alleghany has a monstrosity. It is in
the shape of a newly born calf. It is a
freak of nature that the museum man
would be after it this morning if it were
still alive. But the calf is dead. It
died shortly after it was born. The calf
had two perfectly well developed heads,
six legs and two tails, and is a curiosity
that attracted all Alleghany that knew
about it yesterday afternoon.
The calFs mother was the property of
Herman Jacob, a dairyman, residing at
277 Madison avenue, Alleghany. He
was obliged to kill the cow before the
calf was born. After the calf died Sir.
Jacob decided to stuff the hide and keep
it as a curiosity.
So far as the heads and front part of
the monstrosity are concerned, the calf
is shaped and proportioned normally,
but at the shoulders the "double calf is
merged into one, with a perfectly formed
hind part, with the exception of the two
well formed tul3 of equal size and pro
portion. Within the calf there were
found to be two stomachs, one set of
bowels and one pair of lungs. Pitts
burg Dispatch.
Zola on France and Germany.
While in London M. Zola was inter
viewed by the correspondent of the Co
logne Gazette on the relations between
France and German. M. Zola said:
'Though I am not exactly a politician
I can assure you of one thing, and that
is that no one in France desires war.
In no circumstances shall we take the
offensive, but if we are attacked, well
and good. I do not wish to denj- the ex
istence of the idea of revenge, but there
is a great difference between cherishing
an idea and putting it into practice.
You cannot give me the name of a
French statesman of the present day
who is eaqrer for war. We have no mil
itary party and no general who can
claim the right to cover himself with the
laurels of war. We have become more
democratic, broader and more peaceable
in our views. The condition, however,
in which France lives is, I confess, any
thing but an ideal one."
Chinese Honors For a ISishop.
Bishop Anser, the head of the German
Roman Catholic mission in South Shan
tung, has been honored by the emj)eror
of China with the light blue button
(third class). This distinction has been
conferred upon him in consideration of
his meritorious services in preserving
concord between native Christians and
non-Christians.
With the exception of the old Jesuit
missionaries this honor has been con
ferred, so far as is known, on only two
other missionaries namely, the late
bishop of Peking, Mgr. Tagliabue, and
Pere Favier, who received this decora
tion for their services in connection with
the tranfer of the old Peitang cathedral
at Peking. North China News.
