It tiiu town to everybody in
Vashingtt. ppropriations for "the
support of thc-geo. jgical survey have been
obtained year after year by a svstem of
open, persistent lobbying, genteel in its
character, perhaps, but none the less ob
jectionable on that account
Lobbyists Able to Checkmate Reform.
For many years "Western Senators and
Kepresentatives have been baffled in their
attempts to expose the alleged worthless
neps of the surveys and cut down the appro
priations for their prosecution, but Major
Powell, with the aid of lobbyists and the
appointing power, has managed to check
mate them. It is a fact that for a long time
an official known as "the executive officer of
thc bureau" has been employed, whose
duties consist solely in seeing" to it that
Congressmen shall be made to vote right
It is also said to be a fact that almost
every prominent man of influence in Wash
ington has a relative or friend on the pay
roll of the bureau, many of them holding
places that are absolute sinecures. The
sons and nephews of several well
known Congressmen hold more or
less arduous and well-paid offices,
the most outrageous case, of nepotism
being that of the son of -a conspicuous
Democratic member of the House. The
ton is a young man of 6uch dissipated
habits that he is totally unfit for the duty
more than half the time, and vet, as far as
can be ascertained, no part of his salary has
ever been withheld on this or any other
account
Harnacles to Be Smoked Ont.
The object of Senator Carey's resolutions
is to snioke out these barnacles and bring to
light the truth of the charges that have
been so freely made. If Major Pond shall
respond to the resolution frankly and fullv,
without any attempt to withhold the
desired information, his reply will
make very interesting reading. The
Senators who are most directly interested in
learning the facts declare that they will
take nothing but the whole truth for an
answer, and if it is not lortheoming under
the present resolution theywill have one
passed more sweeping in its provisions, and
lrom which there will be no escape.
It has often been said that Cengress needs
young and fresh blood in itsVmembeiship,
end the aptness of this was never more for
ciblv illustrated than in the present fight
against the Geological Survey. The West
ern Senators have, as has bjen said, for
many years attempted Jo cut dbwn the ap
propriation for the Geological )ureaii, but
have E-exlcceede4-'until yesterday, when
iesired" reform was brought about, owing
almost entirely to a speech of the eloquent
and energetic Mr. "Wolcott, of Colorado.
Nothing Heretofore Accomplished.
Senator Stewart, of Xevada, and others
have hurled defiance and epithets at Major
Powell and his bureau session after session
without accomplishing anything whatever.
Senator "Wolcott. however, has a wav of go
ing at things that is very effective.
Yesterday he was so encour
aged by his success the day be
fore in wiping out of existence
a large number of special land office agents,
who he says are the most oflensive public
employes in the entire Government service,
and who go about the "West blackmailing
settlers and committing crimes for which
they should be put in jail, instead of being
compensated by the Government.
Mr. Wolcott, in a very interesting speech,
attacked these special agent', as enemies of
the people, "and his remarks were indorsed
by Senators Stewart, Teller, Allen,
Sanders, Felton, Cockrell and others,
who testified to the entire accuracy
of the Colorado Senator's charges.
The result of the young Senator's speech
was that the appropriation to pay these men
was reduced from 5200,000, as provided in
the Senate bill, to 5120,000, as originallv
appropriated by the House. This cuts off
the heads of many of them.
Eloquence "ot Thrown .A wav.
Encouraged by his success in demolishing
the special agents the eloquent Senator, in
his peculiarly vigorous style, sailed into the
Geological Survey yesterday and boldly
moved to knock off several hundred thou
sand dollars of the contemplated appropria
tion for its support. In support of this
motion he made a speech that for frankness,
originality, brightness and good sense has
not been equaled in the Senate for many a
day.
He prefaced his remarks with a statement
that he v as not an enemy, but a devoted
friend to scientific research, and that he was
in favor of giving all proper encouragement
to the pursuit of knowledge and its dissemi
nation among the people. What he ob
jected to, however, was what he termed the
utter uselcssness of the Government Geo
logical Survey and the wasteful extrava
gance of vast sums" of money to carry out
its Quixotio investigations, the result of
which no man could ever see or understand.
Mr. "Wolcott brought to light in this con
nection the astonishing fact that the bureau
came into existence withoutdirectauthority
of law. In the shape of an amendment to an
appropriation bill, and that the vast sum of
50,822,105 has already been expended upon
the surveys. According to Mr. Wolcott,
the sole authority under which the director
of the survev carries on his expensive in
vestigations is found in an amendment to
the appropriation bill providing money for
the completion of a geological map of the
United States.
Tears of Laljor Wasted.
In 18S6 Major Powell assured the joint
Congressional committee that he would
complete the geological map in 20 vears,
and that it would cost SlS.O'JO.OOO. jiis re
port, filed in 1890, thows that at the then
rate of progress it would take more than 100
vcars to complete the map, and that it
would cost the United States more
than 5100,000,000, or probably in the
end more money than is involved
in the national debt, and all this in spite of
the fact that Prof. Agassiz, the son of the
gicat Aga'siz, reported to tlie committee in
August 18S6 that the work wai valueless
and expensive, and that the appropriations
for it were useless.
As an Illustration of his charge thai the
reports of tne geological survey are never
p-tblUhcd until years after they hate been
authorized. Senator Wolcott made the fol
lowing entertaining statement: "One of the
scientific men of the bureau was instructed
to report upon a mining district, 14 years
ago. There have been thousands and thou
sands of doil&rs expended up-m that survey.
Meanwhile the district was discovered, was
prospected, was worked, was developed,
thousands of dollars taken ont of it, and the
camp abandoned, but the report is not yet
furnished."
He added: "Take the illustrations of
Leadviile alone. It is a most valuable mon
ograph. Every surveyor that comes out
there fresh from college" writes me to get a
copy of the most magnificent publication
that is given away by the Government The
illustrations alone cost 528,000.
Not aThlng or Value Turned Oat.
"Everyone of these valuable monographs,
everyone of these valuable reports comes
after the fact There is not ablessed one of
them that guides the prospector. After
you have discovered your ore and taken it
out, these very intelligent and cultivated
men come along and say, 'that is beautiful.
I find here marvelous geological descrip
tions, showing just what happened it is
always just alter the fact It is beautiful
knowledge, but it is not the knowledge that
this Government shonld be called upon to
pav every year from 5500,000 to 51,000,000.
The Colorado Senator's vigorous charge
stirred up a lively debate, but his motion
was lost by a vote of 24 to 28. That as' a
remarkable opposition to be drummed up
against such a powerful combination as the
lriends of the Geological Survey, and it en
couraged its authors to persevere. Later
in the day, therefore. Senator Carey moved
to cut down the appropriations to Major
Powell's bureau to the extent of 5240,000,
and by a vote of 26 to 23 he succeeded.
It was a great victory and one the like of
which has not been seen in the Senate for
many years. The men who brought it about
now mean to follow it up by a complete ex
posure of the extravagant bureau that is
maintained, they say, Tjy the aid of lobby
ists and the effectivedistribution of patron
age, and their stilting point is the resolu
tion of Senator Carey calling for the names
of the employes of the bureau.

AN INDIAX MOUND OPENED.
Ilaman Skulls Exlinmed Upon an Illinois
Farm .1 Number of Curiosities Also
Discovered.
SPKlNGriF.LD, III., July 15. All the
time of the people of the State of Illinois is
not put in talking politics. Business is
dull around the country stores, and various
plans and expedients are employed to
pass the time. Over at Macomb, in Mc
Donough county, the gossip runs in the
way of some remarkable finds of Farmer
Morris Chase. His farm is situ
ated about a mile west of Ma
comb, and is dotted with several
curious shaped mounds which have excited
the curiosity of the neighbors for genera
tions. A week or two ago, while the
ground-was too wet to plow, Mr. Chase
made up his mind to investigate the mys
tery of the mounds. He selected the larg
est one on top of a hill for the first experi
ment. The hill is a little plateau and
slopes gracefully to the highway, probably
300 feet below. The mound was about 30
feet in circumference and was originally
smaller, but repeated plowings smoothed
it down and flattened it out
The soil is different from that
on the sides of the hill, being
much darker and mixed with fine
gravel. After digging into the mound
to a depth of about 18 inches a layer ot
mussel shells was found. The shells had
evidently been hauled three-quarters of a
mile from the creek and, while they
were arranged in irregular rows, it was im
possible to distinguish any figure or form
mat niignt possibly nave been constructed
by them. The dirt on top had evidently
been the accumulation of years. Beneath
the shells were disclosed bones and broken
pottery. The bones were those of
deer and included one piece of
antler six inches long. The pottery was
black and a quarter of an inch thick. Many
stones and coarse gravel were dug up, and
as all the rocks had been burned the sup
position is that it was the site of an Indian
potter's kiln. In another mound at a
depth of 20 inches an amount of clay burned
to a bright red w as lound. Under this as
a layer of earth, with which was mixed the
dust ot human bohes and pieces of human
skulls. This had evidently been the
burial place of an Indian warrior of
some note. A few feet from these
remnants ot humanity was discovered a
small kiln or large oven. Beneath thick
layers of burnt clay were sticks of charcoal.
The clay was bright red in color, and con
tained a little fine sand. Mr. Chase found
a number of arrow and spear heads, a stone
hominy hammer and other Indian curios.
There is no doubt that the hill was once the
site of a prosperous Indian village, prob
ably of the Peoria or Illinois tribe, for
they laid claim to that section of Illinois a
century ago. It is said there are other
mounds in McDonough and Warren coun
ties, and that none of them have been
examined, except those on the farm of Mr.
Chase.
FATAL ALCOHOLISM.
A Man Sentenced to Jail for Drunkenness
Dies in Confinement.
J. J. Wagner, about 38 years old, who
was committed to jail yesterday morning by
Magistiate Hyndman without a fine for
drunkenness, died in that institution at 7
o'clock last night
The man had been on a spree for several'
weeks, and was sent to jail at the request of
his wife, who adopted that measure of sober
ing him up. When the man was brought to
jail yesterday morning Warden McAleese
noticed that he was in a serious condition,
and at once summoned Jail Physician
Chessrown to care lor him. The latter
worked with the man until 5 o'clock, when
he left him in an improved condition.
About G o'clock the prisoner began to get
worse and Dr. Moyer was summoned, but
before he could .arrive the man died. The
body was removed to the, morgue, and his
wife, who lives at the corner of Ann and
Moultrie streets, Fourteenth ward, noti
fied. Tiie deceased was.employed driving a
beer wagon for Brewer Kinebart, of Second
avenue and Try street He leaves a wife and
four small children.

Mining States to Choose Independent
Electoral Tickets,
AIMING AT A BALANCE OF POWER.
Ko Candidate for President to Receive Their
Totes Unless
HE SURRENDERS THE RIGHT OP TET0
Helena, Mont., July 15. The Nation
al Mining Congress completed its labors
and adjourned this afternoon. The follow
ing resolutions were passed and will be
submitted to the United States Congress:
We declare that the responsibility for the
bullion in silver dollars now coined being of
less intrinsic value than the bullion in cold
dollars rests solely with those who demone
tized silver and forced the people to accept
the laws of 1878 and 1890, by which free
coinage of silver has been denied and tbo
purchase of bullion by the Government in
the lowest markets of the world substi
tuted instead; and declare our unaltera
ble conviction, based upon sound economic
principles and the actual experience of the
world between 1800 and 1800, when therela
tlve inciease in pioduction of gold in tho
United States and the lest of the world far
exceeded the relative increase of silver over
gold dming tho last decade, that the re
indict ization of silver by the United States
at the existing ratio will speedily restore
the intrinsic value of the silver dollars to
that of the gold dollar.
Timo Needed for the Proposed Test.
Whilo wo demand that the intrinsic value
of tne gold and silver dollars shall be equal,
wo protest against a test of value as to silver
bciu made while silver money is debased
a'ld the Government engaged under exist
ing laws in depressing the value of bullion
by purchasing it in the lowest markets; but
shall make tho necessary test after the full
ue of silver as money has been restored Tor
a leosonablo time. We declare the fieo
bi-motallic coinage of gold and silver
at the existing ratio to be tho most im-pmt-'nt
public question now unsettled in
the United States, as long as there is a lack
of sound metal money npon which to do the
business of the country, and upon which to
bae a full and fair volume of Governmental
paper money.
We urge that in every section of the coun
try, North as well as South, that true friends
of tree bi-mctallic coinage shall make
the unquestioning friendship of every candi
date for office bearing any relation whatever
to legislation upon thu subject, as one of the
chief tests of worthiness to receive their
suffrages; that it is only by clearly discern
ing the rizht and acting independently and
unflinchingly to undo the great wrong of
siler demonetization that the conspiracy
to lorce the United States to a single gold
stand. nd of money can be thwarted.
Efforts to influence the Presidental elec
tion took form in the following resolutions
passed to-dav:
f' The ElectorshlD Theorv fiXDnnnded.
Whereas, The theory of the Constitution
is that electors for President shall be men
of the highest dignity and integrity, lit to be
intrusted with the gravest concerns of tho
nation, and that they shall, when elected,
bo free to cast their DalloU lor such person
for Prestdent'as will best insure the safety,
honor and piosperity of the country; and
Wheieat, It has been the endeavor of the
opponents of bi-metallic coinage to secure
the election or candidates forthe Presidency
uy tne itennoiic.in ana xiemocrauc party,
who, if elected, will oppose the will or the
people by Executive veto whenever Con
cress shall express it In a free coinage bill;
anu
Whereas, As to vote as electors pledged
in advance to select either one or tho
other of them for President without condi
tion, will be an indorsement in advance of
a purpose to defeat the popular will: and
Whereas, In the silver States there is bnt
one sentiment In all three national parties
in regard to the full lemonetizatlonof sil
ver: therefore be It
Resolved, That wisdom and patriotism
hoth require that people of silver States and
State conventions of all parties therein shall
shape their action so as to secure the bal
ance of power, if that be possible. In the
Electoral College, to tho end that the Elec
tors elected by the people of suchStatos may
so act independently in the Electoral Col
lege as to defeat the election of any man a 3
President who will not agree that
Tho Will of the People, as Expressed
inany future act of Congress in relation to
silver, shall stand without executive inter
ference or veto; that in order to meet the
contingency of the possible election of a
President by the present Hnuso of Repre
sentatives, constituents of members of tho
present House be appealed to to demand of
all members of the House who are candi
dates tor re-election a promise that they
will support no manjbr President who will
not permit the wilt of tho people, as ex
pressed in any act of Congress upon the sil
ver question, to stand without Executive
veto.
Resolved, That commercial relations with
South and Central America and Mexico
should be cultivated and be made mote inti
mate; that they are the natural markets for
surplus manufactures and farm products,
and that It is of mutual interest and import
ance that the resolution passed by the Pan
American Congress in favor of an agreement
between all American nations that a uni
form silver coin be adopted which shall be
legal tender for all commercial transactions
between all American Governments should
be can led into effect.
The resolutions congratulate the World's
Columbian Exposition upon its wisdom and
progressiveness in establishing a Depart
ment of Mines to reflect in every way the
extensive scope of mining operations, eta,
and pledge united co-operation. A resolu
tion was adopted declaring that the Expo
sition should be open to the public Sun
days. The next session will be held at Salt Lake
December 2, belore the meeting of the Elec
toral College.

Lake Chautauqua Violators of Game Laws
Mill Be Raided.
Fish Warden Pamarr, ot New Castle,
was in Pittsburg assuring himself that Lake
Chautauqua belonged to the State, not to a
private corporation. Satisfied on this point
he proposes to go to that famous resort and
enforce the fish laws. He says a large num
ber of seines and nets are used there con
trary to law, and he intends to take a body
of deputies with him and put a stop to the
illegal practices and destroy the seines.
There is also a great deal of spearing done
there, as well" as using dynamite. These
latter ofienses are most prevalent in win
ter. Mr. Pamarr also stated that there were 42
fishing clubs camped on the Beaver 'river
along a distance of six miles.
Yesterday Fish Warden Hague held up
some violators almost within the shadow of
his office. He went up the Monongahela in
the afternoon in an Acme folding boat,
which is his constant companion. When he
reached Lock No. 1 he saw a man mending
a net in a shanty boat When told that the
net was wanted he objected until he saw
the badge, and then he gave it up. Under the
Baltimore and Ohio depot he also captured
a number of outlines that had been hung up
to dry.

Dispute.
Representative William A. Stone's bill
to establish a division line between the
property of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and
Chicago Bailroad and the Government
property near Davis Island dam passed
both branches of Congress yesterdav.
The bill was slightly amended in the
Senate owing to some mistakes made by the
engineers who surveyed the line. It will
dispose of a question that has caused the
Government and Fort Wayne Bailroad
much vexation.

THE S0LDIEES OF SOUDAN.
They Are Very Impetuous and Require a
Bold Officer to Handle Them.
Cotemportry Review.
The Soudanese troops are vastly interest
ing. The jet-black creatures, resembling
amiable gorillas in face, of all heights and
only one thickness, narrow hipped, thin
chested, with no backs to their heads and
no calves to their legs, are liked and trusted
by their officer) to a remarkable extent
There is little of the red Indian in them;
they would not fire into a sandhill or stand
still to be cut down.
The Dervish is their oppressor and natural
enemy, and they only desire the oppor
tunity to "get at him," at as close quarters
as possible. They are children in their
love of decoration and their whims and
their devotion to their officers. They are
savage in their dislike of discipline and
their passionate impatience of restraint on
the battlefield.
For this reason to keep them back they
have more English officers to a battalion
than Egyptian troops. They detest drill
and blank cartridge. They are enthusiastic
over every rumor of approaching fight
I was told a delightful story ot one recent
action in which they took a prominent part
The enemy was under cover not far ofl; but
the firing line of blacks were blazing away
at him as fast as they could open and close
up their rifles. In vain their officers tried to
stop them. The waste of ammunition
threatened to become'extremely serious,and
their commanding officer, a Scotchman who
had seen many fights with them, losing his
temper, rode up and down behind the line,
cursing them with every abusive epithet in
a fairly adequate vocabulary of Arabic in
vective. Hut entirely without enect
At last one of them happened to turn,
and discovered the beloved Bey in evident
ly a very excited state of mind. He at
once rose, lan back to him, aud, patting
him reassuringly on the boot, he said:
"Don t be frightened, iiey. It s all
right We're here; we'll take care of
you!"
The Scotch Bey, however, was equal to
the occasion. He rode out through the line,
and ualked his horse up and down in front
of the rifles. "Now," he said, "if you must
fire, fire at me." After this it is not sur
prising to read in dispatches that this officer
has twice recently had his horse shot under
him.
THE BUMP0LOGY OF H0BBES.
The Faces of the Equine All Tell Many
Different Stories.
"There is a horse with a benevolent coun
tenance," said a gray whiskered Individual
to a Chicago Daily Globe reporter, at the cor
ner of Clark and Washington streets, as he
patted the nose of a cab horse. "Now," he
continued, "you, in all probability, see no
difference between this horse and others, ex
cept in its color and a spavin or so. There
is as much dissimilarity in the facial expres
sion of horses as of human beings. Horses
cannot talk and must give vent to their
feelings in action and expression. Take,
for example, the dray horses of Chicago.
As a rule their faces say, almost as plainly
as a man could express it in speech, 'We
are doomed to a lifetime of toil. It is not
our idea ot life, but we cannot help our
selves and are resigned to our fate.'
"The cab horses stand at their posts rest
lessly with dropping heads but watchful
eyes, and their expression is one of relief
and eagerness to move when the reins are
drawn tight and the order comes to 'get up.'
The street car norse nas the vacant expres
sion of one who does his work by, routine,
and whose thoughts are anywhere but in
the present
"Notice that carriage team. The horses
are members of the equine 400 and thev
know it Theyare as couscious of their sleek
coats and shining harness as a dnde is of his
London made clothes. See the way tfiey
arch their necks. You charge it to the check
reins but you are wrong; it is their consci
ousness ot superiority which causes them to
hold up their heads.
"I spend every moment that I am on the
street watching the countenances of the
horses. I began studying them years ago
and it will repay any one to do so. Study
them, young man, and I promise you'll find
as many interesting countenances along the
curbstones as on the sidewalks"
The student of equine physiognomy
walked away and th: cab horse smiled.

OIL AT THE SEASHORE,
A Baltimore Inventor Proposes to Save the
Coney Island Beach.
New York Herald.
To save the beaches at Coney Island and
Bong Branch from devastation by the sea by
spreading oil upon the surf as it rushes
upon the sand, thereby preventing the
waves from breaking against the shore, is
the ambitious project of Everett D. Moore,
a Baltimore inventor, who is now stopping
at the Morton House, having come to this
city to interest owners of ocean front
property in his scheme.
His plan is to station cannon along the
beaches as soon as the stormy weather sets
in and whenever the waves become danger
ously high, to fire seaward from these guns
cannisters filled with oil, which are so con
structed that they will begin to leak as soon
as they strike the water. By this means
the sea will be covered for a long distance
off shore with a film ot oil that may prevent
the waves from breaking on the sand.
Each of the projectiles will be attached
to a line by which it can be drawn ashore
to be reloaded and retired. Its return
course will thus be marked by an oleaginous
waste which, the inventor says, will greatly
add to the value of the operation.
Another use to which the apparatns can
be put will be to smooth a way through the
angry surf when a lifeboat is about to be
sent off to a shipwrecked vessel.
Pardoned From the Penitentiary.
John Lawless, a convict at the Western
PenitentiaYy, was released yesterday on a
pardon issued by the Pardon Board. Law
less has been an inmate at Biverside for two
months, and was to have served one year
and six months. The cime for which he
was imprisoned was an aggravated assault
and battery on a nsighbor in Clearfield
county. He is well known there, and it
was through his friends and relatives that a
pardon was secured.
The Batlo of Oar Growth.
Columbus Dispatch.
It was stated at Wells Post last night
that this country has subject to enlistment
8,000,000 of men for war purposes, and that
in 1900 10,000,000 would be subject to en
listment, and onJulv 4, 1976, 23,000,000,
provided our population continues to in
crease at the ratio that it has since 1860. It
will then have been 750,000,000. How we
do grow! '
A Match Between Birds.
The latest London Idea is the linnet
singing competition. The birds in their
cages are placed on a table and incited to
sing. Bets are placed on the different birds,
but the money is not won on the bird that
sings first nor longest The winner is the
one that in a given timo executes the great
est number ot notes, rings the greatest num
ber of changes or gives the finest run of
trills.
Properties of Linseed Oil.
The value of linseed oil on woods is the
fact that, In drying, it has all the properties
of 'a cement and also a varnish. It unites
the coloring matters in a homogeneous
layer, and gives a gloss to the whole which

He Arrives in A'merica With a Long
list of Political Wrongs.
RECENT TROUBLES AT HONOLULU.
A Kapidly Growing Desire for Annexation
to the United States.
IMMEDIATE CAUSE F0K EXPULSION
San Francisco, July 15. Colonel
Volney Vaillancourt Ashford, one of the
leaders of the Hawaiian Patriotic League,
was arrested In Honolulu on May 17 last who
with Robert W. Wilcox and 80 others on a
charge of treason, but was afterward re
leased, arrived yesterday on the brig John
D. Spreckels from Katmlui. When re
leased from the Government prison by the
the advice ot friends he chartered the
steamer Hawaii and went to the island of
Hawaii, afterward boarding the brig at sex
Ashford has considerable to say about the
traubles in Honolulu, and expresses him
self both freely and intelligently.
The arrest of so many members of the
league on charges of treason he considers
spite work on the part of Queen Liliuoka
lani. He claims that had the league prom
ised to coincide with her desire to return to
the Constitution which was in force prior
to 1887, which gave the sovereign the power
of appointing the nobles, no arrests would
have been made. Ashford also asserts that
the present Constitution and Government
are most unsatisfactory to the Hawaii peo
ple, and that they are, as a rule,.favorable
to annexation. The United States is their
first choice. Ashford has an uncle, W. W.
Ashford, residing at Haywards, and will
visit there. On Honolulu advices will de
pend his future movements.
Sorry He Came Away.
"I am more than half sorry, "said Colonel
Ashford, "that I came away. At the ex
amination before Supreme Justice Dale
there were many things which I wanted to
come out, but they were suppressed. On
May 17, the day before the arrests, the lead
ers of the Hawaiian Patriotic League, of
which I was one of the Executive Commit
tee, were threatened with immediate arrest
unless we agreed to stand by an ultimatum
that was presented by members of
the Queen's party. Wilcox was sent
for at his place near Waikiki and
requested to meet Kanui and Kekipi
at the office of the Elele, the Queen's news
paper, and give a final answer In behalf of
the league regarding the ultimatum, which
was the backing of a plan by which the
Queen would proclaim the old Constitution
in force, with the additional prerogative of
appointing or dismissing the Supreme
Justices, who now hold office for life. Wil
cox declined, and was then informed that
the arrest of all the members of the league
would follow his refusal.
"Over 80 arrests were made on Mivy 18
on warrants for treason sworn out by Mar
shal Wilson, who is most intimate with the
Queen. All the cases came before Chief
Justice Dale. It is a most unusual occur
rence for initiatory criminal proceedings to
be commenced before a Supreme Justice.
There are other courts which have always
taken jurisdiction in criminal matters aud
the only reason for this exception, it was
commonly reported, was that the Justice
was known, by opinions previously ex
pressed, to be most desirous for the break
ing upof the Hawaiian Patriotic League,
to which all the alleged conspirators be
longed. An Oath-Bound Political League.
"The league was organized by E. W.
Wilcox and myself, and was in the nature
of a political club. Each member toininc
took an oath. The league was established
for the promotion ot justice and equal
rights in the political government of Ha
waii 'of the people, for the people and by
the people.' At the time of the arrests the
league had over 250 members. At each
meeting a change in the Constitution was
atritated that would give the poor the same
rights as the rich in their franchise as
voters.
"It should be here stated that previous
to the revolution of 1887 in which I was
leader of the military which deprived
King Kalakaua of many of his then prerog
atives, the sovereign then had the right to
appoint all of the nobles in the Legislature,
consisting of one-halt of that body, which
numbered in total 48 members. By the
constitution of 1887 the King was deprived
of this right, and it was given to all resi
dents, whether native or alien except
Asiatics who owned ?3,000 worth of real
estate unincumbered or received an income
of SC00 a year or over. As comparatively
few of the natives were noble voters by
either their property or income qualifica
tions, the result was the putting of the
election ot the nobles exclusively into the
hands of the whites. The nobles and rep
resentatives sit together as a legislative
body. The representatives are elected by
a general vote of citizens and are districted,
while the nobles are elected at large and by
a property yote. Thus it is that this latter
vote not only puts the nobles in office but
ejects enough representatives to give that
side of the House a working majority vote.
A Cause of Dissatisfaction.
"Many other changes were made by the
new Constitution, but this property clause
was the principal one to cause the intense
dissatisfaction that has made the native
people seek a change in that part of the
governing laws. The league designed to
remedy this evil by constitutional meas
ures, and it was not, as sought to be
shown by the authorities, a political con
spiracy. "The Wilcox insurrection of 1889 was
instigated to regain the lost prerogatives of
the sovereign. Wilcox had been recalled by
the present Queen, then Mrs. Dominls. He
lived in her house and marched from there
with an armed lorce to the palace. This in
surrection was abortive, several men were
killed and the trouble only lasted one day.
At that time 1 was in command of the
military, and a number of prisoners were
taken. The cases against them were pushed,
but not a native jury was found who would
bring in a verdict ot conviction.
"At the time of the 1887 revolution I
helped to frame the present Constitution
and was strongly in favor of the differen
tial franchis3 clause simply as a war meas
ure. Since thaf time the necessity has
ceased, for this way ot electing the nobles
is a one-sided affair. Moreover, the natives,
who are in a vast majority, will never be
satisfied until they receive what they con
sider equal political rights; therefore, aside
from the abstract principle, it is a crying
neccssitv to change the manner of electing
the nobles. At present, in the opinion of
Hawaiians, the island Government is a
minority of aliens, and it was to agitate for
a remedy of this political evil that the
league was organized.
The Quoen Changed ner Mind.
"Queen Liliuokalani and her party knew
all about the league and recognized its
workings up to the time she found its mem
bers refused to assist her to acquire the lost
prerogatives of appointing the nobles and
the Supreme Judges. She wanted an abso
lute power which she is not" likely to get,
for the tendency of the people is for a more
Democratic Government The Queen has
openly stated that had she known of Kiug
Kalakaua's death in time she would have
declared a new Constitution with all the
prerogatives she wanted in it
"Tbe're is a spreading tendency at the isl
ands in favor of annexation. The people
want it, and it will come sooner or later.
The United States Government is the one
they would prefer being under England as
a second choice. Annexation has got to
come some day, and the Government that
gets the Hawaiian Islands will get a big
plnm."

in Port Hope, Canada. He is a pleasant
spoken man, about 5 feet 10 .inches high,
and wears flowing side whiskers. At Hono

ALLEGHENY'S BOND ISSUE.
Resolution for a Special Flection to Be Pre
sented Next Thursday.
Mayor Kennedy has not yet sent out to
citizens of Allegheny the letters asking for
expressions of opinion on the proposed
issuance of bonds for public improvements.
He wishes to mail all of them at once, and
is. having them addressed as rapidly as
possible.
At the meeting of Allegheny Councils
next Thursday evening a resolution will
probably be introdnced ordering the sub
mission of the question to the vote of the
people, at a special election. Mayor Ken
nedy thinks this election should" be held
later than the Presidental election and prior
to the municipal primaries in the early part
of the new year. He does not wish to have
the issue obscured by any other question.
The Mayor will be glad to explain the
proposition to any citizen who desires to
secure information.

fssential to success.
TIMELY YIEWS OP CHARLES IT. CRAMP
Philadelphia, July 15. The attention
of Mr. Charles H. Cramp has been called to
an article in the London Engineer under the
heading of "American Atlantic Liners,"
the theme of the article being the proposed
transfer of the City of 2few York and the
City of Paris to American registry and the
construction of two or more vessels of
similar character in American shipyards.
The British journal expresses the opin
ion that "no American shipbuilder or en
gineer can construct a 20-knot vessel suita
ble for the Atlantic passenger trade," and
adds that "if the proposed ships attain the
promised necessary speed, it may be taken
for granted that the work will be achieved
by British brains."
Regarding the first proposition, Mr.
Cramp said it was true that no vessels of
the class referred to by the editor of the
Engineer had been builtby "American ship
builders or engineers." That fact would
stand for what it might be worth, but it
must be a narrow and prejudiced viewv
which would accept such a fact as concln-"
sive evidence in the negative for the future.
He presumed that even the highest British
authority would admit that the Americans
had always done exceedingly well such
ship-building work as they had to do. Cir
cumstances had excluded them from partic
ipation in the struggle for the North Atlan
tic trade since the Civil 'War.
Any Amount of Ability.
During that period the principal energies
of American brain, capital and. handicraft
had been expended in directions other
than ship building, but Mr. Cramp thought
that any competent judge who surveyed
what had been done for the navy in Ameri
can shipyards during the past six or seven
years must admit that the ability to design
and build first-rate ships for any or all pur
poses had by no means departed from the
American side of the ocean.
"I think it perfectly safe to say," pur
sued Mr. Cramp, "that our achievements in
naval constrnction, from the Yorktown to
the New York and the battle-ships, have
been a constant succession of surprises to
our British neighbors.
"I was among the first to advise the
Secretary of the Navy then Hon. "William
O. "Whitney to buy all the latest and most
approved English designs and plans
he could get, and when his policy
in that respect was attacked by the opposi
tion in Congress I defended his action
from the practical or professional point of
view. The British designs of men-of-war
represented experience which had been de
nied to builders on this side. "We took
them and built upon them. "We did not by
any means copy them with servility, but
we took them for what they were worth
as results of British experience, applied to
them the benefits of our own skill and in
genuity, and I venture to say that no com
petent English builder will maintain that
the design ot tne .Baltimore, lor example,
suffered in our hands.
Can iqaal or Excel England.
"The same or similar conditions are true
of transatlantic liners. Six months ago I
discussed this question in some of its most
important bearings in the pages of the
JVorfft American Review. I there maintained
that we were amply able to equal or excel
tne perlormance ottne existing untisft built
ships, class for class and rate for rate. I said
that we would not copy British models or
imitate British shop practices; pointing out
at the same time that considerable difference
existed in these respects between different
builders on that side.
"I agreed with the editor of the Engineer."
said Mr. Cramp, "in his assertion that the
men who possess the ability to build such
ships, even in Great Britain and Ireland,
can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
In the Korth American Bcvinc, the paper I re
ferred to I said, 'Although Great Britain
had more shipyards than the rest of the
world combined, there were not more than
three or four of them which would be con
sidered bv any of the great
steamship companies in connection with a
first rate model vessel such as is now re
quired for transatlantic mail and passen
ger service.' This is another form ot" the
same proposition and, at least quite as em
phatic. But the fact that such talent is
scarce in England does not prove its total
absence here. The old adage about the
'proof of the pudding will apply in this
instance. That Atlantic liners will soon
be built in American shipyards is beyond
doubt
Another Bnrprise for Foreigners.
"If they equal or excel the performance
of British-built ships of the same class it
will be only another surprise in store for
our British friends, even more disagreeable,
perhaps, than the discovery a few years ago
that we could build first-class men-of-war."
Mr. Cramp was asked what he thousht
about the question of properly manning
such ships uuder the American flag to which
the engineer refers in the same article.
"Unquestionably," replied Mr. Cramp,
"the adequate manning, of say, four snch
ships with purely American officers and
men would be a much more serious problem
than the construction of the ships, at least
in the beginning. It is well known that
thongh our navy is the best paid, best fed
and best clothed of any in the world, only a
small minority of its enlisted men are
native Americans. The same is true to
some extent of all our ocean
steam snipping. American born sea
men for borne reason appear to prefer
sailing craft; and when they ship in
steamers it is mainly as sailors or deck
hands. "Very few of them attempt the close
confinement and hard work of the fire-rooms
and coal bunkers, hence the fire-room force
on American ships is largely composed of
foreigners, and doubtless will continue so.
However, there is no lack of competent
officers for command. Limited as our ocean
going steam marine is, it yet contains some
of the very ablest and most skilful captains
and engineers afloat
"Whatever might be the initial difficulty
on the score of personnel it would soon dis
appear. The successful establishment of a
great and popular American line equal or
superior to any other would soon resurrect
the maritime pride and ambition of the
Americans which have lain dormant so many
years."

JATAL RESULTS
That May Follow Neglected
Catarrhal Trouble.
Earache, Deafness, Headache, Dyspep
Bla and Chronic Diarrhea, as Well
as Bronchitis, Nervous Prostration
and Consumption, Are In tho "Wake
of This Insidious Enemy of Man
kind A Case " niustratlnff It Th
Plain Truth.
The course of catarrhal trouble, extend"
ing throughout the system, involving the)
head, throat, chest and lnnss, the stomach
and the kidneys, has been commented upon
in the articles printed from time to time in
these columns by Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Oyers, but nothing emphasizes the truth of
these articles so practically and so strongly
as cases of individual experience, showing;
Jnst how catarrh does extend even to the
cars, causing the most Intense, agonizing
earache and headache; to the stomach, caus
ing dyspepsia, indigestion, chronic and
acute diarrhea, dysentery, etc.; to the
bronchial tubes and lung, cansing chronlo
cough, bronchitis, asthma, consumption,
etc., and finally weakening the general sys
tem so by depleted blood and inanition, dna
to lack of the stomach and bowels to per
form their normal functions of digestion
and assimilation, that utter nervous pros
tration and general debility ensue.
Every spring and summer we hear people
sayinsc: "I must take something to purify
my blood," "or tone up my system," eta,
etc., and they are encouraged in this line of
reasoning by factors nnd venders of patent
medicine compounds.
Why shonld the blood be anymore Impure
in tho spring and summer than during the
winter, except; tnac tne system is aepieteu
by the result of neglected colds contracted
during the cold season?
These "colds." as we Illustrate by to-day'a
statement are capable of affect
ing every tissue and membrane
of the body, and there is only one
way to get rid or this "enemy of mankind,"
and that is by availing yourself of the
prompt, efficient anil snre method of treat
ment as practiced by Drs. Copeland, Hall,
and Byers.
BEAD AMD STOMACH TROUBLE.
Mr. John Hefner, East Liverpool, Ohio, De
scrlb?s How Neglected Catarrh Afieoted
His Head and Stomach and How He
Was Cured by Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers.
"I had been troubled two years with my
head and stomncli," say3 Mr. John Hefner,
who is a teamster in the emplov of Mr. Will
lam Sells, contractor, Eat Liverpool, O.
"It was no doubt brought on by exposure to
all kinds of weather, and the result of neg
lected colds. My nostrils were always
clogged by mncous, which also dropped
down Into my throat, causing me to hawk to
dislodge, and I was often attacked by tho
most excruciating headaches which would
lay me off from my wort several days at a
time.
"My stomach also became affected to such
an extent.that it was with difficulty I ate
enough to keep up sufficient strength to
enable me to get through with my work. I
would get such fearful attacks of heart-
Mr. John Bener, East Liverpool, O.
bnrn that I would be worth nothing for
hours afterward.
"I bad doctored and doctored without
benefit, until one month ago I decided to go
to Pittsonrg and consult Drs. Copeland, Hall
and Byers. They examined me carefully,
and told mo my head and stomach trouble
came from catarrh, and that they could cure
me if I would follow their Instructions faith
fully. They gave me a month's supplr of
medicine to take home; and I must say thai
I have not been tronbled with my head and
stomach since the second day's treatment.
It is simply miraculous how quick the medi
cine took: effect. I cheerfully recommend
them to all my friends and tne public who
may be suffering with any chronic trouble,
as I know they understand their business
perfectly."

Drs. Copeland. Hall and Byers are orig

many may imitate their style of advertising,
the thorongb, conscientions and, skillful
methodof their treatment can be approached

Please Remember.
That this is the mostTavorable season of
the year for treating catarrh andits kindred
ailments, as the climatic conditions are per
fect and nature aids the treatment instead
or retards it, as Is the case during the win
ter. That more can be accomplished In one
month's treatment now than in three
months while the unfavorable influences
are present.
That as the wise man "mends his roof
while the sun shines, so should the sufferer
from catarrh seek treatment during this
most favorable season.
That catarrh, especially when compli
cated by ear trouble, asthma,cbronio cough,
bronchitis, etc.. etc., cannot be cured in a
few weeks, but requires a thorough course
of systematic and persistent treatment to
permanently eradicate.
That if chronic catarrh could be cured
in a month, Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers
would charge many times more than $5 a
mouth for such a thorough svstem or treat
ment as they employ. Tho $5 rate was in.
