AMERICAN INFLUENCE IN THE
SANDWICH ISLANDS.

Late advices from the Sandwich Islands
by mail contain the gratifying intelligence
that in the election of Prince William c.
Lunalilo to the vacant throne of that
kingdom, and the defeat Of his rival,
David Kalakaua, the American and for
eign influence won signal triumph over
the old native party. Kalakaua was sup.
ported by the old ministerial party,
while his more successful rival was the
candidate Of the liberal and progressive
element of the people, who are not
alarmed at the growing influence and
power of the foreign population. And
while it is generally conceded that this
election postpones. for the time, all
prospects of immediate annexation, yet
It is thought by the best informed that
this event cannot be long delayed, as
with the limited revenues of the country,
and the extravagant expenditures neces-
sarily incurred in keeping up the dignity
of royalty in the Islands, the country
will soon be plunged into hopeless bank
ruptcy, when this country will be called
upon to cancel the Indebtedness and as
sumo the sovereignty of the country.
King Lunalilo will call around him as
Ministers of State the ablest and best
men of his kingdom, in which the
American element will be largely repre-

CONGRESSIONAL.
HOUSE,

Washington, Feb. After the dispo-
sal of few private bills, the House went
into Committee of the Whole on the
Military Academy bill, appropriating
S349,5l7 for its support.
Coburn moved to strike out the clause
which gives the Secretary of War dis
cretionary power to substitute for the
professorship of Spanish professorship
of rhetoric and English literature.
During the discussion relative to the
Importance to military education of
Spanish, French and German languages,
the question was fully canvassed, 1t
was contended that the close relations
between the United States and Mexico,
the West Indies and other Spanish
American countries, rendered knowl-
edge of Spanish on the part of army
officers desirable.
Butler spoke of the acquisition of
Mexico as thing that would take place
during the present generation.
Coburn contended that the American
boy was now born who would issue a
proclamation from Moro Castle, Havana.
Committee rose, amendments agreed
to, and bill passed

Salt Lake.

Salt Lake, Feb S.-The all-absorbing
topic to-day is the report of the Presi-
dents so-called aggressive policy towards
Utah, in the transfer of troops to this
vicinity. The News, the Mormon organ,
is evidently much exasperated, and says
if the dispatch is true, those who are
faint-hearted would do well to embrace
the opportunity to get out of the way,
but those determined to trust in God to
the end will welcome this occasion to
prove faithful, even unto death. The
Journal (Gentile) says there is terror in
camp owing to this indication of a stern
determination OF the President to enforce
the laws in Utah. Loyal people were
never more encouraged and hopeful.

GONE To SOUTH AMERICA. -.

GONE To SOUTH AMERICA. - Henry
Janin, concerning whose repute as a
diamond expert many and various opin-
ions have been advanced has, as we
learn from the San Francisco Chronicle,
taken his departure for the sunny skies
and bracing climate of South America.
That paper says:
Henry Janin, the mining expert, who
became somewhat unpleasantly famous
in connection with the great diamond
swindle so cleverly put up by Arnold,
made a very great error in judgment
which he repaired as far as in his
power lay. And yet he remained, SO to
speak, under a cloud; and not caring
particularly to expert upon Pacific coast
mines, concluded to seek pastures new,
and his present destination is South
America, where there are the riches OF
Ophir and the treasures of Goconda, so
they say. Dame Rumor says that Gen.
j. W. Gashwiler and other enterprising
and far-reaching mining operators have
organized a sort of Credit Mobilier
among themselves, and dispatched Mr..
Janin to report upon some of these rich
mines. They all deserve riches for ex-
tending their researches so far, and if the
treasures of South America can be made
to flow through the Golden Gate into the
lap of San Francisco, no one can COM
plain. Should Janin find veritable
unsated diamond field, everybody will
rejoice.

The Bank Of England has again re-
duced the rate Of interest one-half per
cent, making it 81 as against five per
cent. three months ago. 1t is thought
in financial circles that the present low
rate of interest in London will have
tendency to cheaper money in this coun-
try by causing large sums to seek invest
ment on this side OF the water, where the
rates of interest are more than double
that of European countries.

DEATH OF GOVERNOR GEARY.-John w.

time prominent candidate for the posi-
ton Of United States Senator from Cal

Pennsylvania, his native State, and at
the breaking out OF the civil war went
into the Union army and served until
the close of the war with distinction, and

enlisting the services of Uncle Nye in
aid of his enterprising scheme, who has

$4,000, 900 at FIVE per cent. interest for
twenty years. AS there seems to be a

dies at Washington just now, we are APP

The Champion Hog.

We have on one or two occasions,
says the Troy Press, given an ac-
count Of the extraordinary feats of
the famous eater employed in the
brewery Of Fitzgerald Bros, of this
city. The first feat Of which pub.
lie notice was given was his con-
sumption, for a bet of $25, of an
eleven.pound boiled ham, four
pounds of corned beef, two loaves
of bread, dozen cups of coffee, and
three pies, which feat he accom-
plished but an hour and a half be-
fore partaking Of his usual dinner.
He afterwards offered a challenge
to any man in the states Of Massa-
chusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and
New York, to eat more of any kind
of food for bet of 5000, but had no
one to take him up, with the excep-
tion of q man in southern Massa-
chusetts, who boastcd that he could
eat twice as much as the brewery
man, and afterwards swallow onr
home champion besides, but this
Massachusetts, man never made his
appearance.
The brewery man now offers to
eclipse all his former efforts by the
following feat: There will be a
double wedding party from North
Adams, at the Mansion House, on
the 18th inst, and the champion
offers to wager 500 that he can cat
at one sitting, the food prepared Oh
that occasion for the entire party!
