STRAY GHINAMEN.

On three successive evenings Ell
trance has been effected to the upper
story of houses in Nuuanu Avenue
while the family was down stairs, by
a Chinaman. On the first occasion
access was gained from the branch
of tree which overspread the upper
verandah, the man was seen by
little child only who was too fright
ened to moye or speak. On Tues
day, however, he tried another house
where a lady saw him, snatched up
and fired pistol which sent John
sliding down the verandah post. The
police being notified were on the
alert last night, but so also was John
who wisely staid away frightened
probably by the experience of the
night before.
Perhaps these occurrences may
tend to strengthen the hands of Mr..
G. Brown in the Legislature, and
induce the Committee of thirteen to
arrange for improving the efficiency
of police, even to the unwonted ex-
tent of patrolling the high roads
within mile of the Station House.

The ostrich is an animal who,
when pursued, conceals its head,

1t is useless to cry peace, peace,

Hon. S. B. Dole made manly

subject, which followed.

AMERICAN DYvAMITE.

There is lack of evidence to sustain
the assertions Of London papers that the
dynamiters last arrested il England are
from the United States, OF. have any con
nection with, the sc. called American dy-
nanitssparty. But on the supposiIion
that they are American cltizens. why
should the whole responsibility for their
dassardly doings be thrown UPON our
government I? The claim Of the London
Times that American law has no word
to Say about them" is false. We have a
law to prevent the shipping Of explo.
sives and it is to be presumed that our
custom house officers make an earnest
effort TO enforce the law. 1t is not ow.
ing to cnlpable negligence that some Of
these conspirators, with their internal
machines. slip through the official fingers
Governments officers over here are M
more to blame lin this matter than the
English authorities who permit dynamit-
ers to land at English ports. The prop.

WEAKNESS Of Lecturing,

Theodore Tilton, just before he
sailed for Europe, confessed to an ln-
speakable WEAKNESS of lecturing. Tho
distances are so great, the difficulty of
making connections so as to fill engage
ments are so numerous and provoking,
there are such terrible exposures to
storms and floods, the fare in most
places is so poor, and all ones civilized
habits are so broken up in winter that
he looked forward to seasons work
with positive dread. "Yet here I am,
after going through the floods of last
winter and being held q prisoner for
days, in the best of health, and going
abroad to get materials for next win
ter's Lectures. I want to write, but am
obliged to talk. I feel that / was made
for authorship, yet fate is determined
to get oratory out of me. But the peo-
pie are infinitely kind, and every year
l am more than ever amazed with the
growth of the country and its increas-
ing refinement. Why, 1 was engaged
to lecture in Kansas town last winter
which l have never heard of. 1t is
younger than one of my daughters.
Yet l found there a beautiful opera
house, crowded with people who were
as richly and fashionably dressed as
any audience 1 ever faced in this city or
Brooklyn. The West is growing away
from u.s." And away he went.-Mer-
chants ReUieaU.

SERIOUS CHARGES.


The Dakota capital commission, which
about, q year ago located the territorial
capital at Bismarck, much to the sur
prise OF every body, is being investigated,
and 'pay dirt" has been struck. In
order to render the commission unbiased
in their selection they were prohibited
from buying property in the site selected
within stated time. Il is said to have
been ascertained that the treasurer of
the commission, M. w. Scott, of Grand
Forks. received deeds to twenty lots in
Bismarck Just before the selection of
that place for the capital. Some Of the
deeds were transmitted through d. M.
Holmes, Of Grand Forks, who saws he
received $4,000 from Scott for his
services. The location of the capital did
pot provestos sbe Of great advantage to
Bismarck. The boom lasted only a few
weeks, and now the place is duller than
it was before. The only property hold
ars who made money were those who
sold within month after the location Of
the capital. The lesson will doubtless
not be lost upon spectators in that ter
ritory. :.

Uses OF Paper Pulp.

Under the generic term of paper,
other substances used in combination
with paper pulp are comprehended in
general descriptions and occasional
notices. When some wonderful story is
read of the substitution of paper for
wood, stone, the metals, for mortar
and plaster and concrete and other
compositions, the reader should not
understand that it is the material de-
fined by Webster as "a substance
formed into thin shreds or leaves, made
of pulp obtained from rags, straw, bark,
or like materials, pressed and dried"
Paper, for SO many and differing uses
as are attributed to it, must have some
thing else besides a vegetable pulp in
its composition. In fact, the term
apaper" is misnomer for products that
derive all their special qualities from
foreign materials, held together by the
paper pulp acting as o matrix. Thus,
asbestos, in flaments or powder, may
be mixed with paper pulp to form a
convenient uninfammable and possibly
an incombustible material, shaped while
plastic to convenience for special uses.
So, clays in almost impalpable dust
may become part of the paper pulp
production, and be q substitute for
other materials. Other mineral SUBJ
stances may be mixed with the pulp,
and, in short, there appears to be
scarcely any limit to the uses that may
be made of paper pulp mixed with for
eign substances, nodded and pressed to
form. scientific american.

ENGLISH Law.

An interesting decision has Just been
given by an English justice. A lunatic
in the charge of the poor law guardians
committed suicide. The widow brought
suit against the institution for damages,
on the ground Of negligence, and was
awarded $l,650. The two points on
which the judge sustained the verdict
were a lack of caution in confning the
patient in a properly guarded ward, and
lack of attention on the part Of the at
tendants. This decision may be Of i'm.
portance to the friends of mentally un-
sound persons intrusted to state care.
In Cook County, for example, there have
been several suicides on which actions
for damage might as easily be sustained.
The most recent instance of the kind.
was the suicide, in the county jail, Of
Jeremiah Kennedy, sentenced to con-
finement in an asylum for the insane.
with an additional death sentence for
murder in case he should be restored to
reason. He managed 10 secure razor,
walk to the dark hole, and cut his
throat, thing proper care should have
prevented.

TIE STEINMAN.

The inquiry into the loss of the Dan.
iei Steinman has made the case look
much worse for tile captain. The
weather does not appear to have been
thick enough to explain his alleged mis-
take in the lights, and tho sounding he
got should have told him that he was
lar too near shoa. water. In fact, il
does not seem possible now to acauit
him of grave lack of Judgment in push
ing forward when all the signs indicated
shat he was in dangerous locality. AS
to his conduct after the ship struck
thefais leas room for censure, He ap.
pears to have been doing what he could
to save life when the great wave rolled
over the sinking steamer, and swept crew
and passengers together into the sea.
NO man could make head against such
conditions. But for putting the steamer
ron the rocks the captain will probably he
held to account, and it may be antici.
pafed that the sentence passed upon
him will be exemplary and rot hesitas-
ing or timorons. In such cases as his
severity is demanded in the public in
tesests, and pity for the officer who cas-
his ship away where he might have
sayed her is out Of place.

FATAL coLLlERY EXPLOSION.

Two Men Killed in Mine Near Eliza
beth, Pa.
ELIZABETH, Pa, April 14.-Shortly
after 5 o'clock this morning an explos-
ion of fire damp occurred in the coal
mine of Jno. A. Wood & Sons, near
here, killing two men instantly and in
juripg several others. The dead bodies
of James Painter and James Stevenson
have just been brought ont of the mine,
horribly burned and blackened. The
unfortunate men went to work at 5
o'clock and had just reached the point
where they were to labor when the ex-
plosion occurred, fire damp igniting
from their lamps. At first It was
thought many others were in that part
of the mine and had persisted, but 1t is
now certain that they were the only
ones killed. VIM. Kent was 600
yards from the explosion and
was severely injured by being
violently thrown down. Workman Sim
mons, who was half mile away, was
struck on the head by flying pick and
sustained serious injury. A number of
others were bruised and cut by flying
deb,is. Willing workers have been at
the scene all morning, but their labors
have been interfered with by foul gases,
and they have only succeeded at noon in
reaching the bodies. Both victims were
young men of family. Boys playing in
the mine, yesterday, are supposed to
have left trap door open which al
lowed the collection of the fatal gas.
The explosion fortunately occurred
when but few men had gone to work, or
else the loss of life must have been

CYCLONE SIGNALS.

{ l r. r ~ f.
In the states where the people live in
apprehension OF tornadoes, cyclones and
storms fatal to life and destructive to
property, in addition to the suggestion
OF storm cellars and caves, it is proposed
to have system of signals to warn the
people of the approach Of violent storms
to enable them to retreat to their places
of safety. One OF the signal service off
GERS proposes that railroad trains shall
have system of alarm by means of flags
and whistles. A prominent journal at
hand of that region proposes also that a
weather bell and weather flag be provided
in all lvillages that have telegraph line.
The fact that the most destructive of the
storms of the past year were not even
anticipated by the government weather
regulators, will not afford much assur-
ance in the use of any of these monitory
expedients. The only absolute security
is in removing to Dakota or some of the
western districts that are out of the cy-
clone range.

Outrunning Death.

to apply to the disorder, but that ex-

POLITICAL SITUATION 4. FRANCE.
Speech Of Prime minister Ferry at Per,

Speech of Prime Minister Ferry at Perig-
PARIS, April 16. In speech at Per
lgneux, yesterday, Prime Minister Fer
~ gave a general discussion on the
present political situation in France:
BE said that most Of the foreign questions
awaiting solution when he assumed office have
been settled. he spoke in high praise of the
gal!antry Of the French troops in Tonquin and
said to it was due the settlement Of the trouble
some Tonquin question. Coming nearer home,
the speaker said France could never allow any
foreign interference with her legitimate inter-
ests in Europe. In his opinion the French
tary influence on Europe, which had suffered
in the past from failure to preserve proper
balance Of power. The true policy of France
should be to continue firm and stead
fast in her present course. Frequent
changes in government were detrimental to
her best interests, and would result in leaving
the state with no sure basis on which to stand.
The present government had been more sue
cessful than its predecessors in its management
OF foreign affairs, because it had had the sup
port OF Parliament and had therefore been
able to address foreign nations with authority.
'sThe Intentions OF the government" he said
sare not obscure. Europe knows with whom
we consort and with whom we refuse to consort. !"
THE time had now arrived the speaker thought,
when the country was ready to discuss a
revision Of the constitution. The government
was desirous Of such revision and thought it
should be moderate and based upon the actual
terms OF the constitution ut present in force.
Referring to the approaching municipal elec.
uons, he said he expected they would become
completely Republican.
