The Republican newspapers at that
time tried to make it appear that he
would never return. But by and by
he returned, and that with ven

to admit. Most Of the Cabinet will
take advantage Of short vacation,

AN INVENTOR FROM HOME.

Hiram S. Maxim, State of Maine
man, has scored series of radiant
triumphs at the Inventors Exhibi-
ton, lately opened in London, Eng
land. He exhibits machine gun,
that excels anything of the kind
before known, and besides variety
of other important inventions in
armaments. A slow-burning powder
that England, from failure to obtain
the secret of its manufacture, has
been reluctantly compelled to buy
from Germany, under microscopic
examination by this Maine genius
has yielded up tho mystery of its
compoundlng. Its ingredients were
known to be the same as those of
any other powder, but to combine
them so as to produce the required
result was the secret. Maxim ex-
poets, with his knowledge of making
this particular explosive, to be able
to revolutionize the manufacture of
shells. Although his genius has not
been adequately recognized in his
own country, this inventor is patrio-
tic enough to resist any overtures
from foreign Governments which do
not allow him to give the use of his
inventions to the United States.
Notwithstanding the demand for in
creased coast defenses, which is
daily becoming more imperative in
the Union, a system designed fol
that purpose, invented by Maxim,
has received the first tokens of ap'
probation from the military authors

of the system have been disclosed t.

them, but, regarding those that have,
the British officials have expressed
unqualified approval. Among other
devices of land and water armament,
produced by this clever American,
are methods of shifting and direct
ing, raising and lowering, the heavi-
est ordnance, by the agency of
electricity, with about as little diff
Guilty as a rifle can be handled by
manual dexterity. In the United
States Maxim only attracted atten-
tion to his genius, to any particular
extent, by noteworthy exploits in
electric lighting. This apparent
neglect of native genius capable of
bestowing the highest order of SER
vice upon the nation, in the way of
strengthening its borders and in
creasing its prowess, is, perhaps, one
of the best testimonies to the policy
of peace and goodwill that the United
States is pursuing. AT the same
time, pending the advent of the
good time coming, when nation shall
not lift up sword against nation, it
would be only ordinary wisdom to
have the Union made secure at home
and its name conveying wholesome
respect abroad, so far as those OBJ
jects can reasonably be effected. AS
in any event of war, too, the nations
chief reliance would be upon hel
own citizens for soldiers, so in pre-.
parations it would be only natura
to expect that she should not &C

ARE STEEL BOILERS SAFE2

The new steamer Magneta, recent
ly constructed for the laying and re-
pairing of cables, is now supposed to
have been lost with all on board.
She left the Thames for Singapore
early in March, and has not been
heard from since leaving the Channel.
One of her boats was seen 200 miles
off Cape Finisterre, on the northwest
coast of Spain. 1t appeared to have
been properly lowered, but there was
no apparent evidence of its having
been occupied. She was sister YES
sci to the Electra, and both were
constructed upon the most approved
plans, and supposed to be as thor
oughly capable of weathering any
storm as it is possible to build ship.
The fact that her boilers were of
steel brings up the question as to the
adaptability of this material for such
purposes. The failure of new steel
boiler, under hydraulic pressure of
240 pounds, has led to an investiga-
ton, under the direction of Lloyd $
Register, of the process of manipula-
ton of the plates. DR.. Parker, who
conducted this examination, is of the
opinion that the plates are injured
by unequal heating. In commenting
upon this important question, the
English Mechanic says that there
is at least ground for suspicion that
not only the Magneta but other miss,
ing steamers have foundered in con-
sequence of boiler EXPLOSIONS

tions to defend them from European
attack would hardly be greater if
they were part of our territory than
if they remain independent.
Respecting the general policy of
the United States Government at
present, we have Mr.. Putnam, the
new American consul here, reported
rs saying in San Francisco, on his
way to the scene of his duties, that
"the only instructions which he had
received from the State Department
at Washington, were general in their
character and were confined practic-
ally to the rules governing consular
service"
As to the main question, Mr..
Daggett himself is thus reported:
Knowing that it was necessary for
me to visit Washington in order to
surrender my ministerial creden-
tials, His Majesty intrusted me with
a commission TO transact few mat
ters of business for him, the import
of which would be of interest to no
one did feel inclined to betray the
confidence reposed in me-" Mr..
Daggett was very communicative, to
a reporter of the Alta California,
upon Hawaiian politics. Hear him: -
"Wcll, business generally through
out the Islands is very much de-
pressed, and the Government itself
is deeply in debt, but for the first
time in many years the running ex-
penses of the Government have been
kept within the revenue received.
To be sure, the Indebtedness is not
being reduced, but the demands fol-
interest on outstanding bonds are
promptly met and no further indebt.
edness is being incurred. Future
prospects are brighter and more
promising than ever before, and, if
let alone, the present Government
will pull affairs through to success.
full issue in the not far distant
future"
Again, in answer to this question
"Then, since the outlook for thu
future is so bright, there can be nj
foundation for the rumor about .
project being on foot to annex th'
Islands to the United States?' Mr.
Daggett said:-
"No; not the slightest. Th'
Hawaiian people are imbued with ;
strong spirit of independence, ant
their Government is perfectly abl
to maintain itself without assistance
from other countries, other than tina
extended through commercial trea
ties. This great outcry of anneXa
ton and fall of the Hawaiian thron
is wholly due to the malignancy O
the party in opposition to the Gov
ernment, who are endeavoring t
make up for their paucty of nun
bers by great deal of noise an
bombast, with the hope that it wi
lead to the fall of the party i

dom with it. Their efforts hav
been absolutely abortive, but the

An Atlanta (Ga.) special says: In

" was the secession agitation. The
statement that there existed among the
southern senator's in 1859 and 1860 a
conspiracy to force secession is untrue.
There was no conspiracy, no understand
ing. The encroachments of northern
congressman upon the reserved rights
of the States, the incendiary agitation
of disturbing questions in that section,
had alarmed the'people Of the southern
States. They elected men to Congress
to represent their views. These men
were representatives, and were only
guilty of the same conspiracy as always
exists between constituent and repre-
sentative. The question of secession
came up from people just in the same
shape as other questions come up,
and consequently southern senators
merely presented the views of those
whom they represented. They went
| home and addressed their constituents
upon that, as they did upon all other
questions. All of my speeches were

Opposite Gouverneur slip Sundstrom

100 feet from the piers, and a deck
hand on the tug-boat urged some one to
warn him that there was an eddy at the
foot Of Jackson street that would re-
tard bis progress very much If he did
not swim further out toward the middle
of the river. Butler was warned by
the men in his boat, and at once started
away from the pier, but Sundstrom was
seized in the eddy and had desperate
struggle to save himself from being
carried under the wharf. He struggled
through brayely, but Butler had mean
while gained one hundred feet, and
Sundstrom made q desperate effort to
recover the advantage he had lost. He
had lessened the distance between them
to fifty feet, and all the row-boats were
clustering about the swimmers about
off the foot Of Tenth street, and their
occupants were cheering and shouting,
when the small boat which had last
been seen hanging from the dayits on
the Patrol suddenly appeared among
them. manned by four officers in uni
form.
The boat came alongside Of Sund-

to get into it. At once there was great
excitement, and Donovan stood up in
the boat and shouted to Butler. The
latter looked up out Of the water, saw
what was the matter, diyed under, came
up close to the tug, and clambered
aboard. Sundstrom at first refused to
leave the water, but was eventually
hauled into the boat by the policemen.
Both men were naked, having taken oil
their trunks in the water, and Sund-
strom seemed much embarrassed until
some one threw him his hat, when
he put it on and recovered his eqa-
nimity. Then the policemen looked
around for Butler, and while they were
thus engaged Sundstrom suddenly Owed

in the engne-room Of the tug. The
