the pod. In declining this offer,
rendered in such cordial manner, /
have given all possible weight to the
reasons urged in favor of my accept
ance. 1t would he pleasure to me
to express to the president and
yourself my thanks in person for
the honor conferred upon me, which
1 must, however, respectfully decline
for various reasons. AS am
neither professional mathematician
nor physicist, l do not think my
appointment would be acceptable TO
my scientific colleagues as head of
the coast survey. There are, If L
am not mistaken, two gentlemen, at
least, in the service of the govern
ment, and two civilians who are
eminent specialists well fitted for
the post. Except in one case l am
unable. to speak from any knowledge of
their executive ability. Under these
circumstances l do not feel it my
duty to take your proposition into
consideration, even were other rea-
sons which kept the at Cambridge at
present such as could be ignored.
But may add that / have charge
of important interests on which my
scientific future depends, and which
l could not honestly jeopardize. My
health is such also that | am COM
PEELED every winter TO absent myself
for at least three months, so that the
little time have at my command
for scientific work would be COM
pletely sacrificed were l to move to
Washington and begin anew in a
field which is not my own. While l
am forced to the decision, which
must be considered final, l cannot
refrain from expressing my gratilica-
ton at the interest shown by the
administration in the appointment Of
worthy successor to the former
superintendent of the coast survey.
That / should be named in this con-
nec,ion is a proof of confidence
which l value highly. Unquestion-
ably, it is essential at this moment,
both to the government and the in
terests of science throughout the
country, that the head of so i'm
portant scientific bureau should be
possessed of the highest scientific
capacity, honesty and executive
ability.
am extremely obliged for your
cordial invitation to visit Washing
ton. Were l to accept it, however,
sensible as am of the force of the
arguments so kindly urged upon me
by the president and yourself, l
could only apply them in order to
press the claims of others, and
assist, if possible, in making an APP
pointment satisfactory to the adj
ministration and to the best interest
of science.
1 remain, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
A. AGAssIZ.

This race attracted great deal
of attention. Many of the spec
tators who had up to this time, kept
their seats on the stand, got up and
pressed forward to the front. Others
stood on chairs and boxes, and pro-
gress was reported about every
minute by those having the advan-
tage of glasses or of good eyesight.
The Hanakeokis had the inside posi-
ton, and led out to the lighthouse ;
and had gained about a length at
that point. The Kuliaillanuus, how
ever, soon closed the gap, and took
the lead. The contest was pretty
close, but the race was spoiled by
the stake boat near the bell buoy
having been removed, so that Mr..
Cummins had only an imaginary
turning point to go round. Col.
Judd claimed that his opponent had
not turned the bell buoy, but simply
waited for the Hanakeoki to do so,
and then bent his oars for the home
stretch. The judges, boat was
passed by the Kuliaikanuu in 27m.
45s., and the Hanakeoki in 27m.,
55s.; but the judges declared the
race null and void.
The band then struck up Hawaii
Ponoi, which the crowds accepted as
a notice to dispense; and the great
| Hawaiian Reuatta of 1885 was over.

The first meeting OF our new town
board last Friday night passed off as
smoothly as dose cf compound ca
.thartic pills. Alderman Short moved
all Of the motions, while Aldermen
Hurst and Gibson took turn about
seconding the same. Clerk Haver-
camp was busy with the minutes, which
was little awkward at first, but he is
quick to learn and will hll the bill as
good ifnot better than his predecessor.
Mayor Gray possessed himself wi,s
one Of those pale net brown stinkum,
squinkum smiles and ''put the eues-
tion," while Marshal Tetard, the big
fat rascal, occupied the easy chair
counting on his finger ends how
much his salary would be with war

News from all Parts Of the Elk

1t is the season Of the year for strikes
and excitements. Our town was
thrown into a state of CONSERVATION
the other day over the announcement
that DR.. X. c. Evans had uncovered
a bonanza in claim he calls the Ella

divide between Redwell and Wolver-
inc Basins, about three miles from

face on the veia in one place and a
tunnel seventeen feet long ON the vein
in another place The vein is five
feet wide showing solid mass of ga
lena ore carrying some native, and
some pretend to say that gold has been
seen IN the ore. DIR. Evans and his
partner, !John Zimmers, propose to
work it, and if the present encourage
ment continues will drive the tunnel
100 feet this summer.
The Augusta mine is showing more
ruby and native silver. Mr.. Groes-
beck and Ole Locke were in town on
Monday after supplies and displayed
some very rich ore very similar in
character to the rich ruby silver ore
that comes from the Forest Queen
NINE. The breaking up Of the winter
snow makes travelling very difficult at
present. 1t had to come some time
and the sooner the better.
The Hawkeye mine comes to the
front with favorabl news that is worth
chronlcling. John Alexander, one of
the contractors, was in town OIL Sun
day and says he has developed three
feet of very good ore but does not
know what 1t will rrn. Mr.. Robinson
examined it and was highly pleased
because be said it was the best ore
that ever came from the mine. We
will await to hear the returns On the
assay with much anxiety, as we be-

better sh that mine. Z
