PR OROGATION OF THE BRITISH PAR
LAMENT.

The Queens speech, closing the
Imperial Parliament on the 18th of
August, was exceedingly colorless.
If anyone hoped to find out the Tory
chiefs policy from the royal speech,
he would be disappointed. There
was no indication of policy anywhere.
The speech simply made reference to
the legislative work of the session,
and touched upon the Soudan escapade
i'll the most guarded manner. If the
object of the expedition failed, the
army had behaved we'll, while the
death of Ell Mahdi would enable the
Government to fulfill its engagements
to the Khedive.
Regarding the Afghan difficulty
similar caution in statement is dis
played, except in the following para
graph:
am taking the necessary steps to place
the northwest frontier of my Indian En-
pire in a condition of adequate defense, in
the absence of which the prosperity and
tranquility of Indian subjects are liable
from time to time to be interrupted and dis
turbed.
The annexation of BechuanaIand
was announced. This vast territory,
first described by Livingstone, will
bring up the South African possess
siOns of England to the Zambiesi
river, which forms a natural bound
ary. A department for the admins
tratiOn OF Scottish affairs has been
created by statute, and power is given
to the Australian colonies to federate.
Parliament was to be dissolved, and
a general election held in November
next.

THE United States Treasury under
took ito transfer $40, 1000, 900 in gold
coin from the sub-treasury in San
Francisco to New York by registered
mail. Over $40, 900, 900 were so trans
ferred, when a stop was put to it,
owing to newspaper publicity, which
might have encouraged train robbers.
After few days, however, the ship
ment of gold in 100000 packages was
resumed. Congress appropriated
$780, 900 for the cost of transporting
this coin, which was wanted East,
but as the express companies asked a
great deal more money for the SER
vice, the Post Office Department will
be the gamer by the aggregate
amount of postage upon it as third
class matter. 1t is doubtful, however,
If this is proper way of transporting
treasure.

Diplomatic ViSOr.

Our old friend, DIR. J. Mott Smith,
member of the House of Mobiles, and
Hawaiian Commissioner in the United
States, has been distinguishing himself
in manner for which diplomatic usage
furnishes no precedent. 1t appears that
a burglar visited DIR. Smiths Washing
ton residence on the night of August Sd,
helped himself to bountiful supper, and
then ascending the stairs, explored the
bedrooms and carried off considerable
property belonging to the sleeping in
mates, among which were a gold watch
and opera glasses. Not content with his
success, or being over-confdent, he re-
turned for his shoes and rope ladder, and
disturbed the worthy Hawaiian Commits
siOner's slumbers. Dr. Mott Smith
awoke, and clothed as he was in the
scant garments of the night, gave chase
to the burglar, ran him down some dis
lance off, and placed him safely behind
the bars of the Fourth District Station.
The National Republican" of Washing
ton makes the following editorial COM
ment upon this incident: q Hawaiian
Commissioner Smith is said to be an able
diplomat, but he knows there are times
when muscle is better than brains. In
sallying out OF his house in his night
shirt to run down and capture burglar,
DR.. Smith has not only set good exam
pie, but has shown himself a man of
courage. Ii this sort of exercise becomes
fashionable in diplomatic circles, West
End society may be Mortified, but the
enterprising burglar will cease to go
a-burgling..in the residences of such gal
liant gentlemen. DIR. Smiths Race
would not be bad subject for the poet
or painter. In some respects, especially
in picturesqueness of costume, it has the
advantage Of Sheridan's Ride"

The Cholera Spreading.

Under date Aug 14h, we have the fol-
lowing cholera items from various points :
Incomplete returns in Madrid the pre-
viOus day reported 1885 new cases and
1869 deaths throughout the country.
In Granada the scourge is increasing,
and the condition is terrible Many
doctors are dying Whole streets are
injected by the scourge, by which entire
families have been carried away. The
total number of deaths in the infected
provinces since the outbreak of the dis
ease is 1000, and it is estimated that
60, 900 persons have fed from the King
dom. The popular agitation against
sanitary interference has been renewed
in Seville. The local authorities all re-
signed. The shops are closed, Lo bust
ness is done and the scourge has an I'M
INSTRUCTED field.
On the 18th August there We're 20
deaths from cholera at Marseilles. The
plague was spreading in the environs of
the city. All vessels arriving at Gibral-
tar from Portuguese ports were quaran-
tined. There have been three fatal cases
at Gibraltar, and the Spanish Consul
says cholera has appeared within the
Spanish lines.
''La Liberte" of Paris asserts that
cholera has appeared at Hanoi and other
places on the Red River, Tonquin. This
will be very serious matter to the
French troops.
A Philadelphia dispatch of the 14th
August announces the death of Margaret
Kealey, young Irish domestic servant,
of true Asiatic cholera, at Camden, New
Jersey. The medical men appear to
have no doubt of the nature of the dis
ease in this case. She was not exposed
to cOntaoiOn.

Gold Found Everywhere.
scientific American. ]

It has long been well understood that
gold is the most universally distributed of
metals being found in all parts of the
world, but most readers will probably be
surprised surprised at statement 4e recently made by
to the effect that there is more gold in the
clay under the city of Philadelphia than
would equal the entire valuation of the
city. In 1919 men made so cents a dav
washing the sands near Chester, on the
Delaware river, where William Penn
first landed, and quite recently several
dollars worth of gold in grains were
taken from well $50 feet deep within
twenty miles of Philadelphia.

A Prisoner Receives His Discharge.
In June, 1884, at Hama, Maui, China
man, All Kui, was sentenced to two
months Imprisonment at hard labor
and fined 500 for being caught smoking
opium. He served his two months, and
yesterday completed twelve months
towards paying off his fine. According
to the law, when a prisoner has served
twelve months on a fine, he is entitled
to a discharge if he can show he has no
means of paying it. This man asked for
his discharge yesterday on the above
ground. He appeared before Mr.. JUS
tice Preston and Police Justice Bicker-
ton, sitting in Chambers. All Kui stated
he had no land, rice, houses nor money,
and was not a contract laborer Cap
tain Trip said he had nothing else
against the prisoner, thereupon the
Court ordered his discharge. He had
worked out $77 of his fine at twenty-five
cents day.

ADvICEs from Rome state that ne
gOtiations are in progress between
England and Italy by which the
latter power is to continue the Soudan
campaign, England to evacuate Sua-
kim and guarantee Italy the possess
sion of Eastern Soudan. This state
ment is not official, and may very
well be doubted. 1t is not easy to see
what Italy would secure by locating
itself on the Red Sea littoral and the
frontier of Abyssinia. Better far
guarantee the latter power the pos
session of Eastern Soudan with its sea
ports, bringing it within the circle of
civilization by sending diplomatic
representatives there, and placing it's
military system under the direction
of British officers. The man suited
for this task is already in Abyssinia.
We refer o Major Speedy, who is per-
haps better known and more infiuen-
tial han any other man in Abyssinia,
except King John himself.

THatton's Review of stanley's New Book,l
Mr.. Stanley has learned the art of sim
plicity of style, which is very attractive
when the subject is large enough not to
need adornment In one of the uneX-
plored reaches of the Congo, steaming in
his launch, he comes upon a party of
native fishermen. At the first glimpse of
the strange river monster all but one of
the African anglers fly. Presently the
last OF the group becomes conscious OF the
approaching steamer. Leaping to his feet
with frantic energy, he takes short
glance around and realizes that he,
insensate fool, while indulging in Walton
ian reveries in midday, has been aban-
doned by his friends. However, there is
hope while there is life; he bends his back
and draws with long reaching grasp,
the water sideways, this way and that,
and the tiny pirogue, sharp as spear
point, leaps over the water, obeying his
will deXterously. After a hard chase
they come up to the canoe, when sud
denly the native springs overheard and
the steamer sweeps past the empty canoe.
They pull up, and Stanley directs two of
his natives to capture him and bring him
on board. The man was swimming in
the vicinity Of the canoe, and Stanley
thus finishes the incident in his quiet but
interesting fashion;
GAS we came up he dived, and our two
sailors flashed into the depths after him.
1t was pretty sight to see the graceful
bodies darling like sharks toward their
prey. They brought him up, each bold
ing an arm, and swan with him to the
boat We lifted him up tenderly and
seated him on the rail, waiting patiently
for his pulses to beat less wildly and the
excited heart to cease its throbbing
Now, Ankoli, speak softly to the poor
man.
"No answer was given to Ankoli's COO

pers, asked what his name was.

lage.'

parcel of cowries After he had stepped
in he did not seem to realize that he was
free and rich man until there was such
a distance between us that he thought it
impossible for us to catch him again even
If we tried. When he seemed small

Heeia Sugar Plantation

The sale of the above plantation, which
has been postponed on four occasions by
order of the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, took place yesterday at noon at
the door OF Aliiolani Hale, the auctioneer
being Mr.. J. Fl. Soper, Marshal of the
Kingdom. Mr.. Henry Macfarlane
started it at $50, 900, when Mr.. Louisson.
of Grinbaum & Co., raised it to 1925, 900,
and it was knocked down to him at that
figure. Mr.. +. M Hatch, for Fowler &
Co., protested against the sale as it had
not been sufficiently advertised. Mr..
McKeague protested against it being
called plantation with an 8-ton mill,
when it was lotion. In the Supreme
Court in the afternoon, Mr.. Hatch's pro-
test was heard before Mr.. Justice Pres
ton. Dir. A. S. Hartwell appeared for
Mr.. Louisson. His Honor, after hearing
of counsel, overruled Mr..
Hatch's protest, and confirmed the sale.
Mr.. Louisson then paid over to Marshal
Soper the full amount, $125, 600.
