Hop of company A.

This long looked :or event took place
last evening and was attended by up
wards of four hundred ladies and gentle
men. The Armory was decorated with
flags of all nations, Chinese lanterns and
evergreens, and looked like a scene from
fairyland with it's galaxy of beauty and
galantry. Nothing was omitted to make
the occasion one of pleasure to the par
Elephants.
Mr.. Berger, the leader of the orchestra
excelled any former effort in his selec-
ton of dance music and musicians. The
floor was filed with dancers, among
whom were large number OF officers
from the men-of-war in port.
The collation. was good, and nothing
was omitted which would satisfy the
elmer man."
At late hour the tired guests left the
Armory, many expressing the wish that
the Honolulu Rifles would repeat their
social entertainments more often.

Concerning the Real NIikado.
philadelphia Press.


So much is being said about the
mikado of the stage that these points
that follow concerning the real mikado
may be of interest. A red revolution
brought the present miEado into power
in Japan, some seventeen years ago, at
which time he was a boy of 16 years.
He found feudal system,
wherein 5000 men were main
tanned for war. The empire was a
military encampment. The young mi
kado changed all He made the depend
ant the freeman and the feudal rulers
the subordinates. He made men free
holders in perpetual tenure of their
lands. He insured as great protection
to life and property as may be enjoyed.
His code of laws he modelled after those
of England and the nited States, es-
tablishing sufficient judiciary. He
gathered about him broad, sound and
progressive counselors.
He rules an empire already having
500 miles of railroad, 5000 miles of
telegraph wire, unsurpassed postal
facilities, with postal savings bank
system worthy of imitation in this coun-
try. He has built a navy and can re-
pair ships with the best. AS great, if
not greater, than what he has accom-
plished, is what he has proclaimed he
proposes to do, and that is that in 1890,
to convert his empire into constitu
tional empire, with parliament exer-
cising the delegated authority of the

British Projects for Track Laying In India.
chambers JOurnaLI
Of vast Importance to the British en-
pire again is the intention to expend
some so, 100000 pounds sterling in de-
veloping the railway system of India
1t is known that very large proper
ton Of the wheat actually produced in
India is wasted, because of the INSULT
cheney of existing means of getting it
to market. 1t is also known, by the
careful report Of experts, that vast
tracts which are peculiarly adapted to
wheat cultivation are now lying useless
and that, although the present
production of wheat in the empire
is between 200, 900, 900 and 24O, 600
900 bushels annually, it could
be almost Immediately doubled were
communication established. With an
ade uate development of the railway
system, it is probable that India may
vie with America as the granary of the
world.
Then another thing necessary for the
develO. ment of India, and. through
India, for an e tension of oar trade and
influence. is the opening of direct COM
municatiOn with western China and
Thibet. To this end, Mr.. A. r. Colqu-
houn planned line of railway from
the coasts of British Burmah through
northern Siam and the Shan states to
the southwest frontier of China. The
chief difficulty heretofore has been the
opposition of China, who has guarded
with ealousy her rights Of suzerainty
over the rich and pOpulOus country of
the grand llama.

REMALEY WANTS REVENGE.
Legal Fight Growing Out of an
Old Feud Over Gas Lands.


PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 27.-Henry
Remaley, of Murraysyille gas well fame,
brought two suits to-day to recover
damages for the gas taken away from
the Remaley lands in the Murraysville
gas fields by the PewEmerson COM
pany and the Penn Fuel company,
both of this city. The damages claimed
are 100000 in all, or S50,U00 against
each of the defendant companies. The
plaintiff claims that he leased oil priVi-
Ieges to NJ. r. q 0. NJ. Haymaker of six
acres of his land in 1877, and that the
defendants by assignment held this
lease, which did not include the natural
gas producer. In January, 1878, he al
legeS he leased to the same parties
tweuty-seven acres in addition, and
under the terms Of this lease the stone,
coal and gas were to remain with the
plaintiff in fee simple. This lease
was also assigned to the defend
ants. The plaintiff claims that
this lease was ante-dated to Jan. 10,
1873, and that he never acknowled the
execution of the lease, and that the
name of James G. Ferguson, }. p, be-
fore whom ii purpOrts to have been ac-
knowledged, was not the signature of
SuIu mag ISlIulC. DuI tlub lllN
procurement of the new lease was
fraud upon plaintiff, executed for the
purpose of covering the well already
bored, as the first lease did not include
gas. and that tn, refore the gas produced
from the well was his property. 1t will
be remembered that Remaley was
Jointly indicted with Milton Weston, of
Chicago, A. NJ. BoWSer and others for
the killing of Obediah Ilaymaker at
Murraysville. The killing grew out of
a trouble between Mr.. Weston and Pew
and Emerson, both claiming to hold a
lease for the gas privileges upon the
farm of Henry Remaley, the plaintiff in
this suit During the Imprisonment of
Weston and the trial of Bowser, Weston
and himself, Mr.. RemaIey did not get
action an now that Weston is free
and he acquitted, the legal contest to
determine who was in the right in the
Murraysville affair has begun.

day served in an action on behalf of
Erastns Wiman's Telegraph company,
the Great Northwestern, against the
Montreal Telegraph company, asking
the superior court to fix reduction of

ment made by morning paper that he
