Lovers Of the manly art who are for
tunate enough to be mem bers of theSouth-
ern California Athletic Association will,
heyond all question, have treat on
Wednesday night when Billy Manning
and Mulholland try conclusions. Both
men are game to the HEELS" and both
will enter the ring in the pink of con-
dition. Manning has been most rigid in
his adherence to the orders OF his trainer,
and he looks fit to fight for mans life.
Mulholland has been equally diligent in
getting himself into prime fettle, and
yesterday he tipped the scales at 1876
pounds. He states that he is to fight
cautiously and with a resolute deter
mination to win. "I know" he says,
"that / have hard man to face, and

chance to secure the victory" "Mul +"

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
The British Government Favorable to
American Acquisition.

The British Government Favorable to
American Acquisition.
LONDON, Oct. I2.-The Times says that in
view of the amount of English capital in
vested in the Hawaiian islands England
could not see them pass into the hands of
any foreign power with indifference, but
that their acquisition by the United States
would be regarded with more equanimity
than their spolation by any European
power, TO which the British government
would never submit.
The whole tone of the article points to a
desire that the United States government
may see its way clear to gobble up the is
lands, and the writer's intention is evil
IDENTITY to encourage Uncle Sam to adopt
that course.
Ii the present Tory government, of which
the Times Is TO some extent the mouth
piece. has any ak TO grind by inducing the
United States t. depart from its traditional
policy OF minding its own business, few
people on this side of the water expect 10
see il succeed. Well informed men here
understand that a scheme for the acquisi-
ton of territory thousands OF miles distant
from its shores is not likely to find favor in
America.

Captain Jim's Hyas Tyec Potlatch AT
Fort Rupert.

Captain Jim's Hyas Tyec Potlatch AT
Fort Rupert.
Nansimo Free Press.
One of the largest and most valuable In
dian potlatches or Give away for 100 per
cent. return" will take place at Fort Ru
pert, near the northern end OF this island,
about Christmas day. The potlatch will he
given by Captain Jim. an aged Indian, who
is known from one end of the province TO
the other. The articles TO be lent will COM
prise 6600 blankets, 500 pairs silver brace
lets tIndian make) 40 large canoes, and
muck-a-muck galore. in all valued at $lo.-
600. For this $4,000 Captain Jim. accord
ing to Indian custom, will receive. within
two years, $50 600. Our modern Shylocks
will be green with envy to see an Indian
beating them out of sight at their own
game. The potlatch will embrace nineteen
tribes, residing between Qualicum and Fort
Rupert. This will make the hundredth
poiatch Captain Jim has given. and he in
tends to eclipse all former efforts in that
line, and judging from the value and guam
tity of the articles TO be donated we
should judge il to be the biggest thing on
record. The centurion hero of the pot
latch is about 65 wears of age, of fine ply
sique and speaks English with remarkable
fiusncy.
In the early days of the settlement of
this island. the authorities deemed il neces-
sary to lombard the Fort Rupert Indian
village (the cause has escaped the memory
of the wnterl, and Captain Jim, who vas
then noted and valorous war chief was
taken as hostage. Several thousand In
dians will no doubt take part in this Indian
feast. A law has been passed by the do
minion parliament putting stop TO these
potatches, but the old Indians do not an
dersIand this infringement on what
they Justly consider their heredi-
tary rights. The practice, we admit. is per-
nicious in the extreme, but its suppression
should be gradual. so that with the present
elder generation of Indians the feast should
die out 1t is well to prevent the young
Indians continuing the practice, but those
who have looked upon il as lifelong duty
should be allowed to continue it, until they
at least are gathered to the happy hunting
grounds. The greatest curse is the liquor
that is taken to the potlatches by depraved
and hardened white men, but this the
authorities, by little energy, could read
lily prevent.

And. so proud OF the attention received

he laughs and then cries with the rest. He
forsets his choir difficulties ST home, and
gives himself up TO the soothing influences
of the humorous but highly moral old
farmer.
Al the end of the second act Mr.. Gilmore
SAYS:
Would you not like TO go behind the

Proud of the added distinction and with
\ little touch of curiosity, be gladly assents.

Ne reply. Uncle Denmar wipes his iron
bound spectacies on the brief tail OF his
nand-me-down coat and turns to the third
chapter of Romans.

For answer Uncle Denman reads half
aloud TO himself: LAS it is written, there
is none righteous, no not one. There is
none that understandeth. There is none
that seeketh after God. They are all gone
out OF the way. They are together become
unproftable There is none that doeth

On the walls the pastor sees Scripture
maxims and texts almost covering the
little room. In little corner is bouquet
OF caraway seed. Ali is pure and delicious.
The orchestra is playing something soft
and touehful. Uncle Denman sheds tear
or two into a big red cotton handkerchief
and reads another verse through his nose.

Uncle Denman reluctantly puts the book
down with his speetacles in it. so that he
will not lose the place. He is introduced,
and the pastor is evidently the apologize
party. not the actor.
The pastor goes home and puts sixty
line reading notice in his next sermon. SO
