The situation in Hawaiian Islands.

Especial to TIE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.l
New YORK, Aug, 26.-Consul General
Elisha H. Allen, of the Hawaiian islands,
was considerably surprised when a re-
porter showed him telegraph dispatch
purporting to state that Admiral Brown, Of
the Charleston, just arrived from the
island, pred cted a revolution there. II am
completely taken unawares by this an
nouncement," said General Allen, land [
know absolutely nothing more about it than
what | have just read. My adyices from
there, which are up TO the very latest part
of July, are of an extremely pacific char
acter, and | do not know what to think of
Admiral Browns remarks. He says the
United States authorities knowing the I'M
settled condition of affairs there sent the
Charleston to protect American citizens
and their property, and then he is made to
say his ship was ordered away August 2,
two days before the date fixed for the
revolution TO break out. This seems very
odd o me. as also the statement that the
revolutionists want the offices at the dis
posal of the government. Why, the minis
tiers of war and of finance are both native
born Hawaiians and l am sure the legisla-
ture is satisfactory to the people. Friends
of mine who reached San Francisco by the
steamer Austria August s., and who were
well acquainted with both the people and
customs OF the country failed to notice any
signs of sucn disturbance as that predicted
by Admiral Brown

How a Maiden Sold Her Lover.

Especial TO THE HERALp-Examlner Dispatch
BELLEvILLE, H., Aug. 26.-An unusual
proceeding occurred in the Justices court
yesterday. Theodore Borgmeyer kept an
appointment at that place at 9 o'clock and
expected to marry Lena Kramer. a pretty
German girl Borgmeyer, who was in
charge of an officer, is of Laborious, Ill.
Mary Kramper, another German girl, is
twenty eight years old, and while not
beauty, is the daughter of man whose
fortune it takes six figures to Indicate She
also was on hand at the Justices. and to
Lena she made the following business like
proposition: 1.-THE laws of Illinois allow a
wronged woman 500 as the maximum price
for the support of herself and child Now
viii pay you this 500 if you will resign
this man, who does not love you and VINO
will not live with you, to me.''
Then turning to Borgmeyer she told him
she owned one of the best pieces of resi-
dence property Ia Laborious and that if he
would marry her and share it with her, she
would fit him up the best blacksmith shop
in town. He jumped at the chance, and
Lena, after consulting "a friend. concluded
to take the 500. A wedding occurred, but
the prettier and younger woman was wit
ness instead OF principal.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch1
New York, Aug. 26.-The Herald's Wash
1ngton correspondent telegraphs that both
the secretary and the acting secretary last
night positively stated there is no inten-
ton of sending the Charleston north to
CO operate with the Corwin. After coaling
at Seattle the secretary says she will go to
San Francisco and then probably proceed
without much delay to the Hawaiian
Islands, where, according to Rear Admiral
Brown, the presence of the Charleston
seems TO be needed. There is little doubt.
however, that the original purpose of Or
dering the Charleston TO the Pacific slope
had something to do with the Behring sea
troubles. This became apparent since the
fact that orders for her return were issued
just at the time of Lord Salisburys warn
ing that the United States would be held
responsible for any damage to British seal
Ing vessels, and from the further probabili-
ties that Rear Admiral Brown would not
have left the turbulent scenes at Honolulu
unless his new orders showed there were
urgent and important reasons elsewhere.
And it is quite plain to all that nothing has
transpired on the Pasifc coast to warrant
her immediate presence there That she is
not going north now is probably because
there have been further developments be-
tween the two countries on the Behring
sea matter, of which the public has not yes
learned, that make such course unneces-
Sary.

Another Trial for the PhiladeIubia.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, Aug. 26-The steel cruiser
Philadelphia will go to sea two weeks from
to-day to undergo an official trial under the
of the board of naval inspec-
ton and survey, Admiral Kimberly, of
the navy, will sail on the vessel to-
gether with number of naval experts who
will be appointed by Secretary Tracy.
When the Philadelphia made her famous
trial trip off Long Island coast a month
ago. she was controlled entirely by Messrs.
Cramps, her builders. They furnished
pilots, engineers, fremen, oilers, coal
heavens, water tenders and machinists and
even supplied the coal which was burned
during the tour hours run. When the ex
perts of the navy who accompanied the
vessels at that time submitted their repors
to the navy department., the vessel was ac-
cepted by the government and put in COM
mission at Philadelphia. Her guns and
gun carriages were then placed on board.
Since her arrival at Brooklyn the Phila-
delphia has been fitted with three military
masts and the mechanics belonging to tn
ordnance department of the yard made
alterations IN the gun carriages and their
fittings.
1t is especially desired by the officials that
the Philadelphia should meet storm in
order to show how she behaves herself in
'badr weather. He guns will also be tested
in order to enable the experts to say
whether the recoiI of the guns has any ef-
feet on the vessel This trial, as proposed
by Secretary Tracy, will probably last from
five to ten days.

Cashier Kellerman,s Case.

DENVER, Colo, Aug BE- Especial to The
HERALD. Frank A. Kellerman, whose
shortage in the cash of the Centennial In
vestment company was reported in The
HERALD some weeks ago, was brought into
court today to give bonds.
His friends qualified in $4,000 and Kell-
erman expected to be released, but he was
Immediately re-arrested on the complaint of
the German Loan and Investment company,
charged with the misrepresentation of nearly
thirty th~ee thousand while secretary of
tnat company. Another effort was made to
secure bail but it failed and he was again
jailed.
Kellerman was secretary of both associ-
ations and used the funds of one to make
good the shortage in the other whenever a
call was made to show the cash in his
hauds.
When he was arrested the officers of the
German association examined his books
and he acknowledged false entries to the
amount of $4,000, turning over 81 ,O0O in
real estate, in part satisfaction An IN
vestigation, however, showed tie sum miss
ing to be much larger. During the six
years of his incumbency, befare the dis
closure Kellerman stood high in the CON-
munity.'

ACROSS THE CONTINENT
In One Day on the Bicycle Railway is the
--latest Proposition.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch.l
New YORK, Aug. 26.-From New York
to San Francisco by rail in one day, 800
miles minute. Mr.. Boynton, the inven-.
tor of the bicycle steam railroad which is
in daily operation between Coney island
ana Gravesend, says the above named feat
is possible. Already plans have been
drawn, models made and patents granted.
Instead of steam the motive power will be
electricity. The cars will be three feet
wide and the train be pointed at both ends,
giving it the shape of a needle, so as to
have but slight resistance from the air.
The structure for the road is to rest on
substantial pillars made either of metal or
wood and can be carried to any height to
avoid grades. The roadway is to be open
framework of steel, consisting of the sup
porting girder beam ana rail side pieces
and the overhead guiding beam to be held
firmly in a circular position by outside cir
cumfrential steel bands, and passing
through posts. The roadway will be so
made that it will be impossible for train
to leave the rail even if the wheels were
melted or broken by the high speed The
cars will be fifty five feet in length and
practically indistructible The roadway is
to be fourteen feet above ground. Curves
will occur only at long intervals and at sta
tions
The electric power to be used is equal to
from 500 to 1,000 horse power. as required,
and is served to the amatures OF five 5-foot
driving wheels through two half inch cop
per wires. Owing to the character of the
system, overhead guiding wheels being re-
Quired to keep the train upright, it is pro
posed to run these wires overhead, though
If there be objection to that there is no APP
parent reason why the electric current
should not be supplied from below 1t is
possible the storage battery system or
some other electric motion may be applied
to each train and contained within the train
itself. The copper wires conveying the
electric charge are insulated in the guiding
beam, and if it is safe to apply the power
to wheels, it will give the latter from
600 to 1000 revolutions minute The
whole system is apparently as safe as that
of the present steam service railway.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-The memoran-
dunn offered yesterday by Aldrich fixing the
time for consideration of and voting on the
tariff bill was presented after some discus
sion. 1t was agreed to by unanimous con-
sent
2 difference report on the sundry
civil appropriation bill was read The par
agraph regarding reservoir sites, which re-
serves from entry all such sites, was criti-
cised by Sanders, who thanked the Senate
conferees ironically for having sacrificed
the interests of the people of Montana to
to the Unsuitable law of the House.
Allison defended the action of the Senate
conferees and explained the extreme diff :
cult, which they encountered in dealing
with the subject He reviewed briefly the
history of the irrigation survey,
and charged the House was respon-
sible for ENGRAVING the reservations in
the arid lands provision on the sundry
civil appropriation in 1883, thereby causing
all the trouble. He avowed it as having
been the intention of the Senate conferees
to have the whole irrigation survey wiped
out OF existence so far as possible, but
they had been confronted by people who
insisted that the survey should 90 on and
become part of the settled and permanent
policy Of the government. The result had
been the provision now proposed to be in
serted in the sundry bill; that provision
was not what he would have wished it to
be, was not what the Senate conferees
wished but it was the best solution they
could secure
Reagan defended the past action of Con
gress in the matter of reserving reservoir
sites from settlement, and said if it had not
been for that the reservation of those
lands would have been seized by specu-
lators and syndicates. Alter some debate
the conference report was agreed to and
the tariff bill was again taken up.
