Advices from Honolulu ON the 30th
state that the anticipated trouble in
Hawaii did not come to head. The
only event of consequence was the petit
tion presented to the king by the
natives, praying for revised constitu-
tion, and this has been referred to the
legislature. There was some trouble in
the leper settlement at Molokai and
some fighting. A number of natives
have been imprisoned. The cause was
a misunderstanding of an order by the
superintendent for the destruction of
one or two small houses.
The largest travelling crane in the
world, which corps of machinists and
mechanical engineers have been for sew
eral weeks setting up in the gun shops
in the navy yards, is now in practical
operation. 1t has lifting capacity of

in the presence of government officials
we're satisfactory. The total weight of
the crane, without frame work, track |
upon which it runs or the square steel
shaft which propels it, is 1S5 tons. The
machine cost the government 100000.
The Topeka, Kansas, Capitol publishes
letters from forty three district court |
clerks showing the number of foreclos-
ures of farm mortgages as to respective
counties during the first six months of
1890. The total number of foreclosures
is 1lO3, about twenty-five to county.
the total for 1O6 counties of the state on
the same basis would be 265O or prob
ably about s2,OOO,OOO. The significant
feature of the report is the fact that
large portion of the foreclosures are on
unoccupied lands bought up and mort
gagged for what they would bring by
speculation.

The house committee on commerce
has made an adverse report on the bill
to repeal the act Incorporating the Mari
time Canal company of Nicaragua.
After reviewing the condition of affairs
along the line of the canal, the report
says: ''The committee deems it but
fair to an enterprise of such magnitude
that it should be given reasonable time
to demonstrate that those who have
undertaken it are prosecuting the same
in good faith and that in their early
they ought not to be ham
pered by captious and carping critics.
1t would be gross breach of faith for
the United States government to per-
NIT in any way an embarrassment of the
project by considering unfair PROPOSE
tions from any source for repeal of the
charter.
