CAREFUL INQUIRY.

The United Press correspondent has made
careful inquiry in regard 70 this matter and,
while not able 10 state that it is a fact that
the Charleston has started on the important
mission mentioned, he is able TO say that, be-
yond any doubt. it is fully believed in
official circles here that the Jnited States
cruiser has been crdered should certain events
occur, 10 seize the Hawaiian Islands. In addi-
ton the United Press correspondent has rea-
son TO believe that these facts have been
cabled TO the British foreign Office and that
there has been in consequence. an exchange
of dispatches between the British admiralty
and the admiral in command OF the British
feet in Chinese waters 0stensibly the mis-
sion Of the Charleston is simply to protect
American interests there and 70 ahord n
refuge for American citizens on those Islands
should the political upheayal expected there
take the form which some people anticipate
it may take.
N HEARTY SYMPATHY.
The American colony here and others also
seem to be in hearty sympathy with the
United States in this matter. II is recognized
by all. except perhaps the representatives OF
the two powers. that the Hawaiian Islands are
naturally under the wing if not under the
protection of the United States. and that
the lnitad States is the country TO police.
if not 10 annex. that somewhat disturbed
country under certain circumstances. or
course there is the possibility that the events
apprehended in the Hawaiian islands will not
turn out to be so serious as some people IN
the United States fear they may be. but the
United States Government, apparently, has
decided 10 take the most energetic measures
should it feel thoroughly justified in so do
ing.
The Charlestons mission is not bold and
uncalled for swooping down upon and seizure
of the Hawaiian kingdom. II is simply tho
taking OF a firm diplomatic step in what are
considered by the United States Government
to be the best interests Of the United States.

CHAPTER II.

In the latter part Of May, during a
violent and protracted northeast storm,
the hermaphrodite brig Fannie r., OF
Liverpool, was cast upon the Barnegat
sands, not an eighth of a mile from the
home Of the Kings. She had aboard a
number Of passengers, several OF whom
were drowned, but among the saved
were two, a young mother and her child,
who were rescued by Janet King, or. to
give her the name that properly was
hers, Mn. Janet RanSely. The woman,
with her little daughter clasped In her
arms, essayed to reach the shore on .

os who launched it after both the brRs
beats had been swamped and lost In
the surf the great unwieldy hatch was
tumbled over and over, whirled and
tossed about like a feather in a cyclone,
90 that all who were upon it were swept
on and engulfed in the roaring breakers.
One of the sailors eve reappeared,
and the other was hurled ashore more
dead than alive seemingly. As for the
woman, the tiger of the surf seemed to
play with her like a cat does with a
mouse. one moment bearing her in as II
TO leave her on the sand, the next carry
ing her out again IN a wild swirl OF the
white spume and froth of the angry sea
Courageous Janet, standing on the
beach, saw her so being done TO death. and
without a moments hesitation plunged
into the waves after her, seized her by
the hair and dragged her to land, uncon-
scious but alive. In all her struggles
with death the mother had not loosened
her hold upon the chlld, apretty little
/ golden blonde maid of two years or there
about. Both were resuscitated with
little difficulty and sheltered in the house
of David King
Daily Yellowstone journal., 1891-04-05

That evening the woman, fully recoV-
cred but snugly ensconced in warm
blankets, told her story 70 Janet, who
sat by the bed TO keep her company.
She said:

he was associated in business robbed

knife he cracked the rascals skull with
a bar of iron and thought he had killed
him. he would have been justified In
doing so, but they were alone; he knew
that he could not prove the deed done in
self defense, and in fear Of arrest be
fed that same night to Liverpool, with
out waiting even to say farewell TO me.

to this country. Until last October he
deemed himself a murderer, and was

N r. ST. HELENA.

Memories Of the Rock Where Napoleon
Spent His Last Days.
Many recollections OF bygone days have
been awakened by the decision Of the Brit
ish government to withdraw the garrison of
red Jackets from the sad and rocky island
of st. Helena, says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer. The approach Of st. Helena is
forbidden in the extreme, abrupt and pre-
%cipitous walls of dark-hued rock encircle
the whole island, producing aa effect sutfo-
eating in its utter desolation when seen
from the sea. 1t is only on rounding the
old Munden's battery that a cleft or chasm
is seen in the natural rampant, disclosing
to view a narrow valley. Here jamestown
~nestles, surrounded with tropical plants,
which look very refreshing in contrast with
the threatening rocks above mentioned.
1t is there also on a slope overlooking the
town, and almost hidden by thickets OF
rose-colored oleanders, blossoming orange
trees and waxy camellias that 1.-The
Briars'' stand. This was the house where
the illustrious and unhappy Emperor Nap
oleon was taken upon landing at st. Hell
ella, the hateful prison of Longwood being
as yet unprepared for the imperial prisoner.
The Briars'' belonged to Mr.. Balcombe. a
rich merchant, who did all within his power
to make the poor exile comfortable. This
worthy merchant had a little daughter of
tnlrteen years ola, VINO soon became tne
continual componion of the fallen sover-
eign. Thu pale, stern features of Napoleon
l. woul relax into the kindest of smiles
when the charming child approached. and
he was her constant playmate during his
stay in her fathers house. While at ''rhe
Briars" Napoleon's captivity was made COM
paratively light to him, but when once re-
moved to Longwood he was almost Roaded
to despair. The lonely man was made to
drain his cup of bitterness and suffering to
the very dregs, and nothing can equal the
humiliatioEs to which he was nut. Even
the company of his little pet, Betsy Bal
comble, was denied him-thls not being
one of his smallest sorrows. for he kept
asking for his "petite Betsee," as he called
her, missing no doubt her joyous laughter
and the merry games they used to play to-
gether. which had frightened his stay at
The Briars.' 1t would be we'll if the great
ocean waves could swallow up this island
of st. Helena, where such cruel acts were
perpetrated. The captivity of Napoleon
might have been made endurable and mer-
ciflI, but the treatment melted out to the
captive will always remain a stain upon
the pages of English history.

HonOrs Bestowed Upon Friends of Inter-
national Copyright.
NEW YORK, April Count Emile de
KeEatry. special envoy of the French gov
eminent, who is instructed to convey the
crosses of the legion of honor to two dis
tinguished Americans who have been prom
inent in the fight for a copyright law, ar
rived here Sunday from France and is con-
fined to his bed. suffering from la grippe.
The crosses and other similar decorations
are usually bestowed through the consuls
of the countries comforting the honors. but
IN this instance the French government,
after the passage of the copyright bill, de-
sired to pay an unusual compliment to the
American copyright league, and SO de-
pnted Count de keratry to pin the cross of
the legion de honour upon the breasts of
the gentlemen selected for the distinction
namely, Robert Underwood johnson, of the
Century Magazine editorial staff, secretary of
the American Authors copyright leapue,and
of the joint executive copyright committee
which represented all leagues which favored
the copyright measure, Inc Ex-Representa-
tive William d. Simonds, also a leader in
the battle just won by the friends of the
copyright. 1t was originally the intention
of the French government to include Sena-
tor Platt, Of Connecticut. but, before COM
ing to this determination, the French gov
was informed that the laws of the
United States deferred a senator from re-
ceiving such decoration. However, the de-
sire to honor Senator Platt has been car
ried out in spite of this debarment. as
Count dc Keratry is also entrusted with
comforting upon Senator Platt a handsome
medal. especially designed and struck for
the occasion, which is a gift to the senator
from Connecticut of the French literary
societies, who greatly appreciate Piatt's
efforts.
