A BEAUTIFUL LEGEND.

A charming tradition IL connected
with the site on which .ho Temple of
Solomon was erected, 1t is said to
have been owned in common by two
brothers, one Of whom had q family
and the othSr had none, On the
evening succeeding the LsrVes', the
wheat having been gathered la sep
arate shocks the elder brother said
unto his wife: MY younger brother
is unable to bear the burden and heat
of the day, i will arise, take of nv
shocks and place them with biz, wiei.
out his Knowledge. The youn,er
brother being actuated BY similar
motives. said within himself: NV
elder brother has family and have
none; Twill arise. take Off my SHOCK ,
and place them with his, without his
knowledge. Judge Of their mutual
sstonishmant, whsn on the following
morning they found their shocks nm |.
diminished. This course OF events
transplred for several nights, when
each resolved ia bis mind TO stand
guard and solve this mystery. Tbsv
did 90 and on the following night
they met each other half way between
their respective shocks, With arms
tull. Upon ground haIlowed with
s1ch associations as these was the
Temple of Solomon erected-so
spacious and magnificent, the admi-

ROME, Feb. S.-The following Cabinet will
be officially announced tomorrow. with the
probable addition of Willard as Minister of
Education: Marquis di Rudini. Premier,
Minister of Foreign Affairs ad interim, and
Minister of Marine; Signor Colombo, Minis
ter of Finance; Luzzatti, Treasury Pelloux,
War; Branca, Public Works ad interim and
Posts and Te!egraphs; Ferrais, Justice.
Leading Italian newspapers do not look
with favor upon the new Ministry and they
all express the opinion that it will be short
lived. OF the ministers, Nicotera and
Branca are members of the Left, Penaux is
neutral and the others belong to the party
of the Right. With Signor Saracco not in
the Cabinet the Catholic support of the ne
ministry is very uncertain.
BERLIN, Feb. S.-A Rome correspondent
Of the Berliner Tagblatt had an interview W
with Marquis di Rudini, the new Italian
Prime Minister. In the course of the con-
versation, the Marquis declared himself
thoroughly liberal and expressed confidence
that he would receive the support of the
whole Chamber. He said that while he
was no friend of Clericalism, lie considered
the systematic persecution OF the church to
be both useless and Objectionable. He
predicted the abolition of the system of
voting known as scrutin de liste The dis
solution of Parliament he said, vas not
contemplated by the new Ministry. Touch
ing upon foreign affairs. the Premier de-
scribed himself as warm friend of the
Dreibund. In rega I'd TO the domestic policy
of the Ministry. he said that retrenchments
were projected i'll every department of the

An Impression That General New Will Re-
eelve Cabinet Appointment.
NEW YORK. Jan. S.-A gentleman of more
than local prominence who has long been
identified with public affairs, and who is
reputed to be thoroughly informed regarding
the inside workings of the present admin
tstration, and who has just returned from
visit to Washington, said to-day: Thurs
day afternoon last President Harrison
cablod John c. New, Consul-Gcneral at
LONDON, to come to Washington at once.
1t will be remembered that when Harrison
was making up his cabinet New was anxious
to be appointed Secretary Of the Treasury.
Blu. friends urged upon him that lie could
not then afford to sacrifice the Consul Gen
eralship for the portfolio of Secretary of the
Treasury. The eCensul-Genefalship would
certainly yield him So. eco annually, and,
besides, would give him many legitimate op-
portunltieS OF increasing that sum. Unless
New decides that handsome income from
Consular-Gcneralship, with its freedom
from care, Is better than the Secretaryship,
with its perplexitiPs Qeaving out his ini-
pulses of ambiIion). he Will probably be the
next Secretary of the Treasury. This is the
settled opinion Of those who are best in
formed as to the Presidents purposes. 1t is
known that New has studied the whole
British question thoroughly from an inter-
national stand dpoint, and as he is n man of
great discretion and caution, besides thor
0ughly American, his views are Of the great
est Importance to Harrison, who fully real
iZes this, as he knows that he will want at
his command the best, fullest and most ac-
curate sources of information. This fact
alone makes New the strongest possible
candidate Tor the Secretary of the Treas

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Congress Urged TO Make an Important Cor
TeCti0n in The Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Ceeil Brown, q
member of the Honolulu Legislature and a
prominent lawyer, arrived tonight, and,
whlle he is quite reticent about making
known his business here, it is learned from
acceptable authority that the object of his
visit is 10 urge upon Congress the i'm
portance of correcting the Mckinley bill in
order to make it conform TO the Haw allan
treaty. lie talks very freely on that ques-
tlon, and while he does not say that he will
seek hearing before the Ways and Means
Committee OF the House ON the subject, it
Is understood that he will do so.
10 California Associated Press repre-
sentative Mckinley said that he considered
1t his duty to give the matter his personal
attention and he would do so. He was
watching for favorable opportunity,to call
up the bill. This was EOt question of high
or low tariff or free trade according TO his
Judgment, but simply question of honor
in which the United States is deeply inter-
ested. He said there would be no trouble
whatever to pass the bill in the House and,
quoting his language, you can just tell
your California people that they need have
no fears about the matter, for it will certain
ly be corrected"
The California members are watching the
matter closely, and they refer to it as one of
the matters that must be disposed of this
session and regard it as of unusual interest
W Ndilloinid LII tne Senate sherman
has recently made two attempts to
call up the matter, and al one time Carlisle
said lie wanted little time to secure some
data relating to the question, and a second
time Carlisle was absent and consideration
went over by Senatorial courtesy. 1t is
understood that he intends to oppose maxi
ing any correction to conform to treaty
stpulations, and in this he will be backed
by his party. II will take the position that
the tariff law should not favor one country
more than another, and sees in this an OPP
portunity to make grand flourish of trunl-
pets in accordance with the old-time Demo-
cratic doctrine 1t is not thought the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate will take enough interest
in the discussion to filihuster and prevent a
vote being reached. The bill, however, is
conceded TO be at their mercy in the absence
of a clOture rule to shut them off.

BURIED ALIVE.
Terrible Treatment Of an American in a
Russian Prison.

BosroN, Feb. s.-The Herald tomorrow
WILL publish the story of Captain Morris, re-
latlng his experience as a prisoner for three
years in the Siberian coal mines. Captain
Morris says he was captain of the schooner
Helena, which sailed from Yokohama April
II, 1885, on q cruise for walrus, They cap
tured walrus i'll Russian territory and the
schooner was captured by a Russian gun
boat. The schooner and crew were taken to
NladIvostoek, where they were tried and
convicted Of violating the seal and fishing
laws.
They were condemned TO Imprisonment in
4 coal mine for three years. They were
obliged TO send up ten tons of coal per day
Tor the first year and six tons per day for
The other years. If the stated amount of
coRl did not come up rations would be
given them. Captain Morris WAS fastened
TO Pole. the chain between them eing
eight feet long. After being fastened the
captain saw no one but the Pole until he was
liberated, not being allowed to leave the
mine during the entire three years, sleeping
on the floor of the mine ana subsistiug on
rice soup.
At the end Of three months his companion
died, but no one came to release him from
the body. At the end of fifteen days the
captain cut the Poles body in two with a
shovel aud got it upon load of coal.
When Morris came out he found that
his crew, had just been released.
Together they walked $50 miles
to Vladlvostock, the Russians refusing
them Transportation. They were coal-be-
grimed, ragged and sore from the bites Of
vermin. A vessel took them to a United
States Consul. who provided them with
clothing, and they took their first hot bath
in three years.
The Consul furnished them with trans
portatiOn to Yokohama, from whence they
went to San Francisco MOrris finally raach-
ing Boston, his native place, last November
Last Friday he left the house of friends
to come to this city and since that time ne

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The Democrats
ar9 very much disturbed over the fact that
tnree out OF five of their party on the Com
mlilee on Coinage, Weights and Measures
are against the Silver Bill Bland and Will
iahs are the only Democrats on the COM
mittee who favor the bill, and they are doing
all IN their power to get the party to take
some action to force Vaux. Tracy and Will
cox to act with them. The Democratic
caucus last night. which was attended by
only sHty-one members, was to consider
thlS matter at the solicitation of Bland
and Williams. The attendance and interest
shown did not meet the expectation of
bland, and he insists on applying the party
lash more vigorously and hold another
caucus early in the week. He thinks that
he VIII be able to bring Vaux and Wilcox
into line.
Senator Stewart is evidently in a very
am@ble frame of mind toward his party.
lie said tonight: "After a very thorough
CANVASS of the Republicans in the Senate

this is the last opportunity that the party

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE,
How Pretty Apple-PeddIer Became

How a Pretty Apple-PeddIer Became a
Rich Mans Wife.
There sailed away on one of the big ocean
steamships few dayo ago as bonnie bride
as l ever saw. She goes to the Continent
for few months with her rich Cuban hus-
band. Three years ago she was peddlng
apples on Park Row. She was young
woman OF commanding presence but poorly
educated, and was known by, the name of
10. She had dancing black eyes, coal black
hair and all the comelineSs of a beautiful
Irish girl. During the years she went
through the big buildings downtown no
word of suspicion was ever breathed
against her. She had many admirers, and,
as she told me on many occasions, bona-fide
offers OF marriage from well-to-do men.
One day, two years ago, she disappeared,
and for three months l heard nothing Of
her. Then to my amaZement she swept into
my office one day, and for a moment l
hardly recognized her, she was so richly
dressed She carried Spanish primer in
her hand, and was surprised TO learn that
she had been deyotlng her time to the study
OF the Spanish language with a private
tutor, and had also been preparing her
self in the rules of good society She told
me rich Cuban had fallen in love with her
and had supplied her mother with
all the funds necessary for her educa-
tion, and that he had gone to Spain on
business trip and would return in a year
to claim her as his bride. Perhaps it was
because | am not much given to romance
that l laughed at her, but she stuck peril
naci0uSly to her story, and three or four
times during the past year she has visited
ME, as she has visited many of her old Gus
toners. A week ago l received sweetly
scented note in strange feminine hand. AS
it was signed by a name that l had never
heard of | was at loss for some time to uu-
derstand its meaning. until read in post

was 10, the apple girl. and she was mar
ried and living at the Murray Hill Hotel
for few days, and she asked me 10 come
ana see her and meet hsr husband aud con-
gratulate her. / did so, and was surprised to
find her superbly gowned, her ears flashing
with diamonds, and altogether conducting
herself much the same as any society queen.
Her husband | found to be very agreeable
man, entirely wrapped up in admiration of
his wife. and devoted as any bridegroom
should be. There were others of her old
friends there, and in the evening there was
friendly glass of wine, in which all pres
ent drank her health and prosperity, and the
next day she sailed away in one of the big
ships, and is now on the Atlantic When
she has made a sufficient stay on the COuti-

EVA'S RESOLUTION.
She Viii Try TO Have Ray HamiItOn'S
Body EXhlmsd.

New YORK, Feb. S.-The Herald says
that Eva Hamilton. so called. has deter
mined that as soon as the roads are passa-
BILE she will visit the scene of the alleged
death Of Robert Ray Hamilton and have
the body exhumed, SO that she may deter
mine whether or not the body is Rays.
When informed Of her purpose, General
Schuyler Hamilton, his father, stated that
the family was morally certain Of his death,
and added: "She cannot see the ody, as
she is not his wife. The Surrogate's de-
cision dcprives her Of any right in this mat
ter. Certainly she shall not exhume the
body"
Concerning the statement Of A o. How
ard, General Hamilton said: "He was never
one of my sons playmates. If he was
honest in his declarations of his knowl-
edge OF my sons whereabouts. and
that lie had received letter from
him dated October 3, 1890. when
my son died on August 21st he should have
shown that letter. OF course my son may
have had a schoolEiate named Howard, but
l certainly never heard his name There
is. honestly believe. absolutely no fouuda-
tion for Howard's statement"
w WASHINGTON, Feb. S-Naval officers in
Washington pronounce Howard to be a
vulgar braggart with mania for notoriety.
lie was dismissed as an enlisted man from
the navy some years ago for impersonating
officers.
BLACKFooT, Feb. S.-Three affidavits rel
ative to the death of Robert Ray Hamilton
have been made. They are those of Rom
Liepert, GottlieD Bieri and Christian Atsch-
bacheT. who state that they all knew Robert
Ray Hamilton in his lifetime and saw him
frequently at the Marymere Ranch in Wy
oming. where Hamilton lived and where
the tnformaDts were employed by John Sar-
gent They say the body found in Snake
River was that of Hamilton.
