The following letter from Captain H. H. Lloyd,
received by me April q, will be OF interest to
those persons who have followed the controversy
between Mr.. Henry W. Elliott aud myself. in
which he dramatically reiterates his wild state
ments about the fur seals of the far North Pa
cific ocean and Bering sea, which have proved
to be false and misleading.

Old Laws Up to January 81.
Gen. Raum, commissioner of pensions, has
written letter to Secretary Noble calling his
attention to the business of the pension office
during the past seven months. There have
been received to January 81, 1891, $50, 87s APP
plications for pensions Under the act of June
"a. 1890, and 116, S39 under former laws. All
these applications have received proper atten-
ton. Total number of claims pending, ,162,-

Gates have been issued to pensioners.
The number of original claims allowed last
year was 66.631. The first payment on these
claims So. AS. 81. the average payment
being S4o57l. The number of original claims
under the old laws that will be allowed this
year will probably not exceed $1,000 with an

Cal year. being reduction of so, 0O0. 900 on
first payments for the fiscal year, as compared

From these figures, says Gen. Raum, it will
be seen that the predictions made in some
quarters OF an extraordinary deficiency occur
ring in the appropriations for the present and
next fiscal years are not likely to be fulfilled.
The commissioner declares that the practical
operation of the act OF june 81 $780, as shown
by the work thus far in the Office. will be to
materially reduce the annual value OF pensions

The Woman Who Plesses.

From the New York World.
''She knows just how to talk to all kinds and
conditions Of men," was the Recommendation
given for bright woman who makes her liv-
ing as much by her ability to please as by her
actual labors.
Seeing that woman afterward and observing
her closely one could not but be impressed with
the truth Of what had been said. She was CAV
with the gay, silent when any one else wanted
to talk, laxative with the shy, always good
tempered, never too animated and never, never
visibly in pain or in tears. She was always
charming, bright, sympathetic and sweet. She
was witty, too, but not terribly SO. She kept
her wit to illumine conversation and to tighten
dull spirits; not to burn hearts nor to scorch
sensitive feeling. Everybody went from her
presence feeling comfortable in spirit and with
reasonably satisfied hearts. She was peace
maker and courage-strengthener. There
are two or three dozen such women in the
world, and when You find one she will tell YOU
that it is almost impossible for her TO get an
evening to herself, because so many dear. kind
friends are apt to drop in Of an evening. And
she will add: I'm glad it il 80, for Lshould not
be able to get through the day without the
prospect of these pleasant evenings. / wish
the days might be all evenings, with q time
table that never crept beyond the limits Of 8 to
IL PM"

been Issued for them they decided that there

A PRINCE FROM SCHENECTADY.
Incidents in the Early Life Of the Consort
OF Queen Liliuokalani.

Incidents in the Early Life Of the Consort
Of Queen Liliuokalani.
From the Schenectady Union.
Many an Old Forter will remember q little
dark skinned, black haired, foreign looking
boy playing in Front street and around '2's'
engine house forty-five or fifty years ago. He
will be recalled as Johnny Dominis. He was
stranger and the boys took him in. The story
Of the boy was this:
His father was captain Of q whaler, Who
with his wife and three children, Johnny and
his two sisters, lived at 26 Front street in the
hospitable home of the Rev. DR.. Andrew Yates
Dominis cruised in the neighborhood of the
Sandwich islands. This was missionary
ground, and Dominis was pious man. Dr.
Yates became interested in him and his family.
So during the long cruises the wife and chill
dren remained here. The two sisters. Fanny
and Catherine, died of a remarkable complaint
too rapid growth. Like lilies they rose rapidly
TALL slender and fragile. dropped and died.
Both lie near the tomb of Col. Christopher
Yates and by the grave Of DR.. Andrew Yates.
The captain took his last voyage. Pirates
seized his ship in the South Pacific, and the
brave officer was made to walk the plank into
tho sea. The widow and her children went to
the Sandwich Islands, leaving some boxes of
household goods in the charge of the family
with whom she had lived so long. A prey to
domentia and melancholy, she walked
every day along the shores of Honolulu, refus-
ing to believe the death of her husband, and
watching hourly for his return. little while
ago the faithful wife's vigil ended, and she met
him on another shore.
Meanwhile Johnny throve apace. He was well
taught at Miss Ritchie's school, grew to be q
man of brain and nerve and activity, won the
confidence of King Kalakaua, was made COVER
nor Of the Island of Oahu, married Liliuoka-
lani, the kings sister, and ultimately became,
in reality. the ruler of the islands:
King kalakaua came to this country on visit
in 1881 and Johnny came with him. Johnny
was written to by those of DIR. Yates family,
who were then in Schenectady, to come and
get his two trunks. But he had his hands full
with the royal traveller and he wrote letter of
thanks, saying that he had intended to come
here, but his constant attendance on his
majesty made it impossible. He did not say he
was having worse racket than he ever had
on the Old Fort, but 1t could be read between
the lines. He directed the trunks to be opened.
They were, but nothing but what had evil
IDENTIFY been handsome furs and laces and
other feminine bric-a-brac crumbling into dust
was disclosed.
And now the king is dead. Johnny's wife is
queen. Johnny himself is prince consort as
Prince Albert u England was. But Johnny is
really king; has been for fifteen years. Think
of boy being educated at Miss Ritchie's
school, and under the refining influences of the
Old Fort, coming to be king.

His Views ON the South, Government Tele-
graph and the Currency.
special from Knoxville to the New York
San says the Gould party arrived at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. The party were driven
to the residence Of Col. Sandford, where they
were entertained at luncheon. In the evening
they attended a reception at the residence Of
Col. McGhee.
Mr.. Gould said last night in an interview:
'The south is now developing rapidly, and
think will continue to do so. There is some
western business coming this way. There is a
good deal of grain coming south now. Kansas
CITY may be fairly taken as the place from
which TO reckon comparative distances to the
coast. NV impression is that from that point
to the coast by way of the Missouri Pacific and
the terminal system, and thence by water to
New York, is about the same by the northern
roads,
When asked if he thought the railroads of
management Mr.. Gould said: mo. 1t is too
big an undertaking. Owners of some roads
take their worth more than others. Then the
stock OF diyldend-paying roads is scattered.
People have different ideas and it is hard to
get them together"
In regard to railroad regulation he said .'In
some states where the commissioners have
worked IN unison with the roads they have done
great good to the roads and to the state. In
other cases i. has been the reverse
He did not think that government control of
the telegraphs would cheaper the service to the
people.
In regard to the quantity and the proper
form OF currency Mr.. Gould said: ''As to the
surhclency OF currency, we are now increasing
at the rate of about S., OO0, 600 month by the
operation of the silver bill. We are beginning
to feel it and at the end of a few months will
feel it much more. What created .he strin-
gency here was the feet that people got scared
and did not know how far Congress might 20
toward free coinage, and they boarded their
gold. Now that confidence is restored, money
has come out and you will notice tina. money in
New York is drug. AS to the proper form OF
money, treasury notes, based on gold ard sill
yer, is the best"
