ACTOR NJ. b. CURTIS has got himSoh
into a nasty scrape through his late es-
capade in San Francisco, which resulted
in the killing of Policeman GRANT. Mr..
CURTIS was beastly drunk and, being
unable to take care Of himself, was
taken care Of by Policeman GRANT, who
found it necessary TO handcuff his hilar-
ious prisoner. Beyond these facts moth
Ing is known except that Policeman
GRANT was shot and killed and CURTIS
was arrested for the killing. He was
found hand-cufTed and drunk in a
gutter. The question is, how could a
man beastly drunk with his hands
manacled draw q revolver and shoot
the policeman who had hold OF him?
1t now appears according to another
witness, that there was third party
present and this third party, friend
of the actor, is said to have done the
shooting, which seems altogether pro,
bable.

EDITOR MULLY, OF the Minneapolis

are a misfortune to the farmer. When
the crops are poor, and grain scarce,
says he, the price goes up! Mr.. MULLY
is said to have been prominently con-
nected with the publication Of the hold
your-wheat circular, which may throw
some light on this wonderful argument.

sea, which maintained sluggish Calm
like lake OF deud water. Everything
differed, they said, in these strange re-
gions from the world 70 which they had
been accustomed. The only winds which
prevailed with any consistency and foros
we're from the east, and they had not
power TO disturb the torpid stiffness of
Inc ocean. Thers was . risk, therefore,
rither of perishiny erniG st4ssnant and

by contrary winds from ever returning
TO their native country.
Columbus continued with admirable
patience to reason With these fancies
observing that the oalrnness Of the sea
must undoubtedly be caused by the
vicinity of land in the quarter whence
the wind blow, which, therefore, had
not space sufficient to act upon the srr-
face and heave up large waves, Terror,

every day described circle around the
pole. The high opinion which the pilots
entertained Of Columbus as profound
astronomer gave weight to this theory,
and their alarm subsidized. AS vet the so
lar system of Copernicus was unknown;
the explanation OF Columbus, therefore,
was highly plausible and ingenious, and
1t shows the vivacity of his mind ever
ready to meet the emergency of the mo

advanced merely to satisfy the minds
Of others, but Columbus appears subse-

it himself. The phenomena has now be-

mysteries of nature, open to daily obser-

simple from their familiarity, but which

conscious Of its limits, battling the expe-
Renee Of the practical and humbling the

VARIOUS TrnRoRs OF THE sEAMEN.

VARIOUS TERRORS OF THE sEAMFN.
On the 14th Of September the voyagers
were reioiced by the sight of what they
considered h,rbingers of land. A heron
and a tropical bird called the RADIO de
Junco, neither of which arc supposed to
venture far to sea, lowered about the
ships. On the following night they were
stuck with awe at beholding meteor,
or, as Columbus calls it IN his journal a
great flame of fire, which seemed to fall
from the sky into the sea aOoEt four or
five leagues distant. These meteors.
common in warm climates. and espe-
clally under the tropics, are always seen
in tho serene azure sky OF those lati-
tudcs, falling as it Wers from the
heavens, but never beneath a cloud. In
the transparent atmosphere Of one Of
those beautiful nights, where every star
shines with the purest luster, they often
leave luminous train behind them,
which lasts tor twelve or fifteen seconds,
and may we'll be compared 70 u flame.
The wind had hitherto been fayora Die,
with occasional though transient clouds
and showers They had nude great
progress each day, though Columbus,
according to hi, secret plan, contriyed
to suppre>. seve~al leagues in the daily
reckoning left open 10 the crew,
They had now arrived within the in
f1uence OF the trade wind, winch, follow
ing the sun, blows steadily from east to
west between the tropics and sweeps
over few adjoining degrees of ocean.

thought there was land in that direction.
There was in fact cloudiness in the
north such as often hangs over land,
and at sunset it assumed such shapes md
masses that many fsncied they beheld
islands, There was a universal wish,
therefore, to steer for that quarter. Co
lumbus, however, was persuaded that
they were mere illusions, Every ons
who has made sea voyage must have
witnessed the receptions caused by
clouds resting upon the horizon, ca
pecially about sunset and sunrise, which
the eye, assisted by the imagination and
desire, easily converts into the wished
for land This is particularly the case
within the tropics, where tho clouds at
sunset assume the most singular appear
ances.
On the following day there were driz-
cling showers, uuaccompanied by wind,
which Columbus considered favorable
signs; two boobies also flew on board the
ships, birds which, ne observed seldom
fly twenty leagues from land. He
sounded, therefore, with line of 200
fatholns, but found no bottom. He sup
posed he might be passing between is
lands lying TO tho north and south, but
was unwilling to waste the present ia
voring breeze by going in search of
them; besides, he had confidently affirmed
that land was to be found by keeping
steadfastly to the west; his whole expe-
dition had been founded on such pre-
sunption; he should, therefore, risk all
credit and authority with his people

HER ALLEGED MISSION.
The Charleston to Seize Hawaii
should Certain Events Occur


Shanghai, Nov. 13.-The special
correspondent of the United Press,
who was sent to China with instruc-
tions to investigate the matters which
have been causing so much uneasi-
ness in diplomatic circles throughout
Europe and the United States, is
now in this city, and from a high
authority has been placed i'll posses
sion of most important facts. The
United States cruiser Charleston has
left these waters for Honolulu, capt.
tai of the kingdom Of Hawaii, and it
is asserted here, in quarters likely to
know the truth or falsity Of report
of this nature, that the commander
of the Charleston, Geo. G. Remey,
has received instructions from the
United States Government to seize
the Hawaiian Islands, should certain
eventualities occur. The United
Press correspondent has made care
full inquiry in regard to this matter,
and while not able TO state that it is
q fact that the Charleston has started
on the important mission mentioned,
he is able to say that, beyond any
doubt, it is believed in official circles
here that the Charleston has been Or
dered, should certain events occur,
to seize the Hawaiian Islands. In
addition, the United States CORE
spondent has reason 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 COM
mand of the British fleet in Chinese
waters.
OslensibIy the mission of the
Charleston is simply to protect
American interests there and to af-
ford a refuge for American citizens
on those islands should the political
upheaval there take the form which
some people anticipate it may take,
The American colony here, and
others also, seem to be in hearty
sympathy with the United States In
this matter. 1t 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 United
States is the country to police if not
to annex that somewhat disturbed
country under certain circumstances
OF course, there is the possibility
that the events apprehended in the
islands will not turn out so serious
as some people in the United States
fear, but the United States govern
ment has resolved to take the most
energetic measures, should it feel
thoroughly justified in so doing. As
the United Press correspondent
understands it, the Charleston's mis-
sion is not bold and uncalled-for
swooping down upon and seizure of
the Hawaiian kingdom; it is simply
the taking of firm diplomatic step
in what are considered by the United
States government to be the best
interests of the United States.

NEM0'S COMPLIMENTS TO W.L.H.

EDITOR BULLETIN:
In the July Arena Rev. DR..
Carlos Martyr has an article on
'Churchianity VS.. Christianity" in
which he refers to the weakening
grip Of the Church upon practical
life. ut builds cathedrals not men.
1t meets on Sunday for worship in
splendid exclusion and seclusion,
shuts the building through the week,
while the congregation is occupied at
the theatre, in tie ballroom or on
Wall street. The Church
will never rehabilitate itself in popu,
lar.infuence by meretricious expedi-
ents. 1t is not to be saved by broom
drills, dairy maid fairs and catch
penny festivals. Neither will it
better the situation by complaining.
II No; the church must inte-
rest itself in practical affairs, must
be a leader in good works and
words. IN. Y. World, July 9th.
Honest men in the church and out
of 1t, are falling in line with the
Southwest demand for church re-
form. The position of this paper is
receiving the Endorsement of Chris
tian men everywhere. One clergy
man at Oberin, Ohio, writes letter
of hearty thanks for cur exposures
of the Toledo Blade, and the forcing
it to discontinue much Of its most
debaslng filth. The Blade, by the
way, has been excluded from the
reading rooms and libraries of Ober-
lin, as an immoral publication, unfit
for perusal by the public.
Another clergyman writes: "You
are wise in coming and using the
term 'Churchianity,' as distinguish
ing the hypocrisy so prevalent at this
time from christianity You are
also doing q good work in exposing
this hypocrisy as practised in the
churches by preachers, editors of
papers and public officials. May
the righteous God prosper YOU in
this work.
Another letter, also from true
minister of Christ, says: "You are
doing a glorious work in exposing
hypocrites and frauds, from John
Wanamaker and the Toledo Blade,
down to the whining, shifting pulpit
perverters that preach prohibition
and practice etc. Go ahead and
God bless you.' And the reverend
gentleman writing this letter proves
his sincerity by enclosing So for
subscription to the Southwest. We
note with pleasure these good words;
also that our coinage "Churchianity"
has obtained universal acceptance
the very fact approving not only the
aptness of the term, but the necessity
of its creation. South West.
There is not the least doubt that if
score or more of professed Chris
tians in Honolulu would drop such
prohibition papers as the Toledo
Blade, n. Y. Voice, etc., and read
the Southwest oftener, they would
become more manly and liberal in
their views, also live happier, die
easier, and have cleaner tickets to
heaven. MEMO.

came in the form of the following cable
gram:

A decisive battle at Valparaiso, 2sth
August. The revolution entirely unsuc.
cessful. President Balmaceda resigned

The delay in receiving this report has
been solved by the department. Act
ing Secretary Wharton has received in
formation that the telegrapliic cor1mu-
nicauon between Santiago and Valpar.
also, the western cable terminus, had
been cut and has just been restored and
that the line eastward from Santiago to
Buenos Ayres has been interrupted by
heavy SHOWS in the Andes mountains.
Although Minister Egan's cablegram
officially indicates the success OF what
he describes as tho revolution, he has
not yet informed the Department of
State that n government has been set
up that may be recognized as n govern
lnent OF the people by the representa-
tives of this country. Accordingly the
department will probably await further
detailed information from the minister
before according formal recognition to

SAN FRAScrseo, Sept "A Honolulu
letter says tho new Hawaiian queen be-
comes daily more unpopul lar with the
natives and Americans, as she takes no
pains to conceal her favoritism for the
English and ignores the sutferings OF
the natives at the hands OF the big
sugar corporations.
The republican feeling in the island
is spreading rapidly. The platform of
tho recently formed labor party de-
mands now constitution, n republican
form OF government and hints at an
nexation with the United States. The
recent census shows that over half the
whito population has left the island in
tho last SIX years having been crowded
out by Asiastic coolies, imported by the
sugar planters, and tho natives are
rapidly dying oil.
