the failure of the Indian and Rus

that the English crop
should not be short. In the chief
wheat counties the crop is above
the average, and in the other coun-
ties up to the average. The har-
vest will be late and the prices
high, so there is prospect of the
English farmer seeing a break in a
long series of disastrous years.

of the world as follows: In Rus

peasantry are starving, and there
is small hope of relief. In India
there Is a serious anxiety, and

A telegram received at Washing

further states that "Of It's results
perhaps the most important is tn
admission of the Australian col

takes effect July 1, 1892. The onl,
civilized countries now remainin,
outside of the union are Cape Col

at the next Congress, making tn
Postal Union universal in fact a

Hawaiian Hardware Co., Id
MONDAY, August 8.
Now good digestion waits on
Appetite: and health on both.

we We DCCll WAITING
weeks for a big shipment OF
Fischer's wrought steel ranges
and have had to lose sales be-
cause they were delyaed IN
reaching us. We're all right
nova warehouse full of them
and every size you ask for.
These ranges merit more
than a passing notice, and we
are going to tell you some
thing about them you never
knew before. Housewives
don't like to get new stoves
because there's a something
about them that's unpleasant.
A sort of dread that the dam
pers won't work, or the stove
will not draw, crops out, and
the good wife prefers to suffer
the ills that are rather than
fly to those they know not of.
The term range" suggests
bricks and mortar, and a
weeks fuss and dirt in placing
in position. Not SO with the
Fischer-there's no bricking
up to do. All there is to it is
to place it where you want and
connect the pipe. Your range
is ready to receive the meats
and in less than the time it
usually takes to cook things,
your food is on the table, more
palatable than it has ever been
before.
You wonder why the Fischer
range should be better than
any other stove! Well tell
you. In this country the mat
ter of fuel is a very large
item of expense. AS you
have turned over a new leaf
and intend economizing where
you never thought of before,
you may begin on your coal
and wood. 1t is a positive fact
that the Fischer range uses
only about one-half the guam
tity of fuel any other stove
does. That's one point.
Every one who uses the or
binary stoves knows that once
in so often the fire bricks burn
out or break. The fire bricks
in the Fischer range are made
of steel, and you couldn't break
them if you'd let the wheels of
a loaded dray run over them.
That's another good point.
The ovens, as with every
other part, are constructed of
wrought steel, and it is an
acknowledged fact that this
material will absorb the heat
quicker, more evenly. more in
tensely and retain it much
longer than one made of cast
iron. The heat is more moist,
consequently the food, when
prepared, is not SO dry and
void of nutrition, besides be-
ing more palatable. Two or
three good points in one.
The walls of the Fischer
range are double with asbestos
between the two sheets of
steel, thus making them more
durable, and prevents the rad
, 1atlOn OF too much heat into
the kitchen, as does the cast
stove or range. 1t also pro-
tects the lining from being
torn out when cleaning the
flues. The joints of the oven
are riveted closely, thus, pre-
venting ashes, dust, SCOT or
coal gas coming in contact
with the food and making it
worthless. Now then These
are a few of the good points
in the Fischer Wrought Steel
Range. Do you want one !?
They burn wood or coal,
and each has the hot water
pipes in position ready to at
tach to the boiler. The larger
ranges have the broilers at
tached and the smaller ones
have everything ready if YOU

THE CHILEAN SITUATION.


Matters in Chile do not improve as rapid
ly as had been hoped for. The victorious
Congressionalists are pursuing a very vim
dictive policy, which will long delay the
tranquilizing of the country. Everyone
who sided or sympathized with Balmaceda
is looked upon as a criminal deserving pun
ishment, and the prisons are full OF the
prescribed ones. 1t is estimated that there
are at least 1000 political prisoners in the
jails, and 10000 more have been ordered to
surrender themselves. The lists of pro-
scribed include all officers in Balmacedas
army above the rank of Lieutenant, and all
who held civil offices during the war. The
residences of Balmaceda's friends in Santa
20 were Quilted by the mob, which destroyed
whatever could not be carried away. The
Junta is supplementing this by acts of con-
fiscation. 1t is asserted that all the wounded
left on the field after the recent battles were
murdered by stilettO thrusts.
The conduct Of the Chilean officials toward
the representatives OF the United States con-
tinues to be exceedingly offensive. The
Legation at Santiago is closely guarded, and
all persons coming out are arrested. Our
Minister'S servants, and even his son, have
been taken into custody by the police, and
detained for greater or less periods The
authorities at Valparaiso have refused to
allow either Commodore schley or Consul
McCreery to be present during the inyesti-
CATION of the massacre Of the Baltimore's
sailors, but say that an interpreter will be
allowed during the examination OF the
American witnesses The feeling in all
circles against Americans is reported to be
very strong.
1t becomes clearer every day that the
English are responsible for much of the
bitterness stirred up against the Americans
The English have control of the immensely
valuable nitrate deposits, and they fear that
the Americans will compel division of this
monopoly. Minister Egan incurred theil
hostility by endeayoring to secure a foothold
for the Americans in this profitable business
and also TO establish an American line o.
steamers plying between San Francisco aud
Valparaiso. Hence the English enmity
against him.
Unless there is a radical change Of policy
by the new Administration which is nov
entering into power, it viii become very
necessary TO make some demonstration
against Chile which viii bring the people
there TO their senses. Nothing that we car
do viii make them more inimical than they
now are, while sharp lesson administered
TO them viii have the effect of teaching then
that they must respect our flag and our PEG
pie, and that il is very much to their interes
to be on good terms with US. To let thing
20 on az they have been will simply ruiz
US in the estimation Of the whole of Soutl
America, and effectually destroy all hopes 0
our ever building up commerce with tina
portion Of the world.
