Politics in Hawaii-A New Wonderland-speed
of Locomotives-The Diamonds OF the
World-An Athlete Talks.

James A. Wilder, one of the brightest
young men of Hawaii, is at the Grand HO-
tel on his way East. He says that the
rumors which have been sent out from
Honolulu alleging that the sentiment of the
islanders was in favor of annexation with
the United States are not to be credited.
"Just at present." he says, "the native
population are thoroughly imbued with the
Wilcox idea Of preserving the autonomy of
the islands. and, while it is merely senti-
ment, it is firmly imbedded in the native
mind. Annexation, if ever accomplished,
must result entirely from the action of the
Government at Washington.
"The present Queen is fairly popular. but
principally so with the native population.
1t was noticed that when the body of her
husband lay in state recently for a week at
the royal palace but few white families
called to pay their respects. The visitors
were almost entirely natives.
1T may be of interest to America to know
that England has permanently withdrawn
her war-shps from the Hawaiian station.
They have been endeavoring for years to
get the best of the Americans, but finding it
impossible have given up the contest. OF
course ships would be sent in case of
trouble to protect English property, but the
latter is so small that it would require but
little attention.

HOW HE PAID THE DEBT.
A Dude Cancels Note Due a Sport Will
His Own Coin.

His Own Coin.
One of the best-known sports in this city
has been so mad for week that he has not
been able to distinguish one card from an
other, and all On account of little joke
played on him by one Of the town dudes,
who owns a rich but stingy father, says the
Los Angeles Herald.
A little over a month ago the dude asked
the sport for an accommodation, and note
of hand for 500. payable in thirty days,
was drawn up and the paper and coin
changed hands.
Before the thirty days expired the dude
became convinced from the cool manner in
which his papa treated him that be would
not be able TO take I'D the note, and at the
same time he learned that the sport was
very much gone on girl that the dude had
met two or three times.
An idea struck him. so he looked up the
girl and for two or three days he made des-
perate love to her, and he succeeded in Win
Ming her affections. The note was due on
the third day, and something had to be done,
so the dude gathered UP all his courage and
with tears in his eyes he told pitiful story
in the left ear Of the girl, and wound up by
asking her to borrow 800 for him from the
sport. She besitated at first, but the curled
darling pleaded so hard that she consented,
and few hours bsfore the note fell due the
money was Forthcoming. and the dude took
up the note with the sports own money.
The sport has discovered the whole thing,
and if he and the dude meet within the next
few days there is no telling what the result
NAV be.

Major Gilbert K. Osmun, who is snpervis-

of Fresno, is now stopping at the Palace,
and he says that only eighty miles from
Fresno there is veritable wonderland, of
which but little is known to the outside
world.
"The place in question" said he, yester-
day, :" is on the south fork of Kings River,
back in the Sierras. 1t is accessible only by
means of pack-mules, and is as yet practi-
cally unex xplored. Recently met an engin-

Kings River canyon are scattered over great
extent of ground. He found among other
things solid mountain of pure white mar

arrived from the East a few days ago, and
is now at the Baldwin. In discussing the
report fast run over the New Y ork Central
Railroad he said yesterday: at is stated
in the dispatches that single miles were
made in 4S seconds. If this is so the engine
must be as fast as could be made, and was
pushed to her extreme speed. Why? Well,
simply because a locomotive will never be
constructed Oh TIE present plan that will
ever exceed that speed. From actual ex-
pertinent it has been demonstrated that the
grea est'fiight of speed can be obtained with
a driving wheel feet s h inches in diameter.
Larger wheels have proved a failure. Why
it is SO we do not know, but that 1t is so is
certain. This shown, it has been found also
that it is impossible to drive an engine at a
greater speed than mile in very small
fraction less than 4S seconds. This is eX-
planned by the fact that the cylinders can
not be cleared of dead steam fast enough to
allow a quicker stroke, and when an engine
reaches the speed named the dead steam
acts against the pistons and retards her fur
ther action. Engines to exceed the rate in
dicated must be entirely different in plan
from those now in use"
