MOVED TO THE PALACE.
THE GOVERNMENT BARRACKS
EVACUATED
The Regulars Occupy New Line OF
Defence in the Ex-Royal Abode
Other Matters

AT seven o'clock this morning Com
pany E, N. G. H., under Captain Good
moved from the Barracks over the
basement of the Palace building where
they will be stationed hereafter,
There has been a considerable feel
ing Of insecurity on account Of the sur
roundings of the barracks, there being
good points Of attack near it, and the
finding of the bomb last night in such
close proximity only fastened matters
The Ministry will probably move
over this afternoon after council meet
ing, as the Palace is so much less vul
nerable TO attack than is AliolanI
Hale.
For the present Company A (Auxil
iary) will stay in the Government
building and while Company E is ex
pected to use the Palace for their quar-
tiers night and day, the barracks build
ing will be used as a kitchen and mess
house.
Quite likely the barracks will be
eventually dlsmantled or removed
The matter is now under ADJUSTMENT.
A large consignment of arms anC
ammunition, fer the use Of a Citizens
Reserve, came on the Alameda.

THE DISTRICT COURT.
Walker Gets Scott Free and Goes
Away Other Cases Tried.

Before Judge Foster this morning A.
r. Walker, ex-turnkey at the station
house, was brought up for examination
on two charges, one for larceny in the
first degree for stealing 200 tins Of
opium from the station house during
March, 1893, and one for larceny in
the third degree in stealing revolver,
the property Of the Hawaiian Govern
ment, in April last.
Deputy Marshal Brown entered a
Holie byoSeqHi in the first charge, and
on the second charge, policemen
Parker, Klemme and Patterson testi-
fed on behalf of the Government, while
the defense introduced testimony
from Archie Sinclair, f. {. Crick and
Percy Gardner, to prove that the pistol
claimed to have been stolen by defend
ant from the station house had been
his for some time before he entered the
employ Of the Government.
Judge Foster found the defendant not
guilty and he was discharged, and,
It IS said left for San Francisco on the
Alameda this noon.
Male, Julia, Ane and Sarah who
we're arrested on Klnlu staeet last

Another Correspondent Arrives.

w. H. Holmes, representative OF
the Southern Associated Press, arrived
on the Monowai this morning and
is quartered at one Of the hotels.
He reports the American rumor
that dispatches were in this days mail
for American Minister Blount order
ing the restoration Of the United
States prutectorate over these islands,
and the hosting of the flag on the
Government buildings. He further
said that it was thought this would be
consummatcd about four days after the
arrival of the advices as above.

THE SPRECKELS LOAN.
THE GOVERNMENT TAKES UP
TWO NOTES.
Forty Five Thousand Dollars Paid
Other Notes Will Be Duly
Provided For.

AT eleven o'clock this morning Min
lister of Finance Damon walked into
Claus Spreckels & Co.'S bank and
handed over to Cashier Spaulding forty
five thousand dollars as part payment
of the Spreckels Loan Of SOS 900 which
was demanded by the bank last Mon
day.
The cashier of the bank cancelled
and handed over to Minister Damon
two notes, one dated September 10,
1892, for $50, 1000, drawing interest at
IN per cent, and one dated
November II, 1892 for $4,000, draw
ing interest at 8 per cent. This leaves
in the Spreckels bank yet, two
notes of $25, 900 each, dated September
10th and 2oth of last year, each draw
ing interest at IN per cent.
Upon the public's knowledge of the
SpreckePs bank demand on last Mon
day there was an immediate response
by the wealthy friends of the Govern.
ment, and P. G. Jones and a number
Of others were enthusiastic for raising
the funds that were needed Immediately
and paying the loan that day. There
was no question of money, or the
amount of it, but the opinion prevailed
that no unnecessary means should be
insisted on for raising it by hypo-
theCation of stocks or bonds as
some of the Governments friends were
willing and anxious to do or to
mortgage their own homes if the Gov
eminent needed the money that badly,
but it was held that the money should
be borrowed only from those who had
it to lend and from those who were
true and tried friends of the Provision.
al Government.
To the money advanced yesterday,
to the extent of $4,000, will in a few
more days be added the $4,000 re
manning and the same will be paid
over, thus Kidding the Treasury from
any fear from further demands foI
payment of other debts than interest
for the remainder of this year. The
few thousands Of bonds maturing be
fore next January are already pro
vided for. The wealthy gentlemen who
have assumed the Spreckels obligation
have perfect faith in the stability of the
Government to the last cent they pos
sess, and they are willing to let the
money they have loaned lay in the
Treasury until the Minister feels per
fectly able to repay them Not onl,
this, but there are three or four time
945, 900, which can be raised in twenty
four hours, if imperative, by these same
patriotic citizens.

Spinal Paralysis Results Fatally-Death
Unexpected.

Unexpected.
Richard J., Creighton, private secre.
tary to J. d. Spreckels, died suddenly
at his home, 1923 Broderick street, at
5:35 O'Clock last evening, after a few
hours illness. He arose at 7 o'clock
yesterday morning feeling as well as
usual, but had hardly dressed himself
when he felt numbness steal over his
limbs. He fell over on the bed and
called for help. Members of the family
rushed in and found that he was suffer-
ing from a sudden attack of paralysis,
which seemed to be centered in his
legs. They rubbed his limbs and he
experienced some relief. But the
paralysis returned and physician was
summoned. He pronounced Mr.,
Creighton's illness as an attack OF
spinal paralysis, with complications of
heart troubles.
The patient remained in bed all day
and rested easily until late in the after
noon. Five minutes before his death
he became unconscious. He expired
surrounded by his family and friends
The deceased was a native of Lon
donderry, Ireland, and was IS years OF
age. He was well and favorabjy known
in business circles during the many
years he resided in Sab Francisco.

Bleeding al the Noss.
Round.

This common incident, which is rarely
alarming, may result from a blow, OF
occur spontaneously. 1t may sometimes
be beneficial by relieving an internal
congestion, as when it is preceded by a
feeling Of fulluess in the head. The
bleeding often stops, after a short inter
val. without treatment. Where it
persists, however, steps must be taken
to control it. The first thing to dis
cover is whether the blood comes only
from one nostril or both. The nostril
may be compressed and the arm raised
we'll over the head on the affected side.
Cold water may then be applied to the
forehead aud nape Of the neck, which
acts in reflex way by tending to con-
tract the blood vessels. The popular
idea that by applying a key to these
parts the bleeding will be controlled
doubtless has its origin from the facs
that the metal in this object is cool, aud
thence may act as above. Ia case the
hemorrhage is still uncomfortable, an
injection OF ice water may be made into
the nostril, or common salt aud water,
teaspoonful of the former to glas;tul
of the latter. II these agents are not
sufficient, ordinary vinegar may be in-
iected, with the head thrown well back
so as to be sure that the fluid reached all
parts OF the nasal cavity. In rare in.
stances the hemorrhage will persist to a
dangerous degree, aud it will be necss-
sary for a physician to tightly plug the
nostrils with cotton. Even when blood
ceases to appear from the nose, the
throat must be carefully examined TO see
if the blood is not flowing in this direc-
ton, from the back of the nostril. OF
course, one would soon be informed Of
this by the splitting of blood from the
mouth. New York Press.

0riQin Of Life Insurance.

It is a curious fact that "the doctrine
OF probabilities, or the scientific bl'ls
upon which all insurance rests, had its
origin in a game of cards. Tnat i' to
say, the foundation u)ol which this
great economy depends, aud upon waicl
1t owes its claims to the conf telc; an l
patronage Of the community, originated
from investigation regarding games OF
chances. As related by the North Amer
icau Review, it happened in this way
About the year 1869 the Clevaler de
Mere, File nish noble nan, who was
both a respectable mathematician aud an
ardent gamester, attempted to solve the
problem Of dividing equitA5ly the stlSe'
when a game of chance was interrupted. J.
The problem was too difficult for him
aud he sought the aid Of the fan)u'
Abbe Blaise Pa,cli, priest. author OF
"Night Tnorghts' aui one OF tue most
accomplished mathen'ticians OF any age.
Pascal solved the problem, and in doug
so enuuciated the "dOc;rine Of prObl)il-
tiles" or laws governing so'clllei
chances. Upon this depend no! only the
laws governing insurance OF all kinds,
but also the laws governing the motions
OF planets in space aud, III fact, all as
Economical science. This doctrine or
theory Pascal illustrated by the throT wing
of dice. When a single die is thrown
the chance of turning up an ace IS pre-
cisely one out Of six, or one Oh; OF
the total number OF sides or faces. BIT
if a largo number of throws arc mlts 1t
will be found that each fac. will be
turned up an equal number OF tines.
From this Pascal laid down the propo'
sition that results wiich have happeaet
in any given number of ob'ervei cases
will again happen under simiIAr circln'
stances, provided the nunb'r' be slh-
cient for the proper working OF the Law
of average. Tau, the duration Of the
life of a single individual is one OF the
greatest Ut certaiutie', but the duration,
or rate Of mortality, of large nunoet
of individuals may be predicted witd
