A STORY FULL OF INTEREST
Clearly the Provisional Govern
ment Was Established Through
the Presence of the United
States Troops-That is Admitted

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. - Secretary
Gresham decided this afternoon to make
public all tho correspondence and the re-
port OF James II. Blount. special commits

vestigate tho revolution which dethroncd
Queen Lilioukalani and the establishment
OF the provisional government. In the re-
port Blount calls attention 10 his recer-
tion by Minister Stevens who ''accompan-
iei by n committee from tho Annexation
club camc On board the vessel which
brought me. He informed mo that this
club mad rented an elegant house, we'll

me very earnestly to accept the offer.
declined it and informed him that should
go TO hotel" He also refused to accept
protfcred favor from the ex-queen.
Concerning the position of the United
States i'm tho islands, he says: Troops
from the Boston were doing military duty
for tho provisional government. Tho
American flag was floating over tho
government building. Within II the pro-
visional government conducted business
under an American protectorate, to be
continued, according to the avowed
purpose OF the American minister. during
the negotiations with the United States
Tor annexation. My instructions directed
me TO make inquiries which in the inter-
est OF candor and truth could not be done
when the minds Of thousands of Hawaiian
citizens were full of uncertainty as to
what the presence OF the American troops,
TIM AnNrr,ran hA
proiectorate implied. 1t seemed necessary
that all these influences must be with
drawn before Inquiries could be prose-
cuied in a manner befitting tho dignity
and power OF the United States. Inspired
with such a feeling and confident
that no disorder would ensuc, directed
TIE removal OF the flag OF the United States
from the government building and tho
return of all American troops to their ves-
sells. This was accomplished without any
demonstration OF joy or grief on the part
oil the populace. The afternoon before in
an interview with President Dole, in re-
sponse to my inquiry, he said that the pro-
visiona! government was now able to pre-
serve order, although 1t could not have
done SO for several weeks after the procla-
nation establishing II.
Blount then tells how Minister Stevens
called upon him with W. +. Smith, who
represented that the withdrawal of tho
United States marines meant that tho
Japanese would land troops from their
man-of-war in the harbor. The American
minister expressed belief in tho state
ment. Tho Japanese commissioner put q
stop to these rumors by having tho vessel
ordered away. The provisional govern
ment, left TO its own preservation, left

handle the biggest and most vicious
mine rats just as he pleases without
being bitten. No one else in the mine
can do it, and the miners and mule
drivers assert that Johnny has a mys-
FERROUS power over the four-legged
pests of the mine Johnny never hurts
or kills a rat, although every other
laborer in the mine Stays every rat he
gets chance to, and the foreman of
the mule barn sets all sorts of traps
for the rats, and keeps an army OF cats
to prey on them. 1t is impossible to
exterminate the mine rats and Johnny
Roche says he is glad of it, because he
would be lonesome if all the rats were
killed The rats get into the mine in
bales of hay for the mules and by
backing down the timbers of the shaft,
They arrive and breed faster than the
men and cats can kill them. and
Johnny is cheerful whenever "a new
hatch comes.
A man fond of oddities found out the
other day when he was lowered into
the mine that Johnny Roche's way of
catching rats with his bare hands was
very interesting. AS soon as there
was an interval between trips Johnny
placed his lamp on a chunk of coal at
the side of the gangway and crawled
on his hands and knees into a chamber
few feet away. In a minute or so a
big gray rat hoped along the top of
the COB, between Johnny and the
light, and the next instant Johnny's
right hand shot out and caught the rat
by the back of the neck. He brought
the rat out to the lamp to let the
visitor see it and then he looked in it's
mouth, smoothed its fur and held it up
by the tail. A trip of cars was COM
ing, and Johnny slipped the rat into
his coat pocket, unlocked the link,
hooked another, took the rat out, tied
a strand of lamp wick loosely around
its neck and drove it back and forth in
the dim light When the lad heard
the next trip rumbling through the
mine toward him he fastened the wick
to a prop and attended to his duties.
The rat didn't offer to yank away or
to bite the wick in two but it hoped
about little and then it sat upon it's
hind quarters, gazed at Johnny and
squealed as though it wanted him to
come and fondle it,
"fll catch another rat now and
harness it with this one, said the boy,
and again he crept into the recess and
faced the lamp. The rat danced
around the prop, but didn't break
loose, and just before the next trip
came Johnny nabbed another big rat

Emperor Hadrian and a rabbi Said
the emperor: "Why, your God is rep
resented as thief, for he surprised
Adam in his sleep and robbed him of

craved permission to reply and when
her request was granted she said:
'.Let me implore thine imperial protec-

ed upon us" What has happeued?''
asked the emperor She answered:
"In the darkness of the night an au-

He took a silver flagon from our chest
of plate and left golden one in its
place" would that such robber

lieu thereof gave unto him a living,

Yes that's all right, as far as you've
gone, said the pretty cashier in hard.
passionless tone, but what's the mat
ter with the hot mince pie you ate over

With blush that was as hot as the

fellow laid the extra nickel down and
walked away without word.

THE CITY OF BOSTON.
Some Statistical Facts In Regard to It's
Increase of Population.

Some Statistical Facts In Regard to Its
Increase of Population.
The original Boston, as founded by
Gov. John Winthrop in 1850, was estab-
lished on a rocky three-hilled peninsula,
in whose thickets wolves and bears
were yet harbored, and which was
known variously as Shawmut and Tri-
mountain. The settlement itself was
a sort of afterthought, being taken as a
substitute for Charlestown, where a
temporary abode had been founded by
Winthrop's party. There had been much
illness there, and so Mr.. Blackstone, or
Blaxtone, who had for seven years been
settled on the peninsula, urged the
transfer of the little colony. The whole
tongue of land then comp rised but 7S2
acres-an area a little less than that
originally allotted to the New York
Central park. Boston now includes
23,661 acres-about thirty times the or.
iginal extent of the peninsula.
1t has population of about 500, 600
the census of 1890 showing 44S, Az in
habitants. BY that census it was the
sixth in population among American
cities, being preceded by New York,
Chicago. Philadelphia, Brooklyn and
st. Louis. 1t 1880 it ranked fifth, st.
Louis having since outstripped it. Ii
1870 it was only seventh, both St Loui,
and Baltimore then preceding it. As
with most American cities, this growth
has been partly due to the annexing OF
suburbs; but during the last ten years,
with a growth of 5,G42, there has beer
no such annexation, showing the in.
crease to be genuine and intrinsic. But
the transformation in other ways has
been more astonishing than the growth.
OF the original three hills one only is
now noticeable by the stranger. my
self can remember Boston in my college
days as pear-shaped peninsula, two
miles by one, hung to the mainland by
a neck a mile long and only few yards
wide, sometimes actually covered by
the meeting of the tide waters from,
both sides. The water almost touched

a tie and let the second rat run over his
lap without touching it The rat might
have jumped away, but 1t seemed to be
under a spell, and when it had capered
across the boys legs few times it
crawled into his coat and snuggled up
as If it was going to take nap. Pretty
soon Johnny took the rat out and
stroked it and showed it's teeth to the
visitor. Then he held it up by the tail,
and it curled up and stuck its nose be-
tween the lads thumb and finger.
Meanwhile the other rat was squeal-

and the young rat tanner got some
more strands, hitched the two together
and drove them up and down the track.

out three times to attend to the cars
before he got the next rat, but in TWEEN

hitched them together as before. While

sessions in the way of gems and
precious stones
The Russians still retain their old
barbaric love of splendor, and when the
empress shows herself she is vision OF
unmatched gorgeousncss She is one
of the few monarchs of Europe who still
make practice of wearing a crown on
great occasions.
Most of the European queens and en-
presses content themselves with a tiara.
Even Queen Victoria on the occasion OF
her jubilee levees wore only one of the
diamond tiaras, such as may be seen on
the heads of women in the boxes of the
opera house.
But the czarina wears a real crown.
There are several she uses but the
favorite one is that made and worn by
the great Elizabeth of Russia, and
which is loaded with gems of great
price. The pearls alone are said to be
valued at something like so, 900 rubles.
When the empress danced with the
Austrian ambassador recently, causing
the significant fact to be flashed around
the world before morning she was ar
rayed in n fashion of which Solomon
never dreamed nor Balkis ever saw.
On her head was the Elizabethau
crown. Her gown was of heavy, white
watered silk, with white velvet train,
embroidered heavily in gold and hung
with gold balls all around the edges,
The front of the gown was ornamented
with ropes of pink coral set in diamonds
and fastened at intervals to the dress.
The necklace she wore contained over
1000 stones and reached nearly from
neck to waist-a mass of rubies, sap
phires and diamonds-a veritable breast
plate of glistening gems
Besides this she wore on her breast
about half of her orders-she has over
forty in all-and they, too. were flash
ing with precious stone.
Her rings, bracelets and earrings were
all equally magnificent and as she
danced it was like the northern lights
in misty sky, myriad flashing rays
of all colors glittering and changing
with every movement-Boston Globe.
