ARMY oFFICERs
Discuss Plans TO Preserve Peace on the
Hawaiian Islnuds.

Hawaiian Islnuds.
New YoRK, Feb. 20.-Ihe Herald to-
day publishes the following from its
correspondent at Washington:
Anticipating the ratification of the
Hawaiian annexation treaty by both
tho United States senate and the Pro-
visional government OF Hawaii, the
military and naval authorities are dis
cussing what should be done for the
preservation OF peace on the islands
pending the establishment OF aperlna-
nent form OF government. 1t is real
lied, from the Heterogeneous character
of the population the islands, and the
general tendency OF the native element
revolution, that peacefully to MAINTAIN
American sovereignty over the islands
there must DO u proper DISPLAY OF mill
tary from the time annexation becomes
an established TACT.
In this connection tho advisability OF
sending troops OF the regular army to
the islands is being informally and seri-
ousiy discussed by many army officers.
Tho navy people, as rule, believe that
the sailors and marines should be
utilized for this purpose, but they arc
forced to admit that by reason OF the
limited number OF naval vessels at hand,
it might be advisable to send several
batteries OF artillery from California, to
remain at Honolulu until some OF the
new vessels can be sent from this coast.
Under tho permanent form of govern
ment to BIO established by legislation it
Is suggested that there should be Il
standing army organized from the in.
hahitants of the islands. A number OF
American officers, it has been further
suggested, should DO detailed to perfect
the organization, and when the United
States has established tho proposed
coaling station in Pearl Harbor there
should DO an American garrison to de-
fond the entrance to the harbor.
For the time being thore is no disro.
sition on the part OF tho authorities to
make display Of force on the islands or
in any way assume an aggressive atti-
tudo that would be likely to offend
other foreign countries having interests
on the islands. but when annexation is
accomplished it seems TO be generally
agreed by tho authorities that good
display OF United States forces will be
necessary TO maintain peace among the
natives aud properly TO protect Amcri-
can interests.

Sptcial DiipGich 10 me IHhHigel'eer
COLUMBUS, o., Feb, 90 Representa-
tive Griffin this afternoon introduced
a bill providing for the establishment
OF naval and marine reserve along the
lakes. 1t created three battalions oil
naval artillery and one torpedo corps
requiring over three hundred men, but
no provision is made for getting sea-
going warriors out on the water for
practicH.
A bill was introduced by Representa-
tive Britain, OF Columbiana, to make
railroads give two cent fare to parties
OF five. The railroads now give excur-
sion rates to parties OF ten and over
and this would bring this cheap fare
nearer the people.
Mr. Price, oil Hooking, introduced a
bill to make unlawful the killing OF the

saloon OF Jim WaEoly, one OF sulIiyan'a

friends drank freely, and about mid
night the effects OF the liquor began to
tell. He rebuked the bartenders for
their slowness aud called one man a

insult and told Mitchell to keep quiet,
He replied with profanity, and the bar
keepers seize bottles and made for him,
They struck him over the head aud
drew blood from his nose, but his
friends interiered and got him out OF
the saloon. They placed "Gentieman

DECLINE OF NEGRO SONGS.
Consequent Upon the Changing Condi-
tions of the Race.

tions of the Race.
One of the bad spots in the negro
character, which has SO much good in
it, is that they are undoubtedly not
strong in their domestic affections, says
the Boston Transcript. The best nurses
in the world, they are Indifferent moth
ers. Their babies are regarded as in
the way, and the mortality among ne
gro children proves an appalling care
lessness of their lives. Consequently
there is not usually deep affection on
the part of the children. They leave
their parents with the utmost readiness,
and an occasional letter is sent, either
to ask for money, which they don't get,
or to brag of their success. Naturally
the younger ones, born in freedom,
have a loathing for everything that per-
tains to slavery. They regard the old
slaves with contempt, and because the
younger ones can read and write they
set the older ones down as too ignorant
to be considered, forgetting that they
were once efficient workers and aver
aged superior in morals and manners
to their descendants.
One of the results of this is the dying
out of the rich, melodious negro songs
not the songs of the negro minstrel
type, which were totally unlike the real
article. This is very great pity, as
these songs were wild and charming
beyond comparison. In slavery times
the negroes were encouraged to sing.
The wheat was reaped to the singing of
the reapers and the best singer gener-
ally headed the row. The ones who
could pick the banjo or scrape the fiddle
were peculiarly privileged.

FLAGS FOR THE FAIR.
Thousands Of Banners Represent
ing Other Nations.
Interesting Sights to Be Seen at the Ex-
position Grounds The Danger
Gus Work OF the
Painters.

The flags for the poles which stud
every building on the worlds fair
grounds are coming in fast, and the
order which has been placed with a
French firm of fiagmakers will soon be
completed. At present nine hundred
hag-poles are in position. Before the
fair opens the number will run into the
thousands. When each pole displays a
flag the decorative effect will be one of
the striking features of the fair. The
flags represent the coIors of forty-five
nationalities. The storehouse for the
department is the south hall of the hor-
ticultural building where sample flags
of every nationality are hanging, a
pretty and interesting sight which is
worth the attention of passing visitor.
A dozen nervy painters have just
commenced the task of painting the
roof and girders of the manufactures
building. Not few visitors pass under
them each day and gaze upward with
breathless interest for five minutes, I'M
til, having assured themselves that no
one is going to fall just yet, they pass
on in search of greater wonders. 1t is
not so much the fact that the men are
working at an elevation of SO many
feet that causes establishment as the
daring heedlessness of their actions.
With a catlike activity they slide along
steel rods so narrow that their heels
project on one side while their toes can
be seen on the other. They seat them
selves on nine-inch planks which are
simply placed, not tied, across these
same rods, and ply their brushes with
as much speed as if there were no drop
of one hundred feet beneath with sud-
den death at the end. A hasty move or
u moments vertigo, and there would be
one painter less employed by the deco
ration department of the Columbian
exposition.
I'm expecting call to the manu-
features building every day, and know
what it will mean," is the way Patrol
Sergeant King tersely expresses it.
When the painters have covered the
roof with an artistic coat of light blue
color another set of men will commence
an equally difficult and daring task.
The director of works has said that I'M
der every glass roof in the exposition
must be placed an awning to moderate
the heat of next summers sun. c. II.
Virgins has charge of the men who will
do this work and he calls it the most
awkward job he has yet undertaken.
Foreman Virgins speaks with author
ity, for he has painted church steeples
and tlag-posts in every state of the
union. The men who hang the awning
will have nothing to aid them but their
own hands and feet, the quickness of
their eyes, and the steadiness of their
heads. They must spread one hundred
and forty thousand yards of canvas I'M
der the roof of the manufactures build
ing alone.

The dukes ruin is due not 50 much to
personal extravaganza as to unfortunate
speculation and investment: With very
pronounced tastes for farming, he has
devoted enormous sums to the develop

however, reaping any financial results.
Some three or four months ago, at
the time of the financial crisis, his
difficulties reached a climax, and he
was compelled TO announce to his
creditors his insolvency. Hoping that
he would be able to effect some arrange

winding up of his affairs, but as he has
been unable TO do anything in the di-

Marriage IN England.

DR.. Ogle has given some interesting
testimony before the royal labor com
mission in London as to the habit of
marriage in the upper and lower classes
of England. For instance out of 1000
miners 7O4 wed when they are under
%, and 1869 under 81, while in the pro-
fessional and independent classes the
corresponding proportions are Isl and
Z. OF miners wives 439 per 1000 marry
under 81, as against 1871 of the weather.
classes. Early marriages among the
poor mean large families, but this, ac-
cording to DIR. Ogle, is counterbalanced
partially by the enormous mortality
among the children. With view of
showing the relation between these
deaths and the drunken habits of lower
class English women the doctor said he
had found that of about 1000 children
