FLAG COMES DOWN.
NO STARS AND STRIPES WAVE
OVER HAWAII

They Are Pulled Down Upon Orders
From Commissioner Blount and the
Hawaiian Flag Hoisted in Their
Place.
HoNoLuLu, April 14.-Commissione
Blounts arrival was wet blanket for
the provisional government, but his
procedure has paralyzed the leaders as
we'll as Minister Stevens. BY Blount's
orders the American flag wss hauled
down and the protectorate dissolved.
This event took place April /, and was
marked by brief and simple ceremony.
On his arrival here the United States
commissioner held two audiences with
the provisional government, at the first
of which Blount presented a letter from
President Cleveland introducing the
envoy and defining his duties. At the
second audience, held alone with Presi-
dent Dole, Blount said that the follow
ing day he should
Lower the American Flag,
break up Camp Bouton, send the Ameri-
| can sea1nen back to the vessels and de-
clare the protectorate ended. His
reason was that he wanted to put the
provisional government on plane of
independence SO that in his dealings
with 1t there should be no i1nputation
of coercion. The provisional leaders
were badly surprised but they spent the
| night in drilling their troops and pre-
pairing for any uprising that might fol-
low the withdrawal of the marines. The
streets were full OF rulnors that Blount
proposed to restore the queen and these
! wild tales created intense excitement
among the natives. The morning Of
April /, a great crowd assembled in
front Of the government buildings. The
full force Of the provisional army was
gathered. At the command Of Blount
bugler gave the signal and the
American Colors Came Down.
The descent of the flag was watched in
deep silence. Then the Hawaiian flag
was hoisted. 1t received no cheers, for
| every one knew it was not the new gov
ernment desired. B.ount on April
had conference with the provisional
leaders at which he assured them that
neither Japan or any other power
| would be permitted to land troops to
menace the government. Since then
there has been considerable excitement,
but nothing has occurred to disturb the
peace. The provisional troops are
amply sufficient to guard against any
attempts Of the Hawaiians to upset the
government. It was remarked by many
with surprise that no demonstration of
any kind had been made when the Ha-
waiian flag was raised. 1t was after
wards ascertained that the queen had
requested some Of her people to instruct
the natives to make no outbursts on the
occasion. 3.

An Earthquake Nearly Destroys the

ATHENS, April 17.-The island Of
Zante, one Of the principal Ionian
islands, was visited by most destruc-
tive earthquake, resulting in great loss
of life and property. The shock appears
to have been most violent in the city of
Zante, the greater part Of which was
destroyed. The streets are impossible,
being filled with masses Of stone and
timber. the wreckage of the houses
which were thrown down by the earth
quake.
Thus far the bodies of 20 persons
killed by falling walls have been re-
moved from the debris, and it is feared
that many more dead are still in the
ruins. The number of persons injured
runs up in the hundreds.

No Action Taken Oh the Charges
Against Senator Roach.
WASHINGTON, April lG.-The extraor-
dinary session Of the senate, after rum
ming exactly six weeks, closed Saturday
night. The proposed investigation of
the charges against Senator Roach of
North Dakota formed the chief topic Of

were made upon 1.-TWO of them by the
Republican senators from Connecticut,
Messrs. Platt and Hawley, in afirma-
tion Of the right and dNey of the senate
to make investigation, and the other by
Mr.. Mills in distinct denial of either the
right or duty. Allied to the same sub
ject, though figuring under the guise Of
question of personal privilege, were
remarks by Mr.. Chandler, Mr.. Voor-
hees and Mr.. Hansbrough. No DISPOSE
ton was made either of the matter or
of the question as to the admission Of
the three appointed senators from Mon

Canal to Connect Duluth, Twin Cities
and Wheat Fields.

and Wheat Fields.
DULUTH. April 1s.-The Minnesota
Canal company, which fled articles Of
incorporation in St. Paul Saturday, and
in Duluth Monday, have surprised the
people Of this city by introducing an or
dinance in the council asking permis-
sion to lay water pipe through the diff
ferent streets of Duluth. It is not the
present intention OF the company to dig
canal between Duluth and the Twin
Cities, but rather to build canal from
the St. Louis river, near Cloquet, in q
northeasterly direction until it reaches
the hills back of Duluth, the length of
the canal to he 25 miles. The company
will also
Dredge the st. Louis River
and make it navigable far above Clo-
quet. OF course the object of building
a canal to the hill above Duluth and es-
tablishing reservoirs there is to furnish
water to the city. not only for fire pro-
lection, but also for manufacturing pur-
poses. 1t is gigantic scheme, and one
that appears to be feasible. Henry
Curtis Spaulding, president of the COM
pany, said that he was obliged to as
sumo reticcnce in the matter for the
present, but admitted that the ultimate
plan of the company was to extend its
canal system throughout the state, con-
Meeting Duluth with several important
points, including st. Paul and Mime
apolis and the
Wheat Fields of the Northwest.
He claims to have unlimited capital at
his disposal. The estimated cost of
power for Duluth manufacturers is SIG
per horse power per annum. Steam
power costs sa5 TO $40. There will be a
dam 500 feet long built in the st. Louis
river just below where tile canal begins.
The reservoirs at tile top of the hill
will be over 900 feet above thecity. The
cost of improving in this way the
waters Of st. Louis county Is estimated
at $6, ,G00,0U0 Large manufacturing es-
tablishments will bs established along
the shores of the canal, which will be
120 feet wide and 20 feet Deep

BELGIAN STRIKE FOR THE BAL
LOT SUCCESSFUL.

The Fear of General Uprising
Causes Lawmakers to Take Favor
able Action on the Demands for q
Revision of the Constitution-Strik-
ers Will Return to Work.
BRUSSELS, April 19.-The chamber Of
representatives, reassembled after the
preparation of the reports on the revis-
ion Of the constitution and by vote Of
119 against IL, with IA abstentions from
voting, adopted universal suffrage, with
a provision for plural voting by the
classes owning property, according to
the amount and situation of the prop
erty. Cheers within the chamber vera
followed by prodigious acclamations
from the enormous crowd that awaited
the result of the voting outside the
chamber. The greatest enthusiasm was
displayed everywhere, and the people
Joined i'll Jubilee
in honor of the great triumph which
they had achieved. 1t is expected that
the decision in favor of universal suff-
rage will have an allaying effect upon
the popular excitement and agitation
which had been rapidly assuming the
dimensions of q general insurrection.
The dread of terrible uprising of the
people, similar to that Of tho French
revolution in its resistless rage against
privilege and power, had the effect Of
bringing the chamber of representatives
around to the popular side. There is
no doubt in many minds that had the
chamber not acted promptly there
would have been revolution in Brus-
sells.
At meetings of the strikers in and
around Ghent and Mons, resolutions to
return to work were passed. Two men
injured in the Mons riot died during
the evening. In all seven men have
died in Mons from injuries received in
the suffrage riots.

Value of Good Cooking.

We masculines have yet to learn that
the kitchen is the most important end Of
the household. If that goes wrong, the
whole establishment is wrong. It de-
cides the health Of the household, and
health settles almost everything. Heavy
bread, too great frequency Of plum pud-
ding, mingling Of lemonade and Gus
tards, unmasticable beef, have decided
the fate of sermons, legislative bills and
destiny Of empires. The kitchen knife
has often cut off the brightest prospects.
The kitchen gridiron has often consumed
q commercial enterprise. The kitchen
kettle has kept many good man in hot
water. It will never be fully known
how much the history Of the world was
affected by good or bad cookery. Mash

The Original Wedding Cake.

The Original Wedding Cake.
Our wedding cake is the remains Of q
custom whereby Roman bride held in
her left hand three wheat ears, and many
centuries later an English bride wore on
her head chaplet of wheat. The at
tendant girls threw corn, either in grains
or in small bits of biscuit or cake, upon
the heads of the newly married couple,
and the guests picked up the pieces and
ate them. Such was the beginning of
the wedding cake, which did not come
into general use until the eighteenth
century and was then composed of solid
blocks, laid together and iced all over
with sugar, SO that when the outer crust
was broken over the brides head the
cakes inside fell on the floor, and they
were then distributed among the COM
pany.-New York Sun.

Water Started These Two Fires,

W8C0r SC8TC0O x0e80 Two Fires
No principle of natural philosophy is
more familiar than the power of water
to extinguish fire. And yet. strange to
say, water has been known to cause de-
structive fires, not by an accident, but
by direct chemical action. One case Of
the kind was in a large factory. A flood
caused the water to rise to pile of iron
filings, which oxidized so rapidly that
they developed great heat and set fire
to the nearby woodwork. The building
was entirely destroyed.
Another case is still more remarkable.
Several engines were throwing water
upon burning building, and the water
found its way to another building,
which contained quicklime. The
shaking Of the lime, caused Of course
by the contact of the water, generated
intense heat, and the heat set fire to the
building. That was q sarcasm of cir
cumstances, wasn't Philadelphia
