AN UNrREJUD1CED VIEW.
What sn Australian Newspaper Man
Found at Honolulu.


Found at Honolulu.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 90. Edmund
Mitchell, who Is on his way to Chicago
to represent at the worlds fair the Mel
bourne Age and other Australian
papers, arrived on the Monowai Friday.
He spent fifteen hours at Honolulu,
which he utilized in interviewing
prominent people. His views are inter-
esting, as he Is unprejudiced, and they
show that the natives and most of the
whites have no sentiment Of patriotism.
but are moved solely by commercial
considerations. Mitchell said:
Il tried to see the queen, but she re-
fused to be interviewed. She is in q
bitter mood and her spllenness is in.
tensified by the fact that she is left al.
most contemptuously alone by the revo.

her brother-in law, the queen vouch-
safed the information that she would be

apparent, Kaiulani
& "The first point that impressed me
after conversing with men of various
nationalities in Honolulu was the utter
absence of anything like patriotism.
The patriotism of the natiye leaders is
simply jealousy of the foreigners. These
leaders do not want annexation because
they know it will give them no fat per-
qnisites. The foreigners in Honolulu
were banded together by the
Patriotism Of the Dollar.

The Jury In the Case of Hugh O'Don-
nell Finds Him Innocent Of the
Charge OF Murder.
The Prisoner Overwhelmed with Con-
gratulations by His Friends I'm
the Court Room.
Application VIII Now Be Made for His
Release ON Bail, Pending Trial
on Other Charges.

PTTTsBURa, Feb. 20.-The jury in the
case Of Hugh O'Donnell charge with the
murder of Pinkertons at Homestead, has
brought in a verdict of not guilty.
Hugh O'Donnell's case was the third
tried on this charge, and the third ac-
quittal. Among attorneys 1t was felt
that the plea decided upon in O'Don-
nell's case was hazardous. The result.
however, has justified the oft-heard as
sertion that it would be almost impossi-
BILE to secure q conviction in any Of the
cases. The attendance at the court was
pot large. As soon as court was opened
the jury filed into their places.
O'Donnell Appeared Careworn.
and evidently had slept but little DUR

jury at the command of the court. Tho

drew long sigh OF relief, while his face

was quickly hushed and the jury dis

O'Donnell was permitted TO remain In

was then taken back to the Jail, pend.

week. O'Donnell must yet answer to
treason, riot and conspiracy. Bail was
once refused on the additional charge OF
murder pending.

POPE LEO KIN.

Constantine, who saw the political pres
tige of the papacy remain in the
shadows of the quirinal and the see of
Peter acknowledge submission to the
scepter of the Caesars.
Unlike his predecessor, who succeed
ed to the Vatican when the see Of Rome
ruled over the States of the Church,
and when the arms of France or those
of Austria guaranteed the rights of
temporal sovereign, Leo XIII, ascended
the papal throne when it was stripped
of much of it's ancient glory and was
but the shadow of it's former self. And
yet the papacg is today more influential
and more accepted among Christians
than ever before. He was born the son
of an Italian count, at Carpinetti, on
March 3, 1910. He began his academ-
ical studies at the Roman college, from
which he entered the Academy of Noble
Ecclesiastics at Rome. an institution
endowed by the Medicis. the Orisinis
and other noble families for the special
purpose Of educating ecclesiastics of
rank. He attracted the notice of
Gregory XVI, who made him pre-
late OF his household and a referee in
matters appertaining to ecclesiastic
discipline within the vatican. He
was later transferred to Perugia, Of
which place he was made bishop There
he made the acquaintance of the family
of the present apostolic delegate in
America, Mgr. Satolli. On Feb. 10,
1643, Gregory recalled him from Peru
gia and appointed him titular archbis-
hop Of Damietta. He was then only 50
years old, and was soon after made
papal nuncio at Brussels. There he
made the acquaintance Of the niece Of
King Leopold, the present queen
of England. On Jan. 10, 1849,
he was made cardinal in petto.
He became cardinal prince In january,
1853 In 1878, on the third ballot, he
was elected pope, Cardinal Franchii
throwing his votes to him.
Leading Acts OF His Reign.
The leading feature of his papal ca
reer are the settlement OF the sscultur-
kampf" in Germany, IA which he had
Bismarck to contend with. His attempt
to unite Eastern and Western churches
is still in allegiance. His Instructions to
Catholics of France to acknowledge the
republic strengthened him there. His
labor encyclical was another marked
event in bis life. His appointment Of
Archbishop Satolli as American able
gate In opposition to all the American
archbishops, except two, is the NEST re-
markable act of his eventful career.

Lapsed Into Quiet.
The city has lapsed into its usual
quiet. and nothing remains to indicate
that less than three days ago a bloody
conflict between the forces of the gov
ernor and the populace was imminent.
The last of the militia companies left at
an early hour for Clyde, Lawrence and
Holton. the three local provisional COM
panies were disbanded, and SO no troops
remain in service. The streets, too, are
cleared of the sheriff's hundreds of
deputies with their blue badges, guns
and bludgeons.
The Republican house convened in
representative hall at 10 o'clock, but the
members were in no mood for business.
While the roll was being called, word
came from the court room that Judge
Hazen had decided against the Populist
house ON the salary question, and the
announcement created considerable en-
thusiasm.

Mr.. C. E. Biddulph, in his Travels In
Persia and Transcaspia," gives curious
account of the great salt plains in the neigh
borhood of the Black mountains He says:
II obtained from thence one Of the most
peculiar sights 1t has ever been my fortune
to look on and that was IN immense sea OF
what leok ed like ice, but which was really
salt deposit, which entirely filed the hollow
in the plains toward the south and stretched
away as far as the eye could reach on either
side, glitteriug in the sun like sheet OF
glass / sat for hours looking at this strange
spectacle through my fieldglasses. and lis
tening to the tales OF my guides regarding
the peculiarities OF its composition and the
dangers to be encountered in traversing it.
According to their account. this vast de
post Of salt was of the consistency of ice,
and, like the latter, formed a coat OF vary
ing degrees Of thickness upon the surface OF
the water which was underneath it, so that
In places where the coat attained a thick
ness of several feet, M was the case In many
parts, laden mules aud camels could cross
this plain with perfect safety. while In
Others. where this is not the case. this crust
Of coagulated salt would break beneath

A few days ago a gentleman entered q
Liverpool telegraph office, and taking some
forms down filled them up as fast as he
could Having used all he had, be asked
for more and did likewise till those were
used mp. From the number he had filled
up and from his asking for more and more
and yet more the clerks naturally conclud-
ed that he was going to give them awhole-
o. order for stamps and monopolize the
wires for an hour or two.
At length this man of energy rose with
the bundle in his hands, and approaching
the clerk, asked him for sixpeuny stamp.
The clerk wished to know what all the 9th

them to FIX in the wording Of the message

Individual had wasted I48 forms in trying
to word message within the prescribed
value Of sixpence.
Thereupon the clerk demanded his name

The principal popularity Of the Hibiscus
mutabilis IL its habit Of completely chang
ing its color in the course OF the day. Its
beautiful flowers, generally double, are
white at the first opening in the morning
pink at noon and red at sunset before they
fade with a blush tinge at night. The
leaves somewhat resemble those Of the
vine and are roughish and variable in the
length of their points. The tree is native
Of China. Japan and various parts Of the
East Indies, where, as well as in the West
Indies, it is cultivated for the beauty Of its
flowers
The flower Lately discovered in the 18TH
mus of Tehuantepec is white In the morn
ing, red at noon and blue at night, and is
called the chameleon flower in default OF
any botanical name. IL is probably spe-
cies of the Hibiscus mutabilis. The colors
do not pass abruptly from one shade to the
other, but change gradually from the white
Of the morning to the pink and red and
thence TO the blue at night. The Tehuante-
pee tree grows to the size Of a guava tree
and gives out a slight perfume when the
flower Is OF red color.
Some other flowers change color, but not
daily, such as the forgetmenot, which Is
first yellow and then blue; the phlox.
which is first blue and then pink; the Chi
nese hydrangea. which is first green and
then rose color, and the Chievanthus muta-
bills, which changes from yellow toorange,
