RuMoRs ABOUT BLouNT,
He Will Probably Be Instructed to
Make a New Treaty.

HubkC - ANSW
WAsHINGToN, May Io.-The Presi-
dent has appointed James H. Blount
of Georgia Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Ha-
waian Islands to succeed John L.
Stevens. Blount's commission bears
the date Of yesterday and it will be
sent to him by the next mail for Hon
olulu. 1t is understood that the change
was decided on at the Cabinet meeting
yesterday,
The report from Blount, mailed in
Honolulu during the last week in
April, came to Secretary Gresham
yesterday morning and was taken by
him to the cabinet meeting. Owing
to its confidential character the con-
tents were kept secret, but it is pre-.
sumed that it contains such information
that the President is determined to
loose no time in commissioning the
new Minister to succeed Mr.. Stevens
Now that Mr.. Blount's official
status has been changed from Com
missioner to Minister, there is naturally
great anxiety to know what will be the
next move in Hawaiian matters. The
officials of the State Department are
as mysterious as ever The only state
ment Secretary Gresham would make
to-day on the Hawaiian subject was
that Commissioner Blount had been
appointed Minister and instruc-
tons had gone to exMinister Stevens
directing him to turn over the lega-
ton to Mr.. Blount.
What the tenor of Blount's letter is
must remain a secret until such time
as the administration is willing to make
known its position in regard to Hawaii
That he is against annexation there can
be no doubt.
AS a result of Mr.. Blount's report, a
new set of instructions is being prepared
and will 60 out by the next mail
steamer.
1t is believed that the instructions
authorize him to negotiate treaty of
some kind which will insure American
supremacy in the Islands without inter
ference with internal affairs. Concern
ing the report that new commission is
coming from Hawaii to negotiate a
new treaty with the United States, it is
said at the State Department that it is
not at all probable, and whatever nego-
tiations may be conducted will be
through Minister Blount
1t is understood that Mr. Blounts
appointment is not permanent, but was
made expressly for the purpose of hav-
ing him conduct negotiations which will
determine the future relations of this
country with Hawaii. Mr.. Blount, his
friends say would probably not care to
accept this third. class mission under
any other conditions. Having served
as chairman of the House foreign affairs
committee it is not likely that he would
care to take subordinate place when
there are $4,000 missions around un.
less there are some special reasons.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
A Coming Marriage of Well, Known
Coast People.

There is at present a matrimonial
union on the tapis of no inconsiderable
interest to social, financial and political
circles, inasmuch as it promises to
unite great wealth and beauty to elo.
quence, genius and political proni
nence.
This means that Miss Emma Spreck-
els, the daughter of Claus Spreckels,
the wellknown capitalist and sugar
magnate, will in the near future be led
to the altar by Samuel NJ Shortridge,
the distinguished young orator, lawyer
and politician. When the wedding
will take place cannot yet be stated,
but when it does take place it will be
one of the notable events in the social
history of San Francisco
The bride, besides being a milionair-
ess in her own right, is member OF a
family known all over the country be-
cause of the great enterprises in which
the male members have achieved wealth
and prominence. The groom has made
high reputation for himself by his
forensic powers and his rapid rise al
the bar.
With the freshness of youth yet upon
him Mr., Shortridge has achieved such
prominence in the field of politics that
he is spoken of in cerain quarters as
likely to be one of the candidates fol-
the gubernatorial nomination on the
Republican ticket two years hence.
OF Miss Spreckels it is unnecessary
to speak, except to say that she is a
young lady who has been noted for hel
retiring manners, when she had every
opportunity to shine in society. She
has never manifested any desire to
make the social conquests that the
wealth and prominence of her family
easily placed within her reach. With
out being secluded in her habits, sht
has never shown any special fondnes
for gaining social triumphs. For thi
reason, her name has not frequently
been banded about in the society
gossip Of the day.
AS for Mr.. Shortridge, he owes hi
enviable position solely to his owl
talents and energy. Through his owl
unaided exertions he has risen, in
few years, to an elevation that few mer
reach after more difficult and longe
struggles. He is younger brother o
Charles M. Shortridge, editor anc
proprietor Of the San Jose Mercury
and Mrs. Clara S. Fotz, the we'll known
lady lawyer. He gained a State wild,
reputation in 1884, when very young, b,
making an exceptionally brilliant ant
effective canvass of the State for Jane
G. Blaine. Until then he was utterl,
unknown. Since then he has beef
conspicuous on the stump in ever,
campaign, and as a powerful advocat,
at the bar

How much a man is like his shoes;
For instance, both a soul may lose.
Both have been tanned; Both are mad
tight by Cobblers;
Both get left and right;
Both need mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need healing; oft are sold
And both in time will turn to mould.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out, they're mende
new;
When men wear out, they're men dea
too.
They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on others nothing 10th.
Both have their ties, and both incline
When polished, in the world to shine
And both peg out Now would yc
choose
To be a man, or be his shoes.

Where Pianos Arc Taxed.

Pianos are taxed in Elizabeth and some
folk know are very wrathy thereat. /
think that by taxing pianos Elizabeth
has placed itself in the very van of En-
lightment with the big E, for mark, aft
er all, it is not the instrument but the
player thereof that must pay the tax. If
the principle that warrants the tax is
faulty in any particular, it is in the fact
that the tax is not graded according to
the skill or want of skill of the player.
Had my way would tax certain pianos
in this city $100 year, and there are
others that I would report to the board
Of health as nuisances that cried to
heaven for abatement. II Paderewsld
would come to town with piano or t.
play on an instrument already here, !
would exempt it from taxation.
I bless without mental reservation
that law giver whose wisdom devised
the tax upon pianos. He should have a
monument beside which the figure of
Liberty in the bay would be but a
pygmy. He has perhaps the maledic-
tions of half the piano torturers in
town, but "I honor him for the enc
mics he has made" for the pianists he
has suppressed. I contend, however,
that the tax should be assessed not ac-
cording to the value Of the instrument,
but according to the skill of the player.
The method suggest would be most
equitable, it seems to me, and would go
far toward meeting all the expenses of
the city government. nt.-Elizabeth N.J. }

Memories of 1871.

On the last week in May each year the
French socialists are accustomed to cell
ebrate the "bloody week." which wit
messed the downfall of the Paris COM
mune in 1871, the killing of 25, 900 of the
inhabitants and the exiling of $4,000
others. AS early as 1880, under the load
ership of Gambetta and the moderate
Republicans, general amnesty was
voted, with onlv five or six exceptions,
to the participants of the commune. 1t
is significant also that many of the mu-
nicipal regulations which tho commu-
nists demanded were afterward granted
by the chamber of deputies.
"Bloody week" began on Sunday, May
81, when the Versailles troops entered
Paris by breach in the fortifcation
wall which the national guards had neg
lected to defend. They came in by the
Bois de Boulogne, and terrible street
fights continued daily until on the fol-
lowing Sunday, May 2S, Marshal Nc
Mahon was in full possession of the city
and declared the commune at an end.
On May 23 the Versailles troops cap
tured the Central Market halls and
threatened General Bergeret, who was
stationed at the Tuileries. He was
forced to retire, blowing up and burning
the Tuileries as he left, but managed to
save the Louvre, which some of his fol-
lowers wished also to destroy. The
fighting was mostly done by national
guardsmen against heavy odds and re-
suited in fearful slaughter; hence the
week has obtained its snaine.-New York
