OUR BABY.

Our darling babe has left us,
He's gone to heaven to rest;
We know that God has taken him,
Because he thought twas best.
Bnt still it is heart breaking,
To think he had to go,
And leave his father and mother
To mourn for him below.
And we intend to meet him
In that bright world above,
To rest with him forever
In Gods own blessed love.

Two CHILDREN ACCIDENTALLY BURNED
Two girls, aged six and twelve years, were
badly burned by the younger one playing
with box of matches before the fire in the
home of James Westcott, in the second dis
trict. Their parents had gone to church,
The clothing Of the younger child, Annie,
took fire, and the elder girl, Jennie, who was
lying half asleep on the bed in the same room,
went to her relief and was also set on fire
Jennie, how ever, had presence OF mind
enough to run to the bed and get heavy
blanket, which she wrapped around herself
and smothered the flames. Then she did the
same for the younger child, managing with
great difficulty to put the fire out and pre-
vent its spreading to the furniture in the
room. Annie was very badly burned about
the lower part of the body. The elder girl
was not so badly injured.

PARIS, May 12.-Sir Charles Russell con-
tinued his address in behalf Of the British
case before the BerinR sea tribunal of arbi-
tration to-day. Sir Charles discussed the
rights Of Russia in BsrinR sea under the
treaties between Russia and the United
States and between Russia and Great
Britain. Sir Charles contended that the
treaties in question recognized merely ter
ritorial rights. Sir Charles next referred TO
the forged Interpolation In the American
case as originally presented and argued.
When the forgeries were extracted from the
case nothing remained. American Agent
John w. Foster explained that the con-
tents of tho documents were unknown until
the American CASE was prepared. Az soon
as the forgery was discove. ed the docu-
ments were Withdrawn.
Sir Charles replied that while the doeu-
ments were withdrawn. the formal case de-
pending ON the documents were not mate
rally changed. Hon. E. ]. Phelps. Of
American consul, Hetorted that the Ameli'
can case had been restated In the counter
case. The discussion was of an acrid char
aoter. The pHooeedinRs since Sir Charlel
began have been characterized by more

FROM HAWA

flow Affairs Arc Progressing On thS
Islands.
SAN FRANoIsco. May 12.-Advices TO the
Associated press from Hawaii by steamer ar
rived this evening. up to May 4. are to the
effeot that the Hawaiian republic PROPOSE
tion is in statu quo, The projeeto:s having
concluded to wait to see how the United
States acts. Spreokles' boom for the re-
public is all quiet. planters not taking
kindly to it. The patriotic league held q
largely attended meeting at which speeohes
favoring Hawaiian autonomy. the restora-
tion OF the monarchy, etc.. were mtde and
. committee appointed which later pre-
sented memorial on the subject to Com
missioner Blount.
A delegation from the Maui annexation
club called on Blount May l to assure him
that annexation sentiment is growing IN
favor among natives as we'll as foreigners
on the island of Maui. When tho com mis-
sioner asked If. in the event OF annexation,
the natives would expect to become voters.
tho chairman replied in tho affirmative.
The advisory council, headed BY Vice
President Damon, also called on Commits
sioner Blount. Replying to their address
he said he came to examine into the STATE
Of the country and must therefore confne
himself to his duty He had. OF necessity,
interviewed great many people ana ac-
oumulated great deal OF lnloSmauoh' Do'
as yet had not gone very deeply inso ssA-
tistios. etc. This he intended TO accom-
plish later on.
Natives of the other islands are excesd-
| inply desirous that Blount should pay them
visit and it 10 not to be questioned thai
his reception would exceed that given any
personsRs except the queen. Blouns hn'
expressed different ideas a. to the trip. 10

islauds. I have taken considerable respon
sibility upon myself in lowering the Amer

The situation here may be summed NJ
thus: The provisional government believe
itself strong enough to quell any intorns
disturbance and maintain itself in author
ity. The minister of finance states tha
means for carrying on the government ar
ample, and annexation sentiment quiesl
strsnethening. But delay in settlement Q
the question is having a telling effect o
business interests that desire TO expand
