BORN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Little Ones who First Opened Their
Eyes in the Old Mansion. fa'
From the Washington Post.

just as President Cleveland was the
first chief executive to be married in the
white house, so, too, is the baby upon
whom the whole nation smiles lovingly
to-day the first child of a President to be
born under it's roof. The record of births
in che old mansion is shorter than the
list of the marriages, and, sad enough,
doubling them both would not cover the
number of deaths and funerals there OF
the babies who first saw the light of day
in the old house, and if they lived the
world has not forgotten under what a
lucky star they made their debut, prOba-
bly, only two are living until this happy
event added another.
One is Mrs Mary Emily Donelson-Wil-
cox, a daughter of Andrew Donelsou,
nephew of President jackson and the pri-
vate secretary and confidential adviser of
"Old Hickory during his entire official
life, and the other is Julia Dent Grant,
the first child born to Colonel and Mrs
Fred Grant and now a young lady just
past sweet sixteen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Donelson had two other
children born in the white house, which
with grandchild of President jefferson
and another of President Tyler, complete

sions. Mrs. Wilcox has said of the event
of which she was the smallest but at the
same time the most important person
age:
Both houses were invited and for
few minutes ! was of more Importance
than any of the great'diplomats, iurists or
statesmen at the capital Over near the
big window of the east room the ceremony
was performed, Uncle Jackson holding me
in his arms and Martin Van Buren, stand
ing as godfather, while Miss Cora Living
stOn, daughter of the Secretary of State
and the reigning belle and beauty of that
administration, took upon herself the
responsibility of godmother. | was said
to have behaved very well during the
ceremony
When Miss Julia Dent Grant was chris
tened the company invited by President
and Mrs. Grant assembled in the blue
room, where the ceremony occurred.
The last christening to take place in the
blue room was during the first part of
President Harrison's term, when his
granddaughter, Mary Lodge Mckee, was
baptized with water from the River Jor-
dan, and the clergyman officiating was
the baby's grandfather, the venerable
DIR. Scott. The presence of four genera
tions of the family made notable gath
ering, and probably one never before seen
al the white house.

Robert Grau's recent experiences recall to
the New York Advertiser, the following
story:
He was plotting in his usual impetuous
style a comic opera company up in New Eng
land somewhere, and by chance encountered
a friend who visited his show. But, BOB,
he demonstrated afterward, why do you have
twenty-six men in the chorus and only five
girls"' Bob looked into his beard and
chuckled sadly.
well, you see, those twenty-six men don't
cost me anything" They ought not to, -
said the friend for they are awful hay
seeds" Yes, muttered Bob, "hayseed S

got into several and various fiscal difficulties
en- route and-but don't whisper this to any
one-those twenty-six men are all landlords
and creditors See? They joined the troupe
so as to collect their bills and to prevent my
defaulting. AS If I ever defalcated in my life
Bob's voice grew strident with emotion.
Every night my box office receipts are
seized upon by these hungry, gOat-bearded
yankees. 1 pay the principals Of the company
in checks. just listen to the farmers; they
are disputing about tO-night's money now"
A roar, as if from a cage Of wild beasts, pune
tured the Sabbath stiffness Of the Puritan
village, and Bob's friend fed into the gloom
greatly adrighted.

the Nassau-and as an English captain
recently raised the flag of Great Britain
on the islands, he has laid his claim be-
fore the state department at Washington.
The two islands combined are about the
size of Druid Hill Park in Baltimore, and
are about a thousand miles apart. The
islands are covered with cocoanut trees,
fruit trees and valuable deposits of gu
ano. Mr. Moors is merchant at Apia,
and Robert Lewis Stevenson, the novel
ist, is one of his neighbors. The inhab-
itants of the Plaisance village will be
taken back to the South Sea island upon
the close of the fair, unless 1t be decided
to remain during the midwinter exposi-
ton in California.
In the anthropological building there IS
an exhibit from the South Sea Islands in
Guiding various articles used by the ma
tives and a large mum Der of photographs
of natives, which strike the visitor more
like the South Sea Islands which he
would like to see, being far nearer to the

ney from San Francisco, is a desirable
place for persons Of means, but not for
others, as labor is very cheap.

A Long Swim

The steamer Waialeale while
of the cost of Maui last. Friday
morning, on her way to Hawaii,
ran a cross a couple of South
Sea Islanders-a man and a
woman-swimming for shore,
they being at that time about
three miles off. Captain Smyth
stopped the steamer and picked
up the water God and the
mermaid. After being on
board a few minutes, the occu-
pants of the sea, stated their
experience. 1t seems that they
had left Lshaina in a canoe on
Thursday. to go on fishing
exclusion, intending to return the
meet morning. Soon after leaving
the shore, the canoe which was
under sail and sailing along at
lively rate with strong breeze.
suddenly eapsized. After sever
al attempts to right the canoe
without success, and finding
themselves being carried further
to sea, they concluded to do the
swimming act. While perform
ing the steamer came along.
They say that they were in the
water nine hours.

The match between the Homo

resulted in decided victory for
the Champions. The Honolulus
were not strong enough for the
naval team which especially ex-
celled in their bowling and
wicket-keeping. The score was
T6 to 40. The Honolulus hope
to do much better at the return
match which is expected to come
off in a near future. bat they will
have to do some serious practis-
ing if they expect to get even
with the merry sailors.

still in that capacity they were
not entitled to our protection.
Had the lives and property of
our citizens domiciled there been
IN danger the case would be
different. That they were not
is proved by the fact that our
marines did not go in the quarter
wlere our citizens lived or en-
gagged In business. but direct to
the Government Building. L
feel certain that had these facts
been known to the last Admin
istration, President Harrison
would have hesitated long before
indorsing Minister Stevens act.
The point is made that one
administration cannot upset the
act of a preceding one. 1t must
be remembered that beyond re-
cognizing de faeto government,
an act always done for
the protection of the inter
ests of a foreign power, and in no
way to be construed as acknow-
Lodging the legality of the Govern
ment, nothing else was effected.
There was an attempt to rush
through in the closing weeks of the
Administration the ratification of
proposed treaty which acknow-
ledged the right of the Provisional
Government to treat with us as to
the annexation of the islands. but
this was never acquiesced in by the
Senate, and thus no contract was
ever finally entered into that
bound US as nation to uphold the
acts of the persons attempting to
treat with US, nor those of our Mi
mister in landing marines and
making it possible for them to set
aside the established order of
things.
The proposed treaty being unra-
tilted when President Cleveland took
office, it was an unsettled question,
and if ne thought it necessary to
ascertain with calmness and deli
beration the true facts which his
predecessor was denied, owing to
the pressure and haste used by the
interested parties, he but perform
ed worthy act. This cannot be
interpreted as impugning the mo-
tives of ex-Presldent Harrison.
"If we have been guilty of a
wrong We should proceed to correct
it as far as possible by withdraw
ing from field in which we have
reaped no laureis. Let Hawaiians
by themselves, without the inter-
vention of any foreign influence,
determine what form of Govern
ment they desire. Let them of
their own free will make such ap-
peals to US as they chose, without
the presence of our marines IN their
Government house or our Minis
ters hobnobbing with would-be Re-
volutionists. Then we will be
ready to consider a free offering
with honor to ourselves. / believe
in annexing the islands under
suitable plan of government. but

Congressman Caminetti In
dorses the Presidents
Policy.

Sacramento, Nov. 15.-Cong-
ressman Caminetti arrived in
Sacramento tonight, and on
being interviewed by the Eram-
iaer correspondent he said: The
President S policy on the Hawai-
ian question, while a source of
disappointment in some quarters,
and the subject of criticism in
others, will, when all the facts
are considered, stand the test
prescribed by equity and the
principles of international law.
Further, it will command the
respect of all those who are not
ready to see this country become
a freebooter among the nations.
To properly judge the matter we
should put Hawaii in the position
of a nation with power and in
tluence equal to our own, and
then ask the question; What
would have been our coursel In
that event, would a person of
ordinary understanding say that
we would then have dared to take
the course pursued by our Gov
ernment? A nation has no right
upon the territory of another
except by permission of the
regularly constituted government,
or In certain cases to protect the
lives and property of its citizens
when in jeopardy.
1t is said that our marines
were landed at the request of the
Provisional Government. The
evidence shows that this request
was made before the proclamation
announcing its establishment was
promulgated 1t sets forth that
the control of certain government
buildings was lacking, and de-
sired that an American naval
officer with marines be placed in
charge of the provisional troops.
1t also shows that our Minister
recognized the Provisional Gov
ernment before it was ever a gov
ernment de facto.
These acts had the effect of in
timidating the officers and people
of a friendly nation with which
we were at peace. and it is claim
ed was sufficient to transfer by
means thereof the control of the
country from the then esta blished
government to the so-called Pro-
yisional Government.
These acts were followed by
the hosting of our flag on the
Government Buildings and the
quartering of our marines there
in. thus sustaining with our
power the Provisional Govern
ment. while the representatives
of the authority deposed retired
under protest without force of
arms. In fact, it can be said
that we established the Pro-
visional Government.
No warrant can be found for
such action in the laws of Nations
nor in the treaty between the
islands and ourselves, but it was
claimed by our Minister that he
landed the marines TO protect
American interests. What Amer
lean interests were in jeopardy
has not haen Shouu Will AZ.
