Mr.. Davies in his statement reccites how
and when the princess was sent to England
and put under his protection in order to
prepare herself to assume the Hawaiian
throne. Continuing, Mr. Davies says:
"Her one idea, and our one dea has been to
prepare her for the return to her own land
during the present year. when she attains
her majority. One of the IL st acts of the
Hawaiian legislature was 10 vote a sum of

be the grave difficulties in the way of the
carrying out by the commissioners of the
proposal for annexation. ] stated that in
my opinion no amount Of reasoning and no
Hawaiian vote and that without that vote
annexation could neither be completed nor
carried out hereafter. then urged that a
convention of all classes Of voters should
be called, carefully revised constitution

be required to abdicate, and that the Prin

Delaying moment to enable the In
dian to make good his escape, the cap.
tain, with his heart beating fast and
furious, sprang lightly through the
slot found himself beside a magnificent
specimen of horsefesh ,vaulted on to his
back, piled the spurs, and with the
speed of whirlwind rushed from be-
tween the tents, through the cncamp-
understanding the Indian dogs
right and left as he galloped straight
for the river ford.
There was savage yell of astonish-
ment and alarm, a ringing shot, a
pack of bowling dogs swapping at the
mettlesome chargers heels, followed
by a few struggling rife shots, as the
startled braves sprang forth scarcely
realizing that their victim had eluded
their grasp.
In a trice the entire camp was arous.
ed; each tepee had been emptied of
it's occupants, while score of dusky
figures, bowling like demons, leaped
on their horses, started in hot pursuit
of the prisoner, who had disappeared
in the dark shadows Of the overhanging
hills.
Giving his steed the rein, he reached
the opposite side of the river unscathed.
Then for the first time, in the ex-
citement and hurry attending his
fight, the soldier noticed strapped to
the neck of the horse Winchester

assure him that it was ready for use

distancing the horde Of yelling pur-
suers. Across the sandy, level plain,
through sage brush and stinging net
ties, winding about the base OF out
lying hills, the captain pursued his
way, and ere daylight dawned, all
sound of pursuit had died away, leav-
ing the fugitive surrounded ythc val
leys and risings of the lofty mountain
range.
It was three days before he struck
familiar trail leading to Gomez Pass $;
and both horse and rider we're well

succeeded in gaining camp. 1t was
joyful reunion, for Ross had been
given up as dead by his compan-
ions, with whom he was deservedly
popular.
There was no time lost by the com.

How Savings Grow.

This incident, told in St. Louis
newspapers, shows how { small sum,
deposited where it will draw moder-
ate rate Of interest. will accumulate in
the course Of years. 1t ought to con-
vey' lesson to young persons who
think their savings arc too small to be
worth investing.
Some years ago a man entered the
Boatman's savings bank on Second
street in St. Louis with somewhat
different air, and looked inquiringly
about him, as one not quite positive
of his bearings. He scrutinized the
building closely, looked about the
interior, and presently found his way
to the cashiers desk.
"There used to be bank here in
the old times" he said, "called the
Boatmen' savings institution: [
suppose it is dead long ago. This
bank, of course, has nothing to do
with it.
"It's the same bank" replied the
cashier, "only the name is little
changed"
"Ah |" exclaimed the stranger,
with surprise. "Well, when the old
institution started, I was one Of the
first depositors; but l put in only one
hundred dollars. I reckon, after SO
many ups and downs, that it must
have been wiped out long ago. -
"Who are you p the cashier asked,
"and what is your name ?"
my name is Jefferies.
"Thomas Jeferies ?" cried the
cashier.

"Where have you been, Mr.. Jeferr.
les, these long years, and why haven
you written US ?"
"In Californy; and, Of course,
thought the one hundred dollars was
dead duck, and it's only your sign that
called ME in now.
"Well, Mr.. Jefferies, if you have
been idle" said the cashier, taking
down and opening a great folio, you,
one hundred dollars has not. Here it
is. Your check on this bank to-day is
good for seven thousand eight hun
drcd and seventy-fve dollars. You
have only to get some one to prove
your identity, and we will payit over.

Wanted to Change one Word.

Private John Allen, Of Mississippi,

other day, says a Washington CORE
spondent Of the Louisville Courier
Journal. 1t had been dragging along
for a good while in the lower tribunals
and when it was reached in the higher
body the opposing counsel presented q
brief history Of the cause so far as it
had gone. The Justices had listened
attentively to the lawyer, and when he
had finished Mr.. Allen was asked if
the opposing counsel had stated what
was strictly true.

Some time ago a sheriff of one Of the
counties in my State died. There was
another gentleman residing in the
county who thought he could fill the
official shoes of the deceased to a
nicety, so he proceeded to draw up a
recommendation in his owu behalf for
appointment to the vacancy and then
secured his neighbors signature to it..
He recited in the documcnthis numcr.

stated, among other things, that Mr.;

were all cvaporated and the basins
left dry, it has been computed that,
at the rate Of thirty-six cubic miles
per day (thc estimated flow Of all the
rivers in the world), it would occupy
35, 900 years to replace and create a
complete circuit of the whole of the
seas as they at present stand. But
this required IL further assumption,
namely, that the river would continue
to flow with their present capacity,
which would, in fact, be impossible
if the ocean bed were empty and dried
up. Ii such a thing happened the
river beds would soon follow suit and
be also empty, as the sea is their
great source Of water supply. 1t is
estimated that every year layer OF
the entire ocean fourteen feet thick is
taken up into the clouds and returns
to the earth in the shape of rain,
keeping it's springs and rivers supplied
with water. Stop this supply and the
rivers of the world would soon be
mere dribbles of water, which would
shorty and quickly disappear, render
ing it impossible for them ever again
to fill the sea to it's present extent.

nized in his patient an old schoolmate

"Yes," returned the doctor, "but it re-
quired thirty years experience to reach

He is very High, Indeed.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September AT
8 o'clock this afternoon the conduct OF
the case of China and the negotiations
over the exclusion law were officially
taken charge Of by Yang Yu, the now
Chinese minister, whose rank in his
country is so high that it is only four de-
grees below that of the emperor of the
celestial kingdom himself. The minister
presented his credentials at the hour
named and was formally recognized by
the latter as the diplomatic representative
of China to the United States. Yang Yu,
with four attendants of his legation, met
Secretary Gresham at the State Depart
ment by appointment, and few minutes
before 5 o'clock, the party, with the addi-
ton OF Assistant Secretary Adee, were
driven to the white house and ushered
into the blue room. The minister and
his attendants were attired in silk robes,
the blouses of black and skirts OF blue.
Each wore hat of red and black adorn-
cd with plumes of pure silk. Strung
around his waist the minister wore the
insignia of the ordinary of the eight
banners, while the other diplomats
wore minor decorations suitably append
cd. When Secretary Gresham had made
the presentations the minister made a
brief speech. The reply of the preside ent
was also brief. Both speeches abounded
in expressions of good will, personal and
official, and desire for future good rela-
tons between the two countries upon a
basis of comfy and regard for interna-
tional relations.

Rough on Rice Beer Men,

CoLuMu1A, s. c., Sept 4.-The bomb is
about to fall upon the rice beer dealers and
in few days the State constahulary Will
sweep down upon the places where this
beverage is offered for sale. Ever since the
dispensary law went into effect e1.saloons
all over the State have been selling the
so-called rice beer. Governor Tillman
put his constables to work and procured
numerous samples from dealers in all sec
tions and sent them to the State chemist
for analysis without letting the general
public into his scheme. This afternoon
Chemist Burnly submitted his report.
Thereupon the governor made the follow
ing remarks to the reporters
TT is nothing but lager in disguise. 1
shall at once instruct my constables, TO
arrest all parties selling rice beer, and to
arre.t the beer also. am going to indict
them at once, and the analysis will furnish
the proof. am tired of these doings, and
am not going to have this monkey busi-
ness any longer. All the samples analys.
