the British Admiralty will class
their vessels for the navy as mer-

CURES. Therein the company is
likely to be disappointed. There
have been loud complaints of late
against the whole policy of subsi-
dizing merchant steamers upon
condition that they are available
in war time. 1t subjects fleets not
subsidized to a cruel competition
taxes them in fact for their rivals.
Already there is enough of this in
England. During war time there
would be no difficulty in chartering
hundreds of merchant steamers at
low rates. This kind of subsidy is
pronounced a job by the British.

He Expresses Confidence In the
Restoration of the Queen.

VANCOUVER, 3. c., October s.
Theo. III. Davies, ex-British consul
at Hawaii and guardian of Princess
Kaiulani, arrived this evening and
goes by way of San Francisco to
Honolulu. He anticipates some
change in the government there,
and being on the scene will have a
hand in what political movements
take place. He expects that the
queen will be restored eventually,
and for that reason that the prin-
cess will not he introduced into the
Hawaiian political arena.
She attains her majority October
18th, and will then be Is years of
age. It was intended that she
should visit the islands on that &C.
casion, and the royal government
passed a vote for the expenses of
her trip and commemorative festi-
vities, but the establishment of the
Provisional government put that
out of the question, and the prin-
cess goes to Germany to learn that
language and music.

ADMIRAL GEORGE BROWN
he IS Now in Command of n
Navy Yard.


Commodore George Brown, who
has been promoted to rear-admiral
by President Cleveland, is now in
command of the Norfolk navy
yard. He is a native of Indiana
and was appointed to the naval
academy from that state. He
served through the war with dis.
tlnction. He was at Valparaiso at
the breakout of the Balmaceda rev.
olution.
Admiral Brown has seen a vast
deal of service in the Pacific. He
was IN command of the vessels in
Hawaiian waters for a considerable
period and was on friendly terms
with ex-queen Liliuokalani. It will
be recalled that it was through
Admiral Browns efforts that the
United States was granted by the
queens government the use of
Pearl river harbor as a naval coal
ing station.
Admiral Brown favors the estab-
lishment of a protectorate over the
Hawaiian islands, believing, as he
does, that the natives are incapable
OF self-government. His promotion
meets with a great deal of favor
among naval officers. Brown is a
democrat, but Notwithstanding this
10 a very intimate friend of ex-
President Harrison. Harrison ap-
pointed his son to the naval acad-
emy.-S. F. Chronicle.

The Passion Flower.

A great many lovers of flowers who
have not made botanical lore and legend
q study often ask themselves or some
friend why the passion flower" is so
called, and not one time in a dozen is the
correct answer given. 1t was so named
by the first Spanish settlers in the new
world because they imagined that they
saw in 1t a representation of our Lord's s
passion. The filamentous processes are
taken to represent the crown of thorns;
the styles, the nails used in fastening
the Saviour to the cross; the anthers, the
marks Of the five wounds; the leaf. the
spear that pierced his side; the tendrils,
the cords or whips with which he was
scourged; the column of the ovary, the
upright of the cross; the stamens, the
hammers; the calyx, the "glory' or haso;
the white tint, purity; the blue tint:
heaven.
Calvary clover" is still more won
derful representation of the crucifxion.
In that flower persons of vivid imagina-
tion can see in the meanderings of the
colors Of the petals the outlines of a
cross with the figure of man stretched
prone upon it.-St. Louis Republic.
