Events that happened at the State
Department to-day show that Mr..
Blount's friends have not been mis-
taken IN the estimate that they have
placed upon his ability, and they
show, moreover, the talent for diplo-
macy possessed by Mr.. Cleyeland's
Secretary of State. For Mr.. Blount
dld convey more TO the State Depart
ment by the Australia than the mere
information OF his own safe arrival in
Honolulu. He conveyed SO much that
the President aud his chief of Cabinet
have been considerably worried lest
their policy of delay should have been
a mistake after all, and that there
have been several anxious consulta-
lions in the White House relative to
the rectification of the error now gen.
orally believed to have been COM
mitted when the treaty of annexation
negotiated by Secretary Foster was
withdrawn by the present admins
tration.
What is the nature OF this advice
conveyed by Commissioner Blount to
his chief? So far, that is a secret
known only in the White House and
in the State Department. 1t is quite
clear that Commissioner Blount has
seen something to alarm him In the
quiet that broodS over Waikiki. and
that this something has been sufficient
also to justify alarming the men who
sent him out. What it is, of course,
can only be eonjectured, but gossip
here has it that it is menace that
England viii back Japan in case the
Mikado sees fit to step in and take
what Mr.. Cleveland has all but thrown
away.
Whether that be true or whether it
be not it is quite clear that President
Cleveland does not intend to let his
desire to pose as a man of superb JUS
tice interfere with his greater desire
to placate Eastern public sentiment,
now so strong and growing stronger
for annexation. For to-day it can be
stated upon authority of the very
highest that orders were sent by tele-
graph to Admiral Irwin, in command
of the navy-yard at Mare Island, to
have the Adams made ready for sea,
and to order her captain to proceed to
Honolulu at once and re-enforce the
Boston. The orders were imperative,
it is said, and the Adams is to go at
the earliest possible moment.
It is evident from this that President
Cleveland does not intend that the ISL
ands shall get away from him, and it
is evident also that Commissioner
Blount has gone to Hawaii with the
fullest possible powers and that he has
also begun to exercise them.

WASHINGTON, April s. President
Cleveland means to annex the Ha-
waiian Islands. There seems now to
be but little doubt that the mind OF
the executive has at last been made
up to this, or, IL he does not mean to
add the dominions of the late Queen
to the territory of the United States,
he at least proposes TO see that no
other power steps in and plucks the
pear that has all but fallen into the
lap of Uncle Sam.
When the first news was received
here of the arrival of Commissioner
Blount at Honolulu it was said at the
State Department by no less person
than Secretary Walter @. Gresham
that the articles forwarded by the spe-
eiai Commissioner were of no mo-
ment whatever, merely being to the
effect that Mr.. Blount had reached
the scene of his labor and had been
well received by the Hawaiians.
There was really no time,n said
secretary Gresham to those who in
terrogated him upon the subject, "for
MI. Blount to ascertain anything Of
value TO the department in the brief
space elapsing between the arrival of
the Rush and the sailing of the Aus
tralla for San Francisco
Secretary Gresham is new in diplo-
macy, but it is quite clear that he is
an apt pupil in the science, as the
science Of diplomacy consists in tell
ing nothing in way that will lead
the person informed to believe that
you have really told him all that you

A GOOD IDEA.

The Duluth & Winnepeg r. Il. is COM
pleted to Grand Rapids, fin Minn. 1t is
said that the company intend building a
line from that point southwest around the
southern shore of Leach Lake, thence west
through the timber belt of Mlnn., and the
wheat regions of North Dakota. Mr.. Il. G.
Anderson points out the feasibility of a
line entering the state east OF Hillsboro
md continuing west until it stacks that
town, then following the Goose river to
Mayville, Portland. thence west through
Steele, Griggs, Foster, Wells and Mclean
counties to Washburn or Stanton on the
Missouri river. Such line would, with
little variation, take in six county seats
and pass through the very best wheat pro-
ducing and grazing portions of the state
Mr.. Anderson suggests that 1T might be
we'll for the citizens in the county seats
and other towns along such proposed route
organize and corporate i'll an effort to
secure such rCad.-Steele Co. Tribune.

A REAL GHOST.

All of the Northern Pacific railroad boys
are we'll acquainted with the ghost That
walks monthly, about the Goth, and this
''ghost walk" is welcomed by all. But
who ever heard of a ghost walking before
the 10Th? Yet they do say the past few
days, or nights, ghosly forms with all the
necessary spiritual manifestations may
lave been seen at tho sixth crossing of
Heart river. A year ago young bride
was drowned Ill the Heart river at the
railroad crossing, and it is her apperition
that is causing the superstitious railroad
ers to quake and strain their nerves when
approaching tho sixth GRO sing. Her
ghostship, it is said, has becn distinct y
seen by no less than four crews at differ
ent times. Her last appearance was ON
Wednesday night, when the heaIless form
of a woman was distinctly en- by three
men on the engine as it walked i'll ghostiy
whiteness along the footboard of the en-
sine to the cab window, upon which sever
ghostly taps were made. These men are
not towards, and opened the window for
investigation, when the form disappeared
and no trace of its Visitation remained.
While some say the Imagination has full
play in creating this ghost, those who have
seen it stoutIy claim it's actual existence,
and are anxious to give the scoffer who
claimed he could go to sleep looking at it
Il chance to prove his bravery.-Dickinson

The South Dakota papers arc bOnsting
that an Immense tide of immi ration is
pouring into that state from Iowa and
linois. The farmers in the older states
are selling their land at $50 to 500 per
,cre and coming west to purchase the
chea rich lands before they are exhaust d.
North Dakota is also protitng from thi;
sort of immigration from the older states,
although the rush up here for the current
year has hardly begun yet. Still, our
bankers and real estate mon are reporting
large inquiries. The early settlers of
Indiana. Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and
southern Minnesota, who haye grown rich
from the advance in farming lands which
they bought for a mere song, realize that
tn. same Cpport nifty now offers in the
Dakotas, and SO they are coming them
selves or sending their sous, now grown to
manhood. This generation will doubtless
witness the occpation of all the cheap
lands that are really good. There is no
hrtJcr time to come to the Dakotas than
this present year of our Lord.--A:gus.

The following is an extract from Col.
Lounsberry's letter to the North Dakota
Independents: "Whie there were honest
aud true men both among the Democrats
and Republicans in the legislature, it must
be confessed that the best and truest
workers for the public good were among
the Populists, and even at the risk of be-
ing criticised by my party associates, I'll
not hesitate to say that the Populists, al
most without exception, were honest and
earnest workers for the public good, cham
pionlng earnestly whatever seemed to he
just and right and from a since desire to
serve the public good. A dozen men equal
to Mr.. Ueland, of LaMoure county, in the
legislature would revolutionize the political
affairs of the state. There were others
equally earnest but with more prejudice
in their make up.

ONE lunatic who is not harm

is George McNoun, late OF the To-
peka Insane Asylum. He has es-
capped from custody, and, armed with
a full line Of revolvers, knives, razors,
bottles of kerosene, and other imple-
ments of destruction, he is spreading
terror throughout Shawnee County.
McNoun is dangerous, Of course, but
he is not half SO deadly as the harm

at by every one until he finally Sc
lects victim and kills him. Every
one is on the lookout for cranks OF
the McNoun type. No one is safe
against those like Prendergast unless
they are summary locked up the
moment they begin to jabber crazy
threats and nonsense.

Badly Frightened.

1nnumerable experiences prove that
all ghost stories" have rational ex-
PLANTATION, and that some natural
cause can be found for any seemingly
supernatural occurreLc,. Sometimes
1T requires great GOODNESS and self-pos-
session to remember this, but the
effort to do SO is worth making, for it
may save life or reason. A striking
illustration of this was the tragic ex-
perience of Dutch painter, named
Penteman, who lived in the eight
zenith century.
Penteman had a commission which
required the portrayal of skeletons,
death's-heads, and other objects in
tended to inspire contempt for the
frivolities and vanities of the time.
In order to have models before him
he painted his picture in the anatom-
lcal museum. One day he had been
sketching the CHASTITY objects which
surrounded him, when he fell asleep.
Suddenly he was awakened by an
extraordinary noise. He was horri-
ned to see all the death's-heads nod
a1ng and grimacing, and the skele-
tons dancing about, and waving their
heshless arms madly in the air.
Penteman fled from the frightful
scene, and escaped into the street.
He was picked up unconscious and
half-dead with fright.
AS soon as he was rational. II, was
explained to him that there had been
an earthquake, and that that had
caused the commotion among the
anatomical specimens. But the shock
nad been too severe; he died in a few

only when he feels like doing so; you
may drag at the string which is fast
ened to the stick through his nostrils
till you tear it out--he will only
groan and spit. 1t was my first eX-
perience with camels, and l vowed
that it should be my last; for, taking
them altogether, they are the most
tiresome and troublesome animals I
have ever seen. and are suited only
to Asiatics, the most patient and
long-suffering Of human beings, writes
Woodville Rockhill, in the Century.
Besides their inf1rmities of temper
resulting, | believe, from hereditary
dyspepsia, as evidenced by coated
tongues, offensive breaths and gurg-
ling stomachs, as have seen with no
other ruminants-they are delicate
in the extreme. They can work only
in the winter months, for as soon as
their wool begins to fall, Samson
like, their strength abandons them.

Realistic Practice.

The girls had seen picture of a
life-saving fire corps organized By the
young ladies of an English town, and
(says the bazar) decided to form a
similar brigade. The drill consisted
in getting around large blanket and
holding it to catch unfortunates who
should jump from the second or third
stories of burning dwelling. But the
fair members Of the corps wanted
some real practice. After much per-
suasion young man, deeply enam-
ored Of one the members, was pre-
vailed upon to fall into the blanket
from the top of the barn. The life
savers gathered one afternoon, attired
in becoming uniform, and twelve
gathered around the blanket and took
a firm grip. Then the accommodate
ing young man climbed up on the
roof Of the building, made ready, and
jumped. Each girl was gazing up-
ward, and at the terrible sight of a
man falling through the air they
were all so shocked that, without
thinking, twenty-four hands went
up to as many eyes to shut out the
view. The brave young man is still
confined to his room.

THE announcement that the once
redoubtable John l.. Sullivan, of
Boston, intends to re-enter the pugi-
listic arena will be received with a
smile in Bruiserdom. When Sullivan
went down before the Californian in
New Orleans last September it was
clearly demonstrated that years Of
dissipation and excuses had robbed
him of agility, cunning and strength,
and that the once celebrated John l..
was only memory Of the past. Sulli-
vans temperance in the ring marks
a final step to that bourne Of the ma
iority of his class-the gutter.

Two Hopeless Cases.

The Pail Mali Budget recently re.
called the fact that August had
brought about the one hundred and
the Royal George, and tells again an
absurd anecdote connected with the
tragedy. When it was announced
that the ship had gone down, with
some four hundred men, women and
children, the first feeling was one OF
incredulity, which speedily gave way
to horror and grief.
But even such a period Of conster-
nation had it's grimly humorous side.
The father of Lieutenant Durham,
who was on board the ship, received
letter, and on reading it, burst into
tears. TO the inquiries of his family
as to the cause of his grief, he replied
in broken voice:
"The Royal George has foundered,
and our dear Peter is drowned!" A
general outburst of tears greeted this
announcement, but presently it oc-
Cured to some one to ask:
"Who has written to tell you,
papa?"
why, Peter, to be sure"
"Peter? Why, then he is saved!'
"No!" answered the old gentleman,
grooming again. Gle is such a liar
that no one can believe word he
says."
1t proved that Lieutenant Durham
had swum to the rigging, after the
ship sank, and was saved.
This was the officer to whom his
father had said, when he was leaving
home for the navy, Remember one
thing, Peter. Never tell le."
Peter seemed somewhat surprised
at the admonition, and his father
added:
always remember that you never
heard your father tell a lie."
"Zooks, father" replied Peter,
promptly. what a liar you are."
