AUGUSTA, Me. Nov. 2O.--A reporter
Of the Kennebec Journal called on ex-
Minister of Hawat John L. Stevens this
evening at his hone and asked him if
he had anything 10 say regarding Com
missioner Blount's statement published
this .aorning. but which did not reach
Mr.. Stevens until this evening.
Mr. Stevens said that he firmly adj
heared to all his previous statements in
his San Francisco and Augusta adj
dresses to the cot ntry and i'm his open
He expressed great surprise at the
language Of Mr.. Blount as TO Mr..
Stevens's unwillingness to show him the
records Of the legation Mr.. Stevens
says that he feels himself at liberty to
expose Mr.. Blount's remarkable con-
duct toward himself, commencing inn
mediately after Mr. Blount's arrival in
Honolulu 1t is a record Mr.. Stevens
says, the publication of which will as
tonish all honorable minds. bringing to
Mr.. Stevens nc censure unless il be
that he tolerated such insulting treat
ment without at once resenting il by re-
fusing all intercourse with the offending
person.
Mr. Stevens two weeks ago made an
imperative enga cement out of the sta te
which will occupy the next two or three
days. With reasonable promptness he
will be heard in his defense. 1t is sufii-
cient TO say now. Mr.. Stevens adds,
that Mr.. Blounts report SO far as given
to the public is an ex parte and shame
less perversion OF the facts.

JUST TO PASS AWAY THE TIME.
A Young Nebraskan Who Chose the

A Young Nebraskan Who Chose the
Wrong Auditor to His Yarns.
81 was travelling from Chicago to
Denver several weeks ago." remarked
a young Nebraskan to a New York
Herald man, when there came into
the car and sat beside me a sancti-
monious individual whom | thought
looked particularly gullible. He was
dressed in gray and was evidently-so,
at least, | thought-some itinerant
clergyman. Well, / was feeling pretty
good, and to while away the time /
started in by telling him some of my
western yarns. He was very courteous,
and listened to my 'hairbreadth es-
capes' and Indian stories with evident
interest. That he believed every word
/ uttered I didn't for one moment en-
terrain a doubt. He finally asked me
where / lived, and I, selecting a town
in Idaho at random, replied hat my
home was at Arrowville; that l was
born there, in fact. l had but just re-
turned, 1 told him, from a German uni
versity, where l had taken a course in
mining engineering. He appeared very
much interested and 1 went on to tell
him more about myself. My father, l
continued, had settled in Arrowville
early in the sos, had stolen a young
Indian squaw after killing her buck,
had married her and I was the result
of the union.
"'You hardly appear to have had an
Indian mother he remarked, glancing
at my blonde hair and light complex
ion. l thought he was growing more
interested, so 1 continued to pile it on.
"'My father said I, is the owner of
the Red Dog mine, and is, 1 suppose,
worth as much money as any man in
the territory. He really built the
town, you know, or rather you would
know if you should ever happen to stay
in that town over night
"My companion looked me over
scrutinizingly, and I continued: why,
there's the town of Shasta, right near
Arrowville. 1t was raided by the In
dams four years ago. They had an
awful fight owe there, l assure you.
My father alone killed a half-dozen of
the painted devils with his trusty rifle.
A great town is Shasta. Bound to be
a metropolis some day. There's an
English syndicate going to invest
several millions of dollars in land in
that vicinity Here" continued the
speaker, my friend in gray looked out
Of the window and an amused smile
stole over his features. Finally turn
ing toward me and looking me square
ly in the eyes, he remarked:
"It is very strange, young man, that
I have heard of any these things
before. I have lived in Arrowville,
Idaho, for the last fifteen years. l am
the mayor of the town.
81 was the worst broke up man you
ever saw. Take my advice; never judge
a man by his appearance-at least not
on a railroad train"

to properly direct and insure the eff
ficiency of the small army of employees
of the pension Office. When the pres
ident thought he had found the man he
was looking for, he. offered him the posi-
ton without reference to the fact that
the man was not seeking the office nor
indeed any office He just selected
Judge William Lochren of Minnesota as
the proper man and sent his name to
the senate.
That Judge Lochren is just the kind OF
man the president was looking for there
seems no room to doubt. The Republic
an legislature of Minnesota unanimously
indorsed him as soon as his name was
first mentioned, and whatever dissatis-
faction may arise later on his assump-
ton of the Office was certainly happy in
its auspices. He is jurist of long expe-
rience, having been appointed to the Min
nesota circuit bench by Republican
governor in 1882 and twice reelected to
the position as Democrat. His war rec
ord is all right, for he was one of the 300
men of the First Minnesota regiment
who made the famous charge that stopped
Pickett's onslaught at Gettysburg. OF
those 300 men only 40 came out alive and
unwounded, and First Lieutenant Loeb
rem was in command, every officer above
his rank having been killed or disabled.
Judge Lochren went to Minnesota
from Vermont in 1857, when he had just
attained his majority and been admitted
to practice at the bar. He has never
been an office seeker, but his popularity
with his own party is attested by the
fact that on two occasions he was the
Democratic caucus nominee for United
/ States senator.

The State of Idaho at KasIo.

Mr.. William VanGasken return
ed from Kaslo Thursday evening
and Immediately proceeded to take
us to task for not mentioning the
grand reception given the steamer
State of Idaho on the occasion of
her first entrance into Kaslo har-
Dor. He says he never saw any
thing equal it. The people turned
out enmass, headed by Hollands
brass band, and when the vessel
touched shore, a great cheer went
up from some 2000 people who
were present to welcome the stately
State Of Idaho and her gallant Cap
tains, A. S. Lanneau and H. S. De
Puy. We predict that the people
of Kaslo will always receive such
treatment from the State of Idaho
as will retain their warm friend
ship for the vessel.

Mr.. Neal has long been prominent in
Ohio politics. He was speaker of the
state house of representatives in 1878
and before that had been the leader of
the Democratic party on the floor when

of his party and has several times held
the chairman ship Of the state executive
committee during critical campaigns
He held that position during the cam
paign of 1899, which resulted in the de-
feat of Governor Foraker and the cleo
ton of Governor Campbell, result quite
generally accredited to his management.
He and Mr.. Campbell are fast personal
and political friends. Mr.. Neal is resi-
dent of Hamilton, the ex-governors

among his fellow townsmen. He has
never before held any federal Office.

AN OUTRAGEOUS ACT.
Ebert Owens Bruises Mrs. D. c. Long
in FrightfuI Manner.

On Tuesday Ebert Owens,
young man not too fayorably know
in this vicinity, was arrested on a
warrant issued by Judge Hoban,
for the beating of Mrs. d. G. Long,
The facts appear to be that the
Owens family have jumped, or at
tempted to jump, a portion of the
Longs ranch. On Tuesday the
senior Owens was in the act Of fenc
ing in the disputed tract. Mr.. Long
being away from home, Mrs. Long
went out and endeavored to pre-
vent the fencing, and went to pull
ing up the posts. Young Owens
tried to prevent her from doing this
and scuflte followed in which
young Ovens struck Mrs Long and
beat her in a most shameful man
ner. Around the right eye the
flesh is blackened and beaten almost
into a jelly, the skin being cut above
and below the eye.
At the trial, which commenced
Thursday afternoon, the prosecut-
ing witness was represented by
S. E. Henry and the defendant by
JIG. Hardness. The defendant pied
not guilty, and Mr.. Hardness call
ed for jury trial. Most of the af-
ternoon was spent in selecting a
jury, but the following were finally
impanneled to decide the case:
Ed. Owens, J. d. Cook, VIM. Aims
ley, Geo. Tamblin, Sam Hunting
ton, John Dunn, C. G. Mussleman,
S. D. Taylor, Geo. Fry, P. Merri-
man, w. L. Ross and T. w. John
son.
The first witness called for the
state was Mr.. N. B. Fry, who saw the
affair and described it as mention
ed. Before the examination Of Fry
was concluded, the court took a re-
cess till Friday morning at 9 o.
clock, at which time another adj
iournment was taken until Monday
as some of those whose attendance
was required had other pressing en-
gagements.
The examination Of Mr.. Fry was
productive Of much amusement az
he caused the attorney for the de
Tense no little worry by his tar
answers, Notwithstanding the fac
that Mr.. Hardness is an adept a
cross-questioning.
There is considerable feeling
against young Owens, and there i
strong sentiment that his brute
like instincts should be corrected b.
the proper punishment.

Traian's Floating palace.

Marcus Ulpius Nerva Trajanus. the Ira
jan of Roman biography, and one of
Rome's most renowned emperors, construct
ed or was responsible for the construction
of three of the most remarkable works of
the early years of the Christian era-Tra-
JAMS column, Trajans wall and Trajan's
floating palace. History is full of accounts
concerning the two former, but the last
seems to have been pretty generally over
looked by the early as we'll as the later
cleaners of rare and curious information.
The monk Bartemius, who mentions it in
his 'Ecclesiasta says that it was con-
structel and purposely sunken in Lake
Nemi. an arch tunnel allowing communica-
tion with the shore. In this case it would
certainly have gone into history as ''Tra-
JAMS sunken palace" instead of floating
palace"
1t is generally believed. Bartemius to the
contrary, that it was originally an imperial
palace, intended for the use of the emperor
and his family during their summer excur-
sions on Lake Nemi. Another faction of
antiquarians are of the opinion that it was
not built during the lifetime of Trajan.
Southwick says that it was sunk in the
year 1875 A. D., IS years after the death of
the emperor for which it was named.
March,, who explored it in diving suit on
July Is, 1885, declared it to be in good
state Of preservation; also, that it was 500
