A Curious wedding Custom.

The Mandingoes, who inhabit a tract
of country in Africa, are strict MohaIn-
medans in religion. but cur1ouSiy
enough, they still retain many of the
superstitions of the negro races from
which they sprung Consequently
their marriage ceremony is q mixture OF
the two, and, although it is performed
by a marabout or holy man in the
mosque, it contains one very ridiculous
element Next in Importance to the
marabout is the bridegroom's sister,
and when the marriage ceremony
reaches the point where the visible
bond, usually typified in civilization by
the ring, this sister steps forward, and
in place OF the ring presents the LADY
with pair of trousers. which are I'M
mediateiy donned- The ceremony Is
concluded by a very mournful song
sung by the companions of the bride,
who then conduct her again to the
home of her parents, as, owing to the
extreme probability of one or the other
retracting at any moment by reason OF
an unfavora bic omen, no house Is built
until the ceremony is completed Po-
lygamy is the rule. but each wife has
her own house to keep her from quar-
reling with the other wives They are
the most tyrannical wives in Africa,
and. hating each other, band together
! against their husband and rule him

SoRosIs, New York's great woman's
club, has held its last meeting for the
season and adjourned till the 1st of Oc-
tober. The subject discussed was:
"Are Managers, Playwrights, Players
or Playgoers Responsible for the
Dramas Lapses from It's Truth to Art?''
1t was decided that actors are blame
less, they merely play their parts: the
playwrights' hands are clean, as they
write what they can sell to the man
ayers LAS for the latter, they must
cater to popular demands, and there
rests the fault" Sorosis recommends
lectures on dramatic criticism as a
remedy for the uncultivated taste of
the public. Nothing was said about its

THE FRASER DISASTER.
Only Seven Men Saved Out OF Crew of
Twenty-four.

Only Seven Men Saved Out OF q Crew of
Twenty-four.
NORTH BAY, Ont, Nov. 9.-It is now
believed that "a men were on board the
steamer Fraser when she took fire. Only
20 of these can be accounted for. Thir-
teen are known to be lost and seven
saved, all of whose names have already
been telegraphed. The vessel had two
boats, each capable of holding IS to 20
men. When it was decided to abandon
the vessel, those on board proceeded to
lower them. The first boat was lowered
successfully and 16 or Is men got into
it, but it drifted under the paddle wheel
and was at once capsized, and all in it
except one were drowned, some being
struck and stunned by the wheel, and
the others being hampered by their
clothes, sunk one at time.
John Adams succeeded in reaching
the scow which the Fraser was towing,
where four others had already succeeded
in securing refuge. Subsequently two
more joined them, making up the total
of seven.
The blazing vessel was seen from the
ehore, and crew went out in sail boat
and rescued the men on the scow, which
had meantime Deen cut adrift. When
the first boat was lowered an attempt
was made to lower the other, but the
flames were 60 hot on that side that it
was found impossible, and those remain
ing on the deck had to jump and swim
for their lives to the scow.

NOT FRIENDLY TO HAWAII

The Annexation Proposition Is Out
of the Question.
Minister Willis Instructed to Use His
Moral Infiuence for the Restora-
tion of the Queen-Naval
Onicers Disgusted.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-Secretary
Gresham declines to impart any inform
alton on the Hawaiian subject. The
discussion of the policy towards Hawaii
at the cabinet meeting Tuesday seems
to have given information to come mem
bers of the administration, and bits OF
talk have trickled through tothe public
since then. 1t ia evident that the sd
ministration's policy is not friendly to
the provisional government Of the
islands, or for annexation to the United
States. There is reason to believe that
the provisional government in Hawaii
is regarded as the result OF the landing
OF marines from the Boston in Honolulu.
Well informed persons who comment on
these facts point out the difficulty the
United States government would expe-
rience in deposing the provisional gov
ernmontin diplomatic way, after hav-
ing formally recognized it as the lawful
government OF the islands and received
ite accredited diplomatic representatives
and accredited United States minister
to it.
There seems to be no authority for
believing the United States minister
has been given power to exercise any
thing more than moral influence to
secure the establishment of the con-
ditions in the islands that obtained
before the recent revolution, but such
influence ia to bs tried. Those
we'll acquainted with the islands
believe no mere moral Buasion
will ever serve to depose the provisional
government. The United States navy
will view with verv little satisfaction
any effort to restore Queen Liliuoknlani.
The officers of the navy have been ar
dent annexionists, and the opinion pre-
vailed among them that Queen Liliuo-
kalani represented the British interests
in the islands.

department, and among the secretary .

Low WATER MARK.

The Available Treasury Balance Falls
Below &1OO.OO0,OO0.
WASHINGTON, Nov. o. Low water
mark OF the net available balance of the
treasury was reached today when the
total stood at 500, ,9Os, s,242, of which
$S4, ,656, ,4l2 was gold reserve. Large ex-
penditures over receipts thus far thie
NOR tn are responsible for this condition,
but no alarm or uneasiness is felt at the
department. The hope is expressed
that the reserve. as well aH the net cur
rency balance, will rise soon.
1t was said at the department today
that no orders in reference to the actual
coinage of silver bullion in the treasury,
purchased under the Sherman act, had
yet been issued.
This low state of the treasury's avail
able cash has given rise to fresh rumors
that rev means will be devised for re-
plenishing the gold reserve. 1t is eaid
at the treasury department, however,
that, other than the coinage OF bullion,
Secretary Carlisle has no imm ediate
steps in contemplation involving q
change in the fiscal policy Of the gov.
ernment. There ia said to be no dispo
sition to issue bonds at present, and nc
such issue is thought necessary before

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The report OF
the superintendent of the foreign mail
service was made to the postmaster
general today. The most interesting
feature of the document is its criticism
OF the subsidies granted under the act
of March 3, 1891. The subsidies made
very little, if any, change by an in
creased number of trips or in the time
made by the vessels. The report states
that the subsidies cost the government
$4O6 ,027 more than the service would
have cost without the subsidies.
The cost OF foreign mails carried in
vessels of United States register was
Trans-Atlantic. sos, ,42S; trans Pacific,
$157 ,230; miscellaneous, $420. ut; total
$646, ABS.
The amount paid vessels OF foreign

OF ammunition and 500 in money.
They appropriated provisions and other
supplies from stores. One of the ma
rauding band was killed in the engage
ment. The Indians distributed printed
