MADISON SOUTH DAKoTA MONDAY JANUARY 80, 1893

recelfsa Dy ohiciars IN tins clty. it salu
that Queen Lilliuoklani started revo-
lution on Jan, IA in attempting TO abro-
gate the constitution and promulgate
new one. The revolution of the people
was successful. the queen was de-
throned and a provisional government
established with s. b. Dole as president.
The dispatch stated that the new gov
ernment had been recognized by all the
powers except England, and that com
missioners have been sent TO Washing
ton to negotiate annexation to thi.
country.
The Probable Cause.
Mott Smith reached the state depart
ment shortly before II o'clock. While
waiting to see Secretary Foster he told
reporter something about the proba
BILE cause for the revolution as suggested
by the statement that the queen had
attempted to abrogate the constitution.
SIN 1887, " said Mr.. Mott Smith, ''the
king of Hawaii was given almost abso-
lutte power. He could appoint and dis
miss his ministers at will and had nc
restrictions placed upon him. This OF
course could not last and the people
took this power away from King Kali
akua and adopted new constitution,
which the sovereign was obliged tc
sign. Tho native element has always
Chafed Under the Limitation
which was placed on their rulers.
"Yielding to these mutterings of dis
content the queen, suppose, very prob
ably attempted TO put the old order OF
things in force. There are too many
Yankees and English in the kingdom,
however, to submit to this, and as a
consequence she finds herself dethroned,
and the country practically a republic. .
Mr.. Mott Smith was sent to this
country during the illness of, the late
Minister Carter with authority to
transact business of diplomatic
character. He arrived i'm San Francisco
the day after Mr.. Carter died, and he
was Immediately appointed to succeed
the latter. He is the representative OF
the queen, but Immediately acted upon
instructions telegraphed to him by Mr.
Thurston.
Secretary Foster sent the news to the
Office of the secretary Of the navy with
the request for an immediate interview
with Secretary Tracy.
Secretary Tracy arrived soon, and
upon hearing the news went over to set

1t is probable that the new coast defenst
vessel, Monterey viii be sent. Thi

of having her turret armor in place, and
it Is likely that she will set sail at onc'
from San Francisco TO support th,
Boston. The interior lining Of iron, {.
which the armor is riveted, has beer
placed in her turrets, and her stores ar,
all ON board.
Anticipates No Further Trouble.
After his interview with Secretar,
Foster Mr.. Mott Smith said that tn,
new government could be maintained
without display of force by the Unitet
States. He believed, he said, that th'
people themselves would regulate mat
ters and that there would be no trouble
Mr.. Smith believed revolution was in
evitable, bat he thought IL would no
come SO soon.

The Enjoyment of the Infanta.

The Princess Eulalie is rapidly becoming
accustomed to American habits and customs,
and is falling into the American manner of
doing things In New York she attended the
races at Morris Park, and secured tip bet on
horse which unfortunately did not win.
Aftor the race the entire party visited the club
house and enjoyed sumptuous luncheon.
On Memorial Day she visited Riverside Park,
where the remains of Gen. Grant are buried,
and participated in the ceremonies. The place
around the park was black with people, but the
Princess made her way through, and taking an
immense and heavy wreath, three feet in d.
ameter, she deposited it on the tomb, remarking
very impressively. at gives mo the greatest
pleasure to pay this tribute to the memory of
the great General"
The trip on the Dolphin was thoroughly en-
ioyed, and the work on the Brooklyn Bridge
seemed to be particularly fascinating to the
Infanta. Her trip TO West Point was one
which will no doubt be long remembered by
her, and she was very much impressed with
what she saw and heard. She thought the
cadets formed the finest corps she ever saw,
and was quite inquisitive when touring the
place.

Near small town on the coast of Spain at
the junction of two rivers and on high bluff
close 10 the sea, there stood 400 years ago low,
irregular building with plastered walls and red
tiled roof surmounted by an iron cross Here
u was mat the second chapter in the eventful
life Of Columbus took place. After an unsue-
cessful siege at the Portuguese court, lasting
several years, the adventurer sought the court
Of Spain. Picture a man great in spirit and
noble in bearing red uced to the condition of a

Rabida and asked for some food for his little
SOL.
This convent or monastery, If tradition is to
be believed, has had as many vicissitudes as the
famous discoverer whom it several times shell
tered. Tradition says it was built by the Ro-
mans and dedicated TO ono of their fayorite
deties. At the opening of each new year two
youthful maidens were sacrificed on the altar
and then the sOothsayers would prophecy what
luck the country would have during the fol-
lowing year.

COLUMBUS MONUMENT AT GENOA.

TO the contrary, for at one time it seemed as
though nearly all his former friends had
deserted the one-time popular Admiral.
IT Columbus be judged by tho strict moral
code of the 10Th century, there are many
defects which may be found in his character
But take him as representative of his age,
and he stands far out from his contemporaries in
moral breadth and general ideas. 1t is true he
favored slavery because it was source of
revenue yet in his own dealings with the
natives of the New World he was uniformly
kind and just. Few such men have frightened
the pages of the history of the middle ages.
Columbus made four voyages TO tho New
World which he had discovered. Tho last
was the most disastrous of all. His men became
mutinous, he was shipwrecked for over year
on little island, and his authority in the
colonies had been supplanted. His ships were
barely able to reach the shores Of Spain because
of the fearful storms which they encountered
When Columbus did land he was a man broken
in health and spirit
Before Columbus reached the royal residence
at Segovia the good Queen Isabella died the
best and truest friend Columbus ever had.
After that he had only the crafty and willy
King Ferdinand to deal with. As result he
lost nearly all the honors that he had before
received, or. at any rate they were all dsre-
garded and he received very little money.
1t is little wonder that man of the nature
of Christopher Columbus rapidly sunk under
such treatment after his great services. In
Valledolid. a former capital of Spain, is mod
est and unpretentious house, which was the
last dwelling-place OF the immortal dscoverer
of new world. Here on the goth of May,
1906, Columbus breathed his last.
Then it was that honors were again heaped
upon his memory. His funeral was almost
equal to that of King The highest person.
ages in the land We'd with each other in paying
tribute to his virtues. But it was too late
The great spirit of the horo had departed and
was OH earth no more. Even in death his
ashes were not allowed to rest in peace Their
present resting-place at Havana, Cuba, is the
fourth in succession. However the inscription
on his tomb is one the like of which has never
been recorded of any other man. 1t is: "Co-
lumbus gave q New World to Castillo and to

The remains of Jefferson Davis, the President
of the so-called Southern Confederacy, reached
the depot at Richmond, Va, at 3 o'clock in the
morning of May 81, from whence they were i'm
mediately transferred to the State Capitol. De-
spite the lateness of the hour, there were thou
sands OF people anxious to get a glimpse of
the casket. The Capitol was thronged with
visitors until $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon,
when the body was removed to the casson.
which was drawn by six white horses capari-
soned in black, and the line of march was taken
up for Hollywood Cemetery. Houses along the
line were, almost without exception, draped in
black and the National, State and Confederate
flags, the latter predominating, were either
floating to the breeze Or worked in the funeral
colors.
Each pair of horses to the caisson had an
artlleryman driver, and cannoneer walked
at the head of each horse, every man wearing
gray uniform, helmet, with red plume, and
artillery saber. No canopy of any description
covered the casket. 1t stood out in full view
on top of the caisson. with the sun shining
brightly on the polished oak and glittering
brass As was expected would be the case,
flowers were strewn along the route in front of
the catafaque. Women aud little children per-
formed large part of this feature of the parade.
The bells of the city were tolled while the pro-
cession was in progress.
After the ceremonies at the grave were over,
the column then moved to Gettysburg Hill,
where the memorial services of the Ladies'
Hollywood Association took place, which con-
sisted of the decoration of the graves of 10000
Confederate soldiers, after which prayer was
offered and hymn sung.

Preparing for the Arctic Trip.

The steam sealer Falcon, which is to convey
Lieut.. Peary and the members of his next ex-
petition to northern Greenland, is expected to
arrive at Philadelphia near the 25th of this
month. The boat has just come out of the dry
dock, after thorough overhauling. The net
tonnage is 81, while that of the Kite the ves-
sci used last year by Lieut.. Peary, was only 100
tons. After taking on board the material for
the house which is to be constructed at the
Winter quarters of the expedition and the
necessary miscellaneous equipment and stores
she will go to New York and take on board
two tons of pemmcan and the provisions for
the expedition, sailing directly from New York
for her destination. Capt. Henry Bartlett,
formerly of the sealer Algerine, will command
the Falcon, and large proportion of the old
crew of the Kite will form part Of her compile

A few months later two small ships sailed
into the port of Palos, bearing Columbus and
his followers. Everybody turned out en- masse
to see the returned wanderers. Columbus inn
mediately set out for Barcelona, several hum

then were. Travelling in those days was not
a parlor-car luxury. This journey was, how
ever, rather triumphal march, for the people
along the route turned ont as on a holiday
occasion. The several natives of the New
World, and other curiosities were the attrac-
ton. Never had such sights been seen in old
Spain. Equal curiosities could scarcely be seen
in a modern museum of monstrosities. In no

The Pope and the Public schools.

Rumors are many in Rome that Monsignor
Ireland is not now in just such high favor at
the Vatican as he was few months ago. and
that the Cahenslyists. who want foreign priests
for foreign communities in the United States
and are opposed to our public schools, are gain
ing the ear of the Pon;if, with the result that
that Ecclesiastic is manifesting an inclination
to reconsider his liberal policy toward our pub
lie schools. Archbishop Ireland's enemies are
evidently at work again. at any rate, endeavor-
ing to put him and his progressive ideas at
"outs" with the Pope. 1t is believed that the
Pope will soon put forth an encyclicsl on the
American educational question.

not only interest simple monks in his theories,
but had no difficulty in Draining audiences
with Kings and the highest mobiles. 1t was
only lack of money in Spain which prevented
the consummaiion of his hopes many years
sooner. History tells us that for many years
he was an attache of the court of Ferdinand
and Isabella, and was supported by the bounty
of the royal purse.
Columbus. ever active, became disheartened
by many years of doubt and suspense He
finally left the court hopeless aud almost
penniless. About all he had was strong will
and an almost worthless mule to make Jour-
ney to the French King.
Providence had certainly ruled otherwise.
The man who had met little but reverses for
the 80 years of his life was destined to have
success crown his efforts at last. He was to
have chance to demonstrate the existence of
a new world to an increduous world.
1t is not likely that Queen Isabella ever sold
her jewels to furnish money for the ex petition
of Columbus, yet her offer to do so showed
most generous spirit. A possible new world
filled with people to whom the Gospel was un-
known. was the great idea which pervaded the
mind of Spain's sovereign lady more than
aught else.
