MENT BUILDINGS
San Francisco, Aug 3l.-At the time Of the de-
parture of the last mail, on August lG. the Gov
| eminent had definite information of the renewal
Of the dynamite conspiracy. Rumors. to which
the population were paying no attention, had
also begun to prevail among the natives that the
Queen was to be restored in few days The
date named varied from August Is to -, and to
the Queens birthday, on September ?. Such ac-
ton, it was learned By the Government, really
contemplated. With their large and wel-organized
forces the Government felt fear of serious
disturbance. II was, however, thought fitting to
put the leading American representative, Admiral
Skerrett, in possession of the facts; and he was
Informally v advised on the night of August / T.
Although no request made for action
his part, Admiral Slcrrctt instantly sent orders to
the Boston and Adams TO be fully prepared for "A
prompt movement of their forces into town. Shore
leave stopped and the men were kept on board
in readiness for action until Tuesday, August %.
when the crisis was deemed to be passed SO far
as learned by the Government. the scncme Of tho
conspirators was to explode dynamite siuul-
taneously in the houses ard business Offices of
the leading annexationlsts in different parts Of
the town, and in the confusion and panic thus
created TO rush in large body Of men and cap
ture the Government buildings. Many buildings
were to be set fire at the time, to increase
the confusion.
1t was asccrtained that the cOnspirators had
previously planned to convey the Queen TO Wal
uka OIL the Island of Maui, and there rally
around her many Royasts. 1t was believed that
this would cause the Government to send large
force to Maui, and so fatally weaken its forces
in Honolulu. This scheme finally abandoned
on account of the unexpected difficulty Of getting
the Queen TO leave Oahu. About 300 natives
had been enlisted for the Queen at $40 a MONTH
their pay to BEGIN September ,, or at any
earlier date at which she might be rcinstated.
The Government does not at present possess suf-
fcient evidence 10 Justify the arrest of any con-
spirators, except in case of the proclamation of
martial law, which is not called for by any sup
posed danger.
The personal attitude toward the plot Of the
en- Queen is not certainly known. II is known
that Just before his departure, Mr.. Bount posi-
lively informed her that she must abandon ali
idea that the United States would in any way
assist her TO the throne.

There is much truthful criticism
fired at men who hoard up wealth dur
ing their lifetime in order to support in
idleness, after their death, worthless
heirs, or worse still, present to them
opportunities to wrangle over the estate
in court. But in spite of AL pesslmism
the sense Of public responsibility is
growing in rich men. and never IN the
history Of the world. has wealth been
bestowed for the elevation of the mass
es, so gladly and So ungrudgingIy as it
is today. Rich men are rivaling one
another in determining who shall give
the most, the habit Of giving is in Il fair
way to become fad.
In connection with this subject. the
id-a occurred to me that the gamblers

hearts instead Of swift horses. Why
not put up stakes on the most generous
