ment left the state he was made a corpo-

first sergeant, second and first lieuten-
ant, and then captain, the rank he held
when the war closed.
He was with his regiment in most of
the battles of the Army Of the Potomac
in which it took part up TO the siege of
Petersburg, where he was captured with
his regiment by the enemy and held for
nine months as q prisoner Of war. At
fredericksburg Captain Adams saved

SUGGESTIONS.
In view of the recent disaster and
the causes thereof, and In considera-
ton of the probability of increased use
OF the harbor of Honolulu by large
steamships, and the increasing use OF
electric lights on the streets OF the
city, the court begs TO offer the fol-
lowing suggestions to the Hawaiian
government:
That light be established at Dia-
mond Head which should show light
to the west Of the harbor entrance.
That the light on BARRIERS Point be
replaced by one sufficiently powerful
to cut the Diamond Head light off the
entrance.
That the leading lights for entering
the harbor be made more powerful and
raised sufficiently to clear Intervening
obstacles and as far as practicable es-
cape the influence of the street lights.
That the port physician aud the pi-
lot be entirely independent OF one
another as to means of boarding ships
outside.
That the pilot be relieved from the
duty of lighting the buOys.
That distinct instructions as to every
branch OF their duty be supplied to
the pilots.
That the pilot signal of a ship in
the offing be Immediately answered
from a pilot station on shore.
And that one pilot be always on du'
| ty ready to go out to meet any ship
outside signalling, and that proper
pilot station be established on the har-
Dor from where the pilot on duty can
see the whole harbor entrance and the
offlng from Diamond Head to Barber
Point.

4 Banauet In the Rank of England.

Some favored guests took tea the other
day with the Oldest lady in London.
Some American readers may not know
that the "Old Lady of Threadneedle
Street Is the accepted English name for
the great Bank of England, but so it is.
The governor of the bank lives in the
building, and the other evening his wife
gave a reception. There is quiet little
garden within the bank. 1t was once a
burying ground, but on the evening in
question was gay with fountains, flow
ers and Examinations. 1t is said that

The majority of wel-read phys

words, instead of being IN the con-
stitution itself it is caused by limit
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do

which have been

little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be- seen with the
naked eve, but they are very much
alive Just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores Of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, 1oosens them, kills

CHEHALIs, Dec 23.-Ispecial. IA project
is on foot TO extend the Chehalis-New
kum plank road to jackson Prairie and
the Cowlitz in the immediate future. This
will give Chehalis connection all the year
around with the largest portion of the
agricultural territory fthe county, which
has hitherto been entirely shut Off IN the
winter months. Many merchants have
expressed their willingness to assist in
carrying out the plan. The improvement
OF the roads of the county has gone
steadily forward all the fall and winter.
The county commissioners seem to have
grasped the idea that not more legisla-
ton in the future but better roads
now is the imperative need OF the
people. Consequently they have made
the levy for road purposes nearly twice as
high as ever before. They appropriated
5000 for roads for each commissioner .
district several months ago. and for the
upper district have already paid out nearly
twice that sum. At tie last session.
which closed this week. the board did
little but allow bills for road work. There
are several hundred OF these, the list
printed in the papers in the last two weeks
being something like five column. in
length. The largest part of money ex-
pended in this direction has been on per-
msnent roadways. but respectable sum
has been aio sed for corduroy roads in
various parts of the county. The results of
the road building in this vicinity have
been very percep:ible this winter, mer-
chants say. Their country trade has beer
a great deal better than ever before in the
winter months.

WASHINGTON Cfrr, Dec. 2s.-Secretary
Herbert tonight received a cipher dispatch
from Capt. Picking. in command of the
United states naval forces at Rio. IL is
believed to contain important information
concerning the situation IN the be-
sieged citv. The dispatch was sent TO
Lieut.. Mniiigan TO be deciphered. The
secretary then went to q dinner partv at
the house of Postmaster General Rissell.
with the expectation that the translation
would be completed on his return. Al
midnight the secretary returned, but tho
translation was not vet ready. The secre-
tary will remain till he reads the report
before deciding whether or not TO make is
public.
The secretary of state has received the
following dispatch from Rio. dated yes
terday:
The American dockmasters each hold
Brazilian dock permit. The docks speci-
ned are contiguous pointa Protection
from shore fre is promised by the govern
ment. which has instructed Picking to
anchor off that point for convenience till
the question is eQuitahly settled. The in
surgents make their lines of fire any where
TO suit their purposes. thereby indefinitely
hlockading neutral commerce without pre-
vious notice."
The dispatch was signed by Townes. the
United States consul general TO Brasil.
The dispatch is supposed TO mean that
the Brazilian government has granted .
permit for shipping to unload at certain
wharves, and that Townes wants our ma
val forces TO respect these permits and not
permit fire along these lines. With the
discretion vested in Capt Picking and the
Uaitsd States minister, on the ground,
