Hawaiian Affairs.

Events at Honolulu since the sail

ally changed, Several days proceed
ing May Is, rumors were current to
the effect that Mr. Blount was resting
uneasily under public comments
being made on his course as special
commissioner. On the afternoon of
the 10th the public was genuinely
surprised by the official publication
orders in the leading royalist paper
from Washington, under which
Blount is acting, setting out that he
was sent there by the President in
order that the American Govern
ment might more fully understand
the true situation in the islands.
This document takes from the
hands of Minister Stevens the power
to invoke the aid of force and placed
it in the joint keeping of Blount and

of the islands, cautions the commits
sioner to use great discretion in the
employment of force, declares that
the United States will protect its
citizens and their property and will
not tolerate foreign interference in
the little kingdom. AT the end of
his commission, duly signed by Sec
retary Gresham, the commissioner
adds: "While l shall refrain from
interference between conflicting
forces of whatever nationality for
supremacy, | will protect American
citizens not participating in such
conflict"

Government Bonds.

The Sun prints the followidg May
81: One of President Cleveland's s
closest friends said:
In view of the different opinions
as to the Presidents power under
the resumption act concerning the
issue of Government bonds, the
President has had frequent consul
tations with Attorney General Olney
on the subject. The President has
always maintained that he had power
to sell bonds, but arguments disput-
this have come from such able au-
thorities that he determined to re-
quest a brief on the subject from
Mr.. Olney.
The Attorney General favored the
President with an exhaustive state
ment, in which he clearly sets forth
his opinion that the President has
full power to issue bonds.
In fact, Mr. Olney's opinion makes
i mandatory upon the President to
act in certain circumstances.

Farm Notes.
Keeping Hams In Summer.

A writer in the Rural New Yorker
explains his method as follows AT
ter they have been properly salted
and smoked, put each in common
muslin sack-I make mine of flour
sacks or cheap brown muslin, and as
nearly the shape of the ham as can
roughly block it out, but they are
never perfect fits. Then stitch
firm loop made of scrap of cotton
folded and stitched at one end; have
your sacks large enough at the open
side so that after the ham is in, you
can fold the open edges over well
and sew tightly
Now have ready a tub or big
bucket of slaked lime that is creamy
in thickness and warm enough to
penetrate cotton easily; put wire
90 k in the loop on the sack and dip
the latter up and down with the
ham in it of course) several times in
the lime water until you are sure the
pores of cloth are filled with the
lime. Hang them up in the air until
perfectly dry, then lay or hang away
anywhere that is convenient. We
use an unoccupied upstairs room. l
have kept hams in this way and have
had many people-several fine
judges-declare they had never eaten
such delicious meat. or course good
meat depends. first on sailing and
smoking. but there is no better way
to keep it afterwards than this. II
you choose to take the trouble to rip
instead of cutting these sacks off,
you can use them several years and
thus avoid the trouble of making
fresh each year.

WOnan'S World.
FLOOR OIL CLOTH.
Renew the Gloss with Iinseed OIL or
Skim-m milk

Skim-milk.
Many housekeepers like an oilcloth
for dining-room floor, but unless
taken good care of it will soon wear
out or at least lose its beauty.
Never use soap in the water when
cleaning oilcloth. 1t fades the colors
and breaks up the paint. Ammonia
also is to be avoided. because it gives
the cloth a dull dead look. If a
brush is used, it should be a soft one
but it is better not to use any, ex-
cept in case when the oilcloth has
been long neglected or poorly washed
for some time previously, Take a
clean flannel cloth and apply clean
warm water, which is finally to be
removed by soaking it up into the
house flannel again after it has been
wrung out The oilcloth is then
wiped dry with another piece of clean
flannel.
After the oilcloth has become
thoroughly dry apply to it some
warm linseed oil. The housekeeper
who tries this for the first time will
probably use too much and make the
cloth so sticky that every particle of
dust will adhere to it. Only very
little is to be used and slightly
rubbed into the cloth, giving it n
handsome gloss. Skim.milk is some
times used in place of oil and gives
the cloth beautiful gloss.
Too frequent washing, no matter
how well it is done, will not improve
oilcloth in the end. Usually this is
the kind of treatment it receives, for
few housewives seem to realize the
difference between dusty oilcloths
and dirty one, and treat both the
same. After it has had q thorough
sweeping, if it looks dull and dusty,
60 over it q little at time with a
dry mop cloth, and it will look as
bright as though washed and will
wear great deal longer.

DIR. r. W. Richardson says that
the first words of most physicians
when they enter sickrooms in private
houses should be Goethes dying ex-
clamation: More light More
lightp 1t certainly is true that gen.
orally before the doctor can get a
good look at the patient he has to
ask that the curtains be raised in
order that the rays of a much greater
healer than the ablest physician may
ever hope to be may be admitted.
If the patients eyes are so affected
that they cannot bear the light a
little ingenuity will suffice to screen
them, and at the same time allow
the cheerful light to enter. A dark
sickroom must be an uncheerful one,
and now that it is known that light
is one of the most potent OF microbe-
killers let us have it in abundance.
Why should people behave as if they
were quite sure the patient were
about to die? In the matter of abun-
dant light, hospital wards are more
salubrious than most private sick
rooms, for light not only Stays bac-
terra, but cheers the mind. To ac-
count for the darkened room that
is such an ordinary accompaniment
of illness that it may be said to be
firmly built into English literature,
we must go back hundreds of years,
when patient who was sick, say on
''fourposter" bedstead, was tightly
inclosed with red curtains-that
color, through some unaccountable
superstitions, being thought to have
occult potency over disease. Old
superstitions die hard, and it will
yet require years of education, and
the united efforts of doctor and
nurse, to let in Gods first created
gift to man to the rooms that it will
warm and brighten and purify as
as nothing else can.

WEDDING OUT.
Test, Measure and Weight. Discard I'm
profitable Animals.

The most careful attention should
be given to wedding out inferior
milk-producers., In this work the
eye should not pity The folly of
keeping on poor or even Indifferent
performer in the dairy from year to
year is only equaled by that of try
ing to make beef at profit from
scrub. Why in the name of reason
should a man be content with herd
averaging but $500 pounds of milk
per animal in year when it is easily
possible to secure one that will aver
age 5000 pounds year, or even
more? The most successful dairy
man will in all probability be the
man who keeps scales in his stable
and who weighs daily the milk of
each COW, or who does so at least
once a week. The actual perform
ance of each animal can then be OBJ
tanned with great accuracy, and con-
sequently their real value absolutely
and relatively to the dairyman.
Cows that fail to breed regularly
should at once be discarded after q
reasonable trial, and without much
preparation for the shambles. The
same course should be adopted with
old COWS which have outlived their
usefulness. Usually the best return
can be obtained for them when they
are sent to the block by the most di-
rect road, but at some seasons of the
year when pastures are plentiful it
may be well to give them something
of a finish on the grass. These re-
marks, it should be remembered, ap-
ply to cows of the purely dairy type.

Poultry.

A good corn crop will produce not
less than two tons of actual digesti-
BILE food material per acre, or more
than twice as much as a heavy hay
crop.
Chickens cannot be crowded in
large flocks without breeding disease.
Chicks to reach two pounds weight
when ten weeks old must be from
the large breeds, and must at no
time become chilled.
Nothing could be more cruel than
tying hen by the leg to keep her
from roaming with her brood. 1t
costs very little time to make small
house and yard for her.
Keep the hen shut up for one to
three weeks before allowing her to
roam with her brood. Where small
yards are used one week is long
enough, but where hens have farm
range we prefer the longer period.
The characteristics and excellences
of domestic animals of all kinds,
poultry included, are the result of
care and environment One can't
get an oat trot out of thistle diet,
nor need a good winter layer be ex-
pected when frozen combs and
scrub care rule in o poultry yard.

Never go-to bed with cold or damp

Never go-to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never lean with the back upon
anything that is cold.
After exercise of any kind never
ride in an open carriage or near the
window of car for moment; it is
dangerous to health or even life.
Never begin journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
When hoarse speak as little as pos
sible until the hoarseness is recovered

During the Crisis Ss,OOO,O 900 Was With
drawn from the Banks.
Los ANGELES, CAL, June 22.-The
financial situation is more encouraging,
$3.50, 600 IN coin was received yesterday
after business hours and the Farmers
aud Merchants bank this morning re-
seived $3.50, GOO more, opening its doors
With over 81 900, 900 in its vaults, which
IS believed to be more than enough to
meet all demands. 1t is estimated that
IS, OC0, 900 was withdrawn from the banks
during the crisis. So far there has been
no mercantile failures.
Everything was quiet and peaceful in
banking circles all of today. There was
but slight run on the Los Angeles Ma
tlonal bank as the line of depositors was
greater than that of the withdrawers, and
there was quiet at all the other banks.
Confidence is restored and good many
people who withdrew funds have depos-
tied them. All banks received large
sums of money, and even the six closed
banks received some.
President Elliott of the First National
bank made statement in which he said
that the bank would resume business as
soon as the bank examiner arrived and
gave his sanction. 1t is expected that the
other banks will soon resume except, pos
sibly, the City bank which is in the
hands of a receiver.

All Plans for Reorganization Have
Been Abandoned.
PHILADELPHIA, June 22.-The board of
managers OF the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad today decided to abandon
the plan for a rehabilitation of the com
pany because OF the required number OF
assents from the general mortgage bond
holders ana shareholders not being OBJ
tanned. The total assents were 356, OCO OF
the general mortgage bonds, about
SIG, 0O0, 600 short and Al ,21S shares of
stock, 68, 1872 short. An official of the
company said after the meeting that q
foreclosure is now regarded as inevitable
President Harris this afternoon issued
statement to the security holders In part
as follows:
The board Of managers regret to an
nounce that the plan OF readJustment OF
May q has failed to receive the assent of
holders of the requisite number of shares
and obligations of the company. BY the
terms of the plan it was provided that il
assent of the requisite number, including
over &C per cent. of the general mortgage
bonds, and 60 per cent. of the shares
should not be secured by the 21st of June,
| the subscribers to the proposed collateral
trust bonds and general mortgage coupon
certificates would be closed. SubscIip-
| tions were made upon this condition, and
as it is not possible at the present time
to have such subscriptions renewed or
extended, the plan must now be ADAM
doned and the subscriptions released.
| 1t is possible that many friends OF the
company in this city and New York who
united in asking that holders of outstand-
ling shares and securities be given till
| after July 1st, when the general mort
gage interest will mature, may be correct
in thinking that the requisite number OF
assents would thereby be secured, but
the subscription to the proposed is
sues of collateral trust bonds and coupon
trust certificates would also be required,
and this cannot be made up.
The managers adopted a resolution re-
leasing the subscribers to the proposed
issue OF collateral trust bonds and general
mortgage coupon trust certificates; also:
discharging from all liability the genera
mortgage bond holders and share holders
who have assented to the plan.

BELL OF '93.
1t Was Successfully Cast at Troy ON
Yesterday.
The Metal of Which 1t Is Made Comprised
OF Patriotic Material, and Mater
iaI of Historic Interest.

TROY, N. Y, June pat s:15 this
evening Miss Eugenia P. Meneely,
daughter of Clinton H. Meneely let loose
flood OF metal at her fathers foundry,
which when cool will be the liberty bell
of this country. The molten mass
that flowed at her command
was composed of patriotic material
implements of warfare material of most
historic interest, swords that have been
used in battle, metal identified with every
progress of invention and science, re-
membranes and love gifts too precious to
be trusted by mortal looking forward to
death in any other place except the Col
umbian liberty bell.
1t was originally intended that Mrs.
Cleveland should touch the button at
Gray Gables whereby the electrical ap-
paratus at the foundry would be set in
motion, releasing the metal from the
furnace, but Mrs. Cleveland is in poor
health and could not venture out in the
storm which prevailed at BuzZard's bay.
When the bell is cool enough, it will be
made ready for transportation to Chicago.
1t is proposed that the bell shall ring at
each sunrise and sunset; at 9 o. clock in
the morning on the anniversary days
marking great events in the worlds pro-
gress toward liberty; at II O'Clock on
birthdays of creators of liberty" and
at O'Clock it will tell of the anniver-
series of their death.

CURRENCY FOR CALIFORNIA
Transferred from New York in
a Simple Manner.
SEVERAL BANK FAILURES.
The Financial Outlook in Los Angeles
Much Improved.
All the Banks There Are Now in Shape to
Take Care OF AL Demands, and
1t Is Believed That the
Crisis Is Passed.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Extensive ship
ments of money by telegraph from New
York to San Francisco were made Today
by direction of United States Treasurer
Morgan. The bank failures yesterday on
the Pacific coast evidently spurred the
banks to increase the supply OF ready
money to meet any emergency that may
arise. This money was transferred IN
simple manner.
A bank in San Francisco telegraphs Its
New York correspondent to place In the
sub treasury at New York given sum OF
money to its credit to be sent to the San
Francisco bank. The sub-treasurer at
New York telegraphs the sub-treasurer at
San Francisco to credit the bank with a
given amount of mouey. The San Fran
cisco bank thus saves express charges and
the government, which receives gold for
the money it transfers by telegraph,
builds up its gold. 1t is a mutual ar
rangement by which both the banks and
the government are benefited.

Proceedings of Their Grand Lodge In
Session at Detroit.
DETROIT, June 22.-Most of the morn
ing session of the Elks' grand lodge was
taken up with consideration of changes
in the bylaws, and several new ones were
adopted. An hour or more was then
given up to the report of the committee
on grievances. After some twenty Elks
whose names had been dropped from the
rolls were reinstated, balloting for
officers for the ensuing year began.
Lashley Aperly, of Louisville, KY, was
elected grand exalted ruler by a vote of ITO
to SO for Perry Williams, of Brooklyn.
Then the fight over the secretaryship
began. Besides Allen E. Myers, the
present incumbent, John w. White, of
Chicago, Al Fleming of Buffalo. Peter
Rush, of Detroit, and Jas. 3. Cook, OF
Fleming and Cook withdrew in behalf of
Rush, and balloting commenced. The
ballot resulted in the reelection of Myers.
a law was passed prohibiting any lodge
or club, or society associated with any
lodge, from conducting or countenancing
any gaming for money or lottery scheme
in any form. Insurance schemes in con-
nection with subordinate lodges were also
forbidden. The per capita tax is raised
to rs per cent to meet grand lodge ex-
penses. The matter of place for hold
ing the next grand lodge communication
was referred TO a board of trustees. The
meeting adjourned tonight
