And it follows no less surely that a cross wom

from her society.

Mrs. Pratt is in usual health and was able
TO attend the funeral of her neice, Mrs.
Walker, at West Brattleboro last Saturday.
Mr.. Pratt is quite inlirm. In our interview
with them we called attention to the excel
lent paper on the early history of Newfane
which appeared in The Phoenix, July 8,
1892. In that article attention is called to
the list of collegiates as published in the
history of Newfane and the name of Ben

They furnish an additional name, that of
Aaron Crosby Fisher, son Of Simon and
Mary Crosby Fisher, and only grandson
of the Rev. Aaron Crosby of that town,

PUTIN Ely.
The Town Finances.

The auditors report has been DELAYED,
but is now nearly ready for issue. 1t will
show that the debt has been decreased
Sll9l. This is the true decrease, and the
personal property on the town farm being
included in the resources of the town, the
apparent decrease of SPOTS is avoided. The
difference is in the valuation of $l123 last
year and 1896 this year, 1887. The wind
fall of $500 helped good deal. The cost
of roads has been S1lS7, for the support of
poor, including running the town farm,
S6S7, and the town officers received S267.
The school districts received $3.50, and
each district also had $3.50 from the five
per cent tax money. Putney received more
than she paid There is due the school
districts 1913. On the tax bill for 1892,
5000 have been collected, of which but
S22 was collected by the constable, and
there is uncollected less than Sl3. All
back taxes have been paid, and only 81
has been abated. Eighty cents will prob
ably be enough tax for next year; this
year we raised one hundred cents, which
included everything.

GREATLY WORRIES THEM.
President Cleveland and Secretary
reSI1am in Conference

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. - Twenty-four
hours of reflection on the failure of the
Australia to bring news of the successful
execution of the administration programme
for monarchical restoration in Hawaii
tends to increase rather than lessen
the discontinue of President Cleveland
and Secretary of State Gresham. The
vexatiou grows at Minister Willis
unlocked for neglect to perform the moral
duty Of upsetting friendly and inde-
pendent republic and Government and
restoring to power a debased and degraded
monarchy, for they perceive that every
hour of INDIGESTION and inaction will render
doubly difficult the task of executing the
''coup d'etat" planned for the benefit OF
the deposed Hawaiian Queen.
Minister Willis unexplained hesitation,
as the President sees il. will give the
needed time to the Provisional Govern
ment at Honolulu to fortify itself against
any merely diplomatic pressure which
may be brought to bear to displace its
authority. while advices received from
this country describing the almost
unanimous protest Of public opin-
ion against the administration on
the royalist programme will confirm
the moral courage IF the Provisional
Government TO struggle with desperation
against the successful execution Of an
alleged American policy which they feel is
already heartily condemned by the vast
majority of American citizens, with Con-
gress about to assemble which is ap-
parently hostile TO the administration pro-
ject, and with popular sentiment setting
more and more vigorously against the en-
ployment by this Government of an armed
force ior so foolish purpose as the re-
storation of a half savage, half burlesque
Queen.

ALL READY FOR SEA.
The Nichteroy Tested and Loaded
With Ammunition.

NEW YORK, Nov 19.-Tue Brazilian
ship Nictheroy is now ready for sea. 1t is
possible she may get off tonight. If not
she will sail tomorrow sure. Minister
Mendonca has been aboard to-day, and Is
of the opinion that if the Nictheroy hap
pens to encounter one of Mello's fOrmid-
able warships, such as the AQuidaban,
she will be sunk sure.
He thinks, however, the Nictheroy can
avoid such a meeting and is competent to
go against Mello's weaker vessels. 1t il
thought Mello will have no show against
the force the Brazilian Government now
have on land aud sea.
just before the moon went to bed be-
hind the hills this morning the slumbering
Staten Islanders were awakened by the
report of giant gun. They tumbled out
of their couches and peered into the dark
ness enfolding the upper bay. As they
looked, two more reports followed one an
other in quick succession. There was 40
fash in the gloom, and no evidence of the
Whereabouts of the gun.
These reports resulted from the test of
the big dynamite gun aboard the Brazil
lian man-of-war Nictheroy. lying off
Liberty Island. The tests were in charge
of B. C. Batchellor and were satisfactory
in every way. At daybreak lighter, in
tow of the tug Wallace B. Flint. tied up to
the Nicther0y and unloaded a cargo of
ammunition in the form OF dynamite, COM

of-war at shutdown. Soon after his arrival
the gun was Il ade ready and six shots
were fired. After the tests Captain Zaliu-
ski said he was greatly pleased with the
work OF the gun.
"Will you go with Nictheroy when she
sails?' he was asked.
Il got back from Washington this morn.
Ing" said Zalinski. 81 asked the author
tiles at Washington for leave of absence
but my request was not granted. l shall
not go to Brazil with the Nictheroy."
Yet Captain Zalinski, with several other
gentlemen, will leave this port aboard the
NictherOy. 1t was said by an officer of
the ship that the Nictheroy would loiter
about American waters for forty-eight
hours after she left this city.
In that time it is expected that Captain
Zalinski and his mpanions will be able
to work wonders in training and instruct
ing the men aboard the ship. They
will leave the ship at the ex-
piration of forty-eight hours, so their trip
will be counted as nothing more than a
voyage of peace. 1t is probable that the
Nictheroy will touch first at Key West,
her orders containing instructions to
touch at two United States ports before
going 10 Brazil.

HAS WILLIS WEAKENED ?
Why He Did Not Restore the
Queen

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-It had been the
chief fear of friends of the Provisional
Government of Hawaii In this country,
and in its ignorance of public sentiment
here, and in the first shock of threatened
action by the United States. that it would
yield its authority. The fact is, however,
for some time past the Provisional Gov
eminent had abandoned all hope of favor
able action by the present administration
toward annexation and had been consider
ing the means to put itself on perma-
neDt footing. 1t may be the public and
press have come to a wrong conclusion as
to the extent of Minister Willis instruc-
tions. They supposed Secretary Gres-
hams letter declaring what he thought
ought TO be done and President Cleve-
lands declaration that he agreed with the
Secretary's opinions meant they had de-
termined to proceed accordingly.
Yet some people believe the publication
must have been intended as an appeal to
public opinion for information as to a
course TO pursue. 1t Is considered the
chancbes of any action by Minister Willis
to restore the Queen will be much lessened
after the news of the reception accorded
Secretary Gresham's letter from this coun-
try Is read in the islands. The first news
of Secretary Greshsm's letter ought tc
reach Honolulu by the steamer which left
Vancouver Thursday OF the one that left
San Francisco Friday. but last Sunday or
Monday chartered steamer is said
TO have left San francisco for Hon olulu,
having on board newspapermen and
doubtless also some communication from
Minister Thursidh to his Government.
This chartered steamer should arrive, it is
claimed. at Honolulu to-day or tomorrow.
This would be after the next steamer to
arrive at San Francisco sailed for
Honolulu.
A prominent Democratic Senator, a
member OF the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. who declined to permit the use of
his name, said tonight: ut seems very
clear 10 me that Willis has encountered a
state of affairs which he had not been led
to expect. The inference is justified that
when Minister Willis discovered the feel
ing of the intelligent people of the islands
is favorable to the present Government he
weakened in his determination to reseat
the Queen. If. indeed. the Dole admins
tratlOn displayed determination to main
tain its position by force of arms, there

To have persisted in landing marines for
the purpose of forcing change in the
Government would have been an act of
war, pure and simple. and no sane man
can believe Presideat Cleveland ever con-
templaed such move as that"
The same Senator expressed a view that
the islands ought to be annexed to the
United States. and said their management
could be made simple and easy by const-
tuting them part of the State of Cali

The damage caused by the lombard
ment is already enormous. Nictheroy has
almost been completely destroyed by the

THE STRANDED RAFT.
Great Destruction to the Government
Jetty Done by 1t.

MARsHFIELD, Or, Nov. 19.-Advices re-
ceived to-day from the big raft, which
went aground yesterday, are to the effect
that Captain Roberts of the tug Ranger
was compelled to cut the hawser with
which he was holding on TO the raft.
There is yet hope Of saving the raft, and
Captain Roberts will make another at
tempt in the morning.
The raft lies on the north side of the
jetty. of which about 500 feet has been
torn away. At the after end of the raft
about 200 piles are out and about twenty
FIVE at the forward end. A number of
chains are loose on both ends.
