The Newton Enterprise wants to
know If secretary Of the interior, Hoke
Smith, remembers the trick played on
him by the miller of MOTIFS mill at
LlnColntOn when he was accustomed to

A spirit of honorable rivalry is
commendable, and ususally results in
good. The object of Fair, or exhibit
Of agricultural products, is to awaken
this spirit and lead each farmer to do
better than his neighbor, and in this
way it does good. In addition to this,
it enables everybody to see what every
body else is doing. We believe it
would be of great benefit if our people
would visit each other and examine
each others methods and see what
each other is doing. A man who
never goes anywherere and never
reads, does not know what is being
done he gets no new ideas, but fol-
lows IN the old ruts and never gets
anywhere. We want to have in War

THE AUSTRALIA
Arrives in San Francisco and Reports
No Change.
No Intention Indicated on the Part of the
United States Government to Insist Up
on the Restoration of the Queen
Minister Willis Address.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 20.-The steam
ship Australia from Honolulu arrived
inside the Golden Gate at $40 o'clock
Saturday forenoon. She brought the
news from Honolulu that there had
been no change in the political situa-
ton. The new United States minister,
Willis, presented his credential to Pres
ident Dole of the provisional govern
ment and had not indicated prior to
the departure of the Australia any in
tention on the part of the United
States government to insist upon the
restoration of Queen Liliuokalani
HONOLULU, Nov. 11.-But little of a
definite nature has transpired since ad-
vices by the steamer China were sent.
Perhaps the most significant was one
of the remarks of Minister Willis, when
he presented his crendentials on the
7th instant together with the reply of
President Dole.
Minister Willis remarks were as fol-
lows:
MIR PREsIDENT-Mr. Blount, the
late envoy extraordinary of the United
States to your government, having re-
signed his Office while bsent from his
post, / have the honor to now present
his letter of recall and to express for
him his sincere regret that he is una BILE
in person to make known his continued
good wishes on behalf of your people
and his grateful appreciation of the
many courtesies both personal and Off
cial, of which while here he was the
honored recipient. desire at the same
time to place in your hands a letter
accrediting me as his successor. In
doing this l am directed by the
president to give renewed assurance
of friendship, interest and hearty
good will which our government
entertains for you and for the
people of this island realm Invoking
that spirit of peace, friendship and
hospitality which has ever been the
shield and sword of this country, now,
upon behalf of the United States of
America, tender to your people the
right hand of good will, which l trust
may be as lasting, as l know it to be
sincere, expressing the hope that every
year will promote and perpetuate that
good will to the honor, huppiness and
prosperity of both govefnments.

BLOUNT'S REPORT.
Testimony Taken by Him at Honolulu
Minister stevens Blamed.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-Special Com
missioner Blount's report, including the
testimony taken by him at Honolulu,
was made public Sunday by the state
department. Among the papers was a
long interview had by the commission
er with w. S. A. Damon, who is presi-
dent of the advisory counsel of the pro-
visional government
He said he was one of the men who
went up to the government house on
Monday afternoon, January II, to read
the proclamation declaring the queen
deposediand new governmentiin control.
He said the queens ministers prac-
tically gave up at the first visit.
They said if they had only the forces
of the provisional government to con-
tend with-the forces of the provisional
government to fght-they would not
surrender. They thought they could
meet the emergency as far as the pro-
visional government was concerned,
but were willing to yield if the queen
was
1t was the queens idea that she could
surrender, pending a settlement at
Washington, and it was on that condi.
tion that she gave up. He said he
knew it was the queens idea that Mr..
Stevens was in sympathy with the
movement. The queen reluctantly
signed the abdication, and did so on
the ground that it would all come up
again for review at Washington.
Commissioner Blount had long in.
teryiew with Mr.. Waterhouse. who
was also a member of the committee
on safety. and who though also an un.
willing witness, corroborated Mr.. Da.
mon in most of his statements.
The fact that Mr.. Stevens recognized
the new government forces before il
was in possession of the station house,
and before the abdication of the queen,
this recognition being used as a weapon
to intimidate the queen, is shown by
an affidavit of Charles L. Hopkins, who
carried letter from Antoine Ross tc

A Singular Death.

Perhaps the most remarkable death
from fear was that of the Dutch painter,
Pentman, who lived in the seventeenth
century. One day he went into room
full of anatomical subjects to sketch
some death heads and skeletons for a pic
ture he intended to paint. The weather
was very sultry. and while sketching he
fell asleep. He was aroused by bones
dancing around him. and the skeletons
suspended from the ceiling clashed to-
gether.
In fit of horror he threw himself out
of the window. and though he sustained
no serious injury and was informed that
slight earthquake had caused the COM
motion among his ghastly surroundings
he died in few days in nervous tremor.

ran along the far side of the string Of
ponies, which had never stirred from

80 feet, but the ponies rather bothered

"Then we all gathered round the wom-

bruised by their rough ride and very tired
neither had been seriously hurt. The
Indians, they told us, had never stopped
at all except for few seconds at time,
when changing them from their tired
ponies to fresher ones, but they had
tasted neither food nor drink since leav-
ing camp.
1--WE had with us, as you know, only
little hard bread, but even this the
girls ate eagerly, and as we had plenty
of water they felt strong enough after
few hours rest to start on the return
journey. So, you see, we've all got back
safe and sound and are richer by some
experience, not to count 10 good ponies,
than we were yesterday"
''Joe Wilkinson's whole team to talk,
and no mistake" said Frank Austin,
"but he's forgotten to tell you that ]
wouldn't have got out Of that fight quite
SO easily if he hadn't helped a little. Just
as was bringing my rifle barrel down
on the head of that Indian the other one
made lunge at me with his knife and
would have cut my heart sure if Joe
hadn't caught the blade in the fleshy
part Of his own arm and thus given me
time to get hold of the fellows throat,

"Another trifle, too, he has not men

completely down through fatigue and
my husband was worn out carrying me,
Mr.. Wilkinson took me on his own sad

"And maybe wasn't glad of the
chancel" muttered the gallant Joe in q
half audible aside.
"But how did Miss Douglas get alongY'
some one inquired.
"Oh, thunder" laughed Secord, "she
didn't try to get along. All the Indians
in Arizona couldn't have got her away
from Austin. He just carried her like a
baby till we got within five miles of
camp. But she didn't go to sleep-not

blushing girl beat a precipitate retreat,

and-well, I'll expect you all to attend a
wedding when we get to white mans
country, if we don't happen to meet a
real live parson on the road any sooner"
That very thing we did three days aft
erward, however, and very jolly party
of witnesses saw Miss Helen Douglas
transformed into Mrs. Frank Austin,

bachelors assumed a joy they did not feel.

"On and ON came the reds to within 80
yards of the blind path leading into the

walk. We'd already covered the lead
ing five with our rifles, and when they'd
got 10 yards closer we heard Kits
whistle, soft and low as blackbird's

five Indians ever heard in this world, for
