An instance Of special contracts is found
in the case Of the steamship Wellington,

which offered to tow her to an anchorage

The Wellington signaled to her and asked
to be towed to San Francisco. The Yelling

manded for the service, and she was &C
cOrdingly towed to San Francisco.
The owners of the Wellington endeavored

On The WurDath.

VANCOUVER, B. G., March 14.-The
steamer CoQuitlam returned this afternoon
from a halibut fishing cruise in the
northern waters of British Columbia.
She brings further news OF an exciting
nature regarding the Indian troubles re
sultlng from the massacre of the Bella
Bella Indians by the KI,katlas on Sor
row island some months ago. While
fishing off Banks island, near the mouth of
Skeen river, anoe-load of kitkatlss
were spoken. When asked why they
were going home so far out from shore
and by such round abont way they
stated that thev wanted to escape from
the Bella Be.las, who were in pursuit.
A few days after two canoes full OF Bella
Bellas, 80 in all, came alongside. There
were no women In the canoes, so it was
evident that they were ON the warpath
The men were all armed to the teeth
with Winchester rifles and knives
They boarded the COquitLdm and went al!
over her, evidentaliy searching to see If
their foes, the Kitkatlss, had taken re
fuge on board. The crew of the COquat-
lam were unarmed and feared trouble if
they resisted the search. so they allowed
them to look all over the vessel. The
Indians stated that war had been
declared between the two tribes and a
battle had already been fought, IN which
two men were killed and several wound

The Cleveland administration ap-
pears to be following conservative
policy regarding the annexation of
Hawaii, aud this is advisable. Area
is not wanted by the government, for
the flag floats over sufficient territory
no Y, and as much as can be properly
governed and developed. The strength
of free institutions does not consist in
broad acres, uncultivated; but in q
wealthy, prosperous people. and in the
enjoyment Of equal rights by all
classes. If the Sandwich Islands and
West Indies were annexed to the
United States, the country would be
larger. but not better than 1t Is at pres
ent. There are vast regions in the
republic unfurrowed by the pillow and
in as wild state as when the eborig-
ines roamed over them, monarchs of
all they surveyed. There is IN abun.
dance of land In the northwest for the
thrifty and industrious, and until this
is settled and cultivated there is no
necessity for any further acquisition of
territory. Several decades will elapse
before there will be an excess of popu-
lation in this portion of the new world,
and until this happens the object of
craftsmanship should be to better the
condition Of citizens, and not to secure
dominion over people with whom there
can be but little assimilation.

acts, devoted himself to their reform
alton. Impulsive in disposition, and
peculiarly emotional in religious be-
lief, the Gaelic Celts have made the
Christian missionary the national hero.
Intertwined with the solemn mass
customary on st. Patrick's day, the
Irishman, while kneeling at the sacred
altar, will dream of the dawn of that
era when Ireland shall take her posi-
tion in the family of nations. The
sprig of the native shamrock will ap-
pear brighter when he thinks OF Irish
Independence, and its everlasting green
will be emblematic of that nndying
love and fealty to native land which
he carries with him to every country,
locked securely in the secret chambers
of his heart. HIS country may not
gain that freedom to which she Ia
entitled for long decades; but on the
recurrence of st. Patrick's day his
step will be lighter, his heart more
buoyant, and hope will point with il
lumined finger to that time in the fu.
ture when Celt and Saxon and Nor
man shall breathe alike Gods pure air
of equal freedom.

Jones ON silver.

NEW YORK, March I4-Senator John P.
Jones, who is at the Grand hotel, says that
he does not expect to see harmony exist dur.
ing the next year between the administration
and the senate regarding the financial ques-
ton. He said:
"The treasury department and the
United States senate do not agree on the
gold and silver questions, and naturally I
look for friction. am not familiar with Mr.
Cleveland's financial policy, but do not
think that he is especially pleased because the
senate finance committee has majority in ia
vor of silver. The committee is in favor Of a
silver policy, and after carefully looking over
theground do not think that the next con-
gress will pass the Sherman repeal bill. The
scare we had recently was newly manufac
tured article; it was of a kind / never before
heard of. Heretofore all financial scares
have been brought about when money was
scarce; and the panic did some harm. The
recent gold scare was shouted about and
forced ubon the people when money could be
had in abundance, and no harm was done.
There was no occasion for scare. One
kind Of money is as good as another to the
American people so long as we are not on a
single basis If we come to gold standard
of course we shall need more gold, but it
would not cause much relief to issue few
bonds. All we want is plenty of money to
carry on business and pay good wages; and
we have that money in silver"

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

1t makes little difference at this age
of the world whether the patron saint
of ireland, the good st. Patrick, was
born in Scotland or Gaul, or whether
the 17th of March was the date of his
birth or death, the day is a national
one for the members of the Celtic race
claiming Ireland as their birthplace,
and as such is commemorated all over
the world. Around it clusters the
hopes and expectations of arce Of
people who have been exiled from their
native land for long years, and who,
amidst all their wanderings, look long
ingly towards the green hills and verdi
ant plains of their emerald isle. In the
work of Christianlzing this once savage
race of people the reyered saint per-
formed noble work; and as church
festival, the day will always be OBJ
served wherever Catholicism has Q
foothold. The honor of being the first
converts to the Christian religion in
the British islands undoubtedly
belongs to the Irish, and in this
they cannot but associate him who, by

The Panama scandal has shaken the
French republic to its very center, and
the mercurial disposition of the people
always comes to the surface during
such occasions. Count De Lesseps and
his son have been sentenced to long
terms of Imprisonment and heavy fines.
and the trial of others implicated
in the Panama canal frauds still con-
tinue. While republics guarantee the
greatest freedom to citizens, it by no
means follow that these ferns of self
governments are free from frauds and
peculations. Where each one feels
himself part of the government, it
would appear that the people would
practice the highest degree of patriot
ism; but this is not always true. Sell
fish ends are uppermost with republi-
cans as with monarchists, and the
Panama canal frauds are only illustra-
tive of this element in active operation
in France as it is in other countries
Human nature is the same everywhere,
and there can be no reason for free in
stitutions to be doomed in that coun-
try because some of its citizens have
been proved dishonest. Purge the
body polite of these destructive infiu-
ences, and the ship of state will again
right itself and sail over summer seas.

War Of the Races.

MILNEsvILLE, Pa, March 16 There
is more trouble between Italians anc
Hungarians of this vicinity. There was
race war in October and 10 men were
shot. Many of the men lett this place
after the trouble. Four Huugarians
were assaulted last night by a mob of Ital
ians just as they reached Fishers, near
HaleIgh hill. In the fight weapons of al
kinds Were uesd. Several shots were
fired. The Hupesrlaps were outnum
bered. Three of them were stabbed, the
fourth was knocked senseless with club
One of the Italians was wounded When
the news of the attack reached the Hun
garlan a general uprising was at once
planned. Fearing repetition of the
fall riots, some of the citizens induced
them to go to their homes. They did go,
but are only waiting for an opportunity
to retaliate, and 1t Is feared that before a
settlement can be effected there will be a
battle,
