several men were killed. Three of tho
men killed are in Will county, and two
others are lying in the bushes just across

All are Hungarians, Poles, Slavonians or
SWedes
A large body Of negroes employed on
the works refused to strike and remained

An examination Of official records shows
that the insecurity Of the building was
brought to the attention of congress In a
pointed manner as far back as 1885. At
tention was then directed simply to the
safety OF the army medical library and
museum. Protection OF human life was
not especially brought In question. The
result of that action was the building Of
the Army Medical museum near the
National museum. AS soon as Secretary

The Sentimental Side of the Hawaiian
PrOblem.


From Blue and Gray.
Until all the inside facts are known we
do not propose to criticise the course of
the administration too severely No one
can doubt the courage and patriotism Of
Mr.. Cleveland, but he is. perhaps. as likely
to err as some other human beings. Mr..
Gresham is something of a conundrum. He
enjoys that degree of popularity which
properly belongs to a public man whose
convictions. like q railroad timetable, are
subject to change without notice." but II
Is difficult to believe that he has reached a
point where the spectacle Of . monarchy
re-established by our armed marines to
the tune OF the Star Spangled Banner
would be entirely in accordance with his
latest revised views.
Whether the assumption made by the
Secretary that the queen was deposed by
means Of the power of our arms be true or
not-and few Americans believe this YER
sion-the fact remains that civilization and
the cause Of freedom demand that the
weak, corrupt monarchy be never restored.
Precedents and courtesy must not i'm
pede the march OF progress and interna-
tional laws must be freshly made. as the
worlds good may require. The civilized
Caucasian must rule the savage. who may
regain supremacy through the force OF
numbers only when he, too. becomes civil
ized. The idea that a monarchy shall be
aided or abetted In Hawaii simply because
q majority of the Inhabitants are thought
to desire II is carrying the idea of majority
rule to a point where II is not conducive
TO the best interests Of the natives nor the
welfare Of the white population. Almost
as well to assert that the people Of the
thirteen colonies should have consulted the
Indians when their representatives met in
Carpenters Hall to frame the first Consti-
tuition. But all this contention is absurd.
Every one believes that the provisional
government of Hawaii should be supported
and the queen forever relegated to obscur-
ity. and that the services of the United
States are at the disposal Of President Dole
to carry out this program. We respect
fully give notice to whom ii may concern
that any radical departure from this policy
any active movement in a sontrary d.
rection-will bring down upon the offenders
a cyclone of wrath. compared to which the
recent popular protest was like a summer
zephyr.

A Crop Which Needs Harvesting but
Once Every Four Years.

A Crop Which Needs Harvesting but
Once Every Four Years.
In beautiful sweep Of lowland north of
Melvale station the Northern Central
railroad. and about nine miles from Balti-
more. there Is a peculiar farm. 1t Is pecu-
mar In that 1t renders to its owner and tiller
out one crop In four years, and that a crop
OF willow shoots. The farmer, Antoine
Spath. came from Frankfort Germany,
many years ago. and after erecting himself
a comfortable stone house, which still stands
In the midst of q picturesque clump of will
lows. at the end of the little valley, set
about planting his first crop of willow
shoots. Every year since he has gone on
planting row after row until the valley has
become covered with them. Spath had
learned the art of weaving willow ware in
his boyhood days by the shores of the river
Main. and as fast as his little plantation
grew he gathered the shoots, stripped them
or their green outer covering and, after
drying them. wove baskets Of every con-
ceivable form or size.
1T seems rather peculiar work in this
country" said the willow farmer to a re-
porter for the American, speaking Of his
business, but In all parts of Europe, es-
pecially in the German provinces, it is a
very common thing to find willow planta-
tions and willow weavers. for there willow
ID used In many forms and for q greater
number OF purposes than / find 1t used in
this country. In Germany and France will

different kinds of bird cages, while in
America metal Is used-brass or iron wire
and different woods. Among the best fami-
lies In European countries cradles, woven
by German workers. may be found con-
structed entirely of willow. Then there
are hundred and one shapes Of marketing
baskets, baskets used by milliners and laun-
dresses. baskets and panniers to be carried
upon the backs of man and beasts for hold
Ing fish and fowl. In preparing the willow
for the weaver we plant the slips In long
rows parallel with a running stream Of
water. and cut them when they have at
tained four years Of growth. The cutting
time Is early in the spring before the sap is
done running. and after tying them in
bundles they are placed in ponds Of water
TO Keep them In a green state until ready
for stripping. Stripping the willow Is ac-
complished by drawing the switches through
ana between two heavy iron stanchions.
whose edges peel the light green bark from
the white heart, and then, after drying or
curing them upon long racks we have got
the willow In form for the weaver, 1t Was

Willows before anyone thought Of imitating
my example. but now there are several
other plantations located upon the Wash
ington and Annapolis roads, and though you
may nnd quite as busy scenes there, you
Will scarcely find a more picturesque place
than this anywhere, and that was one of
'he reasons that led me to settle here"

RESULT OF A "PERsONAL.~
The Romantic Marriage of . New
York Editor and q virginia Girl.

York Editor and q Virginia Girl.
A romantic marriage took place at Pro-
hibition Park, Staten Island. shortly before
midnight on Saturday. The bridegroom was
Hans Panser, assistant editor Of The Liter
ary Digest. printed in Astor Place. New
York. and the bride was Miss Laura Moran
OF Virginia, daughter Of the venerable
Archdeacon Moran. pastor Of the St. George
parish at st. Denis. Md. Mr. Panser, a few
weeks ago. gained considerable notoriety by
publlshing personal in a paper of New
YORK, through which means, it is alleged.
he became acquainted with Miss Moran by
correspondence and exchange Of photo
graphs Miss Moran Is a handsome woman.
about twenty-eight years old, well educated
and accomplished, who has for several years
been a teacher in art and languages in the
Wytheville Young Ladies' Seminary in
Virginia.
A few days ago she told the principal of
the seminary she intended to resign her DO
sition. as she was going to be married soon.
The principal became enraged. and said
that Miss Moran might go at once Miss
Moran accordingly packed her trunk and
telegraphed her lover to meet her at a Jer-
sey City railroad station on Saturday after
noon.
oASCA was eldTlicO al I0lS unexpected
course. as 1t had been arranged that lie
should be married in New York city On
Christmas evening. Finally his friend, the
Rev. DR.. Joseph T. Wright. editor-in-chief
OF The Literary Digest, who lives In Pro-
hibit!on Park. arranged to have his wife 60
with Mr.. Panser to meet Miss Moran and
take her to their home in Prohibition Park.
When the southern express came into Jer-
sey City, Mr.. Panser and Mrs. Wright were
on hand. 1t was the first time the lovers
had met, but they recognized one another
from the photographs which had been inter-
changed.
1t was arranged that the ceremony should
take place that evening at Mr.. wright's
home. and as Mr.. Wright Is q regularly
ordained minister. he consented to perform
the ceremony. number Of neighbors had
been invited to witness the ceremony.
When. however. Miss Moran told him she
was confident her father would object to
the marriage. were he consulted Mr.. Wright
refused to tie the nuptial knot. After con-
siderable hesitation. however. Mr.. Wright
consented to lend his aid. So he went out
In the severe storm and drove two miles to
the rectory Of the Church of the Ascension
and sought the services of the Rev. Pascal
having exchanged pulpits with the Rev. Dr.
David ]. Evans Of Middletown. When DR..
Evans heard the name Of the bride he re-
piled that he could not perform the cere-
mony.
1t was a strange coincidence that he was
an acquaintance of Miss Moran's father,
and 1t Is further alleged that Mr.. Evans
ana Miss Moran were at one time engaged
to be married The Rev. Mr.. Wright, foiled
In his good offices, returned home about IL
p. m. Then the couple went to the house
OF the Rev. d. 8. Gregory, a retired Presby-
terian clergyman.
He consented to perform the ceremony.
Mr ana Mrs. Panser remained at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Wright until yesterday
morning. when they went to New York,
where they will live.

BIG lRONCLADS.
Their Structural Weakness shown In
British EXAMPLES.

British Examples.
From the Chicago Herald
The following are the principal points of
speech in which Lord Armstrong. at the
meeting Of shareholders OF his famous COM
pany the other day.expressed his views con-
cernfng the dangers involved in the con-
struction Of gigantic ironclads:
The ram Of the Camperdown. although
striking with a restricted momentum. was
buried deep into the side Of the Victoria.
and it cannot be doubted that while armor
Is in a great measure effective against pro-
5ectiles. and netting against torpedoes moth
ing can Withstand the power of the ram
But although in the case Of this terrible ac-
cident the blow of the ram was inflicted
with incomparably less force than that
due to the full speed Of the ship. the dam
age done to the ramming vessel was such
as to place her in imminent danger of fol-
lowing her victim to the bottom. 1t ap-
pears. therefore. that the strength and sta
biiity Of the PROV and ram Of the Camper
down are quite insufficient to enable her to
deliver an effective stroke against an ad-
versary without at the same time impertl-
ing her own fotation. This is like having
a great gun that cannot be fired for fear 1t
should burst. and / apprehend that what ap-
plies to the ram Of the Camperdown would
apply equally to the ram Of every great bat
tie ship In the British service.
Vessels specially designed for ramming
need not be large nor costly and they would
be free from all the complications Of battle
ships. Personal dash, of which there is no
want in the British navy, would be the chief
quality required in directing their use and
the occasional loss Of such a vessel would be
of small importance in comparison with
that of battle ship. 1 am, therefore, Of
opinion that a considerable number of mex
pensive ramships should form an item in
any future ship-building program.
while on this subject i cannot refrain
from expressing my appreciation as to the
disastrous effect of high explosive shells dis
charged in vast numbers from quick firing
guns against the unarmored portions of our
battle ships. The experiments made some
years ago with such shells against the Re
sistance, which was armored ship of
small value given up for experiment, proved
that such shells would be competent to
wreck the unprotected plating down to, or
possibly below, the water level. and that
even where a streak Of armor was applied
at the water-line the damage might be low
enough down to cause the ship to be flooded
by the wash Of the sea. 1t was proved also
that armor Of small thickness insured the
bursting OF these shells harmlessly outside
OF the ship. which, OF course, raises the
question whether II armor has to be used
at all. 1t ought not to be applied in varying
thickness over the whole ship
