a Runaway Balloon.

An Australian exchange states
that the manager of the Star of the
East mine, on the Murchison Gold
Fields, and the hands employed
there were considerably startled
recently to perceive a large bal
loon travelling at a terrific rate
from northwest TO southeast. Al
though at great altitude the bal
boon could be distinctly seen in
every outline, and was travelling at
such a rate of speed that the body
of the balloon was considerably IN
advance of the car. 1t was sup,
posed that it had escaped from In
dia or the Straits Settlements
This strange flight across the CEN
ter of Western Australia has not
so far. been explained.

How Key. DR.. Ta1naee Reached
Hobart from Samoa.
\ Body OF Water Fifteen Hundred Miles
Across Called n Stormy Little
strait by n Writer.

Not many months ago the Rev. DR..
Talmage, the we'll known divine, paid
a visit 10 this city and here took pas
sage on steamer for Australia, says
the :. T. Commercial News. DIR.
Talmaee is editor-in chief of a paper
called the Christian Herald, and in
recent issue of that publication the
sub-editor in giving an account of his
chiefs tour says the following:
From Samoa to Tasmania is long
sea run, but one golden morning in
June brought Hobart Town in sight,
with the headlands of that strange
and weird country discovered by the
old Dutch navigator Tasman. New
Zealand was the next stopping place
on the journey. DE then
crossed the stormy little strait be-
tween New Zealand and the island
continent of Australia, disembarking
az sydney"
The editor of the Christian Herald
may know more about celestial geo.
graphy and ky-piloting than the
Commercial News, but from the fore
going it is evident that his education
In terrestrial geography has been
neglected. The steamers that sail
from here to Sydney call first at Ho-
nolulu, next az Apia, Samoa, then at
Auckland, New Zealand, and from
| there go across the stormy little
strait" as the writer calls it, TO sgd
ney. The stormy little strait is a dis
! lance OF nearly fifteen hundred miles
/ and il takes the steamers the better
| part OF five days TO cross it. If Cap
! taius Morse, OF the Alameda, Hay
/ ward, of the Mariposa, or Carey, of
| the Monowai, when outward bound
| from here, should, after leaving Sa-
moa, fetch up at Hobart Town in Tas-
mania, instead OF Auckland, in New
| Zealand, fifteen hundred miles dis
! tant, an investigation would surely be
| held as to whether the captain was
non compos mentis or his nautical
| instruments out OF killer. June is the
/ middle OF winter down at the Anti
podes and the editor in speaking OF
| the "golden morning must have
been drawing on his imagination, for
| June is the month of colds and over
coats. The editor of the Christian
Herald may, like Goldsmith's parson
who was "passing rich on forty
pounds year"
Know the way TO Heaven
And lead himself the way.
But he has got a heap to learn about
| matters geographical. With the linn
tied knowledge he now seemingl ~
| possesses, If he should attempt to take
! a steamer from here by the custom
ary route he would soon be in the
position of the captain OF the Mowers
who tried to take his vessel into Ho
nolulu without pilot and would tinC
himself in Davy Jones' locker, or il
Abraham's bosom, sooner than he ex
pected.

National Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS oF
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record OF the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER. which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 5000 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
1.-THE three roller mill being
&c in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
ton has been increased from
3 per cent. to per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being 70
to rs per cent, according to
quality.
Il continue TO find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part Of it
being hard ratoons.
1.-The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"
wPlans and specifications
of these shredders may be seen
at the Office of

light the lifeless body OF Matthew A.
Bartlett, we'll known young man, was
found on tho sidewalk by q newsboy.
His RICH. ear was bruised aud his nose
bloody, but he bore no other marks OF
violence. though papers from his peck.
cts were scattered about. His watch
was untouched. The theory generally
advanced Is that Bartlett wss murdered
for knowing too much about the mys-
FERROUS death OF Accountant Joseph
Shade at the Steilacoom asylum last
month. Some claimed then that Shade
was poisoned, though subsequent in
vestigation seemingly refuted the claim.
At that time Bartlett was an attend
ant at the asylum, remaining until last
September. Several nights OF last week
he was followed by two men aud in ex.
planning the matter to friends, he said
that it was because he knew too much
about the Shade case. He bought a
revolver and was much worried about
tho matter Subsequently the two mys-
terious men attempted to hold him up,
but be eyaded them.

oHINA.JAPAN WAR.

Tho British Officials Demand an Imme-
dinte Settlement OF the Chung King
Affair.
SHANGHAI, Nov. 6.-The British OIL
cials here have sent an ultimatum to
the viceroy demanding q settlement OF
the Chung King affair within seven
days. The British demands are that
Taotai sheng be dismissed and de-
graded, the Chung King is to be saluted
with 81 guns from the Taku forts and
money indemnity is to be paid 70 the
owners OF the Chung King.
II these demands are not complied
with within the specified time reprisala
upon tae part OF the British fleet are
threatened.
The Chung King affair is one Of the
remarkable incidents OF the war be-
tween China and Japan aud may have
serious results. On August 4 last q
Tien Tsin dispatch announced that
thirteen Japanese soldiers who had
been forcibly removed by the Chinese
from the British steamship Chung
King were returned Immediately upon
the VlCeEOy, LII I1uuB SuauRt buAuE
notified and it was added that the
viceroy apologizsd to the British con-
sui.
On August Z, however, a dispatch
from Shanghai announced the arrival
there OF the steamship Chung King and
the captain Of that vessel gave his Vor-
sion of the affair, which gave it more
serious aspect. The captain said that
while his ship was at Tungu, on the
gulf Of Pechili, Chinese soldiers went
on board OF her for the purpose Of seiz-
ing the Japanese passengers. They
found on board the steamship sixty
Japanese, mostly women and children,
and ut once began to hunt them down:
The Chinese pursued tho Japanese all
over tho vessel bound them baud and
foot as soon as caught and flung them
over on the wharf.
Ii Hung Chang, eventually. upon the
protests OF the British Consul, COM
manded the Japanese to DO returned on
board the Chung King and ordered the
Chinese soldiers who had made the
raid to DO severely punished.

The publication will embrace the entire
proceedings Of the national road confer.
ence held at AsbuEy park, n. J., July
9Th and 9Th laat Of which conference
every shade OF opinion on improving
roada was presented. Mr.. Roy Stone,
the special agent and IroAd engineer OF
the department, will. also include q
number Of addresses on the road ques.
lion. He makes no report, 80 that these
addresses practically constitute q 70.
port Mr.. Stone says among other
things:
"The main question is how can . peo-
pie having NO surplus capital build
good roads2 For an answer, We must
20 where they have done It successfully
and study the methods adopted. First
we must study all the economics poss-
ible In construction; second, We must
find out all the parties 70 be benefited
and see that each bears his proper
share OF the cost, whether or not he be-
longs 10 the immediate locality or even
to the present generation OF men;
third, we must look into local questions
OF road materials and transportation,
and into all latestimproyements In road
implements and machinery.
"But who Is 10 do all this? And that
brings Us 20 the FIRST practical step IN
general road improvement, namely that
every state should have q permanent
commission composed Of citizens Of the
highest character to undertake this In
yestiga.ion and recommend the neces-
sary measures to the legislature 10
watch the workings OF these measures
when adopted, aud 10 secure any POSI-
BILE i'm provement In them. The next step
Is TO make the best possible use Of con-
Wet labor in bodybuilding. Ny own
impression is that state prison convicts
will be best employed In tho prepare
ton Of road materials in quarry camps,
or gravel pits, where they can be
guarded aud secluded as easily as in
prisons, and that county prisoners and
tramps should do the grading and I'LL
other preparatory work on the roads.
'In regions where rock Is plenty, by
using the best machinery for crushing
stone, aud employing the convicts only
in uuarrying and macadamizinR u, an
amount OF material could be produced
sufficient to macadamize all the roads
in the state as fast as they could be pre-.
pared, and In addition to furnish ballast
Tor railroads az confederation for their
giving reduced rates on road materials.
