GIANT CRABS THAT CLIMB
TREES.
Four Feet in Diameter and Can
Crack Cocoanuts With Their
Claws.

When the naturalists Of Cali
fornia have completed their collec-
ton of sharks and sea serpents,
British Columbia has a curiosity
to present for inspection which they
will find fully as worthy of their
scientific attention. The specimen,
or specimens, for there are two of
them. is still alive, and, although
not yet Injured to the chill of north
ern ATTITUDES, enjoying a fair meas
ure of good health. "It" is a giant
member of the crab family, dark
green in color, and measuring up
ward of four feet in diameter, the
largest crab that ever crossed a
torrid sand or climbed a cocoanut
tree, and rejoicing in variety of
names, of which the "robber crab"
is the most familiar, and ''Lirgos
latro" the scientific. Strange to
say, neither the specimens secured
nor any of their kind have ever
been known to enter the water.
They belong to the purely land or
tree-climbing family, no worthy
representative of which has yet
found its way into the British
Museum, and which are SO rare
that that institution has entered a
heavy bid for one or both of those
captured. The museum authori-
ties will send a man all the way
from London to take possession if
the present owners decide to sell.
The crabs were brought to Vic
tGria by the schooner Norma, CO.
coanut laden from Tanning and
Washington islands, which is now
discharging her cargo. They were
secured at Palmyra islands, in the
South Pacific, and as yet have de-
veloped no dangerous propensities,
though quite willing to give exhi-
billions of their strength, breaking
broom handles and such toys as if
they were pipestems. 1t would be
the simplest thing in the world for
them to crush a mans leg or arm
in a similar way, but, fortunately, |
they are slow to anger or to action,
and take life so lazily that any one
can get out of harms way on see
.ng danger ahead. One cocoanut
L day serves as meal, the nut
being cracked as if it were an egg,
and the kernel slowly devoured.
In appearance the crabs remind
,ne of nothing so much as over
grown and exaggerated spiders with
abnormally developed bodies and
| wonderful wealth of legs. Capt.
:. d. Walker and his sons are very
proud of their captives, which, they
assert, are as rare as birds of para
lise.-S. T. Examiner.

A VALUABLE LESSON.

There is one thing which the
events of the past eighteen months
have brought into a very clear
light, and that is the great vitality
of the party of order and stability
in this country, and its power to
maintain for an indefinite period of
time a government which COM
mands respect and enforces the
laws. The Bulletin quotes with
great satisfaction G. R. Bishop as
saying, Immediately after receiving
news of the revolution, "There has
been some talk in the islands of
forming a Republic. That is out
of the question. If it should come
to that, I would not De long in get
ting rid cf ,Ay interests there"
The Bulletin claims to believe that
annexation is impossible, and it's
quotation must be taken to imply
a cheerful prophecy of disorder and
chaos.
G. r. Bishop was by no means
alone in the opinion which he ex-
pressed a year and half -Ggo. 1t
was customary in those days to re-
gard an independent Republic as an
impossibility. Experience how
ever has presumably modified the
views of Mr.. Bishop, as it certainly
has those of hundreds of others. 1t
has shown that the progressiveparty
of this country, which is also the
party of stability and order, is
strong in numbers and in public
spirit, and quite capable Of main
tanning the Republic forever. In
point of fact the Republic is to be
maintained permanently, for as a |
part of the United States, Hawaii |
will still be a Republic, though no |
longer a weak and isolated one.

THE BLYTHE ESTATE.

Governor Markham Thinks 1t Has Es-
cheated to the state.
Governor Markham yesterday author
lied the law firm Of Estee IL Miller Of San
Francisco to institute legal proceedings
for the purpose of having the property OF
the late Thomas ii. Blythe escheat to the
State. Governor Markham is OF the
opinion that the title to the property OF
blythe has failed for want of heirs or
next of kin, and for that reason has re-
verted to the State. The statute provides
that the Attorney-G General shall act in all
such cases, and also gives him authority
TO select counsel. But as Attorney-Ge
eral Hart is the attorney and counsel for
Florence Blythe Hinckley, who claims to
be the sole heir and next OF kin OF
Thomas II. Blythe, deceased. the Attor-
ney- General Is disqualified from acting.
1t therefore devOlYcs upon the Governor
to select the attorneys. The estate, which
is OF the value OF about ~, ,0U0,UOO and has
an annual income of $780, 900, il Governor
NJ ark hams theory is correct. would es-
cheat 10 the State, and the proceeds would
become part OF the common school funu
OF the State, thus making it the most I'M
portant suit, SO far as the state is con-
cerned, that has ever been instituted since

There is now in the United States Treas
ury 100000 paid in on account of the

proposition that this money could not be
applied to the satisfaction of the Govern
menps claim, but only to that Of the first Sc
curities. The first Government mortgage
falls due January 16 next, and amounts to
about 81, ,OO0.000. Four others will have
matured by the following October, 90 that
late in 1895 about S6.500.000 will be due.
By applying what is now in the treasury
TO the satisfaction of this debt there need
be no default until 1896; consequently, 1t
is urged in some quarters that there is no
imperative need of taking any kind Of
action at this time. Others quote from the
United States Supreme Court decisions to
show that such a reserved fund in the
treasury can only be applied to satisfy the
first securities.

MAY BE SURRENDERED
Refugees on Board the WarShip
Bennington.
The Government of San Salvador
Charges the Former Regime
With Larceny.

LA LIBERTAD, June 1.-THE newly
organized Government is making desper-
ate efforts to secure the surrender of the
refugees on board the United States steam
ship Bennington. After making formal
remonstrance against she extension Of an
asylum to the late Vice-President and his
staff, the President has made demand
upon Mr.. Pollock, the American Consul,
for the surrender of the men.
For the time being he valves entirely the
question of right 10 assume, and charging
that these officials of the late Government
have been EN- beZzling.
He demands their surrender under az
ticle II of the extradition treaty negotia-
ted with the United States in 1870 Con-
sui Pollock consulted over this new phase
of the case with Commander Thomas Of
the Bennington. and then Informed the
Government he could meet the demand
only on the instruction of Washington
oficiels. He was served with extradition
papers regularly drawn and then cabled
an account of the affair TO Washington.
So far be has not had a response. Mean
while the refugees are being detained on
the Bennington. and will not be allowed
to take passage on the coasting steamers TO
a port Of safety.
The refugees insist that this move of the
President is nothing more than pretext
TO obtain their surrender. when he will
promptly avenge himself by Furnishing
them for political reasons.
The impression is general, however, that
they must be surrendered. all legal forms
having been observed in making the de-
mand, but the United States Consul Will
probably require guarantee that the
refugees shall be tried only on the GRIM
inal charges specified,
