The fate of the coal ship Ivenhoe
is pretty surely proven by the find
ing of one of her life buoys on the
west coast of Vancouver island. 1t
is now sixty days since the vessel
left Seattle for San Francisco, and
the friends of those on board have
been hoping against fate, that the
vessel would turn up all right, but
since the finding of the life buoy on
the Vancouver coast, all hope is
given up, and everyone believes
that the vessel has foundered.
Among the few passengers who
took passage on the ill-fated vessel
was Frederic James Grant, editor
in-chief of the Post Intelligencer,
and one of the brightest journalists
in the state. The Pr. says;
Ever since the first uneasiness was fell,
about the Ivanhoe the friends of Mr.. Gran,
have fondly hoped it might have some
other other ending. but such hopes have
grown fainter as the time grew longer,
and now they feel obliged to relinouisb
them entirely; they are reluctantly COM
PEELED to count him as no longer among
the ranks of the living; they are forced to
bow to the inevitable and to lament him
as beloved friend and companion who.
though no longer among them, will al
ways be delightful memory"
Mr.. Grant was born in GAINESVILLE
o., August II, 1862, and had lust
passed his s2d birthday.

There is threatened outbreak
of the Royalists in the Hawaiian
islands. Large shipments of arms
and munitions of war have been
forwarded to the Royalist agents,
at Honolulu, from Seattle. If the
natives succeed in securing arms
they can, by sheer force of numbers,
capture the capitol city. In case of
another outbreak the U. S. Govern
ment will take no part whatever.

Foul Brood Successfully Treated.
Canadian beekeepers have a method Of
combating foul brood which. according
to Field and Farm, is not in general prac-
tice elsewhere, but is a very successful
remedy. The treatment is simple and
hygienic in character, and is practiced in
all movable comb hives. In the evening
remove the bees and queen from the dis
eased colony and place them in clean
hive with foundation starters in the
frame. Four days afterward take away
all frames of comb and starters from
them and give them full sheets of fonn
dalton or empty comb which are known
to be free from the faint of disease. The
colony is now cured and will rear brood
healthy and free from the disease, unless
contracted again through the gathering
of diseased honey or otherwise. The
honey is the chief if not the only medium
Of contagion, and one drop Of infected
honey brought into healthy colony. if
used for larval food, is sufficient to start
tho disease. The diseased honey may be
rendered innocuous by boiling. and the
combs by rendering into wax, the dross
to be buried. To save the healthy part
of the brood taken from diseased colo
MES leave enough bees to cover it, or give
it to queen bee colonies, and as soon as
the healthy brood is all Matched put
the young bees through exactly the same
process. give them a queen or cell. and
they. too. are cured.
