his hand to his head as if q sharp
pain dwelt there. So little by
little. the officers took upon
themselves the captains duties
and he seemed willing they
should do so.
From Valparaiso the Boston
steamed to Callao and then to
San Francisco. arriving the latter
part OF June. 1892 She went
into dock. underwent repair and
then was ordered to Honolulu,
arriving there in the Fall of that
year.
Then came the exciting times
of January, 1898 Minister J.
L. Stevens ordered the COM
mander of the Boston to land his
forces, protect life and property
of Americans and hoist the Stsrs
and Stripes over the Government
building. In doing 50 Captain
Wiltse did his duty, nothing
more nor less, for his orders came
from his superior officer, the
Presidents representative at the
Hawaiian capital
From the day the American
flag was hoisted Gilbert c.
Wiltze became changed man.
He became unnaturally gay,
unuaturally communicative. and
the only thing he would talk OF
was his action in claiming the
islands for the United States. He
would walk about on shore, and,
pointing to the Stars and Stripes,
would say Look L put it there
and / will keep it there; no man
will dare to haul it down."
The veteran commander had
become a monomaniac on the
subject of hosting the flag at
Honolulu.
Stopping a newspaper CORES
pondent on the street he would
say: "We'l, we'll, what's new,
my boy? Nothing, aye? Well
what can there be until the news
of annexation comes? And by
the way, don't you think vote
of thanks by Congress will be IN
orderl''
So be would so about the
streets, laugh ing and chatting
perfectly rational on every sub
ject-save one. To new arrivals
he would say: II raised that
flag. Pretty big thing, WASH t it!
The American people know now
that the right man was in the
right place, eh?"
The early news from home was
filed with praise of Stevens
action, and, of course, Wiltse's
name was mentioned. These
newspaper articles he would read
aloud and wind up with. "By
Jove, sir j raised that flag. I
did it?'
There he stood in front of the
Hawaiian Hotel and he waved his
arms wildly as he talked. Some
turned away and smiled; others
whispered: why does he make
such an exhibition of himseIfi"
We wondered at the silence of
the Boston officers, but their
reticence is now explained.
In February his time was up,
his three years service ended
and the last of the month he was
relieved by Capt. Day.
The Australia was due to sail
and friends of annexation crowd
ed the pier. According to the
custom of the country the depart
ing officer was decorated with
garlands of flowers. On the deck
was stationed the band, and the
glorious strains OF 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" rang out as
the hawsers were loosened. On
deck stood Capt. Wiltse, and
tears were flowing from his eyes.
To his distorted imagination he
was leaving scene of conquest.

TO SEE INHABITANTS OF MARS.

Louis Gathman Proposes to Manufacture
an Immense Telescope.
CHICAGO. March Ga telescope is
practicable with an objective 100 feet
in diameter, more efficient in proper
ton for every scientific purpose than
the Lick or Yerkes telescope. There is
no reason i'll telescope science why we
should not see the inhabitants of Mars
and see to pick up a pin on the moon"
This is the bold utterance of Louis
Gathman, an inventor of this city, we'll
known as a manufacturer of milling
machinery and as the designer of the
Gathman projecticle system. Mr. Gath
mans idea is that lens be constructed
in sections. He has made a working
model and has secured patent rights,
first in Germany and then i'll this
country.
''Mr. Gathman came to see me about
his telescope" said Professor S. w.
Burnham of the University of Chicago,
land told him the idea was old and
had been suggested 40 times. The idea
of making great telescope with which
to see men on Mars is preposterous. l
don't think his telescope will revolu-
tionize astronomy for a year or two
ANYWAY "

John knows also that his life's motto is
that familiar phrase which expresses
briefly and to the point the wish that
Yale may be forever relegated to the re-

One afternoon strangers were walk
ing through the yard at Harvard, and
on every hand they saw the college seal
bearing this motto, "Christo ct Eccle-

Not being on speaking terms with
Cicero, Caesar ana the other Romans,
this did nothing but to arouse their Gu
riosity.
Finally they met John.

John looked carefully at the Latin in

ALL ON BOARD LOST.
THIRTy-THREE MEN ON THE VENUS
DROWNED.

All Efforts to Rescue the Crew Proved I'm
svailing--supposed That the Disaster
Was Caused by Shot From the Govern
ment Batteries ON Shore striking the
Vessel Amidships.
Rio JANEIRo, via Montevideo, March
b.-The reports of the loss of the rebel
transport Venus have been confirmed.
but the details of the loss of the vessel
are as yet meager.
On Friday morning the armed rebel
transports Jupiter, Marie and Venus,
which We're lying off Porto Madame,
took up positions off Porto Madame
and opened bombardment against the
government batteries. The guns in
the batteries responded quickly and
quite lively fire was exchanged. Sud
de My there was terrific roar heard
above the booming of the guns, and it
was at once conjectured that an ex-
plOsion had occurred. AT first it was
thought that disaster had befallen the
transport Marie.
Immediately the sound of the ex-
plosion was heard the men in the bat
teries and elsewhere along the shore
saw huge cloud column of reddish
brown smoke ascending and spreading
out to wide dimensions as it arose.
1t was seen as the smoke cleared
away a little that the explosion had oc.
Cured on the Venus. The vessel had
been torn in half, and almost immedi-
ately afterward the stern half of the
wreck went to the bottom. The bow
half was on fire and in a few minutes
the flames were raging furiously. This
portion of the Venus foated for half an
hour and then went down.
The Venus was commanded by Cap
tain Vasconcellos. He, with three Off
GERS and 20 men, made up the compile
ment Of the vessel. Every soul on
board of her was lost.
Some of the crew could be seen Cor a
time on the forward part of the vessel
as it drifted helplessly burning and
efforts were made to rescue them, but the
boats that were dispatched on the work
We're slow in reaching the scene of the
disaster and by the time they arrived
the men on the wreck were forced by
the fire into the water. Apparently
they could not swim and before the
boats could reach them they sank.
Many theories are current as to the
cause of the disaster. The most prob
able of these is that shot from the
shore batteries struck the Venus amid
ship and plowed its way through the
hull and boilers. 1t is pretty certain
that the magazine did not explode, for
the smoke, as stated above, was of a
reddish brown color, whereas the smoke
of powder is gray. AT any rate, what
ever the cause of the explosion, its
force must have been terrific, as the
vessel was blown into halves as though
made of cardboard.
