willing to sail three races against the

believed that if these races are arranged
they viii be sailed as nearly as possible
upon the basis of international yacht

The course was what Is known as the

LETTER TO DOLE.
President Cleveland Finally Recognizes
the New Island ReDuDiic.


Washington, =. c.. Aug. ga letter OF
con gratuia ton and greeting from Presl-
dent Cleveland III the name OF the United
States is on the way from Washington
to President Dole OF the Hawaiian re-
public. The recognition Of the new re-
public was finally decided upon this week
and the message was framed and mailed
yesterday through the regular channels.
Although the customary secrecy winch
attends diplomatic matters has surround
ed the relations Of the United states with
the Hawaiian republic since that coun-
try assumed It's new form Of government,
it is learned on the best authority that
there has never been any douD1of bresl-
dent Cieveland'S course III the matter and
of his recognition of the new govern
ment of Hawaii as L Gle factO govern

A few days ago a letter was received
from President Dole conveying the for
mai announcement OF the proclamation of
the republic and the Inauguration of the
new government. This letter was laid be-
fore the cabinet and has been under con-
sideration while the House committee on
foreign affairs was debating whether it
should report resolution for recognition.
With the letter Of greeting to President
Dole, which of course passes through the
hands Of Minister Willis, was sent a let

in professionally extending the usual rec

SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT FIRE.
Queer Notions About Combustion II
Various Parts of the World.

Various Parts Of the World.
Where fire burns upon the hearth the
Germans say that lightning never strikes.
In Cambridgeshire, England, there is
curious belief to the effect that fire
started by Il lightning stroke can only be
quenched with milk
In Devonshre if Il fire burns blue and
dead it is thought to be Il forerunner OF
death or disaster in that house.
When a Russian family moves from one
house to another they always rake all
the fire from the hearth of the old domi-
cile and carry it in Il closed pot to theiE
new residence.
The Siciians say that fire will not
burn a man born on st. PauPs day (Janu-
airy 25), but that if Il woman be burned
upon that day the sore will never heal,
and will eventually cause her death.
In Greece, when one peasant borrows
fire from another's hearth to kindle his
own, the owner of the fire must accompa-
ny the borrower to his home ''to see the
fire blaze" otherwise the one making the
loan will have his house and goods de-
stroyed by the devouring element.
IN Wales and in Cornwall miners burn
their hats upon the birth of a male child;
if a girl be born his neghbors burn it
for him.-St. Louis Republic.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 10.-ln com
parison with it's most recent predecessors
the Fifty-third Congress bids fair to be-

building appropriations. Although two
sessions have nearly passed and although
many bills large and small have been re-

the gauntlet Of DIRECTORS i'll both houses
and obtaining the Presidents signature.
After the experience of Wednesday, when
the House committee on public buildings
was given the day and could not succeed
in passing a single bill on the calendar
because of the economical tendencies of
several members from the South, those
who had pinned their faith upon the sue
cess of sundry building projects for their
districts have abandoned hope of secur-

Chicago members who have waged an
arduous and uphill campaign to bring TO
