A Sensation at Newport.
FRInA EVENING AUG. 81 1894.


Newport society has had a social SEN
sation, inasmuch as two wealthy bach
elors of title, who have been feted dur
ing the season, gave ball in acknowl-
edgment of the courtesies shown them,
and created new order of things by
doing away with any chaperon on the
occasion. The ball was given on Tues
day evening at the Golf Club, by Count
Vichy ard Count Hadik. There were
mo bands OF music, the plazZas were
inclosed in bunting and decorated with
pants, and supper was served at small
tables. Count Hadik led the cotillion
with Mrs. w. Butler Duncan, jr. The
iavors, which were decidedly unique,
were distributed from goat cart COW
cred with American beauty roses and
smilax. The goat was inclined to keep
time in his own peculiar manner
with the music, but was held IN
check by a pretty little girl,
who drove him with gay colored
harness. The distribution was made by boy
dressed as page of the Austrian court, Whlle
the girl driving the cart wore the costume Vi
an Austrian peasant. Among the faVors were
canary birds in howerdecked cages, musical
instruments, gold balls and sticks, archery
sets, balloons, howers, sashes decorated with
the Austrian flag and bottles OF various sizes
labeled with well known names oil brands OF
champagne, Burgundy and Jersey light

A LIVELY SCENE.
BOutelle Shakes His Fist at the
Flying Democrats.

The Hawaiian debates have
brought about some Of the most ex-
citing episodes the House of Repre-
sentatives has witnessed in recent
years. The following, which is
clipped from a Washington dis
patch, describes one which arose
over an attempt made by Boutelle
to get in one Of his resolutions.
The Speaker, to dodge the issue,
had declared the House adjourned !:
Although the Speaker had left
the chair and the House was adj
journed, the members still stood in
their places, while all the people in
the galleries stood up.
Boutelle shook his fist at the ap-
plauding Democrats, and shouted
above the din: you're afraid to
face this question"
The Democrats shouted with
laughter and continued to applaud.
give seen you run BEFORE"
shrieked Boutelle, while the Demo-
Gratis laughed louder. while they
clapped and stamped on the floor.
This extra session of the House
might have gone on indefinitely
had not Reed, who was so enraged
because Speaker Crisp had ad-
journed the House as Speaker
Reed used to do, cooled down and
taken his seat. Boutelle followed
his example, and so the extraordi-
nary performance ended.
Boutelle announced afterward
that he would keep at it until he
got his resolution in. cpl do it."
he said, ''if it takes the rest of my
term, unless President Cleveland
sends an Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary up
here to depose me and put col
ored lady in my place.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1894.

Mr.. T. p. HASTINGS, Secretary
of the Legation in Washington,
has rendered most efficient services
i'm presenting the cause of the Pro-
visional Government before the
Senate committee. His wide &C
quaintance with public men, and
his knowledge of national politics,
enable him to act with judment in
our matters, especially when the
hostile attitude of Mr.. Cleveland
makes it difficult for any diplo-
matte representative to take any
part in influencing Congressional
action. Many years ago Congress
passed law forbidding the repre-
sentative of any foreign govern
ment to interfere in any legislative
matters. We are fortunate in fur
nishing Mr.. Thurston with such an
able lieutenant. AS both are now
at their posts, our affairs will not
suffer for want of intelligent man.

FROM JOHN THOS. WAREHOUSE.
He Doesn't Want To Swap Horses
When Crossing a Stream.

Mr.. EDITOR AS subscriber to
the Star, it appears to be getting off
the handle in its cratic article ad-
vocating change from fourteen to
twenty-four in the Advisory Coun-
Gil, which has done so much for the
peace and prosperity of the Islands
during the first year Of it's govern
ment. In politics, having no ambi-
ton myself beyond the rank and file,
and a resident of forty-three years
standing on the coming 1st of May,
employing in the interests of the
country upwards of thirty mechan-
les and laborers for the last eigh-
teen months. Otherwise 1 have no
axe to grind.
My advice is, ''let we'll alone";
continue on as we are and keep pol
iticians out of the traces.
No swapping horses for me in
crossing a stream. When matters
are settled in the United States,
our present good Government will
attend to the situation.
Very truly,
JOHN THos. WATERHoUsE.

IN THE COUNCILS.

The session of the Advisory
Council held yesterday was not
particularly eventful. The resolu-
ton of the American League re-
garding an increase in the members
cfthe Advisory Council was brought
up, and after some discussion, re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee.
This was unquestionably the
