JOHN BULL STANDS READY.
To Step in at Hawaii When the United
States Withdraws.

Washington, July ia letter from promi-
nent resident of Honolulu was received by
the last mail and contains statement that
never in the history of the islands has
English influence been SO strongly displayed
and with such persistence as at the present
time. The letter continues: ut Is openly
said here that should the United States
fail to continue the present reciprocity
arrangement of the tariff the efforts OF
Canada and the English government will be
exerted to the utmost to obtain terms as
good or better than those denied by the
American government. The general belief
in Honolulu is, that with three months
after it becomes definitely known the
United States has given up the free sugar
schedule as applied to Hawaii, the British
minister here will have succeeded in negoti-
ating treaty whose advantage will be all
on the side of the British crown against
American influences in the island. 1t is
understood that Minister Willis has written
Secretary Gresham of this feeling in the
islands, and made strong argument in
favor of retaining the Hawaiian reciprocity
clause in the tariff BILL"

CHIPPING OFF PAINT.
For Two Months the Union Mutual
Building-First Instance of theKind.

One feature of the work on the Union
Mutual building now in progress, is Pc
culiar and rather interesting. 1t sis the
removing of the brown paint from the
granite pillars and lintels SO that the
white stone may appear. The man who
has done the labor has been at work on
it for two months, and has now nearly
completed it. He first removed the paint
from the water shed, or projecting corn
ice over the Intel, from the arched door
on Congress street, around to the end
of the building on Exchange street. He
used a hammer and chisel, and could
remove but four or five feet in day.
The work involves the chipping off of
the outer layer of stone. On the pillars
the paint was of different character, and
could be removed with sledge hammer.
The man who. does this work has
lived here IL years, and says that it is
the fourth instance that he knows of in
this city of chipping the paint off a
granite facade of building. 1t has.
of course. been quite expensive, involv-
ing a mans wages for stwo months.

A Cult In China,

A cult In china and a craze for china
are not synonymous, but they can lay
claim to have the same foundation, and
both have antiquity and very good people
to back them-yes and to refer to as hav-
ing withstood the jests and caricatures
of wits and artists ever since the Egyp-
tians burnt tiles on the Nile.
Hogarth, Charles Lamb, Sydney Smith
and Balzac have all made their mark with
brush or pen OF this fascinating fad of
fashionable wonen, and, to the writer's
credit be it said, they have each shown a
very we'll considered acquaintance with
the matter, and the china has always been
benefited by their interest.
Charles Lamb was not ashamed to con-
fess to an F'al1nost feminine partiality for
old china" and he didn't mind admitting
that when he visited any great house he
inquired first for the china closet and next
for the picture gallery. China Jars and
saucers have way Of kodaking them

The Skies Are Frightening.

Washington, July l9.--When asked what
he thought of the letter of the President,
Senator Hill replied: 'In the language of
the novel, the plot thickens. l prefer to
say nothing at this time, as Ito the
wisdom of the letter. 1t comes rather late,
and may complicate for a while the situa-
tion and defeat all tariff legislation. If the
President, instead of writing the letter, had
exercised an influence to assist me in get
ting votes for free raw material. when !
was making fight therefore in the Senate,
the present unfortunate complication might
have been avoided. trust there will be
more votes now for free raw material when
bring forward a proposition again in the
Senate, which expect to do. The skies are
brightening."

SHREWD YANKEES,
They Find 1t Cheaper to Buy Fish Than to
Catch Them.s

Gloucester, Mass, July ia special
employe of the treasury has been max
ing an investigation of customs affairs
at Gloucester, especially to those per-
tanning to the importation of frozen and
salted herring from Newfoundland. The
present law places tariff upon foreign

as bait it comes in free. From the evi-
dence collected it is alleged the govern
ment was defrauded out of several thou
sand dollars annually for number OF
years. The fish are caught by natives in
seines and nets owned by them, frozetl
on shore, and sold to the masters of
American vessels, who often paid for
them with merchandise. 1t is stated that
several captains have admitted they pur-
chased cargoes of herring from New
foundland fishermen. Information from
a reliable source is to the effect that the
treasury employe is satisfied by the ev-
idence given by the masters and crews
thatsall frozen andSsalt herring brought
here by American vessels from provin-
ciaI ports not used as bait, which is ad-
mitted free, is not the products of
American fishermen. but should be
classed as foreign merchandise subject

TOLD TO STAND FIRM,
A Letter from the President Read in the
House at the Morning Session.

Washington, July 19. 9.-Chairman Will
on of the House committee on ways and
means will endeavor to make a report to
the House this afternoon on kthe result
of the conference on the tariff bill.
Mr.. Wilson rose, pathetic figure, COM
PEELED to speak from under mask that
hid most of his face from sight, and was
greeted with applause. AS part of his
remarks, Mr.. Wilson had read at the
clerks desk long letter written to him
by the President, wherein he defines
his position on the pending bill. The
salient points of this document, which
were received by frequet outbursts of
applause by the Democrats and OCCASION
al peals Of laughter by the Republicans,
are as follows:
The President admonishes the House
to stand firm for free coal and iron, as
they were promised the people when.th
party pledged itself to free raw material.
He declares that to accede to the Repub-
lican protection in the bill now in con-
ference in those items. would be party
dishonor and party outrage. The Senate
bill fell far short of being what the rank
and file of the Democratic party de-
| manded. On sugar the President said
the party could place tax on that ar
ticle without being subjected to the
charge of abandoning Democratic prin-
ciples. There would be no objection to
a tax on sugar if that were necessary to
secure the passage of the bill, but in re-
spect to coal and iron ore, the President
said that there must be no receding
from the house bill.
The Presidents reference to sugar as
delicate subject" caused much laugh
ter on the Republican side of the cham
Der.
Mr.. Wilson then made the disagreeing
report
At 1. 40 o'clock the motion by Mr.. Will
son to insist upon disagreement as to
the Senate amendments and ask for a
further conference was! agreed to, and
Speaker Crisp reappointed the former
conferees, Wilson, McMillin, Turner,
Montgomery, Reed, Burrows and Payne.
The action of the House on the tariff
bill has just been sent over to the Sem
ate, and the matter is now before that
body.

Augusta, July ia general stagnation of
business causes one of the oldest and best
know publishing establishments in the
United States to close up its business
owing to the unprecedented depression in
general business over the whole country for
the past eighteen months, causing the fail

business houses. with which they have done
large business for great maLy years, and
their inability to collect from great many
more, the management of the corporation of

reluctantly decided to close their works

perienced, as 1t throws two hundred persons
out of employment. Arthur W. Whitney,
the manager of the corporation, was seen
by the PRESS man tonight and said: I'VE
have kept up the business as long as we
possibly could during the hard times, but
the failure of large advertising concern a
few weeks ago which owed as $4,000 upset

are better. There Is a report that the COM
pany have fallen behind $4,000 within the

the Gannett and Morse concern and

ing condition. The talk of all the employees
who will quit July 31st is where can they
find work.
