The Chi Yuen, which still bravely
fought her guns when she was moth
ing more than wreck, was struck by
a torpedo and sank with all on board.
The scenes are now appalling. The
guns on several Of the ships on both
sides were disabled, and the great
ships rolled heavily. The streams OF
green water pouring from the most
Of their sides showed that the steam
pumps were necessarily working and
testified to the extent of the damage
inflicted. Some OF the Chinese ships
had exhausted their ammunition during
the last hours fighting.
More than one of the japanese yes
sells seemed TO he on the point Of foun-
dering. 1t was not until dusk. how
ever. that the firing ceased ard the
battered japanese feet slowly de-
parted. Toward morning the remnants
OF the Chinese fleet with six transports
started for Port Arthur, which was
safely reached. The damage 10 the
best Chinese ships is so extensive that
1t can scarcely be repaired before the
arrival OF winter The officers say
that both sides showed the most fun
Gus courage.
Washington, d. c.. Sept. 22.-The
japanese legation here is in receipt
of the following callegram in regard
to the battle at Ping Yang on Sept. II:
The loss Of Japan in the battle Of
Ping Yang, so far as ascertained, was
eleven officers killed, 154 men killed.
thirty officers wounded, 52l men
wounded, besides forty officers whose
fate is unknown. The Chinese lost
over 1000 killed. and the number of
wounded . not known, but it is be-
lleved to have been very large A
number of the Chinese wounded are
in our field hospital" The japanese
officials here are much Selated over the
latest reports, as they say the sinking
of China's big battleship. the Chen
Yuen, fatally crippled China's water
defenses. Another significant fact
commented on at the japanese lega-
ton Is that foreign officers appear to
have been in command of the Chinese
ships, which In the judgment of the
japanese authorities here shows that
the Chinese are yet deficient In native
commanders and are depending on
foreigners to manipulate their ships,
which is in marked contrast with the
native command Of all Japanese war
ships.

A REMARKABLE DUCHESS.
She OF Abercorn and Her Many Noble
Descendants.

A great deal has been written OF the
levee OF 1o1 descendants over which
the dowager duchess of Abercorn pre-
sided so genially recently at Montagu
house. The gathering was probably
absolutely unique. for the venerable
hostess has known no less than six
dukes OF BEDFORD, the heads OF the great
house of Russell being in turn her
father, her brother. her two nephews
and her two great-nephewS Earl Rus

great-nephews. while she numbers
among her lineal descendants the reign
ing dukes OF Abercorn and Marlbor-
ough, the future dukes of Leeds and
Buccleuch, the future marquis Of Ians-
downe. the earls Of Durham and Iich-
field and the future earls Of Winterton
and Mount EdEcombe Several very

This brings up an interesting story
In his writings Mr.. Crawford tells 81
his first appearance in the French
court and of the bow which he made
on that occasion. He was too modest
however, to describe the scene. or
rather the effect, which his personality
produced. When he entered the court
with Is lofty bearing and his tall, in.
preSsiye figure, decorated for the first
time with the apparel of his high COM
mission as the American minister 70
that court, he was received with the
utmost demonstration. The emperor
was deeply impressed He ayowed
that Mr. Crawford was the only man
TO whom he had ever been constrained
to bow, and on that occasion he over
stepped the custom and made d repeti
ton of his courtesy.
Fashioned in gigantic mold. Mr.
Crawford was one of the handsomest
men that ever lived. He was a man of
great talent and of intellectual super
iority. He was recognized as the equal
of any Of his ady4rsaries in the highest
councils Of the land, and as a candi- +,
date for the highest office in the ia.
tons gift he was defeated by only a
small majority.
And yet Georgians have such little
generation for The dead as to ignore
the ashes of this great man and to
leave them unrecorded in an old field.

all Europe and the pride of his fellow
man, thus shamefully an outcast in

THE ANIMALS.

The good Lord SALISBURY, who
had reputation for narrow evan
gelicalism, wrote to Frances Power
Cobbe:
'T have ever believed in a happy
future for animals; / cannot say or
conjecture how or where, but sure /
am that the love so manifested, by
dogs especially, is an emanation from
the divine essence, and, as such, it
can, or rather will, never be extin-
guished."
That a Scientist" should ex-
press such sentiment would not
be remarkable. But that a man,
who was noted for his extremely
orthodox views on religious mat
tiers, should believe in the future"
of animals, a subject not alluded to
in the Bible or the creeds, is, GER
tainly, rather extraordinary, and
sets one to thinking.

ADMIRAL WALKER.

1t is reported from Washington
that President Cleveland is dis
satisfied with Admiral Walkers
report on Pearl Harbor, and has,
therefore, refused to allow the
Secretary of the Navy to appoint
the Admiral to the Office of Super
intendent of the Naval Academy at
Annapolis. While this report may
be true, we discredit it. When the
Admiral was here, it was said by
his friends, that he did not desire
that post, because it involved much
labor, and the Admiral preferred
an easier position.
Besides, we do not believe that
Mr.. Cleveland would show any
spite whatever towards, him because
he had made a report which was
disagreeable TO the President. Adj
miral Walker is too good an officer
to go step beyond the line of his
official duty, and any report made
by him will contain only matter
which he was directed to consider

ENGLAND AND JAPAN.

The English papers are discus
sing the new treaty between Great
Britain and Japan, which will go
into operation in five years.
The English colonies are not in
cluded in the treaty, but they are
at liberty to come within its pro-
visions, if they choose to do so.
England permits, under the treaty,
free immigration of Japanese into
England. The colonies hesitate to
accept this provision. If Canada,
however, can get the Japanese
trade, from other countries, by
granting free immigration, she may
doso, and raise another complica-
ton on the North American CONT
nent.

A RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.

The conviction Of the drivers o.
the Tramway Company, for cruelty
to animals, indicates that, at last,
the beasts have found some friends.
But there will be no substantial
progress made, in the humane
movement, unless the public back
it up.
Women shrink from the Court
room, as witnesses, because in our
civilization, the halls of Justice are
regarded by so many, as bear-pits,
or dog-pits, into which clients, wit
nesses and lawyers are flung indis-
criminately, to scratch and bite
each other.
Even if going into Court is a
disagreeable duty; in the protec-
ton Of the animals, it is the sacri-
fee which must be made in order
to secure good results.
It is the new phase of the late
political campaign in the States,
and it is an old phase of the politi-
cal contests in England, that wo-
men, who might well be envied, for
their wealth, culture, and position
have accepted the repulsive condi-
tions connected with woman's efec-
tive work, and have dashed into
the slums with their carriages, if
necessary. The test of sincerity,
in any work, is the willing accep-
lance of disagreeable duty.
The late Mrs. VIM. B. Astor, of
New York city, one of the richest
women in America would almost
fight her way to the pork barrels of
the Insane Asylum for the poor,
and take out samples with her own
hands, while the attendants tried
to prevent her from doing it. Few
women, in this city, have done the
disagreeable work, on behalf of
charity, which that woman did.
Women are about to get to the
front, not by asking for it, but by
doing those things which will
make men welcome them to the
front.

TREATY BETWEEN JAPAN AND THE
UNITED STATES.

On the Odd of November, the
treaty between the United States
and Japan was signed in Washing
ton. It does rot go into effect, just
as the treaty between England and
Japan does not go into effect, until
FIVE years have passed.
The provision in the treaty which
concerns US here, is that which pro-
vides that the United States may
exclude Japanese immigrants. The
kilograms to San Francisco do not
give the text of this provision.
They state, however, that the Jap
anese citizens are not DESTROYS of
emigratiDg to the United States in
large numbers, and that the Japan
csc emigrant laws will prevent any
conflict with the labor contract
laws of the United States. The text
of these laws, and their re-
lation to each other is not now
apparent. What effect this treaty
will have on the labor supply for
the plantations, in case of annexa-
ton, is a matter to be discussed
At present, there seems
to be an abundance of Japanese
labor here, and it is possible that
no more of it will be needed.

agine that the great rain fall
we have had during the past
| few weeks would have a de
pressing effect upon the sale
of Aermotors. 1t has not. A
half dozen men, interested on
different sugar plantations and
who have suffered consider
able loss owing to the long
drought of last summer have
decided TO use Aermotors TO
pump water for irrigation.
Work was began on
one out by Kamoiliili on
and the others will be
put up in their turn.
These gentlemen selected the
Aermotor because it has been
tried and proven the only mill
that will operate pumps large
enough for irrigation purposes.
We do not know of any other
windmill that will supply as
much water in as light a wind
as the Aermotor.
The Aermotor is doing the
heavy lead this week and
aluminium the light comedy.
We believe this is the lightest
strong material for almost any
purpose to which metal is put.
The sauce pans and fry pans
made of it are quite as servic-
able as either iron or agate
ware, .the sleeve links as
strong, possibly stronger than
gold or silver. At a dollar a
pair they beat anything the
world ever saw. A whiskey
flask in aluminium and covered
with a cord net is as unique
an article as we have had in
fancy goods.
A popular field glass in
France and England is known
as the Erred Archer" It'll
has twelve lenses and is
extremely powerful. We have
a few pairs which are indis-
pensible to the man who
travels or visits the race track. |
We have sold what is consid- |
cred the finest glass made but
we fail to see where they |
equal the Erred Archer"
Cut glass has always had a
prominent place with us and
as the demand warrants it we
add to the stock. We have
just received some very choice
inexpensive pieces suitable for
table use. Everyone knows
the value of cut glass just as
they do the value of laces. We
have been careful to select
servicable low priced articles,
something within the reach of
who wants such things.
Our stock of lamps this
year excels anything of the
kind ever shown in Honolulu.
The styles are different, the
decorations more pleasing and i.
the prices lower than any we
have ever had. The collection
Of onyx tables is more at
