AS Yet They Have Not Obtained an

AS Yet They Have Not Obtained an
Audience With the President.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The ENJOYS
from ex-Queen Liliuokalani, who are in
Washington, have not yet succeeded in
obtaining an audience with President
Cleveland. They have begun to lay their
case before members of Congress who
belong to the House and Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs. They do not con-
ceal their disappointment over the cool
ness OF the Administration toward them,
and although careful TO say nothing acri-
mOnious, they convey the understanding
very plainly that they think President
Cleveland is treating them rather poorly.
in view of his former attitude toward the
defunct Hawaiian monarchy.
Messrs. Parker, Cummins, Widemann
and their associates had an interview to-
day with prominent members of the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The RoyaliSt ENJOYS were not very clear
in their statements of what they expect
to accomplish by their visit to America.
They said they expected to stay here
until President Cleveland gives them
definite information of his intentions
toward Hawaii. They said the President
had abruptly broken off his efforts for the
restoration of the ex-Queen, which they
understood he had determined upon, and
had never given the Royalists any in
formation regarding his position or in
tentions for the future.
The envoys complained that Mr.. Willis
cherishes an undue friendship for the
republic. AS one of them put it, HE is
just as bad as Stevens. He is quite as
thick with Dole, and Dole now has him
completely under his domination" Will
lis moves in the same circles with the
leaders of the Republican Government is
socially intimate with them, and has
come to be regarded as member OF their
resentatives of the Royalists.
"WiIl you tell me what sort of man
President Dole is ?" the member of Con-
gress inquired of the delegation.
Mr.. Parker, who was the Queens
Minister of Foreign Affairs, replied: mo
one knows Dole better than l do, and l
am prepared to say that he is a man
against whom nothing can be brought.
He is upright, able, thoroughly honest
and conscientious"
One of the ENJOYS remarked that Claus
Spreckels is still a supporter of the mon
archy, and had not been yet reconciled
with the republic. The interview closed
without any statement to indicate that
the mission has any financial object to
attain.
When an Associated Press reporter in
terviewed Mr.. Widemann to-day, after his
visit to Secretary Gresham, he said: 81
laid the matter for which we came here
before the Secretary, and at his request
put it in writing. 1t was very brief. We
expect an answer by Tuesday or Wednes-
day, and probably will be homeward
bound within week."

Then, as the judge to whom the appeal
was made, he said: "Therefore those
things which the Right Reverend Bishop
has commanded in his decree [ approve,
and decide that they are to be observed;
but, if they for the time being seem to
hurt the material interests of some attor-
ney, they will have to be patiently borne
for the good of the many and the honor
of our Catholic Church. The Bishop says
he inserted the wedge Of reform in the ai-

Tricks of Ancient Gold workers.

There is papyrus which gives recipes

of cups and vases, for making gold and
silver ink, for gliding and silvering and
for testing the purity of precious metals
Other recipes teach the method of falsify-
ing them by adding baser metals-an op-

How Patent Leather Is Made.


Japanned leather, generally called pat
emit leather, was first made in America. A
smooth, glazed finish is first given to calf
skin in France. The leather is curried ex-
pressly for this purpose, and particular
care is taken to keep it as free as possible
from grease. The skins are then tackled
on frames and coated with a composition
of linseed oil and lumber in the proportion
of IS gallons of oil to of lumber, boiled
until nearly solid, and then mixed with
spirits5of turpentine to the proper consist
ency. Lampblack is also added when
the composition is applied in order to give
color and body. From three to four coats
of this are necessary to form a substance
to receive the varnish They are laid on
with knife or scraper. To render the
goods soft and plant each coat must be
very light and thoroughly dried after each
application. A thin coat is afterward ap.
piled of the same composition of proper
consistency to be put on with brush, and
with sufficient lampblack boiled in it to
make perfect black. When thoroughly
dry, it is cut down with a scraper hay
ing turned edges, when it is ready to var
nish. The principal varnish used is made
of linseed oil and russian blue, boiled to
the thickness of printers ink. 1t is re-
duced with spirits of turpentine to suit
able consistency to work with a brush, and
then applied in two or three separate coats,
which are scraped and pumiced until The
leather is perfectly filled and smooth

Appendicitis.

The notion is widely prevalent that ap-
pendicitis is always caused by the lodg-
ment of an orange seed, grape seed OF
something of that Kind in this intestinal
appendage, producing Inflammation. This
is not the fact. Cases have been found in
which foreign substances were found in
the appendix; but, according to surgeon
who has performed nearly 200 operations
for removal of the appendix, such cases are
comparatively few. The prevailing opin-
ion among those who are wise on this
subject is that appendicitis is caused by a
microbe, but the Investigations have not
advanced far enough to enable this to be
determined with accuracy. 1t is believed
that many cases formerly supposed to be
acute collie were really cases of appended
tbs. According to the authorities, by the
way, this word-which is SO recent that it
is not to be found in the Century Diction-
ary-is pronounced with long ''i' in the
last syllable but one, and the ending tits"
has the same pronunciation in 'bronchi-
tbs, f" tperitonitis, 'tonsilitis' and other
words of that class.-New York Tribune.

Arctic Chi1Iinees.

A person who has never been in the po-
lar regions can have no idea Of what cold
is. When we have the temperature down
to 10 degrees or Is degrees above Zero we
think it bitterly cold, and if our houses
were not as warm as at least SO degrees
above zero we should begin to think of
freezing to death. Think, then, of living
where the mercury goes down to IS degrees
below zero in the house, in spite of the
stove. OF course in such case fur gar
ments are piled on until man looks like
a great bundle of SKINS
DIR. Moss of the polar expedition of 1875
and 1876, among other odd things, tells of
the effect of cold on wax candle which
he burned there. The temperature was IS
degrees below zero, and the doctor must
have been considerably discouraged when,
upon looking at his candle, he discovered
that the fame had all it could do to keep
warm. 1t was SO cold that the flame could
not melt all the wax of the candle, but
was forced to cut its way down, leaving a
sort of skeleton Of the candle standing
There was heat enough, however, to melt
oddly shaped holes in the thin walls of
wax, and the result was beautiful lace
like cylinder of white, with tongue Of
yellow fame burning inside it and send
ing out into the darkness many streaks of
light-PittSburg Dispatch

IE TIE GUN WENT OUT.
What Would Happen If the Orb of Day
Suddenly Became Extinct.

Suddenly Became Extinct.
The boldest imagination may well stand
appalled, at the consequences of sudden
extinction of the sun. For 81 minutes
the length of time that it takes the light
of thasun to reach the earth-we should
not know that anything had happened.
Then the darkness would fall upon the
world, neither the moon nor the planets
would give any light, and the fixed stars
would shine like tiny points of fire out Of
a coal black sky. The moisture of the at
mosphere would Instantly CONCEAL in a
universal deluge of ice, the small stack of
heat possessed by the earth would rapidly
radiate into space, and the temperature
would go on falling till degree OF cold
more than 800 degrees below zero would
be reached, and the very gases of the at
mosphere would be liquefied and fall on
the frozen surface of the planet.
Absolutely total darkness there would
not of course be and never could be TN
less all the stars were extlngu1shed. But
relative darkness would continue for an
enormous period which can only be ap-
proximately calculated. The solar system
is moving through space toward point in
the constellation of Hercules at a speed of
$50, 900, 600 miles year, or four miles
second. But there are no self luminous
stars within a distance equal to 200, 600
times the distance between the earth and
the sun; therefore this gigantic gulf would
have to be crossed before starlight became
sunlight, and this it would take some
11S, 900 years to do.
Toward the end of that period, suppos-
ing always that the other star systems had
not moved correspondingly, stars in Her
cules would begin to shine as suns, and
the long darkened solar system would be
reilluninated by rays of ever increasing
intensity until it fell into its appointed
place as a portion of those distant systems.
1t should also be mentioned that the tire.
mendous journey might not be performed
without collision with some other burnt
out sun or darkened system now invisible,
in which case the shock would regenerate.
light and heat, and out of the wrecks of the
two systems new one would be evolved.
