TIE CASE OF HAWAII.

Tho Minority Report says the Presi.
dent Ignored the Plain Language OF
the Constitution In the Appoint-
nent OF mr.. Biount.
WASHINGTON, Dec 3l.-The minority OF
mitted their report on the Hawaii case.
The report 10 an aggressive one. It mar
rates the incidents of Mr.. Blount's
appointment, three days after Mr.. Clere.
lsnd's accession to Office, while the senate
was In session, quotes the instructions
given to him, and asserts that in this
appointment the president ignored the
plain language of the constitution defining
and limiting his powers. The report then
says:
NOT content with Withdrawing the Fos-
ter treaty from the senate, which may
have been his constitutional right, the
president was led to employ unconstitu-
tionsl means and an unconstitutional
SCENT to reverse and disoredit the policy of
the preceding administration.
This 10 more than an fnnovA alton In our
foreign policy, hitherto consistent and

1t IL unwritten but universally accepted
law that no administration of any repre-
sentative Government condemns the inter
national policy of preceding administra-
ton, for in so doing 1t would attack its
own Government.
Our attention cannot be diverted from
the question which most profoundly Affects
our system of government attacks, by con-
gressional or administrative, upon the wis
dom, the legality. the good faith of the
minister OF the United States In January,
1873. While We think 1t clear that Minis

ed on in relation to the present course of
events are not In doubt or In question.
the solemn official records of the govern
ment and the language used by the presi-
dent in person or through his secretary Of
state. TO ignore these burning facts and
try to confine the discussion Of what oc-
Cured In January, 1898, and try to cover
from the eyes of the people violations of
the constitution, of Law and of presidents
by the present executive, is political cow

CHINESE RAILROAD OFFICERS.

More Interest In Velvet and varnish Than
In the Science of Railroading.
The Chinese officials on the railway
are the nominally responsible parties,
and they are Chinese officials, a term
which to anyone who has lived long in
China sums up nearly all that can be
said about them, says Macmillan's Mag
azine. The railway in all its parts and
stages is to them a strange and in
scrutable thing, whose mysteries they
are slower to learn than their unedu-
Gated fellow-countrymen, owing to
their minds being already saturated
with kind of lore which has no points
Of contact with the novelties introduced
by the troublesome foreign devils.
They detest the whole undertaking,
which does not even provide such means
OF enrichment as any purely native
work would do. Custom renders it
derogatory to them to handle any i'm
plement heavier than hair pencil, and
what is necessary to be done by Off
Gals is simply intrusted to their serv-
ants.
At the head Office things are scarcely
better. The directors are men who
have been forced into an unwelcome
position, who have no feeling for the
substantial success of the railway, and
no appreciation of workmanlike excel.
lence, but who are always ready to
listen to any dilettante who can talk
specifically of velvet and varnish and
show from illustrated advertisements in
what respects the Chinese trains come
short Of some ideal Brighton express or
Philadelphia flier, especially when the
glib foreign gentleman hints at the pro-
fuse fabrication which railway pro-
motion demands in other countries and
which is only compatible with lavish
cost.

EXCUSES WHICH DO NoTExcusE

Always BE Ready to Explain When
Caught In Suspicious Circumstances.
What is much needed for persons ''in
trouble" and especially for those caught
in aagrante delictu, is a good excuse,
an explanation on the spur of the mo-
nent Tor their having, for example,
three gold watches about them.
An instance of this kind occurred
only the other morning in London, saya
. correspondent Of the San Francisco
Argonaut.
A gentleman was stopped at five ..
m. and requested to explain the fact OF
his carrying four umbrellas. It had
been . fine day, SO that one seemed un-
necessary. The best account he could
give Of himself was that his mistress
had been out at party and he was car.
rying her property home. Il
The inefiiciency of an excuse of this
sort is really lamentable. In no society
do ladies take four umbrellas to an
eve ming party. 1t would have been
better for the poor wretch to have an.
nounced himself as q ia panese noble
man Of the first class, who, in Difference
TO western customs, was wearing foul
umbrellas instead of four swords"
This would have at least staggered
the policeman as being something out
Of his beat.
In another case three individuals are
found armed to the teeth under the
pantry table of a gentleman's house
who have no better explanation to give
of their position than ''they were get
ting out Of the rain" These excuses
ere pitiful and almost pathetic.

THE CROWN OF SCOTLAND.
IL II Supposed to Have Been Worn By
~ Robert Bruce.

IL II Supposed to Have Been Worn By
r., Robert Bruce.
"A once precious diadem, which is
now only an historical relic of much
interest, is the crown Of the Scotch
kings, kept in the castle Of Edinburgh.
1t is supposed, says the St. Louis Re-
public, to have been made for Robert
Bruce, and is formed of two circles Of
gold, the upper and narrower circlet
being surmounted by row Of crosses
and gem-incrusted imitation flowers.
The lower ring, the head band proper,
is adorned from end to end of the
golden band with large precious stones
of different kinds, mostly in their
rough, unpublished state. Above rise
two arches Of gold, which unite and
are surmounted with the historic
"cross and ball" Even when the
Stuarts became kings of England they
went to the trouble of going to Scot
land to seat themselves for few mo-
ments upon the celebrated ''stone Of
Scone" and to have King Bruce's dia-
dem pressed upon their royal heads.
Charles l. declared his intention of re.
moving Scotland's famous relic to Lon.
don, so that such ceremonies could be
carried out at home, but the sturdy
Scots soon convinced him that such .
proceeding would be an infringement
upon their rights, SO the king had to
60 to Edinburgh as others had done
before. The wife Of q preacher by
the name of Granger once stole the
Scotch crown and the other royal in
signia-this in 1859 or 1858. At the
time Of the restoration they were
transferred to Charles II. They were
returned to Edinburgh castle in 17O7.
and have remained there ever since.

PUBLIC SCHOOL GLADlATORS.
Brains Alleged to BE Out OF FASHION,
While Muscle Is Worshiped.

Brains Alleged to BE Out Of Fashion,
While Muscle Is Worshiped.
CThe school board boy" is knocking
at the door. and the young gladiators
turned out at Eton, Harrow and Rugby
are rapidly coming, in their favorite
parlance, to be nowhere" This is
the opinion of DR.. Mitchell Banks, pro-
lessor Of anatomy at University col
lege, Liverpool, and his reason is, says
the London Daily News, that brains"
in this country have gone out OF fash
ion, while 1.-THE worship of muscle and
bone have been carried too far" Well
might the German schoolmaster say
that the English boy plays at his work
and works at his play. DIR. Mitchell
Banks has asked many proud mother
about her son at some public school,
and has been told with a radiant air:
"Oh, he is doing splendidly, getting on
so we'll"
This means that he is captain of the
school eleven, or has got into the first
football team. or is stroke of the
school boat. Never by any chance has
he heard of the boys position in his
class or form, or his progress in his
studies, of the prizes he has gained.
"In fact" continues this authority.
"the studious boy is regarded with
contempt by the great majority Of his
fellows. The very masters have to be
athletes. One knows the usual style
of advertisement for Junior MASTER
Must be Church of England and q
good cricketSr,' like the crack emf
grant ship of former days which was
advertised to carry cow and an ex-
perienced practitioner Hence too
often the expensive education Of the
Elton, Harrow and Rugby boys is found
only to have fitted them to 60 farming
in Manitoba, cattle ranching in Texas,
sheep raising in New Zealand, or bar
tending in Australia.

BOMBS THAT DIVE AND JUMP.

Marine Darts Of tho vesuvius Which Play
Leap Frog for Three Hundred Feet.
In the recent aiming trials on the
Vesuvius some of the darts after strik-
ing close before the target dived under
it for forty feet, then jumped clear of
the waves, then dived again. playing
the game Of marine leap frog for three
hundred feet. The great bombs, flying
for q mile and a half, rarely missed the
object aimed ut by more than a few
feet, and if a vessel had been in the
targets place it would assuredly have
been blown to atoms. A new explod-
ing device was used at these trials,
and it did not work we'll, but as there
are fuses which never fail, the system
OF throwing guncOttOn, or dynamite,
or gunpowder by compressed air is q
perfect success, even in a high cross
wind. What amount Of damage will be
done to q vessel when one of the five
UNDERGROUND charges is exploded ON
her deck it is impossible to state, since
1t never yet occurred; but according to
st. Nicholas it is reasonable to sup
pose, from the effect on rocks and
earth in land trials, that the ship must
be torn asunder and sunk on the in
slant.
1t will not always be the object of
the air gunners. however, to destroy a
vessel completely, for it is often more
desirable to disable a vessel and cap
ture her crew. To test this possibility
trials have been ordered in which o
ships boat while being lowed by q
long line from o steamer moving If
teen miles an hour will be fred at by
the Vesuvius, also going at full speed
and approaching IL from one side.
This will be known as the knowing
target" trial, and will be very interest
ing, for the object will be to hit as
near rs possible without actually strik-
ing the boat. It is claimed that if one
Of these bombs explodes near the side
Of . ship it win create such q concus-
sion of the air that the ships plates
will be loosened, her guns upset, her
machinery thrown out Of place, and her
boilers started leaking. And no doubt
her crew will gladly surrender before
\ second such visitation.

A LITTLE LOVE STORY.

1Aady wit Of . Young Woman Lsosens
thu Tongue Of . Modest Peer.
Here II . story of love and courtship,
told by Walter Besant in the London
Queen. There was a young lover who
was . compound-very rare-of high
rank and great abilities, with sweet
ness, great modesty and shyness. Most
noble lords know their own value, and
behave accordingly. This noble lord,
however, was modest. He thought
himself so far-so very far-below the
worth of the young lady whom he
loved that he was afraid to speak.
Some women do not understand this
modesty. Believe me, ladies, it's a
sure and certain sign of . noble char
acter, because only . lofty soul can
conceive the existence of q goddess;
we measure others, you see, by our
selves. It Is also sure sign of love,
because such man can only love a
woman whom he deeply respects. En-.
courage this modesty, my daughters;
above all, do not laugh at it. This
young man, therefore, was afraid to
speak. and the delay, which is at first,
/ am told. pleasing and exciting, be-
gan to grow monotonous.
One day they were playing cards for
money, after the fashion Of their gen.
Grafton. The lady won; the loser paid.
ut is" he said, half . crown.
wish. indeed, it were q crown"
"At least" replied the lady, 'vour
lordship can give me . coronet."
And behold . miracle! For his
tongue was loosened, and his eyes
glowed and his lips spake. They lived
happy, one may add. though it is an
unusual ending to . story. ever after
ward.

FUN FOR LITTLE JAPS.
Street Vendors Go About With Charcoal
Stoves on Which Children Bake Cakes.

Japan has been frequently referred
10 as the ''Children'S Paradise" and
with considerable justice, for in no
other country is childhood made SO
much Of. and are children surrounded
by so many devices for their amuse-
ment. In every town. according to DR..
W. ID. Eastlake in the Popular Science
Monthly. there are numbers of street
vendors and hawkers whose sole GUS
toners are children.
One class of these vendors carry two
charcoal stoves, or furnaces, swung in
the conventional manner of the country
from the ends of pole which rests
across the shoulder. Arriving at a con-
venient corner. the load is put down,
and a group of eager children quickly
gather. For the moderate sum OF one
or two rim the children are supplied
with a tiny cup OF sweetened batter
and a spoon. Thus equipped, they
proceed to bake their own cookies on
the smooth iron top Of the stoves, FASH

shape by the vender. The young GUS
toner dictates as to the figure, and
butterflies, flowers, gourds, or what
not are shaped from the sweet paste.
The children, after having satisfied
their taste for artistic design, eat the
finished work, the reed handle prevent
ing their fingers from becoming sticky.
There is another of the child amusers
that can be seen in the streets of Toxic
or any other Japanese city. This arti-
san molds fruits, flowers and vege-
tables from colored rice-dower dough,
and does his work SO deity that it ID
really difficult to distinguish the artifi-
cial from the real fruit. 81
This universal love and regard for
children is also displayed at every

BACTERIA AND 1ORACCO.
A Theory That Inoculstion May Improve
the Flavor OF the Leaf.

the Flavor of the Leaf.
1t would hardly he imagined that
there was much connection between
bacteria and tobacco. hut the progress
in the science Of bacteriolOgy, which
is now making such rapid strides, has
shown that such is the case. Although
some bacteria are SO deadly, others are
found to be Of the greatest possible
service To mankind. II has been dis
covered that these minute organisms
play an important part in determining
the quality of tobacco. The leaves of
the tobacco plant before they are
worked up into cigars and finally
handed over to the public undergo GER
tain Preventative changes. 1t was
formerly supposed that the alteration
in their condition thus brought about
was due to purely chemical changes,
but some experiments recently made
are regarded by the Louisville Courier
Journal as going to show that these
important results are brought about
by special micro-organisms. In a pa
per read before the German botanical
society. SEchland gives an account of
his investigations, on the bacteria
found in different kinds of tobacco.
He has examined fcrmented tobaccOs
from all parts of the world. and found
that they contain plenty of micro
organisms. although but few varieties,
as rule, but two or three different
species in any particular brand, and
but rarely micrococcus forms. He
finds that pure cultures of bacteria OBJ
tanned from one kind of tobacco and
inOculated on to another kind gener-
ated in the latter a taste and aroma re-
calling the taste and aroma of the
original tobacco from which the bac-
terra had been in the first instance OBJ
tanned. This discovery suggests great
possibilities. Thus, it is limited that in
the future it may be possible to raise
the quality OF German tobacco, not SO
much by careful culture and judicious
selection of varieties, which has so far
proved comparatively unsuccessful, as
by inoculating with pure cultures of
bacteria found in some of the fine for
eign tobacco, whereby corresponding
Preventative changes may be induced
in the German raw material, and the
quality improved accordingly. 1t will
be highly interesting to watch the
future results Of this transplanting OF
bacteria; If successful they will lead to
notifications and improvements in
| many industries.
