Lieut.. Commander w. T. SWIM
BURNE, U. 5. Navy, Executive
officer, q. S. S. Boston:
SIR. You will take command of
the battalion and land in Honolulu
for the purpose of protecting our lega-
ton, consulate, and the lives and
property of American citizens, and to
assist in preserving public order.
Great prudence must be exercised
by both officers and men, and no
action taken that is not fully war
ranted by the condition of affairs and
by the conduct of those who may be
inimical to the treaty rights of Amer
an citizens.
lcYou will inform me at the earliest
Practicable moment of any change in
the situation.

THE PHANTOM ARMY.

And eaw q phantom army come,
With never a sound of fife or drum,
But keeping stop TO a muflled hum
OF wailing lamentations;
The martyred heroes of Malvern Hill.
OF Gettysburg and Chanccllorsville-
The men whose wasted bodies fill
Tho patriot graves of the nation.
And there came iDr unknown dead, the men
Who died In fever swamp and fen,
The slowly starved of prison pen,
And marching beside the others
Came the dusky martyrs Of Pillows fight,
With limbs enfranchised and bearing bright
j thought-'twas the pale moonlight
They looked as white as their brothers.
And SO all night marched the nations dead,
With never a banner above them spread,
No sign save the bare, uncovered head
OF their silent, grim reviewer,
With never an arch hut the vaulted sky,
With not a flower save those which lie
On distant graves, for love could buy
No gift that was purer or truer.
So all night long moved the strange array,
b all night long TIL the break of day
Watched for one who had passed away
With O reverent awe and wonder,
Till blue cap waved In tho lengthening line,
Till know that one who was kin Of mine
Had come. and spoke-and, 10! that sign
Awakened me from my slumber.

the mysterious submarine disturbance
and running rapidly backward.
Late that afternoon the schooner
Polyanthus again picked up her moor
ings off the glistening coral beach, and
the young wreclSers made their way to
the little house beneath the cocoanuts,
in which their stepmother, as yet un-
conscious Of their return, sat nearly dis
.raA,ted by sudden accumulation of
troubles. She was wild with anxiety
over Grit and Matey A man had come
from Key West to look at the Polyan-
thus with view to purchasing her, but
finding her absent and being pressed for
time had gone away again. He had,
moreover, left behind him letter from
the northern commission house to which
Mrs. Albury had sent her tomatoes,
stating that the entire shipment had ar
rived spoiled and unsalable SO that in
stead of being entitled to returns from
them she was indebted for freight
charges.
AS the poor woman sat quite over
whelmed by her misfortunes there came
an exulting shout outside, and the next
moment Grit and Matey rushed in,
alive, we'll and breathless with excite
ment.
"Hurrah, motherl' cried the former

"What on earth do you crazy chill

slowly as she took the New York draft
for $500 from Grits hands to examine
it, ''How could mere boy and still
younger girl like you two wreck big

Tho Stars and Stripes.

The United States flag was first sa-
luted by o Foreign power when the ship
Ranger, in command Of Captain Paul
Jones, entered Quiberon bay, France,
Feb. IA, 177S, the salute being given
by Admiral la Motte, representing the
French government. The first American
flag flown in foreign port was from
the truck of the brig Nancy, in COM
mand of Captain Hugh Montgomery, at
st. Thomas in l776. The first time it
was displayed ON fortress of the old
world was on April 27, 1905, at Tripoli,
when the 15 starred and striped flag
was raised in victory.
1t was said to have been raised over
Fort Nassau, New Providence, on the
2Sth of January, ITS, when Captain
John Rathburne took possession Of the
fort and captured several prizes in the
harbor. This also is supposed to be one
of the first occasions on which the Amer
lean flag was nailed to its staff in token
of absolute defiance, as the people of the
city had gathered 500 strong to demand
the surrender of the fort.
The honor Of having first hoisted the
flag in an English port after the treaty
of 1888 belongs to the Bedford Of Nan
tucket, commanded by Captain William
Mooers and owned by William Rotch
of New Bedford The Bedford arrived
in The Downs Feb. 8, 1883, with 467
butts Of whale oil. The Political Mag
azine. of that date says, "This is the
first vessel which has displayed the 10
rebellious stripes Of America in any
British port New York Sun.

Handel's Plagiarisms.

As plagiarist Handel claims special
attention. Other mems musical ideas
crowded upon his receptive mind as
lavishly as did his own, and he seems to
have turned them very largely to ac-
count. A later age, with more soruti-
nizing eye and analytical craze than his
own, has discovered that Handel has
justly entitled himself to the reputation
Of being a musical pirate, as bold and
barefaced as was ever abroad. He did
not merely borrow ideas - he lifted
whole movements en- bloc.
One charge will suffice. although
Erba, Stradella, Colonna and others have
all been laid under contribution. When
in 1743 grateful nation returned
thanks for the battle of Dettingen, Han
del provided ''Te Deum," presumably
of his own composition. 1t has been dis.
covered, however, that the composition
is mainly the music of ''Te Deum" by
Uric, who was chapel master in
Venice in the seventeenth century.
No less than nine movements in the
"DettingenT Te Deum" and six In "Sat,l"
are "cribs' of an amazing and au-
dacious nature for Urio's work What
induced Handel to thus appropriate and
palm off as his own other mems worh
no one has discovered. 1t is a great blot
on an otherwise honorable artistic ca
reer and is the less exousable because
it must have been even less trouble for
him to write an original movement than
to copy one. ---Blaokwood's Magazine.
The White Tailed Gnu.
The white tailed gnu is dead. He had
been ailing for the past two months.
Recently he bit at the tip of his tail,
which was brushing flies from his back,
and before he realized what he was do
ing swallowed q piece of the thonglille
appendage Since then he rapidly de-
clined. It was said that the animal
showed signs Of insanity. .--Philadslphia

The Great Northern Railroad Strike
to be Fought Out
AND THISMAY MEAN BLOODSHED.
The Conference Between the
American Railway Union and
the Management Proved Un-
availing and Neither Side VIII
Ask a Meeting-The Manage
ment Will Attempt to Run the
Road Without Considering the
Union.

ST. PUAL, MINI, April 26.-All over
lures for a peaceful settlement OF the
Great Northern Railroad strike have
been declared of and the company and
the American Union have begun a
test of strength that may cause consid-
erable bloodshed before it ends.
During the time the strikers have
been preventing the running OF the
road, n committee of 33 members OF the
A. R. q. employees OF the road has been
assembled in this city in accordance
with a reply favorable to request for a
conference with the officials of the road.
When President Hill and the COM
mittee came together yesterday
the men demanded as the first condition
that the road grant all their demands
for the renewal OF the wage schedules
in force prior to last August. This,
Mr.. Hill declined, and the day ended
without conclusion being reached.
THE CONFERENCE WAS RESUMED
to-day. Late this afternoon the men
sent a brief communication to Presi-
dent Hill unc additionally rejecting his
proposal for arbitration, renewing their
demand for the old schedules, and
giving him to understand that this is
their ultinatum. Mr.. Hill sent re-
ply to the men tonight in which he
SAYS the action Of the men ends all
conference negotiations so far as ne is
concerned.
He will no longer recognize the Amer
ican Railway Union, and will at once
proceed to operate the Great Northern
road without regard to that organiza-
tion.
A very important side issue In this
contest is the fact that the strike was
declared and is being managed by the
new organization, the American Rail-
way Union, practically in opposition TO
the Federated Brotherhoods OF Rail-
way Engineers, Firemen, Conductors
and Trainmen.

Twenty Strikers Released.

UNIoNTowN, PA, April 26.-At the
hearing in the murder cases to-day,
twenty of the fortv-nine strikers held
Yesterday for the murder Of Chief En-
gineer Paddock were discharged by the
Court. Rev. DR.. 0rback, who inter-
ested himself IN the prisoners cases and
notified the representatives Of the Aus
trian and German Governments that
the accused were badly treated, was
present and was severely censured by
the Court for the improper manner in
which he had been acting while visit
It the Jail here. 1t appears that he had
been giving instructions to the authori-
ties, and in many ways violating the
privileges accorded to visitors. Rev. Or
back claims the charges are untrue.

Brazil, IND, April 26.-The miners
of the block fields of Indiana will join
the general strike. The block miners
had agreed with the operators TO work
until May /, but the bituminous miners
have formed mobs to induce the men to

make argument dOubly forcible with
blows. Yesterday the bituminous
miners divided into two mobs, and
headed by bands Of music started on a

work. They also visited the Eureka
pany with similar success. The en-
ployes in the Brazil Block Company's
mine No S came out last night, and the
men in Nos. 3, aud 9 agreed 10 come
out tonight. About 200 bituminous
men headed by a band went to Casey
vile, and induced the men in the mine
there TO join them. The btuminOus
miners are determined that the block
men shall join them, and by tomorrow
it is said there will not be a mine in the
whole block coal district in operation.

FEAR OF a CONFLICT
Between Union ana Non-Union Miners in
Illinois.

2liiuOiS.
SPRING VALLEY, Ills, April 26.-In-
tense excitement prevails here to-day
over the coal miners strike, and strong
fears are expressed that conflict be-
tween the strikers and men who refuse
to leave their work will result In riot
and bloodshed. The center OF the con-
fict will be Tolman, where the miners
refuse 10 quit their work. A committee
went from La Sale to persuade them to
Join the strikers, bnt it returned with
report that the men in the mines there
absolutely refused to lay down their
tools, or to help the strikers in any
way. A meeting Of the strikers was i'm
mediately held, at which this report
was presented, and it was determined
that from 1000 to 5000 men from La
Sale, Perue, Oglesby, Spring Valley.
Seaton, Ladd and Laceyvlle should or
ganizs and march in body to Tolman
and compel the men at work there TO de-
sst. The mine owners have provided
themselves with arms and ammunition
In abundance. Feeling Is running very
high here against the men who have re-
fused to quit work, and should they fall
into the hands Of the strikers little mer-
cy would be shown them.

Members OF the Rouse Must Certify
Their Time 20 the Speaker.

Ihetr Time TO the speaker
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 26.-The
attempt TO enforce the law OF 1856 TO
"dock" members OF the House for aD.
sence except on account Of sickness,
was challenged by Mr.. Mahon, rep,
Pennsylvania to-day, by rising to q
question of privilege and offering a res
olutIon directing the Sergeant-at-Arms
to pay members their salaries without
deduction on account of absence, unless
such absence is first certified by some
duly authorized officer OF the House. A
point of order was raised by Mr.. Kill
gore and supported by several Demo-
Gratis, that the resolution did not pre-
sent a question Of privilege. The point
was sustained by the Speaker. on the
ground that it was matter OF law and
not under the control of the House.
But that is not the law" interjected
Mr.. Reed.
That is not a question for the House
to determine" said the Speaker, and he
added that he should decline TO certify
to salaries unless members Informed
him how much salary was due them.
Another resolution was promptly Of
fered by Mr.. Mahon declaring that the
Sergeant-at-Arms in the absence OF any
rule has no authority to require mem
bers to report absences and the reasons
therefor. This also was ruled out OF
order, and an appeal was laid on the
table by strict party vote, except
that Mr.. Lucas (Rep., South Da-
kota) voted with the Demo
Gratis. The House then went into
Committee OF the Whole on the Dplo-
matte and Appropriation bill. Debate
proceeded during the afternoon In a
desultory manner, on small unimport-
ant amendments, none OF which were
adopted.
When the bill was completed, the
committee arose. The bill, as passed,
