THE SAMOAN EMBASSY.

In pursuance of the policy announ-
ced in Gibson's famous protest to the
other great powers, and in order to
advance Hawaii's claim to the ''pri-
macy of the Pacific" Hon. ]. E. Bush
was commissioned on the 23d of De-
cember, 1856, as Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister PlenipOtentiary to the
King of Samoa and the King of Ton
ga, and High Commissioners to the
other independent chiefs and peoples
of Polynesia. He was accompanied

THE OPIUM BILL.

An Opium-license bill was intro
duced towards the end of the session
by Kaunamano, one of the kings
tools, and after long debate carried
over the votes of the Ministry by
bare majority. 1t provided that
license for four years should be grant
ed to "sOme one applying therefor"
by the Minister of the Interior, with
the consent of the king, for 5000
per annum. The object of this provi-
sion was plainly seen at the time, and
its after consequences were destined
to be disastrous to its author. Mr..
Dole proposed an amendment that the
license be sold at public auction at an
upset price of $4,000, which, however,
was defeated by majority of one,
only one white man, F. II. Haysel-
den, voting with the majority.
Another act was passed to create

Phineas Fluke's %thunderous tones shook

Withdrew the scarf-pin from the fragment

With an awful gurgle, the villain fell
prone at his feet.
Phineas lifted the body up carefully and
placed it in the sink, that the great jets of
blood might not stain the clean, white floor
ing. Then he calmly lighted a cigarette,
and carried the helpless beauty out of the
burning building to a place OF safety.

The North Dakota and Northern Min

From pictures and descriptions pub

fall. He hailed from Minneapolis. and
obtained his job through recommends

should prove an inspiration to discour-
aged democratic and populistic cam
paign stump-speakers, and show them
a path out Of the wilderness, I shall feel
that my work has not been in vain.
What is needed in this advanced liter
ary period is a style of novel which shall
contain more thrilling events to the
square inch, and less tedium Of descrip-
ton. The reading public Of today has too
little spare time, to fritter it away upon
useless description. It wants plan facts,
boldly stated, and weaved into a delir-
ious ecatasy of excitement. Amelie
Rives and H. Rider Haggard do fairly
we'll, but even they fail to quite reach
the standard Of realism which is needed.
And to satisfy the restless craving upon
the part Of the public for some such
class Of literature, I have devised a
scheme for a ]ove-story, which is certain
of success. I outline it briefly, as fol-
lows:

Election

From the election returns by counties,
it appears that Gov. Allin received q ma
jority or plurality in every county in the
state, the county which came nearest to
being carried against him being Cava-
lier, where he has a plurality of one
vote over F. NJ. Kinter. On the whole
ticket, seven counties, only, gave major
tiles against the republicans-Barnes,
Bottineau, Cavalier, D1ckey, Pembina,
Sargent and Walsh. The largest actual
majority or plurality for congressman
was given by Grand Forks county, with
1862, and the largest proportionate ma
jority was given by Mercer county,
which went 10 to l for the republicans.
The prohibitionist strength seems to
have been decreased largely, as the pro-
hibltion candidate for congress received
but 439 votes; for commissioner of agri.
culture but 66l votes, and for auditor
6M votes, while e. E.. Saunders, the
noblest Roman of them all, polled but
8A votes. The constitutional amend
ment appears to have been popular, and
but three counties voted against it
Billings, Oliver and Williams. General
standish appears to lead the pop ticket,
polling LOO more votes than Wallace
and $500 more than Newton.

When Evangelical Sweetmeat came to her
senses, she had regained consciousness.
"Where am IW she queried, wonder
ingly.
"You are here" said Phineas Fluke,
lucidly.
"Did l escape death, or was I murdered
in cold blood ?" she asked, feverishly.
"You were not killed.. exclaimed
Pblneas Fluke, hastily. but saved by a
lucky circumstance. In letting myself
down from the sixth story to the fifth, 1
fell, and lost consciousness. Down, down
l plunged, breaking through five floors in
turn, until l reached the scene of your mar
row escape. The floor of your room being
upon the ground, I did not break through,
but stopped with a sudden jerk. The
shock revived me. l. was just in time to
save you, and mete out to your villainous
assailant his just reward. The rest you
do not know"
"Ihen l owe you my life," she said, tim.
idly, after weighing the whole matter over
carefully in her mind.
you owe me nothing said Phineas
proudly. "But, although have never seen
you before today, l will marry you if you
wish it.'

Phineas and Evangelical were married

The advantage Of this class Of litera-

exist, so long as people are forced to
wade through hundreds of pages Of use
less description and unnecessary side
issues, in order to get at the meat Of a
story. "A complete set Of all great au-
thors could be compiled at a small cost,

struck him.
Mud Turtle Flats, the home of Phineas,
were a mass of flames.
Escape was impossible.
"Horrors!' muttered Phineas desper-
ately. "Must l die like a rat in a trap 2"
With desperate energy he tore up a large
section Of flooring and looked down to the
hoor beneath. Hastily loosing his new fall
necktie, he fastened it securely to the bed
stead, and slowly lowered himself by this
means through the cavity in the flooring.
Suddenly he heard a ripping sound. The
necktie was giving way. A cold sweat
stood out on his forehead. Large beads of
perspirat;on, resembling the marbles he
had played with in his youth, ran down
into his trousers pockets.
"Lost! Lostw he shrieked.
With a wild cry he lost consciousness so
utterly that the whole Mudlawn police
force failed to track it to Its lair in three
days search.

echoed ana reverberated in the still, mid
night air.
Trousering with excitement, she stood
horror stricken on the ground floor OF the
MUG Turtle flats. A low-browed villain
stood over her, with bludgeon appraised,
ready to spatter her fair young brains to
the four winds.
"The diamonds!' he Kissed through his
set teeth. Speak woman, or your life shall

Spare me" she shuddered. II am young,

in a dead faint on the half raised cellar
door.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 9.--Mayor
Woodward and Mr.. R. L. Belknap re-

afternoon a meeting OF the general relief
committee for fire eufferers was held
One of the chief features of the meeting
was the discussion of Governor Peck Q
manifesto to the effect that no outside
help is required for fire sufferers, as far
Wisconsin is concerned. The general
relief committee of this city, which la
acting without state lines, criticised the
the action of the governor today, and the
opinion Was expressed that he had acted
without proper investigation into the
requirements OF the sufferers. Mayor
Woodward's action in calling for help
outside OF the state was unmistaka bly,
approved, and the various newspapers
and others whom he had seen in the
east, were notified to that effect by tel
egrsph.
Mayor Woodward tonight telegraphed
Governor Peck asking him il ne had in.

Seventeen hungry and exhausted fire
