Answer to Minister Willis Request For
specifications Ready For Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The president,
it is understood, will not send to con-
gress the latest batch of Hawaiian cor
respondence, which includes President
Dole's reply to Minister Willis, until
Friday. The probability is that the sen
ate will not lie i'll session on that day,
and SO it will happen again, as in the
case Of the last two installments of
Hawaiian information, that the message
will go to the house alone. This, how
ever, could only be avoided by breaking
in upon the tariff debate in the house,
which the president is unwilling to
do. He will wait the expira-
ton of the time set for a vote
on the tariff bill before injecting another
exciting topic upon the attention of that
body. President Dole's reply has been
in the possession of the state department
since Saturday last. Those who have
been permitted to glance over it say it is
an exceedingly vigorous and pointed
document, about 10, 1000 words in length.
Minister Willis in his letter of Dec. 81,
asked for seven specifications. Presi-
dent Dole gives him about 30. Most Of
them, however, center round Mr.. Viii
lis first inquiry.

The conversation moved along with
the ticking of the little clock on one OF

that was prowling about knocked down
book from its place. The master
picked it up. 1t was copy OF 'Ben
Hur." The talk turned to the author.

talker, "if he had made any geograph-
ical mistakes In either Of his two last
works. He told me that in one OF the
best descriptions he had he was mis-
taken as to locality. I do not recall at
this moment what it was. But he said
that six months after the book was out
he received letter from woman call
ing his attention to the mistake. She
gave him all the evidence necessary TO
establish the truth Of her statement,
and his investigation corroborated what
she had written.

81 asked him that, and he said he
had not 1t was not because he did
not respect the woman, but he said II
he made the correction he would re-
move what had been an impression on
the minds Of many for years, and as the
mistake involved no infringement on

Amman. and the steam Engine

An engineer remarks on the strange
ness of the different manner In which
animals are affected by steam locomo-
tive. Dogs will run and bark al the
wheels, leaping about, but seldom get
hurt. Horses will race ahead OF the en-
CINE on the line, and sometimes will run
balfa mile before they can be driven of.
oxen can hardly be persuaded 10 get out
of the way. while calf will sometimes
stand on the line and stare at the loco
motive in blank establishment until
takan by the ears and dragged away.
Sheep are the most stupid. II enc at
tempts to cross in front Of a moving
engine the engineer may make up his
mind for an accident, for the balance OF
the drove insist on getting over or cy-
ing. Hogs pay very little attention to
An engine. They seem 10 regard it as
something quite out of their line and
no. in any way concerning them Sci

McKinleyism is the same wherever It
is fougd, and is is found wherever
MCKISLEY is to be found. Class legis-
lation It was in Congress when he was
there and class legislation it has been
in the Ohio Legislature, which adjourns
to-day. The latter body had no right
20 pass tariff law, but in every posi-
bic way it legislated in the interest Of
classes. A glance over the list Of laws
enacted will convince one that this is
90. There was some general legisla-
ton, but most Of the laws were passed
In the interest OF some particular class
of persons. regardless Of their effect on
the. seneral public. The wisest law
they passed was the one which provides
for biennial instead Of annual sessions,
and for that they are to be commended.

tion is evld encs Of desertion from De-
mocracy, there have been some, but
FOR the claims Of the Republican press
that there have been wholesale deser-
lions from Democracy there is not the
slightest foundation. There are as
many Democrats to-day as there ever
were. They are disappointed, but they
believe in the principles Of the party as
earnestly as ever aud have no thought
OF deserving Democracy. Seldom does
one OF these Republican papers mention
the name Of any one Of the persons
they charge with Hopping" The
charges are usually indefinite, and
when q name is given investigation
shows the charges to be false. The
Braxton county case is a good example
OF this. The charge was made, and
published broadcast that a family in
that county composed OF a man and
fourteen sons, all Of whom had long
been Democrats, had left the party,
destroyed a picture OF CLEVELAND,
and that all Of them in the future
would vote for the Republican candi-
dates. Even in this case the Repub-
lican papers gave no names, but from
the size Of the family and other mat
ters mentioned in the story those who
were meant were readily discovered
A prompt denial Of the story followed,
signed by every one OF the fifteen
who was at home ana published
in the Democratic papers. But not
withstandiDg the denial was pub
lished more than two weeks
ago, the Republican papers are stIl cir
culating the story. Regardless Of its
falsity they are still printing for their
readers this story of disgusted Demo-
Gratis who have left their party and
cast their lot among the Republicans.
And so it is with nearly all their stories
Of this nature. They are told to in
iuence the Democrats TO leave their
party, they are made up for the pur-
pose and the men who print them often
know that they are not true.
ANY person who would stop to think
a moment would know that the most Of
them are false. What could any Demo
crat expect to gain by going over to the
enemy? One Democrat who left his
party because he was not nominated
for Congress when he wanted to be has
recently been treated in the same way
by the Republicans. If Office is what
they have been fighting for they're
more apt to be recognized by stay
ing where they are than by
going among the men they have been
fighting right along and seeking recog-
Gi..on. II they have been Democrats
from principle and not for office, there
is every reason in the world why they
should not only remain Democrats, but
work more earnestly than ever in the
cause of Democracy. There is not only
the Republican party to oppose, but
the protective element Of the Demo
cratic party. To desert the party now
is TO leave it at the most critical mo-
ment, when the traitors have been
found and victory is in sight. They
are few indeed who have hitherto been
Democrats who will not remain so and
the statements of the Republican papers
should not be allowed to deceive. They
should be given thorough investigation
before they are believed.

WHAT CLOUDS ARE.
Scientists Studying the Altitudinons

bOules Oh NhpOEs
Clouds are simply form of water
made visible by the cooling Of the air
which previously held the water in the
form Of invisible vapour. Every cloud
may be regarded as the top Of an invis-
ible warm column or current thrusting
its way into a colder body OF air.
The comparative altitude OF cloud
may be judged, when there is no time
or opportunity TO make exact measure
ments, from its form and outline, Its
shape or shadow, It's apparent size and
movement, its perspective effect. and
the length Of time it remains directly IL
Illuminated after sunset. BY the lase
method Mr.. 1nwards states that some
clouds have been estimated to have been
at least ten miles above the surface OF
the earth.
The cloud velocities at high attitudes
have been carefully noted at the Blue
Hill Observatory, Mass, u. s., and
show, practically, that at about five
miles in height the velocities are three
times as fast in summer and six times
in winter as the velocities OF the cur

that day to this. He has just

been a sailor since 1888. In the
course of his long career as matter
mariner he has never lost life. After
entering the Cunard service he traded
TO Havre and Mediterranean ports for

was appointed to the command oil the

then he has successfully been captain
of the Strombol, Tripoli, Abyssinia,

Charged to striking Miners In the BIZ

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, May 20.-The
striking miners at Pratt mines are held
responsible for cowardly assassination
which occurred at that place this morn

the honse of Walter Glover, a
miner who had refused to strike,
and called him out, telling him
that they were officers and desired to
see him. Glover opened his door when
a volley was fired. Glover's body was
riddled with bullets and he died il
stantly. The mob fed closely pursued
by Deputy SherIffs Hickman and Mas
sey, who were armed with rifles. Three
OF them were arrested later. Great ex-
element prevails at Pratt Mines and
further trouble is feared.
