PECULIAR TURN OF AFFAIRS AT
HAWAII.
United States Government VIII
Doubtless Find it Necessary to In
terfere TO Save the Lives of It's
Citizens.

Washington, Feb. S.-The affairs in
Hawaii have taken a turn that will
cause interference of the United States
government again, as is evident by
two kilograms sent to Congress by
the president today. The first is from
United States Minister Willis to Secre-
tary Gresham, dated Honolulu, Janu-
airy so, wired from San Francisco,
February 6, and reading as follows:
''The revolt was over on the 9th.

and has tried thirty-eight cases. Two
hundred or more are to be tried, and
daily arrests occur.

Richard, an EngHshman, have been

army, is sentenced to Imprisonment
for life and $4,000 fine.
The other sentences are not dis

In response to the above, Secretary
Gresham addressed the following tele

Forest City, Ark, Feb. S.-Meagre
details are received here tonight of the
explosion near Madison, on the st.
Francis river, of the Cyclone, river
steamboat of considerable capacity.
1t is reported that those aboard, con-
sisting of nine persons. were blown to
atoms.
The boat left Madison early this
morning on a trip down the river, car
rying two families, whose names are
not given, and a small crew.
Her cargo included several barrels Of
gasoline. The boat had reached a cut
off four miles from Madison, when,
without the least warning, the explo-
sion occurred, wrecking the craft and
tossing those on board high in the
air.
None lived to tell the tale, all being
torn to shreds.
The explosion was terrific and was
heard three miles distant. Owing to
the extreme isolation OF the scene and
the poor telegraph connections caused
by inclement weather, further details
Of the disaster are unobtaindble to-

Minneapolis, Feb. S.-Mr. Erwin was
not present when the Hayward MUIR
der trial was resumed this morning,
and it was inferred that his long bout
with Blixt in the cross-eXamination
had exhausted him. The cross-examin-

who elected nothing of Importance.

stances being woven about Harry Hay
ward grows more tight with every
hour. Even the place, hour and day
of Hayward's purchase of that half
pint bottle of whisky, presumably to
furnish Blixt with nerve to do his
murderous work, was shown.
This afternoon j. W. Featherspoon,
elevator man at the Oneida building;
corroborated Blixt's story of how Miss
Cling signed the $1,000 note to Hayward
In his office and how he and Blixt wit
messed the signature.
Then Harry Spencer, waiter, told
how Harry Hayward and Miss Cling
came to the restaurant, saying:

ticed a roll of money. Hayward said
to me: Don't you think it's foolish
for a young woman to show so much
money-$2, O00?'. II conceded with
him."

Louise Ireland, niece of Miss Cling,
testified that Hayward was in Miss
Ging's rooms nearly every night, but
his conduct was perfectly proper. She

MORKING THE RTLI..

At the Ohio state university they
work the bull, we are told by the Ag-
ricultural Student They had two ser
vice bulls that had been spending teir
time in paving up the yard and
breaking down the gates by way of
expanding their energy. They have
now been put to work, and one bull
hauls as large loads as a 1,O00-pound
horse will. A Shorthorn bull was
taught in two weeks to work and guide
with bit and lines. He hauled all the
corn for soiling thirty-one cows, as
well as the manure from the stables.
The manner of Harvesting him is cop
led from the old German way OF hitch
ing I'D oxen. y wide strip passes
around in front of his head between
the horns and the eyes, and by this
the load is pulled. The rest of the har-
ness is the common cart harness that
is used on horses. The headgear lSPks
somewhat like a breast strap or ol-
lar. 1t is padded like the latter1 1t
is four feet long and the padded Por-
ton is two feet long and three inches
wide Each end of the leather ~ a
ring in it, to which the cart chain nay
be fastened. The straps, which are
fastened to the collar and pass over
the head and behind the horns, should
be fifteen inches part. These hold
the collar in place. They are buckled
behind the horns and on top Of the
head. Just below where these straps
are fastened are attached the cheek
which hold the bit. They think the check
straps, however, should be little far
3 Their back rather than directly under
/ the head strap, as they cover the bulls
eyes if they are too far forward. These
straps should be fifteen inches long.
| If you have no cart they think that
a common buck pad with breechtnT
and hold-backs would take the place
of the cart harness. Tugs of either
rope, leather or chain might be used
I This would make a harness suitable
for hitching to a spring wagon or to
a lumber wagon. They say: NO one
would recommend keeping a bull for
work only. But it does seem that
when one can be broken so easily and
in so short a time, the practice of us
ing a bull for such work should be
/ recommended to dairymen who are
working under conditions similar to
ours. While it not only pays from the
amount of work obtained, it will also
give the bull exercise and make him
more dOcile.''

CHARITY ASKED,

Still the applications for charity
pour in upon the county selectmen.
There were a number of applicants
yesterday, ali of whom tell the same
story as regards their needs. Coal,
bacon and flour appear to be badly
needed in the majority of cases.
Among the callers yesterday was an
old man. who says he has a son as
large as himself, but when one of
them goes out to look for work the
other is Obliged to remain at home,
for the reason that they have only one

New York, Feb. S-The World this
morning says: Commissioner of Emil
grafton Joseph Senner had his atten-
ton called about six weeks ago to the
fact that emigrants who had been Or
dered deported from this port were
seen in different parts of the country
after the steamer on which they were
placed had sailed. He immediately
set about to investigate and his efforts
have not only disclosed frauds of a
serious character, for the punishment
of which legal proceedings will soon be
instituted, but will lead to a revision
of the rules regulating the deportation
of foreign paupers, criminals, contract
laborers, etc.
The immigrants who are booked for
deportation are taken from Ellis is

early morning hours late in the after

THE GRINDsTONE.

No implement on the farm do I think
more of than my grindstone. I have
no money better invested than was spent
in its purchase, and none of my time is
better spent than in keeping my tools
and implements sharp. Work is hard
enough with implements in good cOndi-
ton. When they get dull l find it a gain
of time to stop and grind them. With
them sharp work is not only easier, but
quicker done and better. There IS con-
says W. G. N. Stone in the Practical
Farmer.
What the grindstone is to the farmers
implements, the agricultural literature
he reads is to the mind. To carry on a
farm in these days of competition and
low prices, the mind, the judgment, the
wits need to be sharp and keen. One
must read and let his brain rub against
the thour1hts and experiences of others
He must keep pace with the world. The
mechanic takes and reads his approprl-
ate literature; the merchant his own
trade paper; the scientist his. and so on
through the long list of vocations and
aallings. They must do this or fall be-
hind in the race of business and pur-
suits. The successful farmer muse do no
less. Their wrestle. is with men; his with
nature, and if there is any dinerence, ne
needs more study, more light and more
sagacity. The mind unaided grows
weary settles into a rut, loses its elias
ITCHY, and becomes dull and automatic.
Good agricultural literature, like a good
grindstone, sharpens the mind, gives
edge to thought and energy to the will.
Note the farms you see; fields, fences,
crops and stock; all tell whether their
owners read and and think. Good papers

La GASOGNE LOST.
But Little Hope the Ship Will Ever
BE Henrd From.

DuE Llllle nope the SNIP VIII Ever
Be Heard From.
New York. Feb Slope for the La
Gascogne was buoyed up for time by
a report from Fire Island that a big
steamer was sighted off that point about
o'clock tonight. Nothing further was
seen of the vessel until 1880 when the
marine observer at Sandy Hook saw
steamship outside the harbor. The yes
sci did not signal and as the weather be-
came thick she was lost sight of.
At p. m, the observer again saw the
vessel at anchor. He flashed a lantern
but could get no. signal from her. 1t is
supposed that she might be either the
Teutonic Rhineland or Manitoba, all of
which was overdue. If 1t was the La Gas
cogne, Captain Baudeton would have
signalled on account of his being so long
overdue.
Fear for the safety Of the La Gascogne
is beginning to ill the minds of shipping
men. While the agents continue to as
sure the friends OF passengers that the
steamship is safe, the belief is forcing
itself on their minds that something ex-
traordinary has happened to the French
ship. An eager multitude lowered about
the Office OF the company on Bowling
Green today, waiting for news Of the
missing vessel
Nothing in the way of consolation from
the officials OF the company could be had

Policy of y on-Tntervention-
Mr.. Morgan then turned his attention
to the latest dispatch Of Mr.. Willis. He
In so doing he asked what the United
States Senate would do if Mr.. holo
sought to forcibly assert his right, as
governor of Alabama, and in doing so a
citizen was killed. In that case, it was
not for the United States Senate or the
federal government to act. And so With
Hawaii. We had no concern with ner
affairs. If Hawaii made a mistake, she
must abide by it. For himself, MIR. Nor
gan said he would have more respecL
for Hawaii If she shot traitor than If
she forgave him. But the best thing for
the United States to do was to keep out
of this new phase of the subject.
Mr.. Hawley questioned the. correctness
of MIR. Morgan's doctrine of non-inter-,
vendon. He said it would be construed
as approving OF HaWaii'S purpose TO exc
cute those now imprisoned.
Mr.. Morgan rose to say he SIMPLY
left alone.
Mr.. Hawley said he had a personal in
terest in the latest adVices from Hawaii;
known to him. The senator paid the
highest tribute to Mr.. Stewards ability,
and said it was ridiculous to charge him
with this conspiracy.
Cold, Naked Facts.
Mr.. Hale earnestly protested against
Mr.. Morgan'S apparent approval of the
course of the Hawaiian government in
imposing the death penalty.
Mr.. Morgan-I gave no approval. L
stated cold, naked facts; would not i'm
plicate him with the execution of any cit
izen of Hawaii; but am speaking of her
rights as a government.
Mr.. Hale proceeded to urge that the
Hawaiian government was making a
grave mistake. Sentence by military tri-
bunalS was not according to our method.
"What of Mrs. Surrat, of Captain
WirtZ-what of those summary tribu-
nals?" asked Mr.. Morgan.
But we would not follow those exam
PIES" said Mr.. Berry, of Arkansas.
VIII Lose Sympathy.
Resuming, Mr. Hale said that the leni-
ency of the north at the close of the
rebellion had been a marvel to the world:
Then the senator said: "And if Hawaii
now proceeds with these executions she
and of South America, rather than those
of this country, for this young republic
should be warned in time that the senti-
ment thus far favorable to them would
be quickly changed if these executions
occur. The American people have, thus
far, sympathized with Hawaii, but there
will be a speedy. change if this barbarous
course is pursued
Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Call said they wished
to be put on record as heartily sympath-
izing with the protest expressed by Mr..
Hale,
The diplomatic and consular bill was
then laid aside.
AT $40 p. M, the Senate held a brief
executive session and then adjourned.
