Ashford's Sentence.
V. V. Ashford, charged with mis-
prison of treason, was found guilty and
sentenced to one year in jail and fined
Honolulu since about 1884. He was
banished several years ago for con-
spiracy against the monarchy.
Twenty three natives, convicted

years. In one case a fine of S., 900
was RENTED by President Dole. Prince
David has been found guilty. His SEN
tence has not been made public. Thir-
teen persons are at liberty with the

queen May Leave Hawaii.
1t is understood that the queen sem
tence will be five years for tie part she
has taken in the trouble. Probably
She win be allowed 10 leave the coun-
try without serving the sentence if she
SO desires. Twenty-four natives have
been sentenced to prison for terms
ranging from seven to eight years.
The sentences found instant favor
among the people generally, though
some thought Ripikane at least should
have been summarily dealt with.
No Executions Yet.
In regard to the dispatch sent by
Secretary Gresham to Minister Willis
about demanding delay of execution,
Attorney General Smith stated that
the government had no intention of exc
cutting the condemned men until
the military court concluded it's
labors and every fact bearing
on the case was brought out. Mr.
Smith intimated nothing would be
done until the United States govern
ment is in possession of the facts in
each ease. According to the attorney
general the queen will not be sent out
of the country.

A Broken Column.

The relatives and friends of Tom
Foster will read with interest the
able obituary notice in this issee
written by Mr.. Seaton. The subject
has been SO well and so thoroughly
treated by him that nothing remains
to be said
Tom Foster was one Of the ablest
and most promising young men ever
sent out from lancaster He was
universally respecte,. and loved from
a boy until bis death.
Some idea Of the esteem had for
him in Cherokee may be known from
the fact that on the day Of his funeral
the public SCHOOLS were closed busi-
ness suspended, flags displayed at
half mast and everything possible
done to show the universal feeling Of
honor and love.
Ear in his school life he showed
marked ability as public speaker.
and this power combined with his
well known industry would no doubt
have won for him national reputa-
ton had he been spared few years
more. His whole life was spent in
study and preparation, and now that
he was ready to reap the reward Of
his labor il seems extremely sad that
he was not spared to enjoy il.

OHIO MINERS.
Reports Show a Distressing Condition of
Affairs.


CoLUNBUs, o., Feb. 23.-The commits
sion appointed at the instance of Gov.
Mckinley by the boards OF trade and
chambers of commerce of Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo, to
make on official investiga ton of
the restitution of the miners
in the Hooking and Sunday
Creek valleys, have discovered some
startling facts. In the localities so far
visited the commission has discovered
that each,miner last year earned only
from SIS to s125, largely because of the
great national strike, and that by
working regularly they could have
earned from 81 to So every day.
1t was also stated that of the 10000
or $4,000 miners in the two valleys,
fully one-third, representing, with
their families, nearly $4,000 persons,
are in greater or less distress.
With reference to future prospects,
all the miners declare they are not
encouraging. They are almost unit
in declaring that there are at least 80
per cent. too many miners in the two
valleys for the amount of work that
can be supplied, and many of them are
making preparations to locate on farms
or seek other employment.

Plantation Negro. Love Of Hunting.

It is the abundance Of game Of all
kinds and Of fish which makes the plan
tation negroes so improvident The love
of hunting is passion with the south

place. If one of the fieldhands plow-
ing, hoeing or harvesting sees chance
for good shot, such as evidences Of the
close proximity of fox, wild turkeys
tracks in the soft soil, indication that a
possum lodges in some tree or big
owl caught far from its haunts by day
light, he telegraphs his valuable infor-
nation in some mysterious way to his
employers up at the house. In a twin
king guns are loaded, horses are mount

hot pursuit is made for the lately
discovered denizen Of the woods The
first time in his life that negro boy
has anything which he can call his own
he swaps it for dog that can run rab-
bits He trains the dog to bring those
rabbits to him when they are caught, no

A Country without q Navy.

Belgium is peculiar among European
countries having water front from the
fact that it has no navy. This is more
remarkable when it is considered that
Belgium includes within it's borders one
Of the oldest harbors in Europe, Ant.
werp, which at the zenith Of it's COM
mercial success had as many as 1000
ships. The commerce of Antwerp is still
considerable, and fair share Of it is
done with the United States.
When the war of 1880 eliminated in
the independence of Belgium from the
rule of the Netherlands, the two coun-
tries were so divided that Holland had
the larger share of the seacoast line, and
Belgium had larger measure Of the in
land territory. Holland retained all the
colonial possessions of the two coun-
tries, and in order to keep up connection
with them and protect them from hos
tile assault the navy was maintained by
Holland. Belgium, having no foreign
colonies to protect, was under no obliga-
tions to maintain navy. Holland has
now considerable navy, including 100
ships and $500 sailors, but Belgium is
able to get along without any navy at
all, though the Belgium army, on
peace footing, is 1000 men stronger
than the Dutch army and on war foot
ing has 100000 men more.-New York

DOGS Better THAN BULLETS.
Prisoners In q Texas Jail Guarded by
Half q Hundred Fierce Brutes.

Convicts in the state prison at Hunts.
vile, Tex, arc guarded while at work on
the roads by huge dogs There Is reg
ular breeding establishment in the prison
for raising the dogs, and the kennels con-
tain 40 or so of them.
These dogs, which are the same rs those
of which Prince Bismarck is so fond, are
known in this country rs Great Danes
In Germany, whence the breed had its or
igin, they are called the Ulmcr dog. Those
used at Huntsville are crossed with the
mastiff, and the resultant breed is fierce.
courageous and very powerful animal.
While at work the convicts are guarded
both by the wardcrs and the dogs. The
armed wardcrs are stationed about so feet
apart, and between each are couple of
the dogs, who lie peacefully enough while
all is quiet, but at the first unusua! sound
are instantly on the alert Should con
vict make u desperate break for liberty Ec
would be pulled down and torn piecemcal
before he had gone 100 feet.
Unlike bloodhounds, who will not ut
tack their game when ovcrtaken, but only
give tongue these dogs cannot be called
off, and in escaping convict is certain To
be killed. Needless to say, attempts at
escape are not frequent A negro who
made u bold dash for liberty was caught
by two of the hounds and torn to pieces
before he had gone 80 yards. These acct
dents figure in the reports us 'shot while
trying to escape" 1t is rare, however,
that shot is fired by the guards. There
is reason to believe that they prefer to src
a man run down to sending bullet
through him. The life of Il convict guard
is very monotonous one. His duties con
sist mainly in marching up and down, rifle
on shoulder, by the side of a gang of con.
vcts Such II break in tho monotony us u
man hunt is too tempting to let slip, and
compassion for 'grcascr" is altogether
unknown.
These drastic measures for guarding the
gangs are to certain extent necessary,
owing to the desperate character of the
majority of the prisoners. They consist
mainly of that mixture of negro, Indian
and Mexican blood from which comes the
"grcaser, rs he is scontcmptuously termed
Cor. New York World.
