LADYBIRDS GOOD WORK.
Resident of HilO Attests to Results
Obtained.

The efficacy of the work of the
ladybirds on different forms of
blight in the country has been vari-
onsly remarked upon and occasion
ally a disposition to give the bee
ties a blackeye, has been shown. A
prominent citizen of Hilo, interest
ed in plantation work, writes Com
missioner Marsden as follows:
"It will no doubt prove interesting
to you to learn that Mr.. Millers fears
that the ladybird had found an enc
my which destroyed it are entirely
grOundless. During the winter
months no Iadybirds could be seen in
Hilo, and your remarks that it was
not their breeding time are, as far as
Hilo is concerned, proved to be fully
sustained.
A week or so ago the "birds" have
made their first appearance on Chi
nese orange tree on which l first lib
Grated small colony about July of
last year. They are now increasing
rapidly and may be seen in all stages
now on the tree, Larvae, pupa and
full-fedged birds, feeding ravenously
on what little blight again appeared
on the tree.
1t would prove interesting to learn
how the insects are faring in other
districts. 1t is only through full re-
ports that we can obtain full knowl-
edge of the habits of these insects,
which may possibly become different
to what they have been in the south
ern hemisphere"

WILL RETAIN HIS RANK.
Major G eneral William H. .Dimond to
be Re-appOinted.

Major-General William H. Dimond to
be Re-appointed.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-Gov-
ernor Budd has decided to re-appoint
Major-GeneraI William II. DimOnd
as commander of the California Ma
tional Guard.
The appointment of General Di-
mond as commander of California g
state troops will receive the approval
of all the guardsmen of this state, as
there is not more popular officer in
the militia.
General Dimond has had long
career in military life, and for the
past fifteen years has been connected
MIA, being first appointed by Gov
ernor Perkins.
At the outbreak of the civil war
General Dimond was residing in Ha-
waii, and when the war became an
assured rebellion an independent COM
pany OF cavalry was formed in Homo
lulu with the intention of offering
their services to the United States
government, but as a similarly organ
lied company was declined by Presi-
dent Lincoln on account of interna-
tional difficulties the project was
given up, but General Dimond came
to this country during the last year of
the war and offered his services. He
had provided himself with letters
from the king and several ministers to
the island kingdom, and President
Lincoln at once appointed him assist
ant acknowledgement, with the rank of
captain. He was stationed at Beau
fort, South Carolina, where he re-
manned until the close of the rebel
lion.
The president offered General Di-
moud a commission in the regular
army, but this he declined and re-
turned to Hawaii, where the king ap-
pointed him as commander of the
same company he had helped to form
before leaving the islands. This COM
pany was the special escort OF the
king on all state occasions, and was
really a portion of the regular army.

CHICAGO, April 16.-Dr. Albert B.
Hale, of this city, has received an
offer from the Hawaiian Government
to take charge of meteorological
laboratory under the Government aus
pices. In 1884 S6 the Board of Health of
Hawaii established an experimental
laboratory and placed DR.. Airing, of
Hamburg, in charge. A good deal of
the attitude of DR.. Ahring toward the
he was forced to resign. Officers of
the new Republic have taken up the
work, and it is the idea that most of
the Investigations shall be along the
line of discovering means for the
eradication of leprosy. The position
was rendered to DR. Hale upon the
recommendation of Doctors Day and
Wood, formerly of Chicago, but now
of Honolulu. DIR. Hale has never
visited the Hawaiian Islands, and is
in doubt whether or not to give up his
Chicago practice and accept the ap-
pointment. DR.. Hale was born at
Jonesville, Mich, and is thirty-three
years of age. He was graduated from
the University of Michigan in 1882,
and from the Chicago Medical College
a few years later. He has studied In
several of the principal universities in
Europe, where he made study of bac-
teriolOgy a speciality.
Later advices state that DIR. Hale
has declined the offer to come to the
Hawaiian Islands on account of do
mestic relations

OAKLAND, April 16.-Ex-Police
Court Clerk Lambert had many call
politicians with whom he associated
before he fed to Honolulu visited
him. His bonds today were fixed at
$4,000. He will be arraigned Monday.
Hawaii doesn't seem to be any more
hospitable to abscOnding officials than
to poets, and, like Joaquin Miller,
Lambert denounces President Dole
and his government.
Lambert is familiar with much of
the political intrigue of Oakland, and
threatens to divulge some secrets il
bis "friends" prosecute him.
Later-Lambert was arraigned on
the goth and was given one week in
which to prepare his case.

OmciaI Proclamation by Emperor OF
Japan ts ENJOYS.
YOKOHAMA, April 22.-The follow
ing imperial proclamation was Issued
this afternoon:
Through peace national prosperity
is best promoted. Unfortunately the
rupture Of relations with China forced
upon US a war which after the lapse Of
ten months is not yet ended. During
this period our minister, in concert
with the army, navy and Diet, have
done all in their power to further our
arms in obedience to our instructions.
Our ardent desire, with the assistance
of our subjects in loyalty and SINGER
ity, is TO restore peace, and thereby at
tain our object-the promotion OF ma.
tional prosperity. Now that peace is
negotiated and an armistice pro-
claimed, a permanent cessation OF
hostilities Is near at hand. The terms
of peace fixed by our ministers Of state
give us complete satisfaction. The
peace and glory thus secured render
the present a fitting time to enlighten
you as to the course OF our future
policy.
ave are rejoiced at the recent vic
tories which have enhanced the glory
of our empire. At the same time we
are aware LnaC Jne emo OF the ROAD
which must be traversed by the en-
pire in the march OF civilization is
still far distant and remains yet TO be
attained. We therefore hope, in COM
mon with our loyal subjects, that we
shall always guard against self-con-
tentedness, but in a spirit Of modesty
and humility strive to perfect our
military defense without falling into
extremes. In short, it is our wish
that the Government and the people
alike shall work TO a common end,

CHICAGO, April 1S.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: Private
letters from the Hawaiian Islands are
authority for the statement that the
little republic is in ferment over the
success Of the Japanese in the war
with China, it being thought that the
Mikado's advisers are flushed with
victory, and will, as soon as the treaty
of peace is ratified, turn their atten-
tion to the con milton of their country
men in Hawaii. Before the war with
China the japanese Commissioner in
Hawaii was growing extremely de-
monstrativein his demands for COM
plete suffrage for the Japanese on the
islands.

LONDON, April 22.-In an editorial
this morning the Times, after admit
ting that Japan evidently intends to
cripple and humiliate China in
maner seriously affecting European
interests, insists that the diplomatic
history does not bear the pretensions
that any power or powers are inclined
to dictate terms OF peace between the
two nations. 1t adds: "Great Brit

much as Russia, but we find no stipu-

DOWN WITH A CRASH
One Thousand Persons Buried in
a Collapsed Building.
The Casino at Atlantic City, N.
J., Falls Down.
100 PERSONS HURT.
The Building Was Filled With
Visiting Elks.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., July 1.-The
social session rendered by Atlantic
City lodge to the visiting Ell1s at the
Baltic avenue casino last evening ended
in a terrible disaster, in which fully
loo persons were more or less seriously
injured.
The session had just opened and
only one of the speakers had been
heard when without the slightest
warning the building, which has not
been used for several years, collapsed
and fully 1000 persons were thrown to
the floor beneath. Many women, the
wives of the visiting Elks, went down
in the ruins. Fully 200 persons who
were on the first floor of the building,
and Immediately beneath the banquet
hall, were crushed beneath the timbers
and lay helpless
The fact that all the electric lights
in the building went out at the time
the building gave way added to the
confusion. An alarm was Immediately
turned in and the city's force of 200
firemen, and every police officer IN the
city were called to the scene as hos
pital corps. The police ambulance and
carriages of every description were
hospital, and to their hotels.
Within a few minutes the police sue
ceeded in clearing the space in the ina
mediate neighborhood of the building
and placed ropes around to keep the
crowd back In the meantime the
fremen had set to work to extr1cate
the wounded from beneath the mass of
timbers, and they were aided in their
work by the hotel keepers and resi-
dents near the scene. Every house
was thrown open for the reception of
the injured and every available con-
veyance was pressed into service to
carry them to their hotels.
Meanwhile the physicians were on
the scene and were doing everything
in their power to aid the unfOrtunates
who had been caught in the crash. AS
quickly as the unconscious forms of
the wounded were taken out, willing
hands bore them to the nearest place,
and everything that surgical skill
could do to alleviate their suHerings
was done.
The first victim to succumb to his in
juries was Frederick Claproth of $40
Kimer street, Camden. He died shortly
after midnight at hotel to which he
had been conveyed. Claproth had
been in the crowd on the lower floor
| of the building when the crash came.
He was caught and pinioned down
under mass of timbers, and when,
after great difficulty, the police sue
ceeded in extracting his body, it was
found that both his legs and arms had
been broken. He never regained con-
sciou sness. It is now feared other
deaths will result, and it is matter
of wonder that more persons who
were on the under floor were not
killed outright.

CTS Marion Drake of Centervil1e
achieved signal victory in the Repub-
hcan state convention when he was
nominated for governor on the sixth
ballot, after one of the most warmly
contested ante-convention campaigns
ever witnessed in Iowa.
After prolonged cheering, balloting
for lieutenant governor was COM
menced. Matt PARROT of Waterloo,
was nominated on the third ballot, de-
feating Lieutenant Governor DUNCAN,
of Charlton, for denomination. In rapid
succession Henry Sabin was renomi-
mated for superintendent of public in
struction; George w. Perkins for rail-
road commissioner and Josiah Given
for judge of the supreme court.
The resolutions, among other things,
deplOre the revocation of reciprocity,
denounce tariff for revenue only and
declare for American wages. On cur
rency the platform says: .'We affirm

WASHINGTON, July 1L-Offcia1s at
the state department and about the
treasury department, who should be in
a position to know, have no knowl-
edge of any tender by the Russian
government to the United States of
gold to make good the gold reserve, as
is reported to have been made about
two years ago. They say that if any
such offer was made it must have been
in an informal manner, but from the
fact that the Russian government has
itself been obliged to negotiate a gold
loan since that time, they are inclined
to believe that no such proposition
was made

THE ENDEAvoRERs
Boston WIN Continue to Be the National
HEADQUARTERS.

Boston VIII Continue TO Be the National
Headquarters.
BOSTON, July 1.-THE most inn
portant proceedings in connection with
the fourteenth annual convention of
the Young Peoples Society of Christ
ian Endeavor, which formally opened
at $50 a. m. to-day, was the meeting
of the trustees of the organization at
noon yesterday. The session lasted all
the afternoon, with a brief intermis-
sion for lunch.
The chief business to be considered
was the offer of H. 81. Kolhsaat of the
Chicago Times-Herald, who agreed
to pay SIS, 900 a year for three years to-
wards the maintenance of the So
ciety's headquarters on condition that
they be removed from Boston to Chi
cago. After committee had passed
adversely upon the subject and re-
ported, the report of the the commit
tee was unanimously accepted, and
the headquarters will not be removed
from Boston at present.
Besides the routine business and the
consideration of the question of re-
moval to Chicago the only matter of
general interest was the prese ntation
of the claims of Los Angeles, Cal, for
the convention of 1897.
To-day the claims of Portland, Ore.
San Francisco and Seattle will be pre-
scented and the matter taken under adj
visement.
At the reception headquarters at Me-
chanics' hall messengers are constantly
bringing reports from the 1000 white
capped Endeavorers who are at the
railroad stations and boat landings,
giving aid and directions to the dele
gates who are coming in from all parts
of the country.
The San Francisco delegation num-
bered only ten persons, although it
was expected to comprise 100.

JUST FOR A PRIZE FIGHT.
Corbett and Fitzsimmons VIII Combat
in a Stupendous Structure.

DALLAS, Texas, July ia diagram
of the great -Fitzsimmons
building was displayed at Dan Stuart's
Office in the Aston building yesterday
morning. It showed an octagon struc-
ture covering 400 feet of ground or
nearly four acres. The following are
its grand divisions: Unreserved seats,
80, 500; reserved seats, 17,6ss; in bal
cony, 2,4O6; seats for the press, 652;
total, 52,815.
There never was such theater built
in the United States, and possibly
never will be again. The Democratic
Wigwam at Chicago only held $4,000,
and the Music hall at the worlds fair
no more. The prize ring is in the ex-
act center and will be forty feet
square. elevated four feet from the
ground. The 652 seats reserved for
the press will be next around the ring.
From thence there is sharp ascent
toward the clouds, dizzy with marks
and squares and pierced with aisles.
AS enormous as the capacity is, it is
confidently expected that every seat
will be taken.
