and ably that he soon was the possessor
of about the best law business in Homo

When Liliuokalani signed the obnox-
ious lottery bill, Hatch, who had been
steadily but quietly working for annex
alton for some time past, became one of
the Is members of the committee of
safety and was one of the principal &C
tors in the coup d'etat which dethroned
the queen and resulted in the formation
of the provisional government under
President Dole. He was elected vice
president Of the republic and later be-
came President Dole's minister of for
eign affairs. He assisted President Dole
in the diplomatic correspondence with
Secretary Gresham, and, after the letter
refusing to restore the queen had been
sent to Washington, aided in the prep
arations to resist by force the expected
landing of United States marines and
the restoration of the royal regime.
Happily the marines were not landed
and bloodshed was avoided. Mrs Hatch
is a daughter of Colonel Alexander @.

Democratic Central Committee yester-
day, Chairman Mafitt was instructed
by a unanimous vote to include in his

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Tbe fact
TRANSFERRED yesterday that the Demo

ate held a meeting in this city of
three hours duration on Wednesday,
last. The members who were present
are very retlcent as to what occurred,
but it is known a thorough canvass
was made of the Democratic situation
with view to deciding upon line of
policy in the next session. The ques-
ton of the organization of the senate
was discussed at length. The com

on this matter, but when it adjourned
there was a general understanding
that unless future events should make
a change desirable the committee will
recommend to the Democrats in the
senate to make no move whatever
until the Republicans and Populists
shall develop their plans

WHITE BASS HAUNTS.
In the North Central States Where
Black Bass Are Scarce.

In the North Central States Where
Black Bass Are Scarce.
In the north central states, where the
black bass is scarce and in some regions
unknown, very worthy substitute for
this grand game fish is found in the
white bass. 1t cannot, indeed, be said
that the latter species possesses all of
the fine qualities OF the former, but in
habits, haunts and food it much re-
sembles the black variety. Its shape is
quite different, the body being more
oval and not SO thick through, and the
head being shorter. The mouth is
rather smaller than that of the small
mouthed blass bass. In color it is in
marked contrast to its black brother,
being OF a clear silvery white, barred
with black horizontal lines, six or seven
IN number, which run from gills to tail.
The streams and ponds of the whole
Mississippi valley abound in these
sprlghtly fish, and the Chicago sports
men mostly frequent the Illinois river,
winch offers the best white bass angl-
ing of all the waters in the state. The
white bass are gregarious. and swim in
big shoals along the steep shores of the
streams, feeding on the young fry of the
gudgeons and dace. Owing to this flock
Ing habit, the veterans all fish with two
hooks on a spreader, and when a troop
passes by they land two at time, until
the last survivors have aed. They bite
saFagely, quickly, and either hook
themselves or get away before the an
ger can raise his rod. A long, light,
SUN rod is used. a very fine silk line,
anu the lghtest of single strand lead
ers- The hooks of necessity must be
small, on account of the tiny mouths
OF the bass In bait fishing it is custom
airy to use float and lead, arranged
to keep bait about four or
nve feet below the surface.
Casting from the shore or
boat, skittering and trolling are all
successfully employed, and in Septem-
Der the trolling is most fetching. Either
dead dace, about three inches long,
wired to Sproat No. hoop, or small
nickel or brass spoon, with single, not
treble, hook, makes killing lure. Once
hooked, these pretty fellows make a
brisk but brief fight for freedom. They
possess neither the endurance nor the
strategic resources of the black bass,
and depend on their first rush or two to
tear loose the hook, which frequently
happens, their mouths being so tender
They are delicious pan fish, and, to
the minds of many, are more tooth
some than brook trout.

Practical anarchism could be seen
at work in the house of Mrs. Mary M
Bryson of New York recently. Mrs.
Bryson engaged man named Michael
Braun to varnish the furniture, and
she agreed to pay him 81 a day. Ac-
cording to the story which Mrs. Bry-
son told the magistrate of the YORK
vile police court Braun destroyed
property in h0f house to the value OF
over 81 900 and he had no other appar-
ent motive but his hatred OF the rich
and his principles of anarchism. He
is charged with mutilating q valuable
oil painting entitled The Holy Fami-
ly." It is alleged that he cut of the
arm of the Virgin. Represented in the
painting, and slashed the figure of the
child Christ in a way that suggested his
desire to show his hatred of things re-
ligious He is a small man, with low
forehead. Mrs. Bryson told the magis-
trate that she and her sister lived alone
in the house, and became alarmed at
the presence of the man, who continued
his work of polishing. She said that
when they addressed remark to him
he would reply in vile language, and
they would be obliged to seek the Sc
clusion of their rooms. He had COM
plete run of the house. When spoken
to on Aug. he answered with an oath.
A few moments later they saw him
leave the house, and, going upstairs,
discovered the mutilation of the pic
ture. He has been arrested.

MINISTER HATCH.
Lawyer and Diplomat and One of the Orig

Lawyer and Diplomat and One of the Orig
inaI Committee of Safety.
Francis NJ. Hatch, who has served for
some time as Hawaiian minister of for
eign affairs, will soon reach Washing
ton to assume his duties as minister to
the United States. W. r. Castle, the
young republic's present representative
at Washington, was only appointed to
serve until Hatch arrives, and the latter
is thus the successor of Lorin A. Thurs
ton, who was declared persona non grata
by the late Secretary Gresham.
Mr.. Hatch is a native Of New Hamp-
shire and is about SO years of age. He
was graduated from Bowdoin college
with high honors and then took up the
study of law. He was an apt pupil Of
Blackstone and while yet young to the
profession went to Honolulu and en-
tered the Office of his uncle, Judge Har-
ris, who was then chief justice Of Ha-
wall under King Kalakaua. After Judge
Harris death King Kalakaua repeatedly
urged Hatch to accept Office under the
royal government, but he refused. He
took no part in public affairs, was

MORTON ON THIRD TERMS.
He Can See No Objection to Re-Eiecting
President CIeveland Again.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Nov. a3--Hon. ].
Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agri-
culture, spent yesterday in St. Louis
In the course of an interview Secre-
tary Morton said: why should Pres
ident Cleveland be opposed to third
term any more than u bank president?
This is not stating that President
Cleveland is a candidate for q third
term, for as to that no one knows
but himself. The talk of third
term has been confined only to news
papers, and there is no one can say
he ever heard Mr.. Cleveland give an
expression on the subject. | am not
in position to state whether MIR.
Cleveland will be candidate or
not. There is one thing L can
say, however, the management of the
government is a business, as is the
management of a bank. In bank the
business is entirely confined to the
management of the finances of many
people. If a bank president has
proven himself competent and faith
full he is reelected, not only once
or twice, but dozen of times or more.
The business of a government is that
of managing and preserving the in
terests of the people of a nation, and
maintaining life, liberty and property,
and if a bank president is elected
many times why should it not be so
with the President of the United
States?''
