health:
"If it had been otherwise, should have vis-

MEMORIES OF STEVENSON.
His Aloha to Hawaii and Its Beauti-
full and Talented Women.

full and Talented Women.
Verses, poems and novelettes of
Robert Louis Stevenson are now be-
ing gathered by his publishers. The
visit OF the famous novelist to Ha-
waii is a special topic for the admir-
ing publishers Of the heretofore un-
published works OF the lsmented
author.
We publish two poems of Steven
sons from the San Francisco Ex-
aminer.
The first is addressed to Mrs.
Caroline French Bush, one OF the
most highly esteemed Hawaiian
ladies in this country, whose plea
SAINT and refined manners have at all
time made her favorite among the
kamasinas. Mrs. Bush had birth
day while Stevenson was here and
in celebration of the day he wrote:
To Mrs. Bush, on Her Birthday
Dear lady, tapping at your door,
Some little verses stand,
And beg on this suspicious day
To come and kiss your hand,
Their syllables all counted right,
Their rhymes each in its place,
Like birthday children, at the door
They wait to see your face.
Rise, lady, rise, and let them in
Fresh from the fairy shore,
They bring you things you wish to
to have,
Each in its pinafore.
For they have been to Wishing Land
This morning in the dew,
And all your dearest wishes bring
All granted-home to you.
What these may be they would not
tell,
And could not if they would;
They take the packets sealed to you
As trusty servants should.
But there was one that looked like
love,
And one that smelt like health,
And one that had iingling sound
fancy might be wealth.
All, we'll, they are but wishes still;
But, dear lady, for you
l know that all you wish is kind
pray it all come true.
Cairen Bush, March 8, 1896.
The other poem which we repro
duce was written to Mrs. Neumann
Focke, at that time Miss Anita Neu-
mann, in whom the author took
great interest while she was mere
child. His joking and teasing ways
will always be remembered by the
young lady to whom he wrote:
From Number Two to Anita Neu-
mann.
l see where you are driving, dear,
And haste to meet your views;
The nameless man was Number
And here is Number Two.
What special charm shall select
To honor in the muse?
Your mind-your heart, Anita, dyed
In early morning blues.
With just hint of ire to warm
It's cold auroral huesl
Your gray eyes, or your slender
| hands7
In faith l may not choose.
An angel inexpert, untried,
Lingering as angels use
Too nice to wet your perfect feet
In merely earthly dews.
The day shall come-it is not far
When life shall claim it's dues,
And fair Anita to fair love
The hand no more refuse.
Alas, the rhyme is nearly out,
l was as rash as choose!
Anita, with my right good will,
Take this of Number Two's.
The description of the life of the
novelist at Waikiki is amusing to

FURRY IN TOBACCO CIRCLES.
The War Scare Has Had. Its Effect in
Kentucky.

Henderson, KY, December 25.-Con-
siderable excitement was caused in this
city yesterday by the receipt of several
cablegrams addressed to tobacco buyers.
Henderson is the largest strip tobacco
market in the world, most of the product
amounting to 10000, 600 pounds annual
ly is shipped to England. Yesterday s
oablegrams were from partners of local
handlers advising them not to buy any
more tobacco until further notice.
AS the product is now being bought
at very low figure 1t is believed the
English tobacco men are afraid of Vene-
zuelan complications. War with England
would damage this section of the United
States severely before 1t would touch
anywhere else on account of the tobacco
exports.
At the tobacco exchange yesterday there
was almost panic. The prices on all
grades broke sharply and very little trad
ing was done. Unless the pressure is
shortly relived business will come to d
standstill, ,ge

GOMEZ AND CAMPos.
Comparison of the Pair by a Prominent
Party.

New York, Deoembr 25.-Gonzalo de
Quesade, secretary of the local Cuban
Junta tonight said: Gen. Maxine
Gomez, dwarfs Captain General Martinez
Campos both as to practical and tactical
success. Gomez had done what he set out
to do. He prevented the harvesting of
the sugar corp. Campos failed utterly
in all his plans of Cordon's to prevent
the commander of patriots from advanc.
ing westward.
OF Gomez's advance into Mantanzus,
if we had any doubt, it would be dispell-
ed by admissions of Delome and
Muruga. Gomez out generalled Campos
by the most brilliant tactics, successful
ly flanked the Spanish forces and evaded
them at A shvillas, Colon and Jovel-
lanos. leaving the Spaniards to follow
him with all railroad and telegraphic
communication severed.
If as reported, Gomez has retreated, it
does not mean disaster, but further evil
denoe of his masterly tactics While, if
he is advancing towards Havana, his
pursuers will advance no faster than he.
He will gain ten men to their one as he
advances.

THE STRIKE IN PHILLY.
Traffic Resumed on Some of the Street Car
Lines.

Philadelphia, December 25.-The street
car strike was again on this morning on
the Girard avenue division of the Union
Traction Company's lines, the strikers of
this division who, with all the other
union traction men, returned to work
yesterday morning, pending the promised
arbitration of their grievances, protested
discriminating against them, by giving
employment to non-union men, leaving
those who have been on strike without
assignment to work.
The feeling among the ex-strikers grew
to such extent that they finally drove the
non-union men out of the depot, and
those who started out with cars were
driven back and some union men were
badly pummelIed. A squad OF police
quickly hurried to the depot and order
was restored. At 10 o'clock not a car on
this branch was on the street. At IL. 80
the differences between the superintend-
ent of the Girard avenue division and the
sumed pending further arbitration of
the union mems complaint that uhey
are-n being. fairly treated in the assign
mont of work.
Disturbances on Girard avenue today
were as serious as any that have occur
red during the time the strike was on.
Every car manned by non union crew
was wrecked by the mob and the arrival
of the police in one instance probably
| saved the lievs of motorman and con-
duotor who were being beaten severely by
the crowd.
The withdrawal of non-union men
from the cars temporarily put stop to
the trouble today, but there is much dis
| satisfaction among the men over settle
mont of the strike. 1t is not a remote
contingencies that the strike may be de-
clared again. During the rioting the
police made nine arrests. The Girard ay-
enue division men openly state that if
they are not given regular runs tomorrow
morning they will tie up the whole sys-
tenn of the Union Traction company
again. Officials of the amalgamated as
sociation of street railway employees and
the more conservative memebrs of the
association are opposed to a renewal of
the strike and are doing everything in
their power to persuade the dissatisfied
men to give the company time TO adjus
grievances.

VITAL TO UNCLE SAM
Is the Integrity of Venezuela, Says Gen.
B1anco.

Vienna, DECEMBER 25. The Paris cor
respondent of the Neuesjournal sends his
paper report of an interview with Gen.
Grizman Blanco of Venezuela now in
Paris. in which that gentleman asys the
integrity of Venezuela is vital to all
America. If England is allowed to dom
mate the Orinoco region, Gen. Blanco
declares she will shortly assume control
of the regions of the Amazon and La
Plata. If She shall begin war against
Venezuela, by establishment of block
ade of the latter's ports, all American
republics will respond by closing their
ports against England's commerce. Gen.
Blanco expresses his belief that in the
event of war between England and the
Y United States an entente will be estab-
llshed between the latter country and
Russia, and Russia will attack Great
Britain's Indian possessions at the mo-
ment England attacks the United States.
