THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
Exemption from Taxation Refused
by tac House.

]
The following is the conclusion
of the report of Saturdays pro-
ceedings in the House, crowded
out of that days paper:
Mr.. Naone agreed with a great
deal Of what the previous speaker
had said, but FIVE years exemp-
ton of taxation was not too much
encouragement to an enterprise of
so much Importance, which would
increase the value Of property in
Honolulu.
Mr.. Robertson considered that
in all matters of this kind the
Legislature should deal in the
most liberal manner with enter
prises that were bound to benefit
the country This had been the
policy of Hawaiian Legislatures
for many years, as in the case of
the Oahu Railway. It was not
giving away anything from the
treasury. The company was not
getting a monopoly but had to
take side streets while an oppos-
ing company had the main streets.
He spoke of the great benefits
the railway would confer upon
the community in spending
large amount Of money annually
as we'll as furnishing rapid trans
portation. Mr.. Rycroft was ask
ing for money out of the treasury
to help the telephone line on
Hawaii.
Mr.. Richards said that the rail
way company got benefits equally
with the government in the open
ing up of new residence lands.
Every corporation that asked for
franchise here wanted to get
everything in sight.
The section was struck out of
the bill by eight to six.
At 1925 the committee rose
and reported progress.
A communication from the
Senate announced that the bill
appropriating money for the
special session had been signed
by the President.
The Lab Commission by its
secretary, Z. 7. Rodgers, commu-
nicated report of its expenses.
At 1890 the House adjourned
till 10 a. III. Monday.

AFTER that terrible Sunday at Shi-
loh," General Sherman said one day to
the writer. II started out to find Grant
to see how we were to get across the
river. 1t was pouring rain and pitch
dark, there was considerable confusion,
and the only thing just then possible, as
1t seemed to me, was to put the river be-
tween us and the enemy and recuperato.
Full of only this idea, I plowed around
in the mud until at last I found him
standing backed up against a wet tree,
his hat well slouched down, and coat
we'll pulled up around his cars, an old
tin lantern in his hand, the rain pelting
on us both and the inevitable cigar
glowing between his teeth, having re-
tired evidently for the night. Some
wise and sudden instinct impelled mo to
a moro cautious and less impulsive prop
osition than at first intended, and
opened up with:
"'Well, Grant, we've had the DEVILS
own day, haven't we?'
"'Yes,' he said, with a short, sharp,
puff of the cigar; lick 'em tomorrow,
though. '"-Washington Post.

GENERAL SCOTS FORESIGHT.
Remarkable Forecast of the Duration an
Result of the War;.

Remarkable Forecast of the Duration and
Result of the War.
Soon after the outbreak of the wal i'll
1861 Secretaries Seward, Chase and
Cameron called upon Scott and found
him at dinner. They told him they had
come to get his Judgment Of the pros
pect. 1t was Immediately after Lincoln's
first call for troops. The general was
the head Of the army, but getting too
old to hold that responsible position in
that trying time. He invited them to
sit down at the table. General Wright
says: "He went III to explain his idea
of how the war would progress from
year to year. While he was talking Mr..
Seward seemed to be somewhat impa-
tient and put in several little Interrupt
tions, but finally subsidized and allowed
General Scott to proceed.
1.-THE general gave an outline of a Var
probably lasting from 81 to 4 years,
but resulting in favor of the Union. On
the generals announcement of his opin-
ion that the Union would triumph Mr..
Seward, rubbing his hands, inquired,
We'll, general, then the troubles Of the
federal government will be at an end.
To which General Scott replied, No,
gentlemen; for a long time thereafter it
will require the exercise Of the full
powers of the federal government to re-
strain the fury of the noncombatants.

ONLY Hall
But They Convinced q Mississippi Colonel
That He Had Been Misinformed.

AO
IT was On the losing side during the
late war" said Roger Blakenship to a
party Of vets who were fighting their
battles DER again in the corridors of the
Southern. II belonged to a Mississippi
regiment, and the last mothers son Of
us expected to return homo with at least
a dozen Yankee scalps dangling at his
belt. Our orators had led us to believe
that all we had to do was to show our
selves and the Yanks would break for
tall timber. Our colonel was a planter
and small fry politician who had never
seen a real live Yankee, and he fully
expected to plant II regimental colors
OH the dome of the national capitol be-
fore we had been out month. We were
eagor for tho fray.
"Just before Grant invested Donelson
we encountered a scouting party of
Michiganders. They numbered only
about 40, and the colonel took the COM
pany to which l belonged and attempted
to head them off. They made a hasty
scamper for a brush field that was sur
rounded by a rail fence, and we broke
ranks and lit out after them in 60 as
you please order. Every man of us want
ed a Yankee and realized that there
were not enough to 60 round. Just as
we mounted the fence we received a
vblley that laid a score of men out. Be-
fore we could recover from our surprise
those Michigandors were over the fenco
and at work on us with their sabers and
six shooters. We concluded that we had
made a mistake-that we didn't want
any Yankees, after all.
"The colonel was tho first MAI back
to camp. Half his left car had been shot
away, and no had an ugly saber cash il
his shoulder. helped the surgeon fix
him up, and after we had made him
comfortable he turned to the major,
who also is an editor, and said solemn
ly: 'Icr'vo been a-tcllin US in yer
darned old paper that tho Yankees
wouldn't fight! Dodrat yer measlcy
hide, what do yer call fightin" The
major replied that those men wero west.
ernerS-only half Yankees. Only half
YanknrS!' snOrted the colonel. 'Dammo
if / amt goin homo! If thon's only
half Yankees, I'll just be dad burned il
I'm a-2oin t. tackle any whole ones!' "

ASLEEP ON his POST.
Experience of a Young Soldier Wearied
With Long Marches.

AAo'S
Sometimes, remarked the veteran
as the members Of the Old Soldiers
club pulled themselves together, "some-
times a soldier may be caught asleep on
mis- post in a dangerous place and not
be- shot for it, but it isn't safe to take
any risks. 1 remember M night what
happened down in Georgia. We had
been on a weeks hard march over a
Dreadful rough country, getting mighty
little sleep and pestered by the Johnnie
scouts at every ford and whenever they
pould get close to us in the hills, and it
was about al much as we could do to get
along at all. One night we went into
camp in the neighborhood Of the enemy,
and our s%entinels were cautioned to be
extra careful.
"We had with us a young fellow of
II, who wasn't afraid Of anything, and
in a dozen fights he had done wonders,
but this marching had about tuckered
him out, and he was a wreck. He was
still nervy, though, and when he was
detailed as a sentry he never said a
word, but braced up and went to his
post. I was to relieve him, and when
the time came our squad started out
with the corporal for the posts. His was
In the ticklishest place, neal a ford,
and as we came toward him we could
see him marching up and down as
steady as clockwork, and l felt good,
for 1 was half afraid the boy couldn't
stand it. AS we came closer he kept
right on, paying no attention to us,
which seemed to mt to be queer. He
didn't eve respond when the corporal
spoke, and we waited for him right
across his beat. He come straight ahead
then, paying no attention, and mighty
near knocked the corporal down, but he
got out of the way and lot him go by,
motioning the rest of us to keep still.
Twice he passed up and down the beat,
and the third time the corporal took
him by the arm and give him a shake,
when he jumped back, sorter groaned
and dropped to tho ground as if he had
been shot.
l "'Asleep, by thunder!' growled the
corporal, and the corporal vas right.
The young fellow was asleep, but the
courage in him wasn't, and there he
was, still a-marching right against ma
ture and doing the best he could. The
detail had to carry him into camp, and
he didn't get his senses back for a weak.

BRAVE GENERAL STOLLBRAND,
Heroic Courage Displayed In the Crate,
ut Vicksburg.

General G. l.. Stollbrand, who died
at Charleston, was al educated Swedish
officer who came to this country at the
outbreak of the rebellion and volun-
teered in the Union army, says the Now
York Sun. He served mostly with the
Army of the Tennessee, where he soon
became noted as a brave and able officer.
He was chief of artillery in Logan's di-
vision at the siege of Vicksburg, and
Immediately after the explosion of the
mine by night, under the advanced bas-
ton Of the rebel defenses, displayed the
most extraordinary courage. He accom-
panied the assaulting column into the
crater, and there, assisted by a couple
Of soldiers, busted himself in cutting
the fuses Of six FOUNDER shells, lighting
them with a port fire and throwing them
as hand %grenades over the parapet into
the rebel works.
His example was 500 followed by
the rebels, who in turn converted the
crater into a veritable deathtrap, with
grenades ~improvised in the same way,
the bursting OF which spread havoc in
the confused mass Of Union soldiers who
had crowded into it. Shell after shell
burst over his head, at his feet, in front
of him and behind him, covering his
face with dust and powder, cutting
locks out of his yellow beard and LAGER
ating his cheeks with splinters of iron,
but with the porttire in his hand, the
yellow glare of which fell full upon his
face and framed it with light against
tho background of gloom, he stood un-
moved and imperturbablo at his work,
mistaken by the explosions, undaunted
by tho danger, until success was hope
less, and he and the troops were ordered
out of the desperate Judgment they had
gained. No Drawer sight ever was seen
by human eyes than Stollbrand, the
Berserker, in the crater at Vicksburg.

Officers DrulnIned Out of Camp For De.
sorting Their Colors In Battle.
The following incident is related by
General Sheridan i'll his 'Personal Mem
oirs,' volume /, chapter 13, page $40.
The extract reads as follows and relates
to the engagement at Stone River:
During the engagement there had
been little struggling, and my list OF
missing was small and legitimate. Still
it was known that a very few had
shirked their duty, and an example was
necessary. Among this small number
were four officers who, it was charged,
had abandoned their colors and regi-
ments. When their guilt was clearly
established, and as soon as an opportu-
nifty occurred, | caused the whole di-
vision to be formed in a hollow quaro
closed in mass, and had tho four Off
GERS marched to tho center, whore, tell
ing them that | would not huniliate
any officer or soldier by requiring him
to touch their disgraced swords, | COM
PEELED them to deliver theirs up to my
colored servant, who also cut from their
coats every insignia Of rank. Then, aft
Ell there had been read to tho command
an order from army headquarters dis
missing tho four from the service, the
scene was brought to a close by drum
ming the towards out of camp. 1t was
a notifying spectacle, but from that
day 10 officer in that division ever aban.
doned his colors."
