attempts among the East Saxons and
Northumbians ended in failure' Con.
tinuing, be refers the conversion OF
Wessex and East Anglia to the com
bined action of continental missionaries
and Celtic monks; LAS to the North
umbian kingdoms and those of Essex
and Mercia, which comprehended in
themselves more than two-thirds of the
territory occupied by the German con-
querors-he declares-these four coun-
ties owed their final conversion exclu-
siyely to the peaceful invasion of the
Celtic monks, who not only rivalled the
zeal Of the Roman monks, but who, the
first obstacles once surmounted, showed
much more perseverance aud gained
much more snccess.n
Others might be mentioned as shar-
ing in the honor of England's CONVEX
sion but orr limited space prevents fur
Their reference than to the two who fig
ured most prominently. Wessex was
brought into the Christian Church
through the labors of continental
missionary Biripus, who, visiting
Rome and promieing to preach the gos-
pei in those parts unfrequented by
Christian teachers, was consecrated a
missionary Bishop. The other, Felix,
who hailed from Burgundy, undertook
and carried on bis work in East Anglia,
independently of Rome, and was subse-
quently consecrated abroad as Bishop of
Dunwich. From him the town, Felix
sterve, derived its name.
We have now shown the falseness of
the general impression regarding Eng
land's conversion and have stated TO
whom the honor should be attributed.
1t now remains to consider by what
process the different missions were unit
ed in the one Church of England.

One of the most serious evils to min
ing is the practice Of presenting mines
to the public at enormous prices. Often
an examining engineer is compelled to
condemn mine because of the price at
which it is presented. Many good
prospects remain undeveloped for the
same reason. It ig the favorite scheme
of the mining shark, and it is here his
fangs sink deepest. Every extensive
mining camp is infested with these
men; nor are they confined to mining
districts alone, but may be found in all
sections, especially in all large business
and speculative ceuters. Let owners of
mining property place legitimate and
reasonable prices on their possessions
aud allow liberal commission to the
on the purchase price, and
his evil will be speedily remedied.-I

ANOTHER HAWAIIAN FILIBUSTER-
ING SCHEME GIVEN AWAY.
A Young Connecticut Man, Backed
by Rudolph ~Spreckles, Engages
Men to Go to Hawai- and Over
throw the Dale Government.

San Francisco, Aug. 6.-The Chron-
icle prints u story exposing an alleged
plot to restore Queen Lliuokalanl anc
loot Hawaii. Rudolph Spreckles,
youngest son Of Claus S~preckles, is
said to be backing the scheme. The
Chronicle says: One of the best con-
tested and most dangerous flibuster-
ing expeditions ever fitted out on
American soil was uncovered in San
Francisco yesterday. Its object is, or
was, to take Hawaii by force OF arms,
restore to the throne ex-Queen Lii
iuokalani and divide the republics
lands, money and goods. worth ap-
proXimately 27.OOO,OOO. among some
200 freebooters picked UP by ones and
twos in Western America.
The active agent of the co%nspirators
is w. p. Morrow. a native of Con-
necticut, aged thirty~one, and, he
says, recently a resident Of Grass
Valley. Cal. He is still in San Fran
cisco under surveillance, so that the
federal authorities can get him If
they desire to do so. The head
quarters of the tilibustering eXpedi-
ton has been at I'll Bust street, a
dingy 1at-fronted boarding house.
There the agent of the conspirators
has been receiving daily and nightly
a molly crowd of men who respond
to his cautiously worded advertise
ments published in the city and else
where. Morrow admitted last night
when he was forced into a corner and
told that the game was up, that he
had been engaging men to go to Ha-
wall and overturn the republic.

.missioners, acting under the A. p. A.

trict court restrained the city council
from approving their bonds. The
%oath-bound organization in the coun

suit, Il citizens volunteer armed
guard is on duty at the police sta
tons to maintain peace and assist the
regular force in holding possession Of
the city property. Messrs. Broatch,
VandervoOrt and Foster we're given
their certificates as police commits
sioners at noon by the attorney gen
eral and commissioner of public lands
and buildings. The governor refused
to sit with them, and warned them
that their course was Illegal The
council held a special session to APP
prove the bonds, but they were met
with an injunction returnable to-mor-
row from the district court. The or
der was ignored with a hurrah, and
the police commissioners appointed a
full police force. They will make no
effort to get possession Of the city
property before morning, when
trouble will occur. At an early hour
tomorrow the district court will take
up the matter of the council proceed
ings in contempt and will probably
annul it's work. There is much in
fiammatory talk, and several COM
panies Of militia in different parts Of
the state have been notified to be in
readiness to move to Omaha in the
event of trouble, Gov. HOlcOmb is
prepared to maintain the law, and is
using all means in his power to con
serve peace and have the whole
squabble carried to the supreme
court. When asked what action he
proposed to take in the matter in
case Of an attempt to take formal pos
session of the department of police,
he said that he would see that there
was no rioting, and that the laws
would be enforced. He did not antici-
pate any violence. but would be pre-
pared to deal with any of law
l~essness that might come up.

San Francisco, Aug. A. ]. White
man, ex-banker and millionaire of
Duluth, Mimi, member of the Mime
sofa legislature, and recently con-
victcd of forgery, made a personal adj
dress to-day in the superior court in
support of his own motion for q new
trial. The new trial was demanded
on the of newly discovered evil
dence. The charge against White
man was that he had victimized sew
eral friends in San Francisco by
means Of a forged check drawn by
Frank Dixon upon New York. All
through the trial Whiteman insisted
that there a such a person as Dix
on, although he could not be found.
Now it is stated Dixon has been
found, and stated in the presence Of
certain reputable residents of Chica-
go that he had really signed the $500
check and had sent it to Whiteman
in payment of Indebtedness. Then
Whiteman, by permission of the
court, made an eloquent address, re-
calling his social and political prom
inence, and his efforts to find Dixon.
He begged the court not to perma-
nently put the brand Of felony upon a
man who had illegally convicted of a
crime. Judge Wallace continued the
further hearing of the motion for two
weeks, instructing the special coun-
sci for the prosecution in the mean
time to ascertain whether or not
Whiteman's story is true. The court
stated that if there is really such a
person as Dixon, and if he signed the
check and sent it to the defendant,
Whiteman could lave q new trial.
