HAWAIIAN LEGISLATURE.
The President Favors Annex
alton and Wants a Cable.

Honolulu, June 1.-THE first
Legislature under the Republic
was called together on the 18th
inst. The Presidents message
was read. 1t deals with many
questions Of local interest. In
speaking of annexation to the
United States, the President
says;
"While the annexation of
this country to the United
States of America has not been
accomplished, it still seems to
be the policy of the govern
ment. It's consummation Will
be earnestly sought with an
abiding faith that such a result
will be lasting benefit to our
country"
The President is in favor of a
cable and says: Zone of the
matters to which | would es-
pecially direct your attention
is cable communication with
the outer world. Until such
communication is secured Ha-
wall must remain isolated. To
do everything in our power to
establish such communication
is and must be one of the TENS
of the Hawaiian people until 1t
is accomplished"
But two bills have been in
troduced so far-the new land
bill and the supplemental APP
preparation bill, one item of
which is a settlement on Prin-
cess Kaiulani and it has pass
ed. She is to receive $4,000 a
year from the government, com
mencing about April l of the
present year. The money will
be paid to her so long as she
does not NEEDLE in politics.
There is a well defined rumor
floating about to the effect that
the ex Queen will be pardoned
at an early date, but no con
firmation can be had.
The government has declined
to liberate a number of rebel
prisoners on July 4. The par
doning power, however, was
used in the case of a number of
ignorant natives who took part
in the recent revolution. This
fact will be a disappointment
to several white men, who ex
pected to be pardoned. Major
Seward being one of them.
F'ibustering rumors are still
cure. t. The lat = story is
that the government service at
San Francisco had given the in
formation that a frigate will
shortly start from some South
American port to the island.
She will have arms and ammu-
milton and a force of men 400
1t is surmised that
the force may be devided, one
half landing on Hawaii and one
half on Amui.

UPHOLDS CLEVELAND
Senator Gray Says he Has
But Done His Duty.
QUICK ACTION WAS NECESSARY
After His Two Appeals Were Sighted
The Tremendous Drain of Gold
From the Treasury

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The senate
was the center of interest today as the
result of the warm discussion on the fin
nancial question and personal criticism
on the president Saturday.
Stewards resolution declaring the gov
ernment had no legal authority to buy
gold coin in preference to silver coin for
any cause whatever, was called up.
Stewart spoke of the humiliating position
of the United States in being held by
the throat by gold com mission which
had the power to coerce and squeeze the
country up to next October, when the
contract expired.
Gray then took the floor. He ex-
pressed surprise that the senator from
Massachusetts (Lodge) and Wolcott, had
so far gone out of their way to indulge
in violent assault upon the executive.
The president had performed the duty
incumbent on him by law. That law
was such that an evasion of it would
have been a plain dereliction of duty.
The law made it necessary to maintain
a parity between the metals by redeem
ing in either. No sooner had congress
assembled than the president appealed
to congress concerning the financial con-
ditions. A bill was formed on the lines
suggested by that message, and the
house saw fit to reject IT. Again the
president applied to congress. Gray
read from the presidents message urg-
ing patriotic and bipartisan action to
he
tor think" interiected Stewart, "that
the president has re-established con-
fidence in affairs by hiring the assis-
lance of foreign syndicate?"
Gray said he would fully consider that
point later. Proceeding with the preA-
dents message. the senator read the
specific statement that the law did not
provide for bonds payable in gold. At
that time Lodge had not complained of
the conditions clearly set forth by the
president, but had waited until now to
present scathing depunciation. "Hav-
ing presented the situation to both
branches of congress in appeals almost
pathetic in their earnestness,'' said
Gray, ''the president was left alone
struggling with the condition and had to
meet it." The senator told of the tre-
mendous drains of gold from the treas
ury, running up to 100000 in one
week shortly before the contract was
made, and from December 1. to the time
the contract was made, sly ,000, 900 was
withdrawn, and only half exported,
showing that the other half had been
boarded at home. Quick action was
necessary to prevent the country from
going to silver basis. There was no
time to advertise for bids for gold.

LONDON, Feb. 1s.-The queen arrived
in London this afternoon. The strictest
privacy was observed in her reception,
and at Victoria station empty trains
were aligned along the platform SO per-
sons on other platforms could not see
her alight. Tie reason for this extraor-
dinary privacy was that rheumatism had
incapacitated the queen from walking.
A detachment of life guards surrounded
her carriage as it was driven to Bucking-
ham palace. In spite of all this the
queen was heartily cheered.

THE WIND HARP.

Across each end of the box and on top
fnsten n Stat of oak or some other very
hard wood, n quarter Of an inch wide.
In one of these Stats drive seven fiat
headed tacks equidistant from each
other, and In the other Stat fix the same
number of twisting screws, such as are
used on banjos. From these stretch
your strings, which should be all of tho
same size and OF catgut. The &c" gui-
tar string will be found the best for this
purpose. Now tune all the strings in
unison, and the harp is completed. 1t
Is, however, well to add reflector to
throw out the sound. This is easily ac-
complished by placing n thin board
above the box, supporting it OF sticks
fitting into rests, which are glued in
the corners of the box. The reflector
also answers as shield to prevent in
jury to the harp.
Place the harp In current of air, as
upon the sill OF half open widow. The
sound produced by the wind passing
over the strings as 1t rises and falls is
of a drowsy, lulling character and ex-.
tremely melodious.-N. Y. Recorder.

AN ANIMAL ROMANCE.
Friendships and Ouarreis of n Rabbit, a
Cat and Dog.

Friendships and Ouarrels of q Rabbit, o
Cat and Dog.
Last summer Orrin Whiting, who
lives near Woodsville, n. j., caught a
rabbit In n box trap, took it home and
made pet of 1t. Whiting had n cat and
n dog, and after few preliminaries
the three animals became warmly at
tached to one another.
AS the weeks went by 1t was noticed
that the rabbit had taken n great fancy
to the cat. The two were together
nearly all the time. Before the rabbit
appeared at the Whiting home the cat
and dog had been close companions,
and the dog evidently didn't enjoy hav-
ing the affections of the cat alienated,
for he took occasion frequently to pick
the rabbit up by the back and give it a
lively shaking up. Eventually it came
to the point where the cat refused to
have anything to do with the dog. She
devoted her whole time to the rabbit.
The dog grew moody and kept away
from his former companions as much
as possible, until one day he came
across the cat and the rabbit enjoying
n gnmbol out in the lot back of The
house. His temper got the best of him,
and he sailed into the rabbit as IL he
intended to wind up its existence then
and there. He had not gone far with
the job when the cat leaped in. She
Jumped on the back Of her old friend
and began to claw out hair at rate

the two, which resulted in badly torn
skin for the dog. and, with his tail be-
tween his legs, he finally left the field.
That night the cat and the rabbit dis
appeared. A thorough search of tho
yard was made for them, but they could
not be found, and Whiting came to the
conclusion that II was a case of elope-
ment, pure and simple. The dog be-
came very Respondent, and for severui
days refused TO eat, but eventually his
spirits improved and he was himself
again, but he never could be induced to
sleep In the bed out in the woodshed
where he and the cat had rested to.
gethcr for many months.
One morning when Whiting went to
the woodshed to get kindling he was
amazed to find the place swarming with
rabbits. The rabbit law was of, and
each one Of the animals had market
value of Is cents. He quickly closed the
woodshed door. and, picking up a stick
of wood, started In to slaughter the
rabbits, which had huddled together in
a corner of the room. He raised the
club and was about to crack rabbit on
the head, when, to his establishment,
the cat that had disappeared weeks be-
fore sprang at him from the shadow
and made a show of fight.
Whiting looked the animals over and
discovered among them the old rabbit
that had run away with the cat. The
cat did her best TO make up her quarrel
with the dog, but he wouldn't have 1t.
He spurned all advances and kept as
far IA possible from her. Two days
after the return of the cat Whiting
killed all the rabbits and sold them.
There were II of them, including the
original pet. With the old rabbit out
of the way there was nothing TO prevent
the cat and dog from renewing their
friendship. This they did, and they are
now as warm friends ~ evcr.--N. Y

SMOKING HORSES.

How Indians Manage TO Secure Mounts
When They Contemplate War
A curious method of obtaining horses
is practiced by some of the Indian
tribes. 1t is called on the plains "smok-
ing horses" IL tribe decides to send
out war party, the first thing to be
thought of Is whether there are enough
horses at hand to mount the warriors.
If, as is often the case, the horses Of
the tribe have been stolen by other In
dians, they decide to "smoke" enough
horses for present needs and to steal
a supply from their enemies at the first
opportunity. When this decision is
reached n runner Is dispatched to the
nearest friendly tribe with the mes
sage that on certain day they will be
visited by number of young men,
forming war party from his tribe,
who require horses. On the appointed
day the warriors appear, stripped to the
waist. They march silently to the vii
lnge of their friends, seat themselves In
circle, light their pipes and begin to
smoke, ut the same time making their
wishes known in sort of droning
chant.
Presently there is seen far out on tho
plain band of horsemen riding gayly
caparisoned steeds fully equipped for
war. These horsemen dash up to the
village and wheel about the band Of
beggars sitting on the ground. in cir
cles which constantly grow smaller, I'M
til, at last, they are as close as they can
get to the smokers without riding over
them. Then each rider selects the man
to whom he intends to present his pony,
and as he rides around, singing and
yelling, he lashes the bare back of the
man he has selected with the heavy
rawhide whip until the blood is seen to
trickle down. If one of the smokers
should finch under the blows. he would
not get his horse, but would be sent
home on foot and In disgrace.
AT last when the horsemen think
their friends have been made to pay
enough in suffering for their ponies,
each dlsmounts, places the bride In the
hand of the smoker he has selected, and
at the same time hands him the whip,
saying:
Here, beggar, is a pony for you to
ride, for which have left my mark"
After all the ponies have been pre-
sented the "beggars" are invited to a
grand feast, during which they are
treated with every consideration by
their hosts, who also load them with
food sufficient for their homeward Jour-
ney. The braves depart with full stom-
achs and smarting backs, but happy in
the possession Of their ponies and In an
ticipation of the time when their
friends shall be in distress and shall
come to smoke horses with them

Grass Paving blocks.

A new industry has recently been
started In Norfolk. 1t is a plant for
the manufacture of paving blocks out
of fibers Of grass growing on salt water
marshes. The grass is subjected to a
heavy pressure, and large square blocks
come out of the press, when three
circular saws take hold of the block
and cut 1t into smaller blocks about
5k inches thick provided lengthwise
with strong wire. These blocks are
then subjected to bath in three differ
ent tanks of different kinds of oils,
which makes the fiber supple. The
Manufacturers Record is authority for
the statement that these blocks have
been tested for paving purposes in
Philadelphia for over year on one
of the busiest streets near the stock
yards, and have, 1t Is said. stood the
test remarkably well. They make a
smooth, noiseless pavement, on which
It is claimed horses cannot slip. Large
contracts for these paving blocks have
been secured in Pittsburgh and New
York. This plant, as now established,
turns out about 400 or 500 yards per
day of this paving, and the owners ex-
pect soon to enlarge 1t considerably.
Thus one more industry for the south
cstablished.-St. Louis Republic.
