FILIBUSTERS FOR HAWAII
Two Expeditions Fitting Out at San
Francisco.
One to Go From Seattle and the Other
From San Diego to Overthrow
the Republic.

CHICAGO, June PA Times-Herald dis
patch from San Francisco says: For several
weeks there has been much anxiety among
the colony of Hawaiian exiles here. Small
groups are seen In earnest consultation
Yesterday Hawaiian Consul Wilder report
ed the cause of this activity, which he said
is the organization of a new filibustering
expedition to carry 1000 picked men and
a large supply of arms and ammunition to
Hawaii. Wilder Is skeptical as to the real
strength of the expedition, but still he ad-
mits that the exiles here are desperate
men and that they have strong financial
backing.
Wilder's information comes from Capt.
Lunt, formerly of the smuggler Halcyon.
1t is understood that the filibusters have
bought the yacht Aggie, and that it is
their plan to send two expeditions-one
from Seattle and the other from San Diego.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal June pa morn
ing paper says:
Attempts have been made to organize
more flibust steering. expeditions in this city
to go to Honolulu ard overthrow the gov
ernment. Exiles are said to be the prime
movers.
Capt. F. Tupp of this city is said to have
been recently approached by man named
Stewart, and asked If he would go to the
islands as master of a schooner CARRYING
armed men and cargo of guns, ammuni-
fered Capt. Tupp were 5000 down and
$4,000 II he succeeded in the dangerous
work required of him. He was also told to
find fit vessel and report upon the low
est cash price of 1t. That Is the story Tupp
has told.
AS the story goes. Stewart said that
friends of the exile colony in this city have
put up big sum of money for filibuster-
Ing scheme. and that an agent had bought
supplies of war material in the east Their
purchases, unlike those which went to Ha-
wall to be used in last years revolt, were
of frst-class arms and ammunition. The
other time money had been wasted in buy
Ing light carbines and revolvers, whic h
were no match for the Winchesters and
Lee magazine rifles of the government
troops. The present supplies, so Stewart
said. were dynamite bombs, loIgrange re-
peating rifles Of 45-10O caliber, Colts army
revolVers of the latest pattern and a bat
terry Of Hotchkiss and Maxim guns, with
rounds enough for each piece to turn the
paradise of the Pacific into the inferno Of
the western hemisphere. This costly
freight had been divided, and 1t was the
purpose to send half of it over the North
ern Pacific to Seattle and the other half on
the Santa Fe to San Diego From the lat
ter port a second expedition was to leave
American named Mcfarland.
When Charles T. Wilder, the consul gen.
eral of Hawaii, was asked what he knew
about the matter, he said he did not wish
to affirm or deny anything.

Williams. the surgeon In chief of Freed
mems Hospital, Secretary Smith has made
some radical and important changes in
the control and management of that insti-
tuition. The positions of first and second
assistant surgeons have been abolished.
The first place was held by DR.. John R.
Francis at salary Of $500, and the sec
ond position was filled by DR.. Furman D.
Shadd at a salary of 5000. The work that
was done by these members of the staff
has now been allotted to several young
colored men, graduates In medicine, who

has been restored to that amount and the
salary of the head nurse is now put up 10
500 per month. The salaries of the other
nurses who are connected with the insti-
tuition have been made $40 per month.
The announcement that these changes

Secretary of the Interior on the 1st of
July. The surgeon in chief has appointed

LIEUT.. EMoRY's DISPATCH.
The Petrol Has Left Hankow-Prob
ably All Quiet.

Secretary Herbert today received brief
cable message from Lieut.. Emory. COM
mandins the gunboat Petrol. announcing
his departure from Hankow, on the Yang
tse river. for Chinkiang. near its mouth.
The Petrol was sent to Hankow, the head
Of navigation on the Yangtse in conse-
quence of reports of an uprising against
foreigners in the interior of China. Han
kow was the nearest accessible port, and
it was supposed that the visit Of an Amer
lean gunboat would have a wholesome in
huence on the natives. Although Lieut.
Emory is entirely silent In regard to the
state of affairs, 1t is perfectly proper as
sumption that his departure from Hankow
means that affairs are quiet in that neigh
borhood and that there Is no occasion for
the Petrol to remain there. The latest
news from the scene of the reported trouble
showed that, while the residences of sew
eral of the missionaries were destroyed, no
personal violence was inflicted.

THE GOLD RESERVE.
1t Is PracticallyAbove the $1OO, 100000
Mark Today.


Although the books of the Treasury De-
partment do not show it, the gold reserve
is practically above the $1OOOOO,OOO mark
today for the first time since last Decem-
ber when it was forced to that point as a
result of an issue of gold bonds. According
to the treasurer's statement today the gold
balance is S93,S17. 1856. but this statement
naturally does not include consignment
of 81 225 coo in bar gold brought to New
York by the Campania on Saturday, for
August Belmont & Co., on account of the
government bond syndicate. The gold was
taken to the New York assay office for eX-
ANNA ton, and in a day or two will be. de-
posted in the United States Subtreasury
in payment of bonds. Its receipt will swell
the gold reserve to $1O1, ,042,3 1885, regardless
of other receipts. The treasury books will
show this increase in a day or two, and at
least before the 1st of July.
The Bond Contract.
The bond contract by the operations of
which the reserve has been restored to the
s1OO, O,OOO, 600 point was signed in February
last by the Secretary of the Treasury, as
the party of the first part, and by August
Belmont & Co. and j. P. Morgan & Co.,

tract the parties of the second part agreed
to sell to the United States treasury 3, 800 :

PLANT MlMICRY.
Some of the Strange Tricks Played by
 Seeds For Propagation.


 Seeds For Propagation.
 Dr. Lundstrom has recently described some cases of alleged plant mimicry. The cultivated plant known as calendula may in different conditions produce at least three different kinds of fruit. Some have sails and are suited for transportation by the wind, while others have hooks and catch hold of passing animals, but the third kind exhibits more desperate dodgo, for 1t becomes like caterpillar. Not that the fruit knows anything about it, but if it be sufficiently like a caterpil- lar bird may eat it by mistake, the in- digestible seeds will be subsequently, sown, and so the trick succeeds.
 The next case is more marvellous. There is moro graceful wild plant, with beauti- full, delicate flowers, known to many as the COW wheat. Ants are fond of visiting the COW wheat to feast on sweet banquet spread out upon the leaves. Dr. Lund- strom has observed one of these ants and was surprised to see it making off with one of the seeds from an open fruit The ant took the seed home with it. On ex- plor1ng some ant nests tho explorer saw that this was not the first COW wheat seed which had been similarly treated. Many seeds were found in the ant nurseries.
 The ants did not eat them or destroy them. In fact, when the nest was dis turbed the ants saved the seeds along with their brood, for in size, form, color and weight, even in minute particulars, the seeds in question resemble ant cocoons. Once placed among the cocoons 1t requires a better eye than an ant has to distinguish the tares from the wheat. In the excite ment of fitting, when the nest is disturb ed, the mistake Is repeated and the seeds are also saved. The trick is found out some day, for the seeds, like the cocoons, awake out of sleep. The awakening dis plays the fraud. The seeds are thus SUD- posed to be scattered. They germinate and seem to thrive in tho ant nests.-Pitts burg Dispatch.

Women's Editions.

In speaking of tho fad of women s editions of newspapers, The Kingston Freeman says: Ut is remarkable that this kind Of enterprise is confined to newspapers. Why not let the Bricklay- ers' union run big hotel one day for the benefit of charity? Or the West Shore railroad might be turned over to the Y. M. c. A. for day. It would be interesting to let the W. c. T. U. take charge of bank for one day and show how 1t ought to be run. Then there is an opportunity for some pastor to let a half dozen newspape: men manage his church for week or so, just to let peo- pie see what they would do Another good idea would be for watchmaker to turn over his shop to the Horseshoers' association. In fact, there is no limit to these schemes, and this ought to be a big year for charities of all kinds"
