TO RESIST.
Walters Case to Be Made Subject of
International Investigation.

Washington, March 29.-Mr. John
NJ. Langoton, who for some years past
has been counsel for ex-Consul John
l.. Waller, of Kansas, was at the state
department. Certain documents and
letters from Waller bearing on conces-
sion made to him by the Hovas gov
eminent and which necessarily must
figure in the matter if it is taken up by
the state department have been filed
in the department by Langston. AS a
result Of this visit Langston expresses
the conviction that the United States
will act promptly in the investigation
Of the matter of Walters arrest and
Imprisonment, and they will by all
means refuse to submit to a DISPOSE
ton of his case by a court martial and
insist upon a civil trial, as they did in
II case of Sanguilly, in Cuba.

If
What a darling I'd be

What a darling I'd be
In the highest degree,
To mammals wherever I'd go;
What charms they would see
In whatever pleased me,
If | had but a million or so!
What a beauty and grace
They would find in my face,
With a soul in me pure as the snow:
No woman would think
For a moment, to shrink
LII | had but a million or so!
What a feature I'd be
At a german or tea,
What a man for all women 10 know;
And men, none the less,
Would my virtues confess,

Honduran Government May at Length
Do the Square Thing.

Washington, March 29.-The report
of Captain Davis, of the United States
ship Montgomery, upon the invstiga-
lions in Honduras into the circum-
stances surrounding the killing of the
American, Renton, at Brewers lagoon,
has just been received at the navy
department. The report is vOlumin-
Gus. The conclusion is that the Hon
duran government is properly charge
able with the responsibility for the
affair, and has been derelict in failing
to take any steps whatever to as
certain and punish the perpetrators of
the crime. Captain Davis visit awak-
ened the HOnduran officials and there
is now a fair prospect that taruy jus
tice will be secured at last.
Captain Davis found the injury sus-
tanned by the Renton estate amounts
to $4,000, and the Honduran govern
ment will be requested to reimburse
the widow of Renton in this amount.
It has already signified it's DISPOSE
ton TO do what is right in the matter.

NOT SENSITIVE ABOUT HIS
COLOR.

Reminiscent literature relating to
Frederick Douglass is abundant now
adays. The great orator, while chiefly
known as d laborer for the liberation
of his enSlayed race, was a many-Sided
a and, like Abraham Lincoln. with
his serious and earnest nature was
mingled a keen appreciation Of humor
He was always ready to crack a joke
which had his own color for it's theme,
and two incidents of this kind are told
in Kate Fields Washington. One of
these stories relates how Douglass
often laughed Owe a witty remark by
Mrs. Fred Grant at his expense wh41
they met at the Chicago convention of
1888. "The convention had been in
session several days, and there had
ben some baiioting the day BEFORE"
he said, relating the story to a friend.
81 was sitting with Mrs. Grant and
her party watching the balloting. To
my surprise vote was cast for
for me for president of the United
States. Tt had no sooner been IN
nCunced by the teller than Mrs. Grant
turned to NE and with the most
charming smile imaginable said: You
must be the dark horse of this con-
vention, Mr.. Douglass" At another
time there was a meeting of Free
Religionists in Boston, and Douglass
was among those expected to speak.
Referring to the rule of the assembly
which limited the time of speeches he
said he never made a short speech
that he was satisfied with and never
a long one that satisfied anybody Else.
81 came here" said he, not to speak
but to listen; to learn, not to teach: in
fact" he added. 81 came here merely
to give color to the occasion.

Ann Arbor, Mich, March 29.-The
classical conference now in session
here is attended by representative ed
ucators from New York, New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri and
Iowa. The conference has passed the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That this conference

Resolved, That this conference dis
approves of the proposal embodied in
the report of the committee of ten re-
ducing the amount Of Greek prepara-
tory to college, and joins with the
American Pathological association in
declaring that at least three years of
Greek ought to be provided in the
classical course of u secondary
schools.
Resolved, That the conference de-
sires to express it's n of the i'm
p%ortance of a thorough training for
teachers in all grades of classical in
struction; especially does it urge ade-
quate preparation for the work Of
secondary education. The instructor
should know much more than he is
called upon to impart to his pupils in
the high school. The ideal teacher of
the classics will be one who has not
only specialized in these branches as
under graduate and graduate, but also
by instinct and training possesses the
enthusiasm to add constantly to past
attainment by new study"

A. GREAT BLOWHOLE.
The Singular Rock Formation on the Aus
tralian Coast.

The Singular Rock Formation on the Aus
tralian Coast.
One of the most pleasant as well as
famous tourist resorts in New South
Wales is situated on the coast some 20
miles south of Sydney. The center of
this district is Kama, picturesque
and thriving town surrounded by rich
agricultural country, and which has
been built upon an old igneous flow of
basalt that has solicited and crystal
liked into huge columns of what is pop
ularly called limestone. " This forma-
ton is seen to perfection on the west
coast of Scotland and north of Ireland
at St. Fingal's cave and other places,
and those who are acquainted with the
rugged appearance of the coast in these
places can form good idea of the APP
pearance of the New South Wales coast
at this point. Kama, unlike other tour
list resorts, can be thoroughly enjoyed
in either fair or stormy weather, and
those who visit the town when good
gale is blowing have an opportunity Of
witnessing sight the like of which
does not exist elsewhere on our globe.
The famous "Blowhole' here situated,
in the middle of a rocky headland run
ming out into the sea, forms truly won
drous sight. With each successive break
er the ocean spray is sent shooting up
into the air sometimes as high as from
300 to 400 feet, descending in drench-
ing shower and accompanied by rum
bling noise as of distant thunder, which
can be heard for many miles around.
This "Blowhole' is a singular nat
ural phenomenon, and consists of per-
pendicular hole, nearly circular, with a
diameter of about ten yards across, and
has the appearance of being the crater
of an extinct volcano. This is connected
with the ocean by a cave about 100 yards
in length, the seward opening of which
is in all respects similar to st. Fingal's
cave on the west coast of Scotland, the
same perpendicular basaltic columns
forming the side walls of each. Into
this cave towering waves rush during
stormy weather, and as the cave extends
some distance farther into the rock than
the "Blowhole," on the entrance of
each wave this cavity becomes full OF
compressed air, which, when the tension
becomes too great, blows the water with
stnpendous force up to the perpendicu-
lar opening. -Photograph Journal

A HOTEL GHOST.
The Narrative of Singular Experience Of
Lord and Lady Dunraven.

| The Narrative of q Singular Experience Of
Lord and Lady Dunraven.
Apropos of report that the Brevoort
! House was to be closed, which was de-
MED, however, there is story that Lady
Dunraven has been known to tell about
the famous old inn. The countess is de-
scribed by those who know her as wo-
man much more inclined to common
sense than to ghost haunted Cock lanes,
even with DR.. Johnson's authority. She
used to tell the facts in the tale simply
for what they were worth.
1t was more than one decade ago,
years before the Valkyrie was thought
of, when Lord Dunraven was first inter
ested in the mining regions of northern
Michigan. He and Lady Dunraven were
staying in New York for few days be-
fore starting west and had taken rooms
at the Brevoort-pleasant rooms, with
a view of the avenue and nice glimpse
of Washington square. The first night,
being tired with their voyage, they went
early to bed, but, as it happened, not SO
early to sleep. Both the earl and count
ess were blessed with hearty English
constitutions. They were not at all ac-
customed to lying awake till the small
honors.
They wondered what they could have
done, what they could have eaten or
drank to aff1ict them with such gratui-
tous vigilance. just at venture finally
they bundled themselves out into the
adjoining parlor, made themselves ex-
tempore couches there and slept soundly
till morning. Next night and the night
after there was the same wakefulness
and in the end the same migration to
the adjoining room for relief. They be-
gan to think they should have to leave
town earlier than they had planned, for
they would not for the world have made
any pretext to shift chambers.
The explanation of the mystery, if it
was an explanation, came out by chance.
They had call before long from an old
time New Yorker whom they had met
in England, an authority ON all matters
pertaining to the towns minor history.
II wonder" he remarked casually,
"that they should have given you these
rooms. You know it was in that room
there, not SO long ago, that Mr.. K
hanged himself F" 1t was in that room
that Lord and Lady Dunraven had tried
in vain to sleep, and they exchanged sig
nificant glances OF course it was only
a coincidence, they said, but the next
day they took their departure for the
West.-NeW York Tribune.
