Durrell Has a Claim Watch the Govern
 ment Will Nut Pay.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-The steamer Mariposa arrived from Sydney and Auck- land via Samoa and Honolulu, bringing the following Hawaiian advices: Consid- erab1e pressure is being brought to bear to cause the legislature now in session to pass joint resolution authorizing and in- structing President Dole to reopen annex ation negotiations with the United States. At meeting recently held by the native Hawaiian organization resolutions to that effect were passed
 It is believed that such resolution will be introduced by the executive before the senate adjournS. The first claim for dam- ages against the government for wholesale arrests made during the January revolt is in the hands of Minister Hatch. It was handed him by United States Minister Willis.
 The claimant is James Durrell, an American citizen. He Was arrested and confined about seven weeks. No charge was made against the man. He was sim ply held on suspicion. He filed claim for $25, 900 damages with the American min ister, which was duly forwarded to the state department.
 An answer came by the last mail. Min ister Willis statement to Minister Hatch says that Durrcll declares he has never by word or decd forfeited his allegiance to the United States; that he has never ex- pressed sentiments antagonistiC to that government or in any manner counseled, encouraged, aided or abetted its enemies either in armed rebellion or secret plot. ting.
 "These statements" Mir. Willis says, "establish in tl:V opinion of the president of the United states, a prina facic claim for substantial ind, mnity from the Ha- waiian government t0 Mir. Durrell. l am instructed, thcrefu"r, to bring this case to the attention of the Hawaiian authorities, leaving no doubt in their minds of the confidence felt at Washington that the government of Hawaii will not refuse to tender adequate rcparation to this injured citizen of the United States nor hesitate to take prompt measures to CXonerate him from the imputation which this arbitrary treatment has left upon his good name. :"
 It is believed that Mir. Willis letter will lead to international complications as it is understood that this government does not intend to pay Durrcll ono dollar.

 ries In Spite of Objection.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Prompted perhaps by the satisfactory way the elopement of her second cousin, Miss Alice Shepard, with Dave Hennen Morris turned out, Miss Louise Vanderbilt Nissan ran away on Wednesday and was married to Louis Sayre Kerr. She had been staying with her parents at Monmouth Beach, at the clubhouse, where Mir. Kerr was also, al- though his attentions to her were not en- couraged by MT. and Mrs. Nissan.
 The young persons went for a walk aft CT dinner on Wednesday evening, but walked only to the station at North Long Branch, where they took the train and came to the city. They went to the Church of the Holy Communion, at Sixth avenue and Twentieth street, and were made man and wife by the rector, the Rev. MT. Hen " Mottet
 MT. Kerr has an excellent reputation, is one of the best known of the younger set in the Stock Exchange, and has certainly enough money to keep up an establish ment with wolf repelling doors.
 Miss Nissan, now Mrs. Kerr, is the daughter of Samuel H. Nissan of the banking house of Nissan, Whitney & Co.,, IF Broad street, whose sister is Mrs. Will liam H. Vanderbilt. She is, therefore, a cousin of Cornelius, William k. and George Vanderbilt, Mrs. Elliott F. Shepard and Mrs. Sloane. She has been "out" for some years, but has given more attention to charity and good works than to society.

A New Yorker well known for the ra- pidity with which he works and for his strength a few nights ago gave novel test of speed, says The Sur. He lighted six candles and placed them on stand. He then stood off few feet, and with both fists feintcd at the lighted candles so rapid ly that the current of air created by the speed with which his fists moved extin- guished the lights in every case. It will Do understood, of course, that the candles were not touched in any way. The other men present, three in number, tried to do like wise. but failed. If any man thinks that he has plenty of speed at bag punching or boxing, all he has to do to satisfy himself that he is not wrong is to try the candle trick.

The Kow-Shing RiddIed With Shot and Her

 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-AdviceS from Chefu received by steamer say that work CTS have been at work on the sunkcn Row Shing, sunk by the Japanese cruis, CTS off the Yalu. They report that the vcs- sel Is an appalling sight and is literally torn to pieces with shot and she'll
 There is no doubt of her having been sunk by torpedo, as there is a large rag gcd opening in her port bilge and through one of the bunkcrs. She is riddled all about the water line with big shot holes, and from tho top of her forcmast down to the water line there are the marks of the machine gun fire. The between decks arc full of dead, many of the rooms being packed, especially on the starboard side, where hundreds of people had crawled to escape, if possible the pitiless storm of projcctiles.
 The North China News comments oD this as follows:
 Any unnecessary sacrifice of life or property is not legitimate warfare; it is barbarous, and there was not the slightest excuse for sinking tho ship. She was good, safe cruiser and could not possibly escape. At the worst her rudder might have been shot away, but to fire topedoes, to pound away with shot and shell from two eight and ten inch guns, to hail down a shower from machine guns on a small steamer crowded with human beings, was an act which we need not characterize"

IF Belgian block pavement is good enough for Exchange place, Bank. South Main, East Main, Grand and Meadow streets. why should patch of vitrified brick pavement be laid on North Main street? In the matter of streets we should be consistent. Break away from the es- tablshed plan of Belglan blocks and ma cadam, and it is hard telling what the end will be. If North Main street be paved with vitrified brick, perhaps next year, with change of boards. some favored To- cality will have the luxury of an asphalt road, aud who knows but that the friends of wooden paving blocks will be heard from.

The train was stopped, and the people ran back, expecting to find a dead child; instead, the little fellow was running along the track, without scratch. This could only happen in Europe, where, in the first place, the door opens outward at the eide of the carriage, which is but two steps from the ground. and where, in the second place, trains running at full speed" are so slow that trolley car beats their time an hour in the day.

BANK notes of small denominations are in great demand The revival of busi- ness has in a large degree caused this. but, as is stated, thescar city is more par ticularly due to the fact that the gov ernment desires to get its superabun- dance of silver dollars into circulation.

 She Makes Statement Concerning tho
 Seizure of EdgewoOd.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Mrs. Kate Chase has just arrived in this city from Wash ington and is now stopping at a hotel here. In conversation Mrs. Chase said: "So many somewhat contradictory state mentS have appeared of late throughout the country in regard to my undertaking to redeem Edgewood, the home of the late Chief Justice Chase, that it is wise per haps for me to state that the moment has not yet arrived for me to give full and complete history embracing the real facts that have led to my financial embarrass- ments. Perhaps am not the only indi vidual whose resources have been impaired during the last three years.
 II regret the tenor of these articles, for they cannot fail to be misleading. The cooperation of number of prominent men and men of large wealth to save Edge wood, a valuable historic landmark, is testimony of their appreciation of the valuable public services of Secretary Chase, and to relieve the urgent pecuniary needs of his daughter has been demonstrated by liberal response. As to the part Ohio peo- pie have taken in the matter I may say that great number have expressed ap- proval, but I have not heard what has been accomplished in that state, though many Ohioans in New York are partici- pating.
 Regarding the publications mentioned, I have noticed names of men as partici- pants who, to my own knowledge, have not been approached. These publications are calculated to give the impression that my work is completed. But the fact is that until its claim is satisfied the trust company that foreclosed has seen fit to in- sist that and my children should vacate our home and give them absolute posses sion, though portion of my furniture is permitted to remain temporarily.
 II have been compelled to find domicile for my invalid daughter and her compan- ion, and 1 am now actually without 8 home. The fund necessary to clear Edge wood is not sufficient, and I make this statement that those who may care to in- terest themselves may know that the need has not passed :"
