National Bloom.

A. very pretty story is told of the orig
inal cause of the selection of the corn
flower as the national bloom by the
great Emperor Wilhelm. 1t seems that
on the occasion Of one of the numerous
flights to which Queen Louise was forced
by the invading French armies her chill
dren, who accompanied her, complained
bitterly of the fatigue of travelling, and
like the good mother she was. she or
dered her coachman to halt and let the
little ones out for breather. The place
Of resting was a large meadow ovcrgrown
with quantities of blue blossoms. The
children forgot all their woes among the
flowers and sunshine, and not one of
them was merrier and apparently as free
from care as the woman whose heart
ached at the thought of repeated blows
to her throne and home. When con-
tinued victories in cabinet and field
placed Wilhelm l. at the head of the
German nation this scene of his child
hood fingered in his memory, and to do
honor to the beautiful self-forsetfulncss
and courage of his mother, he selected
as the emblem of united Germany the
blue cornfowcr. -Washingto Star.

Saving Road Dust.

While the roads are dry in summer
it is a good plan to gather a few bar
rels of road dust for use in the hen
house during the winter. \ little of it
thrown over a pile Of rotting hen manure
will prevent any loss of ammonia, and
its absorption will make the road dust
nearly. as rich rs the manure. There is
d good deal of man,rial value in road
dust gathered from nluch-traveled roads.
We have known farmers to gather it
and use with phosphate, the road dust
drying the mineral fertilizer and making
it drill better. Most drills will put u

they will a small one, and the use of
road dust to insure more even distribu-

Sensational Rumor That the

CONSERVATION ON COAST.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - Secretary
Gresham this morning received from
Minister Willis official confirmation of
the news of an uprising on the Ha-
waiian islands. Soon after he reached
the state department Secretary Gresham
sent to the navy department for Secre-
tary Herbert. and the two cabinet Off,
GERS engaged In a close consultation half
an hour relating to the ACCESSIBILITY of
sending a United States cruiser to the
island. Mr.. Herbert stated that the
Philadelphia was at Mare Island, Cal,
and could start almost Immediately. de-
laying only long enough after receiving
her sailing orders to take few fresh
stores and a little extra coal aboard.
She carries 4 complement of nearly 400
officers and men, commanded by Capt.
Golfer, and could make the run of
1850 miles to Honolulu in about
six days. After consulting for some
time the two secretaries came to the
conclusion that nothing should be done
towards sending ship to Hawaii eX-
cept by the direction OF the presi~
dent, so they went directly to the
White house to learn the presi-
dents wishes i'll the matter Before
leaving the department Secretary Her
bert conferred with Admiral Ramsay,
chief of the navigation bureau, and
everything was put in train for the I'M
mediate dispatch of sailing orders to
Admiral Beardslee, should the presi-
dent decide to send a ship to Hawaii.
After the further consideration of the
subject Secretary Gresham requested
Secretary Herbert to dispatch naval
vessel to Hawaii Immediately. The
vessel chosen is the Philadelphia, and
she will have on board Admiral Boards
lee, the commander of the station.
Secretary Gresham stated that
the sending of a vessel to Ha-
vail is not caused directly
by the receipt of the Willis dispatch
but is a matter Of extreme caution taken
in order that none of our interests may
be overlooked. The vessel, it ID eX-
pected, will be able to depart within
twenty-four hours from the receipt of
the sailing orders which 90 out this
afternoon to Admiral Beardslee.
Secretary Herbert explained the
sending of the Philadelphia to Honolulu
much as Secretary Gresham had done,
saying that while there was nothing in
Mr.. Willis dispatch showing that be
regarded the presence of war ship as
necessary, still the president believed
the conditions there were not normal,
and as a measure of extra prudence it
would be well 10 have a man Of-War in
port.
The instructions to Admiral Boards
lee, which were sent out by telegraph
this afternoon, are said at the navy de-
paTtment to be precisely similar i'll

Honolulu is we'll protected, and
can stand off the revolutionists,
but the natives may be hard to
suppress in other localities. Wilcox,
abe leader of the revolutionists, when
captured will undoubtedly be executed.
He is well remembered by civil
engineers in this city, he having
been employed here in the work
OF the Waterworks construction. At the
headquarters Of the Hawaiian consul
was little information to be gained
concerning the uprising farther than
has already been published in the cor
respondence from Honolulu, but from
another source it was learned that the
government officials at the island had
communicated a number of facts to its
representatives in this city by which 1t
is expected to trace up the source OF
supply of arms which were obtained by
the royalists.
In fact, it is said that the representa-
tives here have already considerable
proof against certain persons who are
known to DC friendly to the royalists
and who are even now planning to
Send Additional Arms

to locate the schooner Norma,

posedly for the islands with a lot of

contraband opium.
Another vessel is supposed to have
lett Victoria on similar mission shortly
after the Norma and Deputy Collector
of Port McStoker, who was here lnvesti-
eating opium smuggling, hurried back
to the islands. hoping to anticipate the
plans of the smugglers.
By the mail which arrived here pre-
viouS to the Alameda there came let
ter from Duputy McStoker stating that
vessel answering the description of
the Norma had been coasting off an
other neighboring island, but could not
be overtaken because of lack OF prop
er boat. 1t is now believed the vessel
was the Norma, but instead of having
opium aboard she in reality was loaded
with arms.
The arrival here three weeks ago of
Col. Mcfarland on the steamer Arawa
and his sudden departure the same day
on the steamer Australia was also re-
garded as having had something to do
with preparations for the royalists.
The colonel said his visit was
purely a personal one. but shortly
after he arrived here it was
learned that he had received several
kilograms from Victoria. 1t is now be-
lieved that he came here to learn some-
thing about the Norma, and learn
