One OF the most important public
gatherings thut ever assembled in Vir-
gina Is tho conference Of Democrats
at Roanoke to-day. 1t is sincerely
hoped that wisdom will prevail and
that the meeting will ne productive of
good 10 the Commonwealth. The pur-
pose of tue meeting is to consider the
propriety OF holding IL constitutional
convention in order that tle,people may
be relieved OF the bnrthens under which
they have so long struggled aud which
was placed upon the shoulders OF the
State through the iustrumentality Of
the Underwood Constitution, the pro.
duction Of the carpetbag and scalawng
lulers of Virginia during the Recon.
Btruction period.
The sentiment Of the Democracy of
the State is unquestloned, The NIR
GILMAN considers, In favor of conven.
ton for the revision OF the Coustitu-
ton. Indeed, 1t Is Inclined to the
belief that it is the sentiment of the
beet people OF Virginia, irrespective of
party differences. Virgin is too much
ruled and the people are too much
taxed for the support of small army
OF officeholders, whose services can well
be dispensed with. This is an evil
tina. demands correction aud the hope
is dominant that tue result OF the cou.
ference will SO unity action us 10 make
safe call for convention by the
Legislature to be elected next fall.
If the conference restricts itself to
this subject and that OF better party or.
ganizstion-an organization which will
come in touch with the Democratic
masses and free them from the intoller-
hnce OF party rings and party bosses
IN the cities and counties OF the State
1t will act wisely. II it attempts to
dabble into the Issues upon which there
are party differences mistake will be
made that may be grave in Its conse.
quences.

CURE FOR LEPROsY.
Dread Malady Peculiar to Human Be-
ings-Is Contagious.

Dread Malady Peculiar to Human Be-
ings-Is Contagious.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-President
V. Gianturio, an Italian physician
now practicing in this city, who is
president of the eItalo-American Acad-
emy of Medicines of the United States,
has made a particular study of the
subject of leprosy, and at the last
meeting Of the academy he gave a
presentation of his views upon the
origin, symptoms and treatment of
the malsdy.
ut is common belief that leprosy
is Infectious" he said, "and that
community may be infected by the
mere presence Of a leper in its midst.
This is not the fact. The malady is
contagious, but not infectious. Dur.
ing my residence in Naples there
came into my hands two distinct cases
of leprosy from Sitjly. 1 was aole to
cultivate the le pfous germs. The
bacillus of leprosy is almost identical
in appearance with the tuberculosis
germ. Animals inoculated with the
leprous bacillus suffer no i'll effects
whatever. Leprosy may, therefore,
be regarded as an ailment belonging
essentially to human beings.n
The professor disputed the theory
that leprosy is necessarily hereditary
affiiction, and urged that it resulted
oftener from contsgion than from a
coDgenial origin. He stated that
leprosy does not throw out its germs,
and that persons standing near leper
are in no danger whatever, unless the
afflicted man should touch them.
Professor Gianturio is experimenting
upon a lymph that he believes will
furnish the world with
cure for leprosy.

Cleveland Does Not Favor An
nexation of the Islands.
so SAY THE KNOWING ONES.
MED by Minister Observation-Disclosures
Castle Believes President Would Not
Veto Annexation Bin If it Passed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Presi-
dent Cleveland will not favor the an
nexation of the Hawaiian Islands
This, at any rate, Is the opinion ex.
pressed by men who are in position
to know something about his views
respecting the matter.
A few weeks ago dispatches were
sent out from Washington to various
newspapers that Cleveland had
changed his views regarding the Ha-
waiian controversy, and that in bis
annual message to Congress he would
recommend the annexation of the
islands. 1t was not believed in diplo-
matte circles that he would take any
such position, and it is not believed
that he will favor any such scheme in
the future. The rumor of his alleged
change of front has never been re-
garded as having any foundation in
fact. The latest report regarding this
matter comes from Hawaii. The
President is still on his duck. hunting
trip, and no information, therefore,
can be obtained from him or his official
associates
So far as can he ascertained, the
officials of the Hawaiian Government
in Washington have no information
about this report. The Hawaiian
Minister, Mr.. Hatch, said today that
no communication of this kind had
been made to him by his Government
else it would have been teiegraphed
from San Francisco yesterday, when
the steamer arrived from the islands.
Frank P. Hastings, Secretary of the
Legation, also asserted that if such a
proposition had been made by Presi-
dent Cleveland it was news to him,
and expressed the opinion that if such
a move was contemplated the Presi-
dent would have said something about
it in his message to Congress. Suffi-
cient time has not elapsed since the
message was submitted for any COM
TO have been sent to Ha-
waii and a report of 1t to come back to
this country, and for this reason Mr..
Hastings was inclined to doubt the
correctness of the report.

Under Its Provisions Americans VIII
Practically Own the Line.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Senato
Carter of Montana today introduced a
bill authorizing the Pacific Cable Com
pany, corporation organized under
the laws of New York, to build a sub
marine cable from some point on the
Pacific Coast to the Hawaiian Islands
and Japan. 1t is to touch at Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, and such other points
as are deemed advisable. No liability
for construction is to attach to the
United States, but the United States
shall pay for period Of twenty years
a yearly sum of S25 per nautical mile,
not to exceed 1850 miles, and all mes
sages of the United States are to be
carried free for that period and given
preference in transmission. In case
Of war the United States may take
possession of the line. Press rates
shall not exceed half the rate paid for
ordinary messages. The line must be
laid and in working order within
twenty years from the approval Of the
bill.
Capital Stock Increased.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2l.-A
telegraphic dispatch to the Call from
New York states that the incorpOra-
tors of the proposed cable from San
Francisco to Honolulu had authorized
an increase in the capital from So
SOC, 900, the original amount, to $10,-
0O0,O 1000.

COLLECTION OF SEEDS.

Edward Dekum Brings Oregon
Fir and Cedar Trees.
Edward Dekum brought from
the North collection of seeds OF
the Oregon fir and cedar trees
which were carefully collected by
G. F. Pfuger, who has resided in
Portland ever since leaving Homo
lulu. Hackfeld & Co., to whom
the seeds were turned over for dis
tribution, will no doubt deliver
them to Commissioner Marsden for
planting in different parts of the
islands. 1t is thought these trees
can be successfully grown in such
places as Nuuanu, Manoa and
Hilo.
Some five years ago Mr.. Dekum's
father imported a number of sky
larks, nightingales, thrushes and
other German song birds into Ore
gon, where they were liberated,
and now the notes of these fine
feathered songsters can be heard in
the woods of the StBte during GER
tain seasons OF the year.

PORTUGUESE MISSION.
Exercises Held Christmas Eve.


Generous Donation for Church.
1t may be of interest to the many
who have had their attention recently
called TO the work and needs of the
Portuguese Mission, to know some
thing OF their Christmas exercises
held on Christmas eve.
The little church on Miller street
was filled to overflowing. The door
ways were crowded with many who
found it impossible to get inside. The
aisles were also crowded with extra
seats brought in, aud without doubt,
numbers went away unable even to
catch glimpse of the decorations Of
the room, or of those participating in
the exercises.
A long program of songs and recita-
tions was successfully carried out. A
kindergarten exercise in the first part
was very attractive. Also "Merry
Christmas" by a special class WAS
more than usually interesting. A
quite pretty effect was produced by
one spesker, appt ptaring back of and
thO NCAlCA Va a kc
seven foot star.
After the exercises came the dis-ri-
button of the Christmas presents. The
children were all bright aud eager
and made a very attractive appear
ance, so much so that one visitor had
very favorable comments 10 make in
regard to it.
In the course of his address, Pastor
Soares exhibited ten bright ten dollar
gold pieces which had been handed
him that day as Christmas present
from well known charitable lady of
this city, given for the proposed lew
church, in the hope that one year hence
the Christmas entertainment might
be held in larger place.
The mission was greatly favored
this year by beautiful Christmas
tree from Mrs. E. d. Tenney. All
who attended pronounced the event a
success, and went away feeling that
they had had an enjoyable time.

Land Commissioner J. F. Brown
returned from an extended official
inspection of Government lands on
Hawaii. He visited Hilo, Hama
kua and Olaa districts on matters
connected with homesteaders at
those places. The question Of a
sub-agent for the Hilo district will
probably be settled within the next
few days. E. D. Baldwin of Hilo
is favorably mentioned for the
place.

CASTLE ON HAWAII.

Says President Cleveland Would Not
Veto an Annexation Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-Before
starting on his return I Ap to Hawaii
Thursday ex-Minister Castle express
ed himself very freely as to the future
prospects of his country. "Inasmuch
as l was born in Hawaii" said Mr..
Castle, 81 am full fiedged Kanaka,
and naturally interested in every
thing pertaining to my country's well
fare. On my return to Honolulu it
will be source of pride as we'll as
pleasure to tell the representatives of
my Government that the prospects
were never better for amicable rela-
tions between Hawaii aud the United
States. Although have not
had a direct assurance from the
White House, my Information is such
as to lead me to believe that any
measures taken by Congress regard
ing Hawaii will be promptly sane
toned by President Cleveland.
Should bill pass the two houses of
the National Legislature favoring an
nexation or any other course of proce-
dure toward Hawaii, there need be no
fear entertained of veto at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion.
"Our people are very much encour-
aged by the manly vigorous tone of
the message Of President Cleveland on
the Venezuela matter, because it gives
them the assurance against further
British encroachments or aggressions
in the Pacific ocean. This intelli-
gence will be gratefully received and
appreciated by those interested in the
preservation and protection of the Re-
public of Hawaii, and it will oe a
source OF pleasure for me to be the
bearer of such good tidings to my
people"

of Senator Wilder of the Hawaiian
Senate, is in this city en- route to San
