RANDCART EXPERIENCE.
Continued.

The next day we made about %
miles, and good many of our feet
were sore and number had their
feet blistered, and we were all tired
indeed.
One brother more hardy than
many others, asked our little Frank
to again sing the Hand Cart song,
and methinks l now see him stamp
his little feet and wiring his hands
and yell at the top of his voice,
saying 81 will never sing it again.
and think he kept his word.
We travelled on and came to
large streams of water as the SHOWS
were melting very fast, in the dis
tant hills, and we had to wade and
carry our children, and some of us,
also carried our wives across the
streams, and pull our carts through;
and thus we travelled on, four or
five days, till our captain believed
we were In country where there
were plenty of buffalo, SO we camp
ed for a day in order to hunt for
buffalo. There was grove of
timber along stream, not far off,
and our hunters started out. Their
outfit consisted of six shotguns
and a few pistols, and we travelled
on shanks ponies, but of this, I
need not say much, only, when |
saw parties from other camps who
were well provided with rifles, am
unition, and good horses, | could
but laugh at our folly in attempt
ing to hunt buffalo on foot and
with such an outfit as that which
we had, but we had the best we
could procure, under the circum-
stances, and it was all we had to
either hunt with or protect our
selves from the red men of the
plains, who, in those days, were
not very pleasant companions.
1t was not very long ere we
arrived at a place called Genoa,
which consisted Of a few dugouts
and one small house.
There were more mosquitoes at
this place than l had ever saw at
one time before.
There were two men here, with
their wives, and each man had a.
yoke OF oxen, wagon and two or
three COWS, and they asked the
privilege to travel with the hand
cart company. AS Emigrant|
trains with OK teams, were travel
ing our way every week or ten days
] thought it rather strange that
they desired to travel with us, but
the first night we camped, revealed
the secret. They MIXED their
COWS, then with their milk and
measure went from cart to cart to
sell their milk, and the result was
that what little money the people
did possess, they soon had the most
OF it. Then they offered to let the
people have few pints Of milk and

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
(COntinued)

About this time I and elder Farrer
went to place on the Island of
Oahu where there were Calvinist
and Catholic priest residing, whose
churches were less than two miles
apart, both having fine chapels to
preach in, and the whole neighbour
hood, more or less, members of their
churches. The natives on learning
who we were, opened their doors
tor us to preach, and seemed very
interested in our message. We had
held a few meetings when we were
told that the Catholic Priest had
said that we were afraid to see him.
SO, the next day we called upon his
hlghness. He was a Frenchman
and could not speak english and we
could not talk french, so our con-
versatlon was done in the native
language. He was very polite and
kind and enquired if we had been to
dinner. Learning we had not, he
soon provided boiled Kalo and beef,
probably the best he had, which we
rcllshed very much. He said he
was busily engaged translatidg the
New Testament into the native
language, that the Protestant trans
latlon was incorrect in a great many
places. Soon our conversation
turned on religion. We asked the
privilege to preach in his meeting
house, but he would not grant it.
The next day we called on a white
man who said he came to the Islands
IN 1916, married native lady and
raised family. He treated us very
we'll and gave us dinner, consisting
of Sea biscuit, Coffee, sweet bread
and butter. When we told him who
we were, what our business was, &C.,
he said he did not dispute what we
said, neither did he feel to find fault
with any person on account of their
religion, but as for himself he chad
a belief that he meant to stick to and
did not mean to be turned away from
it." and seemed to manifest a desire,
that we leave his house, which we
did, thanking him for the dinner he
had given us.
We then gave the Calvinist preah-
er call and asked to be allowed to
preach in his church. His name
was Emerson. He few into a pas
sion and accused us of coming to
the Islands to divide the Church of
Christ and said our "dOctrine was a
distorted doctrine of the Bible, and
it was from the Devil. "
Leaving Emerson we went to fill
an appointment, and We found the
house full of natives waiting for US

the report OF the minority OF that COM

the majority OF the committee that
many thousand colOred voters in the

count Of circulars sent out by the Re-
publican state chairman. the report
says II Is Incredible that so many Of
them as Is alleged should have Obeyed
the order Of one man.
The resolution Is characterized hs a
sweeping one, fixing no limitation OF
the power Of the senate and the report
asks n this select committee can go
behind the returns Of the election Of
iicers in each county, how far can their
examinations be extended"
il also aSksJf the state law protecting

LONDON, May s.-The house Of COM
mons was crowded this afternoon and
the peers gallery was packed, ,Athis gath
erlng Of interested people being due to
the fact that the vote on the colonial
estimates was to be taken and that 1t
was to be made the occasion Of an Inn
portant exchange Of questions and an
swers upon South African Affairs.
United States Ambassador Bayard was
among those present
The Liberal leader, Sir William Har-
court. asked the government 10 make
statemnt regarding the raid Into the
Transvaal. In so doing he said that
the opposition had heretofore not unduly
pressed the government on this inn
portant matter. but they thought that
the time had now arrived for the house
to be informed OF the governments in-
tention in the case. The responsible de
rectnrs OF the British Chartered South
Africa company, at CapetoWn and
Johannesburg were. he said. the authors
OF the raid. and DR.. Jameson was only
the speaker claimed, was responsible for
the acts OF the chartered company be-
fore the nation and the world. (Ap-
plause from the opposition bcnches.)
Continuing. Sir William Harcourt re-
marked that the partixanS Of the COM
pany were trying TO pass on on the
credulIty OF the people that the raid was
an impulsive action to protect the peo-
pie of johannesburg against outrage.
But he could not think OF anything more
revolving than low slang of the cipher
grams which showed the true aspect OF
the AFFAIR.
Sir William Harcourt then proceeded
to anaIyze the telegrams exchanged be-
tween Cecil Rhodes, Colonel Rhodes,
Rutherford Harris. Alfred Belt Lionel
Phillips, DR.. Jameson and others, just
previous to the invasion OF the terri
tory Of the South African republic.
Later the opposition leader eulogiZed
the promptness. decision and courage OF
the secretary OF state for the colonies,
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, and dwelt up
on the course OF the chartered company,
declaring that II compromised Great
Britain'S reputation.
Mr.. Chamberlain. replying to Sir Will
lam Harcourt, said that while Cecil
Rhodes recent actions are universally
condemned, his past services must at
be forgotten. But for Englishmen like
Rhodes, English history would be mucn
poorer and the British dominions will
be much smaller (Applause)
With the view OF removing every
shadow OF suspicion the government
mad refused 10 advise the chartered
company relative TO Mr.. Rhodes reslg-
Mr, Chamberlain further said that
the government believed the proper
course to follow would be that Joint
committee OF both houses should IN
ouIre into the whole situation, including
the administration Of the British Char'
tered South Africa Company.
