also left instructions that II his continu-

President Kruger has IN his possession

from Sir Hercules Robinson to the i'm

courses open to the imperial government,

London, May THE Daily Telegraph
has q dispatch from Cape Town which In
dscateS that the conspiracy to overthrow
tbs Transvaai had a still wider ramificA-
fion. The dispatch says; II; is stated that
an OF the kilograms from the Chartered
South Africa Company in Cape Town bore
the stamp OF the compAy's service fund.
From copies of the letters which the
Transvaal obtained from DR.. Jameson up
on his capture. II seems that orders had
been given to prepare everything in Mata-
beieland for an invasion OF the Transyaal."
A dispatch from Pretoria says: 'Presi-
dent Kruger keenly smypathizes with Mr..

vinced he was quite unaware OF the intr;-

The Pretoria correspondent ieiegraphs
TO the Times. THE calm and generous
attitude of the South African Republic
after the injury and the provocation it
has received merits recognition. England
might well extend the hand OF friendship
ana endeavor to meet such of the wishes
of the Transyaal as are not inconsistent
with their interests
The Daily Mail asserts that Rutherford

rendered his resignation. He was one Of

who knew me marvelled at the

Pills. This is the first time, how

publication"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have a
remarkable efficacy in curing diseases
arising from an Impoverished con-
dition of the blood, or from an inn
pairment of the nervous system, such
as anaemia, general muscular weak
ness, dizziness, loss Of memory, loco
motor ataxia, paralysis, sciatica,
rheumatism, st. Vitus' dance, scro-
fula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also specifics for the troubles
leculisr to the female system, correct
ing irregularities, suppressions and
all forms of female weakness. In the
case of men they effect radical cure
in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excuses of any
nature. These pills are not purga-
tive medicine. They contain only
life-giving properties, and nothing
that could injure the most delicate
nystem. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
sold by HoLLIsTER DRUG Co., whole
sale agents for Hawaiian Islands and
all dealers in medicine.

The completion of the local tele-

Horning's Mills by Messrs. John Met
calfe and w. 81. Marlett. referred to
in these columns recently, was the
means of bringing to the notice of a
reporter of the Economist the fact of
the remarkable restoration to health
some time ago of Mr.. Metcalfe, the
chief promoter of the line. For about
two years Mr.. Metcalfe was a terrible
sufferer from sciatica, and unable to
work. While not altogether belfast,
he was so badly crippled that his
bent form, as he occasionally hobbled
about the streets of Mornings Mills,
excited universal sympathy. The
trouble was in one of his hips and he
could not stand or walk erect. His
familiar attitude, as the residents

STOLE TYPEWRITERS.
Underwood and Morrow Came
Here on Funds so Secured.

Late Coast papers devote consider
able space to the supposed fllibusters,
Morrow and Underwood, now serving
sentences here.
The way in which they obtained
funds to get to Honolulu has been
learned. They secured type-writers
without paying for them and then
pawned the machines. 1t is known
that they got four typewriters and Sc
cured $50 from the pawn brokers, but
how many other things they stole in
the same way has not come to light
yet DR.. Underwood figured as the
swindler in the cases of the typewrit-
ers. Warrants are now out for his ar
rest on charges of felony embezzle-
ment, and Morrow is also wanted by
the police on other charges. AS the
two Adventures are now in Jail in
Honolulu, it is not likely that they
will soon be called to account for their
criminal transactions in San Fran
cisco.

AT the completion of the dinner, F.

who, as toast master, called upon va
rious Germans present to respond to
toasts, the principal ones being "Ger-
many and the German Empire" by
Copsul Hackfeld; "The Army" by
Professor Berger; Chancellor Bis
marck" by G. Berlowitz; "The La
dies" by Alex. Isenberg.
After the toasts, pleasant little
speeches were made by various Ger.
mans present. A general good time
was INDUCED in until a late hour,
when the party broke up, every one
expressing himself as abundantly sa-
tisfied with the success of the days
festivities.

chairman, doing all in their power to
make the event memorable one in
the hearts of Germans in Honolulu.
At Independence Park.
The days festivities began at Inde-
pendence Park pavilion, where from
to p. m. all Germans were invited
to be present.
The hall was most tastefully decor
ated with flags of all nations, prinoi-
pally German, and green's and palms
in abundance. This part of the work
was done by George R. Grau, Carl
Widemann and others.
The program of the afternoon was a
general good time. The Hawaiian
Band was divided in two parts, one
being stationed outside the pavilion
and the other used as an orchestra
for dance music in the hall.
All afternoon Germans from this
and other islands poured into the hall
and there INDUCED in pleasant con-
verse with their friends, the principal
topic being the Vaterland.
Dancing proved source of great
enjoyment to many. The floor was
occupied during the whole afternoon
by devotees of terpischOre
Speeches were made by different
people during the afternoon, the prin.
cipal one being by Consul Hackfeld
at the opening of festivities. In it
Mr.. Hackfeld spoke of Germany, the
Emperor and the German people.
The speech was on the patriotic order
and drew forth rounds of applau-e
from the Germans present.
The whole afternoon was a very
pleasant one, and served to renew IN
the hearts of the Germans their Unborn
love of country and priue in their
ruler. The committee deserve great
credit for bringing the affair to such
successful termination.
The Hotel Banquet.
The festivities at Independence Park
pavilion were complete in themselves,
but the day would not have been pro-
perly terminated without the splendid
dinner at the Hawaiian Hotel
The large hall was most artistically
decorated, the work being done by the
Chinese walters and the hotel gar
dener under the supervision of Man
ager Lucas. Potted ferns and palms
were set about at different points in
the hall. Palm leaves prettily arched
over the windows and doors made
belt of green around the whole room. |
The chandeliers and open wood work
were decorated with sprays of vines
and red flowers prettily entwined. |
There was no prOfusion in the matter
of decorations with ferns and palms,
just enough being distributed about to /
make pretty effect
The center of attraction in the mat
ter of decoration was large picture
of the ceremony of the proclamation
of William l. as Emperor of Germany
by all the German monarchs hung on I
the mauka wall of the dining hall.
The troops all drawn up in line made
an imposing effect in the picture.
This was draped with German hag-,
setting it out prominently.
The tables were prettily set and
decorated with various kinds Of
flowers. Button hole BOUQUETS were
set at each plate.
Over forty prominent Germans of
the city. with ]. F. Hackfeld presid-
ing, were present and appeared in the
right mood for a jolly good time. A
sumptuous repast had been provided
Tor the guests of the evening. The
menu was as follows:
