HIS Personal GUARANTEE.
Mr.. Wilson Explains His Position
Toward the Ex-Oueen.

MR.. EDITOR-On page 642 of the

other than knowledge of the fact that
the story referring to certain william
Gus ISLANDERS in the Hawaiian Star
some three years ago. was published
in the interests of missionary rule in
Hawaii. and in the year of grace 1895,
the same gentlemen who invented and
circulated the lie employed Wilson as
their agent to take charge of and safely
keep the Queen
First OF all, 1 absolutely repudiate
and deny the infamous allegations and
insinuations contained in the Star ex-
tract, and brand them as foul and will
full lies.
Secondly, l totally deny that l am or
have been employed to take care of and
safely keep the Queen. To secure the
eX-Queen's release from her confine-
ment in the Palace, l offered my per-
sonaI guarantee to the Government that
should she be permitted to freely reside
in her home, amongst her own attend
ants, there would be no political de-
signs carried on there. The ex-Qucen
was released shortly after and was per-
mitted to reside at Washington Place,
and resided in the adjoining premises
with my wife, so that l might, if neces-
sary, be able personally to truthfully
assure the Government that the pledge
had been carried out to the letter, in
case any suspicion should arise that it
was being broken. They neither en-
Ployed me nor offered to employ me,
and in so far Mr.. Haynes statement to
that effect is false, and in its present
form liable to create an impression Of
my conduct in the matter injurious to
me. g. BURNETTE WILSON.

RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.

The dispatches of yesterday say that
the relations between our Government
and that of Spain are strain ed, because
Of disagreement between Captain Cen
eral Weyler of Cuba and United States
Consul General Lee at Havana The
trouble arises out Of alleged violation of
treaty obligations on the part of Wey-
Ter in the matter of according Ameri-
cans who are prisoners In Cuba such
trial, and opportunities to prepare for
trial. as the treaty guarantees to them.
Until official returns from Consul Lee
are made public, 1t will not be possible
to form correct judgment in the mat
ter. Tt will be safe to surmise, how
ever, that Weyler Is in the wrong, and
that he will be called down by the
Madrid Government and due apologies
made. For It is not thinkable that
Spain will join issue with US to the ex-
tent Of breaking off friendly relations
at this time. Spain has trouble enough
on hand at present without provoking a
quarrel with the United States that
would result in the speedy loss Of Cuba

A Remedy for Seasickness.

None of the remedies" discovered for
sea-sickness in the past have been very
effectual. Thomas Moy now writes sug-
gesting something new in this way
Some years ago, when crossing the Irish
Channel on board passenger steamer,
with very rough sea, it occurred to
him that as the motions Of the vessel
produced sea-sickness, it might be pos
sible to so utilize such motions as to
prevent that disagreeable malady. The
vessel has three kinds Of motions: a
rising and falling motion Of the entire
vessel; an oscillatory motion longitu-
dinally about its center of gravity, and
transverse rolling motion. Mr.. Moy
treated the longitudinal motions as hav-
ing tendency to drive matter, centri-
fugally, toward the head and stern, and
the rolling motions as having similar
tendency to drive matter outward from
the center of such motions
Now for details. "The entrance to
the stomach" says Mr.. Moy, "is on the
left side of the body, the oesophagus
end, and the exit is on the right side, the
pyloric orifice; and my experiment con-
sisted in utilizing the longitudinal mo-
tons so as to keep the food in the stom-
ach, and utilizing the rolling motions so
as to assist the natural operations Of the
oesophagus in propelling the food
toward the pyloric orifice. This I ef-
fected by selecting a couch arranged In
line with the keel, lying with my head
toward the engine-room, and lying
upon my left side" The experiment.
Mr.. Moy adds, was entirely successful.
and he has always adopted 1t in rough
seas, when suitable berth could be
obtained. 1t would be interesting to
know whether any one else has tried the
remedy, and If so, with what result

A Defense of Tagging.

OF the bigger boys Of our schools we
have to create the educators Of the
smaller boys, and certainly we cannot
expect more of the pupils than Of the
teachers. That the bigger boys should
impress their opinions and their ways
of thought upon the smaller Is no less
inevitable, under all circumstances
than that they should employ them to
run their errands and fetch their cricket
balls These things will be done
whether we have fags or whether we
have that freedom from tagging which
We're better called anarchy, but whereas
under the tagging system we have a
recognized body to exercise this author
jty-a body qualified, by a sense Of its
possibilities, to express healthy
opinion that shall carry just weight
IN the absence Of tagging we leave the
small boy at the mercy of any bigger
than himself (no matter what his po-
sidon in the school; we remove from
the bigger boys none Of the power
whether actual or moral, we only take
away from them the sense of response
bllity for it's proper use
If only each nlorbidly sensitive par
ent could realize this fact for herself,
that her beloved Tommy, when he goes
- school, is at the mercy of the boy Of
bigger fist, no matter on what patent
system invented by gods or men the
school be conducted, then we should
rot hear quite so much Of the bullying
fostered by that horrid tagging"
Rather would the tender maternal
heart take comfort in the reflection that

master whose cricket drives he has

A GOOD ROAD SIGN.

When General Stone delivered an ad-
dress recently, by request, on the sub
ject of good roads and their relation TO
progress and civilization before the Ed
ucators' Convention held at Buffalo, n.
Y, the New York Tribune" called at
tention to 1t as a circumstance signih-
cant that road science should engage the
attention and interest Of such a body
of representative people, where a few
years ago the suggestion that any con-
course desired to be instructed upon the
subject would have been considered an
absurdity.
This same address by General Stone,
# seems, has attracted attention in Eng
land, and the "Tribune's" London corre-
spondent recently used the fact to
point a moral in reference to the neces-
sity for constant watchfulness over
roads when once constructed, SO as to
keep them in perfect order. Yet Eng
land has perhaps the best roads in the
world, possibly even outdoing France
Her roads excite the admiration OF all
travellers. and their perfection Is due to
the diligence given to repairs. defect

giurn pays in road matters, and 1t would
nav here also If only we could convince
ourselves of the shameful wastefulness
of our want of system. The Tribune
declares that the output of our people
for repaTrs on roads alone exceeds S4o,-
600 600 a year, and that after all that
penerositv to ourselves there is practi-
cally nothing to show for It. While the
'.Tribune's" figures are high, and saao 10

TALE OF A NEW TYPEWRITER
MisfOrtuneS That Followed the Pur.
chase OF r1achine.

The other day got typewriter. I
had become impressed with the beauti-
full and rapid work reeled Off in the
office by number of my associates on
their machines.
Having decided to get one myself
didn't make any great fuss about it, but
simply lugged it in one morning and
placed it on my desk with assumed non
chalance. This was my first grave err
ror. I ought to have made a great pre-
liminary ado about getting my ma
chine; ] should have consulted every
body in the office and so arranged 1t
that they would all have got to fighting
among themselves as to the superiority
Of different makes of typewriters. This
would have distracted attention from
me.
When inserted the paper just as the
typewriter agent had shown me, and
started to make an impression on it, l
was conscious that the eyes of at least
five expert operators, including those OF
the two young ladies, were gazing upon
me in steadfast pity.
l was ratified. My fingers came down
upon the keyboard with involuntary
violence and struck three characters at
once.
Somebody snickered. knew that all
were "grinning.''
Well, l was mad; SO I jabbed at the
helpless keys till I had written three
lines, which read something like this:

writer contemptuously.

ting off about 40 words a minute on
his superior "Dimiger" typewriter.
One of the young ladies approached
me. Its rather cute; do you like it?"
Yes" I again lied. Then she again
gave me to understand that I'd regret
not having bought "Blost" machine.
Everybody in the office picked that
"Droniger" of mine to pices for the next
week. Many times I should have liked
to kick it to pieces.
My friends came in and noted the new
typewriter. They bothered me to death.

Can you write with it?'
What in the world did you get a

How does this thing work?"
Finally I wrote notice with the ma
chine and fixed 1t up on the desk. 1t
read:
yes. i Like the typewriter "43O;Y

Monkeys as Miners.

According to the Revue Scienti-
flque," a French nline-owner In the
Transvaal has some monkeys infected
with the auri sacra flames. 1t has hap
pened in this way. The mine-owne had
originally two little monkeys, which
were in the habit of accompanying their
master to his visit to the mines They
saw the workmen gathering the ore,
and soon learned to initiate them and to
distinguish traces of the precious metal.
They thus became of use to their en-
ployer. who procured twenty-four
others, which, having been initiated
into the mysteries of mining by the
first pioneers, soon became so expert as
to fill the places Of five or six men. The
monkeys are extremely honest, SAYS the
veracious correspondent Of the Re
vue," for they have not yet been per-
verted by their human fellow workers.
