A PRISON AS A HEALTH RESORT

1t is the one aim and object of some
people to find the most healthy spot
to live in. The latest health resort
the Hospital has heard extolled is
Pentonville Prison, where during tl',
past year, among 11,495 prisoners,
there has only been one death.
Whether the argument is most in fav-
or of limited diet and plenty of work.
or of the healthiness of the locality.
or all three combined, says the Mel
ical Record, it is not possible to state
definitely.

TALK TABU.

WILMINGTON, Del, June 0.-The
latest and strangest sensation which
this little state has developed is the
arrest and imprisonment of man
for exercising the right of free speech.
His name is William Koran, and he is
now imprisoned behind the grim walls
of the Kent county Jail at Dover be-
cause he attempted to tell the people
of that town what "single tax" means.

kONA COAST TIDAL WAVE
MUCH HEAVIER THAN THE RUSH
OF WATERS ON KAUAI.
Serious Damage Done-Many Houses
Washed Away-Stores Flooded
Wharves molished-Incidents.

The w. G. Hall arrived early this
morning from Hawaii and Maui. Cap
tain Simerson brings the following ac
count of the action of the tidal wave
on Hawaii
AT kailua the water rose to height
of twenty feet, flooding the stores of
&. McDougall and Kaelemakule, to a
depth of four feet and damaging con-
siderable merchandise. The lumber i'm
the yard of Scott & Carke was fioated
away, the whole of the piles being
carried by the water all over the
beach. The lumber will all be recov-
cred as it was left high and dry on
the water receding, though it will
cost considerable money to haul and
pile it again. The heavy wave carried
away lot of planliing from the Kai-
lua wharf and shook the whole struc-
ture up considerably One native
house at the same place was complete
ly moved away.
The wave made itself felt all along
the Kona coast. At Ke Au Hou nine
houses were washed down. while the
rest of the dwellings were all flooded.
the wharf was damaged. All the
orange barrels belonging to the orange
groves were carried away. and gen
eral havoc was caused all around.
Napoopoo Jared no better. Scott's
lumber stock at that place was washed
all over the beach and the wharf wls
damaged, while three houses were
completely washed away. At Hookena
the wharf suffered, and all the houses
at that place were inundated, the wat
er all round was strewn with lumber,
barrels, and every conceivable floating
thing, and great CONSERVATION pre-
vailed throughout the district.
The Hall was at Honouapo when
the first sign of disturbance was OBJ
served, on Monday the 18th. Captain
Simerson deemed it advisable to leave
his moorings and at noon he hove up
anchor and put out to sea. When at
a sufficient distance from land the
steamer was hove to and lay outside
until o'clock in the evening of the
same day. BY that time the heaviest
part of the waves had passed and the
Hall returned to her regular anchor
age.
The water rose some twenty feet in
kau, almost reaching the warehou ,r.
in Honoapo. Fortunately it did not
do so, as there was an amount of
sugar stored there, The only damage
reported there is a slight one to the
wharf.
After the big wave the tide rose and
fell to an unusual degree along the
Kona coast. AT Kau from $3.50 a. M.
Monday until 4:3U p. m. Tuesday &,
large rise and fall was noticeable, thus
lasting two days. Captain Simerson

Ii HUNG CHANG !
AS A STUDENT
His Sole Mission Apart From the
Coronation Ceremonies.

MOSCOW, May 24.-Li Hung Chang.
the special envoy of the emperor of
China to the coronation of the czar+
has submitted to an interview on the
subject of his mission in Russia, and
in other western countries, which he
will visit when he leaves Russia. .
He said he intended to go to America,
after visiting France and England!
The sole mission entrusted to him, he
continued, apart from the coronation
was to study the European and Ameri-s
can systems of government with al.
view to introducing foreign customs in
China !:
He formally denied that any treaty.
had yet been concluded with Russia !.
as has been so often asserted in the'
last few months. He also said that he)
had no projects for the conclusion of.
the treaties with any power. Russia
and China, he averred. were in accord
on all points ana it was China's wish.
to maintain the same excellent rela-,
tons with France.
Questioned as to the relations of Chinai
to Great Britain Ii said it was difficult
to make himself acquainted with this
point until he had visited England.

CHICAGO, May ply the explosion
of a gasoline stove on Townsend street
today family of six persons was al
most exterminated. Four are dead and
a fifth is SO badly burned that death is
almost certain. The names of the dead
are: Otto Hahn, a carpenter, 30 years
old. Sima Hahn, 8 years old. Hilva
Hahn, 6 years old. Otto Hahn, jr., 8
years old.
The injured: Mrs. Ella Hahn, SO
years old, burned arms and face; will
recover. Ellen Hahn, years old,
severely burned about head and body,
will probably die
Mrs. Hahn, the wife and mother, had
arisen to prepare breakfast and her
husband and children were still asleep
in bed. She lighted a gasoline stove,
when the reservoir which holds the
supply of oil exploded, throwing the
burning fluid about the room Before
the sleeping members of the family
could be taken out, or even warned,
they were shut in by flames and burned
almost to a crisp. When the explosion
occurred Mrs. Hahn rushed frantically
from the dwelling and screamed for
help. Then she returned to the house,
soon re-appearfng with her 3-year-old
child in her arms. Pieces of burning
clothing still adhered to the burned
flesh of the babe and it died shortly
afterward. The screams of the mother
had by this time brought the neigh
bors to the scene.
The fire department was summoned
and the firemen rushed into the rooms
and removed the inmates while water
was thrown upon the flames The
mothers burns were attended to by the
doctors and it was found they were
comparatively slight. She was re-
to the home of some friends.

went on TO state that the writer was
in possession of all the facts and unless
some money was forthcoming they
would be made public.
The letter, which was written in
Scandinavian, had an Endorsement on
the back which translated read: The
statements made in this letter are all a

Rev. Hermans explained the letter in
this way. that the Anderson woman
had attempted to blackmail him by
sending him the letter. He took it and
went TO her home threatening to have
her arrested if she did not retract what
she had stated in the letter. Lolita de-
manded that the letter be handed back
to her, but Hermans told her she could

On Saturday, extended reports of the
case were sent out by wire and ap-
peared yesterday in newspapers all
over the world. Hermans could hard
ly have failed to have seen them and
if he rs innocent his first move would
naturally be TO surrender himself or
send some word to his associates here.
But he has done nothing of the kind.
Evidently he has taken pains to hide

found
Intense interest in the case has been
aroused all over the United States.
This is shown by the fact that al
though the regular press reports were
heavy and covered the case fully, lead

THE HOUSE.
Rapidly Clearing the Decks For
Final Adjournment.

fSap1uly Clearing the DECKS rOr
Final Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The house
is rapidly clearing the decks for final
adjournment. Conference reports are
likely to consume a large portion of the
time of the house this week, as they did
last. In the last days of the session
little indulgence is given members, and
by the operation of the rules in mat
tiers of high privilege, like conference
reports, questions can be brought to
a vote at the will of the leaders. The
clamor for unanimous consent, which
becomes louder as the session grows
shorter, promises TO be checked at this
session by the action of Mr.. KEN
(Pop.), of Nebraska, if he persists in
his threat. He demanded the regular
order at every opportunity last week
and threatens To continue to do so 70
the end Of his congressional career I'M
less the speaker recognizes him TO move
the passage of a bill to grant an ADAM
doned military reservation to his state.
If he carries out his programme he
will relieve Speaker Reed whom he is
seeking to embarrass, of the Immense
pressure to which a speaker is always
subjected TO at such times.
THE PHILLIPS LABOR COMMITS
SION BILL
and the Erdman arbitration bill. which
were crowded out by conference re-
ports last week, will be brought up
this week, If time permits.
The bill to repeal the free alcohol
clause of the present tariff law in the
shape of the compromise proposition
agreed upon by the friends and foes
of the measure, will, however, be al
lowed the right of way before these
two bills.
There are also six election cases on
the calendar. The Murray VS.. Elliott
case, from South Carolina, and the
Mitchell VS.. Walsh case from New
York, in both of which the majority
reports favor the Republican contest
ants, are the most urgent of these, and
it is the intention of the leaders to
dispose of them at this session.
Tomorrow is District of Columbia

NEW YORK, May 24.-News reached
this city today from Puerto Cortez,
Honduras, that the steamship Bermu-
da, with a large party of flibusterers
and a cargo of ammunition and provi-
sions, had a narrow escape from being
captured by the Spanish warships on
her last cruise to Cuba. This was the
Bermuda's second successful trip.
She crossed the St Johns river bar
on April IT, Lieutenant Colonel Reid
avidal was in charge of the expedition
and the steamer was in commanlI of
Captain E. G. Reilly. The Bermuda
hove to at q place on the northern
coast of Cuba, some ten miles east of
Cardenas, and at once began to lower
her boats. 1t was said today by one
in authority that the first boat cap
sized, being overloaded and that
FIVE MEN WE'RE DROWNED,
among them N de Cardenas, brother
of Colonel Nicholas de Cardenas, one of
the insurgent leaders. The cargo was
all landed. when one of the boats got
adrift Some of the party began shout
ing. Suddenly the flash of an electric
light was seen over the ships masthead.
The shouts of the men in the boat
had been heard by a Spanish warship.
There was a flash and a roar and a
solid shot passed about three hundred
feet astern of the steamship.
Captain Reilly headed his ship west
ward and was pulling away from the
Spaniard very quickly.
A few minutes after a second shot
was fired and went wide. Then it was
discovered that the Spanish gunboats
were in pursuit. The race between the
warships and the f1libusters was an ex-
citing one, but the Bermuda had no
trouble in showing the Spaniards her
heels When day dawned nothing could
be seen of the gunboats.
