May Be a Break in the Sandwich
Island Group-Would Like
to See War.

San Francisco. Cal, Jan. 13.-The
steamer Australia today brings the fol-
lowing from Honolulu, January 6: Min
lister of Foreign Affairs Cooper is on the
island of Hawaii. He will see the lead
ing men Of the island regarding a rumor
that Hawaii wishes to secede and form
its own government. The Legislature
will meet next month and the secession
movement will be brought up. If the
residents of the island decide to form
their own government nothing but out
side interference would prevent them.
This government would be powerless as
Hawaii is more thicl1ly populated than
any other island of the group.
The friends of Liliuokalani would like
to see war between the United States
and England. believing England would
seize these islands and restore Liliuoka-
lani. The remaining political prisoners
were released New Years day. All

CHASTISING CHAIRS.
An English Baronet's Queer Method c
Expressing His DisapproYal

An English Baronet's Queer Method of
Expressing His Disapproval.
Students of the human character may
be interested in noting how a Yorkshire
baronet, sometime since called to his
rest, used to punish his servants. Dur
ing the greater part of his life he was
a member of Parliament, and throughout
his whole career he was remarkable for
mental vigor, fertility of resource and
shreWdness of observation.
Arranging number of chairs together
in his dining room. he would associate
the name Of each one of his servants
with particular chair, and then, arming
himself with stick, would proceed to
convict and chastise the offender.
The first two or three of these chairs
he would probably pass by, saying that
these particular servants were all right,
until coming to the chair associated with
the man in disgrace, he would proceed to
break his stock over it, eXclaiming loud
ly that the unfortunate individual was
a rogue and q vagabond, and any other
abusive epithet that might occur to him.
Meanwhile the servants, listening be-
hind the door, were able to announce the
approaching dismissal of the servant con-
victed and chastised in this peculiar man
ner. Such a statement appearing in a
novel might be supposed to have had it's
origin in the imagination of the writer,
but it is here set down as a plain matter
of fact

FROM THE GARDEN THAT Hove"

Had I a garden it should lie
All smiling to the sun,
And after bird and butterfly
Children should rOmp and run,
Filiing their little caps with flowers,
The air with shout and song;
While golden-crestS in guelder bowers
Rippled the whole day long.
Had I garden, alleys green
Should lead where none could guess,
Save lovers to exchange unseen
Shy whisper and caress.
For them the nightingale should sing
Long after it WAS June.
And they should kiss and deem it spring,
Under the harvest moon.
Had [ a garden, claustral yewS
Should shut out railing wind,
That poets might on sadness muse,
With majestic mind;
With ear attuned and godlike gaze,
Sean heaven and fathom hell,
Then through Life's labyrnthine maze,
Chant to US, ''All is we'll
Had l garden, it should grow
Sheltered where feeble feet
Might loiter long, or wander slow,
And deem decadence sweet;
Pausing, might ponder on the past,
Vague twilight i'll their eyes,
Wane calmer, comelier to the last,
Then die as autumn dies.

crowned with success to end the Vene-
zuela dispute by an agreement with
Venezuela direct

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. lin the libel
suit of ex-Mayor Hopkins DEM against
John r. Tanner, aspirant for the Re
publican nomination for governor, Judge
Adams today sustained a demurrer to
the defendants plea.
Hopkins charged that Tanner pub
lished a libelous pamphlet in which he
asserted that Hopkins, through the po-
lice courts, had extorted money from
various people for political purposes.
Judge Adams holds that the plaintiff is
entitled to know the specific charges,
and as the pleas did not set these up
the demurrer to them was sustained.
The court also holds that the defendant
shall give the names of all the persons
whom the defendant claims extorted
money for the ex-mayor. The practical
