Committee on Great Seal:
The Joint Committee of the
Senate and House of Representa-
tives appointed to consider de-
signs for Great Seal and De-
partment Seals and to report the
Same for adoption, beg leave to
report as follows:
With the permission of the Ex-
ecutive we gave public notice in
the newspapers that there would
be an open competition, and that
a prize Of fifty dollars would be
paid to the competitor whose de-
signs for Great Seal would be
adopted by the Legislature. In
pursuance of said notice twenty
seven different designs were sub
mitted to us and we have carefully
examined them and considered
their respective merits. We have
concluded to recommend for adop-
ton the design submitted under
tie nom de plume "Anglo-Dane,"
that being in our opinion the most
meritorious and constituting a
handsome and appropriate design
for a Great Seal.
a description of the design, to-
gether with key to the technical
terms therein used, is hereto at
tached.
The explanation Of the design.
as furnished by the desi 4ner, is
substantially as follows;
The great shield is the key
stone of the whole design.
The eight bars represent the
eight inhabited islands of the
gloqp undrsr one rule. The tabu
sticks 40 the emblem of authori-
ty ard protection. The star in
I'd 3 center is the star of Hawaii
which we hope to see ultimately
placed in the banner of the Unit
ed States. The supporters Of the
shield are Kamehameha |. and
the Goddess of Liberty, represent
ing respectively the old and the
new eras and the fusion of the
two races. The irradiate sun is
symbolic of the new era which has
dawned upon Hawaii with the adj
vent Of the Republic, while the
fabulous bird Phoenix represents
Hawaii Nei rising rejuvenated
from the ashes of the Monarchy,
Finally, the kalo and banana
leaves and ferns are suggestive of
the fruitfulness of the soil and
the tropical yerdure of the coun-
try.
As to the department seals, we
are of the opinion that they
should be Of uniform design, and
we think that the design now used
by the Interior Department is
suitable and well adapted for the
purpose. We therefore recon-
mend that that design be adopted
by the Departments of Foreign
Affairs, Finance and the Attorney
General as we'll as the Interior
Department, but inserting in each
respectively the proper depart
ment name.
We transmit herewith the de-
signs for the Great Seal which
were received by us and also the
design for the Department Seals
which we have recommended. EX-

In the Commons.

LONDON, April 17-In the house of
commons this afternoon Mr.. Chamber
lain said that the government has de-
cided to replace the troops Withdrawn
from Natal and Cape Town. Therefore
a battalion of line and a body of
mounted infantry will be dispatched
to these places as soon as possible.
This movement, he added, was connect
ed with the decision of the government
to permanently increase the strength
of the garrison of Cape Colony, a step
which had been urged by the military
authorities.
This announcement of Mr.. Chamber
lain was greeted with loud cheers and
was looked upon as meaning that the
government has finally decided to send
adequate reinforcements to South At
rica.
Mr.. Chamberlain added, however,
that except in the present emergency
the imperial troops were not suited to
the work of quelling native insured
ton. which, in the governments opin-
ion, can be most promptly dealt with
by the local forces There was, he
also said an ample number of men and
a sufficient supply of arms for that
purpose in South Africa The only diff
ficulty experienced was that of trans
porting the men and supplies from one
point to another.
Finally. Mr. Chamberlain said that
the government was prepared to au-
thorize the recruiting, if necessary, of
colonial troops for the suppression of
the disturbances in South Africa. But
the chartered company would have to
bear the expense.

THE INau1sIrIyE Hen.

A Fable-Once upon q time a wise old
hen, who was much addicted to the per-
nicious habit of eavesdropping, was pass
ing the door of her master when she
heard voices within. Pausing 10 listen
she heard her mistress speak after this
fashion:
's:las, I am sorely perpIexed, for /
cannot see how we may solve the prob
lem.
Speak guardedly, wife, lest your
troubles be caught up by unfriendly ears
and sown abroad the EARTH" said the
husband. But tell me, what mean your
And the master paused to listen for the
why does not the minister come for
dinner this day."
Aye, aye"
And the situation be after this wise:
If we kill the hen before she lays her
MONDAY egg we cannot set before the
taste?"
Then, verify. 1 would advise thee not
to XIII the hen until after she lays the
egg,
'Ah. that would seem logical upon it's
face, but it is true that the hen is old,
and therefore tough of muscle and sinew.
SO. If we should wait until that hour,
she could not be cooked in time for din
ner at ALL
one" spake the master, land I think it
would be best to trust to luck in the
whole matter, for who knows but that on
this very day the hen might lay her egg
an hour or two earlier. Then both cake
and fowl could be served, and all would
be well for the good man"
'Ah, Silas. thou sDeakest wisely, for
then he should never know how closely
we were obliged to figure in the matter, -
the wife observed.
Hearing these things, the wise old
hen shook her feathers and unused after
this fashion,
II may be fat and good-looking from a
culinary Standpoint, but there is no gain
saying that 1 am old and as tough as a
rock. Hence I'll pursue this course of ac-
ton I'll postpone the laying of the egg
at least four hours after the time they
have calculated on. That will make the
possibility of my being cooked for the
dominic out of the question, at least for
today"
So resolved, she hurried away, singing
blithely. But as she reached the farm
yard gate she came face to face with
the minister, who was passing toward
the house.
Now the minister, having seen live
chicken about the premises, was loath to
leave when he did not find meat of that
species on the dinner table.
And 1t came to pass that he remained
for supper also, when a fragrant Dotpie
adorned the center of the board.
Moral-It's a wise bird that fiocks by it.

BETTER THAN MONEY.
A New and Important Way of Look
ing at the Currency Question.

Public interest for months past has
been steadily concentrated upon our
national currency. Parties are divided
on the question. Men are worked up
over it. 1t means a great deal for the
welfare of millions.
There is one way of looking at the
question that seems to have been lost
sight of. Is it not better to have fifty
dollars in gold than five dollars in sill
yer? And yet there are many people
who are practically throwing away
large amounts and holding onto the
smaller amount. Many people who
might be earning ten times as much
as they do, fail because they lack
health and energy. Health and strength
represent a value greater than gold.
and yet many people put up with a,
run down system, which steals away
half their working power. Eventually
they lose by sickness and medical ex-
penses and their families suffer, when
it might all readily be avoided.
These are hard times. Thousands
are succumbing to the strains of life
1ll-health is the rule and not the ex-
and energy all the while. Health, which
is more valuable than gold, can be
maintained and even secured when it
is lost, If the proper care and the right
remedy are used. And we do not hest
tate to say that there are but few men
or women who read these words that
cannot be put in perfect condition by
the use of that great, that grand dis
covery, Warmers Safe Cure. This en-
tire paper could be filed with testi1
nonials from the grateful ones whose
lives have been saved and whose health
restored by it's use; and if you, reader,
are a sufferer you may readily be
among the number. We earnestly rec
ommend you to think seriously upon
this subject.

rHE ONE QUESTION.

NEW YORK. April ia special to
the World from Havana says: The one
supreme question now is whether Ma
Geo and his host can force passage
across the new Spanish trocha Of
earthworks, trenches and barbed wire
barriers This trocha is guarded by
10000 troops. 1t begins about twenty
five miles west of Havana. At least
80, OO0 Spaniards are on the other side
of the trocha at present attempting to
force the rebel leader to make stand
with his exhausted men. Spanish
troops are still pouring out in pursuit
and the force grows larger. Maceo is
now in the mountains of Lechusea,
north of Candelaria. He is said to be
hard pressed for food and ammunition.
The Spanish forces came into skirmish
touch with the rebels at several points
recently. A crisis is near. General
Weyler is profoundly absorbed in this
critical movement.

South Sea Queen Surrenders to the
French.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE
brig City of Papete, Tahiti. brings
news that Queen Mamea of the island
of Raiatea, in the South seas, has sur
rendered to her old enemies, the
French. The queen, according to the
reports is now thoroughly subdued
and beyond giving further trouble.
Queen Mamea has reigned over
Raiatea nearly score of years Her
subjects numbered about 1000 people,
fierce and uncivilized. Many efforts
were made TO conquer her without
avail
A few months ago a French gunboat
appeared at the island and in the
night landed strong force. In the
morning the queen found herself sur
rounded and was compelled to sur
render. She gave the French complete
sway over the island with the condi-
ton that she be still recognized as
queen. France is to control the ship
ping, which is said to be very valuable
and is to he permitted to establish a
coaling station at the principal har-
Dor. When the Papete left Tahiti the
French gunboat was anchored Oh
Raiatea. The English art said to
oppose French possession Of the island
and will ask that it be restored to
Queen Mamea.

CALLED HOME.
Edward Pnrdridge.

CHICAGO, April 17-Edward Partridge,
one of the well known operators on the
board of trade died of Bright's disease
today after several weeks illness.
Mr. Pardridge's speciality was wheat.
1t was no uncommon thing for him to
deal IN 100000 to 5,000000 bushels in one
day. On one memorable occasion, Par
bridges name was upon every lip. Was
he to meet Waterloo or was he to bag
the biggest game of his career. Up the
market scored. 8, 8 and even 10 cents
still the little Napoleon of the bears stood
out on great part of the 15,00O, 600. He
lnstinctively anticipated a rapid decline
IN the bolstered market. It came and so
sharply that no cover was left to the
bulls. Partridge made more money there
by than any man had ever before taken
out of the market under similar circum-
stances in Chicago The plungers gains
In one year were estimated by conser-
vative operators to have reached the to-
lal of $1,500,000. Almost equally large were
his losses, approaching the 100000 or
$S00.000 mark in certain memorable
sqeezes. His income from selling privi-
leges ranged from 81, 600 to $1,000 a day.
At one time he sold calls on 100000
bushels of wheat, for which he received
5000. Much of Pardridge's surplus in
fortunate periods was safely invested in
Chicago real estate. A short time ago
he sold his State street property, near
Madison street for over $600,00

NICARAGUAN CANAL.
Some of the Features Presented to
the House Committee.

Some OF the Features PRESENTED TO
the House Committee.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Mic
araguan canal commission. which visi
ted the isthmus last summer, presented
some features of it's side of the canal
question before the house committee
on interstate and foreign commerce to-
day. Engineer Endicott presented the
statements of Warner Miller and Engi-
neer Monocal of the canal company,
that the Investigations by the commits
sion had been of a cursory nature. Inc
board was in Nicaragua AZ days and
spent 81 days in actual fieldwork. Elk
cept in a few details, the plan of En-
gineer Monocal seemed to Endicott
feasible. While the company's plan
contemplated a canal % feet deep, the
commission was convinced that at GER
tain seasons the water would fall to
"a feet unless dams were built to
greater height.
Replying to a question Endicott
said in the event of war with nation
like Great Britain, the government
would be obliged to abandon the canal
but might solve the problem by blow
ing up the locks. From a military
point of view the canal was desirable.
The present value of all work done by
the company, Endicott estimated at
half a million. Its harbor works at
Greytown were in bad condition, not
much of value remaining. Portions of
the work would have to be removed.
The company's five dredges were sunk
in the harbor and were obsolete. His
estimate of the value of the company's
property when in good condition was
$1,250000 He did not believe the canal
could be built for $75,00O,0O0 (the COM
pany's estimate) even conceding Men
ocars plans to be feasible Asked
whether, if the government was will
ing to pay $4,000, 600 for the canal. it
would be advisable to begin work at
once, the engineer replied the govern
ment should make more satisfactory
surveys and estimates before going
forward. 1t was most important that
sufficient hydraulic data be secured and
also possible that a further inyestiea-
ton would increase the estimates of
cost.
In the afternoon the canal hearings
were continued. Mr.. Endicott explain
ed the plans for the Oehoo dam and
said that the dam would be safe il
not used as a weir. MIR. Noble of
Chicago. the civil member of the COM
mission, explained how the commits
sion had made UP its estimates of the
cost by the week by consultation with
contractors in the United States ac-
customed to handle work of the same
character. About s22,000,000 of the ad-
ditional cost over the company's esti-
mates found by the commission was
due to the enlargement of the canal.
which the commission thought neces-
sary. Mr.. Noble thought the climate
of Nicaragua more healthful than that
of the Mississippi bottoms.

Matabeleland to the Matabeies it is a
sort of Mecca, a place to their minds
they and nobody else should possess
and which, if, recaptured, must GER
tainly bring them back their old his
toric glories. This Feeling has been
steadily encouraged by the agents of
the Beers, who have everywhere been
preaching covertly but effectively a
crusade against the British. 1t is this
crusade which is at the bottom of all
the trouble, and it dates from the time
of DR.. Jameson's filibustering raid and
THE BAD WHIPPING
administered by the Beers to his free
hooters. To bring about the invasion
of the Transvaal, the territory of the
British South Africa company was
depleted of mounted police, arms and
ammunition. These were all either
captured by the Beers and shipped
out of the country, or are now in the
hands of the burghers. Here was the
opportunity of the Boer leaders and
they grasped it quickly and firmly.
1t is believed that the arrival here of
Sir Richard Martin, the newly ap-
pointed commandment general of the
Chartered company's forces in South
Africa, daily expected, will be the sig
nal for an energetic pushing
of the campaign against the Mata-
beles. Over 500 additional volunteers
have already been enrolled and several
detachments are now on their way
to Buluwayo.
1t is reported that the volunteers and
police at Buluwayo are contemplating
making a sortie to try to
TAKE THE MATABELES
by surprise. 1t is predicted here if this
be done, the British force will almost
certainly be annihilated, and that Bull
uwayo will fall into the hands of the
enemy. The towns only chance of
safety is believed TO be in remaining
strictly on the defensive until all the
reinforcements it is possible to send
there have reached Buluwayo. 1t Is
reported that the rebellion has been
checked in the Shiloh district, where
1900 Matabeles are said to have asked
for white protection. Old settlers, IA
miliar with South African warfare, say
this is only a ruse de guerre.
The apprehension in the minds of the
British government that the dispatch
of reinforcements to South Africa may
endanger the strained relations with
the Transvaal is indicated by a state
ment made by Governor Sir Hercules
Robinson to President Kruger.
Governor Robinson on behalf of Colo
NAL Secretary Chamberlain, explained
to President Kruger that the British
reinforcements which are being dis
patched to Cape Town and Natal do not
imply any change in the friendly pol
icy of the British government towards
the Transvaal.
Mr. Chamberlain wishes the Trans
wall to be informed of the decision to
send troops, the statement continues,
because he is aware that efforts might
be made to misrepresent the intentions
of the imperial government, in order
to prevent satisfactory understanding
between Great Britain and the Trans
Vaal

TESLA'S TRICKS.
The Latest Accomplished by the Y

The Latest Accomplished by the
Ray.
NEW YORK, April f.-Nicola Tesla
has, by means of the X rays. seen through
the bodies of three of his ASSISTANTS placed
in line.
Edison believed he had solved this
problem when he discovered the huore-
scent screen. In this he used tungstate
OF calcium which he believed to be six
times f1uorescent than the platio-barlo-
cyanide, which Roentgen and most of his
successors had used. Tesla, on the con-
trary, has persevered in using Plato
bario-cyanide for the fluorescent screen
after testing almost every known sub
stance and some few that were not recog-
nized previously. Where other expert
mentors have used voltage recoined in
thousands or even hundreds of thousands,
Tesla has used millions. His great object
was to secure vast power in the vacuum
tubes, and at last he has succeeded.
The skeleton of one of the assistants,
who stood at a distance of five or six
feet from the tubes, which was giving off
rays was seen plainly. But that was
not all Tesla has finally perfected the
X ray tube to such an extent that he
saw completely through skeleton as well
as flesh. One Of his assistants held a
brass plate in front Of his chest, moving
it up and down. The X ray had pene-
trated the body and through the f1uore-
scent screen Tesla could distinctly see
the brass plate as it moved
