The commencement exercises OF ka-
waiahao Seminary, at Y. NJ. c. A Hall
last evening, was attended by over a
hundred and fifty people, among whom
were a large number of Hawaiians. Had
all the exercises on the program been
failures. the Seminary girls would still
have been given great credit for one
tbing-that they began Immediately as
the hour of 1870 struck.
The first number on the program was
q chorus by the whole Seminary, after
which came another chorus, welcome
the Primrose" by sixteen of the older
girls Next came a fan drill with sing
ing accompaniment, by the younger
girls of the Seminary. This was one OF
the best numbers on the program, ana
brought forth rounds OF applause. A
double quartet by the older girls was
well sung and brought forth an encore.
By special request the whole SEMI
nary, with Miss Kapu as solo1st, sang
Maui no ma ka OIL composed by Rev.
S. Kapu of Maui. This selection was
received with the greatest OF enthusl-
asm The concluding number on the
second part of the program was
marching chorus by the Seminary.
The second part opened with can

the older girls, marching two by two
and carrying various kinds of packages.
Noticeable among the number is Chi

peep forth pineapple or two. And next
appears Friday" with broom and dust

On the AsIatic station.

Washington, Dec. Sl.-An order has
been sent to the admiral commanding
the Asiatic station detaching the Petrol
from his squardon and directing that
she proceed to San Francisco. Arriv-
ing there she will be put out Of COM
mission for an overhauling. Her re-
lief, the Boston, is now at Mare island
navy yard. She has been put in first
class condition, and will start on her
long voyage across the Pacific, in day
or two. The Petrol will not await hel
arrival, but will start for home as soon
as she can be prepared for the trip. II
is the evident policy of the administers
tion to maintain strong feet on the
Asiatic station until the disappearance
of all signs of further trouble among
the countries of the Orient.

says England Must Not ylsla.

London, Jan. 2.--The Duke Of Somer.
set writes to the Post this morning
protesting against Lord Salisbury do.
ing anything to assist the Venezuela
commission, which the duke says ought
to be ignored. He added:
''If England yields in the slightest
to America. it will be as serious to our
prestige as when Mr.. Gladstone allowed
our flag to be trodden by the Beers. "
The New York correspondent Of the
Times argues that the fact that Senator
Sherman allies himself with the presi-
dent on the Venezuela question augrs
Ill for the cessation Of the controversy.
Mr.. Sherman sides with President
Cleveland against all the great lawyers
and all the best authorities on this
question:, both American and Eu-
ropean. and against Monroe himself,
says the correspondent. He thinks
Senator Sherman's attitude indicates
that the Republicans are not entirely
separated from President Cleveland.
He sees danger in Senator Sherman'f
assumption that the quieter state OF
affairs grows ont Of the belief among
the people Of the United States that
Lord Salisbury is ready to acquiesce
in arbitration.
A Melbourne dispatch to the Times
says: "A banquet was held at AIDE.

Amendment to the Bond Bin.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, today presented an amend.
ment which he proposes to offer to the
house bond bill. It provides that any
holder of silver bullion, who is citi-
zen of the United States, may tender
the same to the secretary Of the treas
ury and have it coined into silver dol
lars, the seigniorage to be the differ
ence between the original value and
the market price of the bullion in New
York; for the cancellation of all bank
notes of less than $40; directing the
secretary of the tresaury to coin the
silver bullion in the treasury into silver
dollars, to be used in redeeming the
treasury notes issued for the purpose Of
purchasing silver bullion under the
Sherman act; and the redemption Of
the greenbacks in either gold or silver,
and for their reissue according to the
provisions of the act Of 1878.

Indemnity Demanded for Losses Sus-
tanned at Kharput.
Washington, Jan. 2. - Secretary
Olney has directed Minister Terrell, at
Constantinople, to demand an indem-
nifty of 800, 900 from Turkey for the
benefit Of the Armeican missionaries
who suffered loss Of property in the
Kharput outbreaks in November. Min
lister Terrill has also been instructed to
inform the sultan's ministers that an
additional indemnity will be demanded
for the benefit of Americans who suffer
cd loss Of property at Marash few
weeks later. This second demand will
be formally made as soon as the exact
loss sustained by Americans at Marash
can be officially determined. 1t is NOT
expected that the sum Of indemnity
will be less than 500, 900, and it may
be more.
Secretary Olney in his letter to the
president on December 10, for the in
formation of congress, said the Turkish
government would be held responsible
for all losses to Americans at Kharput.
he has now begun the fulfillment oi
that promise. He also stated that Q
like demand would be made for the
losses at Marash.

johannesburg, South Africa, Jan. Q.
The political crisis here, brought
about by the efforts of the foreign
population to obtain equal political
rights with the Beers, has reached an
acute stage. The exodus Of women
and children is increasing. All trains
leaving are crowded, and the price of
food stuffs has raised greatly. All

and the government has notified burg
hers to be ready for active service in
case of emergency.

The Gentlemen who VIII Investigate
the Venezuela Dispute.
Washington, Jan. 8. = President
Cleveland today announced the ap-
pointment Of the Venezuela boundary
commission as follows:
David J. Brewer, of Ka nsas, asso.
ciate justice of the United States su-
preme court; Richard II. Alvey, of
Maryland. chief justice Of the court Of
appeals Of the District of Columbia;
Andrew D. White, of New York;
Frederic r. Coudert, of New York,
and Daniel G. Gilman, of Maryland.
. The commission is regarded here,
among those who had an opportunity
to sec the list Of names after they were
made public, as very satisfactory
one, whose opinions and conclusions
will be received by the American pub
lilo with that confidence which the
members of the commission in the pub
lic eye inspires.
Brewer and White are Republicans
and Alvey and Coudert Democrats
while Gilman has never figured promi
nently in politics. At the Whit'
House II is stated that he has no poll
tics, but his proclivities are understood
to be Republican. Thus both parties
it will be seen, are equally represented
on the commission, with the fifth mem

NO DOUBT OF AN ISSUE
A Contract With a Bond Syn.
dicate Agreed Upon.
PREPARED FOR ANY EMERGENCY
The Amount Fixed at One Hundred
Millions and the Terms More Fs-
vorable to the Government.

Washington, Jan. 2.-There is now
nc reasonable doubt that bond issue
has been agreed upon, and that the de-
tails Of contract with syndicate Of
which J. Pierpont Morgan is the head
have been arranged; also that nothing
remains to be done to carry it into
effect except for the secretary to sign
his name thereto. Thus the president
is prepared for any emergency and
there is no doubt that should heavy
Withdrawals Of gold for export set in
again another issue would be an
nounced. The fact that there have
been no Withdrawals for export within
the last several days although sterling
exchange has ruled at or above the
shipping point, gives credence to an
opinion held in treasury circles that
the market has already begun to feel
the syndicate's influence against ex-
ports. The amount Of the next Issue
II Is almost certain has been fixed at
500, 900, 900, and it is believed the
terms of the contract are rather more
favorable to the government than those
under which the last issue was made.
In this connection it is recalled that be-
tween August 81, 1865, the date upon
which the national debt reached its
highest point, and March 1, 1898, the
amount Of the governments outstand-
ing obligations was reduced 1881,
$50, 1878. To accomplish this reduction
bonds were purchased to the amount
Of $77O, 800, 750. Of this amount
1924, $50, 800 were purchased prior to
1879, and $446, 459, 450 since that date.

THE TREeIzoNp MASSACRE.
Another Story as to the Cause Of the

Another Story as to the Cause Of the
Awful Slaughter.
New York, Jan. "A letter from
Trebizond, giving the testimony Of an
eye witness states:
"Bahiri Pasha, governor Of Van,
started to come to Constantinople and
it was learned that he was bringing
with him four Of the fairest young
maidens Of Sassoun who had been
spared in the massacres, to make an ac-
eeptable present Of them to the sultan.
This aroused the Armenian people Of
Trebizond to frenzy, and as itwas inn
possible to resist, the more daring Of
the young men fred upon Bahiri Pasha
when he was going about the city
wounding him. After he was cured
he carried out his internal mission to
Constantinople and was honored with
the highest decoration and appointed
governor Of Adana, in spite Of the
nerveless protest of the ambassadors.
Afterward the pasha of Trebizond de-
manded the offenders. But they could
not be found.
"The pasha has already begun to
communicate with the sultan by tele-
graph, and, calling to the commanders
Of the soldiers, ordered them to be
ready at 5 o'clock. When the maids
had arrived and the people went to-
ward the post, both the soldiers and the
mob rushed upon them. Men and
women were torn and murdered and
the groans of the dying could be heard
everywhere. 1t is the most awful Of
the massacres.
News from Diarbekir report unut-
terable suffering among those well-to-
do a short time ago. The same in
formation comes from Guerin, where
not an Armenian house has been left
standing where large community was
to be seen only a few weeks ago.
From every part Of Armenia comes
the call to Armenians who are out OF
the country, begging that money be
sent to the survivors of their families
without delay, as they have neither
food nor fuel, and scarcely any cloth
ing. No men are allowed to travel
from city or village. That which
brings most grief to the Armenians ID
that numbers of young maidens were
taken to the harems of the Kurds and
Turks"

FATE OF THE ELwooD.

The News Of Ber Wreck In Alaska
Waters Received.
Seattle, Jan. 3.--The schooner FL
wood, Captain e. e. Wyman, is total
wreck In Alaska. II is the worst
story Of shipwreck TO reach Seattle for
q year. One sailor was drowned and
the remainder of the crew only reached
shore after one Of the bravest fights
against the elements that has been re-
corded in the annals Of the Northwest
coast.
The steamship Topeka, arriving this
forenoon from the North, brought the
first news Of the disaster. Captain
wyman and four sailors came down
on the Topeka, while the others re-
manned in Alaska.
The Elwood left Seattle September
IL for Kodiak and Cooks inlet. The
vessel struck at Gardiner's point dur
ing q gale at O'Clock in the morning,
two months after leaving Seattle, and
began breaking up Immediately. The
crew made desperate effort to reach
shore, avoiding the reefs. jutting rocks
and wild breakers.
The first boat let down was smashed,
and the second boat was worked away
and swamped. Adrian +. Gorton, q
Swedish sailor, was washed away and
drowned. One seaman started to swim
ashore and was about to give up when
he seized a piece Of wreckage and
reached shore. The captain and resi-
of the crew finally reached shore by
clinging to the wreckage. The story
OF hardship and peril is heartrendins
one.
