A MODIFIED MONARCHY.
That is the Hope of the EX-Queen and
Princess Kaiulani.

Colonel George W. Macfarlane, who
Liliuokalani during her stay in San
Francisco. insists that the eX-Queen
has practically abandoned all hope of
being reinstated on the throne of
Hawaii.
"The Princess Kaiulani, niece of the
Queen, will arrive from England with
in few weeks" stated Colonel Mae
farlane last week, land her visit win
probably result in some amicable un-
derstanding between herself and the
Queen whereby the proposed anneXa-
tion of the Islands may be successful
ly opposed and the Princess placed
upon the throne.
"Princess Kaiulani, as you must
know, has been abroad for nine or
ten years, and has not seen the Queen
during the entire time. She was not
more than II years of age when she
was taken abroad for an education.
She was at that time heir apparent to
the throne of Hawaii, and it was then
deemed proper that she should be Civ
en- an education commensurate with
her position. She is now of age, and
has completed her education, but in
returning home she finds that new po-
litical conditions in the Islands leaves
her with modified fortunes. Blaming
| the Queen for the overthrow of the
monarchy, the best of feeling does not
| exist between the Princess and her
aunt. 1t is likely however that these
differences will be healed when the
Princess and the Queen meet, and that
they will in all probability join forces
in opposing the annexation of the Is.
lands. The Princess with the backing
of her guardian, II. II. Davies, is in Il
position to engage the best legal coun.
sci in the land to represent her inter
ests before Congress when the annex
| alton treaty comes up for approval
and this she will probably do.
"The situation as it now stands is
something like this: There is no Ger,
tainty that the islands will be annex
ed, and should annexation fail, it is
not altogether improbable that the
Republic of Hawaii, called into exist
ence, according to the statements OF
those who are at the head of the gov
ernment, for the sole purpose of bring
ing about the annexation of the Is.
lands to the United States, will agree
to modified monarchy with Princess
| Kaiulani on the throne. The Queen
will be provided for so that she may
retire with dignity and maintain re
| spectacle position among her people
| This is the plan that will be agreed
| upon between the Queen and Princess
and may be brought to a realization
if annexation is defeated"

TREATY SAFE.

NEW YORK, September 12.-It is
believed in Administration circles that
the effect OF the ratification of the
treaty by the Hawaiian Senate will be
to influence some of the members oi
the United States Senate now in the
doubtful column to vote for the con
vention at the next session. All that
is now necessary is the approval OF
that body, and it is not believed that
many members will be wlning TO now
shoulder the responsibility of defeat
ing annexation, and thus throw Ha,
wall into the hands of Japan.

GERMANY CHECKED.
Russo-French Military Convention has
Two Articles Added.

LONDON, September 16.-The raris
correspondent of the Daily News says:

stadt toast during the recent visit of
NJ. Faure to St. Petersburg), the
Franco-Russian military convention
already existing was amended. Two
articles were added and protocol ar
ranged on eastern affairs.
The original convention gave France
security against German invasion in
return for French support of Russia
in the Levant, and, in certain contin-
gencies naval assistance in the Bal
tic. Under the amended convention,
if France should be attacked Russia
will consider the treaty of Frankfort

The French government clinched
nothing until the Prince of Naples at

niversary of the fall of Sedan. The
advantage of the convention and Of
the protocol is that they do not come

AN EXCITING RACE.
The Kid Crew of the Myrtles Win Over
the Leilanis'.

The Leilani oarsmen were defeated
yesterday afternoon in the six cared
sliding barge race by scrub crew of
the Myrtle Boat club. The result of
the race was a surprise to many as it
was generally believed that the train
ing which the Leilani boys had receiv-
ed in preparation for the champion
ship and Regatta Day races, gave
them a considerable advantage over
the Myrtle boys, all of whom went in
to the race without any training eX-
cept the stroke, Will Damon.
The Leilanis' took the lead and held
it past the light house going out. The
Myrtles gained this position at the
second bell buoy and held it until the
finish, winning over their opponents
by about one and one-half boat
lengths. The time was: Myrtle,
12: 50R; Leilani, 12:53%.
VIII Love was coXswain for the
Myrtles. Damon was stroke, King,

above sea level. Utah has 56 peaks
more than 10, 600 feet high; Wyoming
has A; California, 40; New Mexico,
80; Nevada 27, and several other west
ern states are well supplied. Our new
territory of Alaska has not yet been
sufficiently explored to determine just
how many cloud capped SUBMITS the
interior may contain, but there is
! Mount ST. Elias, which is believed to
be 10, 900 feet above the sea and which

American mountain climbers, how
ever, can learn much to their advantage
by a season S experience i'll Switzerland
where the sport has been reduced to a
science. Take the ascent of Mont Blanc,
for instance. This is the highest peak
of the Alps, yet its summit is only l5,
ISL feet above the sea. Still it presents
many attractions TO mountain climbers,
and the base being easily reached from
all parts of Europe, it is not surprising
that the ascent is made by scores of per-
sons each year. The mountain is within
French territory, and rigid rules are
enforced to guard against useless loss
of life.
In the first place, no traveller is al
lowed TO make the ascent without
guides, the number and fees being regu-
lated by the French government The
guides are regularly employed govern
meut officials, and the fees are paid to
the proper agents. When party Of
tourists prepare to ascend the mountain,
they must present themselves before the
proper officials, who assign them guides
! and fix date for the attempt. Their
equipment must be up to certain stand
ard. Strongly made shoes with thick
soles studded with steel nails, alpen-
stocks of peculiar pattern, ropes and
other necessary implements have to pass

A very few adventurous spirits have
made the ascent alone, stealthily leav-
ing Chamouni long before daylight and

cleared from Antwerp recently. There are
23 men on board, of whom II are Belgians,
some Of them being noted scientists. The
remaining seven are Norwegian sailors.
The Belgica was built for the whaling
trade in 1884, and of course Is a substan-
tial craft but she was further strengthen
ed before her departure and otherwise
equipped to dare the dangers of the un-
known southern seas
For centuries the south polar region has
been surrounded by an impenetrable veil
Of mystery, partly owing to its natural
features and partly because of the lack of
we'll organized and persistent efforts of ex-
plorers, such as have been expended on the
arctic regions. Thus far no man has
ever passed winter on the south polar
continent, but Captain de Gorlaohe pro-
poses to do this. He expects to make q
landing near Cape Adare on South Vic
toria Land in the vicinity of tho supposed
location Of the magnetic pole. A portable
house and provisions will be put on shore,
and the intrepid Belgian, with Lieutenant
Danoo and q selected number of mon, will
be left while the ship sails back TO Mel
bourne for supplies, to return as soon as
possible the next season and pick up the
little band
During the long antarctic winter Cap
tain de Gerlache will mako inland expedi-
tions over the ice cap, If practicable, and
1t Is possible that he may reach the south
pole. At any rate he intends to make OBJ
servations and surveys which will be Of
great scientific interest and add to the
meager knowledge of that part of the
worlds surface. For this purpose sledges
and ski have been taken along, but as no
one can say what extraordinary weather
conditions tho explorers will have TO en-
counter the success of their venture can
only be hoped for.
1t is expected that the Belgica will reach
the antarctic seas early in October, at the
beginning Of the south polar spring. She
will try to force her way through the for
midable ice barrier which all explorers in
that locality have encountered If she
does, the coast will be skirted between
points which arc now represented 10y geog
raphers only by dotted lines. 1t is not
probable that the results of the expedition
will be known before two years hence.

ed the extreme northwestern outpost Of
the British government. There he was
told that the surrounding natives were
so fierce and treaCherous that it would
be suicide to 60 among them. But Mr..
Duncan had been sent there for that
purpose, and he did not intend to give
up. In spite of great difficulties he
managed to learn the native dialect,
and then he went boldly into their
camps. He arrived in time to witness a
human sacrifice by one Of the chiefs.
During the next few years his life was
threatened many times, but he always
managed to escape through skillful di-
plomaCy.
Little by little Father Duncan taught
the Indians useful arts, until finally he
won their respect and confidence Then
he began to teach them the principles
of Christianity and induced them to
abandon some Of their cruel practices.
For years he battled against the inherit
cd superstition Of many generations,
risking his life each time he attacked
new custom. Finally he persuaded
about 800 of the Indians to leave the
tribe and lead q Christian life. He
founded a little village, established
such industries as salmon canning and
lumber making and trained them in
habits of industry, cleanliness and god
illness. Under his direction the Tsim-
sheans built themselves comfortable
houses, their children went to school
and the men abandoned the warpath.
Eathnr
can went to Ottawa and asked the gov
ernor general to set aside a reservation
for the tribe that they might remain
there undisturbed That high official
readily promised to grant the request,
but the promise was never fulfilled.
Then in 1887 Father Duncan applied to
the United States. Congress awarded
him Annette island, lying off the Alas
kan coast near the southerly end of the
territory One year later Father Duncan
and his tribe moved to the island and
founded the town of Metlakhatla.
Here an extensive salmon oannery
was erected, in which 200 natives are
now employed. Last year they shipped
$4,000 cases of salmon. A large lumber
mill is also operated by the natives.
The town also has an electric light
plant. Scattered through the town are
six stores, church and handsome
schoolhouse Substantial board side
walks line the we'll graded streets, and
the Indian families live in neat frame
houses, each set in the center of good
sized lot and surrounded by flower and
vegetable gardens. Neither liquors nor
tobacco are sold in the town, for the In
dams do not use them. Father Duncan
still breaches every Sunday in spite of
his more than 20 years. Metlakhatla is
one Of the most interesting towns in
Alaska and should be visited by every
tourist who goes to the land of gold.

He accomplished what he set out to do, for
when workmen recently attempted to tear
down the structure 1t defled their pickaxes
as II 1t had been solid granite and was
only razed by liberal use of dynamite.
Half a century ago Professor Fowler
was well known throughout the eastern
states as a speculative and experimen tai
phrenologist possessed of no little inventive
genius. He accumulated fortune Of con-
Siderable size and in lS47 PURCHASED near
Fishkill Landing an estate of 1873 acres.
The grounds he improved and beautilled
in many ways, planting many fruit trees,
berry bushes, shrubs and flowers. Then
he went to firm of New York architects
and engaged them to draw plans for a
house under his special direction. He
wanted an octcgonal house and he wanted
it built Of concrete So it was done.
From the time when the eight sided struc-
ture began to rise from the foundations to
the day of its final demolition 1t was an
object Of curiosity and comment. People
called 1t "Fowler's Castle" and Fowler 6
Folly" and Travelled miles to see It, 1t

and cupola. There were 80 rooms in
the house, although IL did not appear to
be so large at first glance.
But Professor Fowler was immensely
pleased with the house and for ten years
lived in 1t with his family. Then, owing
to financial reverses, 1t passed out OF his
hands and was successfully used as an
academy, us boarding house and as an
abode for such tenants as could be per
suaded to occupy It, Professor Fowler
died ten years ago, and for long time the

Corrington, millionaire farmer of that
city, is to found for IL great university,
to be located on his estate on the outskirts
of the town, and he is to devote his entire
fortune TO the project. As Mr.. Corrington
Is estimated TO be worth nt least 81 $780,
900, the institution will have the advan-
tage of good start and the assurance Of
plenty of funds for its maintenance.
Corrinqton university-for that Is the
name by which 1t Is to be known-will be
unique in several particulars, for its found
er Is a man of original ideas, and he has
carefully prepared detailed plans accord
ing to which the institution will be cons
Quoted. Being man of very liberal views
as to religion, he intends to have bis uni
versity absolutely nonsectarian, but to free
It from any suspicion Of agnosticism he
has stipulated that education on an ethical
basis shall be the cardinal principle of the
new institution Its doors will be open TO
women as well as men.
One of the remarkable features Of the
case is that the man who Is to establish
this fountain Of knowledge himself never
had the advantages even Of the common
schools, and acquired all his education In
the log cabin which he built with his own
hands, and in the study of his modern
home, where so much of his time In recent
years has been passed. This man, who
knew no schooldays sets forth his idea Of
the now university as follows:
"The name of the said university shall
be tho Corrington institute and university
Its objects and purposes shall be to collect
and diffuse knowledge among mankind,
en- mbracing science in all its departments,
classic and modern; mathematics, astron-
omy, philosophy, geography, history, po-

les and higher criticism, and all else that
may be worth knowing, all on u pure
ethical basis, Co the end that we may have
a higher grade of instruction for the hu-
man family and that all truth and knowl-
edge may be disseminated. "
Mr.. CorrinRton has frequently consulted
prominent educators and discussed his
plans with them, but none Of their argu-
