HAWAII LOOKS TO ENGLAND.
somerneS Writes to States to that
Effect.


NEW YORK, May ga special dis
patch to the Press from Boston says:
Private letters received in Boston tonight
from Honolulu tell of supposed move-
ment to turn Hawaii over to Great Brit
ain.
The story is: The visit of S. M Damon
and Major Iaukea to London has other
significance than the bearing of the con-
gratulations of the Hawaiian Govern
ment on the occasion of the Queens jubi-
lee. 1t seems to be undisguised fact
that the movements at the United States
capital at Washington in connection
with the sugar schedule of the tariff bill
are intended to abrogate the Hawaiian
reciprocity treaty, and the greatest con-
sternation is felt in the Islands. The out
come of this agitation for the practical
If not actual, abrogation of the treaty
has interest not wholly devoid of mean
ing and the Hawaiian Government has
for weeks past maintained careful and in
telligent agents near the seat of the AM
erican Government
The actions of the United States Of
ficials noted closely, and it is now
stated that the true mission of Minister
Damon and Major Iaukea to London is, in
the event of the success of the attempts
to overthrow reciprocity, to proceed at
once to the negotiation of a treaty of
cession of the Hawaiian Islands to Great
Britain. No step toward this end will he
made unless the abrogation of the rect
prOcity treaty should become a fixed fact

FIRE AT FACTORYVILLE
The Barn of Horace Seamans Totally
Destroyed--Live stock Saved.
Coming Foot Ball Contests--An-
drew Rogers Datches a 'POssum.

Considerable excitement was caused
among our townspeople last Tuesday
night at II o'clock by the alarm of fire,
which proved to be the large barn and
silo of Horace Seamans, which was
situated just over the borough line and
in La Plume borough. How the fire
originated seems to be a puzzle, as the
flames were first discovered in the roof
of the barn. The firemen were power
less, as there are no plugs near enough
to reach the fire. The barn and it's
contents, consisting of the seasons
crops, were totally destroyed. The
live stock was rescued.
Next Saturday afternoon at $3.50 Key
stone foot ball team will meet the st.
Thomas college team on the keystone
grounds. This will be another hotly
contested game, as both teams are con-
fident, but there is no question but
what the Keystones will maintain their
reputation and administer an humili-
ating defeat.

The disease seems to be of milder

THE MARKETS.
WaII StreetIyeyIew

New York, Oct. 27.-The stock mar
ket looked strong for a time today and
the level of prices soon after noon rose
a point or over above last nights close
in many stocks. But a renewal of re-
ports that the Spanish reply to the
representations of this government
was of tenor that threatened trouble
caused the market to sell off to point
as much below last nights level as 1t
had been above in the morning. This
represented a very wide range in the
fluctuations, extending to points in
Consolidated Gas and about two points
or over in Union Pacific, Sugar, Pacific
Mail and several other stocks, and over
point for nearly all stocks. Union
Pacific continued to absorb a large
share of speculative interest and fell
during the day to within Is of the low
point of Monday when the govern
ments announced intention to postpone
the foreclosure sales was regarded as
threatening a collapse of the whole re-
organization plan. Total sales We're

A STORY OF STANLEY.
His Second Proposal to Miss Dorothy
Tenant Successful.

A pretty story of how Henry NJ.
Stanley wooed and won Mis- Dorothy
Tenant, though coming to us from
private sources, has been made suf-
ficiently public to avert the charge Of
undue personality Miss Tenant, it
is well known, was the original of Sir
John Millais' famous picture, Yes or
Mo-" 1t seems that Stanley had asked
the question and the reply was NO"
The great explorer went to Africa
again, and after several years returned
to London to find himself the most
talked-of man of the day.
The thought of Miss Tenant was
still uppermost in his mind, and he
resolved that his first visit should be
to her home. In his impatience for the
morrow he turned over the cards and
notes with which the table was strewn,
and, selecting one haphazard, decided
to while away the time by attending
a certain reception.
The first person he met there was
Miss Tenant. They greeted each other
formally, but later in the evening STAN
ley retired to a small anteroom, to find
that Miss Tennant had likewise sought
solitude. a somewhat embarrassing
silence ensued, broken by the woman
saying, like one making conversa-
tom"
"Do you find Londin much changed,
Mr.. Stanley"
MOL haven't found London changed,
and I've not changed either" returned
the explorer, with his usual intrepid
ity. "HaVe you?"
Yes, I've changed" answered Miss
Tenant, softly.
a few days later ATillais received a
note from his former subject. begin

My Dear Sir John: The momentous
question has been at last decided. 1t
is a joyful and triumphant 'Yes!"
