tIeman of this city sends me the state
 ment of what occurred few days ago
 among the mines of British Columbia.
 It seems that Frank Conson and Jem
 Smith were down in the narrow shaft
 of mine. They had loaded an iron
 bucket with coal and Jim Hemsworth, standing above ground, was hauling the bucket up by windlass, when the windlass broke, and the loaded bucket
 was descending upon the two miners. Then Jim Hemsworth, seeing what
 must be certain death to the miners be-
 meath, threw himself against the cogs
 of the whirling windlass, and, though
 his flesh was torn and his bones were broken, he stopped the whirling wind
 lass and arrested the descending bucket and saved the lives of the two miners
 beneath. The superintendent of the
 mine flew to the rescue and blocked the
 machinery. When Jim Hemsworth' 8
 bleeding and broken body was put on a litter and carried homeward and some
 one exclaimed, "Jim, this is awfulP' he replied, "Oh, what's the difference
 so long as l saved the boys?"
 What an illustration it was of suffer- ing for others, and what a text from
 which to illustrate the behavior of our Christ, limping and lacerated and bro
 ken and torn and crushed in the work of
 stopping the descending ruin that would
 have destroyed our souls! Try such a
 scene of vicarious suffering as this on that man capable of overthrowing all
 your arguments for the truth, and he
 will sit down and weep. Draw your il-
 lustrations from the classics, and it is
 to him an old story, but Leyden jars
 and electric batteries and telescopes and
 Greek drama will all surrender to the
 story of Jim Hemsworth's "Oh, what s the difference so long as 1 saved the
 boys?"
 The Debt Paid.
 Then, if your Illustration of Christ's i self sacrifice, drawn from some scene of
 today, and your story of what Christ has done for you do not quite fetch him
 into the right way, just say to him, | ''Professor-doctor-judge, why was it l that Paul declared he was a debtor to the Greeks!' And ask your learned | friend to take his Greek Testament and ] translate for you, in his own way, from
 Greek into English, the splendid perora- | tion of Paul's sermon on Mars hill, un- | der the power of which the scholarly | Dionysius rrendered--namely, ''The
 times of this ignorance God winked at, but now commandeth all men every | where to repent, because he hath ap- pointed day il which he will judge I the world in righteousness, by that man ! whom he hath ordained, whereof be
 hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. ' By the time he has got through the ] translation from the Greek 1 think you will see his lip tremble, and there will come pallor on his face like the pallor on the sky at daybreak. By the eternal l salvation of that scholar, that great
 thinker, that splendid man, you will
 have done something to help pay your | indebtedness to the Greeks. And now to God the Father, God the Son and God i the Holy Ghost be honor asd glory and dominion and victory and song, world | without end Amen.

ADMIRAL BEARDSlEE
Says Majority of Hawaiians Are in Favor of
 Annexation.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Admiral Beards- lee who has been in comma nd of the Pa ciffc station for three years past returned to Washington today and called upon Secretaries Long and Sherman. With the latter he went ito the White House and called upon President Mckinley. The admiral in a short time will make an inlfoIgla1 report to Secretary Long, giving his views and opinoins of the Hawaiian situaton and such information as he has gained during his long stay at the islands. The administration Is anxious to have a general review of the condition of the islands from such an experienced and intelligent source as Admiral BSardslee. Speaking of the re- ported opposition to annexation, the ad- miral said today that 1t amounted to lit- tle. The subS;ia niial business interests of the islands, with few exceptions, he says, flavor annexation. These excep- tions may be able to work up some op- position among the natives, but nothing of any consequence, in his opinion, can come of t. The interest of some per sons in annexation is apathetc, but they accept it as the best horn of dilemna.

 Washington, Oct. 1.--It looks like war with Spain must come. Senator- elect Money, the best congressional au- thority on foreign affairs in Washington at present, says it must come sooner or later, and the earlier the better
 I only wish Spain would send a fleet over to Cuba" said he in an interview published here this morning.
 T wish, too, that France or some other country might join in with her to protect the island. France has some islands we need, and which we would take if she attempted to interfere on be- half of Spain.
 q would hate to see Austria take any part, because Austria has nothing we would have or which Is worth taking. But some of these other countries have. There is no danger of England taking the side of Spain in any trouble which we might have with Spain. She knows it would be a losing game
 Col. Money really expects to see trou- ble over the island this winter. He does not believe that congress can be held in check. "The crisis is sure to coms soon, and the sooner the better in my opinion he said.
 You might as we'll try to stop the Ni- agara from falling as to check the spirit of the American people now. The march of a great nation and the progress of a great people cannot be ch. cked by cries from conservatives.
 q was never an enthusiast about Ha. waii, but we could no more prevent the annexation of that island than those in the time of Polk could have prevented the annexation of Texas.
 "The progress of people who have got the start of this majestic world, as we have, pays no attention to anything be- yond what seems d .stiny to continue to grow and expand
 "A man might as well say that he will not buy another suit of clothes when he has outgrown an old one, as for people of a certain conservative stripe to try and prevent this country from reaching out after more territory.
 we had just as well face this spirit and watch it run it's course. We can't check it; but we can guide it. That is the most we can do now. The spirit of possession is on the American people. We have got the fever and it has got to have a way out.
 T have not be'=n studying the situation of our foreign affairs for nothing for the past twelve months. The adminissra- tion is as powerless to check this Cuban fever as 1t would be to salt the great lakss.
 These are my opinions. They may be wrong, but they are my opinions nev- ertheleSS"

ACOSTA SAFE AT VERA CRUZ
The lnsurgent General, After Be-
 ing Seriously Wounded,
MAKES GOOD HIS ESCAPE
Report of Capture of Americans and nsurgent Munition Exploded -Cubans Are in
 Better Shape Than Ever.

New York, Oct. IA New York mer- chant who has extensive business in terests in Cuba and is kept informed of the progress of the insurrection by trustworthy correspondents in different parts of the island received word today that Col. Baldermero Acosta of the in surgsnt army, has safely landed in Vera Cruz. He is seriously wounded. His wife is with him. According to thls mer- chants correspondence the insurgent colonel was enabEed to escape with the connivance of Spanish officers. The correspondent also states that the recent ly reported capture of a Hotchkiss gun, g. lot of war material and twenty-three Americans was founded on these facts:
 A Spanish gunner, who had been with the insurgents in Tampa, Fla, turned out to be a. spy He informed the mili- tary of the location of the place where the Cubans had buried 12-pound HotoLhlaiss gun, which had been landed in Pinar del Rio about ten months ago. It had never been dug up because in landing it had been so injured aus to be rendered useless. On the finding of this abandoned gun was based the official re- port of the capture of the valuable war munitions and the American volunteers.
 The correspondent concludes by say ing that the insurgents were never stronger than they are today from the extreme east to the extreme west.

THE UNION PACIFIC CASE.
Comes in For a Great Deal of Discus
 sion.
THE SPANISH CABINET CRISIS
Talked Over and No Anticipation of Trouble Decided Upon--Sagasta Minority Will Be Favorable --Beardie's Re-
 port Is Satisfactory

Washington, Oct. 1.-The first meeting of the cabinet since the return of the president from Massachusetts was held today, and was attended by every mem- in Washington. The meeting lasted longer than usual in explanation of which fact it was said that several of the cab inst members were present for the first time in many weeks and naturally thay sought the opportunity to inform them eslves fully upon the condition of af- fairs. Foreign affairs occupied the greater portion of the time given up to discussion though the prosecution of the governments case against the Union Pacific railroad also came in for a great deal of discussion. It is said that the only action of the cabinet today was in the direction of closing up this issue and it can be stated that the details of the plans of the government have been ar ranged at last.
 The Spanish cabinet crisis attracted much attention and was discussed at some length. For some reason Minister Woodford has sill left his government officially unadvised of the recent hap penings in Madrid and nothing has been heard from him since his interview with the Duke of Tetuan, the. Spanish min isteIr for foreign affairs in the last cab inet. This fact compelled a reliance upon the newspaper reports of the re cent events in Spain. It may be said that there seems to be a general belief among the members of the presidents official family that the Madrid crisis, df not making for our good, cannot be ex- pected to injure our relations with Spain. This belief is based upon the idea that if a conservative cabinet succeeds to the Nicaragua ministry the worst that can happen will be a continuation of the present line of policy for Spain is too near an end of her financial resources to put forth more strenuous efforts to subdue the Cubans. On the other hand it is believed that liberal ministry will almost certainly offer good oppo- tunities for bringing the present war to an end
 The conditions in Hawaii as revealed by Admiral Bsardslee were talked of and with evident satisfaction the cabinet received the admirals statement that in all of his stay in Hawaiian waters his relations with the Japanese officials on shore and on the cruiser Nanawa we're of the most pleasant nature. In no case had there been the slightest ex- hibition of a purpose on ths part of the Japanese commander to attempt any coup and there were constant exchanges of visits between the officers of the Man. ava and of the United States warships while the admiral remained in port.
