Ia II an Ancient Alphabet

Monsieur Piette has made some re-
markable discoveries in a cave at lie
Mas-dAzil, in Southern France. near
the Pyrenees. This cave, shaped like
a tunnel, was evidently inhabited in
very ancient days by the race Of peo-
pie called the "cave-dwellers" who
lived in the Neolithic, or Later Stone.
age. They left a great number Of OBJ
long and fattened pebbles on which
they had painted curious figures and
devices with peroxide of iron. Some of
the pebbles contain only dots, or
stripes. which, the discoverer thinks,
may have been symbols for numbers.
Others bear devices having some re-
semblance to alphabetic characters.

Avan..hed Rivers Track.

Explorations made last autumn
brought to light many interesting facts
about what is known to geologists as
the "Nipisslng Mattawa River" This
Is believed to have been the ancient
outlet for the Great Lakes Huron,
Michigan and Superior before their wa
ters began to flow through Lake Erie
The old river bed was traced, in the
Canadian province Of Ontario, from
Lake Nipissing, near the northern part
of Georgian Bay, to the valley Of the
Ottawa River. At one place the site of
an ancient cataract was discovered,
and reason was found for believing
that the size Of the vanished river was
very similar to that Of the st. Clair
and Detroit Rivers, through which the
Great Lakes now have their outlet.

Guarding a Coast BY Electricity.

A correspondent of Nature suggests
that a long coast-line may be rendered
safe to ships in fOggy weather by
means of an electric cable lying ten
miles offshore, and parallel with the
coast, in about fifty fathoms Of water.
When ever an iron ship approached
within 200 yards of the cable, he says
an electric detector on board the vessel
would give the alarm In support of
the suggestion he asserts that messages
sent along an electric cable lying on the
ea-bottom have been read, with sufta-
bic appa ratus, ON a ship fioa ating above
the ca BILE.

POLICE NOTES.
What Was Learned at the Police
Station Yesterday.

Yesterday morning ChillingwOrtt
and Vida made a raid on the establish
ment of Hung Lung Kee and captured
a wash Chinaman in the last stages OF
opium intoxication. He still had hold
of his favorite pipe, and about the
room were found three horns with
small quantities of opium, some insee
and a complete outfit. The establish
ment was beautifully fixed up, as if
being the favorite haunt of rich China
men. 1t is very carefully barricaded
on all sides, and the only way the Off
GERS succeeded in effecting an entrance
was by walking straight through the
store and up the steps before any one
knew what was taking place.
The natives who play Russian war"
along the water front have been fright
ened from their usual places of gam
bling so frequently Of late that they
have thought up a new scheme. Yes
terday a whole lot of them gathered on
the large open space near the Fish
Market, recently made by the dredger,
and, seating themselves around the
cloth, began to play. They were GER
tain that any officers could be easily
spied from this place and all evidences
of guilt removed before their arrival
on the scene. In this they were right,
but they had not counted on the effects
of a panic Officers Vida and Kekai
went down about noon. The natives
saw them coming and scattered. Some
could not make their way home by
land without running into the police
officers, so they jumped into the water,
clothes and all, and swan.
In the Police Court, All Foo, captured
by Detective KAPPA, was fined $50 and
costs for having che ia tickets in his
possession. One of the exhibits offered
in evidence was a box of variously col
Ored pills, for all the world like the
anti-bilious kind. They were covered
with wax and very neatly made. In
side of each was a piece Of Chinese It's

Sylvano Nobriga, a dairyman, was
arrested Yesterday afternoon on the
charge of assault and battery, sworn
TO by August Richards, another dairy
man. The story told by the complain
ant is to the effect that, on August
10th. Nobriga tried to borrow force
pump from him. He refused to loan
and Nobriga threatened him. On the
day mentioned, he threw stones at him
while riding along in a milk wagon.
One of these struck his arm and par
alyzed him. Then Nabriga jumped IN
the back of his cart and gave him a
drubbing.

Claims of Hawaii Ignored
by Toxic Officials.
This Government Will Insist on
Rights - Settlement of Diff
Guilty Still Remote.

The matter of arbitration with Jap
an is almost as far away as before the
proposition was made by this Govern
ment. Minister Shimamura has for
warded to the Foreign Office here a
communication containing the terms
upon which his Government is willing
to arbitrate, but they are manifestly so
one-sided that it is doubtful if Hawaii
will accept.
A gentleman high in official circles
of the Government said yesterday:
"Our letters through Minister Shima-
mura are in a tone unmistakable in
intent. 1t looks as though Japan want
ed the powers to see that she is will
ing to arbitrate the immigration mat
ter, but l never in my life heard of
such details. The arbitration is to be
on lines laid down by Japan, for. prac-
tically, our claims are ignored. Bel
gium has been selected by Japan as
the arbitrator, and so far as 1 can say
now, that Government would be satis-
factory to us under proper condi
tions, but 1 feel certain that many
details will have to be arranged before
arbitration will begin.
IF we are to yield everything to Jap
an in arbitration, we might as we'll
have done so when the negotiations
were being carried on by Minister Shi-
mamura and Minister Cooper. Hawaii
cannot yield more than she has and
retain her dignity among nations. She
has consented to arbitrate, and made
the proposition to Japan, believing 1t
would be accepted in good faith, but
from the letters received, the provisos
to the acceptance are more arbitrary,
if not more numerous than the subject
matter of the letter.
''The old cry that our immigration
laws are in contravention of the
treaty is brought out in bold relief.
But you will remember that in one of
the letters received during the nego-
tiations they conceded to us the right |
to enact reasonable laws for the gov
erning of immigration, nor would they |
object to them if reasonably enforced |
''The contents of the letters cannot |
be made public until they have been |
considered by the Cabinet; then, per-
naps, the substance may be made pub |
lie through the press. [ feel confident |
hat this Government, while willing to |
have the difficulties left to arbitration,
will insist upon it's rights in the mat
ter, and will allow no one-sided ar

MR.. WAS CHOICE.
Says Portuguese From HilO North
Favor LOebenStein.

John NJ. Vivas, the Portuguese lead
er, says he will go to Hilo on the next
Kinau for the purpose of interesting
himself in the election of A. B. Loeben-
stein to the Legislature.
Il am quite sure" said Mr.. Vivas
yesterday, that l can throw to Mr..
Loebenstein the votes of all the Portu-
guese between Hilo and Hamakua.
There are 1S5 registered, and this is
sufficient to guarantee his election. l
have heard that people from Hilo
have expressed themselves as not
wanting Loebenstein, but no one seems
to know who the people are. 1 think 1
know, and l can tell you that the more
of that kind of opposition we have the
better l will be satisfied
Mr.. Loebenstein is at present the
Government surveyor for Hawaii, for
which he receives salary Of $3.50 per
month. His duties take him over a
considerable portion of the Island, par
ticularly in the Hilo District, so that
he is very we'll known to the people.
Whether he is popular enough with
them to secure his election is another
matter Mr.. Loebenstein is confident,
SO is Mr. Vivas.
1t is pretty we'll known that Mr.
is thoroughly independent
of the Government, and cares nothing
for the emOluments of his Office, and
that in view of his possible candidacy
he already contemplates resigning his
position, so that he may have full free
dom to conduct his campaign. 1t is not
believed that the Government will in
terpose any objections to the plan, as
Article 43 of the Constitution provides
that: Except members of the Coun-
Gil of State, no person holding office in,
or under, or by authority of the Gov
ernment, including notaries public and

ture or to hold the position of an elect

MARTIN ROBBED.
Some One Got in Through Win
dow of Tailor Shop.

Another robbery has been commit
ted, and this time George Martin is
the unlucky man. Some one entered
his tailoring establishment during
Wednesday night or early yesterday
morning and took from the drawer OF
the table used by Mr.. Martin as a desk,
a sum of money between three and four
hundred dollars, which had been placed
there at closing time Wednesday. The
thief got through the back windows
by shaking the iron shutters until the
bar inside became lOOsened. He
turned the table upside down, ripped
open a section of the lower part of the
drawer and abstracted the money.
This done, he must have left, for not
another thing in the whole place was
touched.
Whoever did the job was we'll ac-
quainted with what he had to do, and
must have been near when Mr.. Martin
put the money into the drawer.
Detective KAPPA is working on the
case and hopes to bring the guilty
person to justice.

CURRENCY COMMISSION.
Mckinley Desires TO Appoint All the
Members.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The friends
Of the President say that he expects
Congress TO take the first step In the
direction Of the preparation OF a scheme
OF financial reform before the close Of
the extra session by passing a bill pro
viding for a currency commission.
It Is the desire Of the President, they
say, that the bill shall provide for the
selection OF the commission by the
President and that its appointment
shall be authorized before the next
session Of Congress begins in Decem-
Der. He will have no difficulty in get
ting the bill through the House Of
Representatives whenever he wants to,
and in just the form he wants it.
There will be difficulty in the Senate,
however. The silver men in that body
placed no obstacles in the way OF the
passage OF the bill providing for the
special monetary ENJOYS who are now
abroad, though they took occasion to
express their conviction that the mis-
sion would result in complete failure.
They will not oppose the provision for
a currency commission, but thoy will
not consent to the kind Of q commits
sion wanted by the President. The
silver men in both houses will object TO
the selection Of the entire commission
by the President. They will insist that
they will not allow any hill to pass the
Senate that does not provide for the
appointment OF part Of the commission
ers by the President. part by the Sen
ate and the remainder by the House Of
Representatives. This would place IL
In the power Of the silver majority to
name advocates Of the free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver TO serve on the
commission.

Mr.. Chapman was not the only recall
cirrant witness before the senatorial
committee. Mr.. Hayemayer and Mr..
Searles, as the great men of the Sugar
Trust, we're asked to state the amounts
of the contributions made by the
Trust for political purposes. They abb
solutely refused to answer the question.
The trial for this refusal has been pos
poned, but will probably begin in June.
1t may very likely be found, as their
lawyers claim, that they cannot be pun
ished, in as much as the question they
refused to answer does not of necessity
involve the dignity and privileges Of
the United States Senate. Neyerthe-
less, we have reached the extremely
unfortunate stage in our political life

be possible under the law, for a cor

In Iowa all the silver elements have
fused, and a like coalition may take
place in OHIO, but the Republicans have
nothing tofear. Both these states, to
be sure, went Democratic in 1889, a
year after they had helped to choose a
Republican President, but their ma
jority for President Harrison, was
much smaller than the one they gave
Mckinley. The Republican lead in
1888 was $1,000 in Iowa and $4,000 in
Ohio, while it was g., 200 in Iowa and
$1,000 in Ohio in 1896. No Republican
supposes his party is going to have
anything like the plurality in these
two states this year that it had last
year, but there is a decidedly strong
probability that it will have a plurality
of some size or other.-Globe- Demo
