CONSUL GENERAL.
New Representative of Great Brit

New Representative OF Great Brit
ain Comes From Formosa.
Thos. Rain Walker has informed the
Foreign Office that the British Govern
ment has named a new consul general
for Hawaii to succeed the late Capt.
A. G. S. Halves. Mr.. Walker has been
acting temporarily.
w. T. Kenny is the new man and he
will be a stranger here. He was ap-
pointed to the civil service in 1880 and
since that time has served in Japan,
his last post having been at Tainin,
Formosa. Mr. Walker rather expects
the new consul general on the 10Th
inst.
The appointment to Hawaii at least
marks Mr.. Kenny as a man of merit.
He receives promotion. The present
post does not begin to equal Hawaii
either in importance or salary.

AFTER NEW TENDERS.
The Royal Arcanum Council Adopts
New Plan.

The grand council for Minnesota of
the Royal Arcanum has offered prize
of $50 to the subordinate council
which shall secure the greatest num-
Der of new members before March
lst, 1898. Mankato council No. 1920
has been considering for couple of
meetings the ACCESSIBILITY Of going
after the prize. Last night it voted
to go after new members, lndepend-
emily of the prize contest, but to have
contest within the council, to con-
tinue until April 1st. To this end it
was voted to decide the council men,
bership into two equal parts, under
the leadership of the regent and vice
regent respectively, and the side which
procures the least number of new
members within the time stated is to
arrange for and meet the expense OF a
smoke social for the entire council. Ii
is believed that this will be the means
of arousing a great deal OF interest
among the members during the win
ter, and also of increasing the men,
bership of the council materially.
The council now numbers SiXJy-twO
members, and lodge made up Of bet
ter material it would be difficult TO
| find. Care is to be taken that the
character of the membership does not
deteriorate through new acquisitions.
To those who desire life insurance
and the benefits of fraternal order
of long standing, the Royal Arcanum
offers superior inducements.
The names of the members were
placed in hat and shaken up, and
were then drawn one at time by the
regent and vice regent, and the lodge
was divided as follows:

ditions, he thought, the law prohibit
ing the shipping of fish outside the
state was wise, for if not prohibited
the lakes would soon be depopulated.
But with artificial cultivation on suf-
ficlent scale, and the stocking Of the
lakes and streams, annually as they
should be, and large number of fry
put in at a time, there would be an
abundance of fish at all times in our
waters. The hatcheries are not ex-
pensive, are easily maintained, and If
the business was followed up in a
practical way it would not be long be-
fore the lakes of the state would be as
valuable as are it's wheat fields. The
salmon industry on the Pacific coast
is 10 aintained in this manner and is
worth thousands of dollars annually
to that section.
An interesting discussion followed,
which was opened by H. L. Schmitt,
who endorsed the suggestions Of the
paper, and then criticised the present
methods of handling the matter, and
said that it seemed to him that the
present method of attempted protec-
tion was good deal of failure. In
reply to questions, Prof Cox spoke
further Of the habits of fish and the
possibilities of building up a success
full business in raising them for the
market if followed along business
principles and in systematic man
ner. The great trouble in stocking
lakes and streams, he said, was in the
fact that they were not stocked often
enough and not enough fry put in at
time in most instances.

SCHUETTE'S GALLANTRY.
Saved His Superior Officer From
Capture or Death.
Captured Eleven Men in Bottle and
Is Now HonOred.

Officer Theodore Schuette has re-
ceived solid gold medal held by
black ribbon, from the German gov
eminent, as mark Of appreciation
of distinguished services rendered in
battle. Mr.. Schultz belonged to the
Fifth Prussian Uhlans, a regiment Of
cavalry provided with swords and
spears. During the war with Aus
tria, fierce battle was taught at
Konig-Kratz, July 4th, 1866. Mr..
Schuette's regiment made charge,
and lieutenant In his company rode
his horse too far in advance and was
surrounded by eleven Austrian
cavalrymen, who endeaVored to take
him prisoner. The lieutenant fought
them with his sword, but was nearly
overpowered, when Mr.. Schuette saw
his plight and galIoped his horse into
the thrOng and assisted his superior
officer. The two were such good
swordsmen and strong men that they
vanquished the eleven, giving some of
them bad wounds. The others sur
rendered to them and all eleven
were taken back as prisoners.
Mr.. Schuette came to Amarica in
1868, and all trace of him was lost un-
til short time ago, when he had
occasion to send a letter to some Of
fetal in the old country in regard to
! some land. BY means Of this letter,
the German consul at Chicago traced
him, and the medal was forwarded.
Its receipt was total surprise to Mr..
Schuette, who had not been notified
that he was to receive any reward for
his gallantry. He was exhibiting it
yesterday to his friends with just
pride. Accompanying the medal was
letter from the consul, explaining
that Mr.. Schuettes Whereabouts had
been unknown or he would have re-
ceived the medal before.
The medal bears inscriptions
giving the date and place of the bat
tie, and the German words: "God is
with u.s." 1--WE win the fight for
honor" and 'Prussians win the
fight" The medal would give MI.
Schuette some privileges if he were
in the old couDtry.

FISH CULTURE.
Prof. U. o. Cox Speaks of its Posi-
biIitieS in minnesota.

At the Social Science club Tuesday
evening, Prof. Q. o Cox read paper on
"Fish Culture and it's Application to
Minnesota" The first part of his pa
per was devoted to the methods of
propagation, and showing the adyan-
tage of artificial means over natural
methods. While fish Matching is an
old industry, he said it was not until
1871 that it was undertaken in an i'm
portant way in the United States.
The increase in population and i'm
provement in shipping facilities
caused the demand to increase more
rapidly than the fish developed under
natural conditions. He explained the
methods of artificial hatching and
said by following it nearly all of the
eggs would hatch, while under natural
conditions only small portion. The
eggs of certain species of fish fall
apart, and those are handled in a
hatchery. Those species whose eggs
adhere to each other in mass so that
they cannot be separated, are propa-
gated in small ponds, from which all
other species of fish have been remov-
ed. In the hatchery the eggs are
placed on screens and put in the bot
tom of long trough through which
pure cold water is continually run
ming.
To show the rapid manner in which
fish multiply, Prof. Cox said that, "In
May, 1892, fifteen black bass were
placed in one of the U. S. Fish Com
mission ponds at Washington. In
May and June the seven or eight fe-
males spawned In November, less
than seven months after the fish were
put in, the pond was drained and from
it was taken not less than 81, 900 young
bass Of about four inches in length,
and about 500 more that averaged one
half pound apiece" Turning to the
application of fish culture to Mime
sofa, Prof. Cox said he did not see why
there was not great field tor 1t here.
The state has thousands of acres of
lakes and streams which are most
suitable for fish culture. He believed
it was possible to farm this vast ex-
tent of water, and make it produce
sustenance for man, and a large
revenue for our people. To the south
| of us lies a vast area of country that
raises very few fish so market is at
hand near home. Under presen con.

w. B. Davies, local agent of the
Endowment Rank, Knights of Pyth-
las, has received letter from the
board of control, denying statements
that have within few days been pub
lished in some papers, calculated to
involve the endowment rank in what
has been termed the Lexington Hotel
failure. Sensational reports have ap-
peared, alleging that Investment Of
the endowment rank aggregated
$4,000, 900, which might prove to be a
total loss" The board pronounces
these statements "maliciously false
and wholly misleading" The invest
ment referred to represents first
mortgage six per cent. gold bonds of
the par value of 1892, 500 issued by the
hotel company, and is an unqualified
first lien on building known as the
Lexington Hotel, erected in 1893 at a
cost of over 100000, the first mort
gage bond issue being $350.000. The
average CUSU VI UlC JULIUS w Uuc ldu n
was SO cents, representing an outlay
of SI79, OOO There is second bond
issue of 100000, but the rank owns
none of these. Offers have been made
for the hotel property amounting to
the entire issue of the first and Sec
ond mortgage bonds. The board says
that all of the investments of the en-
dowment rank are of the very best,
amply and properly secured.
