HAWAIIAN ANNEX,
EVERY DAMON REJ0ICBD AT THE
PROSPECT
Major Iaukea Takes A Native View OF
/ The Master, But 0onfesses That The
Natives Do Not Pay Taxes.

New York, July 1.-THE Times says:
The Hawaiian envoy, Mr., S. NJ. Da-
mon and his military attache, Major
Iakukea are still in the city. Mr.. Da-
mon said that he was in London when
he heard the news that President Nc
Kinley had sent the annexation mes
sage to Congress.
Il was delighted to hear of it," he
said, because annexation has long
been desired by us. 1 cannot speak
for the Hawaiian people as l have
been absent from Honolulu for several
months, but l am confident that the
islands rejoiced over the news"
Mr.. Damon added that he did not
think the Senate would ratify the ire
atty at this session. The English, he
est in the matter.
Major Iakukea, who is i native Ha-
waiian, spoke from a different point of
view. He said that the natives do
not wish annexation.
"They do not distTust the United
States" he said, but they are a stur-
! dy, independent, distinctive and pecul-
Tar people. They are fond of their
country and their national customs.
Their only fear is that they may lose
all that goes to make a separate peo-
pie and that they may be merged into
another race or a composite of races.
They were fond of the old monarchy
that endured so long in ils patriarchial
state, and they dread the inevitable
changes that will follow annexation.
think they would have been willing for
the change if it had come gradually
and at their own volition.
However, the natives are now only
minority in Hawaii. OF 10000 pop
ulation, only 10000 are natives and of
this latter number 5000 are what are
known as half-castes. The tax payers
in Hawaii are not Hawailans. The ma
tives have lost control of their own

grief of having their nationality merg-

He was the Father Of Eleven National
Banks.
New York, July 1.-THE Herald says:
Judgment for $780, 52 has been entered
against williams Stebbins, retired
banker, in favor of the National bank
of the Republic.
The judgment covers the amount due
on a note which Mr. Stebbins made
May 8, 1892, using the money borrowed
in the west where he was interested in
banks. The Bank of the Republic
holds collateral security for the note,
consisting of stocks of western banks
in which Mr.. Stebbins is interested.
Since the early days of the far west,
back in the sixties, Mr.. Stebbins has
been widely known in this part of the
country, because of his banking enter
prises. ..a
He went west when he was 80 years
old and accepted a position in a bank
at Atchison, Kan. From his position
he rose to cashier and then to presi-
dent and large stock holder. Fortune
favored him and soon he began to es-
national banks in other towns
in the northwest. His ventures proved
successful and he made a large for
tune His luck was variable, however,
and in the late years he lost and -sade
several fortunes. In all Mr.. Stebbins
founded eleven banks, including those
in Buffalo and Cheyenne, Wyoming;
Billings, Miles City and Livingston,
and Deadwood, Central City,
Spear Fish, in the Dakotas. To start
these banks and keep them going Mr..
Stebbins was forced to borrow large
sums in New York, where he had I'M
limited credited. He was one of the
pioneers in the first caravan that ever
entered Salt Lake City.

TROUBLE AT VALPARAISO.

New York, July IA dispatch to the
Herald from Valparaiso says: There
is general fear here that repetition
of the bloody riots of 1890 when scores
of rioters were shot down and killed
by the police and militia, is at hand.
The situation is critical. 1t was
brought about by the action of the ma
yor of Valparaiso in ordering one thou
sand workshops closed, thereby throw
ing thousands of men out of employ
ment. Unless something is done inn
mediately to provide for the idle
thousands serious trouble will result.
The authorities only quelled the ri
OTIS of 1890 after a great loss of life.
The rioters at that time looted many
stores to obtain food and clothing and
the result was the police and militia
were called out to put ar end to the
troubles. Scores Of idle men were shot
down and cut donw in the streets.

REFEREE CALLED IT A DRAW.
Some Hot Work in the Ring for Score
of Rounds.

or ROUNDS.
San Francisco, July lit was 1880
last night before the event of the
evening was announced.
Rubin, who was the first to make his
appearance was accorded very warm
reception. Jeffries was greeted enthus-
iastically when Master of Ceremonies
Jordon introduced him to the crowd.
After a long delay, occasioned by the
fact that Jeffries' hands were several
sizes larger than the gloves provided
for him and another pair had to be
secured, Referee Phil Wand admonish
ed the pair and without any further
waste of time the men proceeded to
battle. The pace was terrific for the
men for their size and weight, from
the start. Rubin opened the ball with
hook that missed its mark. Jeffries
got in two lefts on the face and landed
twice on the wind. In the second JEFF
fries landed straight left on the jaw
and the latter returned with straight
left in the wind. The Ohioan assumed
the aggressive, but was cleverly stop
ped with a straight left in the neck.
The fourth round was the hottest af-
ter the fight opened. Rubin smashed
Jeffries in the throat just as the round
closed and staggered him. Jeffries be-
came the aggressor when they came up
for the eighth and rushed the Ohioan
to the ropes. He landed several times
over Ruhiin's heart and the latter only
landed a right swing in return. At
the close of the round Jeffries swung
his right hard on the Ohioan's jaw
staggering him. They eased up after
this round until the eighteenth. JEFF
fries then assumed the aggressive and
planted his right over the |
Ohioan's heart while the latter was |
perceptibly weakened. In the last |
round Rubin was down and almost |
out by terrific right swing on the jaw |
and only the call Of time saved him.
The referee, however, declared the |
fight a draw, a decision which was re-
ceived with mingled cheers and Kisses.

Mike O'Connor arrived from Dallas
yesterday with genuine hard-luck
story. Said he: Il hate to come in
with those old hard-luck stories, but
we have had more than our share of
them. OF course, we are all playing,
but if you would see the boys getting
around you would feel sorry for them.
Bailey can't run with his Charley
horse, and you could beat him with a
wheelbarrow; Valdois is playing third
with one hand-he burst that old sore
on his right hand; Kohnie has a
sprained knee and looks like ne is car
rying weight, consequently singles are
turned into two and three baggers;
Stanley is worked to death, and 1 can't
give him rest on account of Bailey's
bag leg. l am near gone. The strain
in my left arm is no better and I've
got rheumatism in my right arm, so 1
can't throw ball across the diamond.
Well, with all our hard luck, we have
not been robbed by the umpire BY
the time the team returns, expect the
boys will be in better shape, and win
be in condition to put up q good game
Sunday. Louisville gave us a raw
deal by not letting us have Pitcher
MCGEE, as they promised. They now
say they can't spare him. We had
figured on him and were not looking
for anyone else. I expect, however,

Safe Food for Chicks.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican says: have been in the
hen business over FIVE years; thee years
ago raised 1874 chicks, and never lost or
even had one sick. l feed one-half
corn meal and one half shorts mixed up
with warm water. As soon as the chicks
appear put down q small quantity of
the mixture and the mother soon teaches
them how to eat. If l have it, mix the
food up with sour milk, and give it to
them to eat the same day they are taken
from the nest, for / always noticed that
chickens will pick for something to eat
within a few hours after leaving the
shell. Ny chicks are always strong, for
l select eggs for setting from the best
and strongest 2-year- old hens. Ispeak
of my experience three years since, as l
have never tried to raise so many since,
as l have not much land. The 1874 chicks
spoken of were raised in yard measur-
ing fifteen by eighteen feet. Out of
that number 1 had over one hundred
pullets, and marketed the rest as soon
as they weighed three or four pounds.
Still, l never should attempt to raise
that number again in the same yard, for
it was too small and the hens acquired
the habit of feather picking; since,
have not crowded them and all goes
we'll. The trouble in raising chickens
mainly comes from giving them clear
corn meal, which constipates them.
Give one-half bran or Shorts" as we
call it, and select your eggs from strong
hens and see no need for failure, pro-
viding there is not neglect in some
other direction. Chickens require TO
be fed often, say once an hour, giving a
small quantity or only what they will
eat up clean. Clean water must of
course he given.
Another writes: About the middle of
last May 1 set hen of the Plymouth
Rock breed, on fifteen eggs, and in due
time she came off with fifteen chickens.
The chickens were fed with scalded
wheat-bran and corn meal mixed about
half-and- half, and allowed to run with
the hen. They all lived and thrived
greatly, and were all of good size when
parted with them about the middle of
October. My experience the year be-
fore with the same treatment was nearly
the same, though the hen did not hatch
all her eggs.

Hybrids All.

DR.. Vance says: My Carniolans turn
out to be hybrids, and too cross for any
comfort. can't go among the hives
without having one or more darting at
my head, and often singing me. They
also attack persons passing one hun
bred feet from the hives. Fearing that
they might annoy my neighbors too
much, sent to Indiana for queens of
the @Simonpure' Italian stripe. They
camo on July 8, and we're successfully
introduced on the 10th. removed the
queens (hybrids), and Immediately
placed the italian queens in the hives.
1 did it accordingto Mr.. Doolittle's plan,
which is about as follows:
/ made wire cages 0hree) about three
inches square and quarters of an
inch deep, and first removing the queen
from the hive, I took o comb of brood
with some honey into my bee house and,
laying it on board, let the queen es-
cape from the mailing cage into my in
Producing cage, and, pressing it down
into the comb sufficiently to hold it,
hung the comb in the hive. Each queen
was introduced in the same way. They
were left undistuIbed for two days, and
when the hives were opened two were
found liberated from the cages and ac-
cepted. One was found still in the cage.
l cut small hole in the comb opening
into the cage, and returned the comb to
the hive. have no doubt that this
queen also will be accepted, after the
bees have liberated her.

THE sTOCKMAN.
About Coach Horses.

That experienced and successful Wis
honsin breeder, Mr.. A. 0. Fox in q
recent Breeders Gazette says: The
mares which we have within our reach
to breed ooachers from are lacking more
in size and bone than in any other
quality. Trotting-b bred mares can be
found in nearly all sections with fair
style and action, but they are too small
and fine in the bone. 1t is fair to as
sumo that in breeding for coachers the
majority of breeders will use this class
of mares because the most common and
easily obtained. Few can afford to i'm
port or buy the imported mares. When
they can be found there are probably no
better mares than our largest trotting-
bred mares, but they are now held in
such high esteem that they are quite as
high priced as the best imported mares.
In selecting our sire, therefore, for
crossing upon these medium-sized
mares we must look sharp for plenty of
size and an abundance of broad, clean
bone. He must at four years old stand
sixteen to sixteen and One-half hands
and weigh in plain flesh 1900 pounds or
more. His color must be clear and rich
and without bad marks. His shoulders
should slope gracefully back, and he
should stand we'll up in the withers.
He should carry lengthy, well-arched,
neck, surmounted by q clennly-chis-
eled head free from meat. He
should have clear, full expressive
eye and the visage of thorough
bred. His back should be of medium
length, not too much inclined to arch,
aud coupled strong in the loins to q
long, smooth hip. His tail should come
out we'll up and Aoat gracefully behind
when in motion. He should have a
good depth of girth and well-sprung
barrel. His limbs and feet should be
absolutely sound, not too long between
the Joints, and not too straight in the
hind legs, that he may have his feet
we'll under him, and an easy, graceful
hook action. His action should be high,
bold, and square, and with sufficient
speed to roll off eight to twelve miles an
hour with ease and grace. His dis
position should be spirited and in
telligent If in making this selection
we can find a predominance OF these
qualities in q high-bred American
trotter, with the ability TO reproduce
them, believe we have the best to be
had. II, on the other hand. We are to
look abroad among the European breed
OF ooacheTs for our sire we must keep
clear Of the thick-chopped, meaty-
hooked, drafty sort, and look sharp for

NEVER put the sweepings of the room
into the waste-paper basket.
WHEN sponge cake becomes dry it is
nice to cut in thin slices and toast.
KITCHEN tables may be made as white
as snow if washed with soap and wood
ashes. Floors look best scrubbed with
cold water, soap and wood ashes.
To PREVENT lampwicks from smoking
they should be soaked in vinegar and
then thoroughly dried. 1t is said that
they will never smoke if this process Is
adopted.
EGG she'll crushed into small bits and
shaken we'll in decanters three parts

MEAT will keep three weeks in dry,
frosty weather, and more than week in
cold, dry weather, but not one week in
damp, and hardly day in very hot
weather. If it has been frozen, it must
lie in rather warm place three or four
hours before it is cooked.
