hut the Reporter Heard All About ths
Trouble In Tin Can Court.
There had been trouble Of some kind
in the tenement house dignified by the
name Of Tin Can Court, and reporter
had called on a certain Mrs. McSniffin,
who, he had been told, knew all about it.
YES" she said, II do know all
about it, but propose to keep what I
know to myself, unless I'm subpenaed
to appear in regular court, and then I'd
be obliged to tell, bat until that time
comes have nothing to say, for know
Just how easy IL is for one to get into
trouble by letting ones tongue run
when it's better to have been still, and
/ amt one to make trouble in the court
anyhow, for the land knows there's
plenty to do it without me, and if some
of that trouble making class knew, as
I know, that it was Mrs. Billkins who
began the fuss with Mrs. Crafty by
passing insinuations ON Mrs. Cratty's
daughter Mandie, because her young
man up and Tilted her for Mag Murphy,
the young lady as is table girl at Pat
Doolan's restaurant-I say that if GER

enough, but / amt one o. that kind,
Mrs. Crafty being good friend o. mine
and perfect lady, il she did hit Mrs.

Billiiins said what she did about Mrs.
Crafty : own flesh and bloodP I've moth

ready to do it ag'in, but can't say
that I'm so very sorry she got the worst
of it when she come ot Mrs. Crafty

the way Mrs. Crafty handled Mrs. Bill

and it proved what I've always said,
that these little, pale. blue eyed, light
haired and light complicated women was
awful when you once got 'em started.
If the patrol wagon hadn't come just
when it did, I'm thinkin it'd gone a
good deal worse than it did with Mrs.

pearance, strength and lasting
qualities has won for the makers
q name world renowned.
The "RAMBLERS" are equi-
ped with the great G.&J. Detach-
able Tire, which since its intro.
duction to Honolulu has proved,
by the numbers in use, the most
successful and necessary adjust
ment to a bicycle.
We take great pleasure in re-
comending to our friends the
"RAMBLER" and trust that in

As is customary nearing the
close of each year, the makers in
order to get ready for the ensuing
year, offer the present 1896
wheels at reduced prices. We are
now prepared to give our GUS
toners the benefit of these reduc-
tons as long as our stock holds
out. For those wishing an up to
date wheel of the highest grade,
one which we can guarantee to
the fullest extent, we would offer
the "RAMBLER." AS to i'm
provements for the coming season
we would say we anticipate none.
Such changes which may be made
will, as has been the past two
years, be changes immaterial to
the improvement of the wheel in
general.
Kindly give this some thought
or call your riends'sttention to it
and oblige.

On Saturday President Mckinley Is
sued a proclamation calling congress in
extra session on Monday March 18th.
The proclamation is as follows:
Whereas, public interests require
that the congress of the United States
should be convened in extra session at u
O'Clock on the 18th day of March, 1897
to receive such communication as may
be made by the executive.
"Now, therefore, /, William McKin-

America, do hereby proclaim and de-
clare that an extraordinary occasion re-
quires the congress of the United States
to convene in extra session at the capi-
tol in the city of Washington on ,the
18th day of March, 1897, at II O'Clock
noon, of which all persons who shall at
that time be entitled to act as members
thereof are hereby required to take notice.

The house of representatives passed
without amendment and with only 20
minutes to each side for debate the
sundry civil appropriation bill, carrying
$50, GA, 743.
Fifty millions in 40 minutes
But extravaganza is not the worst fea-
ture of the bill. 1t is loaded down with
jobbery. Every public building and
river and harbor grab that the commit
tee dared to adopt-including more than
s., 900, 900 for states represented by
members of the committee-was put in
to this bill. 1t was openly asserted
upon the floor, and by a Republican
member, that these items were tackled
on to a general appropriation bill in or
der to avoid a veto.
Some time this country will have a
president possessed of sufficient courage
to veto every general appropriation bill
that comes to him freighted with log
rolled schemes of jobbery and plunder.
Until then, apparently, the people must
put up with billion dollar appropriations
in the face of a $50, 900, 900 deficiency.

Uncle sam OutwittPd

Carabelle, Fla, March Sit is
learned tonight on good authority that
the Cubans got ahead of Uncle Sam af
ter all and that a big load of arms and
ammunition escaped the watchful eyes
of the cruisers, getting off under their
very noses. The story is that a vessel
was loaded with baled cotton, the arms
being concealed in some of the bales,
which were hollow, and under them
The vessel was stopped lin the gulf by a
cruiser, but the cargo was so innocent
looking she was allowed TO proceed.
1t is is said that over l 200 rifles, $50
sabres or machetes, 100, 900 rounds am
munitiOn, six cans of dynamite and a
large supply of medicines were in the
cargo. Cubans here are laughing heart
lily over the joke played on Uncle Sam,

tails nor allow name of vessel to be used

Fathers Futile HerOism.

Millvjlle, \. j., March THE little

daughter of Elihu Reed and the destruC

Reeds three child rem were playing
around table when accidentally knock

whole building was in flames. The
father was lying on a sofa and quickly
jumping up he carried two of the chill
dren to the yard, but when he rushed
back for little Bertha the whole build

whose screams could be heard, persisted
in the fire. When she screamed "Pa-

hands, rushed in the burning building.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that libel
suits have been brought against Rev.
DIR. Swallow, of Harrisburg, editor of
the Pennsylvania Methodist, by GER
tain state officials, there is much un-
easiness in official circles over the out
come There is growing fear that DIR.
Swallow knows more than has been gen
erally anticipated. 1t is rumored that
private detectives had been quietly at
work for some time and that DR.. Swal-
low only formulated and made public
his allegations after he felt confident OF
his position and in expectation OF ac-
tions for libel Instead of recanting or
showing a disposition to modify his
charges, DR. Swallow has practically re-
peated them as strongly, if not strong
er, than before in an open letter to Gov
ernor Hastings, published last week.
DR.. Swallows allegations, which he
said he was ready to substantIate by
evidence, and which the actions for IL
bel will require him to do, if he can,
are in substance as follows: That per
sons have been paid money out of the
state treasury who rendered no service
| to the state: that persons who did rem
der service were asked to sign receipts
for two, three and four times as much
money as they received; that new metal
| f,rp;cbipgC bava baaD Maid for bV the
state and the old furnishings cleaned
| and made to persOnate the new ones;
that articles furnished the soldiers or
| phan schools cost the state eight fold more
| than reliable bidders asked; that repairs,
| changes and alterations IN the capitol
| buildings, grounds, executive mansion
and Grace Church (where the Legislature
now meets cost the state many thous-
ands of dollars more than they should
have done, and that the money did not
go to the persons furnishing the mate
rials and labor; that there lis convinc-
ing evidence of criminal carelessness and
neglect on the part of state house Gus
todians, and presumptiye evidence of
criminal intent in the destruction by
fire of the state capitol building; that
| valuable furniture and furnishings
| bought for the state are now in use In
private homes without any compensa-
ton for the same having come to the
state.

AFTER stating, says the Harrisburg
Patriot, that the appropriations of the
Fifty fourth congress are 81 ,04S, ,437 ,O1S,
Chairman Cannon, of the appropriations
committee, says, ''the appropriations
are, in my judgment, in excess eff the
legitimate demands of the public SER
vice. Mr.. Sayres, of the minority of
the same committee, makes the total ap-
preparations of this congress So, 1877
So in excess of the Fifty-third con-
gress; SIC, 632, 40 over the Fifty-second
congress, and S7,757, sos in excess of
the Ffty-first congress.
1t was the Fifty first congress that be-
gan the Billion Dollar Country style
of extravaganza in appropriation, partly
to get rid of the surplus in the treasury
which had for long time been a heavy
argument against high tariff. Any
thing and everything that asked money
got it and pensions were given a new
boom. These extravagances not only
cleaned out the treasury but, with other
extravagances, saddled the Democratic
congress with fixed charges which could
not be reduced nor left unpaid Mr.
Cannon, in his remarks on the appro-
priations, endeavors to add to the Demo
cratic figures he quotes in various ways,
but he says nothing about expenditures
compelled by previous Republican legis-
lation.
The Republican congress has gone to
utmost limit in spending the peoples
money and is floundering about for ex-
cuses. A billion dollars is an ourra-
geous sum of money to be spent by one
congress in an endeavor to show that
certain tariff law does not produce de-
sired revenue. 1t is shameful extrava-
gance for a more shameful purpose.
with all the fixed charges created by
Republican predecessor the Democratic
congress showed how economy was
practical and it practiced economy.
There was o,hing to prevent the Fifty
fourth congress doing the same thing,
that is nothing which a patriotic con-
gress would find preventive. But the
Fifty-fourth had something beside econ
omy in view. There is high tariff bill
to be passed and the necessity for IL
must be made somewhat apparent. The
people are being robbed to glut the ra-
Iacity of the Republican machine.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says: Post
master General Gary has not yet an
nounced his policy regarding either pres
idential or fourth-class postmasters. Be
fore he comes to a definite decision as
to whether postmasters will be allowed
to serve out their terms he will have a
consultation with the president. AS all
presidential postmasters are commission
ed for four years, little doubt is enter
tanned at the department that they will
be allowed to serve out their terms save
in exceptional cases, where circumstan-
ces may warrant early changes. Fourth
class postmasters are not commissioned
for four years, but are appointed to serve
at the pleasure of the postmaster gener
al. 1t is not probable that the changes
will begin until new fourth assistant
is appointed, at an early day.

The London Daily Cbrouicle publishes
q dispatch from Athens saying that
Greece has 10000 troops on the frontier,
and that the Turkish and Greek outposts
are very close in places. For instance
at Arta the Turks hold one end of a
bridge and the Greeks the other. A
Greek general recently while inspecting
the frontier was captured by the Otto
man patrol, but was eventually rescued
by the troops. The situation on the
frontier, the dispatch says, is danger
GUS one, and little would be required to

independent sets of regular correspond
eDts, added to several thousands from
mills and elevators, all carefally COM
bined and weighed, relates principally

The stocks remaining on farms and the
proportion of merchantabIe and unmer-

mates given.
The corn on hand is estimated aggre-
eating 1,64. 900, 900 bushels against / :.
