THE SAUCY DAUNTlESS.


The Tug Released, and the Faithful board
Her and She Stcams Away - There's
Something in the Wind.
New YORK, June 15.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Key West, Fla, says:
The tug Dauntless was released from
custody by the collector of customs late
last night. Word was soon passed
among the faithful, and 30 of her
original passengers gathered on the
wharf with bundles and packages,
from the ends of which machetc
handles and muzzles of revolvers could
be seen.
In the meantime steam was hurriedly
gotten up on the Dauntless, and the
little tug cast off from her dock and
proceeded to sea. The Marblchead,
lying at anchor in the stream only n
short distance off, either did not see
her or did not care to intercept her.
Instead of proceeding to sea through
the regular ship camel, the Dauntlcss
gave the Marblehead a wide berth,
passing far astern, and passed out
through the northwest channel into
the Florida bay. A local pilot was
taken aboard to carry her into the
gulf, either through Knights key or
BahiaIIonda channel, where it is alleged
vessel with arms and ammunition
awaits her. The revenue steamer For
ward left yesterday, and the McLane
has sailed to try to intercept the cxpe-
dition, which it is reported will leave
for Cuba from some point on the Florida
coast.

Chivnlry and Soft Hats.

Given car full of soft-hatted men
and a woman never has to stand. 1t
is the old-fashioned slouch hat which
insures this gentle courtesy; the Fe-
dora and its kind are no better than the
derby. Chivalry and soft hats-is this
"the connection of the coherent" or
"the erroneous conjunction of the cas-
ually coincident? Fifteen years ago
this question occurred to the Chicago
woman, fresh from land flowing with
soft hats and street car seats, as she
swayed to and fro on Boston car
strap, between rows of neat derby hats.
Returning home some five years later,
to find the slouch hat flown and with
it the street car seat, she started in pur-
suit and overlook them both in Denver.
Unless she mistakes the signs of the
times and the hatter's windows, she
will soon have to move on. The case is
becoming acute. There is only n third
of the continent left. Manners are fac
titious," says Emerson, "and grow out
of circumstances as well as character"
II the slouch hat should be reintro-
duced on the Atlantic seaboard, would
the car seat follow in its wake?-N. Y.

PREMIER LAURiER


Throws Bomb Into the Camp Of the
frotectiontsts, and Insists on Free Trade
Tor Engiand-Canada Gives England
Preference as Free Gift and Asks
Nothing In Return Except the Prosperity
of the Empire.
NEW YORK, June l5.-The Evening
Post to-day publishes the following
copyright cablegram from London:
Mr.. Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian
premier, has given a new and some
what dramatic turn to the talk of
schemes of imperial unity and aggran-
dizement of which the air is very full
just now. Every other colonial pre-
mier now here, while overnowing with
expressions of loyalty, is assuring En-
gland of the direct consequences If she
will not barter away her free trade in
exchange for tariff preferences in colo
nial markets.
The duke of Devonshire's speech at
Liverpool Saturday, following Mr..
Chamberlain's lukewarm attitude to-
ward free trade. is interpreted as in
dicating the readiness of the imperial
government to make some move In the
direction of an imperial customs union
when the question comes up in confer
ence between Mr.. Chamberlain and the
premiers. This may include duties on
such foreign imports as wheat, flour
and meat from America and the Ar
gcntine as compete with Canadian and
Australian product..
This was part of Mr. Chamberlain's
zollverein idea. 1t was at this inter
esting moment that Mr.. Laurier
stepped forward and declared the
zollverein to be mere protection, and
asserted that protection, which had
been the curse and bane of Canada, to
be greatest mistake for England and
the empire. "By our tariff" said Mr..
Laurier, tive in Canada give you pref
erence as a free gift. We ask nothing
in return; we do not desire you to
abandon the great principles of free
trade, we desire rather to follow in
your free trade lead, trading where
trading is most natural. Protection
must weaken you, and so hurt the EN-
pirc and Canada as part OF IT,"
Asked as to the duke of Devonshire's
scheme of imperial naval defense, un-
der which the West Indies are being
fortified, Mr. Lauricr sad
There is only one country with
whom Canada ever could be at war.
That country is the United States, and
war with the United States is con-
tingency | refuse to discuss. Such a
war would be not only folly but a
crime. That being SO, what need has
Canada of great schemes of naval de-
| fensc?We are devoted toBritish rule and
grateful for it, but we are satisfied as
we are until the need arises in the
course of our national development for
a change
These uttcrances, in view of Mr..
| Laurier's prominence among colonial
| premiers, can not fail to have great
effect upon the imperial policy, which
is undoubtedly preparing for an impor-
tant new departure.

THREE YOUNG WOMEN KILLED..


TOwn-Part the Corset steel Played.
BELLAIRE, o., June 15.-The lives OF
three young ladies, all aged about 10,
were blotted out Sunday evening by
lightning while they were on their
way home from the Nj. +. church at
Jacobsburg. The victims are:
Minnie McGuire, daughter of Rev.
Thomas Mctiuire.
Alpa Taylor, daughter of Vim. Tay-
lor.
Emma White, daughter of Simon
White.
Sarah Bohring was badly stunned,
and may die.
They were residents of Jacobsburg, a
village on the Bellaire, GAINESVILLE &
Cincinnati railway, II miles west OF
the city, and were walking together in
the road about 100 yards from the
church, when they were struck by the
lightning. 1t is believed that the steel
corsets worn by the three that were
killed were the chief cause of their
death, as Miss Bohring, who was only
stunned, wore none.

JUBILEE EXPENSES.
How Much VIII the Queen Meet Her.
self.

self
An interesting discussion has been
raised among those who are interested
in getting up the jubilee festivities by
the decision of the queen that she will
not take part in any ceremony which
will compel her to leave her carriage.
writes a London correspondent. Her
majesty cannot walk without great diff
ticulty, and she will not consent to be
carried in sedan chair. A persistent
effort has been made to induce her to
modify this determination, but do not
think she VIII do so. For my part, /
think it wonld be a picturesque sight to
see the queen surrounded by the
princes of her family, carried into the
cathedral in state chair, such as that
affected by her predecessor, Queen
Elizabeth. But Victoria will have none
of it, and Isuppose that settles the mat
ter. incidentally question has been
raised as to whether the country pro-
poses to allow her to defray as much
of the expense of this jubilee as she
did of the last. If there is any doubt
on this point, it seems to me that some
Of the money which is being raised for
so many queer purposes might with
propriety be devoted to relieving her
of this expense, which amounted to a
considerable sum in 1887
Speaking of the queens expenses, it
Is not improper to correct mistaken
apprehension as to the cost to the pub
lie of maintaining her, which has
gained wide currency in this country.
The civil list of the crown is voted only
once, and that is upon the accession of
the monarch. 1t is, therefore, GO years
since the original sum was voted to her.
The amount then determined upon was
{ $4,000, or Sl,92j,000 year. But the
ministry in power ut the time eXacted
from her transfer to the British peo-
pie of the crown estates which then
produced an income of 203000, or ST.
10000. At that rate, the net cost of
the queen to the people was something
over 100000 year, but 1t happens that
the crown lands have increased greatly
in value since that time, and now turn
in no less than $4,000 year. or $2,-
100000, with net result that not only
is the queens civil list entirely covered
by it, but the British people actually
make e27,000 a year, or $l35,000, out
Of their bargain.
When one reflects that the president
of France has a salary of $250,000 a
year; the civil list of the emperor of
Austria is almost S4,OO0,O 600; the king of
Italy almost $4,000 the king of
Prussia an equally large sum; the king
of Spain $2,OO0,000, and that even such
little countries as Greece, Roumania,
the Netherlands, Servia, all pay over
$250,000 year to their monarchs, it
would appear that the British people
have got off pretty easy. Of course, the
allowances of the royal family are not
included in this. On the whole, the en-
pire gets its royalty at cheap rate.
Louis Napoleon enjoyed civil list of
$S000,000 year, and the income of the
present czar is estimated at $12, 100000
Not calculating on these large sums,
the queen actually costs less than
second-ratc royalty.-N. Y. Press.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The officials
at the state department steadfastly re-
fuse to make any statement rs to the
negotiation of a treaty providing for
the annexation of Hawaii, and at the
Hawaiian legation the same silence is
observed.
However, it is known that the treaty,
though not yet signed, is drawn up
ready for signature, and, as the presi-
dent is fully aware of its scope, there
is no reason to doubt that he will au-
thorize its signature.
In this case it is expected that the
