As a matter OF fact, Gen. Dow retired from

but nobody thought much about it. People
took 1t for granted that he was still as ready
for a fight as ever. and go concluded to put Off
for a while any attempt TO change the law

who don't like this law are talking of u change.

the Superior Court, before Judge Bonney,
more than $40, 900 was paid in fines by liquor
sellers, and besides many cases were appealed
only in order TO get u little more time. That

NEW WRINKLES IN SHIPS.
A BiE Royal ~Yard-steel Yards ana Masts-
vessels without RoyaIs.

A man not familiar with ships who saw tho
royal yard lying on a South street wharf the
other day. might have mistaken 1t for a main
yard, It looked so big. 1t was . new spar for an
American wooden ship OF 1900 tons lying
alongside tho wharf. and was AZ feet long. Tho
mainyard of the ship measured about 80 feet in
length. The royal WAS Of spruce, tho main OF
Oregon pine. On a ship built nowadays tho
lower yard would he OF steel,
ships mnsts were formerly made with tho
several parts each a solid stick. When big
timber became scarce and more costly the
lower mastS were built up OF a number of pieces
OF wood and banded with iron hoops. When
ships began to he built OF iron tho lower masts
were made OF iron and also the lower yards; and
when the building OF stool ships was begun. tho
lower mests and the lower yards were made Of
steel. There are ships now that carry steel
yards up to and including their top-gallans
yards.
Thore are built nowadays ships that carry no
royals, The other yards are made longer. so
that the ship spreads the same amount of can
vas, which il, however, carried lower. With
less weight aloft there is less leverage on tho
masts, and the ship stands up better. Fewer
yards arc req fred and less rigging. The low
rig is in line with the common modern endeavor
toward greater economy OF operation.

TIED COWS ON THE TRACK.

PENSACOLA. Fla, Oct. THE Louisville and

but old'fashioned scheme OF robbery which has
puzzled its detectives for two years. Jackson

MINISTER SEWALL
Maine Man Appointed for
Hawaii.
FaVOrs Annexation and His APP
pointment May Indicate
Presidents Policy.

WASHINGTON, April %. Presi-
dent Mckinley today sent to the
Senate the name of Harold NJ Sew
all as Minister to Hawaii. The
Senate, in executive session, confirmed
the nomination.
The appointment of Harold NJ.
Sewall of Maine at Minister to
Hawaii has bolstered up the
hopes of the annexationists and those
who favor a continuance of the re-
ciprocity treaty with the Island Repub-
lie. Mr.. SewaIl has been all along an
advocate of the annexation of the ISL
ands, and his choice for the post of
Minister is believed by those who ia
vor that settlement of the question to
be an indication of the policy of the
Administration.
1t is argued that had it been the wish
to simply recognize Mr.. Sewall for his
work during the campaign this could
have been done in other ways than by
sending him to this post, where his
pronounced views must lend color to
the belief that the Administration has
given him preferment by reason of his
opinions and indorses them.
Mr.. SewalI is eminently fitted to rep
resent this country in the Pacific, as
his long experience at Samoa made
him familiar with the trade conditions
of the Western Coast, and gave him an
insight into the advantages to this
country of traffic with the various ISL
ands Mr.. Sewall has an intimate
knowledge of the feelings of Germany
and England in regard to Pacific af-
fairs, as he was at Berlin during the
negotiation of the compact under
which Samoa is now governed. He
will be a valuable man for San Fran
cisco by reason of his connection with
the ocean carrying trade.
The sentiment in favor of a continu
ance of the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty, while it may not be growing,
is showing more and more in the deli
berations of the Finance Committee,
which is now considering the tariff
bill Senator Kyle of South Dakota
was heard by the committee today in
an argument on the wool and hide sub
jects. Incidentally the Senator, who
is counted upon to aid the Republicans
in the passage of the bill, took occasion
to tell the Republicans of the sub
that he believed it to be for
the best interests of the West that the
treaty be continued in force. He made
an argument in favor of the treaty.
1t is understood now that Senator AL
drich is the only member of the sub
who is opposed to the con-
tinuance of the treaty.
Senator Platt of Connecticut said
today that he thought the treaty wise
convention, and Senator
Allison of Iowa is believed to be OPP
posed to any action at this time look
ing toward the breaking of the present
relations. 1t is not thought that AL
drich can dominate the committee
when the bill comes to be consider
ed as a whole, and should Senator
White finally decide to support the
treaty, there seems little doubt that
the tariff bill of the Senate will con-
tain the provisions of the Dingley bill
it in force.

ADMIRAL MILLER NOT COMING

VIII Go to England - Commodore
HavisOn May Come
NEW YORK, April 2S.-The Suns
Washington special says: The indica-
lions are that Rear-Admiral Miller, re-
Gently assigned TO the command or
the Pacific naval station, will not go to
Honolulu in July to relieve Rear-Ad-
miraI Beardslee, as provided in orders
issued recently by the Navy Depart
ment.
The decision of the President to send
Admiral Miller to London as special
representative of the United States at
the Queens Jubilee, will act as an ab-
rogation of his assignment to the Pa
cific station. When the President and
Secretary Long return they will take
up the question of selecting another
successor to Admiral Beardslee.
Great care will be taken in making
the selection. Several names are under
consideration, but it is understood that
the inclination of President Mckinley
and Secretary Long points to Commo-
dore Henry L. Howison. He is well
acquainted with the people of Hawaii,
and is popular there. He has the repu
tation of being a man of judgment and
courage. The name of Commodore
George Dewey may also be considered.

She Has Not Yet Raised n Ques-
ton of Precedence.
NEW YORK, April 22.-Mrs. Do
minis, formerly Queen Liliuokalani,
has engaged rooms for herself and
party at the Albemarle, and will be
here during the Grant monument GER
emonies. The former Queen is now in
Washington. She will arrive Monday.
1t is rumored that her grand cham
berlain has communicated with the
committee in charge of receiving dis
tinguished guests, but any arrange
ments that have been made for the
reception of the former ruler of the
Hawaiian Islands have not been di-
vulged.
Mrs. Dominis will not travel on
either of the special trains, and there
fore no question of precedence in her
case will disturb the transportation
committee. Should the committee on
plan and scope, which has the dispos-
al of the seats at the tomb, recognize
the former monarch and place her near
the President, there may be jealousy
in the diplomatic corps.
