SOUTHERN REPUBLICANs.
They Rejoice at the Hopkins Il endnlI
CGae DcCfaiOn.

The decision of the House in the con-
tested election case of Hopkins against
Kendall from the tenth Kentucky district
whereby the republican has been seated
causes much rejoicing among republicans
from the south. 1t is regarded by them as
distinct triumph of the equities over the
cold letter of the law, and in that sense Il
gain for the cause of honest election meth
DDS in the south.
The case was a difficult one. There was
that involved which divided the lawyers on
the elections committee, and induced ma
jority of the committee, purely on legal
interpretations, to decide against the con-
testant. At the same time a strong show
ing was made by the contestant of fraud in
the preparation OF the ballots for use in
one of the counties of the district, and the
contention of the republicans was that the
vote of that county should be thrown out
This point was elaborated very effectively
in the open House yesterday, and carried
by majority of over hundred, and the
contestant was awarded the seat.
This is the broad principle upon which
the southern republicans have for some
time been appealing to Congress in these
election contests. Their contention is that
the letter of the election laws in their states
is, by design, against them; that, under
it, frauds are easily committed; that these
frauds, when proved should invalidate
whatever they have directly touched, and
Influenced, and that in no other way can
justice be meted out. And now that they
have polled the House so satisfactorily on a
case where the equities were SO sharply
set against the technicalitieS, they are
strongly in hopes Of being able successfully
to raise the same point in other cases. They
express themselves convinced that if
future Houses will but recognize and apply
this principle. the general effect throughout
the south will be excellent.
The friends of Mr.. Hopkins made an
earnest effort to have his contest decided
at the long session. He was to be candi-
date for denomination, and, as they felt
convinced of the strength of his case, and
that the House upon hearing 1t stated
would seat him, they thought he was en-
titled to go into the district convention
with the prestige of a winning here. But
the case dragged, and when the district
convention was held Mr.. Hopkins was de-
feated by a narrow margin

Bitter Feeling in Germany.
Copyright, 1897. by the Associated Press
BERLIN, February 19.-The newspapers
of this city reflect the bitter resentment
felt by Emperor William at the rejection
by the Marquis of Salisbury of his maj
esty's persona, proposal to coerce Greece
by joint blockade of the Piraeus. the port
order to check the warlike demonstrations
of Greece.
The emperors proposal caused great sur
prise in diplomatic circles. it was gem
orally assumed that he would not oppose
the Greek pretenSionS in regard to Crete,
owing to his sister Sophia being the wife
of the Duke of Sparta. the crown prince of
Greece But it appears that there has long
been an absolute estrangement between
the emperor and his sister, arising from
dition. has never been over-friendly to the
royal family of Greece
In diplomatic circles il is surrIiSed that
Emperor Williams dignity was hurt in
some manner. Probably by the firm atti-
tude assumed by Greece in the face of
the emorstrances of the powers, cf Ger
many. in particular. and hence the extreme
proposal TO blockade the Piraeus, which
was urged by mis- majesty with unusual
vehemtnce, through the ambassadors mere.
upon the European ca binetS.
The Marquis ot Salisbury. without any
hesitation. promptly -1eclined the emperor :
proposition saying that the public opinion
in Great Britain wcuid never acquiesce TO
such a policy
The National Zeitung pointedly charges
Great Britain with attempting 10 disturb
the peace of Europe. and says: THE i'm

agreement of the powers will be disturbed
by manifestation of separate British in
forests which promises 10 raise the veil
hitherto shrouding the origin Of the ex-
tremely strange Greek adventure From

that il was not so much to attack Turkey

Boiler in place, November u,

When needs be things are done
up brown" in California. To day
there is floating, with the grace Of
gull, near the Union Iron Works, as
trim little vessel as lies in the bar
Dor, and but few days over two
months ago the material of which
she was builded was lying in the
yards in great squares OF steel. 1t
has been demonstrated that ship
can be constructed at the Union
Iron Works in but little more time
than carpenter takes to build a
frame shauty, and in little less
time than the average woman takes
to make a Mother Hubbard.
The vessel referred to is the Maui,
the property of the Wilder Steam
ship Company of Honolulu. Yes
terday she was launched and her
boilers were placed, and inside OF
two months she will be completed
and turned over to her owners. Miss
Florence Fairchild, daughter of II.
II. Fairchild, who for many years
was connected with the firm Of
Goodall, Perk Inns g. Co., christened
the vessel.
A platform was erected at the
prov aud at the hour for the ship
to move from the ways into the
waters of the sea Miss Fairchild,
Irving NJ. Scott and w. A. Johnston,
representing the owners, took up a
station there. Promptly at 12:45
d. m. the signal for the launch
was given. Hammer blows were
rained on the blocks that held the
vessel from the element for which
she was builded, and they fell away
: For a moment the ship seemed to
hesitate, as though awaiting the
champagne's kiss upon her iron
PROV. Miss Fairchild stepped for
ward aud with ringing voice said
81 christen thee Maui" and
dashed a bottle Of richest wine
against the unyieldiDg metal. The
bottle broke in fragments, and as
the liquid foamed down her side the
Maui gently started on her voyage
to the waters. The end OF the ways
was soon reached, and the vesse
noated out on the bay as though sb'
} had known no other resting-plac'
: in her short existence.
The shorelines we're hauled taut
and the vessel was steered arounC
to station beside the gigantic
shears, A boiler weighing thirt,
tons was lifted and at LILO p. m, i
was in place within the hold. Tn
vessel was then secured to tn
, wharf, and those who witnessed he
