Scottish Nights.
During the course of the Indian mutiny
made the acquaintance of one of these gem
tlemen of India, who tried to instruct me
how TO perform these tricks. He said 1T

see those things. Yet L, in common with
Western nations, was too animalized, sens
aul and materialized by flesh eating and
consumption of alcohol to retain or accept
any deep spiritual teaching.
The most exciting performance that he
gave for my amusement was the converting
of bamboo stick into native servant,
who waited at table and supplied our wants.
Afterward-in his absence-I tried it on and
to my surprise the same man was before
me asking for instructions. | directed him
to fill the chatties " the veranda with
water from the we'll in the compound. This

stop. He, however took no notice of me
and went on stolidly bringing in the water
until, in my excited imagination. it seemed
that the bungalow would be washed away.
Finding that ! could not arrest or stop
his movements, he passing through me as
though l did not exist, l drew my sword
and lay in wait for him. Making a slash,

there were two men bringing in the water,
neither of whom could l restrain or prevent
from doing so.
l was completely out of my depth, when
l heard a quiet laugh behind me, and on
turning | found it was my instructor, who
held up his right hand and the two men
disappeared, the stick resuming its place in
the veranda and to crown all there was
not the slightest sign of any water having
been brought in. l eXcitedly appealed to
him for an explanation. He said that he
had been present all the time, having willed
that he should be invisible to me and that
l should imagine myself to see and do what

In order TO prove 1t he asked me to step
out into the compound and directed my at

not touch one of them. They apparently
passed over me as though l did not exist
He again raised his hand and the cavern
and animals disappeared. and there was no
indication of an exodus of any kind.

BRIGHTW0OD SHOOTING.
Charles Ivory Quarreled with Two
Other COIOred Men over women.

Charles Ivory, colored man living in
Brightwood, was shot last night and
slightly wounded by Robert Carr or Robert
Higgins in a saloon at the corner of Suth-
eriand and James streets. The three men
rad had trouble the night before at q
dance The two men seemed TO take Of
tense at the conduct Of Ivory in relation TO
some women, and they threatened TO lay
for him the next night. Last night the
two men met Ivory and a quarrel and fight
enSued. Ivory was able to hold his own
against them until one of them pulled a
pistol and fired at him. The police patrol
ing that part of the city, as well as the
patrolmen from the First district and Ser
geant Hyland learned of the affair soon
after 1t happened and went in search of
Carr and Higgins.
The police who investigated the case
came to the conclusion that the shot which
struck Ivory was fired by Carr. He does
not live here, but belongs in the southern
part of the State, and has been staying
about Brightwood for a few days.
Ivory is probably moro seriously injured
home from the scene of the encounter, and
this led to the conclusion that his wound
was of trivial nature Drs. Brown and
Johnson, who attended him, found that the
wound is bad one and may prove fatal.
Sergeant Hyland and the four patrolmen
spent the entire night searching for Carr
and Higgins, but they had failed TO find
them at an early hour this morning.

PRESSMEN'S UNION.
Amendments to Constitution Dis
cussed and Resolutions Adopted.

DETROIT, June 1.-THE convention of
the International Pressmens Union got
into a tangle to-day over a question as to
whether amendments to the constitution,
which had been adopted a year ago and
printed in pamphlet form. were actually
a part of the constitution. The question
arose during the making of nominations
for officers, and the main point at issue
was whether members of the feeders and
helpers branch of the union could noTai-
nate a vice president. The convention final
ly voted 10 work under the original consti-
tuition, except in cases where it confiicted
with subsequent amendments, and feeders
and helpers We're given recognition among
the candidates.
A resolution was adopted favoring the
repeal of the civil-serVice law so far as it
applies to mechanical trades in the depart

Washington union for fdvOring an extern

upon Congress to place a specific duty on

Comment of the London Press on the
Proposed Annexation.

Proposed Annexation.
LONDON. June 1.-THE Pail Mall Ga
zette this afternoon says that the Marquis
Ito, the Japanese statesman, who was in
terviewed yesterday in Paris on the Ha-
waiian annexation question, has declared
that Japan will not create international
difficulties in connection with Hawaii, and
that certainly no other country will object
to the annexation of Hawaii by the United
States Commenting on this utterance. the
Pail Mall Gazette says: president Nc
Kinley may call annexation merely a con-
tinuance Of existing relations, but it is an
undoubfed departure in the colonizinS
sense. 1t does not mean that Cuba Will
follow, or anything of that kind, but 1t
means a strong naval policy The United
States will certainly be a great sea power
in the future; her commerce and seaboard
necessitate that, and Hawaii will be of the
greatest value if it means naval expendi-
ture now, and il may well repay 1t with
compound interest in the future
The Globe says: This American grab is
a breach of good faith, If not a violation
Of treaty rights and there is all the more
reason for anticipating a prompt and
Watchful attitude on the part of Lord Sails
bury now, when it is remembered what a
fabby appearance England presented to a
Zuela No English Ministry, however
strong, can afford TO repeat that policy
often. All English men heartily desire TO
cultivate and maintain friendly relations
with the United States, but our transat-
lantic kinsmen must not be allowed to be-
lieve that England can be bullied into sub
whether for electioneering or other pur-
poses. Lord Salisbury and his colleagues
should stiffen their backs and tell Presi-
dent Mckinley politely, but plainly, that
Great Britain claims the right TO be con-
suited before the annexation of Hawaii is
finally decided upon.

senator WoIcott,s views.

LONDON, June 1S.-The Times corre-
spondent in Paris says: To-day CThurs-
day., in the garden of the British embassy,
L met a member Of the American Senate
In high standing, who said to me: In one
way or another we were bound to take
Hawaii. 1t has, first of all, the advantage
that it can be annexed without serious diff
ficulty arising with any European power.
Therefore we can satisfy our desire for
some sort of annexation without running
the risk of serious complications. More
over Hawaii is so near America that 1t is
quite out of the question that it should be-
long to any other power and its govern
ment is so weak that it could not seriously
resist if any other power really tried to
take it. Although not worth much, Hawaii
will make an excellent coaling station, and
it might prove otherwise useful in our
hands. Unless we annex it now we should
expose ourselves to complications with the
Japanese, who would soon outnumber the
Americans in the islands, while now we
have to fight nobody

Views of Bishop Wills.

PLYMOUTH, England, June 17.-Bishop
Willis, of Honolulu, has just arrived here
from Hawaii. In an interview he is quoted
as saying that the feeling in the islands
is against the United States and greatly
in favor of British annexation, but, the
bishop adds, Great Britain has held aloof,
although third of the capital of the coun-
try is British. Continuing, Bishop Willis
said that he thought that if Great Britain
course was for Japan to reinstate Queen
Liliuokalani. Referring to the proposed an
nexation of the islands by the United
States. the bishop said the proposal was
only advanced in order to please certain
politicians, as America did not want the
Islands because the Chinese exclusion act
would become nullified if Hawaii was an
nexed In conclusion, the bishop is quoted
as saying that there is no doubt that ia
pan will enforce her claims in Hawaii, in
which country her commercial prospects
are good,

the West End Republican Woman's Club
says that clubs have developed women as
nothing else ever did. For instance, they
have learned to dispute gracefully We
had not supposed this to be a new art. y
graceful woman will do almost anything
gracefully-eXcept, perhaps, throwing q
stone But does ii relieve the chagrin at
the inevitable defeat which every mascu-
line being must encounter in a debate with
woman to have it inflicted gracefully?
There might be some small mitigation in
seeing the conqueror show temper or in
dulge in undue exaltation. But TO be
worsted gracefully adds a pang TO defeat.
1t is too late to stop the clubbing habit
in women. so long monopolized by men, but
a perception of its perils may serve to arm
us against them Query: Is a "clubbablc
woman the best sort?
