THE JAPS IN TROUBLE.
They Are Awaiting the Outcome
of the Hawaiian Question.
A Survey OF the situation from "a
Military and Political Point of
View - England Doesn't
Want Hawaii.
ICopyright, 1911

lCOpyrlgnt lSyiJ
The Japs are in trouble just now.
They are in what New Englanders call
"a state of mind" over the recent action
in regard to Hawaii. just what the
outcome will be is not yet clear. but at
the present moment a brief survey of
the situation, both from a military and
political point of view, cannot fail to be
of interest.
The United States now has at Homo
lulu the first-class cruiser Philadel-
phia. and that relic of by-gone days, the
Marion. The japanese government has
at the present time one ship at Homo
lulu, one on the way thither and an
other about to start.
The Naniwa, now at Honolulu, is a
cruiser built in 1885. She was consid-
cred a very good manof-war in those
days; in fact, when the Naniwa first
came out she was thought to be the
best boat of her class atloat. But that
was long ago. The Nauiwa has no
armor. She is of only 3,700 tons regis
ter, and her main battery consists of
two ten-inch guns and six siX-inch
guns.
The Philadelphia has an armament of
12 siX-inch guns in her main battery
and strong secondary battery. The
Philadelphia is a more modern boat
than the Naniwa, yet with her two
heavy guns the Naniwa would be a
tough morsel for the Philadelphia to
get away with. The Marion is tooth
less old dog of war, and has no modern

officially concerned BalIington Booth is
dead, but there still remains the mem
DRY of the mans inspiring presence and
the marks of his leadership are stamped
upon the work.
Since Frederick Bootb-Tucker has
been in command Of the Salvation Army
in America he has been doing what he
calls ''skirmishing," getting his forces
organized and trained for the campaign
now mapped out. Concerning ho work
for the new year he said YESTERDAY;
"We intend to make rs, 600 CONVEX
sions. This may seem a large number,
but during the last eight months of 1896
we actually recorded more than 80, 900,
which was at the rate of so, 900 a year.
With our new plans in operation we
think our number for 1897 will easily
be reached.
"We now have $50 corps and outposts,
where more than 10, 900 open air and
indoor meetings are conducted every
week, with an average attendance of
more than 2, 900, 900 persons. We intend
to add ITO new corps, and this will
mean an increase Of nearly 5000 meet
ings a week.
Our officers regularly employed in
the work have increased during the past
nine months (since BaIlington Booth
soceded) from 2,024 to 2,153. We in
tend to add at least 500 to this number
and are already receiving applications
at the rate Of about 1870 month. The
bicycle brigade will number 1000 men
and women.
81 hope to start the following new
institutions: Shelters for 2, 900 men and
1000 women, food depots for 5000
daily cheap meals, rescue homes for 800
fallen women, prison gate farms for 800
released convicts, woodyards and sal
wage brigades for employing 500 men,
five Salvation Army hospitals and nurs-
ing brigades and farm colonies for the
poor wherever possible. "
Burlington Booth is encouraged by
the success of his Volunteer movement.
Four regiments have been formed in
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and
San Francisco. Posts have been estab-
lished in several hundred places.

KENDRICK VOTED
AGAINST SWEAT.
An Exciting Debate in the
Georgia Legislature.
EXONERATED THE JUDGES,
Unanimous Vote for Reese, But the
Brunswick. Judge Had a Close
Call. Will Not InVes-
tigate GOber.
FXONERATED The JUDGES,

The report of the Carter Investigating
committee was adopted by the legisla-
tnra in special session Wednesday, after
. sharp debate and after aresolution for
for the Impeachment of Judge Sweat had
bpen voted down.
The report was presented by Chairman
poldar, It briefly stated that "the COM
MITE finds that sufficient evidence has
not heen submitted to authorize
communication that articles of i'm
rpacbment be preferred against Hon. j.
7. Sweas, judg of the Brunswick circuit,
and Hon. Seaborn Reese, judge of the
Northern circuit"
Hon. Mel Branch contended that the
committee had exceeded its powers in
bearing exculpatory> evidence, and in
making a recommendation in the case,
and offered resolution that committee
be appointed to prepare articles of i'm
peachment against Judge Sweat and to
prosecute him before the bar of the sem
ate, The resolution was tabled by a vote
of 66 to 81.
Mr.. Bartlett of Paulding then offered
a resolution that the committee had
made mistake in hearing evidence in
favor of the accused judges, and that the
pleas and evidence in their favor be
stricken from the records. On Mr.,
Feder's motion this resolution was ia
bled bp vote of Is to 40.
Mr. Fielder the moved then adoption of
the committees report.
Mr.. Boyd of McDufie moved that the
question be divided 50 as a to vote on
the report as to the two judges sepa-
rately. This was agreed to, and Mr.. Eel
der's motion that so much of the report
of the committee as relates to Judge
Reese be adopted was received with APP
plause and unanimously carried.
On Mr.. Felder's motion that the re-
port of the committee relating to Judge
Sweat be adopted, Mr.. Hogan called for
the yeas and nays. The result of the
vote was 50 for adoption against GA OPP
posed.
Among those who voted against the
adoption of the committees report were
Kendnck Of Terrell, Wight of Dougher-
ty and Duncan of Lee,
TIE itemized statement of the ex-
penSeS of the investigation committee was
then preseDted, and resolution request
ing it to be paid out of the contingent
fund by the governor Was unanimously
adopted!
The charges against Judge Gober
were brought up by Mr.. Vest of
Lowndes, who offered resolution that
they be investigated. After an exciting
debate the resolution was defeated.

She sat by the car window. gazing
out upon the unrolling scenery and nos
slbly dreaming of home and things like

About six feet away from her. across
the aisle, was an empty seat, which at
the next station was filled by a man
with sample case. He was 90 years of
age or theresbout and was quite as dap
per looking as if he were 80 and still
the knight to please every fair dame
who set her soft eyes upon him.
The lady was young and pretty, with
perhaps shade too much display in her
makeup. but still one eoald hardly say
that, for all is not gold that glitbers in
such cases-oI words to that effect.
When the man had sat down in the
vacant seat and composed himself for
the journey before him, he began to look
about to faniliarize himself with his
environments, and in the course Of his
visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the
young lady. He gave slight start as
people do when they think they see
somebody they know, and looked again.
The lady wasn't looking, of course.
But she wasn't asleep.
Not in the slightest
After minute or two or three or
four of hesitating investigation the tray
cling man, for it was he, arose and very
politely and deferentially approached
the young lady.
1t was done as if he had been practio-
ing that sort of thing ever since he had
picked up the first sample case. Either
that or he was to the manner born.
Il beg your pardon, he said as she
turned from the window to meet him
with a half startled, fawnlike move
ment not altogether unusual on such
occasions, aren't you Miss Morton of
Philadelphia"
She gave him CLASSY stare with a
raw edge on it.
You don't look like man," she re-
piled with an insolent air, "who would
try to work as old racket as that on
me- Do look so green as that"
1t was now his turn to gaze at her in
startled wonder.
"Oh, that's all right" she laughed,
moving over to make room beside her,
and I'll forgive you. You know am
not Miss Morton Of Philadelphia or any
where else, and so do I know it. But
sit down. I'm lonesome, and I'd just as
soon have pleasant libble talk with you
as not. I'm to meet mamma at the sta
ton where we take dinner. 1"
II beg your pardon, said the travel
ing man, backing away. 81 am sure if
you are not Miss Morton I have no de-
sire whatever to talk with you
Then he went back to his place, and
the flip young woman was rather in
clined to the opinion that there was at
least one man on the road who could be
mistaken honestly.

PLACE NAMES

In Massachusetts.

Some Odd and Curious Names of Places
In Massachusetts.
In the Middlesex fells some good old
colonial names are preserved, like jim
glejerry hill and Shillyshally brook.
Spot pond was named by Governor
Winthrop, who discovered it in the win
ter, because of the many rocks that
showed through the ice and spotted the
surface. Powderhorn hill in Chelsea is
said to have been bought from the In
dians for hornful of powder.
The fact of misfortune to divers I'M
Gnuwn persons-whether trivial or great
does not appear-fnds a record in Bad
Luck brook and swamp in Rehoboth,
Bad Luck mountain in Granville and
Bad Luck pond in Douglas. There may
be some association between Burncoat
brook and pond in Leicester and Spencer
and Burnshjrt river, likewise in Worces-
ter county.
Drinkwater river is felicitous name
for a stream of good water. 1t ia IL
Hanover, and possibly there may have
been a family of that name in the neigh
borhood. Strong Water brook in Tewks-
bury has quite different associations.
Sought For pond, in Westford, suggests
long and baff1ed quest for the spot
through the wilderness in the olden
days. One Of the least euphonious Of
names is Skug river in Essex and Mid
dlesex counties 1t is worthy a place
among such English names as Worm
wood Scrubs, park in London.
The legend about the names of the
group Of islands on the south coast pre-
sents an instance of how fancied resem-
blances give rise to stories. 1t is related
that these islands once belonged to a
man with four daughters To Nancy,
the oldest, the father gave the first
choice, and the fact that MAN took it,
is recorded in the name Of Nantucket,
the island she selected. Nantucket, of
course is in reality an Indian name.

islands went to Martha and Elizabeth,
respectively, while for the fourth daugh-
ter, whose name has been lost to mem
