LATEST NEWS FROM HAWAII.
No Change In the Status of the Annexation
Problem.

No change In the Status OF the Annexation
Problem.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The last Ha-
waiian mail to reach the state depart
ment brings the record of events on
the islands up to the 21st of last month;
but as the news of the failure of the
senate to act upon the annexation
treaty had not reached Honolulu, there
was no change in the status of the an
nexation problem to present. Minister
Sewau told in detail of the develop
ment of the diplomatic correspondence
between Japan and the Hawaiian gov
eminent growing out of the labor con-
troversy, and reports that, in the opin-
ION of the best-informed people on the
islands, the Japanese government will
be amply content with a recognition
by the Hawaiians of the principle for
which they contend, without insisting
upon substantial pecuniary damages.
1t was also reported that the future
conduct of the negotiations had been
transferred entirely from Honolulu to
Toxic. No reference whatever was
made in the dispatches to the reported
intention to establish protectorate.
Admiral Miller sails from San Fran
cisco Friday for Honolulu, where he
will relieve Admiral Beardslee of the
command of the Pacific station. AS
the former had long interviews while
in Washington with the president and
Secretary Long. It is not doubted that
he has full instructions for dealing
with any emergency that may arise in
the islands.

Caught In the Act, is Arrested and Makes
Full Written Confession.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-During the
progress of the count and weighing OF
the silver in the vaults of the treasury
yesterday, incident to the transfer OF
the government funds to the new
United States treasurer, Thomas Mar
tin, of this city, a colored laborer, en-
gagged in handling the bags was ar.
rested upon a charge of abstracting
silver from the vaults. A shortage OF
SO was found last Monday in the
weight of one of the bags. Another
shortage of SIS was found yesterday
and, as Martin was suspected, q watch
was put upon him when he left the
vaults during the noon rest.
After leaving the vault Martin went
into the sub-basement where there is
pile of frewood and hid the IS silver
dollars among the sticks AS soon as
he had left the cellar the light was
turned on and the money discovered.
The case was put into the hands of
Chief Hazen of the secret service, who
placed Martin under arrest and took
him to his office, where he made a
written confession. Slugs of lead
were put into the bags to balance the
weight of the coin distracted. Martin
had been a helper at eight reweighings
of the treasury cash and never before
was suspected of wrongdoing. The
whole amount taken was S3S, of which
Martin had spent 50. so, the remainder
being recovered.
The penalty in this case is term in
the penitentiary of from one to ten
years and a fine of not more than SIS, 900,
or both.

GRADING OF FLOUR
To be Superseded I'm the New York Market
by Selling by samples

To be Superseded I'm the New York Market
by Selling by Samples.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The flour trade
of the New York produce exchange
will meet next Friday afternoon to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of abolishing
the present standard of grading all
fiours below extra No. 1 and inspecting
-four as to soundness and uniformity.
In other words -four now selling arbi-
trarily by grade will be sold by sample
as in most other big markets of the
country. By adopting this method it
is expected to increase materially the
volume of business at this point. The
grading system has been particularly
obnoxious; for instance, in the case of
Kansas flour, which, although nomi-
naIly a winter wheat quality, is al
most identical with spring wheat
grades, and under the proposed rule
could frequently be sold by sample on
a similar basis

mInent Jeopardy.
WASHINGTON. Aug. In his last re-
port to the surgeon-general of the hos
pital service, DIR. Bruner, sanitary in
spector for the service at Havana,
iwells upon the probability of a rapid
increase of yellow fever among
the Spanish sailors He says
that up to recent date there were no
cases among the sailors of the Spanish
navy, but that lately several have ap-
peared. He attributed this to the fact
that some of the warships have gone
TO the navy yard, which is in close
proximity to the military hos
pital. and the Tallipiedra wharf,
which is in bad condition.
There are" he says, seven or eight
war vessels now in the harbor, and
their complement must aggregate 800
men, many of whom, 1 learn, are not
acclimated. This being true, they will
be doubly exposd to the danger of con.
tracing the disease"

MODERN IMPROVEMENTS.


How these things of strange creation
Linked with lightning leap and CLEAN:
How this hurrying generation
Beats the painting age of steam!
with the pace that we are setting
'Tisn't often that we find
Any leisure for regrettng
Pleasures that are left behind.
But, like perfume from letter
Laid away in olden days,
Comes a thought that life was better
Ere we found our present ways
They We're joys we should have cher
iShed;
Now for them we vainly yearn-
Cream whose richness had not perished;
Butter that had known the churn.
Turn, ye engines and devices;
Bear US to some pristine spot
Whore no avariCe entices
Men to name things which are not!
Where maple syrup trusty
Has history some one knows:
Where you see the miller dusty;
Where the buCkwheat really grows!

A RECOLLECTION.

1t was indeed a perfect day,
| scarce recall the weather;
But autumn calm and bloom of May
Seemed mingled there together.
Then melody made sweet the hours;
Each sentence was ballad
The rocks We're jewels; weeds We're
flowers,
When Mary dressed the salad.
No vernal scene whose Establishment
WIN welcomely beset us,
Can have the fascination lent
BY that small sprig of lettuce.
And vanly must musicians toll
From stage or festal wagon,
For tones like those with which the oil
Came lettering from the flagon.
Strange how these observation-disclosures
mar
Each once-alluring SAVIOR!
How tasteless is the vinegar!
How dun the peppers flavor!
Oftimes when sterner moods are
planned
Those memories come pressing;
That salad day; the sunshine and
The girl who made the dressing

electrical and other branches of industry
since 1887 will be illustrated there. New
castle is well chosen for this purpose,
because not only is 1t a great center of
manufacturing industry but 1t is repre-
sentative of many of those interests
which have grown most notably since
1887 Beginning in April, a similar eXhi-
bition Will be held at Blackpool. This
exhibition will be less representative of
the mechanical advance in England than
of the growth of the country in other di-
rections.
Since 1887 the increase in the population
of England, including Wales, has been
from 100000 to 29,000,O00 The popula-
tion of Scotland in 1887 was 100000, is
now 4,000 0O0 but ireland, which had at
that time a population of S0oO,OW, has
now only 4,700000 From 1887 to 1897 the
population of London has increased from
100000 to 100000. Liverpool has grown
from 100000 to G00,0 600; Manchester, from
22O, coo to 100000, and Newcastle, where
the first of the celebrations is to be held,
from $1,000 to $4,000. The commerce of
England has increased in even greater
ratio and the material wealth of England
has more than doubled during the sixty
years. But the value of land, particu-
larly agricultural land, outside of the
great cities, is less now than it was sixty
years ago, and the failing off is so great
as to offset even the increase in some of
the large cities.
