UNDER SEALED ORDERS.

Did Admiral Beardslee Sail ont of san
DiegO-Provisions Etc.
The cruiser Philadelphia will sail
this afternoon for Honolulu, on an un-
known mission which may make his
tory for the Islands, says the San Die
go Union of April Sth. Sealed orders
were received yesterday by Rear Ad-
miral Beardslee, to be opened after
the vessel is we'll at sea.
No Commissioner or Minister will
accompany the flagship, which leaves
it to be inferred that the Admiral has
been empowered with authority to deal
with any situation that develops at Ho
nolulu. Sealed orders are generally
given where it is desired to keep the
destination of the vessel secret, but in
this case there has been no attempt to
deny that the Philadelphia was going

STILL THEY COME.
Another Boat VIII start for south
Sea Islands.


Sea Islands.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April s.
Another South Sea Island scheme Is
under consideration The South Sea
Island Trading Company is being or
ganized to make a venture for wealth
and happiness. st. Johns Island. one
of the Solomon group, is the objective
point of the new organization.
Capt. Paul Busch, leader of The en-
terprise, has about completed negoti-
ations for the purchase of the bark
Simpson, now lying in Oakland creek.
The Simpson is about 800 tins, and IL
is proposed to fit her up between decks
in much the same way that the old
passenger sailing vessels were before
steam vessels took the emigrant bust
ness away from sailing vessels. Com
Portable Accommodations can be made
in this way for $50 or 200 men, and
still leave room for large cargo, be-
sides provisions for year.
The plans include the trading and
commercial idea as well as the coloni-
zation scheme. 1t is intended to take
a cargo suitable for trading in the ISL
ands.
Captain Busch sailed the seas for q
years, but for some years past he has
conducted shipping office at 539 Cali
fornia street. He has received appli-
cations from people who wish to join
the enterprise from points as far dis
tant as st. Louis and New Orleans. A
woman writes from Boston to say that
she would like to join, and if necessary
she would disguise herself as a man.
1t is proposed that every one who
owns stock in the corporation must go
with the expedition, and that no one
shall own more than one share, so that
all will be on equal terms.

to Honolulu. The reason for giving
sealed orders is therefore unknown, but
ii is conjectured that they contain the
final instructions TO Admiral Beardslee
for his guidance in case of emergency
at the Islands.
The Philadelphia has 1900 tons of
coal on board, and besides the regular
supplies for year, has an extra guam
tity of stores, calculated to last six
months. She has a full equipment of
ammunition, not only for her own
guns, but for those of the Marion and
Petrol. The flagship is in first-class
fighting trim, though not capable Of as
great speed as if her hull had been
newly scraped. But she remains the
fastest war vessel on the Pacific, and
can easily overhaul anything she goes
after.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April with the
magic of his famous fathers name
aided by the Independent split in the
regular Republican ranks and the
f1ocking of the discontented laboring
class to the standard of silver Democ-
racy, Carter Henry Harrison was elect
ed Mayor of Chicago today, and a
great Democratic triumph was record
ed. The $4,000 plurality of Mckinley
over Bryan was turned into a Demo-
cratic plurality of about $4,000 over
Judge Nathaniel G. Sears, the machine
Republican candidate for Mayor The
almost complete mayoralty returns
show that Harrison polled a plurality
of about $4,000 over the next best man,
Alderman John NJ. Harlan, Republic

himself.
The late returns indicate that the
Democrats will have 80 Aldermen out
of Sc in the Council. Twenty-eight of
the Democratic candidates are proba-

Democratic hold-over Aldermen, will
give that party a majority in the legis-

NEW YORK, April 4-The Worlds
Havana special says: The prevailing
belief is that General Rivera will not
be shot. An order is said to have come
from Madrid to spare his life. This
action is not prompted from motives
of humanity, but to make a good im-
preston upon the United States and
other nations. General Weyler is fu-
rious, it is reported, and may cause
the order to be withdrawn, in which
case General Rivera would be put to
death.
A courier brings report from the
insurgents that General Rivera had
received orders from General Gomez
TO turn over his command to General
Roloff and was about to report to Gen

Days to the Coast.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. April s.
The U. S. S. Alert, Captain Hanford
commanding, arrived from Honolulu
yesterday morning after a trip of 13
days. The vessel was at the Hawaiian
Islands nearly four months, and ii was
expected that she would remain there
a longer time. Department orders ar
rived, however, for the Alert to pro-
ceed to this port as soon as relieved by
the United States steamer Marion.
That old vessel reached Honolulu two
days before the Alert left. Just as the
Marion reached Honolulu her engines
broke down, and a tug was signaled
to bring her into port.

An editor of a western newspaper
is mourning the loss of two sub
scribers. The one wanted to know
how to rear his twins safely, while
the other wanted to know how to
rid his orchard of grasshoppers.
The answers went forward by mail,
but by accident he transposed them
into wrong envelopes, so that the
man with the twins received this
answer: Cover them with straw
and set fire to it, and the little
pests, after jumping in the flames
for a few minutes will speedily
settle" while the man plagued with
the grasshoppers was told to "give
castor oil and rub their gums with
4 bone"
