LOCAL NOTES FROM COFFEEVILLE.

While in the bustling little city O
Water Valley Sunday it was the pleas
ure OF Bran to meet those charming
young ladies', the Misses Roane and
Archibald, of Oxford.
On entering the private car of the
! Epworth Leaguers of Grenada. just as
the south-bound train. with the car
attached, was pulling out of the pro-
gressive city OF Water Valley Sunday
night, the writer of these paragraphs
discovered dainty handkerchief nes-
tied close to the door, and upon pick
ing it up it was found to be delicately
scented with some rare delicate per-
fume that suggested the name of
"Mary Stuart, ""Martha Washington
and other tirst-class brands of perfum-
cry. The handkerchief in question
was such an exquisite sample of the
many that compose the handkerchief
family that the writer is led to believe
that the young lady to whom it be-
longed was fair, not fat or forty. On
close examination several hieroglyph-
les were unearthed at the right hand
corner. These we're supposed to be
symbols representing the owners
name, but as the writer did not attend
college with the ancients, he would
respectfully ask for information that
those versed In Hieroglyphology would
come to his assistance and decipher
the name of the young lady. Will the
G. c. |. young ladies please enter the
guessing confess? The young lady
who can interpret this mystery will
receive large stick Of candy, and If
there be several successful sOlvers they
will receive sacks of peanuts.

Abolish newspaper announces new
invention made by Warsaw engineer,
who proposed to the city authorities
quite original material for street paw
ing. He uses cubes of compressed straw
instead of the wooden blocks used in
some other European countries. The
manufacture of these straw cubes is
carried on according to peculiar proc
ess. Straw is cut in pieces of a GER
tain length, impregnated with fluid,
the composition of which is secret of
the inventor, and then pressed in
blocks. The inventor buys up straw
in bales, binds them closely together
with wire, and then immerses the en-
tire bundle into ahot solution, the smell
of which indicates that several materials
like pitch, rosin, tar and other of the
same kind form part of the mixture.
These bundles of straw remain for n
certain length of time in the solution
and are then subjected to heavy pres
sure in a machine, which they leave in
the shape of ready cubes. According
to the inventor, this paving material
is cheaper than wood, but more durable
and stronger, and at the same time
more elastic. .. So

The James Makee met with streak

She was leaving Kappa about 2:30 p.

blown upon the knuckle, sticking fast.

Capt Peterson gave orders to have
the sugar discharged. Something over
200 bags was put into the w. G. Hall
and the rest was taken back to Kappa.
The Makee had her stern lightened,
and she swung around into deep water
about 5 p. m. Five hours later she
had all her cargo out, and she slid of
with her keel very badly damaged.
The Makee left for Koloa at $50 a,

SPALDING BILL
THE PROPOSED PACIFIC CABLE.
The Measure Favored by
Congressman Loud.
He Says He Thinks That Only One
Company Can Get a Land
ing in Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, December 2S.-Rep-
resentative Loud, who introduced the
Spalding Pacific cable bill recently, has
some hopes of its success and today
gave this explanation of his reason for
offering the measure: Il believe that
the only cable which can be landed in
the Hawaiian Islands at the present
time is that proposed in the Spalding
measure. 1 am assured that Spalding
alone has franchise for building an
ocean cable from the United States to
the Hawaiian Islands, with any landing
privileges. know nothing, of course,
as to what is being done in regard to
an extension beyond the Islands, but l
am assured that negotiations are now
under way. In regard to the bill which
has been reported to the House and is
known as the Scrimser bill, the plan
of that company is to land its cable at
Pearl Harbor. 1t must be remembered
however, that the cession of Pearl Har-
Dor was made to the United States for
a naval station only, and has even yet
not been completed. Even if this coun-
try did take possession, it would have
no right to permit the landing of a
cable at that point.
THE Spalding measure, l believe, is
the only one which offers an opportu-
nifty for Americans to secure control OF
means of communication with the ISL
ands. There has been so much discus
sion in relation to the growth of British
influence in the islands and talk Of a
British concession for a cable if the
| United States does not avail itself CT
the present plan that am convinced
that this measure really gives us the
last chance to secure growth of Amer
lean influence there. l have heard from
Hawaiian representatives that there
would be a tendency to turn this con-
cession over to an English company
and resultant growth of English in
fluence would follow. The cable would
be of special benefit to the Pacific
Coast, as we control substantially, the
trade with the islands"
The general opinion is that no matter
what effort is made no legislation in
favor of a Pacific cable will have any
result in this Congress. There is
enough sentiment in the House in favor
of such a measure TO insure its ras-
sage, but there is hardly any chance
of its passage through the Senate. In
formation has been received here that
many influences in the islands are al
ready being welded looking to English
predominance. One letter said that
efforts are now being made to insure
the cession of a landing to an English
company if Spalding fails to gain an
American subsidy.

CONSTANTINOPLE, December 2S
The Russian ambassador, on Satur-
day, acting in concert with the rep
resentatives of Great Britain, France,
Italy, Germany and Austria, had an
audience with Sultan Abdul Hamid,
one of many such interviews within the
past year on the same subject-5he
better administration of the affairs of
the Turkish Empire.
The Russian diplomat began by
warning the Sultan and the Turkish
Government that if the revenues ceded
for the payment of the Turkish debt
were touched, European control of The
finances of the empire would become
inevitable.
NJ. de Nelidoff, the Russian Embas-
sador, further informed the Sultan that
the Gar guaranteed his personal safe
ty and engaged himself to maintain
the Sultan's supremacy in the event
of severe measures being necessary
upon the part of the powers.
The Sultan, however, remained OBJ
durate, refusing to consent to ny
measure of control, financial or other
wise, by the powers.
The Russian ambassador said the
condition of the Turkish empire placed
the throne and the Caliphate in im,ni-
nent peril.
Thereupon Abdul Hamid remarked,
impressively: Il may be the last of the
Caliphs, but will never become sec
ond Khedive."
In addition to these warnings, NJ de
Nelidoff sent a note to the Turkish
Government and to the palace, to
which the utmost significance is st
tached in diplomatic circles. He point,
ed out in precise terms the necessity
for the Sultan following the advice OF
the powers and acting in complete
agreement with their plans for i'm
proving the situation, giving warning
once more that the Sultan's refusal
to do so would involve the most dis.
agreeable consequences.
The ambassadors of the powers viii

mendations to the Sultan and his ad.
