All that was mortal of Albert George
Sidney Hawes, H. B. MS Commits

rest yesterday forenoon in Nuuanu
| Cemetery with most impressive cere-
monies. The streets presented a Sab
| bath-day appearance, for the business
houses closed early in the morning and
remained so until after the procession.
Shortly after o'clock detachment
of 100 British sailors and marines, in
charge of Lieutenant Pasco, Lieuten-
ant Mares and Lieutenant Nawis, came
ashore from H. B. MS S. Penguin and
marched out King street to the late

Inside the dwelling Mrs. T. Rain
Walker, Mrs. w. H. Baird, Mrs. Paul
Neumann and several other ladies
were engaged receiving the large num-
Der of floral designs sent to the house
by friends of the deceased. The casket
containing the body reposed on stand
in the library. The British flag was
draped over the foot and on top of
nations, and on tolp of the wreath
were two sago palm branches tied with
white satin ribbon. At the head was
a smaller wreath Of delicate lavender
flowers and stephanotis. Around the
room numberless offerings were artis-
tically grouped by the ladies in
charge.
Promptly at $50 the coffin bearers
marched into the grounds, and later
emerged with the casket and deposited
it in the hearse, the military and sail
ors saluting. Vice-Consul Walker and
Captain Field. of H B. MS S. Pen
guin, chief mourners, drove out the
gate, Lieutenant Pasco gave the COM
mand and the cortege moved slowly
down King street. The sidewalks were
crowded with people, anxious, both to
catch a glimpse of the casket and to
show respect to the memory Of the
man they respected, even though they
were personally unknown to him.
AT ST ANDREWS CATHEDRAL.
Long before the hour 10 o'clock
announced for the funeral, the inter-
ior of ST. Andrews Cathedral pre-
sented a very animated appearance. A
large number of ladies were present as
early as o'clock, arranging most
beautiful flowers in and around the
chancel, near to where the remains
would rest when they were brought
into the Cathedral. The floral offerings
were simply magnificent, and came
from all classes, who had admired and
respected the dead Commissioner in
life The stands on which the body
rested were draped with an English

Punctually at 10 o'clock the body
arrived at the main entrance to the
Cathedral, where it was met by the
Rev. Vice-Dean osborne and the Rev.
Alex. Mcintosh. Softly came the
strains of a funeral dirge from the
organ, while the choir took its place
in the chancel. AS the remains were
carried slowly up the center aisle by
eight sailors from II. M. S. Penguin,
the Rev. Dean osborne read the SEN
tences, commencing: Il am the resur-
rection, ETC." When all had taken their
seats, the Rev. V. II. Kitcat commenced
to intone the Thirty-ninth Psalm, the
surpliced choir responding with every
being played very softly. Then fol-
lowed the hymn:
Peace, perfect peace, death shadow
ing us and ours.
Jesus has vanquish'd death and all
it's powers"
This was beautifully sung by the
following members of the choir of the
Mrs. Ross, the Misses Halstead, Batch

This was followed by the Rev. Alex.

The starosta evidently failed to notice
tAe CONSERVATION that his visit had pro-
duced.
Pardon, a thousand pardons, your
honor" he exclaimed volubly, address
ing Poussin, who had pushed his way
to the front. 81 am sorry that must
disturb you, but really have no choice,
as your honor can readily see for your
self. This is government position, you
know, and of course I must be very
careful
''What are you talking about?" inter-
rupted Poussip angrily, glancing aslant
at his companions, who mad edged acros
the room. Speak and explain your
self"
"Why, don't you know" said the
starosta in a surprised tone. 'Didn t
you hear the noise and see the COssaCks
in the yard? His exoellency the govern
ment inspector will be here i'll an hour
or two, and this room must be made
ready for him. He was not expected so
soon, but it seems that he fears the
warm weather will set in before be

from st. Petersburg. This is the com
mander of the Cossack advance guard,
who always precedes his excellency
some miles" And the starosta indicated
the officer at his side, who at once NUT
tered out an apology for disturbing
the travellers at their rest.
Back in the shadow of the wall Pla-
toff and Maurice drew a sigh of relief
that was audible in the doorway. Pous-
sin, too, was overcome by the sudden
transition from despair to hope, but he
retained his self possession admirably
and replied with a well assumed touch
of Indignation:

suffer these Inconvenience, but since it

yellow glare was shining into tBsNroom,
and, rushing to the window, he saw a
dozen mounted Cossacks standing in
the station yard.
Two or three peasants were holding
blazing torches, and fast increasing
crowd was pouring in at the gates. At
that instant Maurice felt hand ON his
shoulder, and, turning, he saw Platof.
"Lostr Kissed the Russian. ave are
betrayed. The soldiers are seeking us.
Look at that scoundrelp And he point
ed to the starosta, who was standing at
one side conversing with the captain of
the Cossacks.

ing across the room, he tore his pistol
from his coat.
Maurice, pale and trembling, turned
from the window.
"Quickp' exclaimed Platoff. Follow
me. We may escape through the rear.
He moved toward the door as he spoke,
but before he could reach it Nicolas
Poussin came sleepily forward.
"Ha! How's this? What does all this
noise mean?" he asked.
Platoff dragged him to the window
and pointed to the soldiers in the yard.
"They are seeking u.s." he said.
"Some wretch has put them on our
track. 1t is not too late yet to escape,
provided way is open in the rear. My
only fears are for your safety. How can
you explain? How can you extrioate
yourself from your perilous position?"
lido not believe the soldiers are here
for that purpose, said Poussin in a
calm voice, but the pallor of his face
belied his words. Il advise you to wait
before you attempt anything RASH.
"They are coming" cried Platoff, as
footsteps We're heard in the next apart
ment, and, rushing to the door, he prop
ped his huge frame against it, calling
OH Maurice to assist.
BE careful, be carefulp' said Pous-
sin nervously. Don't go TOO far"
A sharp rat-tat-tat was heard ON the
panels, and, as no one answered, the IA
miliar voice of the starosta called ON
them to open.
With sudden change of demeanor
Platoff seized the handle and flung the
door far back.

vealed the starosta and burly captain

CHAPTER XIII.
Pursuit AND ESCAPE.


Platoff's brave deed would probably
have resulted disastrously had it not
been for the presence of mind which
prompted him to drag his companions
to the bottom of the sledge. This, mo
doubt, saved their lives, for although
the bullets whistled by ON all sides no
one was struck.
When the firing ceased, Platoff rose
to his feet and looked back. The lights
of the military post had vanished be-
hind a slight crest In the village be-
yond, which was on somewhat higher
ground, few scattered lights could be
seen.
"Are they coming?" asked Poussin
as he rose and climbed on the seat.
"No," said Platoff; 81 can't hear
any sounds of pursuit. They have no
horses, you know"
"All seems quiet behind u.s." said
Maurice, who was leaning over the
back seat.

Phil poked his head and shoulders from
under the rugs.
Platoff briefly explained what had
just taken place and then turned his
attention to the horses, which mad stuck
to the road in spite of the lack of guild
ance, and were dashing forward at a
tremendous pace.

of the Whip he spurred the horses to
still greater efforts.
"Stopl" said Platoff. For your own
safety you must put us off by the road.
Your peril is too great already. 1t will
be increased if you are caught in our
company. Put us off right here, and
we can easily escape to the hills"
"No," replied Poussin; 81 will do
nothing of the kind. AT present there
is no danger. The military outpost is
nearly half mile from the post station
in the village. To give the alarm it is
necessary for one of the soldiers to go
there on foot OF course the Cossacks
will at once start in pursuit, but their
horses are pretty well worn out, while
ours are fresh. The next station is 90

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 13.-Henry
Bratnober, the mining expert, who is
known throughout the United States
from his connection with the Explora-
tion Company of London, has returned
from the Klondike His mission was to
ascertain if an opportunity presented
itself for investment. He says:
II found some very good placer
mines, but not as sensational in the
richness as has been reported. In many
cases the claims are comparatively poor,
although almost any Of them will pay
wages. Because one claim is very rich
is no reason why an adjoining one
should Ibe equally good. On the con-
trary the near neighborhood of rich
claim is generally not worth much.
There are few summer diggings in the
Klondike, that is, those which can be.
worked by the ordinary sluicing pro-
cess. Most of the bedrock is 18 or 10
feet below the surface and the earth is
frozen solid except the 18 inches or Q
feet which thaws in the summer. On
the whole the Klondike may be classed
as very good diggings and should say
there is good chance for other dis
coveries this fall.

impossible at the present time, owing to
the difficulties to be overcome.

.sThere are 46l claims which have

they will prove equal to the other 461.
