A pleasant social event of last week
was the party given by Miss Clara Bien
on Saturday afternoon at her home in this
city. The party was composed of Misses
Clark and Turrell of Butte, Miss Elliott
Of Race Track, and large number of
Deer Lodge yonng ladies. Miss Bond,
who was also Miss Bien's guest, was
called to Anaconda the day before the
party on account of the serious illness of
her brother. A delicious lunch was
served and the young ladies enjoyed the
afternoon to the fullest extent.

time fixed for their marriage. and on his burial
at Clevedon Church. The poem concludes with

| It Is we'll known that the war poems written at
this period made q deep impression, not only on
the soldiers In the Crimea, but also ON the Eng
lish people at home. When Tennyson went to
Oxford in April, 1855, to receive his D.. c. l.,
there went up from the undergraduates a great
shout for I'm Memoriam." one for Alma" and
one for "Inkermann.' In July OF the same
year the last touch was put to Maud" 1t Is

author read 1t. whereupon he publicly recanted

CARRESP0N-
JAPANESE
DENCE.
THE

The Government still declines
to give to the public any informa-
ton about the latest cOrrespon-
dence with the japanese Foreign
Office. There are rumOrs running
about town, like mOngoose III a
canefeld, to the effect that the
japanese Government accepts arbi-
tration, but at the same time ''cuts
its throat" it VIII arbitrate, but
fastens upon it impossible condi-
tons; that it is the case of the
lunatic who was invited to dine,
and wrote in reply: "Your inyi-
tation to dinner is cordially accept
ed, but, of course, there will be no
dinner"
We would be glad to give our
readers on the other Islands an ac-
curate statement of the situation,
but cannot. The japanese Govern
ment is now credited, in America,
and in Europe, with taking fair
and upright course, fully abreast
of the most advanced views on in
ternational disputes. If the ru-
mors are correct, this credit can
hardly be given. At the same
time, it is mere speculation for us
to discuss the terms of the reply.
Serious consequences are
probably involved, as might have
been expected from the beginning.
But the war cloud, created by lingo
imaginations has passed over. The
United States are not quite so will
ing to take the dispute off our
hands. They are ready to annex
us, but with no encumbrances-a
marriage-but the wife's relations
not wanted.
The case is now in diplomacy,
and that usually means procrastln-
alton. Time is a wonderful sol
vent of difficulties. Many a seri-
Gus dispute has been settled in Eu-
ropean diplomacy by gaining
time" The Japanese Government
NAV not be disinclined to allow
Time to do It's work in this case.

SUGAR BETS AGAIN.

The American Agriculturist
saws: "But for the Hawaiian I'M
certainty, the new sugar tariff
would be fairly encouraging to
farmers and capitalists wishing to
engage in the domestic industry.
The new law provides no bounty
for the domestic producer, but by
allowing the free admission of SUI
gar from the Islands gives the Ha-
waiian monopolists a bounty of
more than 1 LIE per pound. This
and the danger that the Islands
will be annexed by action of Con-
gress next December are the in
fuences that retard the rapid de-
velopment of our sugar beet in
dustry."
The Agriculturist is probably in
error. Hawaiian sugar is not yet
a factor in the sugar industry of
the States. 1t may be SO in the flu
ture, but it is not at present. The
failure of a large sugar beet fac
tory in Wisconsin indicates that
there is no royal road for the sugar
beet men in America. Before
them is a great and general sue
cess in the business, only thorough
knowledge and experience must be
had Getting this costs money.
There will be scores of disasters,
much encouragement, some reac-
ton, and, finally, after some years,
general success.
The recent analyses of the SUI
Gar beets in Anaheim, Cal, show
ing averages of nearly 90 per cent
of saccharine matter, show that
the industry in that State will
prosper in any event. We are
served with full notice of the fact
and must make the best of it. But
the rivalry will not come to close
quarters for several years, and, in
deed, with annexation, may not
come at all.

THE JUBILEE MISSION.

1t is rather singular that our
friends, the iingoes, did not Bit
terly oppose the mission of Mr..
Damon to the Queens Jubilee.
Why should the Republic tender
to this estimable Sovereign good
wishes, if it is true that for half
century she, as the supreme head
of ''perfdious Albion has been
wickedly trying to steal these ISL
ands; to put them into her pocket
when no one was looking on; al
ways patiently holding scoop net
ready to feloniously 4and the little
Hawaiian mullet; and, besides,
giving no end of trouble to Uncle
Sam, who has been compelled to
keep his eye, day and night, over
this royal kleptomaniac, as the jim
goes believe, of Islands and terri
tory?
After over half a century of
grossly improper conduct towards
us, as the jingoes claim, did the
comfy of nations require us to
send her greetings with hypocrit-
zeal good will? To profess the pro
foundest respect for a royal Soy
ereign who has been engaged in
the nefarious business of robbing
us of our birthrights?
No novelist, even, would permit
his hero to enter the precincts of
one who had tried to rob him of
his watch, and generously wish him
long life, health and prosperity.
1t is possible that Mr.. Damon's
mission is the result of a humorous
freak on the part of the jingoes.
When Hawaii finds herself nearly
safe in the stalwart arms of Broth
err Jonathan, after a long and dan
gerous chase by the said perfidious
Person, she may gracefully turn
to her pursuer, and with CURLY
irony kiss her fingers and sweetly
say: ''Better luck to you next
time" Our jingoes are humorous,
if. not serious. Mr.. Damon has
done his part well.

sHERMAN,s NOTE TO JAPAN
Minister Hoshi acknowledges II
Receipt of the Document.

Minister Hoshi acknowledges the
Receipt of the Document
WASHINGTON, August 21.-Secre-
tary Sherman has received prompt ac-
acknowledgement from Minister Hoshi OF
Japan TO the Secretary's letter Of last
Saturday, relating to the annexation
of Hawaii 10 the United States. Mr..
Hoshi's acknowledgment is formal and
does not go into the merits of the sub
ject, as the answer to Secretary Sher-
mans last note will not be made pub
lie until word comes from the Japan
csc Foreign Office.
Previous dispatches contained all of
the features of Secretary Sherman's
note, with one exception, namely:
Japan's prior note referred incidental
ly to reports that majority Of the in
habitants of Hawaii did not favor an
nexation. Mr.. Sherman's answer takes
issue with this statement, and urges
at some length that the prepOnderance
of influence in Hawaii is favorable to
the annexation of the Islands to the
United States.
Aside from this and the approval ex-
pressed of the plan of arbitration be-
tween Japan and Hawaii on the immi-
grafton question, the Sherman note is
an enlarged argument of Mr.. Sher-
mans former letter, stating the atti-
tude of the United States as favor
able to annexation. The report that
Mr.. Sherman did not enter into an ar
gument, as it would be a reopening of
the case with Japan, is not correct, as
the Secretary's note is very full ar
gument on the entire question involved.
