The Star publishes an alleged in
terview with Mr. M. A. .Gonsalves,
which, il true, indicates that there
is big row ia the Portuguese Colo
ny. Mr.. j. M. Vivas, when seen this
morning simply smiled and said,
that he would bet that Gonsalves
didn't say one-half Of the stuff with
which the Star credits him. Mr..
Vivas said, that the differences Of
opinion among some of the Portu-
guese we're Of no interest whatever
to the English papers and OF very
little consequence anyway.

1t is characteristic of the Adver-

1t may now be safely announced
on proper authority that all diff
culties have been removed in the
path OF the arbitration between Ha-
waii and Japan. The two govern
ments have virtually agreed upon
the points to be discussed, and the
terms of the arbitration are to all
intents and purposes as suggested
by the Hawaiian Government. The
arbitrators will probably be jurists of
international repute, aud the Proto-
col is almost ready for signature at
any moment.

comes the Advertiser saying that the
ratification OF tho treaty OF annex

OF Hawaii virtually repeats the

Mr.. Carter is a political doctor prac-

shows that the Advertiser is so i'm
bued with Honolulu ideas that it
helieves, it is the license which
makes the doctor. The Bulletin
opposes Mr.. Carter's views in gen

FSon the Chicago Journal
He was In love with q young woman who lives On
the West side. and who never failed to entertain him
on the occasion OF his frequent calls, but the affair IL
broken on now.
On the occasion of his last call he took particula1
pains to make himself attractive. his avowed inten-
ton being to tel his beloved OF his alteration for her.
They sat for some time in the parlor of her homo. and
then started for q stroll in the moonlight.
After walking several blocks. during which time
neither one had said much, the young woman sud
denly stopped.
"You remind mo OF tho Venus dc Milo." she CD
claimed.
Thinking he had at last made the desired impress
sion. he smiled and thanked her for the supposed
compliment. It encouraged him. and he proposed on
the spot. but his suit was coldly rejected.
On his return home he consulted an encyclopedia,
and was deeply chagrined to learn that the Venus de
MILO was without arms.
