BENEFACTORS BOTH.

Charles r. Bishop and Henry
p. Baldwin, it they never did any
other works of bsnevolence which
both are we'll known to have done,
had not made their "piles" in vain
when they drew therefrom to erect
the homes for girls and boys at
Molokai. These institutions, built
by Protestants and conducted by
Roman Catholic devotees of
charity and good works, have un.
doubtedly constituted the chief
agency in effecting a revolution in
the conditions of life generally at
Kalaupsps and Kslswao. 1t is
because of them that Father Pam
phile-after crossing oceans and
continents to take up the work
left by his lamented brother-is
enabled to say, regarding minis
trations to the bodily sufferings OF
the lepers, "There is nothing to
do" Sick young people and help
less aged ones are gathered in
most comfortable wards, within
compounds as airy as all outdoors
and beautiful with tropical fora,
while having the Sisters and
Brothers available to aid and com.
fort them at a moments call
There is therefore really nothing
left which these devoted women
and men do not accomplish, OF
such severe labors as Father Da'
mien for long years endured, in
the most repellant duties of hos
pital nursing and the arduous toll
of house to house visiting and
ministering at the bedsides of the
suffering and dying.

The suspension Of prominent
shipping and commission firm,
Williams, Brown h Co., of 3O8
Market street, caused no little
comment yesterday in commercial
circles, says the San Francisco
Chronicle of May IL. There were
no premonitory indications, no
deed of trust, no assignment for
benefit of creditors, for the reason,
as stated by those interested, that
no one in the city had authority
to sign any such documents. The
steps which wound up what YVES
considered an eminently prosper
Gus firm were taken by one who
had no further interest in the en-
terprise than the drawing of his
salary.
Manager Arthur F. Thane ran
the concern as long as he thought
there were enough sinews of war
in sight, and when bare spots
showed in the bank account he
called the creditors together.
Hence the meeting yesterday after
noon.
The firm of Williams, Brown e.
Co. has been in existence for sew
en- years. The house has had
prosperous trade, chiefly with
Australia, in canned salmon, fruits
and other Pacific Coast products.
Falk & Go. of Sydney have been
the Australian correspondents of
the firm. 1t was to see them that
Henry A. Williams, accompanied
by his wife and three little daugh.
tiers, left San Francisco on March
7. Before his departure Williams
did not say to any one that he
considered his business in such
precarious condition that an ad-
justment with his correspondents
was necessary, and it was gener-
ally understood that he was going
on an ordinary tour of business
inspection.
When Arthur f. Thane had
sent out notices to creditors of the
firm yesterday he denied himself
to all callers. The news spread
rapidly in commercial circles, but
still Thane refused to vouchsafe
information. The creditors met
behind closed doors, and when
they had adjourned Henry f.
Fortmann, president of the Alas
ks Packing Association, gave out
the following statement:
1.-THE assets and liabilities may
be stated thus: Unpledged as
sets, 100000, consisting Of goods
in the warehouse and bills re.
ceivable; liabilities, partially Sc
cured, Bank of California, $685.

debtedness, including $4,000 to

pany, Astoria, Or, S4l, 900; secur.

$24, ZOO; II. Dudley & Co., New
York, $500, and sundries, $4,000;
Compton National d'Dscompte de
Paris, S76,305.
"The creditors have done no
thing so far except to appoint a
committee to ascertain what can
be done in the premises. The
gentlemen named for that purpose
are: ID. Drysdale of the Alaska
Packing Association, A Powell of
the Bank of British Columbia, P.
E. Bowles of the First National
Bank of Oakland and s. Prentiss
Smith of the Bank of California.
Another meeting will be called
within few days and decisive
steps will be taken"

POpulst economy has become a
Josh up and down the by ways OF
the state,-but we suppose some
people are still impressed with the
belief that refOrmers really wish to
reform. One OF the amusing incl
dents in this line OF the 1891 legisla-
ture, when Kyle was elected has been
resurrected. 1t is this resolution in
the House:
"Resolved, that competent per-
son be employed to wind up our
clock once in u hours, the compen-
sation not to exceed three dollars
per day"
At the time Tie House haI Il SCI
geant, his assistant, and two iani-
tors.
The statesmen must struggle with
d liquor law Of some kind. The boys
who loye personal freedom want
a straight license law; while it is said
the prohibitiOnists want Il dispen-
sary law. Either one is likely to
produce curses not loud but deep
enough to bury several legislators
meath the subsoil OF oblivion.

Judge Palmer, the DoDulist leader
in the Senate, became enraged at
two newspaper men and determined
to crafty his personal spite by pass
ing II resolution censuring them.
The time he and the senate spent in
the matter figured up cost OF 500
to the state-and then he wanted the
whole thing expunged and done
away with. This must be reform
that is, OF the "coon-dog" variety.
1t certainly smoothing else-so itmust
be reform.
A Brule county legislator has a bill

lature might well ask, for, to all in

to meet it out in the woods alone,

Recent Battle in the Rubi Hills Of PinAr
d1a Rio Was q Bloody AhAjr.
New YORK, Dec. 9.-The Press says:
Inside information of the recent battle
in the Rubi hills, in the Cuban province
of Pinar del Rio, has just been received
in this city. 1t throws a different light
Oh this fierce engagement, in which
several hundred men were killed, from
that given cut by the Spanish, who
have been loudly proclaiming an un.
questioned victory for their side.
Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel de Car.
denas arrived in this city a week ago.
He was badly wounded while fighting
on the Cuban side. In q letter just re.
ceived by him the details Of the above
battle are given. The engagement be-
gan at dawn On Nov. ~. The Spanish
forces consisted of 5000 infantry and
1900 cavalry and guerrillas. The Gu
bans numbered 1000, in three divisions.
The Spaniards threw themselves upon
the body of Cubans under Colonel
nuasse, and at the same moment Gen.
eral Rodriguez, with the first brigade,
Caught Up With the Spanish Rear
and fierce fighting began, continuing
for several hours. The result Of the
battle might have been in doubt, had
not Colonel Pedro Diaz arrived at this
jnncture with the second division of
the Cuban forces. The Spanish artil-
lery was soon silenced and for a time it
looked like a rout, but Parade kept
his forces together and held his ground
until night. Then his men were with
drawn into Havana province, leaving
the field in possession Of the Cubans.
Of the Spanish troops, 800 were killed
and many more than that number
wounded. The Cubans captured 200 of
the Spanish troops, three pieces of can.
non, many small arms and the Spanish
standard -
The Cuban loss was likewise heavy,
but not so great; 81 were killed in bat
tie, and IL afterward died from wounds,
while almost 800 were wounded.
