"Whnt has modified your opinion
since yesterday? ?" put in Arthur.
"An experiment which i have just
teen making" he replied. "You shall
see IL yourselves"
He adjusted his sspectroscope-Ik knew
what IL was, for had seen one in the
lectures at the Institute-and lit an al
'cohol lamp. A pale ribbon Of light APP
reared on the screen; it's wh.t they call
o spectrum. lie sprinlled a pinch Of
white powder upon the wick, and two
little yellow lines appeared crossing the
luminous haad,
"That is sodium" he explained, "and
will serve TO determine the relative po-
sition."
He then took from drawer what
seemed to be morsel of green, CLASSY
stone, and began TO scrape it over the
lamp. AS the fine dust he ground of
entered the flame, bright yellow line
flashed out close beside the others.
"There." he exclaimed, "tbat is in
the exact position of the line D3, and
should indicate the presence of helium.
But my specimen is hardly large
enough fo- adequate chemical analysis,
as the proportion of the unknown ele-
ment contained in this mineral is APP
parently very small. / have no hope Of
separating it unless can obtain a con-
siderable quantity of the ore, IL so ]

"Where was this specimen found"
demanded Arthur.

tain who had become interested in
mineralogy. and wished to learn its ma.

Uncle Amos is so exasperating.
OF course / sent Arthur TO ask him
lust as soon as we were engaged; but he
said: "NO."
Uncle Amos can say "no" in the most
dreadful way.
Poor Arthur gave right. up. He came
out looking like big, noble dog that's
been whipped; he could hardly keep
the tears back. He was angry, too; and
ii he hadn't been I'd never have forgiven
him.
But he was really just boiling.
"Your uncle called me an intrusive
ass, conceited idiot. crack-brained
enthusiast. and a asneakirg adventurer,
he said. "Why, Jo, he treated me like a
convicted chicken thief. He told me
that he didn't doubt / was after your

that I'd never get it while he was alive.

SAN FRANCISCO. April S.-The
steamship Monowai arrived this even
ing from Australia via Apia and Homo
lulu with the following advices:
HONOLULU. April president Dole
gave out the information today that VIM.
A. Kinney. a local lawyer, had been Sc
lected to go to Washington as an annex
alton commissioner. He is to leave here
on the 7th inst. The mail on the 30th
ult. brought this government some in
side information on the annexation
question and it is expected that the i'm
portant matter will be brought before the
present session of congress. At present
Attorney-general Smith and A. S. Hart
we'll are in Washington in the interests
of political union. What they have ac-
complished this government only knows
and officials decline to give out anything.
The steamer Gaelic. which is due to ar
rive here on the Sd. will have on board
the new Chinese embassy on their way
to Washington. The party is a large
one and the Gaelic is especially char
tered by the Chinese government to car
ry them. so there will be no accommo-
dations for other passengers.
When the Gaelic was chartered for the
embassy 1t was with the understand
ing that a stop of two days be made
at this port to enable the party to pay
visit here. They will be disappointed
on arriving here to find the gates closed
against them, for the board of health
has decided that no vessel coming from
an infected port can land passengers
here until they have complied with the
regulation requiring complete isolation
for a period of eighteen days.
c. A. Spreckels. who controls the
spreckelsville plantation, has discharged
every white man on the place, with the
exception of two, and has put Orientals
in the places of the dismissed men. An
attempt to reduce expenses is given as
the reason.
H. b. NJ. ship Wild Swan arrived on the
2Sth ult., fifteen days from Victoria.
The missionary steamer Morning Star
arrived one day later, forty three days
from the South Seas.

Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
Of the California Associated Cycling
clubs have made the following an
nouncement:
The California Associated Cycling
clubs have assumed control of cycle
track racing in the state of California.
They have been impelled to this step
by the refusal OF the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen, the hitherto accepted
governing body in California OF this
branch of sport, to recognize existing
conditions in this state and to adopt its
rules thereto. The articles framed by
the Associated clubs for the government
of racing accept the amateur definition
OF the various amateur athletic organi-
cations of America. Clubs are permit
ted to pay the legitimate expenses OF
their members engaging in contests
where there is no prize other than an
interclub trophy and there is no limit
to the distance from their homes within
which amateurs may compete. THESE
rulings will permit clubs in all parts Of
the state to send their representatives
to those interclub amateur contests Oh
the road which the Associated clubs
have made classic and to those like con-
tests which will in future be also pro-
NOTED on the track. Sanctions for track
meetings will be issued for any day.
There are no restrictions in this respect.
Acts which would professionaIize rider
if committed in connection with roa1
racing. The value of a prize for which
an amateur may compete on the road is
limited to $35. The track and road rae
ing committees will recognize and en-
force each others rulings and suspen-
sions. The track and road racing rules
will be printed and ready for distribu-
tion at an early day.
Riders are warned that by engaging
in track racing anywhere in the state
of California at meetings not sanctioned
by the California Associated Cycling
clubs they render themselves liable 20
suspension from track and road events
sanctioned or promoted by the Associ-
ted clubs
Applications for track sanctions
should bemade' to r. NJ. Welch. chair
man track racing committee, No. 552
California street, San Francisco.
The track and road racing committees
are authorized to assume direction of
racing in any state or territory where
they may be invited to do go. The Cali
fornia Associated Cycling clubs are not
seeking to extend their sway, preferring
to enter into friendly alliance with like
organizations, but they will not refuse
to admit to their jurisdiction the racing
men of neighboring states who may de-
sire to avail themselves Of such protec-
tion.

VANCOUVER. April S.-The Empress
Of India arrived today from the Onew,
bringing the story of horrible murder
from Bangkok. A young girl was
caught in the act of eloping with her
lover and confined in house by rela-
tives. who broke every bone in her body
as punishment. The woman fingered in
fearful agony fourteen days. Two men
and woman were sentenced to death
for her murder and were beheaded. The
execution was a most barbarous affair
The headsman was drunk. and the con-
victed wretches were slashed in the
most fearful manner before death re-
lleved them of their sufferings.

KANSAS BRIBERY
No Lack of Material for Investiga-
ton


TOPEKA, Kas., April S.-The special
committee appointed by the Populist
majority of the state legislature to in
vestigate charges of bribery and cor
ruption noised about during the recent
session of the states lawmakers, got
down to business today and the very
first sitting of the committee developed
enough charges of bribery and wrong
doing TO set political circles throuy6out
Kansas agog.
Henry Lands, warden of the state
penitentiary at Lansing, unbottled the
first sensation when he stated that he
had been urged by a member of the
legislator to recommend the purchase of
additional coal lands adjacent to taA
penitentiary property, though he was
convinced that the state had no use ror
such lands. Warden Lands had been
told that there would be $25,000 in it. =
When pressed for further particulars
Warden Lands stated that he had this
conversation with Ex-Governor l.. u.
Llewelling. He added, however, that
Llewelling had not stated who was to
benefit by the $4,000, whether the ste te
or others, and he also reminded the coz.
mittee that no bill for the purchase OF
such lands had been introduced.
But this was mild as compared to the
sensation which followed, when Repre-
sentative Metzler of Sheridan county
| testified that he had been offered $3.50 10
vote against the Hackney amendment

The Clark Road Bill

SANTA ROSA. April S.--The Clark
road bill, recently approved by Gov
ernor Budd, which takes the control and
management of roads out of the hands
of supervisors, is creating much dis
cussion and comment here. The Sonoma
supervisors recently purchasd number
of road sprinklers and made prepara-
tfons to do systematic road work. They
claim that the new law will greatly dis
arrange all their plans, retard all per-
nlanent road building and set the coun-
ty back thirty years in progress. Many
think the new law unconstitutional be-
cause it conflicts with the county gov
ernment act.
