A FORMER FLAG RAISING
HOW OLD GLORY WAS HOISTED
OVER ALASKA.
That was Thirty-one Years Ago and
the Ceremonies were Exceedingly
Plain and Simple.

On Friday, the 18th of October, 1867,
the Russian and United States com
missioners, Captain Alexei Pestchour-
of and General l.. II. Rousseau, es-
corted by a company of the Ninth In
fantry, landed at Novo Arkhangelsl<,
or Sitka, from the United States stea-
mer John l.. Stephens. Marching to
the governors residence they were
drawn up side by side with the Rus
sian garrison on the summit of the
rock where foated the Russian flag;
"whereupon," writes an eye witness
of the proceedings, Captain Pest
chourof ordered the Russian flag to
be hauled down, and thereby, with a
brief declaration, transferred and de-
livered the territory of Alaska to the
United States; the garrison presented
arms and the Russian batteries and
our men of war fired the information
al salute; a brief reply of acceptance
was made as the Stars and Stripes
were run up and similarly saluted,
and we stood upon the soil of the
United States"
Thus, without further ceremony,
without evening banqueting or by
speech making, this vast area of land,
belonging by right to neither, was
transferred from one European race
to the offshoot of another
No sooner had the transfer been
made than General Davis demanded
the barracks for his troops. taking
possession, moreover, of all the build
ings, and this, although the improve
ments of whatever kind were un-
doubtedly the property of the Russi-
an-American Company, the Russian
government having no right whatever
to transfer them.
In "Whymper's Alaska" and in
some of the Pacific Coast newspapers
it is stated that the Russian flag,
when being lowered, chung to the
yard arm. The following version of
the affair was published at the time:
"a sailor was ordered up the flag
staff, and had actually to cut the flag
into shreds before he could take it
down. When the American flag reach
ed the top of the staff it hung life
less, until. at the first boom of the sa-
luting Russian artillery, it gave a
cOnvulsive shudder, and at the second
gun it shook out it's starry folds and
proudly foated to the breeze. From
Bancroft's History of Alaska.

of Mr.. W. NJ. Bush, clerk OF Hotel
Dorrance, Providence, X. l. He says:
For several years l have been almost
a constant sufferer from disarrhoea,
the frequent attacks completely pros
trating me and rendering me unfit
for my duties at this hotel. About
two years ago a travelling salesman
kindly gave me bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. Much to my surprise and
delight its effects were immediate.
Whenever l felt symptoms of the dis
ease would fortify myself against
the attack with a few doses of this
valuable remedy. The result has been
very satisfactory and almost complete

NICARAGUA CANAL.

SAN FRANCISCO, July S.--The fol-
lowing letter from Stephen NJ. White
to Hugh Craig, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, dated Wash
ington. ID. c., June 80, was received
yesterday:
Dear Sir: Yours of the 3Oth inst,
directed to Senator Perkins, concern
ing the Nicaragua canal, has been
submmttd by him to the California
delegation. 1t is hardly necessary to
urge us to active eXertion in behalf
of that enterprise. We are all for it,.
The commission appointed under the
provisions of the act of Congress has
not yet reported. The Senate special
committee, of which Senator Morgan
is chairman, has reported in favor of
the proceeding. The evidence taken
by that committee shows a difference
of opinion i'm the official board as to
the cost, extending from 100000. 900
to S14O.0OOO00. \ number of promi-
nent members of both houses believe
it is premature to legislate until the
report is in. Moreover, there are a
great many who think that the canal
should be absolutely under govern
ment control, and it will be necessary
to enter into diplomatic negotiations
with the Central American states in
terested before the affair can he salts
factorily concluded. SO far as | am
personally concerned | am DESTROYS
of forwarding the work, even though
we may not have the best proposition.
I advert to the foregoing facts to IL
lustrate the difficulty of the situation.
Yours truly.

STEAMER ST. PAUL.
The Latest Addition to Uncle Sans
Troopships

The st. Paul which is the latest YES
sci chartered by the Government for
the Manila expeditions, is a magnifi-
cent steel steamship, of 22O0 tons
register. She was built at the Union
Iron Words and launched on April 6,
of this year. She is -22S feet long,
with a 3S-foot beam, and has a speed
of 10 knots an hour. The Union Iron
Works had practically carte blanche
st. Paul and every feature of the
most modern marine architecture was
introduced.
There will be little repairing need
ed, as the st. Paul has had no hard
service and is ready for the putting in
of the hunks for the troops at once.
Besides plenty of bath rooms, with
hot and cold water, a notable feature
of the ship is her cold-storage rooms,
big enough to carry fresh meats,
fruits and vegetables for the round
trip. These will be highly appreciated
by the troops, as on other vessels there
has been difficulty in this regard, and
live cattle had to be taken, much to
the Inconvenience of the men.
The way matters stand now, the
First New York is to go to Honolulu
but it will not surprise army people
if orders are received from Washing
ton in a day or two to send the Eighth
California. now at Camp Barrett, to
Honolulu and assign the New York
regiment to Manila. General Otis has
very high opinion of the Eighth Cal
ifornia, and would be pleased to have
it sent to Honolulu in case it is not
ordered elsewhere.
In case the steamer Columbia is not
chartered, it is quite probable that
the regiment destined for Honolulu
will go on the City of Picking about
August 18th. The Picking together
with the City of Sydney and the Aus
tralia, are expected back from Ma
Mia about August 3rd. Senators Gull
lom and Morgan and Representative
Hit, the members of the Hawaiian
Commission, are not expected to
leave here for Honolulu before Aug
ust 10th. In case the Picking does take
troops to Honolulu, the understand
ing is that she will return here and
take other troops TO Manila.

The rule of three doth trouble me,
And fractions drive me mad"
NORMAL SCHOOL BALLADS.
Colonel Parker continued this NOR
ming his discussion of arithmetic, He
repeated his statement that we can
learn it i'm no other way that by meas
uring. He next asked, what can be
done with numbers, and answered
that they may be divided, not separ-
ated, and that we can do nothing
with a number but divide it. 1t may
be divided into equal numbers-that
is division: or into unequal numbers
that is subtraction. The division in
to equal parts he called partition.
The colonel objected to the use of
the word "times," and considerable
discussion arose on the point.
He next considered what could be
done with a number of numbers. All
we need to say is that we can unite
numbers-if we unite equal numbers
we have multiplication, II unequal
numbers we have addition.
Miss Allen will speak tonight at
Progress Hall at o'clock on "Child-
hood"
An Industrial Institute is to be one
of the fruits of the Summer School,
and Colonel Parker's visit here. The
preliminary steps for organization
were taken yesterday. The Institute
will be made up of teachers who will
join in the effort to make school study
the study of nature and life, and who
to that end will take an interest in
agricultural and horticultural work.
Colonel Parker wants General Arm
strong's name given TO the Institute.
The organizing committee is Inspec-
tor General Townsend. Mr.. Thompson
of Oahu, Mr.. Brodie of Kauai. Mr. Ka-
pohaliimohewa of Maui and Mr.. Bell
of Hawaii.

were the physical representatives of the

ot miscreants which could not have been
perpetrated If there were an efficient gov
ernmental power even in the. city of Ha-
vana alone, which Is the center of whatever
authority Spain still claims to exercise over
the island. Intervention on these grounds
is sustained by the representations which
have heretofore been made to Spain by
this government, and is not dependent
upon the existence of any. other civil gov
ernment Oh the island.
It does not include any discussion Of
whether the Cuban insurgents have es-
tabiished an Independent form of govern
n ent, and it would be Just as strong II
hereafter 1t should be discovered that the
republican government does not exist.
This is represented as being the attitude
of the President at this time. and is re-
garded as logical and strong. Still 1t IS
uncertain whether the President may not
yield to desire to be in perfect accord
with Congress, and include at the last mo-
ment a recommendation of independence.
The message is to go in to Congress to-
morrow, and it will be strong and patri-
otic document, whether the recommenda-
ton of independence is Included or not.
Independence will be the result, whatever
fern Of procedure is adopted.
