Psychological Pastel In Prose.

George Winter woke up on morning
when the atmosphere was cold The very
first thing of which he was conscious was
that strange undefinable feeling with
which we are all of us more or less IA
miliar. 1t was that something vaguely
unpleasant was about to happen. There
was no acute foreboding nor actual pain
in the feeling: merely an underlying idea,
as it were. of negative emotion. Just
the sense of a sensation. Further than
this he could not analyze 1t, but in half
dreamy kind of way he endeavored, If
possible, to account for it. The way to
do that was to go over every concefva-
BILE source of uneasiness. 1t struck him
as rather a huge undertaking, but he
commenced, nevertheless. Was there any
debt he found 1t difficult to pay? Yes.
there was--but, hold, Smithers had told
him there was no rush about that ten.
so that was not it. His family all well?
Yes, there was nothing to bother about
regarding them. Then the girl to whom
he was engaged-had he not parted from
her the previous evening on the best
terms? Why, certainly. What then, was
the cause of the strange presentimental
sensations that was occupying his mind?
What-what was it? George Winter was
now more thoroughly awake, and. still
thinking deeply, his eyes wandered round
the room. They rested upon the clock,
which was beating the air with Its usu-
al ticking. And then he suddenly real
lied the cause of his peculiar feeling that
something unpleasant was about to hap
pen. 1t was time to get up.-Criterion.

has had to build practically new struc-

to center in Glory Quayle and John Storm,
and the motive is the love existing be-

THE CRUISER BUFFALO
 ARRIVES FROM BRAZIL
To Be Overhauled at Once at Newport News and Mounted With
 Rapid Fire Guns

WASHINGTON, June 7.-The cruiser Buffalo, lately the Nictheroy of the Bra gillian navy, arrived in Hampton Roads to-day directly from Brazil. The vessel, 1t is learned, is not yet actually on the United States naval lists. She has been acquired subject to conditions that will be doubtless strictly fulfilled by the Bra gillian Government, but which have not been met They are that the ship must be turned over In good condition as to hull and machinery. The ordnance will be sup piled by the United States Government in the shape of ten-inch rapid-fire guns, now ready to put in the ship.
 The machinery of the Buffalo is known to be in bad shape, but just to what ex- tent is not, known here. The ship will be ready for delivery to the Government. Meanwhile the work of putting her in in News. The Buffalo was not obliged, like the Oregon, to make detour in reaching enemy, because, being manned by Bra gillian crew, and not yet the property of the United States, she was not subject to attack.

TALK OF HOSTING
 THE AMERICAN FLAG
Hawaiian Annexationists Scheme to Force Their Way Into the
 Union of States.

HONOLULU, May 31.-Sunday last was a memorable day for Hawaii, and one never to be forgotten by the par ticipants in the interesting events. As the church bells were ringing their calls for morning service the five shrill blasts of the whistles of the electric light works aroused all from their prepar- ations and emptied the early going churches of their congregations. This was the signal for the approach of the United States steamship Charleston.
 The people at once turned out en masse and rushed pell-mell through the streets, one blaze of American and Hawaiian flags, to the water front, and there they gathered along the wharves and on every available slip and on every spot of advantage by the thou sands; all wearing the tricolor in one device or the other
 The executive and reception commit tees of the grand committee of welcome, after very brief delay, boarded the gayly bedecked w. c. Hall, an Inter Island Company's steamer, and with the United States Consul-General and the Government band on board pro- ceeded out to sea, and abreast of Walk ilIi met the Charleston and escorted her into port. What need to speak of the thunderous welcome of cheers and those in reply; or of the intense enthusiasm that prevailed! The heart of welcome was there as true as 1t will be when the victorious troops return home through the Golden Gate laurel crowned.
 The first object that attracted the at tention of those on board the Charles ton was an immense American flag which puzzled them greatly. They thought of annexation in some myster- ious way; of revolution or telegraphic communication.
 Honolulu is now hourly expecting the City of Picking and her consorts and is prepared to welcome them in any manner the commander of the expedi- ton deems advisable.
 The political sentiment is dead for for this epoch in our lives we are will Ing to risk the retributive conse-

quences of violated international law and to follow the lead of our Govern ment in openly offering our services to the United States. Minister Cooper few days ago presented the oral state ment of this being practically the Gov ernment's intention to the Senate just as it had adjourned. It must be ad- mitted that conservative men object, but then common sense is not always with the majority.
 The regular session of the Legisla- ture expired at noon to-day, but there is so much important work unfinished that President Dole has been compelled to call an extra session at the instance and request of the House, which passed resolution for that purpose, with which the Senate declined to con- cur, still further adding to the politi- cal complications which exist. It Is the evident desire of the annexationists to create such a situation that annexa- tion will be deemed to be an impera- tive necessity. In, fact. some of them actually threaten to hoist the Ameri- can flag to force results. These are, however, irresponsible hotheads, car ried away by the hysteria of the mo- ment.
 Tomorrow an interesting event will occur on the Charleston. Prince David Kawananakoa and Jonah Kalaniana- ole, on behalf of Queen Dowager Kapi- olani, will present to the officers of the ship an American flag manufactured here by Hawaiian ladies of distinction in appreciation of the kindness of its former officers to King Kalakaua in life and death. With the flag goes the prayer for victory over her foes.
 A link between the ancient and mod ern history of Hawaii was severed last week by the death of Kealiiopunui (the chiefess with the big stomach). This woman was born in 1791 on the day of the great naval battle of Ke-pu-waha- ula (the battle of the red-mouthed gum. In this sea fight fought at the Pali- Hulaana, near Wairuanu. Hama kua, Hawaii, a cannon was used by Kamehameha I, who was victorious over the combined forces of Kahekili and his brother Kaco, King of Kauai. She had twenty-seven children, most of whom died young, but they left be- hind them twenty three great-grand- children of their ancestors.
 The cable bill passed second reading in the House this morning and now as amended has an equal chance of pass ing.

R0TTANZI MAY HAVE
 RANK OF MAJOR
MANILA, NOT SANTA CRUZ, TO
 CLAIM THE DOCTOR.
Presented With a Brave Weapon That Will Work to the Glory of
 Both in Either Field,

Surgeon RottanZi Company r, -alifor- mia Volunteers, and the men of his com m6nd have not gone to Santa Cruz for guard duty at the powder mills in com pliance with their orders of the 3d inst. owing to the non-arrival Of the equip 'nents.
 In fact, in the case of Surgeon Rottanzi the authorities that be in things military have not fully decided as to whether or not he can best subserve his country S needs as the exposure of feminine eyes at Santa Cruz or as a practical demonstra- tor of his well known theories of sanita- ton in the American camp in the Philip pines. Surgeon Rottanzi's intimate knowl- edge of Latin tongues and Latin chara cter is also held in high regard by his ssuperiors. and the prospects seem favorable to the success of the large coterie of his friends. who are seeking his elevation to the rank of major and his assignment to a regi- ment bound for the front, where Dr. Rot tanZi's unusual abilities will have a more prolific field of opportunity.
 Regarding his own elevation Dr. Rot tanzi seems apathetic. He says he has neither requests nor suggestions to make, but will rest content to do the first duty of a soluler-obey his orders. His many and are earnestly working for a station and an assignment more compatible with the ability of their candidate.
 But whether Surgeon Rottanzi fares afar with major or casts his lines at the seashore as captain, he will find solace for all bangs in the swing and the glint of his saber, that blade of good Damascus presented to him yesterday by his col leagues of the Board of Supervisors. With it's sheath wrought in gold and si- yer it's as brave a blade as e'er mixed straps and will do as well in the nice conquest of the bathing beach as of the harsher field of grim battle. The surgeon and his saber will prove invincible in whichever list they enter.
