the amount taken into the country.

When lions were still numerous and
easily observed in Southern Africa
they were sometimes seen instructing
one another in voluntary gymnastics
and practicing their leaps, making a
bush play the part OF the absent game.
Moffat tells the story Of a lion which
has missed zebra by miscalculating
the distance, repeating the jump sew
eral times for his own instruction. Two
OF his comrades coming upon him
while he was engaged in the exercise,
he led them around the rock to show
them how matters stoy,d, and then, re-
turning to the starting point, com
p.eted the lesson by making a final
leap. The animals kere roaring during
tho whole of the curious scene, talk
ing together ''as the native who watch
ed them, said. BY the aid Of individ-

MIIrrIARY CouIRlAGE.

The question OF the comparative pro
portion OF really brave men in any
army will probably never be deter
mined. Great officers on the continent
keep their knowledge on that subject
vigorously as professional secret, and
assume as a certainty that all soldiers
are brave. They know very WELL how
ever, that they are not, and when con-
fidential will admit, ais Marshal Won
AIoltlSe once did in public, that with a
great number it takes discipline and
severe discipline, too to induce them to
face shells unshrinkingly. American Of
fcers have been known to acknowledge
that of their men, who are as brave as
any in the world, 20 per cent. would
run away If they could, and in every
army, even ours, which man enters
only Of free will, there is a certain pro-
portion who literally cannot overcome
their fears. They are stricken with a
sort OF paralysis. The proportion IS
probably not high in any army, the
majority, II in health, being able 20 do
their duty, and having intense motives
to do il; but neither is the proportion
high of those who literally feel no fear.
There are such men, who do not
quite understand what the emotion is,
as there are also some who have In ex-
treme danger a sense Of pleasure, which
sometimes not only quickens their
blood, but distinctly increases their IN
tellectual force This is said to have
been true Of General Picton, who
though hard, rough man, was m
"angel when bullets were about" and
was undoubtedly true Of the first Lord
Cough, who had a trick highly dis-
agreeable to his staff. OF seeking points
Of full exposure to the enemy's fire

in all armies shows, however that the.

truth The writer once had an oppor

subject and never forgot his reply. III

HAWAIIAN COMMISSION MEETS
Proposed Plan For the New Government.
Dole to BE Governor.


WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE Amer
jean members OF the commission APP
pointed by the president under the act
annexing Hawaii to the United states
were in conference at the capitol yes
terday. Senator Cullom was chosen
chairman OF the commission and other
officials designated. Mr.. M. w. Blu
menberg. one Of the official reporters of
the senate, was appointed reporter of
the commission. 1t was decided that
the entire clerical force should be COM
posed Of employees Of the senate in or
der not TO add unnecessarily to the sal
airy roll Of the commission. 1t is inn
possible to fix a definite time OF de-
parture, but Aug. was agreed upon as
the approximate time for sailing from
San Francisco.
It is expected that about two months
time will be spent in Hawaii, and the
commission hopes to have its recon-
mendations prepared by the opening OF
the next session OF congress.
There was some discussion at yester-
days meeting of plans for the work
ahead, but this was necessarily inform
al. So far as opinion was expressed IL
was favorable TO the acceptance Of the
! NNloAAhb HAWAIIAN SldAdltH. oehdAoA
Morgan gave the other members of the
commission much information concern
ing these laws, speaking Of the legal
system under the present Hawaiian
| government as one excellently adapted
to local conditions. Among the ques-
tions with which the commission will
have to deal are the public lands, the
elective franchise and fortifications
The members of the commission gener-
ally express the opinion that steps will
be taken TO protect the islands against
all possible foes, both by erecting forti-
fications and by maintaining a force OF
men sufficient for any probable emer-
gency. The present land laws of the is
lands are quite complicated. and the
| chief end in view when they were form
ulated was that Of inducing white i'm
migration. The probabilities are tha
they will be retained under the new
system in the main.
The presidents intention Of continu
ing President Dole as the governor o
the new territory was dismissed at tn
meeting as a matter decided upon an,
was spoken Of most approvingly. Tn
commissioners favor a full territoria
form of government, with a delegate il
congress and a local legislature, bu
they necessarily viii postpone the con
} sideration of all matters of detail unit
they reach Honolulu and have an op
! portunity to confer with Messrs. Dol
} and Frear. the Hawaiian members o
the commission.

NEW ELECTION LAW.
Bill on Which the Extraordi-
nary Session Will Act.
A SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS.
One Oficer to Have Sole Charge of the
Polling In the metropolitan Dis
trict," Which WIN Contain
the City OF New York.

ALBANY, July 12.-Although the leg
islature convened in extraordinary ses-
sion last night there was absolutely
nothing 10 demand the attention of the
lawmakers but the reading of the gov
ernors message. Not one of the sub
5ects on which the governor had sug-
gested legislation had been put In the
form OF bill and therefore could not
properly be brought before either house
for consideration or discussion. The
Importance Of the session last night was
OF no consequence as compared with the
conference Of some of the Republican
Legislators and Governor Black yester-
day. when the knotty and much dis
puted question as to how the control
OF elections in New York city could be
divorced absolutely from the police
force was settled to the satisfaction Of
all.
In tho conference with the governor
were Senators Wray, Stranahan, Hig-
gins, Ellsworth, White and Krum,
Speaker OGrady and Assemblymen
Nixon, Marshall, Hill, De Graw and
Armstrong.
The election bill decided on will be
known as the metropolitan district cleo
tion bill and viii provide for the ap-
pointment by the governor Of super
visor OF elections for a district larger
than the city of New York. Although
the details as to just what territory
shall be included in that district have
not been definitely decided upon, It is
expected that it will include the pres
ent city Of New York, the county OF
Westchester and that portion Of the
county Of Queens which is not included
in New York city. The act will be made
TO apply to territory that is not in New
York city, so that constitutional objec-
ton cannot be raised against 1t on the
ground that 1t is special legislation
which would probably have some
weight if it applied only to New York
This supervisor OF elections will hav,
power to appoint innumerable specia
deputies in equal numbers from botl
of the prominent political parties. THREE
deputies Will be designated to serve a
the polling places where the supervise
of elections thinks that attempts to Sc
cure dishonest vote will be made. Tn
deputies will have powers supersedinl
those Of the police. and their appearance
at polling places viii be a signal tha
the services Of the. police who may b
there are no longer required.
The deputies will also have super
Vision over registration lists, and It vii
be their duty 10 prosecute all cases O
Illegal registration. Much Of the deta
OF the bill is yet 70 be decided upor
and the conference delegated to Senate
Stranahan and Assemblyman Marshal
chairmen OF the Cities committees q
both houses the duty to draft the bi
on the general lines mentioned above.

FoRTY-oNE YEARs IN COURT.

Attorney James B. Jenkins, OF
Oneida, has received a dispatch from
washington announcing that his case
In behalf Of the New York Indians
against the United States government
was decided in his favor. This case
grew out of treaty with the New
York Indians by which lands owned by
them in the State of wisconsin we're
transferred to the United States for the
sum Of S423,OOO and 1,S24OOO acres Of
land in Indian Territory, now part
Of the State Of Kansas. This land In
Kansas was taken up by squattere dur
ing the Kansas-Nebrasl1a fight, and by
an act Of Congress the land was finally
sold to the squatters, the proceeds go
ing into the United States Treasury.
In 1859 Attorney Jenkins, associ-
ated with several other prominent at
torneys, took up this case for the In
dians, and he has fought II through the
courts down to the present time, Mr.

original attorneys. Since 1868 he has
managed the case and has labOred un-
der contracts with the Indians. In 1885,
he succeeded in getting a decision by
which the United States government
was to pay the Indians $2,OOO,OOO. Th'
attorney-general Of the United States
got an appeal and the case was takeI
before the Supreme Court of the Unitet
States. Here 1t was argued in 1896
and reargued last March. AT the time o.
the reargument last March Mr.. Jenkins
was sick and employed Joseph IL. Cho
ate to argue the case for him. The cas-
for the government was argued by AS
sistant General Charles Z
Binney.
In the decision which the Supreme
Court OF the United States has handeC
down is the elimination OF the iif'
work Of Attorney Jenkins. The case ma
