The Wilmington Messenger recently
copied a compliment to Lieutenant
Cameron Winslow, taken from the
Afheville Citizen, for his gallantry. 1t
was stated that his mother vas Miss
McRae, of Wilmington, before mar
rage. We learn from Colonel w. L.
DeRosset that his mother was Miss
Nelson, born of Fayetteville. and he
is of the impression that Lieutenant
Winslow is a native Of that town also,
and if not, of Boston. Mass. He is q

A few days ago a great painter died
in London-one Of the greatest Of all
English painters, a man of true genius
and OF high personal standing-Sir
Edward @. Burne-Jones. He was son
of E. R. Jones. of Birmingham, but
managed to hyphenate his name by
hitching on Burne to Jones, after the
absurd English way. He was born in
1923. He was educated at Oxford
University. He was an intimate
friend Of those two very unique~geni
uses, Gabriel Rossetti and William
Morris. That he was a marvellous
painter, goes without saying. He pro
duced a great many pictures and some
are of wondrous beauty and fascina-
tion. Gee writer says Of his less pro-
ductive period:
''Now an6 then he burst on the
world with 4 canvas which the veriest
Philistine could not but admire, like
the incompatible 'Ohanr damon He
who has not seen that picture knows
not how near a modern has approached
to the gorgeousness of the Venetian
school in it's most luxriant moment
how near to Giorgione himself, A
dozen others might be named, not un-
worthy to hang beside it, though l
think Mr.. Burne Jones himself would
prefer that most of them should be
hung at a little distance"

1t will be seen from the above figures
and from the total values, that not
only have e. Expectations in almost every
case been much larger in May of 1898
than in the preceding may, but that
owing to the increased prices prevail
ing, the total value is practically three
times as great for May just past as for
May 1892. The government figures
also show that in the eleven months

A WATcaMAN.

An exchange says: Some time age
an order was issued by the Secretary
of the Navy prohibiting people from
entering the war and navy depart
ments after two o'clock, except at the
main entrance, where every one had
to be identified. This caused a great
deal OF annoyance to the clerks and
others having business there, because
they were often compelled to go way
around a block when denied admission
at the most convenient entrance. One
afternoon, a few days after the order
went into effect, Secretary Long came
wandering down from luncheon and as
usual went to the basement entrance,
which is nearest the elevator. He was
met by a one armed cid soldier, who
barred the door.

q lietly.
Excuse me, " said the guard, ''you
may be Secretary Long, but I don't
know you, and you will have to go
around to the main entrance and prove
your identity"
The secretary smiled again and re.

q much greater Investigation than at
present, and that we would then be
able TO raise our own coffee and other
tropical articles for which we are now
dependent upon foreign countries.
The Hawaiian islands. their Come
mercs, productions. population, ETC.,
form the subject of a series of tables
which will appear in the next number
of the Monthly Summary Of Finance
and Commerce, issued by the Bureau
of Statistics of the Treasury. It APP
pears that the United States has, since
the reciprocity treaty Of 1875, had q
large share of the commerce of these
islands. Prior to that year, our sales
to the islands had seldom reached a
million dollars annually, but since,
our trade has steadily grown, reaching
So, 600, 900 in 1879, a, ZOO. 600 in 1880
and promising TO reach nearly S 6,O0O,.
600 in the present year. In 1876 the
imports of the islands were compare
lively small and only about q third
were received from che United States;
in 1896 there were over &6, OOO, 600, of
which about 81. 600, 900 came from this
country. OF the exports from the
Hawaiian Islands, the United States
has also had the lions share since the
reciprocity treaty of 1876. In 1875 we
had only about So per cent, but nov
about 80 per cent. of the exports come
to this country. OF the 5000, 600, 900
worth of exports from Hawaii since
the treaty of 1876, more than $3.50, 000,-
600 have come to the United States,
and Of the 500, 600, 600 worth of i'm
ports into the Hawaiian Islands during
that time about $40. OOO, 900 were from
the United States,
Sugar, of course, appears as the chief
article of expectations from the islands,
though rice has been for years an ar
ticle of considerable value and of late
coffee, pine apples and bananas have
taken an important place in the ex-
portations. The increase in sugar and
coffee has been rapid in the past few
years, coffee increasing from $500
pounds in 1887 to 225, 900 pounds in
1895, and s~ugartrOm 212, OOO, 600 pounds
in 1888 to 44S, 900, 900 pounds in 1895.
The population Of the last cencus was
in round numbers 1O9, 600, of which
only 81, 900 were Hawaiians. Our
commerce with the islands extends
over half a century, some of the tables
mentioned showing imports from them
as early as 1926.

minds to go after the Spanish, task
very much more difficult than that of
meeting them near our own shores. 1t
was suggested by some of the members
of the navy department that there was
just a possibility that the Spanish
squadron might take a quick passage
into the Pacific through the Suez canal,
and attack Dewey at Manila. 1t is said
that, contrary to common understands
ing, the Suez canal is open to warships
of belligerent powers, SO that If the
Spanish choose to take this course, they
would have long start of any pursuing
fleet from our side of the Atlantic.
1t is scarcely believed, however, that
the Spanish are willing to take the risk
of exposing to our attack their own
home ports by the withdrawal of SO
considerable proportion of their naval
strength as would be required to over
match Dewey.
Nothing was heard from Sampson to-
day, but there is a confident expecta-
ton that interesting news will be COM
ing from his squadron within the next
"a hours. Whether this means an
attack on Porto Rico or not cannot be
learned.
The return of the Spanish fleet leaves
the course free to the Oregon to make a
iuncture with the North, Atlantic

Bill for Its Construction Introduced In
the House.
Washington, May IA bill allow
ing the British Columbia & Seattle
Railroad Company, of Washington, to
construct railroad bridge across the
Columbia at Vancouver, was recently
introduced in the house of representa-
tives. Under the provisions OF the
bill. work will be commenced within
two years from the passage OF the act,
and completed within two years. The
bridge is to include two large draws,
at least one span of sufficient size to
permit of small traffic, and is to be
constructed 10 feet above high water,
taking the measurement from the max
imum limit. Provision is made to
guard against obstructing navigation
on the Columbia, either temporarily
during the course of construction, or
after the structure is complete. The
work is to be carried on under the SUI
pervision of the secretary of war, to
whom will be submitted for approval
drawings of the bridge, and maps OF
the location. Favorable action ON this
measure will undoubtedly be had, as
bridge at the point named is needed by
the public as we'll as the company.
