JAMESON RAID.

Monument is to be Erected by Kru-
gers Government.
\ colossal granite monument Is be-
ing made by an American firm TO the
order of the Transvaal Government,
for erection at Pretoria as a national
of the repulse of the Jameson
raid and a recognition of President
Kruger's patriotism and valuable SER
vices to the republic. Considerable
reticence is observed with regard to
the work, as the contractors, ii seems,
are bound under agreement not to dis
close particulars, but some details have
leaked out. The monument is com
posed of red Peterhead granite, and is
inclosed by a superstructure of about
eighty feet diameter. Access is obtain
ed to the main structure by four broad
flights of steps The main monument
is octagonal in form, thirty-siX feet
across and the same in height, form
ing a solid mass of masonry, on top OF
which it is believed a statue OF the
President will be placed.

The LEONID HUNT
Report on Observations
Made at Oahu College.
Star Gazing of Three Nights-Show-
ers of Meteors-Hours and FL
gures-A Comparison.

The following is d brief account of
the observations made at the Oahu
College Observatory during the morn
ings Of Saturday. Sunday and Monday.
November 18th, 18th and 18th.
Two observers were constantly
watching, and during most of the time
three observers We're giving their un-
divided attention TO that section of the
sky within twenty-five degrees Of the
radiant point. The radiant point adopt
ed was the faint star near the center of
the so-calIed sickle" OF the constelIa-
ton Leo.
Observations were made from 100
p. m. Friday night until 200 a. m. Sat
urday; from 1900 midnight Saturday
until 2:30 a. m. Sunday: and from 100
a. m. Monday until daylight rendered
furCher work impossible.
Results for the first period: Twenty
two meLeors mostly at random for all
directions in the sky and none within
the prescribed area.
For the second period: Twenty
seven meteors were seen. many at
random, in various sections of the sky,
few OF which could be traced back
wards to the radiant, and one genuine
leonid within the radiant region.
For the third period. when they were
expected TO be more numerous, a total
of sixty-four meteors were observed.
Thlrty-five were within the prescribed
area. while twenty-nine were outside.
OF these twenty-nine, nineteen were at
random and the remaining ten were
undoubtedly leonids as determined by
tracin" their paths backward towards
the radiant where they cOnverged.
Comparing these results with those
obtained at the Harvard College OBJ
servatory on the night of November
10. l.J7. it seems that local results
average well. At their latitude the
constellation Leo rises at 1880 p. m
and continues in the field of view near
| Iy nine hours. while here, owing to the
height of the visible horizon and the
clouds resting on those eastern hills
observations could not be commenced
sooner than 100 a. m. and were prac
ticaIly ended by the morning light a
! $50, an interval of four hours.
! Mr.. Harry Waterhouse kindly assist

Turn Race War Has Taken in North
Carolina.
RALEIGH. y. C.-The fight now be-
ing waged for white supremacy in
North Carolina began four yeas ago.
Persons opposed to the Democratic
party obtained control of the Legisla-
ture, which resulted in the complete
overturning of the order of things
which had been in existence for more
than twenty years. The negro came to
the front as a political issue. The black
vote is 10000 and entirely solid, not
more than , per cent. ever failing to
vote the Republican ticket. White
RepuUucans during the last four years
have been forced TO give the negroes
offices and now there are about 1000 in
various positions.

Comrades we left behind;
Who begged for the front. and who

To them it was given TO cTumb.e TO

We wonder-what did they find?
Slowly we crawl from the river of

JUDGE DAY's cAsLEoRAaA.

fnforms ths Presidcns That the SPAN
iards Will Sign the Treaty.
Washington, Nov. 29.-Thr0ughout
the peace negotiations. which are still
pending in Paris, the president has ex.
pressed confidence that treaty. satis'
factory to the United States. should be
drafted and signed. From time to
time assurances Of substantial progress
toward that end have been received
Iron the American commissioners.
Today advices were received by the
president from Mr.. Day, president Of
the American commission. reiterating
the assurances be had previously given
the president OF the early and success
iul conclusion of the work OF the com.
mission.
Judge Day, it is understood, states
positively that the Spanish commits
sioners formally will accept. perhaps
tomorrow, the terms Of the United
States, and that treaty drawn along
the lines of the agreement reached will
be drawn and signed in few days.
The dispatch from Judge Day was the
first absolutely definite statement as to
the conclusion Of the labors of the COM
mission that had been received. and,
fquite naturally, it afforded the presi-
dent and his advisers considerable sat
istaction.
It is probable that the president will
discuss in his message to congress,
which will be delivered one week from
tomorrow, the successful efforts of the
administration in the negotiation OF a
peace treaty. although there is posi-
bility that the treaty itself may not
have been signed at the time.

RAN ON A REEF.
Steamer Detroit Wrecked on Shelter

Steamer Detroit Wrecked on Shelter
Island-Passengers and Crew Saved.
Seattle, Dec. 1.-The steamer Cot
tage City, from Alaska. brings news of
the wreck of the steamer Detroit on
Shelter island. Her crew and passen-
gers. numbering 81, were saved.
The Detroit ran between Juneau and
Haines Mission. While making her
regular run Thanksgiving day she
struck reef on Shelter island. The
weather was terribly thick and heavy
snow storm raging. The rock tore
great holes in her, as the engines
pounded themselves to pieces, en-
deavoring to drag her from her rock
bound position. The water poured
through her, and had it not been for
the tightness in which she was held by
the rocks she would have gone down,
drowning all on board.
The passengers and crew were land
ed on Shelter island, where they are
housed with scarcely any provisions,
under tarpaulins.
The purser and two seamen went to
juneau in small boat for relief. arriv-
ing there just before the Cottage City
left. They say the survivors are in a
critical condition, shivering with cold
around fire and without food.
A steamer has gone to the rescue with
relief.

President Mckinley and Many Promi-
nent Men Oppose It.
Washington, Nov. 29.-President
Mckinley will try to avoid an extra
session. il that is possible. In this
effort he is likely to be seconded by a
large number of public men both
branches of congress and of both par.
ties. Public policy will dictate the
desires of some and sel6shness that OF
others. President Mckinley will make
every effort to have the peace treaty
laid before congress Immediately after
the holidays. He hopes to have it rat
fled before the adjournment in March.
Meanwhile, it is expected that bill
will pass for the reorganization of the
army, so that garrisons for the new
possessions will be provided for. Prob
ably will be passed providing for the
temporary government of the Philip
pines and Porto Rico. and possibly
Cuba, by the army officers command
ing in each. until congress can provide
otherwise. Then congress will provide
for commissions to visit the different
islands and make recommendations
for their government to the next con-
gress. That is the scheme which will
be followed II there is no extra session,
and II everything goes through as
PLANNED.

MASTERING OUT.
Volunteers Army win Re Reduced By
~ %, 900 Mon.

Volunteer Army VIII BE Reduced by
~ $4,000 Men.
New York, Dec. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: One
Of the fret results Of the determination
Of the peace negotiations at Paris will
be an order for the mastering cut OF as
many as 80, 900 men Of the volunteer
army. The orders thus far cover about
81, 900 men. but not moe than 30. 600
have actually been mustered out.
The present army consists OF about
I3O, 900 men, exclusive Of all ordered
mustered out, SO. 900 of whom are reg
ulars. The forces contemplated for
the islands are:
For the Philippines, 100000; for
Porto Rico, about 1000; for Cuba.
not more than 10000.
This, on the basis of $4,000 men for
the regular establisnment-which is
the number now reckoned on by COM
petent military forecasters here-will
leave 30, 900 men for frontier and sta
ton work in this country. Secretary
Alger recommends loo, 900 men.
There are now $4,000 volunteers.
who are entirely useless, in view OF the
technical cessation of hostilities. Or
ders for the mastering out of these will
be issued without delay, which will
leave 100, 600 men in the army. 1t
was recalled by army officers that the
regular army of %. 900 men has never
been up to it's limit Of enlisted strength.
and that the army Of $4,000 men under
the Hull bill lacked 10000 of complete
enlistment.
Secretary Alger refused to cay
whether he would ask for more pay for
enlisted men. but it is asserted that it
will be impossible to secure the enlist
ment of $4,000 men unless there be
granted greater pay than $l3 month
for each man. An increase Of pay for
privates in the service will be one OF
the almost certain developments Of leg
islation for army reorganization, the
argument being based upon the danger
GUS climates to be endured in the new
possessions.

There are certain plants-the dod-

the best Intentions, strike true roots
into the soil, and really appear as if
they meant to be independent for life.
But after supporting themselves for a
brief period they fix curious sucking
discs into the stem and branches OF adj
iacent plants. And after little ex-
perimenting the epiphyte finally ceases
to do anything for it's own support.

In this parasitic state it has no need
