Queer Yarn of How IA Unusedup Couple

The mixed train of box cars and
flats, followed by one dilapidated day
coach, had just started out of Milling
ton on the Idaho Central when a tall
rough looking man with one eye burst
through the rear door, and stepping
forward to the middle of the aisle,
called out:
I'm looking fer lady named Meri-
bel St Clair"
There was but one woman in the
coach, and she would hardly have been
selected as fitting such name, but to
the surprise of everyone she quickly
turned her head and said, "Cummere, :"
1t was none of the business of the
others in the coach, but they could not
help giving undivided attention to the
transactions of the two. The woman
was angular and red headed, and she
had voice like the shrill utterance of
hot box. The man, who was as
homely a specimen as that section of
the new state could possibly produce,
seemed rather abashed as he approach
ed her. Indeed, his conduct was apol-
ogetic.

GREAT BRITAIN SURPRISED
BY the Report of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations.


London, March 1S.-The government
OF Great Britain is surprised at the
report of the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations which, after present.
ing a joint resolution for the anneXa-
ton of Hawaii, set forth that Great
Britain was plotting for the absorb
ton of Hawaii.
A high official of the British foreign
office said to-day: 1T is unfortunate
that the committee has such an erron-
eOus impression. l can not imagine
upon what supposed facts they base
their report 1t seems improbable that
the Senators would issue official state
ments on no other basis than rumors
and suspicious AS a matter OF fact,
nothing is further from Great Britain
intentions than to interfere in any
way with the existing regime IN
Hawaii. No steps in that direction
were ever contemplated. On the con-
trary. Her Majesty's government has
recognized that the United States gov
eminent has the foremost interests in
Hawaii, and that it is natural and in
evtabIe that Hawaii should be under
American influence

was a wrench TO him. and a shade Of

the last confession. After another
pause he turned smiling face upon
her, she having been looking out of
the window in a mournful way, and
said:

Talks ABOUT Spain Surfing Up ReyOlts III
the Southern States
Vienna. March 1S.-The Neue Freie
Presse publishes an interview with a
Spanish statesman, evidently the Mar
quis de Hoyos, the Spanish ambassa-
dor, who is represented as saying:
Spain would rather have war with
the United States than pay compensa-
ton for the Maine, for by the latter
course she would forfeit her honor
through an admission OF guilt, which
would erase her name from the list of
civilized nations
1T could not be England's interest
to see the Spaniards expelled from
Cuba, as there might arise at Wash
ington an inclination to declare Can
ada's independence. If during a war
the United States should incite the
Philippine Islands to revolt, Spain
could revenge herself by raising re-
volts in the American Southern
States"
