A WEST INDIAN HONEYMOON.

what sort of place Is Santos, Cap
tain?" asked, partly because really
wanted to know, but partly also be-
cause the cabin of the steamer was
suffy and cockroachy, and the sea rath-
cr rough, and had just been served
with a liberal plateful Of hot plum
pudding with cream sauce, which in
the tropics is dish that requires re-
Election.
"Santos'' said the long-limbed Yam
kee Captain, with a humorous side
glance at my untouched plate, which
showed he quite understood the situa-
ton. Santos, sir, is hell upon earth
when Yellow Jack is aboard, and not
much better when he isn't"
How so?' asked I, motioning fur
lively to the steward to remove my
plate, and shifting my chair a little so
as to get the benefit of the trade wind
through the open port was on board
a little tramp steamer, making the trip
from Barbados to st. Lucia, at which
latter island had a few hours inspec-
ton duty to fulfill, which would have
entailed a wait of fortnight had I
gone by the regular mail.
We'll, sir it's this way. First and
foremost, It's a big port and hundreds
of ships put into it. 1t is a hot, dirty,
damp, unhealthy place, with $4,000 in
habitants. And the fools have only
built two wharves to load and unload
at. you must take your turn. Eight
months have known a bark lie at an
Choir in the harbor waiting her chance"
My face must have expressed in
credulity, for my nautical friend here
stopped his story to remark. IT guess
you don't believe me, stranger. Stew
ard bring the officer another help Of
pudding"
I assured him that I believed him
implicitly, and, indeed, found after
wards that the information he had Civ
en- me was perfectly correct. I also
declined the pudding, and begged him
to continue, which he did after smiling

II was there in 1891; we put in on our
way to New York. I thought there
would be good chance of picking up
a few passengers while the fever was
on, and so did; but we paid dear for
it. You see, they had cholera there
that year as we'll as well as yellow jack
and the harbor was full of ships that
couldn't get away, because they had
no officers left to navigate them and no
crews to man them. Seventy-nine
captains and six or seven hundred
sailors had died when I got there, and
] calculate many naval action
wouldn't have cost as much. I'm not
easily frightened myself, but I can tell
you thought it was time to go when I
went asore one evening after dark, and
the first thing 1 did was to trip over a
body lying across the street, and fall
with my face right in the waistcoat of
another gentleman who had just died
where he lay of yellow jack. The one
had tripped over had died of cholera,

JONATHAN TRUMBULL.
Kent Club Lecture BY Hon, Henry C.
Robinson.

Kent Club Lecture BY Hon. Henry G.
Robinson.
Hon. Henry G. Robinson of Hartford
lectured on Jonathan Trumbull" In the
Kent club lecture course last evening.
A large audience was present in Col
lege street hall and the lecture was
thoroughly appreciated by all.
Judge Robinson referred in sarcas-
tic manner to Ex-Governor Chamber
lain's attacks on the English depart
ment of Yale in the following way. Az
ter reading an enconium by President
Stiles of Yale on Governor Trumbull,
Judge Robinson said: "That is spec
linen of Yale English. BY the way, I
see by the papers that the governor Of
South Carolina has broken out again."
He concluded with the suggestion that
the governor of South Carolina needed
to take seltzer perhaps to settle his
stomach.
The speaker also said that he saw
by the papers accounts of the friendly
feeling expressed for the United States
by members of the house of commons,
and said that perhaps this might be
the breaking of ice in the international
relations between the United States
and England. If these two countries
are united it means that we shall not
have war. Young men, those of us who
have seen something Of what war is
know that it is hell. 1t is only to be
endured to escape a lower hell of dis
honor"
Of Trumbull, the speaker said that he
was Washington's nearest friend and
counsellor. He alone of the governors
of the colonies at the breaking out of
the revolution was loyal to the Ameri-
can cause. He was hated, maligned
and threatened, but nothing could
swerve him from his patriotic course.
Throughout the war he was ever ener-
getic in furnishing men, money and
supplies for the continental army. In
times of emergency Governor Trumbull
was the man to whom Washington and
congress looked for assistance. Many
of the victories of the war were due to
his efforts in supporting the cause of
freedom.

WHY SENATOR'S RUN AWAY.
Senator Frye Says it is to Escape
Long Speeches.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE senate did
not make great progress with the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty yesterday.
Several speeches were delivered but in
every instance the speakers announced
that their remarks were merely prelin-
mary to what they should say before
the close of the debate.
The executive session opened shortly
after l o'clock, with Senator White on
the floor but Senator Stewart inter-
rupted and others cut the CaHI Tt;,r
senator out of the discussion. Those
who spoke were Senators Stewart, Frye
and Morgan.
Senator Stewart of Nevada supported
the treaty and was the first senator to
discuss the question of sugar in con-
nection with the subject. He said all
the sugar lands were now occupied and
that little was left except lands avail
able for the production of coffee. He
asserted that the importation OF sugar
to the United States from Hawaii
would not be increased to any percept-
ible extent, because the islands mad
reached their limit in the production of
that article. For this reason the pro-
ducers of beet sugar and cane sugar
need not be alarmed senator stewart
eulOgized the natives as intelligent and
dOcile. He said there were many of
them in California and that they were
we'll regarded there. Senator White in
terrupted to ask why if the Kanakas
were so we'll thought of, they had not
been consulted on the question of an
neXation. Mr.. Stewart replied that
throughout their history, up to recent
years, they had been anxious to have
their country become a part of the
United States.
Senator Frye spoke upon the COM
mercal and military aspects which an
nexation presented in favor of the Uni
ted States. He called attention to the
fact that some senators complained be-
cause no one stayed in the chamber
and listened to the debate upon this
important subject. He remarked that
it was no wonder that senators fed to
the cloak rooms and committee rooms
when long speeches were read which
contained much dry detail and were not
arguments upon the question before
the senate. The senators should con-
suit together and discuss the matter
debate and advise and then there
would be full senate at all times and
the information sought would be
brought out. Upon the merits of the
case he considered Hawaii as necessary
to the commerce of the United States.
He devoted considerable time to a re-
view of the Importance of the control
of the Nicaraguan canal which could
not be maintained unless Hawaii was
ours Senator Frye thought this was
an important epoch in our history, and
if we did not annex the islands now we
could not complain if they were an
nexed to any other nation or if any
other nation should take them.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, made
the principal speech of the day and oc-
cupied the time of the senate until it
adjourned.
