The effort of the grand-mothcrly
journals to try and get the better of
the modern journalism is but the eff
fort of those who are being displaced
by those who are active and go ahead.
The difference between the two IS
clear cut. As the New York journal
remarked a few weeks ago. evidently
why so many of the new journals and
so few of the old are sold. is that the
new journals try to discover the truth
and when they discover it tell it. while
the old ones try not to discover it.

An attempt at highway robbery is a
somewhat rare crime on the Islands
though the lonely roads in the outer
districts give ample opportunity. The
fact is that very few people travel
with sums of money large enough to
make it worth while to take the risk
and next there is the difficulty of get
ting away with the swag. What crime
of this kind has been committed in
the Islands has always been brought
home to the perpetrators. The at
tempt on Maui, reported in Saturdays
Star, will of course be thoroughly in
vestigated at the trial, but from the
reports it was a very clumsily manag-
ed affair.

that he, as body, is not anxious to

of getting a Judgment reversed, and
even if the judgment is not revers-

GRAND ARMY OF REPUBLIC
NAVAL VETERANS CRANKY.
The Annual Encampment Mt Cincin-
natl Draws Many Thousands of
Members, and the Suburban
Trains Are Blocked by the
Crowds.

Cincinnati, Sept. 6.-The thirty-second
annual encampment of the G. A. X. is
success so far as attendance is concerned,
even for these national events, which are
phenomenal for crowds. Special trains
arrived today from all parts of the coun-
try. and the rush became so great that
the later trains were stopped at Sherman
and other suburban points, where street
cars and other transportation had been
provided.
There is a capacity of 100000 in the
tents of Camp Sherman, and it is well
filled as well as the smaller camps; but
the committee on quarters has unlimited
quarters yet in residences and other
places. The decorations are unusually
elaborate.
This was naval day, and tomorrow is
the army day, to be followed on Thurs
day by the peace jubilee. The National
Naval association gave grand parade
this morning. Tomorrow the G.. A. r.
men give their annual parade and Thurs
day the civic and industrial parade oc-
ours.
The features of the day were the regi-
mental, brigade and other reunions at
which the old comrades got closer to-
gether than at any other occasion.
The parade of today was under the
command of Grand Marshal NJ. i. Haw-
Iins. The first division was composed If
union naval veterans, the national asso-
citation of eX-prisoners of war, the Union
Veteran Legion, Sons of Veterans, the
4,I nil and
of the Lopez expedition to free Cuba.
The second division consisted of the
Eighth regiment of United States volun-
teer infantry and the local companies,
cadets and boys brigades. The parade
required an hour to pass a given point.
The National Association of Naval
Veterans threatens to withdraw from the
G. \. X. reunions of the week. When the
visiting naval veterans were escorted 10
the exposition building, they rebelled
against the accommodations. They ac-
knowledged the cots and everything were
better than usual on such occasions, but
they wanted accommodations in boats.
They had boats elsewhere, notably at
Louisville, Detroit, Buffalo and Pitts
burg, and claim they were promised boats
here. Commodore William L. Atkins OF
this city, who is in charge of the local
naval arrangements, has had no opposi
ton for rear admiral of the association
TO succeed Kelly, but he today announced
his withdrawal from the contest. Indig
nation centered against Atkins, and he
was forced out of the race, although he
was not responsible for the situation, be
ing unable to charter boats.

New York, Sept. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
Among the many wild rumors flying
about is one that seems too incredible to
merit even notice, but it shows the state
of the public mind. This is a belief that
Colonel Henry did not commit suicide
Figaro says that when the commissary
of police arrived at Mount Vallerien he
asked for Colonel Henry's valise and the
razor which he committed suicide with.
He was told they had been sent to the
minister of war. This extraordinary pro-
ceeding could not fail to be commented
upon here, where respect to legal formal
ity is carried to such superstitious extent
that the people would leave a man hang
ing rather than not to wait for the arrival
of the police. Naturally enough, then,
such a detail as sending the razor to the
minister of war makes many people asl,
why.
The Eclair, referring to the matter
says:
This controversy has shown us long
ago to what depth certain individuals can
descend, so we are not surprised TO read
that the suicide of Colonel Henry wa:
perhaps murder"

WHALING FLEET Is LOST
RUMoRs THAT ALL WENT DOWN
IL Is Reported That the Entire Fleet
Caught i'm Arctic Ice Ii at the Bot
tom of the Sea-TaIes From the
North often Exnggerate Facts.

San Francisco, Sept. Ga special to
the Examiner from Seattle says that news
of the Arctic whaling fleet came in let
ter from Captain J. c. Downing of the
steamer Wolcott to Austin Claiborne, the
local agent of the Pacific Steam Whaling
company, that read as follows:
Juneau, Aug. 29.-I arrived from the
westward this evening. The latest from
the Arctic is that all the vessels that were
caught in the ice are lost. Mason leap
tain of the Jeannie is crazy. l obtained
the above information from Captain Ned
Lennen, pilot of the gun boat Wheeling.
u. c. DOWNING"
This letter came via the steamship AL
XII, which arrived from Juneau this after
noon. Mr.. Claiborne believes that only
the whaling vessels originally caught III
the ice above Point Barrow were destroy
ed. These included the Wanderer, Jessie
II. Freeman, Belvidere, Orca, Rosario,
Newport, Fearless and JEANNE.
BeIvidcres Escape.
The Rev. Sheldon jackson. who re-
turned on the Roanoke, reported that the
Belvidere got out and reached Port Clar-
ence, where she coaled August from the
bark J. d. Peters. She then returned to
Point Barrow. The Belvidere's officers
also told Mr.. jackson that the Rosario
had been crushed in the ice and that the
Wanderer had eXtricated herself and
moved on to the vicinity of Herschel ISL
and.
As the Orca and Jessie II. Freeman
We're destroyed last fall, the natives hav-
ing set fire to and burned the latter, it
would appear that the only vessels re-
manning at the mercy of the ice foes and
jams were the JEANNE, Newport and
Fearless But, besides the eight vessels
named, there were the Belaena, Grampus,
Beloga, Norwhal and Mary ID. Hume re-
manning in that part of the Arctic.
The Crews Escape.
Captain Edwin Goodall of San Francis
co, who came down on the Al-Ki, said:
Captain Downing told me the fleet
was destroyed in the ice break up. Down
ing heard of no lives being lost, and L
suppose no deaths occurred. When the
Thrasher left Unalaska, June 81, Captain
Smell, master, was sick, and there were
many fishermen at Chignik waiting for
the return of the bark j. d. Peters, 80
as 10 get out of the country. L also
learned that the whaler John and Win
throp left Unalaska early in August with
300 barrels of whale oil and 1000 pounds
of bone"

ICE CREAM IN PUERTO RICO.
The Soldier Boys Have Built Up the
Trade There.

After , p. IN. there is great demand
in all the cafes for ice cream, says a
Puerto Rico letter in the New York Sun.
The shopkeepers regard this as a nation
al failing of Americans, and they endeav-
or to satisfy the craving of the soldiers
for this grateful refreshment. 1t is the
custom in Spanish and Portuguese towns
to serve ice cream in the evening only,
there being ordinarily no call for it I'M
til after sunset. a portion is very
small, quite too small for the healthy
American appetite, and the average sol
der puts away three or four platefuls
with astonishing rapidity. The cafe
keepers at first demuTed against such
an unheard-of thing as "helados" (ice
cream) in the afternoon, but they were
forced to yield to the demand. Every
freezer in town was purchased and or
ders have been sent to st. Thomas for
more. As soon as one freezerful is made
it is sold, and the work of freezing is
kept up all afternoon, to the great prof
it of the trade. Here is another exam
pie of the readiness of our new citizens
to accommodate themselves to American
requirements.

Mining men are being encouraged by
the increased values being secured on the
south half of the Colville reservation.
For the first 80 days after the opening
of the south half it seemed almost impos-
sible to secure assay values greater than
from $3.50 to 81 or even So, with some
rare exceptions. These returns were all
secured from the groupings and it seemed
doubtful whether there was a single
property on the south half worthy of be-
ing located. However, some work has
been done and it is not unusual now to
hear of from $40 to $3.50 assays, and any
number of leads are said to be showing
an average sample from SIS to $50

by dredges. Much of it is known to be
good, but cannot be worked except by
