The number is not fixed by rule OF
custom. In the convention at Ghent,
we had FIVE members as against Eng
lands three, and in the convention at
Guadalupe Hidalgo we had but one
member to Mexico's three. 1t is Gus.
tomary for such conventions to meet
upon neutral soil, though in the case
of our conferences with Mexico this
rule was set aside. The treaty having
been drawn by the American and
Spanish plenipotentiaries, it must be
submitted to the respective govern
ments for ratification. In our case
that duty falls to the senate. Having
been formally ratified by both govern
ments, the Spanish king and the
American president will announce the
existence of peace through proclama-
tions. During the progress of these
negotiations the armies and navles
of both nations are supposed to main
tain an armistice.
In conclusion it may be interesting
to note that peace treaties are usually
written with considerable attention to
literary style and contain all the -four
ishes their makers are able to bring
into play. The treaty of Paris begins
thus:
"In the name of the most holy and
undivided Trinity:
"It having pleased the Divine Prov
idence to dispose the hearts of the
most serene and most potent King
George the Third, by the grace of God,
King of Great Britain, France and
Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke
of Brunswick and Luneburg, Arch
Treasurer and Prince Elector of the
Holy Roman Empire, etc., and of the
United States of America, to forget all
the past misunderstandings," etc., etc.
The treaty of Ghent, 1914, is less
pretentious in composition
"His Britannia Majesty and the
United States of America, desirous of
terminating the war which has unhap-
PLY subsisted between the two coun-
tries, and of restoring, upon principles
of perfect reciprocity, peace, friend
ship and good understanding between
them," ect."
The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo,
1S4S, begins:
"In the name of the Almighty God ::
"The United States of America and
the United Mexican States, animated
by a sincere desire to put an end to
the calamities of the war;" etc.

CAPTURE Of THE LADRONES.
First Details of Notable Event In tn
Pacific.

Pacific.
Phe 6rst details at first hand of the
bloodless capture of the principal OF
the Ladrone islands, reached Wheeling
last Sunday in a letter to Hon. Angus
tus Pollak from the naval officer who
figured in the leading role of the ex-
plot, Lieutenant VIM. Braunersreu-
ther, executive officer of the cruiser
Charleston.
The letter is as follows:
U. S. S. CHARLESTON, AT SEA, AND
1000 MILES FROM MANILA, June "a,
1S9s.-We have just carried out our
orders to capture the Spanish author
tiles at the capital of the Ladrone
islands, Agana. I was selected by the
captain to undertake this job, and
given 160 men to land with as start
er. went ashore to have talk with
the governor about affairs, and the
results were that I did not lose even a
single man. The matter was all set
tied in one day, and we are carrying
with US 81 soldiers (Spsnisb) and six
officers, besides q lot of Mauser rifles
and nearly 10000 rounds of ammuni-
ton. I had the whole to handle and
did it up quickly. The captains in
structions were to wait half hour for
his answer to the ultimatum, then use
my troops. 1 waited, and in just 90
inmates the governor handed me his
sealed reply, addressed to the captain
of my ship, out in the harbor about
four or five miles off.
knew this was sealed with the sole
object of gaining time, and hence l
broke the seal and examined the con-
tents, and the governor protesting and
saying that was a letter for my cap
tain. Ireplied: ~ represent him here.
You are now my prisoners, senors, and
will have to come on boardship with
me-"
They protested and pleaded and
finally the governor said: "You came
on shore to talk over matters and you
make US prisoners instead"
replied: ~ came on shore to hand
you a letter and to get your reply and
that reply is now in my hand, you
agree to surrender all under your
Jurisdiction. If this means anything
at all, it means that you will accede
to any demands may deem proper to
make. You will at once write an
order to your military man at Agana,

distant), directing him to deliver at
this place at 4 p. m, Gt was then 1880
a. M, June Ply, all ammunitions and
flags on the island, each soldier to
bring his own rifle and ammunition
and all the soldiers, native and Span,
ish with their officers must witness
this"
They protested and demurred saying
there was not time enough to do IT.
But said "Senors, it must be done. y
The letter was written, read by me
and sent. I took all the officers with
me in a boat, and at 4 p. m. went
ashore again and rounded in the whole
outfit. 1 was three miles away from
my troops and had only four men with
me. At p. M, when disarmed 1Os
men and two officers, I had 46 mer
and three officers with me.
The keynote to the whole business
was my breaking the seal of the letter
and acting at once. They had ne
time to delay or prepare any treacher

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
PoLKvILLE, N. c., August 5.-The
object of this article is to recount the
adventures of a meek and lowly pill.
grim who made a journey from the
Old North State to South Carolina.
He knew that the history Of the Pal
metto state is cherished in song, and
like the queen of Sheba, he went to
see for himself.
He lives in the region where bread
is the staff of life, and whisky is life
itself, and where there has not risen
among men a greater moonshiner than
Amos Owens. In this region the still
worm dieth not and the fire is not
uuenched, and corn whisky is a legal
tender that altereth not in value.
On sultry day in the latter part et
July of the present year of grace, he
hitched his gothic steed to decaying
ambulance and began to distribute
tracks with the heels pointing toward
Cherry mountain, the abiding place OF
Amos Owens and the Mecca Of all con-
vivial spirits. He was clad in the tradi-
lional coperas breeches of the Tar
heel, worn on state occasions, togeth-
er with seersucker coat and vest,
broad tread shoes, dirt pipe and the
divine right of suffrage.
He passed through Shelby, n. c.,
with no casualties except he was
caught in a thunder shower and got
his tobacco wet. From thence he
moved on to Kings Mountain and
stayed with a hospitable friend. At
Kings Mountain he was placed under
suspicion as candidate but entered
prompt and emphatic denial. He
declared he had been a commercial
traveller, a cowboy, whisky mission
ary, etc., but never had LIE been a
candidate. He was then allowed to
depart in peace, and was informed
that if he were bound for Clover he
could find the way, and all the creden,
tials necessary to move in that select
society were a clean skin and clear
conscience.
He went in sight of the famous
battle-ground, where the patriots OF
the Revolution swept from the sum-
nit of this historic mountain the
forces of Ferguson, who "vauntingly
swore" that God Almighty could not
dislodge him. But, as every school
boy knows, the hardy pioneers, with
Deckard's long rifles, won a signal
victory, and placed on these heights
the starry ensign of this republic.
My soul was uplifted, and I tried to
sing "The Star Spangled Banner
With no audience but my horse, l man
aged to pull through; but he laid back
his ears and kicked out the dashboard
as though he had no patriotism in his
soul. l dismounted and admonished
him with four-year-old club.
A philosopher met me with game
chicken under one arm and a bottle
of dispensary whisky in his pocket
He asked me why was pounding that
ancient crow bait. I told him perhaps
he was like Baalam's donkey, and i'm.
agined he had met an angel that dis.
puted his passage. But as for my part
the angels l read about don't carry
fighting chickens or dispensary whisky
He retorted that the angels he knew
didn't have voices like corn shelters
and didn't try to sing against the peace

RAILWAY EXTENSION.
Five Miles Beyond Waimea-B Bridge
and Curve

The new track of the Oahu railway
is now five miles beyond Waimea gulch
and within ten miles of Kahuku. The
line will be in operation to Kahuku
plantation before the middle of next
month. Contractor Jensen has in one
day laid mile and half of rail. but
the bridge building is rather slow.
There are to be nine bridges between
Waimea and Kahuku. The manner OF
working now is to lay the track TO a
bridge point, then go back and finish
and surface and ill with the roadbed
till the bridge is completed.
The bridge at Waimea is $50 feet
long and is fine structure. The founda-
tons are on solid rock. To avoid the
quicksands and the shore line at this
treacherous point there has been made
an extensive curve in the line. 1t is
like half moon, but is insurance
against floods.
