The Charterhouse school contains a
relic of Livingstone, presented to the
institution by Bishop Naples. The relic
Is the old, tattered coat given by Ltv'
ingst0n in the course of his last journey
to one of his native followers. The ma
tive gave 1t, many years after, to Bish-
op Miles. The bishop gave an account
of the incident. The native African, he
writes, described Livingstone:
a short man, with a bushy mus
tache and a keen, piercing eye, whose
words were always kind, whom as a
header It was a privilege to follow, and
who knew the way to the hearts Of all
men. Then he showed me the
coat: 1t was ragged now, he knew, but
he had kept it those ten years in mem
DRY of the giyer, from whom 1t had
been a legacy when they parted at

greatest secrecy concerning the matter Is
being maintained for fear it would mar

The publication caused a sensation III
this city. Military officers on the ship
denied the truth of the story, but their
denial was made in a half-hearted way.
There are many corroborative features
which tend to prove the truth of the re-
port, which was first circulated by en-
listed men, Others admitted that the
Spanish half-breed was on board ship.
Two Honolulu citizens state that they
were on board the Peking on June when
they saw man in irons and under close
guard. They were convinced that the
prisoner was the man who attempted to
blow up the ship.

On Thursday evening the ships had
thrown four l3-inch and nine eight-inch
