AN ORG GANIZED STRIKE.

The Hawaiian workingmen in the
Honolulu Iron Work made strike
at noon to-day, demanding the same
wages that are being paid to "white"
men doing the same kind Of work.
The men gathered in front of the
Office of the Foundry, about 200 in
number, and expressed their deter
mnation to be treated on equal
terms with the "white" employees.
Their spokesman had a great deal
to say about Mr.. Kennedy, the book
keeper OF the Foundry, who they
claim is the man who curtails their
wages, although he, as prominent
member Of the American Union
Party and at one time of the League,
has promised to the Hawaiian work
ingmen, equal wages with their
white brethren and fair play. The
strikers have no use for Mr.. Ken
nedy, whose re-appointment in the
Foundry has always been a surprise
to the public.
Manager Hedemann, who COM
mands the respect of the men as
we'll as OF the community, was
thunderstruck over the strike. He
tried to speak to aud reason with
the men, but made no headway.
The strikers finally agreed to send a
deputation of three to meet him this
afternoon, and discuss matters.
Mr.. Hedemann is an honest and
conscientious gentleman, and we'll
beloved by his employees. He will
understand that the demand Of the
men is reasonable, and that the same
wages must be paid to the natives
as those given to the "whites." Mr.
Hedemann must do the square
thing, or the men will cause a gen.
eral lock- out in Hawaii nei.
Personally Mr. Hedemann will
probably always object to discrimi-
mating against the Hawaiians, but
Constructions" may cause him to
take step which he aud his patrons
will eventually regret.
The chief owner OF the Foundry
is here. To his good judgment will
it be left, whether just and equal
wages are to be paid to, his Hawai-
ian employees, or whether general
organized strike shall be inaugural
ed in the Paradise of the Pacific.

KlOndykian Cold.

In a warm climate, such as
ours, ice is an absolutely ne
cessity as a food preserver
and a means towards preserv-
ing an equal temperature of
body and mind. Ice chests
and refrigerators are no long
er a luxury but a necessity
and the wise woman always
selects the best for her house
hold. This undoubtedly is
the Alaska as experience has
proved.
The ALASKA is constructed
upon strictly scientific prin-
cipals, by which low tempera-
ture and dryness Of air are
naturally and inevitably OBJ
tanned.
The ALASKA has preserved
fresh meats perfectly for three
weeks in the hottest weather
and produces better results
with less ice than any other.
The ALASKA has the only
provision chamber free from
odor, for between the outer
and inner walls there is an
inch and a half space filled
with pure charcoal, and ex-
perience has convinced all that
the ALASKA is without doubt,
the best refrigerator on the
market, in construction, in
preserving perishable goods,
in economy of ice, and in all
points necessary to make
them first class.
We have them in several
sizes, at from $15 to $25 and
also keep the ALASKA IoE

Hunting is very noble sport,

lions and bears are doing battle on

Told of Little wiIheImina.

Dr. Kuyper of Holland, upon his recent
visit to this city, related an interesdn
story connected with the early life of the
young Queen WEhelmina, which is sig
nihcant as illustrating the character of
the Queen says the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle. 1t occurred when she was
not more than years old.
Her father, the late King, was presented
with a beautiful and very choice set of
cups and saucers, and so highly did he
prize the gift that he solemnly impressed
upon his servants and the members of
his household that if the pieces were de-
stroyed or injured in any way the unfor-
tunate person responsible for the accident
should be severely punished. 1t happened
that some time later fOotman, in carry
ing the dishes from the room in which he
had been serving, accidentally broke one
of the cups. He was Mortified and filed
with grief at the misfortune, which he
knew would cost him his position and mis-
home.
Happening at that moment TO meet the
little Princess, he said TO her with so5s,
"Good-by. l have got to go. 1 have broken
one of the cups" The little lady expressed
her regret and asked why, and the foot
man explained to her the decree of the
King. The Princess became thoughtful
and finally said:
Il Will nelp you out OF TINS TouDle, anu
I'll tell you what to do. You get some
glue and fasten the pieces together, and
tomorrow you bring the cup to me filled
with tea, but be sure it is cold tea, and
l will see what sean do about it,"
The footman, much relieved, obeyed the
little Princess, and the following evening
the footman handed her the cup of cold
lea. In a moment she managed to let il
fail. The cup of course broke into a thous-
and pieces. The King was furiously an
| CRY. Little Wilhelmina ran to him, and,
throwing her arms around his neck, said,
"Good-by, father, am going"
What do you mean?" asked the King,
! perpleXed. sf
why. you said the first person who
broke one of these cups was to be Danish
| ed, so l am going"
At this the King, who worshipped his
| little daughter, took her in his arms and
forgave her, and he never knew that the
child had committed the act to save the
| footman.

CURRENCY TROUBLES.

1t is the understanding that the Republi-
can party viii not undertake to reform the
currency at this session Of Congress, and
il is pretty certain that an extra session
of Congress viii not be called for that
purpose. It is very generally admitted,
however, that there is nothing which the
country needs more than a currency that
would answer the requirements of The
people
On this point the annual report of the
Secretary of the Treasury was clear and
strong. He pointed out that as long as
we retain the present currency system-a
system based on a fixed volume of legal
tender paper money--there will be dissat-
isfaction with the currency, and there will
be efforts in behalf of the free and I'M

Of getting rid of the evils of the present
system
The agricultural districts in both the
South and West are kept irritated all the
time because they cannot get money when
they need it for moving their crops or for
making improvements on their farms.
They see in the public prints that money
is going begging in New York, and that
it can be had in unlimited quantities at
the rate of per cent. per annum, while
if they are able to get it az all, they
have 10 pay or 10 per cent for it.
The whole trouble, the Secretary of the
| Treasury says, is due to the existing cur

to all interests Ii was announced day
or two ago by the chairman of the com
mittee on banking and currency, thai
there would be no currency reform bill
reported by his committee at this session
of Congress. And why win there be q
bill of that kind reported? The reason
probably is that the Republican party does
not intend TO touch the currency question
in this Congress or the next, for fear o.
differences of opinion in its own ranks. 1

Then, if IL is successful, it may under
