IF war is to be The same, orders will
probably go to our troops in the Philip
pines to begin active operations. Havana
will be promptly bloChdded d second time
and troops will begin pouring into Cuba as
fast as we can get transports to send
them"
The cabinet cfficial who is quoted doubts
whether the Spaniards would fight in Cuba
They have sent away about 10000 men and
have troubles among their troops. Many of
the troops sent back to Spain were sick
men. but d g6Gd percentage were hardy
soldiers and officers, whose services would
be needed.
1t is suggested that the Spaniards may.
want 10 relieve themselves of the Philip
pine bonded Indebtedness by taking this
step, believing that some authorities would
say that the debt then belonged 10 the
United States. which must assume it in
taking possession of the islands.

Louis X. McGrew, son of the we'll
known Dr. McGrew, and one of the
kamaainas of this country, who re-
turned from abroad about four years
ago, left for Manila on the Christmas
ship ST. Paul yesterday morning. Louis

quite a delegation of his friends and
was given the customary farewell
tokens All who know Mr.. McGrew
will wish him we'll out in the Philip

WHARF AND WAVE.

a southeast wind with heavy
squalls was reported in the Kauai
channel by the steamer MaZama yes
terday.
The United States gunboat Benning-
ton was ablaze with electric lights
from stem TO stern last night for a re-

Capt. Underwood, of the bark Fres-
no, lumber laden from Port Townsend,
which arrived in port last evening, re-

Two British banks bearing the
same name, Dominion, are on their
way to Honolulu. Both are coal lad
en-, one from Baltimore, Capt. Jones,
and one from Newcastle, Capt. Beg

the Nicaraguan flag.
Quite a fleet of deep water craft will
sail out today: The British ship West
gate, Neville, for Port Angeles, in bal
last; the American schooner Endeav-
or, McAllep, to Port Townsend for
orders, and the American bark c. d.

The directors of the North German
Lloyd Company announce that the
earnings of the boats in the first half
of the present year are greater than
those Of the corresponding period of
last year, in spite of the Spanish-Am-
erican war, and that there is good
prospect Of an equally good result for
the latter half of 1898. At the trial Of
the North German Lloyd's steamer
Kaiser Friedrich, on the 4th uitimo,
the average speed attained was said to
be a little ever % miles per hour.
That the P. and o. company have
ordered from Messrs. DOXfOrd and
Sons one of those strangely modelled
steamers known as turretS" will
cause little surprise after the stylish
looking class of cargo-carrierS the old
established line has boosted. Neverthe-
less it is so, and the fact of the order
being given may be taken as indica-
tive of the change which has taken
place in shipowners' opinion regarding
this particular type of steamer. There
was a time, not so many years ago,
when Lloyd's underwriters would not
look at turret risk, but all that has
since changed.

vover to cover Grizzle, when Gimp
caught her father in her arms, swinging
him over to the fireman's seat, pulled the
throttle Selling her fathers six-shooter,
turned and sent bullet crashing
through the robbers brain. With seem
ing superhuman strength she seized him
as he pitched forward, and as the eugine
lurched on slight curve, she threw his
body headlong from the engine, which.
freed from the train and under full head
of steam, was leaping, flying and swing
ing up grade through smoke, flre and
fog, as if conscious that it was the last
moment available to speed over the al
ready heated rails before they warped
under the influence OF the raging prairie
fire.
Flames seized the train and consumed
it, but not until the passengers had es
capped and the robbers had looted he ex-
press car.
When "69" reached the tip top Of the
grade beyond the timber, and out OF the
reach of flames and bullets, Gimp shut
down, and forcing Colby off the foot
board for his cowardice, hurried on to
Columbia with her wounded father,
where railroad officials were notified OF
what had occurred and surgical aid was
obtained for the wounded engineer.
The road has pensioned her on en-
gineers' halfpay, and she holds herself in
readiness to meet the occasional call of
the road to run an extra that pulls an

saw that on such occasions mo SO" pulls

Death of a Noted Abolitionist i.

Calvin Fairbank, whose death occurred
suddenly at his home in Angelica, N. Y,
Oct. 10, was one OF the noted orr
ginal band OF abolitionists. and one who
suffered as much for his faith and works
as any other man. Indeed, his imprison-
ment of full 20 years, in the course of
which he was half.starved and repeated
ly logged, is almost il not quite without
parallel. Fairbank was native ofPike,
n. Y, and born in 1916. He became an
abolitionist in early life. when Fred
Douglass and Wendell Phillips and Will
liam Lloyd Garrison were in their heat
OF denunciation of the peculiar institu-
ton. He moved westward in the early
thirties, and while rafting logs down the
Ohio took aboard the first fugitive slave
he rescued; then he went into the under
ground railroad business and ran many
a slave across the Ohio and into Canada.
For this work he was sentenced to 20
years in Kentucky prison. Released
after only three years he resumed his
work, but was caught just as he had
started his 47th slave on the way to
freedom. He was caught in Kentucky
and sentenced to 20 years in the peniten
tiary at Frankfort. He served out II
years of that sentence. when he was par
doned by Lieut.. Gov. Jacobs, during thu
absence Of Gov. Magofhn, and in re
Spouse to dispatch from President Lin
coin, so that Fairbanks was set free il
March, 1864. The story of his imprison
ment in Frankfort peniteutiary wa
made romantic by the devotion of hi
second wife, who was Mandana Tilesto
Of Williamsburg in this state, and whor
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1898-10-26

he married after his release. But that is
another story. Afterward Mr.. Fairbank
was employed by missionary and other
religious societies. An incident of his life
as an abolisionist is thus related in the
New York Sum-
In Jail at Lexington. KY, Mr.. Fair
bank found among the prisoners, in
March, 1843, young woman of ex-
quisite beauty of face and figure, who.
although only one.sixty-fourth African
blood. was to be sold as slave for the
New Orleans market. Fairbank heard
her story. and hurrying off to Cincinnati
raised $2275 from Salmon P. Chase,
Nicholas Longworth and other promi
nent citizens. At the sale, attended by
thousands of people who had heard of
the beautiful girl, Fairbank and little
Frenchman from New Orleans were the
only bidders. When Fairbank had bid
$1450, and the Frenchman besitated, the
auctioneer began tearing off the girls
clothing until she stood naked. Cries Of
"Shame!" arose. Fairbank, badly
wanting to shoot the auctioneer, bid
$14S5, and the Frenchman gave it up.
When the auctioneer cried "Sold!" the
girl fell in a swoon, and when the crowd
heard that Fairbank was buying to free
her great shout went up. The girl is
still living having married in Ohio.

One of Lincoln's Stories.

A New York firm applied to Abraham
Lincoln, some years before he became
president, for information as to the finan-
cial standing Of one of his neighbors.
Mr.. Lincoln replied as follows "Yours
of the 10th inst. received. am well ac-
uuainted with Mr.. X, and know his cir
cumstances. First of all, he has wife
and baby; together, they ought to be
worth fifty thousand dollars. Secondly,
he has an office, in which there is table
worth one and half dollars, and three
chairs, worth, say, one dollar. Last Of
all, there is in one corner a large rat-hole,
which will bear looking into. Respect
fully yours, A. LNcoLN."--[San Fran

WilIed to Barnum's Circus.

An old farmer in Michigan has made
his will in favor of Barnum's Circus. He
left his old homestead to his wife, but his
$4,000 he would have 60 to the show
which gave him pleasure. Such will is
of course called Eccentric" and the old
mans relatives mean to contest it. But
why? He evidently had more fun from
the circus than from their society, and
wished to show his appreciation of the
fact. Wills are always interesting read
ing to somebody, but it is not often that
the public hears of will containing
more entertaining provision than this
grateful one to the giraffes, the elephants
and the classic clown.-[ Boston Tran

But the republicans are making vigor-

Aldrich of Rhode Island, Davis of Mime

rows of Michigan and Quay of Pennsyl-

other republicans. The seats OF Clark Of
Wyoming and Wilson OF Washington
are claimed by democrats, but the repub-
leans IN these states report that by hard
fighting they will win.
Eight democratic senators are doubt
ful OF reelection, and four are almost
certain of defeat. The democratic COM
mittee fear losses in Wisconsin, New Jer-
sey, Delaware and North Dakota. Thew
are also apprehensve OF New York, West
Virginia and Indiana.
Should the democrats win in Wyoming
and Washington and loose in New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Wisconsin and North Da-

AZ out of90 in the fiity.sixth Congress.
To these may be added one each from
New York, West Virginia, Indiana and
California, with Wyoming and Washing

The republicans evidently count on alb

that they will retain an ample majority
in the House of Representatives.

In respect of the tariff Heit6eld of Idaho,
