HONOLULU POST.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26-The fact
that Honolulu is to become a most
important post of the army becomes
more certain every day. Major Lang
fit, commanding the battalion of en-
gineers, has been asked to lose no
time in leaving for Honolulu, in adj
vance of his command. Being a skill
ed engineer, he will make a prelimi-
nary survey of the harbor and plan
in superficial way the Notifications
that will be erected at once. The de-
lenses are to be of the most modern
and formidable kind.
"Uncle Sam will make Honolulu i'm
pregnable," said a prominent officer
last night. THE city is 10 be a ma
val and military base and will be the
site of the strongest Notifications in
the world, if money and brains can
construct them. This will take time,
but meanwhile steps will be taken so
that the city will not be open to at
tack. A reservation will be secured
by the army, and on it will be erect
ed barracks and houses for officers,
to form a post of considerable size.
Just how many men will compose
the garrison cannot be said, but look
for several thousand to be detailed
for the Islands within the next three
months. Before three years have
elapsed Honolulu and Pearl Harbor
will be able to defy the battleships
of any hostile nation. The next Con.
gress will be asked to make a large
appropriation for this purpose, and
millions will be spent in the work"

Plan TO RAISE The COLON
LIEUTENANT HOBSON DESCRIBES
HIS SCHEME.
Cruiser of Seven Thousand Tons on
Her Beam Ends Almost Completely
Submerged on Shelving Beach.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Lieutenant
Hobson announced today that the
Merritt and Chapman Wrecking and
Derrick Company had consented to
undertake the recovery of the Cristo-
bal Colon and was making every eff
fort to begin the work as soon as
possible.
1.-THE difficulty of saving the Co
lon," he said, Lies in the complete
submergence, upon her beam-ends. of
a steamer of 1000 tons. Only short
portion of her stern is clear of water,
which fills her whole interior. The
beach upon which she lies is exceed
ingly shelving, forming a part, in
fact, of the mountains which there
rise out of the sea. In short, all the
conditions are present which render
the righting and raising of the ship
an engineering feat of large proper
tions. At the same time it is simple
and quite feasible. No new applian-
ces are needed, nothing to be invented,
it is simply a question of getting to
the spot in time with the accepted
means and methods on a sufficient
scale"
As to the plan for raising the Co.
lon. Lieutenant Hobson said: eve
will run the pontoons alongside of the
Colon, submerge them, and after the
chains under the bottom of the ship
have been fastened to the pontoons
and frightened the pontoons will be
pumped out. At the same time we
will use air pumps in trying to force
the water out of her air chambers
and water tight compartments. If
many of these compartments are
found to be in good condition. this
combined force from the outside and
inside will be sufficient to raise the
Colon several feet. If they are not
sufficient then air bags will be put
in her hold and inflated by compress
ed air.
Every time the ship is raised a
few feet from the bottom she will be
towed farther in shore, so that after
several easy stages she will be high
enough out of the water to make all
the necessary repairs. / think it will
be fully two weeks before the work
of raising the Colon can begin"

Ar COLUMBUS.

The plot thickens in Columbus, but it
is becoming evident that unless the OPP
ponents of Hanna have a more definite
plan than they now have and work at
1t more definitely than they are now do
ing they will not succeed. Anything
to beat Hanna is rather impressive
war cry, but it will take something to
do 1t. His opponents do not appear to
be united on candidate, and the indi-
cations are that they will have great
difficulty in uniting on one, even if they
can stay united In opposition to Hanna.
Meanwhile Hanna's supporters are
working vigorously and definitely and
they are cheered and encouraged by the
fact that the sentiment Of the Republic
can party throughout the country is
strongly with them. They seem to be
already gaining on their opponents,
and it would not be surprising if the
whole plot should come to an inglorious
end If it shouldn't and If Hanna should
be defeated the Republican party would
have cause to mourn.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
According to the ancient story, when
the mysterious Phoenix felt the chill
and the infirmities of age, it immediate
ly built and fired its own funeral pyre,
and then from it's own ashes arose on
it's mighty wing, strong and resplen-
dant in the beauty Of youth, and flew
away into unknown regions!
This ancient story is usually regarded
as fable which served to voice the
belief of our ancestors in their own
immortality. Modern science, however,
has shown that it is almost literally
true! The chief difference lies in the
fact that instead of building its own
funeral pyre as represented, the mystic
rious bird adheres to natures well
known methods by EMBEDDING itself in a
peculiar ovum which is provided with
all that is necessary for spontaneous
combustion at the right moment.
These oya enfolding a genuine Phoe-
nix are not very plentiful of course in
these degenerate days. Nevertheless
woods and other solitary places. Dea-
con e. G. Hungerford of Chester, Conn,
q lover of the forest and the solitude,
found one recently under an oak tree on
Pelton hill in that town. and, having a
friend In New Haven who is deeply in
terested in such curios, he sent 1t to him
together with some very carefully writ
ten descriptions how to proceed to
evolve therefrom the rejuvenated Phoe-
nix.
That the fact might be thoroughly es-
tablished, this friend invited a number
of intelligent witnesses on the evening
Of the Sd inst. to come and watch the
operation from the beginning to the
end.
On opening the box in which it had
been carefully packed. the ovum was
placed on an earthen plate according to
directions where all could see 1t plain
ly. Although it appeared to be plump
In form, 1t nevertheless looked very old
and in color resembled an Egyptian
mummy.
Assuming, as suggested by Deacon
Hungerford, that fire was indispensa.
BILE to true success, an ignited match
was applied while all the witnesses
stood on the tip-toe of expectation
And, wonderful to tell, the moment the
flame from the burning cotton touched
the ovum an intensely hot flame OF
many brilliant colors shot forth from it
and filled the room with light and heat
and pungent odors. AS soon as this
startling phenomenon was over eact

and THERE HAS A GREAT CALM.
When the New York stock market
opened at 10 o'clock Monday morning
thousands had their eyes on 1t in the
expectation Of a prompt boom. There
wasn't any boom. Many of the people
of New Haven got the notion that when
the new Police commissioners met last
evening there would be an immediate
earthquake or punctual cyclone in the
Police department. But there was
neither. Some routine business was
calmly done, and President Ullman was
calmly deposed from the place which
he has well and Loyalty filled. Those
who expected excitement will be some-
what disappointed but they were
wrong in expecting it. 1t will take the
new board some time to learn the
ropes and when it has learned them it
may not pull them violently. There
will be another meeting two weeks from
tonight, and two weeks will give ample
time for more guessing. There are
those who guess that the new commits
sion is going to do business well and
without too much politics. If those
who thus guess guess right they and
the city will be entitled to crow.

PRESIDENTIAL PARDONs.

President Mckinley Is a kind man,
and he has felt moved to do considera-
BILE pardoning since he became Presi-
dent. People who have not approved of
some of his pardons have felt moved
to criticise him rather severely and they
have charged him with being excep-
doning power. An examination of the
facts shows that while President Nc
Kinley has pardoned ninety-seven con-
viots in the ten months Of his term,
Grover Cleveland pardoned two hun
bred and twenty criminals In the last
ten months Of his administration For
the graver offenses the pardon records
during a similar length Of time of the
two presidents were as follows: Coun-
terfeiting, Cleveland 1, Mckinley 12;
violation of postal laws, Cleveland %,
Mckinley %; violation revenue laws,
Cleveland 10, Mckinley s; violation ma
tional banking laws, Cleveland 10, Nc
Kinley IA; manslaughter, Cleveland 6,
Mckinley 1; larceny, Cleveland 10, Nc
Kinley Z; robbing United States mail,
Cleveland 2, Mckinley 5, and murder
Communications, Cleveland s, McKin-
ley 4.
OF course the fact that President Nc
Kinley has not equalled Cleveland's
pardoning record doesn't prove that the
former hasn't been too free with par
dons. But it does show that some of
the assertions that have been made are
not true
