EVERY INCH a KING.
Was Kalakaua When 1t Came to
Much Mixing of Drinks.

Was Kalakaua When 1t Came to
Much Mixing of Drinks.
From the San Francisco Daily Report
David Belenberg spent 5000 on grand
military drunk at st. Michael. Belenberg.
returning Klondiker, conceived the hap
Ply idea of having the artillery drink
against the infantry, and, having more
money than brains, carried this idea into
effct. Unfortunately for those interested
in the statistics of science the results of
this military debauch were not carefully
and conscienttously noted and the world
will never know which branch of the SER
vice developed the greater carrying capa-
city.
The st. Michael incident reminds us Of
an episode in the career Of the late King
Kalakaua. During one Of his visits to
this city he was taken to Mare Island on
a naval vessel, and the guests on this
occasion included a dozen or two army
officers, some of whom were young, lively
and out for fun. The navy officers and
the army officers had a quiet little talk,
and it was agreed that as the navy off,
GERS had their regular work to do, they
could not take a social glass, and there
fore, 1t was the duty of the army officers
to see that his majesty was properly
corned and II possible laid out on the trip
to the island. The fun waxed fast and
furious In the officers quarters and the
flowing bowl was kept in constant mo-
ton, toast after toast was offered, and
on every occasion Kalakaua drank to the
full limit accepting every challenge from
an army man. BY the time the vessel
rounded Mare Island light most of the
army officers were resting on the couches
of the navy officers, but Kalakaua, steady
as a rock bright. smiling and genial, still
the center of a group in the wardroom,
was ready, willing and even eager to
drink to every sentiment for hosts might
offer. Arrived at Mare Island. he walked
ashore. as dignified as ever, bowling gra-
ciously to the right and left, and in the
reception hall he met the officers and
ladies' in his easy, affable way, and charm
ed one and all with his courtly manners
and happy style. 1t was glass Of cham
payne with Mrs. So-and-So, glass of
punch with Mrs So-and-So, champagne
with the admiral, punch with the other
officers, and at the close of the day he re-
turned to the ship, came back to the city,
had his dinner at the Palace as usual,
and in the evening received a few visitors
and was the honored guest at a social
gathering.
In army circles to this day, whenever
any one says this man or that man can
carry off a large amount of hot and fiery
liquors with ease ana comfort, there is
almost always some one to say: "Oh,
yes. he is a pretty hardheaded man, but
YOU should have seen Kalakaua on the
Mare Island trip

Tzi An and Catherine of Russia.
From Harper's Weekly.


Is China profiting by the Russian alli-
ance to the extent of drawing lessons
from the history of her somewhat over
shadowing neighbor? 1t may be so; indeed,
II is not inconceivable that some friendly
Russian diplomat may have suggested to
the Empress mother of the Celestial En-
pre a study of the career and methods of
another Empress mother, who hourlshed
in Russia some two centuries ago. Recent
events at Pekin have certain rich Russian
flavor about them suggestive of some at
least. of the methods of the Empress Cath
crime, and their occurrence at a time Wnen
ST. Petersburg and Pekin are so closely in
sympathy is curiously suggestive. How
far the moon faced dowager, who has sup
planted her son at Pekin is capable OF the
role of the great but unamnabie Empress
of Russia must be as yet a matter of
doubt. but it would almost appear as II
she were ambitious of making the at
tempt The robe of Caesar however, fits
rot every one: and If the revolution at Pc
kin has indeed been suggested by RUSSIA,
there are many reasons for supposing that
the Dowager Empress will meet with
many difficulties which were absent from
the path of her imperial prototype who
lorded it so proudly on the banks of the
Neva. 1t may be, indeed, doubted wheth-
er China Is exactly the place, and, still
more, whether the close of this century is
precisely the time, for a successful repe-
tition of the great career of Catherine or
Russia.
