thought at first that it was mosquito bite,
but when his lips began to swell to i'm
mense proportions he thought it time to
consult physician. He brought with him
to DR.. Wood the bug that had bitten him,

the famous melanalestes picipes

short supply of provisions and the long
voyage, which any other vessel afloat would
have made in half the time. The copper is
off the ancient crafts bottom below and
above the water line and the paint is worn

as regards color.

THE YOUNG ONE.

The Hawaiian Territorial baby is
one year old today She is fat and
strong, and like all babies, rather i'm
perious at times. The food that best
develops her muscle and size is Mel
Inns (Asiatic) food, of which she has
taken large portions, and would like
more. Her teeth are appearing, and
she has just dispatched an eminent at
tOrney to ask the Supreme Court of the
United States to insert it's fingers into
her mouth, and find out how sharp
they are. She stoutly refuses to be
put into any colonial cradle, or colonial
baby-wagon, but properly insists upon
riding in the national stage-coach,
with no deadIhead limitations. Presi-
dent McKinley's policy of treating her
as all territorial babies have been
treated since the Union was made,
gives her the collie sometimes, and she
screams dreadfully and kicks because
she is quite too young to understand
that the President is a careful and
honest nurse, and knows the proper
treatment of Territorial babies and
will give her the food and clothing
best suited to the station in life which
Providence has assigned to her.

United States Purchasing Islands for

United States Purchasing Islands for
Coaling Stations
New York, Aug. IA dispatch TO the
Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
According to advices from Magel-
Ian straits, the American Minister at
Santiago, Chile, has purchased various
islands OF the Wellington Archipelago
with the object OF establishing coal
ing stations.
A special to the Herald from Wash
ington says:
The Navy Department has long de-
sired a coaling station on the west
coast of Chile, and it is thought not
improbable that our Minister TO Chile
may be conducting negotiations with
a view TO securing a coaling station in
that locality, but action by Congress
will be necessary before it can be ac-
quired. Wellington Island is in lati-
tude 40 degrees south, very near the
coast of Chile. 1t is 1873 miles long and
thirty-five miles wide

A NOTED WOMAN.

Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague who re-
Gently died was the daughter of the
late Chief Justice Chase of the Supreme
| Court and was one of the notable
| women of her times. Her fathers
| position gave her the best social adj
vantages in Washington, and her own
| clegerness and personal beauty made
her leader Gov. Sprague to whom
| she was married during the first year
of the war, was member of the firm
OF Sprague Brothers of Rhode Island,
a concern of enormous wealth, which
had been created by the efforts of an
older generation. The younger gen
GRAFTON, as usual in Amer ca, did not
know the value of money, and the mag
nificent estate went into bankruptcy.
Gov. Sprague was dissolute man from
his youth, and his riotous ways gave
his wife such distress that she finally
secured divorce from him. Mrs
Sprague was natural politician. Her
judgment of men and measures was &C
curate and searching. She gathered
around her many of the most notable
Republicans and was one of their best
advisers. President Arthur consulted
her freely and Senator Conkling, whose
own marital relations were unpleasant,
found in her a most agreeable COM
panion. This friendship gave rise to
the shooting affair at Canonchet, in
fiuence of liquor, made an assault on
the Senator. Mrs. Sprague was bitter
enemy of Mr.. Blaine and rendered
much service to his opponents in de-
feating his election to the Presidency
One of the moralists in Washington,
who had watched the changes in Amer
lean social and political life, often
alluded to the conditions and vicissi-
tudes of American life, as it was ex-
hibited in the rise and fall of these
three conspicuous people. Gov.
Sprague had lost an enormous fortune
as fast" young man; Mrs. Sprague
obtained the highest social success,
and then spent the best part Of her
middle life, with the pressure or
heavy debt upon her. Senator Conk
ling, the most brilliant of the Senators
suddenly disappeared from the politi
cal world and lived the remainder of
his days in solitude, and disgust with
manki ind, although he became sue
cessful lawyer. There is no better
illustration of the ups and downs of
life in America than is here presented.
Each one of these weighed in the
scales what life had given them and
found it wanting" Each one had met
with supreme opportunities. but out
of them they had taken little. The
world was as rugged to them as it
was to the poorest peasant.

THE ANNIVERSARY.

Few ii any regret the act of annex
alton which one year ago made these
Islands a part of the American ter
ritOry. Ii has given us stability in
commercial and political matters, and
will secure in the end the dominance
of American ideas regarding the labor
ing men who are the bone and sinew
of the country.
The President, in Washington, has
been conservative i'm the adniinistra~
ton of the laws of this Territory He
has confirmed the tenure of all occu-
pants of office here, and has disappoint-
ed the hopes of those who desired him
to follow the old rule in political
affairs,-''to clean the rascals out" In
following this course he has not had
this place.
The acquisition of Porto Rico and
the Philippines, has raised some ques-
lions here as to what disposition Con-
gress would make of this Territory
SO far as discriminating laws are con-
cerned. But the Newlands' Resolution,
which contains the contract of anneXa-
ton with Hawaii, provides clearly
that:
Until legislation shall be enacted
extending the United States customs
laws and regulations to the Hawaiian
Islands, the existing customs relations
OF the Hawaiian Islands with the
United States and other countries shall
remain unchanged
This provision secures to us the
commercial advantages we have en-
joyed for many years. Whatever may
be done to other. territories, Congress
has agreed to pass laws which will
continue, and increase these advan-
tages. So far as political rights are
involved, it was plainly understood, IN
the transaction of annexation, that the
Islands would remain as Territory.
subject to the rules of Congress.
There is every reason to rejoice that
we are a part of the American ter
ritory, and let us be thankful to all
who aided in securing annexation, in
Guiding the starving people in Cuba

SECRETARY HAYS ORDER.

Secretary of State John Hay should
have read the local organ of the
Special Agent, and Professional
Patriots, before he issued his order con-
firming Mr. Haywood in his office of
Consul-General of the United States
in Hawaii. If the Constitution extends
to these Islands, there is no authority
for the appointment of such an officer
here A consul-general is appointed
to reside in a foreign State, and his
principal occupation is to certify to the
invoices of goods exported from that
State to America. Neither the Con-
stitution or the laws permit or author
ize the President to appoint Consul
General who shall reside and act on
American territory. Secretary Hay
like the judges of our Territorial
Supreme Court, has not paid close at
tention to what is said here about
the nature and meaning of the Con-
stitution. After his first interview
with Mr.. George D. Gear, he will see
that he has made a fool of himself,
and will dash over to the White House
and tell the President that it was about
time for the government of the United
States to learn something about the
Constitution.
Mr.. Haywood has made an excellent,
an efficient Consul-General, and this
community puts a high value on his
character The State Department does
also. There is, of course, some chance
that the organ of the Constitutional
Extensionists and Mr.. Gear may con-
vince Secretary Hay that he has made
