The following letter regarding
the Coligny and the Alabama re-
ceived by a local Confederate
veteran and personal friend OF
many of the officers of the Ala
bama, demonstrates very clearly
with what audacious fakeism
Mons. Gaspard de Coligny is
possessed. Mr.. Armstrong evi
IDENTITY misinterprets the BULLE-
TINS reference to Bartteli. 1t is
far from the intention of this
paper to cast slur upon the name
of any man who followed honor

My friend Mrs. John Mcintosh
Kell, of Sunnyside, Geo., has sent
me q batch of Honolulu papers,
calling my attention to editorials.

the Alabama, and of the claim of
one "Monsieur Gaspard de Col

municate the facts to you.

lance the controversy between the
editors of the EVENING BULLETIN
aud Pacific Commercial Adver-
tisar, bat il the contention be upon
point OF history then the EVEN
ING BULLETIN has the right end
of it. l regret however that in his
editorial he should have alluded to
poor Bartlett in such sneering
manner. Bartelli was Semme's
steward--only servant, but faith
full, and true--even unto DEATH
for he was drowned with the sink
ing Alabama. The date and loca
tions of the Alabama given in the
BULLETINS editorial November

bama Here on first page of the
Advertiser of November 18th is
pure fiction. The Alabama dou-
bled the Cape of Good Hope both
going and returning from the
China Sea; never cruised in the
Pacific Ocean proper, and at no
time was nearer the Sandwich Iel
auds than the Straits of Sunda.
Ii "Mousieur Gaspard de Col
igny" claims to have been an Of
ficer of The Alabama, or to have
been on her in any other capacity,
then he is a fraud--and very
pretentious one too il l may
Judge from the illustrious
name his is sailing under.

could accrue to Prince of Condo,

is lineally descended from the
famous General and AdmirsD,
from service on board the Ala

prompt exposure of all such
frauds as this pseudo-Junlor

Of that undertaking he was in great
measure responsible.
Gov. Saunders was born In Fleming
county. Kentucky. but when he was II
years old his father took him to IL
linois. He worked on farm and
showed his mettle by managing TO Sc
cure a good education In his leisure Pc
riods. In 1886 young Saunders moved
Into Iowa. settling at Mount Pleasant.
He was soon made postmaster there.
and he held the once seven years. He
studied law. but never practiced. pre-
ferring to engage In business as q
merchant and banker. At the age Of
10 his merits were so we'll recognized
BY the people that he was made mem
Der Of the convention that framed the
nrst constitution Of the state, and after
that for eight years he served In the
state senate. In the national republican
convention which nominated Abraham
Lincoln for the presidency. Saunders
had a seat. and the following year he
was made governor OF the territory OF
Nebraska, an Office he held until 1867.
when Nebraska was made state. Al
the beginning OF the war Nebraska had
a population OF only $4,000. but under
Gov. Saunders leadership 1t furnished
5000 men for the national armies. at
the same time carrying on successful
operations against hostile Indians.
As commissioner to organize the Pa
cihc railway. the governor was instru-
mental In causing the Union Pacific
TO cross the Missouri river at Omaha
instead OF at point lower down the
stream. and all during the time OF
construction OF the road he interested
himself In Its progress. In 1868 he
was again a member OF a republican
national convention. From lS77-s3 he
served In the United States senate.
One OF his greatest accomplishments
while holding this office was the read
jus'ment OF the northern boundary .iae
of the state. whereby 100000 acres were
added to the states territory. In late
years Mr.. Saunders had lived a qui..
life. except when some matter OF pub
