whence, when ten years of age, he re-
moved to Detroit with his parents, and
lived there until some sixteen years of
age, in the mean time receiving a
sound education. He early showed a
decided taste for scientific and mechan-
ical studies, and this characteristic
largely developed during a two years
course in mechanics and civil and min
ing engineering at the Troy, n. Y,
Polytechnic Institute. In accordance
with the desire of his father, young
Walbridge, having acquired the theory
went to Idaho to perfect himself in
the practice of mining, and engineer
ing applied thereunto. Having accom-
plished this object some two years
later he returned to Troy and resumed
his studies at the institute, from
which he graduated as a qualified Civil
Engineer in 1871.
Mr.. Walbridge being then of age
again went West to engage in his
chosen profession; and for the follow
ing seven years, as mining engineer,
fic and milling work in various min
ing enterprises in Arizona, Nevada and
Idaho. In 1878 he first came to the
Hawaiian Islands, at the request of the
proprietors of the Wailuku Plantation;
his main object being to Investigate
the sugar-making industry. In 1880,
upon the death of his father, he re-
turned to his native State, and re-
manned there until 1884, when he once
more came to the Island Kingdom,
home
His knowledge of sugar-growing and
milling, together with his qualifica-
tions as scientific and expert en-
gineer and mechanician, secured for
him the position of assistant manager
of the Wailuku Plantation. He hero
made himself so valuable to the own
ers that a year afterwards he assumed
full charge of the fine property, with
the title and emoluments of manager.
A man, acquainted with the various
methods in use in sugar-making. he
also possessed much business tact,
skill and managerial ability of a high
order He was known among sugar
men as one of the most scientific as
well as practical managers on these
Islands.
In 1890, Mr.. Walbridge was elected
to the House of Mobiles in the legisla-
ture, for a term of four years. Studf-
Gus, fond of books, he was extremely
popular and we'll liked, being an in
teresting talker on general subjects,
but more particularly so on his favor

sion should be made for half a hundred
or an even hundred more vessels. To
my notion that can be done only by
going into the Kalihi basin. The
problem will then be solved. l would
also suggest that for the present more
of the deep water in the neighborhood
of the boat houses should be used for
the shipping. This would be a hard
blow to the yachting fraternity, but 1t
would be an appreciable advantage to
business. 1t will be recalled that when
the U. S. S. Olympia was expected in
this port in the fall of 1895, the Gov
ernment dredger was used in prepar-
ing a special basin in naval row, as
the Olympia had greater draught than
any vessel before candidate for the
white line anchorage. Well, at that.
time the dredger bored right into coral
and sent heavy stream OF the same
over in the neighborhood of the coal
bunkers on the railway premises. I
presume the dredger can do that sort
of work Indefinitely. If am correct I
see no reason why a good many hun
dreds or even thousands of anchorage
could not be added to the harbor by
cutting into the reef back OF naval
row. The time is coming very soon
now when the harbor must to some
extent be divided or set off into Sec
tions. Let the lumber all go to one
place, the coal to another, the iron to
another and the general merchandise
to another. Discharging would be
greatly facilitated, as special provision
would be made and maintained for the
handling of the freight designated to
the various localities. i suggest that
the Chamber of Commerce special or
select committee be made a permanent
body and that the Chamber hold a
series of meetings for discussion of
wharf matters alone. If we are to do
big business here we must have ade-
quate arrangements for it. Now that
the Cabinet has shown a willingness
to do what is right and to act without
parley,. it seems to me that the whole
business community has a chance to
do grand and valuable work of the
lasting quality

The Facts I'm the Case.

The elaborate and careful statement by
General Otis, given out by the War De-
partment. is complete vindication, II
any were needed, of the attitude Vi
the United States in the Philippines. BAD
faith on the one side and intelligent hdel-
ty on the other appear in every part OF Tue
correspondence and accompanying relation
of facts That the Filipinos conti!ved tne
situation is clear General Otis goes over
the entire field, and seems to have left
nothing unexplained.
Beginning at the beginning. the Amerl-
can Commander shows Aguinaldo availing
himself of the presence Of the United
States forces to resume military operations
against Spain after he and his co-leaders
had agreed. for a money consideration. 10
remove permanently from the islands.
They landed from American vessels and
were supplied by Americans with arms and
ammunition. Nevertheless they hastenca
to declare an independent republic in the
Philippines, having before that arrogantly
warned the United States authorities not
to land troops without the consent OF
Aeuinaldo. After the capitulation Aguinal-
do demanded to be put into possession
of the public buildings in Manila Eric
tion increased between the rightful occu-
pants by treaty and the man who secured
his only footing in Luzon through Ameri-
can aid Finally. early in January OF this
year, correspondence was opened between
Aguinaldo aud General Otis. at the sug-
gestion of conservative Filipinos. The
conferences following were fruitless be-
cause Aguinaldo meant that they should
| be.
The troubles. as is well known. culmt-
mated in February. Americans were ar
| rested. officers and men were openly in
| suited by Aguinaldo's force. and the out
| posts of the United States Army attacked
al night. No remonstrance availed. The
assaults continued. An American picket
challenged Filipino. and the latter refus-
| ing to halt the picket discharged his gun
| and the Aguinaldians opened fire on oui
| troops.
These and other damning facts have gont
| into the history of this causeless contest
The story is well and convincingly told by
General Otis.

WILD IDEAS OF A LAWYER.
Imagines Nancy Guilford Wants Il
Dissect His Anatomy.


Waterbury. Conn, June 1--Walter l..
Frisbie, a prominent young lawyer Of this
city. worth $4,000. is suffering from pc
culiar form of dementia. For several days
his case has attracted attention. He has
a belief that he is being pursued by DR..
Nancy Guilford the main figure in the En-
ma Gill murder case. He says that she is
after him with a big, black bag. and that
she wants to cut him into mincemeat.
1t is with difficulty that he can be per-
the Scoyille House. for fear of meeting
Nancy and the black bag. Yesterday morn
ing he slept in the hotel telephone booth.
He may have to be sent to sanitarium,
but as he has no relatives here friends are
at loss what to do. He is said to have
a sister in South Dakota or Kansas. A
second cousin. living in Bristol, Conn, has
been sent for.
Mr. Frisbie is a graduate OF the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology and of the
Yale law school. His grandfather died a
few years ago. and left him a large amount
OF improved real estate in the centre of
the city Since leaving the law school he
has lived quietly on the income from his
practice and the revenue from his real es-
tate His father was a suicide. and he has
always been considered odd. Just what
to do with him is a problem
1t is said that his attentions to a promi-
nent society girl were repuised by men,
bers of her family. and that ever since he
has been morose and respondent. His case

The Degradation of 1t.
(From the Baltimore SUM


The great body Of thoughtful voters are advo-
Gates of the civil service system. and even Pres-
dent Mckinley, who has been accounted one OF
the most ardent champions OF the law, was in
accord with their views as late as March I, 1sg'.
when in his inaugural address, he said: AS .
member of Congress l voted and spoke in favor
of the present law. and l shall attempt its en-
forcemcnt in the spirit in which it was enacted.

efficient service OF the best who would ac-

suggest that they appoint only the best men,

and to the party, regardless of their qualifca-

secure only 'the most efficient service OF the
best men who would accept Office" he would
not have modified the law in the faintest degree.
To permit the spoilsmen to fix the qualifications

Private Property mt Sea.

The decision to discuss the American PROPOSE
tion for the exemption of private property from
seizure at sea in time Of is a signal tri-
umph for the United States, and if the Congress
finally gives its sanction to this provision a
reasonable and enlightened step forward in mar
itime warfare will have been taken, largely
through the consistent and determined attitude
of American statesmen for more than century.
From the beginning of this nations career 1t
has striven for the principle Of exemption Of pri-
vate property from capture at Sea, which Is
merely the application Of the rule which now
governs and for a long time has prevailed on
land. It was embodied in FrankIin's treaty with
Prussia in 17s5; John Quincy Adams, as Secretary
Of State, proposed a convention for the purpose
Of adopting the rule in 1879 with England,
France. and Russia without success, and in 1855,
when the powers assembled in Paris and signed
the declaration on maritime law by which phi
watering was abolished. Secretary Marcy refused
to commit the United States to that declaration
solely because the powers would not consent to
adopt the broad principle OF general exemption
of all private property, except contraband Of
war. England has heretofore been the chief OBJ
stacle to the adoption OF the policy, and now
that England has joined the United States, II Is
reported, in consenting to the adoption Of the
policy, the prospects are bright for making .
distinct advance in international Law. II arhi-
tratioa shall be recognized by the powers as .
vital principle, and II private property shall be
made exempt from capture in war as a result
Of the Peace Conference. The Hague Congress
will not be held in vain.

FILIPINO INGENUITY.
How They Utilize Remington Rifles
to Fire Mnuser Bullets.

How They Utilize Remington Rifles
to Fire Mauser Bullets.
Capt. Frank F. Eastman. who has re-
Gently returned from the Philippines has
presented to the Ordnance Department an
interesting device by which the Filipinos
utilize old Remington cartridge shells to
enable them to fire Mauser bullets from
Remington rifles. Captain Eastman says
that many of the insurgents are supplied
with Remington rifles. but they have moth
ing but Mauser ammunition. Large quanti-
ties Of empty Remington shells are to be
obtained, however, and to make the Maui
ser cartridge ft the Remington rifles they
cut a hole in the head Of the exploded
Remington shells and insert the cartridge
SO that the latter has an outer Jacket
which fits without trouble to their guns.
In a measure, this accounts for the inac-
curate firing of the Filipinos. AS the bull
let Is not made for the Remington rife IT
does not fit and Is too small to take the
rifiing so that it is impossible to fire them
With any degree Of accuracy.
Another feature Of this kind Of shooting &
is that the bullet frequently dattens out in
its passage and when it does strike makes
a very jagged wound. At other times II
expands 30 that It jams the gun and makes
1t useless.

The Hou.ehold Column.

He thinks that the average housewife. II
she followed those suggestions. would find
herself about $3.50 in debt ut the end Of
the week.
Household columns are amusing things
to the reader with q philosophic turn Of

intended for the perusal Of that American
institution. the lady who does her own
work-the housewife whose means will not
