TONGA, F. l., April 10, 1899.

TONGA, f. l., April 10, 1899.
The hurricane season is now past
and we all feel easier. A tremendous
crop OF copra is in sight, consequent
ly every one is happy, except most
OF the Government officials who have
had their salaries reduced twenty
five percent. The native officials
will not mind that much, as the
Government provides their coats
and brass buttons, and that is all
the clothing they wear with the ex-
ception of their valas, two yards of
calico wound around their loins, but
the great topic now is the coming
wedding OF George Tubou H., King
of the Friendly Islasds, to-no one
knows whom-unti1~ the chiefs de-
eide by vote who is to be Queen of
Tonga. Ola (whose name means
Love- was betrothed while an nfant
to George, and I think is the one
who will wear the beautiful gold
crown just finished and lying on its
crimson cushion in the palace. Hun
dreds Of pounds worth OF jewels,
capes, clothing, wines, etc, have just
arrived on the steamer, while the
dress was made for Lavinui, the
rival of Ola, months ago. Lavinui
also wears the lovely sapphire and
diamond ring presented to her by
the King.
The wedding festivities are ex-
pected to last month, and photo,
graphers are expected from Auck-
land to picture the great event, aud
your readers will receive an account
of the greatest event known in
Tonga.
A secret treaty has been entered
into between Great Britain and
these islands that the flag of the
great nation will not be hoisted un.
less Germany provokes it.
The Free Church has just had its
great event, the money throwing.
Young girls walk up the aisles Of
the church with large tin wash
basins into which the natives throw
their coin with loud bang The
names of each are called out by the
receiver and who has thrown in the
most cash receives loud cheers
When the basins are filed they are
emptied into wash tub at the
Kings side. This thing keeps on
all day among shouts and deafening
yells in Gods house till the last
penny is drawn from the poo
heather. When it is put il sacks
and carted to the missionary
house, no one but he does the count
ing or spending it, and they live il
luxury while the poor native who
has given his last cent from the sale
of his copra goes home hungry, with
perhaps only one vola and subjec
to his name and feeling he has done
his duty. l hear over $4,000 ha
been collected.
l have lived in Hawaii and have
seen the natives robbed of lands
and all they possessed, but neve
saw such business as money throw
ing as practised in the Friendly Isl
ands. Besides this ceremony each
native has to pay shilling quarter
ly for being member of the church
Then there is babies day wher
mothers carry their infants to DROP
their shillings in the wash basins
My heart bleeds for the gentle
hearted native who knows no teach
ing but that of the missionary
which is that it is better for them te
give than to receive.

times as insoluble gun cotton because
it cannot be dissolved in alcohol and
ether like collodion cotton di-nitro-cell-

freshly made, produced fairly good re-
suits, quite as good as those produced
oy the French powder, but upon keep

with great violence. Investigation
showed that about l to per cent of the
solvent was still in the powder when

Local News Dealer Was Among the Pas
sengers on the Stalled Train.

r. A. Easton, the newsdealer was a
passenger on the snowbound train. He
said to a Spy man last evening that it was
a trip he should remember for some time
to come. Mr.. Easton went to Boston early
in the day and took the train for home
expecting to arrive before o'clock When
the train hands said that they were UNI
able to reach the Union station, Mr..
Easton declared that he would brave the
storm and walk into the city. He tied a
towel which he borrowed from the porter
of the Wagner car over his head and in
company with two other resolute souls
started down the tracks for home.
1t took nearly an hour for Mr. Baston to
reach his store, and when he arrived
there he was completely tired out.
Mr.. Easton said that he found plenty to
eat on the train and would have remained
aboard IL he had not been very anxious
to get to his place of business before 10
o'clock.
He said that the snow all along tho
line from Boston was very deep and that
the train was bothered from the time 1t
left the Kneeland street station until 1t
struck the bank of snow in the deep
cut"
The passengers he said, were all men
with the exception of one lady, whom he
understood resided in Worcester. He said
she was accompanied by her husband and
seemed to rather enjoy the situation.

AN HISTORIC NILE STEAMBOAT
(lTrom the London Graphic }

4t (ErOm Jlle LOnuoQ Gfapnlf,)
At midday on September some three
hundred Englishmen embarked at Omdur-
man on boyd the Borden, which was
commanded by Major Gordon, r. E., the
nephew of the great general. Owing to
the shallow water the steamer could not
come in close to the bank. and small
boat had to be used. The process of en-
barkation was slow, and gave one a good
opportunity Of studying the lines Of this
celebrated old craft, while waiting ones
turn to be taken on board.
Surely no boat that swims today can
boast a history so full of vicissitudes and
tragic incident as the Borden. Had they
tongues each plate and plank of the old
paddle steamer could unfold tale Of I'M
rtvalled horrors and atrocities. 1t will be
remembered that she was wrecked In the
from Khartoum with Sir Charles Wilson
and Major Wortley on board, after their
fruitless effort to relieve Gen. Gordon
Since that day she has been In the hands
and down the Nile on their raiding ex-
petitions. Only last Friday she was min
istering TO these monsters OF brute blood
thirstiness and rapine. and four days later
she returned to her original vocation, that
of a pleasure steamboat, once on the
river Thames. She is riddled with bullets
and shels-more than half of her port pad
diebox Is torn away way, yet she can steam team
stream of the Nile. In her engine room
there Is a brass plate bearing the name of
the firm which built her, John Penn
Brothers, Greenwich" and her present
efficiency, after all these years of knock
ing about, is an eloquent tribute to the
solid workmanship of British shipbuilders
and engineers.
The 7rels" who piloted her in Gordon's
time was still on board and directed her
course from the bridge, with Gordons
nephew standing beside him.
