a delightful companion, to which add
an untiring perseverance and energy
with an enormous capacity for work,
and you have a brief sketch of this
remarkable man.
He embraced in his work all fields
associated with his speciality, differing
in this respect from Joseph Leidy who,
though covering a wider range, con-
fined himself mainly to investigation.
description and classification. while
Cope, in addition to these, devoted
much attention to generalizations.
phylogenetic schemes and philosophi-
cal speculations, and it is in these lines
perhaps that his influence was most
marked. His publications, which are
voluminous, consist for the most part
of contributions to the reports of the
United States Geological Survey. of
which he was for time paleontolo-
gist; to the proceedings of the Ameri-
can Philosophical Society. to the PRO
ceedings of the Academy of Natural
Sciences and the American Naturalist.
of which he was editor, and two vol
umes, one the 'Origin of the Fittest. .
published in 1887; the other. Primary
Factors in Organic Evolution" which
appeared last year.
AS an evolutionist he belonged to
that section known as the Neo-La-
MARKHAM: in fact, he was the princi-
pal advocate of this school, which con-
tends that Darwin's law of natural Sc
lection does not entirely satisfy all the
requirements of organic evolution
that the law. to which Herbert Spen-
Ger has given the more comprehensive
name of survival of the fttest." is de-
fective. inasmuch as it does not cover
the origin of the fttest Darwin's con-
tention that the tendency to variation

Therefore, while sustaining natural Sc
lection so far as in their Judgment il
satisfies the requirements, they have
recourse to the Lamarckian hypothesis
of "use and disuse" and "inheritanee
of acquired characters" as supple-
mental to it. and as capable of explain
ing the disputed point. In order to do
this. however. it is necessary to find
a directing cause other than natural
selection for use aud disuse." This
Professor Cope does by attributing it
to organic effort, conscious effort. thus

basis of organic evolution

The most noticeable feature was
the almost unanimous desire Of the
lawyers present to put stop to
further litigation, because Of the
laws delays and the injurious effect
of litigation on the share markets,
particularly the share most concern
ed. 1t was assumed, evidently, that
the passage OF the resolution to in
crease the stock of the Waialua
Company would at once put a stop
to litigation, whereas we are advised
that an injunction to prevent the
proposed increase OF shares would
surely have followed the proposed
action OF the meeting.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-10-27

1t was also noticeable that the
lawyers for and against Mr.. Dilling-
ham bowed to the decision OF Judge
Perry, nursing no vain regrets. That
the action to be taken was cut and
dried and carried out to the line was
also observable. As was the fact
that the only Hawaiian speaker
gracefully straddled the situation.
Mr.. Tenny, OF Castle & Cooke felt,
his position as majority stock
holder and defed the small stock
holders to come forward and explain
to him the reasons for their alleged
grievances. He took occasion to
eulogize the firm OF Castle & Cooke
which had always been above board.
fHe didn't refer to the two occa-
sions when it was "above boards"
only through the good offices OF G.
II. Bishop.)
He was arrogant aud dictatorial,
because he knew that the Dilling-
ham proposition OF watering the
stocks will eventually carry, Mr..

The Melancholy Dane

To- morrow evening the Clay Gle
ment company will appear a! the
Opera House for the last time dur
ing his season.
Hamlet" is the play to be- pro.
duced aud the old admirers OF the
Bard ought to go there with their
children and introduce to the COM
ing generation the masterpiece of
Shakespeare.
This is what the D-troit Times
said about Clay Clement when he
played Hamlet at the Lyceum in
Detroit to a full house:
Clay Clement gave Detroiters an
other taste OF his quality at the
Lyceum theater last night as Ham
let. This part. in which many TRACE.
dians, even the greatest, have had
but indifferent success, ia the best on
the stage by which to Judge the
capabilities of an ac oe The range
of feeling in it is almost Infinite
from the most delicate, almost play
ul,satire o.ths profoundest passions
OF the human heart The claims Of
Mr.. Clement to the e. rank, there
fore, can in measure be judged by
his work last night. He has changed
the order OF some OF the scenes OF
the play, his purpose evidently he
ing to give force to his ideal OF the
character. In this ideal Mr.. Clement
has shown his independence, at
least. He aims to give no psychical
study, 80 called, aud seldom does
the melancholy Dane drop into
melancholy mood. His Hamlet is a
sane man, who Stimulates insanity
only for his purpose. His passion
for Ophelia is exceeded only by his
passion for vengeance for his fathers
murder. Mr.. Clement has a clear
cut idea OF what he wants to accom-.
plish and goes at it vigorously. That
he attains his purpose there is no
doubt. His Hamlet is a great per-
sonality, full of the vigor of youth.
If at times he shows too great haste
in his movements, even to the sacri-
fee of dignity, and his reading is
uneven in places, time will wear
away these faults and mellow his
performance until it may even rank
with the best efforts of that great
light that is slowly fading away.

stockholders paying forthe blunders
OF the Dillingham-Cast & Cooke
faction by agreeing to an increase
by $l,C00,000 of the capital stock
for the purpose of compromising
with the San Francisco stockholders
and promoters who. through Colonel
Soper have won very important
suit in the Circuit Court few days
ago. That such an increase will be
rninous to the small stockholders
played no figure with the great
financial lights who through their

advantages to the stockholders, if
it should be decided to increase the

RUSSIA'S PROPOSAL.
Five Years Limitation of Military
Strength.

Strength.
THE HAGUE, June pan. de Staal
of Russia in long speech at the peace
conference yesterday outlined the Rus
sian proposal for limitation to a period
of five years of the military strength, but
not of the naval strength, the colonial
forces excepted.
The Russian proposition tends to lin
itations of army budgets by common ac-
cord of the powers. The debate was of
the most interesting character.
The drafting committee of the arbitra-
ton commission spent the afternoon in
considering articles l and Z of the Rus
sian proposals. All that is left now is the
drafting of regulations for the board
procedure.
The information from Germany is that
Emperor William will not separate him
self from the other powers in the arbi-
tration question, and the German dele
gates anticipate a favorable decision on
that point
The work is now so far advanced that
the conference will probably take holi-
delegates to refer to their respective gov
ernments for final instructions.
Mr.. Frederick Hollis of the American
delegation, alluding last evening to the
German attitude, said:
"This matter is much exaggerated.
Active negotiations took place, but Ger
many is in no way irreconcilable and
would not hesitate more than the other
powers to agree to an arbitration court
established on an acceptable basis"

he made his last payment to the Her.

Mr.. Iselin's private colors, the red and

then in commission. 1t was a ceremony
simple but impressive. Speaking of hel
future movements, Mr.. Iselin said:
"The Columbia left at 5 o'clock fol
