A WarlIke Move.

Chicago, Aug. IA special to the
Record from Victoria, b. c., says: The
imperial government and the Domin-
ion authorities have decided to in
crease both the regular military and
militia forces on this station, the Pa.
citic coast depot of the British army
and navy. Coming at time when the
relations between Canada and the
United States are acknowledged by
Premier Laurier to be rather strained
over the Alaskan boundary question,
it looks as if Britain and Canada were
determined to assert their claim to
those portions of Alaska demanded by
Canada by force of arms if necessary.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The Post
prints an interview with Liliuokolani,
ex-queen of the Hawaiian islands, who
receives many letters from home and
is residing hera The former queen
says what the people need there is
some head to the government. She
adds: "Reports to the contrary not
withstanding, the islands are in a state
of practical anarchy. We Il say we,
because I count myself one of my peo-
ple) have no laws but those which
have obtained for many years and a
few which have been foistcd upon us
by the Hawaiian republic.
"There is no such thing as real JUS
tive. The native has not the SANG
standing when be goes to law with the
white man, and even some of the
foreigners find that they cannot obtain
their dues. laws are administered
in careless fashion. The government
is an olgarchy instead of a republic.
Caprice dictates the administration of
affairs. / speak with no bitterness.
] am merely endeavoring to give a
correct picture of the conditions. The
inhabitants of the islands know moth
ing whatever of their fate, oI what
sort of government will be placed over
them"
The eX-queen expresses every conf
dence in the honorable intentions Of
America, and hopes when a decision is
made as to form of government for
the islands that the officials will be ap-
pointed from this country.
When asked as to her claim for con
fscatioD of the crown lands her mai
esty was somewhat reticent.
81 believe that my claims are just"
she said simply. 81 think that they
will be respected, When the papers
were filed no definite amount was
stated but the revenue resulting from
the lands three years ago was about
$lj0,000 year. Since that time the
lands have increased in value. ]

approximately S1,O0O,0OO, but know

A Lucky Younger Son,

The case of younger son is usually
pitied in England, but there was a
notable exception in the case of the
family of the late earl of Mansfield,
Who died worth some $5,7OO.OOO. Wis
count Stormcnt, the father of the earl
of Mansfield, the great Judge, was one
of the poorest lads in Scotland, and
"as poor as a Scottish lord" has long
heen by-word in England This
younger son, William Murray, born in
17o5, one of family of ~ penniless
children, rode off to London on his
pony, to attend Westminster school,
and never, it is said, saw his native
land again, but he left an earldom
and a vast fortune to his oldest broth
er's heir. The earl who recently died
was the fifth of the title, and the sixth
earl is has brother.-N. Y. Sun.

THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY.
Slight Changes In the Original Plans
Authorized.

SHSht changes IN the original Plans
Authorized.
The Washington Public Library Commits
sion held meeting at the District Build
ing yesterday afternoon and spent consid-
cradle time discussing slight changes which
it is desired that Messrs. Ackerman &.
Ross, the architects, shall incorporate in
their drawings of the successful design.
Most of these changes affect the dstribu-
tion of space in the interior of the library
building. They will in no way alter the ex-
terror appearance of the structure, mas
much as the general design has been finally
approved.
Commissioner Ross, Captain Beach, The
odore W. Noyes, who are members Of the
Commission, and Bernard r. Green, who is
superintendent of construction of the pro-
posed library, were present at the meeting
yesterday. They had fully considered the
revised designs which were received from
the architects last week, and all that re-
mained to be done was TO prepare a state
ment to be forwarded to the architects ex-
planning the alterations which were deemed
advisable. This was attended to and the
revised drawings were sent to Messrs Ack-
erman & Ross late in the afternoon.
The act of Congress relating to the libra
ry building provides that il shall be COM
menced within one year after March g.
1S99 the date of the passage OF the act. It
was said after the meeting that this pro-
vision Of the law would be complied with
and that advertisements for proposals
would be published at the earliest possible

APPRAISER wAKEMAN's CASE.
He Is ExOnerated, But His Resigna-
tion VIII be Accepted.


tion VIII he Accepted.
After fully considering the report of the
committee appointed to investigate the ad-
ministration of the New York appraiser S
Office, the President and the Secretary OF
the Treasury have sustained Appraiser
Wilbur F. Wakeman, and most of the
charges against him are shown to have
been not well founded. 1t has been de-
cided, however, to grant the petition made
by certain New York importers that he re-
sign from his Office as Secretary of the
Protective Tariff League, the investigating
committee believing that the appraiser s
whole time is needed in the discharge Of
his duty to the Government.
The report of the commission goes to
show that the appraiser is an honest, capa-
Bile, energetic, and jealous officer. 1t would
appear, however, that in certain matters
which were the subject of investigation he
failed to show the qualities of prudence, tact.
and discretion that We're TO be desired. 1t
is not impossible says Secretary Gage, that
the troubles and complaints, which appear
TO be due to the failure on his part TO eX-
ercise these commendable qualities, will op-
crate TO beget greater prudence and care in
future administration. Certain it is that
the positive qualities with which he is ac-
credited by the commission, and which he
has we'll illustrated in his general admin
istration, are most necessary in the ap-
praiser of a great port of entry like New
York.

''The occupancy of Fort San Felipe, on

the fort, where there are now confined
several general court martial prisoners.
"A strong guard is kept in the fort and

mounted and the men are being drilled in
their use. There have been a number of
