ANNAPOLIS CADETS.
Now on Their Summer Trip in Foreign
 Waters.
-riviJnr~ a

Waters.
 One of the most pleasant things about being an Annapolis cadet is the chance they have of going on summer cruises. The second class men are now aboard an old-fashioned sailing vessel, such as was used by our navy before we had steam warships. These young men are required to do the work of common sailors; in fact, they do every thing there is to be done on the boat They started in June, and will return in September. They stop for week or so at Plymouth, England, and ar engagements have been made for theEI to spend few days in London. Then they sail for Lisbon, Portugal, and the boys are wondering how Spain's neigh bors will receive them. After that they go to Gibraltar, and then home again. Of course there is a good deal of fun to be got out of the trip, and great deal to see; but it is a part of their four years course at the naval acad- emy, and they have to work hard serubbing decks and taking in sails, and the slightest disobedience is pun ished. Before they left this country they stopped off Hampton Roads for a few days and went through a lot of drilling, including the deserting of the ship" Tn this drill the crew puts pro- visions in the small boats, launch them and row away toward land, just as they would have to do if the ship took fire or were in sinking condition.

GREAT IS MEXICO.
so WRITES A CORRESPONDENT
 FROM CAPITAL.
Many Manufacturing Concerns Born Every week-Cigarett Trade Is Ex.
 banding - Paper Mills and Cotton Machinery. a

At home and abroad there is plenty of confidence in the future of Mexico. In Europe we have seen it evidenced the past week in the adoption of plan for the conversion of Mexicos gold debt of $97 000,0 ,000, bearing 6 per cent interest, to a per cent basis, writes a correspondent from the Citx of Mexico. Here we have seen, in the past ten days, the incorporation of several new companies for manufac turing purposes, the formation of a cigarette makers league or trust, for 1t amounts to that, and the putting Of nearly $l,000,000 more into a new ci- garette factory; fresh orders for cot ton mill machinery, and remarkably good showing in customs receipts for this time of the year. Mexieans have more money than ever before to buy foreign goods, and they are importing heavily. Even with all the new cotton mills and print works, the home sup. ply of cotton textiles is insufficient fol the demand, and imports in that line, both from the United States and Eu- rope, are increasing, a fact which in- spires cotton mill people to order more machinery and to put up new mills. A large new paper mill, backed by Mexican and resident Spanish capita, is to be built near this city, and the machinery is already ordered. A great extent of the streets of this city are to be paved with asphalt, and already the principal streets are handsomely paved with concrete blocks, which make an ideally smooth pavement. The new Banco Central is running up a heavy list of depositors, and has S3,G00,000 paid-in capital, and viii, in q year or two, double that amount. Shares in the new American bank have sold this week at heavy premium, and the institution is doing large and very profitable business. The older banks report good business in 1899, and will soon increase their capital, the National to have $22,000,000 effective capital and the London $19,000,000. These are business facts, which show how Mexico is booming along under the hrm rule of the present adminis- tration, which is business from the word go, to employ an effective eollo- judaism.

Where Sir Walter Scott Proposed.

'sThe Popping Stone" marks the spot where Sir Walter Scott asked Miss Carpenter to marry him. It is situated in the be utiful valley of the Irthing. at Gilsland, an inland watering place near Carlisle. The popping stone is visited by many thousands during the summer months and, it is said, many laggard lover has had his courage screwed up to popping point at this romantic spot In the immediate may also be seen "Mumps Ha,' which Scott immortal ized in Guy Mannering," while a lit tie farther afeld tke Roman wall and Lanercost priory prove attractions to visitors to Gilsland.

sneed of Lions and Tigers.

For a short distance a lion or tiger can outrun man, and can equal the speed of fast horse, but they lose their wind at the end of half mile at the most. They have little endurance and are remarkably weak in lung pow CT. Their strength is the kind which is capable of a terrific effort for short time.

EELON,S WIFE
marries the Man Her Husband Helped
 to Rob.


 plea of divorce recently entered in an Illinois court by Mrs. Samuel c. Seeley, wife of the famous embezzler, whose magnificent coup once put his name on everyone's lips, brings to light a most peculiar romance. Seeley was, in 1894, the head of the Watson Shoe and Leather Bank of New York city. In connection with his partner, Frederick Barker, and his brother-in- law, Samuel E. Aymar, he robbed the bank of over $350,000 He was caught tried, convicted and sentenced to ten years ill Sing Sing. Barker shielded and Aymar escaped. One of the heav- jest losers by the failure of the Ma tional Shoe and Leather Bank was a certain Brooklyn millionaire. He had been one of the first to suspect Seeley, and it was mainly through his in- f1uence that the trial ended as it did. Mrs. Seeley bore a prominent part in the case and gained the admiration and respect of all by the faithful manner in which she c1ung to her husband.
 
 lived several decades a bachelor, was struck with admiration for Mrs. sSeeleys He frightened her load as much as might be after her husband went to Sing Sing and aided her, it is said, to start in life. This was five years ago. Some time ago property in Brooklyn, which formerly had belonged to Mrs. Seeley and had stood in her name, but had been transferred, was deeded back to her on the statement that friend of the family" was ready to pay the taxes and clear off the other indebted ness. The transfer was made, and the next day the taxes were paid. The money, it is said, was advanced by the elderly Brooklyn admirer of Mrs. Seeley. Mrs. See1ey went to Illinois a year ago and acquired a legal resi- dence there for the purpose of bring ing the suit. The ground of her action was that her husband had been con- yicted of felony. Under the Illinois law, as in New York, this was ground for an absolute divorce. Just how long she remained deaf to the suit of the Brooklyn gentleman, or just how soon after her husbands conviction the latter began his attentions, is the private business of the couple. Mrs. Seeley says she did not listen to the millionaire until the latter brought her positive proof that her husband had been unfaithful At any rate, a speedy denouement to the romance is prom ised, as the divorce will soon be granted. The lady has written to soma New York friends that she hopes soon to return to the East safe and happy woman.
 Brave Elephants.
 No animal will face danger more readily, at mans bidding, than the ele- phant. As an instance, take the fol- lowing incident, which recently oc- cured in India. A small female elephant was charged by a buffalo in high grass, and her rider, in the hurry of the moment, and perhaps owing to the sudden stopping of the elephant, fired an explosive shell from his rife, not into the buffalo. but into the elephants shoulder The wound was so severe that it had not healed year later. Yet the elephant stood firm, although it was gored by the buf. falo, which was then killed by another gun. What is even more strange is that the elephant was not nervous of

SMALL HOPE FOR CHARLESTON

Washington. Nov. 19.-Acting Sec
rotary Allen was rgt.ied of the depar-
ture of the supply ship Culgoa fror
Hongkong for the island of Kamiguin.
II is believed by the department from
dispatches alreary cabled by Admiral
Watson that the Culgoa has on board
the representatives of wrecking firm
III Hongkong. with such apparatus as
can he placed aboard the vessel, who
will make an effort to save the Char
lesion or ut least ascertain the condi-
ton she Is in preliminary to further
work or abandoning her altogether.
The authorities had expected by this
time to have received information of
the condition of the Charleston from
the gunboat Helena, which was sent
to Kamiguin by Rear Admiral Watson
upon receipt of news of the wreck for
the purpose Of supplying the men with
food and bringing as many as possible
to Manila and also to examine the con-
dition of the wrecked ship. 1t is con-
sidered possible that the Helena may
have attempted to haul the Charleston
off the rocks whereon she lies, but the
authorities admit that this Is purely
speculation. IL is generally admitted
at the department that the hope OF
raising the Charleston is very slight
| but still IL Is proposed to do every
| thing to at least save some Of her small
guns and equipment.

Admiral Dewey has awakened to the
unpleasant realization that he cannot
transfer to his wife the affection of the
American people. For once he has al
lowed love to run away with diplo-
macy, and for the first time the voice of
harsh criticism is raised against him.
Shortly after his marriage the Admiral
transferred to his wife, the house pre-
sented to him by the American people.
And the trouble has begun. Dewey's
picture has been Kissed and some OF
the contributors to the fund want their
money back. The hero of Manila thus
discovers that being the servant of the
people is not all that II is cracked NJ

Lots Of Trouble
Over DeWey'S House

Washington, Nov. 2O.-News that the
transfer of the gift house has been
made has excited degree of indignant
feeling against Admiral Dewey too
strong to pass unnoticed. When the
report was first published that the Ad-
miral intended to transfer to his bride
the residence presented to him only a
few weeks before there We're murmurs
of dissnt her. and considerable feeling
was manifested by persons who had
contributed to the fund.
Within the past few days letters have
been received by members of the Dew
ey home fund committee from contrbu-
tors to the fund demanding the return
of contributions If the transfer took
place. Many persons refused to be-
lieve the report, maintaining the Adj
miral could not, with decency, give a
house away presented to him by the
people of the United States. Several
reasons for the intention credited to
the Admiral and now confirmed were
advanced and generally discussed in
Washington, but few persons could UNI
derstand why the transfer should he
made to Mrs. Dewey, who has a con-
siderable fortune of her own and an
income larger than the Admiral's sal
AIRY.
With the announcement today of the
actual official transfer of the gift
house to Mrs. Dewey the threatened
storm of indignation has broken. To.
night at a biograph exhibition pictures
of Mckinley, Bryan, Sampson and
Schley were cheered, while likeness
of Dewey was Kissed.

The result of the deliberations of the
Council was that reprieve was grant
ed Ibara, on the grounds of our ques-
tionable position under the constitu-
ton of the United States. There was
not dissenting vote given against
this action by any member of the Coun-
ell
The principal feature of the action of
the Council is demonstration that the
people of Hawaii believe that the New
lands Resolution extended the consti-
tuition of the United States to Hawaii;
that they are ready to accept all the re-
sponsibilities, all the changes which
the enforcement of that constitution
entails; that they will demand for the
poorest citizen the rights which the
constitution of the United States com
mands shall be given.

COUNCIL OF STATE.

At meeting of the Council of State
Wednesday afternoon there were pres
ent the following: President Dole, Min
listers Alex. Young. II. II. Cooper, II. A.

Councilmen A. G. NJ. Robertson, John
Mott, J. l.. Kaulukou, Cecil Brown, c.
Bolte, John Ena, p. G. Jones, J. A. Ken
nedy and A. V. Gear.
President Dole stated the real pur-
pose Of the meeting as being the con-
sideration of the Communication OF
Iharas sentence which the Cabinet had
decided on on the grounds of uncertain
ty as to the application of the laws OF
the United States and some inconsisten
cies in the evidence. Minister Mott
Smith told of the verbal protest that

sentence. He had not prepared or writ
ten protest because he understood the
meeting of the Council of State was to
be on Friday today. The Chinese
residents We're taking great interest

THE iHARA CASE.

The decision of the Council of State
in the lhara case furnishes plenty of
political material for the so-called OPP
position in Hawaii, and small comfort
for the real Opposition. AS the Bulle-
tin has previously stated, however,
the lhara case has no place in po-
lit,cal discussion at the present
time In calling upon the
Council of State to uphold the con-
stitutional decisions OF the courts and
commute Iharas sentence we believe
Mr.. Dole was prompted by honest opin-
ions and full confidence in the wis
dom of our local judges.
Mr.. Dole recognized the question
able character of Hawaii's position un-
der the constitution of the United
States, and then asked the Council OF
State to override the findings OF the
Jury to the extent of committing the
death penalty to Imprisonment for life
This was practically repetition of the
huffman case in which the Council
granted a pardon on the grounds Of
fered by the government of mistakes
on the part of the jury.
The discussion by the Council o
State was short and to the point. Al
quoted by the Advertiser, Cecil Brown
whose legal ability no man in thi
country will question, said If 1t wer
not for the constitutional phase OF tn
question he would vote against com
mutation. He believed the constitu
ton OF the United States was In fore
here, and to hang Ihara the Govern
ment would be committing murder
President Dole expressed the belle
that the Council Of State has authorit
TO grant reprieve on constitutions
grounds. -.
