The German Foreign Minister, Count
Won Bulow, has done a most courteous
thing In connection with the grave of
Robert Louis Stevenson at Samoa.
There was doubt expressed among in
innate friends of the late poet and
novelist that the Germans, owing to
Mr.. Stevensons criticisms of their
methods of Samoan administration,
would care for his sepulcher. This
doubt has been set at rest by Count
Won Bulow in the following sympathetic
letter to Mr.. ]. G.. Leigh: BE so good
as to tell Mrs. Stevenson that there is
no spot in Samoa which will be more
treasured by Germany than the grave
of her noble and distinguished husband.
He was at times a stern critic, but we
always honored him: and we feel no
shame to-day in admitting that much
that he wrote and said may have been
well deserved. 1t is q great pleasure
to me to have the assurance that Mrs.
Stevenson has faith in our good inten-
lions toward the people she and her
noble husband loved so well. I am sure
that 1 speak for his Majesty the En-
peror when I say that the grave on
vaca shall ever be honored as would
be the resting place of one of Ger
many's most distinguished dead"

The retirement of Mr.. Damon from
public life. though not necessarily final,
requires more than passing mention in
the news columns of the press. Mr.
Damon's services to the country in the
past seven or eight years, though not
spectacular. have been of the most
substantial value. When Claus Spreck-
els tried. in 1893, to embarass this gov
eminent by calling in his loans, Mr.
Damon provided the means of relief.
AS Minister of Finance for the greater
part of the past seven years he got the
Treasury out of more than one pilikia
and finally filed 1T with a surplus that
was OF instant and decisive utility
when the plague came on. AS the most
expert financier In Hawaii we cannot
assume that hts public usefulness is
over. He will be needed in the thick
of affairs again and often.

 Last Saturday evening at five o'clock a huge mass of rock which had adhered to the hanging wall in the Glory Hole at the TreadwelI mine, gave way and fell with crash to the bottom. Again at ' o'clock the performance was ra- peated on a larger scale. Pit No. i is almost filled up. The large pieces of rock in the bottom of the pile will make it difficult to get the chutes in opera tion. This has been expected for some and the employees and their tools were we'll out of reach of the falling rock It is estimated that over one hundred thousand tons of dirt, slate and quartz came down.

A VAGRANT FROM BOSTON.
He Astonished 81 Bailif by His High
Flown Language in
Court.

Bailiff Kendg is recognized as something
Of a wit. The first prisoner to be subjected
to the laconc thrusts of the bailiff in the
police court the other day was William
Ross, says the Washington Times. The
charge against him was vagrancy, and as
he was arraigned kendig said, sotto voce:
"a rolling stone gathers no moss" he
then added, that is true saying Much
to the surprise and chagrln OF kendig, Ross
replied without the faintest semblance of a
smile:
"Why do you not quote that aphorism cor
rectly? As we say it in Boston it is: Any
petrifed formation endowed with rotary
motion shows no affinity for the collection
OF lichenous particles
That viii do from you," said kendig,
'you are charged as vag. Are you guilty or
not guilty."
Ross answered not guilty, but the evi-
dence was against him. Policeman Gordon
declared that he found Ross begging at the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad station. Ross
claimed that the only begging he did was
to beg the policeman to release him. Judge
Mills sent Ross to thr workhouse for 60 days
in default of bonds in the sum of $50.
