STRUCK BYANATERSPOUT
EXPERIENCE OF THE SCHOONER
METHA NELSON.
Captain Rice Reports a Remarkable
Occurrence on His Trip From Maka-
well to San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 20
Captain Rice of the schooner Metna
Nelson, which arrived yesterday from
Makaweli with cargo of sugar, tells
a remarkable story of an encounter
with a waterspout on last Sunday
when but thirty miles northwest Of
Point Reyes. In his report to the Mer-
chants Exhange he says that he pass
ed through a wartespout and carried
away the spanker boom"
Old-timers about the Exchange were
very skeptical when the report was
hung up as to the phenomenon witness
ed by the Nelson's people being a
genuine waterspout, and still more so
that so small a vessel had come safely
through" it. The skipper stoutly
maintains, however that on Sunday
morning his vessel was pursued by a
column Of water which emitted flashes
of lightning and was preceded by Il
thin curling sea. The weather for the
preceding twenty-four hours had been
a succession of rain squalls, but the sea
was moderate and the weather not un-
usual for this time of the year
When the spout first appeared it was
some distance astern, according to an
account given by the mate, and appar-
emily bearing directly down upon the
schooner. There was just time to make
everything fast when the great swirling
mass of water was close astern and
towering over the little vessel. Then
by some strange good fortune, it sud
denly changed its course and swept by
only catching the spanker boom and
carrying it away The schooner was
| thrown on her beam ends by the dis
turbance of the water, but soon righteC
herself, and continued on her course.

HIS TOES TTrRNED up

The Humane Society officers found a
horse in a pasture in Kalihi whose
hoofs on the forefeet had grown so long
that they had turned and curved up
until they reached the knees. They
were beyond the power of the farrier
or the veterinary to remedy, and dlsa-
bled the horse and made his life a
torment. The horse had reached the
age of "a, and so he was killed.
The case was brought to the attention
of the Humane Socity through a pub
lished account of it. But the place
where the horse was to be found was
described so indefinitely that much
time and effort was lost in finding It.
Mrs. Craft asks that when there are
cases which 1t is thought ought to be
brought to the attention of the HUI
name officers, that they be brought i'm
mediately either to her attention or to
that of the Humane Societys officers.
This will save her time and that of the
Humane officers, and at the same time
secure prompter relief for the animal

JOHN LEDYARD.

THE following resolution was adopted
by the Union Republican State Conven-
tion, at Dover. April 3, 1900.
"Therefore, be it resolved by the
Union Republican party OF Delaware, IN
State Convention assembled, that the
Union Republican State Central Com
mittee of Delaware s hereby directed,
authorized and empowered to use all fair
and honorable means to secure for the
Republican electors OF Delaware, irres-
pective OF past differences, one set OF can
didates for al offices to fill which the
general election of A. d. 1900, is to be
held in Delaware, but said committee
shall have no power to agree to any plan
or policy, in securing such candidates, by
which any elector, Union or Regular, So
called, of the State shall be deprived OF
excluded from the right of laboring to
defeat the Democratic party, or deprived
of receiving any of the honors OF place OIL
office resultine from such defeat.
The sun., 1900-05-07

these letters, stories cf outrage, of Nanton
cruelty, of failure and defeat have been
manufactured to influence the ignorant,
impressionable people OF this country
and make political sentiment against the
Republican national administration.
This is discreditable political work.
The letter to which we have referred,
and which described the people, the
climate and the business probabilities,
is doubtless the reliable one. When the
soldiers, the discontented ones, get away
and when the business prospector re-
place them the value OF these new ter
ritories will rival and doubtless exceed
the value OF our Alaskan gold fields. The
values in the islands will be permanent
and increasing. The development otthe
country and the civilization OF the peo-
Pile will go hand in hand, and mutual
benefits accrue to both parties-the gov
erned and the governors-that cannot
now be anticipated. Let no one falter.
The glory OF the nations achievement in
this expansion OF its territories may be
blurred.and indistinct now when only the
bare fact of achievement is known; when
political prejudice and ambition attempt
to misrepresent and distort the truth Of
the little that is known, but soon
America in the Orient will vie with
America elsewhere. It's people, its gov
ernment, it's tiade ami commerce will
not only be free, just and OF immense
value, but the record OF the achievment
OF that result be one Of the most glorious
in tie history OF this nation.
The shibboleth Of this people and Of
this age is "Forward." The Democratic
party is again putting itself in the way
as "a hinderance and preventative of
progress. 1t will be beaten again as be-
fore, and now deserves to be.

COURT HOUSE REFORM.

The press OF Philadelphia has begun a
crusade against the abuse OF the fee sys-
tenn in the county Offices of that city,
and is saying some things that are
apropos to this county and State. The
fee system in vogue here has long been
source Of wrongdoing on one side and
complaint on the other. There
seems to be no rule about it. The
charge for services OF any kind seem
to be fixed according to what it is
supposed can be extorted from the ap-
plicaut. We recently heard lawyer
complain OF an exorbitant bill from the
Register OF Wills Office, and upon the
same day another charge against another
