MINISTER YOUNG WORKING
RAISING FUNDS FOR HOSPITAL OF
INCURABLES.
Lists Being Quietly Circulated and APP
peals Sent to Rich Men of the other
Islands,

Minister Young is quietly working to
raise the money for the Hospital for
Incurables. With his well known grit
and determination, which did not waver
a particle when the big subscriptions
did not come in at once, he has started
out to get the money. And 1 will get
it, too" adds the Minister with a con-
fident smile.
His first move has been to prepare
three lists, one of $780, 900 subscriptions,
one $4,000, and one less than that
amount His plan of campaign has
been to approach those interested in the
subject of the hospital and give them
the chance of putting their names on
either list Besides this, Mr.. Young has
addressed a letter to various moneyed
men on the other Islands, appealing
to them in the interest of the hospital
In the letter he says:
For many years a great want has
been felt in Honolulu and throughout
the Islands, generally, in the nature of
a hospital, or home for incurables, who
are of various nationalities, resident in
Hawaii-nei. The Board of Health has
recently published a report of the NOR
tuary of Honolulu for two months dur
ing which the plague has been causing
so much uneasiness, which shows that
the number of deaths from consump-
ton is enormously greater than from
any other cause.
THE increase of lung trouble is mark
ed amongst the native Hawaiians,
which, l presume. is due to the fact
they have neither the knowledge nor
conveniences to prevent it's spread
among them. Most of the afflicted peo-
pie belong to the poorer classes, and
they are unable to provide means of
segregation and the proper intelligent
care of their unfortunate sick ones"
No one approached, so far, has re-
fused to give something. The smallest
subscription to date has been $780, The
largest subscriptions are. of course,
those of Minister Young and of the
Government, $4,000 each. Four otter
lump subscriptions of 100000 are re-
required There are a large number of
subscriptions ranging from $1,000 to
! S1OO 600.

For many years Coldwatei has had
a colony of crows varying in number
from 800 to several thousand. The
dusky ~feathered tribe assemble in what
is known as Seeley's park, a tract OF
several acres thickly covered with
evergreen and oak trees of large size.
About sunset each day the crows re-
turn by hundreds and before "retir-
ing" for the night devote about one
hour to a aucu Of the situation. After
this all remaivs quiet in the settlement
until early the next morning, when they
take flight, probably in search Of food.
What they subsist on during the win
ter months is a mystery. One feature
regarding the rather singular encamp-
ment is that the colony is rapidly
growing, although no one has been
able to find their nesting places. The
place they have pre-empted is almost
in the heart of the city. No one dis
turbs them, even the small boy respect
ing their claim to the wooded park

1t is thought in some quarters that L
Hung Chang's failure to go to Picking
indicates that he is aware the situation
is so bad that it is impossible for hin
to overcome the difficulties.
Lord Salisbury presided this morn.
ing at a meeting Of the cabinet, espe-
cially summoned to consider the far
eastern crisis. Prior o the meeting
the French ambassador, NJ. Paul Cam
bon, and the Chinese minister, Chin
Chen Lo Feng Luh, paid a lengthy visit
to the officials Of the foreign Office, and
it is expected that important develop
ments will be the outcome of the cabi-
net conference, ss Lord Salisbury pro-
ceeded to Windsor after the meeting.
The apprehensions as to the fate of the
Europeans cut off at Tien-Tsin have
been sharpened by Admiral Kempff's
message, which was the first definite
announcement of the bombardment and
destruction of the foreign concessions.
But, in spite Of Shanghai's grim state
ment that the Chinese used forty
Founders and that 1,5O0 foreigners were
m~assacred, there is no reason to con-
clude that the foreign colony has been
unable to protect itself. A Shanghai
dispatch reports thai Tien Tsin was
b~ombarded for W days, that the cas-
ualties were 100, that 5000 international
troops are there, and now that the
allied commanders at Taku are hastily
pushing forward a relief column, it is
hoped the wost a~pprehensions will soon
be dispelled.
Another Shanghai dispatch n
nounces that all the members of the
foreign community at Pei Tai He have
arrived at Chez Foo on board the Nash
vile, but they left all their posses
sions behind them.
A dispatch to the Associated Press
from Shanghai, under this afternoons
date, says five Chinese warships passed
Woo Sung today. and that officers Of
the British armed cruiser Undaunted
visited the Chinese commaning officer
and received an assurance that the
ships were under orders to act against
the Boxer rising. The superintendent
of foreign %telegraphs has started for
Che Foo to organize a service, thence
to Shanghai.

TO R RATHBONE.
Inspectors Claim to Have Evidence
duplicating Him in Frauds.

Havana, June 22.-It is probable
that Estes G. Rathbone, the suspend
ed director of posts, will be arrested
within the next few days. The postal
inspectors assert that they have evil
dence duplicating him beyond any ques-
ton.
Mr.. Rathbone's replies in the course
Of the examination yesterday before
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow and the inspectors were re-
garded as very unsatisfactory more
than establishing the suspicious that
have been forced upon the investiga-
tors during the last few weeks until
proof has accumulated to such an e
tent as to compel them to look upon
Mr.. Rathbone as guilty.
1t is also understood that the au-
thorities will ask for the extradition
Of the head of the printing firm at
Muncie, Ind, which sent bills on bill
heads other than those Of the firm,
billheads of a fictitious firm.
The defendants will be Medley, Rath-
bone, Reeves, Rich and the Muncie
printer. Rich will be accepted as
states evidence.

THE BOER SITUATION
THE FORCES OF LORD ROBERTS
AND GENERAL BUTLER
IN TOUCH.
A Scheme is on Foot to Hem in the
Remnants of Krueger's and Steyn's
Armies and Disarm Them-Dutch
Forces Now Do Not Number More
Than Ten Thousand Men.

London, June 22.-Lord Roberts re
ports that General Ian Hamilton
reached the springs yesterday en- route
for Heidelberg to join hands with Gen,
eral Butler, who is expected to reach
%Standerton tomorrow. Otherwise there
is no new of Importance from South
Africa. The dispatch Of Lord Roberts
in full is as follows:
Pretoria, June 22.-Ian Hamilton's
column reached the springs yesterday
en- route to Heidelberg, where they will
join hands with Buffers troops, who
reached ~Paardekop yesterday and will
be at Standerton tomorrow, thus open
ing up communication between PretO-
ria and Natal and preventing any joint
action between the Transvaalers and
the people of the Orange river colony.
"Baden-Powell reports from Rusten-
burg that he found the leading Beers
very pacific and cordial on his return
Journey hence. Commandant Steyn
and two actively hostile field cornets
had been captured during his absence.
Lord Edward Cecil, the administra-
tor of the Rustenburg district, has to
date collected 5000 rifles.
THE commissioner at Kroonstad re-
ports that 81 rifles have been handed
in at Wolmarnstad."
New York, June ga dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: Cen
eral Buffers advance to Sandspruit is
almost the only fresh point in the mill
tary situation in South Africa. His
march is in the direction of SANDER
ton, which commands the road north
ward from Vrede. Lord Roberts has
announced his plan of operations al
ready, and the occupation Of Heidel-
berg by forces from Johannesburg may
confidently be expected within forty
eight hours. The remnants Of President
Krueger's and Steyn's armies will h e
be separated and gradually hemmed
in and disarmed. The process ought
not to require much time, as the Dutch
forces in the two sections cannot now
number more than 10000 men.
Military men are not surprised by the
delay on the British side. They assert
that the business Of feeding over 20O,-
900 soldiers in a. country where food
is scarce is a most serious undertaking.
The magnitude Of the British army is
a hindrance to its mobility and to de-
cisive operations, since the transport
problem is one Of enormous difficulty
and prevents rapid work. Generals
Roberts and Butler, moreover, are COM
PEELED to go slowly and disarm the
burghers day by day. Immense dis
tricts are to be pacified and the arms
must be secured from every house on
the line of march. General Roberts
work is done very thoroughly and re-
quires time.
Rumors have been revived that Cen
erals Botha and Dewitt will surrender
their forces If they can gain any points
by negotiating, but these appear to be
premature. DeWet has not yet been
thoroughly beaten, and Botha came
near surrounding French's troops dur
ing the last battle. The story that the
bridge on the Delagoa railway was
blown up by the premature explosion
of a mine is hardly creditable.

AERONAUT DROWNED
Wind Shifts While in the Air and Car
ries Him Out Over the Lake.

Toledo, June 22.-Yesterday at the
annual outing of the Grocers' and
Butchers association one of the at
fractions was a balloon ascension. Ar
thur Ledyard, enc of the best known
D~alioonists in the country, assembled
with his parachute, but the wind sud
denly shifted, and instead of carrying
him off toward the city, as he had con-
templated, the balloon foated out over
the lake. Ledyard evidently gave I'D
all hope of using the parachute, as he
was seen to climb into the basket and
attempt to guide the balloon. Sudden
ly it was seen to descend and drop into
the lake.
Meanwhile steamers started toward
him in the hope of picking him up,
but before they could reach him he
had sunk out of sight. The body of
Ledyard was recovered this morning.
A rope was bound around his neck,
and it is thought this s%trangled him,
and prevented his swimming ashore.

FIRE IN PITTSBURG.
Large Structure Completely Destroyed
and Others Badly Damaged.

Pittshurg, Pa, June ga fire in the
heart Of the business district Of this
city this afternoon caused an estimat-
ed loss of several hundred thousands Of
dollars and for a time threatened to

buildings, bounded by Fifth avenue,
Diamond, Wood and Market streets.
At 1870 o'clock flames were discovered
issuing from the rear of the Eichbaum
building, 242 Fifth venue The struc-
ture was of iron and brick, six stories

lege and the Holmes Electric company.
The first floor was vacant, and was be-
ing remodelled by the Central District

Tor the next meeting place, and July

sanity. The foreign concessions have
nearly all been burned, and the Ameri-

GAMBLE ON CORN.


Springfield, ILL.,, June 22.-The Sill.
preme court today affirmed the decision
OF the lower court, which convicted A.
V. Booth of Chicago of unlawfully con-
tracing in writing with the Weare
Commission company an option to buy
10000 bushels of corr at a future time.
contrary to the statute.
The decision is important in that it
declares the Illinois law regarding puts
and calls to be valid. The defense was
based on constitutional grounds.
The court does not hold that a con
tract to buy grain for future delivery is
unlawful, but holds that the Booth
Weare contract did not bind Booth to
take the corn on delivery day, and was
merely a gamble on the price of corn.
