The, following night we, camped at
the edge of small town on White river,
called Grand Gaze. We were very well
supplied with bareback, but somehow
never could get meat enough in our
haversacks to last many days; con

the country. for meat. After taking

pretty good mouths for chicken, I

In HONOR OF THE ENEMY WORK ON NAVAL STATION
RIO PASSENGERS ENJOY THE
JOKE.
Cheered for Bryan While the Republ-
can Reception Committee Waited for
Delegates who Did Not Come.

Passengers aboard the Rio, which ar
rived yesterday, We're the first to ENJOY
the discontinue Of the Republican re-
ceptiun committee who found that they
had assembled To greet two returning
delegates Of the enemy, instead of their
own representatives. When the news
paper launch went alongside of the
steamer and the passengers were in
formed of the big delegation that was
waiting on the dock to utter salvos and
extend the glad hand, the Democrats
declared that even if the Republicans
on the wharf did out-number them 16
to / they would take advantage of the
opportunity to cheer for Bryan. Ac-
cordingly the entire crowd of passen-
gers lined up in the bow and began
cheering for Bryan when the vessel
came within hearing of the crowd. The
latter could not understand the cause
of such an unexpected demonstration,
but when they learned the cause they
stood for the Josh and everybody
went away i'm good humOr.
j. II. Wise and John Holt were the
Democratic delegates who did return on
the Rio, and they We're among the first
to leave the vessel. Both were happy
to reach home, and both laughingly
thanked their Republican friends for
the splendid demonstration.
Wise and Holt were taken by the
Democrats to the Hawaiian hotel where
an informal reception was held. Other
Democrats flocked in until very soon
the delegates were surrounded by quite
a crowd. When DIR. McGrew arrived
he was greeted with cheers.
The arrival of the delegates was
doubly funny for the reason that the
Democrats did not expect their men.
1t was next to certain that the Repub-
licans would come, and the Democrats
who went to the wharf were there
merely as spectators of the reception to
| the McKinleyites. When II was found
that the situation was reversed, the
Republicans turned what conveniences
they had arranged over to the Demo-
Gratis, Berger played Is to 1 tunes and
everything ended quite merrily.
The Hawaiian hotel was deliberately
decorated for the Republican delegation
and magnificent spread had been pre-
| pared. This all went for naught. Berger
came to the rescue last night and gave
a concert on the hotel grounds. 1t was
well this was done, for a large num-
Der Of people had not heard that the
rally was off and gathered there.
The Republican delegates reached
San Francisco in time to catch the Rio
but could not secure passage. 1t seems
that the two Democrats were the last
to squeeze in.

ARTILLERY GOING.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-Not for
some time have the officers at the Pre-
sdio had such a busy day as yesterday.
Those of the artillery branch of the SER
vice We're particularly affected, as or
ders We're received early in the day to
make ready for foreign service as soon
as possible"
Under the circumstances existing at
present, foreign service means China
and a chance to avenge the deaths of
their comrades who were massacred by
the Boxers. The troops now at the Pre-
sidio will probably leave for the Orient
about August l, and the transports
Meade and Hancock will be used FOR
their transportation. Batteries l. o and
A of the Third Artillery, stationed at
Alcatra.z and the Preside, and Battery
d Of San Diego, are the envied ones.

\ CIVIL ENGINEER TO TAKE
CHARGE.
f. G. Prindle Arrives on Special Duty
to Assist Captain Merry in Improving
Naval Property.

T.. G. Prindle, attached to the civil
engineer department of the navy, ar
rived here yesterday on the Rio from
San Francisco. He was specially order
ed here by the Navy Department as
assistant to Captain Merry the COM
mandant of the naval station at this
place. While Mr.. Prindle will be under
the orders of Captain Merry, the duties
of the assistant will consist of looking
after the details of the improvement of
the naval station
With the construction of the pier. the
filling in of the grounds and other i'm
provements necessary to putting the
station I'm proper condition, much labor
is involved. Captain Merry found that
his other duties were such as to pre-
vent his giving all his time to super
intending the details of construction, so
/ a trained civil engineer was sent for
to relieve the commandant Of some of
the work.
/ The improvement of the station viii
/ proceed as rapidly as possible though
/ Captain Merry stated this morning that
! the force of men would not be mater
! tally increased. 1t is expected that the
work can be completed within year.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Prindle is to have the
direction of all of this character of
work, he will probably remain in Homo
! lulu until ii will have been completed.
! His orders were to remain indefinitely.
1t was reported that the visit of Mr..
| Prindle was for the purpose of begin
ming the Improvement of Pearl Harbor
but Captain Merry denied this state
ment. There has been no appropria
| ton by Congress" he said, Ito proceed
! with that work, and until the necessary
money is secured we win do nothing
about it. In addition to having to in
! spect the place, the Government win
have to secure the necessary land be-.
| fore the work can go on at that place.
1t is no use talking about doing any
thing like that until we have the mon
ey with which to do II. No; Mr.. Prin-
dies duties will not require him to in
spect Pearl City harbor"
For the last year and half preceding
his visit to Honolulu, Mr.. Prindle was
stationed at the naval training school
| at Mare Island in San Francisco bay,
where he was in charge of the construc-
ton of necessary improvements at that
place. Mrs. Prindle accompanied him
here.

STEAMSHIP CHANGES.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 12.-George
Crocker was relieved of the presidency
of the Occidental and Oriental Steam
ship Company yesterday, and at the
same time was denied a voice in the
board of directors of the corporation
The newly elected directors met and or
ganized by electing r. p. Schwerin
president, Horace G.. Burt vice presi-
dent, and d. d. Stubs secretary and
general manger. BY giving r. P.
Schwerin control of the Occidental and
Oriental, i'm addition to those of the Pa
cific Mail, it would appear that the two
China lines will continue in business on
more friendly terms than ever and will
be rival companys for traffic in name
only.

THE POPE ASKS PRAYER.

ROME, July 1S.-Pope Leo has adj
dressed a letter to the Vicar General,
in the course of which he says the sor-
rowful events in China besides filling
his soul with sadness on account of the
splitting of so much Christian blood, in
spires him with the deepest fear as to
the situation of the Apostolic Wears
and the dangers to which Christians
and missionaries are exposed in serious
trials, as well as sacrifice of lives. His
Holiness therefore asks that all com
municants pray that God inspire
thoughts of concord and peace and that
he win end destruction and massacre.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Japan
ese Legation has received a dispatch
dated Toxic, July 10, stating that the
Russians guarding Tientsin were Sc
verely pressed and called on the Japan
csc troops for assistance. A combined
attack was made on the Chinese and
the latter were repulsed. The Japanese

The dispatch probably refers to one of
the early fights at Tientsin.

1t would almost seem that DR.. Kin
youn had some special malevolence and
hatred of Hawaii. There has been no
plague here since March 81.
DR.. Kinyoun was one of the most ac-
tive and persistent in insisting on the
plague scare in San Francisco. He
seems to have "bubo- phobia." DR.. Hoff-
mann asserts that while he was in San
Francisco he was shown bubonic plague
slides by the San Francisco board of
health which he recognized as slides he
himself had made here during the exist
ence of the plague in Honolulu. He
does not say, however, that these were
represented as bacilli from San Fran
cisco plague patients.

CHAPTER M.

Mr.. Boone had slept In the barn every
night since Deacon Snyder's horses were
stolen. lie was afraid the horse thieves
would be after Dolly and Nell.
lie attended the day services OF the
camp meeting on Friday and Saturday,
and Saturday evening found him all on
fire with religious enthusiasm.
But he hesitated somewhat about at-
tending the evening service. lie wanted
TO go. but he felt that some one ought to
remain ut home. There was no telling
what might happen IL the place were left
alone.
But he finally concluded TO 60.
Samanthy went over to Mr.. Bo0nes,
TO accompany Mamie to the grove. At
| first Mamie had declared that she wasn't
going to attend the camp meeting. II
hardly seemed right for her to be- enjoy
ing herself, or, at least trying to do sO
while poor Dick was u fugitive and u
wanderer on the face OF the earth.
Good Lord" argued Samanthy, with
good, hard common sense. "iOur stayin'
tn hum. mopin' an cryin', hain't a-goin'
IN make 1t any better fer him, II 1t!
He'd ruther y'd git along with yer trou-
bic as casy's possible. ] know him well
enough fer that. Git yer bunnit an les
DO gOin'."
They went by the way of tho hollow
tree, and Mamie deposited there her
daily loaf, adding u great wedge Of her
mothers camp meeting cake and half
dozen dOughnuts OF her own manufac-
turc.
They'll taste good to him, hope, poor
fellow" she said penitently.
| "(,Ollrsp thev will #" said Samunthy,
"'Poor feller,' indeed! Sh'd think he'd
git the r'umatiz sleepin' out these awful
damp nights. I've felt 'em all day jest
from bcin' out to meetin' las night.
don't s'p0se Id Orter be ont tonight.
But, land! ! don't see how I cd stay

right tO-morrer.'
"I.0ts of nights ! cant sleep, Just for
thinking of poor Dick" said Mamie
tears coming into her eyes. Her remorse
full conscience made her thoughts OF Dick
very tender ones just now.
The forest resounded with the shouts
Of newly awakened souls, the singing OF
devOut attendants, who hoped by theii
songs to cheer on those who were waver
ing between good and evil, and the lusty
exhortations of the ministers. One could
hear the camp meeting farther than one
could see it.
II s'pose it's all right" said saman
thy, In q tone that meant that sh'
thought 1t al wrong. but Ter my par
