CLAIMS Of
EX-QUEEN
Congress VIII Settle, it
is Said.
SYNDICATE MAY PURCHASE
General McCook Believes Admins
tration viii Give LlIiuokaIani a
Handsome Sum.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.--General
Edward NJ. McCook "A member of the
famous lighting MoCook" family. who
is now a guest of Charles IL. Blinn at
1856 Post street, is OF the opinion that
as soon as the coming election is over
and President Mckinley is settled for
another term of four years. the admin
istration will tal-e up the crown lands
claims of Liiuokalani, the ex-Queen of
Hawaii, and settle with her for a hand
some sum. AS General McCook is
known to be a warm personal friend Of
Senator Mark Hanna and close to the
administration, the friends of the de-
posed Queen are much comforted by
the assurances he has given.
The interest taken by General Nc
Cook in the affairs of Hawaii's eX-
Queen are que to the fact that he was
the first Minister accredited by the Gov
ernineht oG me United States TO the
Hawaiian court, in 1866, and during his
term negotiated the first treaty of recI-
procity. During his residence in Homo
lulu has firm attitude toward the threat
ened Brush eAcrodchment on Hawaii
undoubtedly saved this Government
from some very unpleasant diplomatic
complications with Eng land.
General McCook entered the Federal
army in 1860 as private in the Kansas
Legion, and after brilliant career of
five years rose to the rank of Brigadier
General He was twice appointed by
President Grant as Governor of the then
Territory of Colorado. and there or
gained a school system and an immi-
grafton board that were instrumental
in development. Through his personal
efforts the first railroad was built into
Denver. He was the first advocate of
woman suffrage. After his second term
as Governor of Colorado General Nc
Cook declined the portfolio of Postmas-
ter General, rendered to him by Presi-
dent Grant
A. HoffnunP a banker and capitalist
of London. who has been at the Palace
Hotel for several days, was former Ha-
James during the reign of the late King
kalakaua. lie came here from the
East, II is said. with a proposition from
an English syndicate to buy the crown
land claims of ex-Queen Liliuokalan
This proposed syndicate deal Is the
result of close study of the dethroned
Queens claims and a belief that her
demands are just and will meet with
the approval of the Government.
Mr.. Hoffnung has never visited the
Islands, but was appointed to the po-
sition of Minister by Kalakaua on the |
occasion of his iate majestys first visit |
to London, more than twenty years ago. |
He assisted materially in floating the |
first Hawaiian loan in London, part |
OF which has been assumed by this |
Government since annexation. Yester-
day Mr.. Hoffnung left for New York |
and will soon sail for London.

fresh, and consisting of young men In
high spirits and discipline-still they
gave their fire well and fatally; but
they were literally stunned by the
shout and shattered by the Irish
charge. They broke before the Irish
bayonets, and tumbled down the far
side of the hill, disorganized, hopeless,
and falling by hundreds.
The Irish troops did not pursue them
far; the French cavalry and light
troops pressed on till the relics of the
column were succored by some Eng
lish cavalry, and got within the bat
teries Of their camp. The victory was
bloody and complete. Louis rode
down to the Irish bivouac, and per-
sonally thanked them; and George H.,
on hearing it, uttered the memorable
imprecation on the penal code,
"Cursed be the laws which deprive
me Of such subjects" The one Eng
lish volley, and the short struggle on
the crest of the hill cost the Irish
dear. One-fourth Of the officers, in
Guiding Col. Dillon, were killed, and
one-third of the men.

Stories of Lord Russell.

One day, a legal correspondent
writes, before the late Lord Chief JUS
tice took sick, he was sitting In court,
when another barrister, leaning across
the benches, whispered: Russell,
what's the extreme penalty for big
amy?" "Two mothers-in-law," instant
ly replied Russell
On one occasion Lord Russell went
to help the Liberals in certain cam
paign. He began his speech of set
purpose with some very badly pro-
nounced Scotch. After the confusion
caused by his apparent blunder had
subsided, Sir Charles Russell (as he
was them said: Gentlemen, do not
speak Scotch, but | vote Scotch" IRE
nlendous applause followed, whereup-
on Sir Charles proceeded, land l some
times drink Scotch" With this his
hold on the audience was secured.
Although unrivaled in the art Of
cross-cxaminati0n, on one occasion he
was distinctly beaten by witness.

inc, and redoubts near them. His ex-
treme left was also strengthened by
redoubt in the wood of Barri, but his
left center, between that wood and
the village of FonteEoy, was not
guarded by anything but slight lines.
Cumberland had the Dutch, under
Waldeck, on his left, and twice they
attempted to carry st. Antoine, but
were repelled with heavy loss. The
same fate attended the English in the
center, who thrice forced their way
of the redoubt suddenly opened on
him, broke into the wood, when the
artillery which, assisted by constant
fire from the French tirailleurs Qight
Infantry, drove him back.
The Duke resolved to make one
grand and final effort. he selected his
best regiments, veteran English corps,
and formed them into a single column
Of 5000 men. At its head were six
cannon, and as many more on the
fanks, which did good service. Lord
John Hay commanded this great mass.
Everything being now ready, the
column advanced slowly and evenly,
as If on the parade ground. 1t mount
ed the slope Of Saxe's position, and
pressed on between the wood Of Barri
and the village of Fontenoy. In do
ing so, it was exposed to cruel fire
of artillery and sharp-shooters; but
it stood the storm and got behind Fon-
tenoy. The moment the object of the
column was seen, the French were
hurried in upon them. The cavalry
charged; but the English hardly
paused to offer the raised bayonet,
and then poured in fatal fire. They
disdained to rush at the picked infan-
try Of France.
On they went till within a short
distance, and then threw in their balls
with great precision, the officers actu-
ally laying their canes along the mus
kets, to make the men fire low. Mass
after mass of infantry was broken,
and on went the column, reduced, but
still apparently invincible. Richelieu
had four cannon hurried to the front
which literally battered the head of
the column, while the household cav
airy surrounded them, and, In repeated
charges, wore down their strength,
but these French were fearful suffer
ers. Louis was about to leave the
field.
In this juncture Sake ordered up
his last reserve-the Irish Brigade. 1t
consisted that day of the regiments Of
Glare, Lally, Dillon, Berwick, Roth,
and Buckley, with Fitzjames' horse;
O'Brien, Lord Glare, was in command
Aided by the French regiments Of Nor
mandy and Vasseany, they were or
dered to charge upon the flank of the
English with fixed bayonets, without
firing. Upon the approach Of this
splendid body of men, the English
were halted on the slope Of a hill, and
up that slope the Brigade rushed rap
idly, and in fine order. "They were
led to immediate action, and the stim-
ulating cry of Remember Limerick
and Saxon perfdy,' was re-echoed
from man to man. The fortune Of
the field was no longer doubtful, and
victory the most decisive crowned the
arms Of France"
The English were weary with a long
days fighting, cut up by cannon,
charge and musketry, and dispirited

Imperial Cavalry patroles. But when
Revel attempted to push further round
the ramparts and regain st. Margar-
cts Gate, he was repulsed with heavy
loss, and D'Arenes, who seems to
have been everywhere, was wounded.
1t was now ten o'clock in the day,
and Mahoney had received orders to
fight his way from the Po to the Man
tua Gate, leaving a detachment to
guard the rampant from which he had
driven Merci. He pushed on, driving
the enemy's infantry before him, but
suffering much from their fire when
Freiberg, at the head of a regiment
of Imperial Cuirassiers, burst into Dill
Ions regiment.
For while their case seemed des-
perate; but almost naked as they were,
they grappled with their foes. The
linen shirt and the steel cuirass-the
naked footman and the harnessed cav
alier met, and the conflict was des-
perate and doubtful. Just as this
moment Mahoney grasped the bride
Of Freiberg's horse, and bid him ask
quarter. 'No quarter today" said
Freiberg, dashing his spurs into his
horse; he was instantly shot. The
Cuirassiers saw and paused; the Irish
shouted and slashed at them. The
volley came better and the sabres
wavered. Few of the Cuirassiers
lived to fly; but all who survived did
fly; and there stood these glorious fel-
lows in the wintry streets, bloody, tri-
umphant, half-naked. Burke lost sew
en- officers and forty-two soldiers
killed, and nine officers and fifty SOL
diers wounded; Dillon had one officer
and forty-nine soldiers killed, and
twelve officers and seventy-nine SOL
diers wounded.
But what matter for death or
wounds! Cremona is saved. Eugene
waited long for Vaudemont, but the
French, guarded from Merci's attack
by the Irish picket Of IS, had ample
time to evacuate the redoubt and ruin
the bridge Of boats. On hearing Of
Freiberg's death, Eugene made an ef-
fort to keep the town by frightening
the council. On hearing of the de-
struction of the bridge, he despaired,
and effected his retreat with consum-
mate Skill, retaining Villeroy and 100
other officers prisoners.
The treaty of Utrecht and the dis
missal of Marlborough put an end to
the war in Flanders, but still many
of the Irish continued to serve in Italy
and Germany, and thus fought at Par
ma, Guastalla and Philipsburg. In
the next war their great and peculiar
achievement was at the battle of Fon-
tenoy.
Louis in person laid siege to Tour
nay; SAKE was the actual commander,
and had under him 10000 men. Cum
berland advanced at the head of 3d.
600 men, chiefly English and Dutch,
to relieve the town. At the Dukes
approach, SAKE and the King advanced
a few miles from Tournay with $4,000
men, leaving $1,000 to keep the siege
and 6,OOO to guard the Scheld. SAKE
posted his army along a range Of
slopes thus: his center was on the
village Of Fontenoy, his left stretched

Good Prospects for Profitable Invest

lands.

Al most promising field of endeavor
is being investigated by agents of
the United States department of agri-
culture in the Philippine islands. 1t
is believed that the rubber tree can
be successfully grown in the southern
islands of the archipelago. If the ex-
periments prove successful new ave-
nue. for American enterprise is open.
The country's demand for rubber is
constantly widening, the imports in
1894 being SIS, 1898, while those in
the year ended June 80, 1900, were over
twice as much, or $31, 555, 4s3. The de-
