and he soon discovered that they were
up to a thing or two. To release all
the prisoners they demanded 500 mus
kets. 1000 pounds of powder, 5000
pounds Of lead. 1000 hatchets. 1000
pounds of beads. 5000 yards of cloth
and so kegs OF rum. The Vengeance
had taFen on a lot OF stun at Sierre
Leone as ransom goods, but not In
quantity to buy OF half the prison
ers. Two whole days were spent in
haggling over the matter, but the
Hottentots would not take of a
pound or a yard. In after days Cap
tain Sascombe was severely censured
for not returning to Sierre Leone or
going around the Cape to consult
the consult with a view OF raising the
ransom, but the situation seemed to
him to demand Immediate action. Had
he sailed away and returned two
months later the natives might have
met him with new demands.

MINISTER'S INTIMATIoN.
Given to Tramways Company Con-
cerning Track Laying.

The Rapid Transit Company applied
to the Minister of the Interior yester-
day, requesting him to direct the
Tramways Company to put It's track
on the mauka side of the street so as
not to interfere with the location on
the makai side already granted by the
Government TO the Rapid Transit Com
pany.
II appeared that the Rapid Transit
Company expressed a willingness to
withdraw its request II the Tramways
Company would agree not to go on lay
ing rails. Mr.. Neumann, representing
the Tramways Company, replied that
he was inclined to acquiesce in the lat
ter alternative, but desired 10 confer
with Mr.. Pain and give his answer in
the morning. The contention Of the
Rapid Transit Company is that the
matter should remain in statu quo IN
til the respective rights are settled on
the merits Of the case.
Although the Minister OF the Interior
did not say so in so many words, an
intimation was given to the Tramways
Company that unless II acquiesced he
would make an order directing II to lay
it's track on the mauka side OF the
street, as the statute gives him power
so to DO.

Iriends. Prominent am oug her legal sup
porters was DR.. P.W Ray, who is on the
board Of trustees of Broeklyn's Board
OF fPharmacy. 1t may be said here tha
ehe idea Of placing Miss Howard's name
In the list of contestants originated il
ST. Phillips Protestant Episcopa
Church. Then Miss Kate smith, o.
BIO oklyn, lent a hand. Miss Lucy
4. Mo'en OF Washington, where she il
principal Of the Normal sohool, started
a circle of workers, who achieved ex-
cellent results. There were numerous
friends in New Englan1 who helped
In collecting ballots. Miss e. d Mag.
nan, Of ST. Marks Methodist church
clipped many coupons. Miss Mary
Lewis, OF Public School No.. 80, with
other teachers OF this school, aided in
keeping Miss Howard's name to the
front. Other enthusiasts were: Rafus
Hurburt, George Garner and Messrs.
Ghessmsa, Van Allen, Frazier, Clayton
and PteFson, as well as Mrs Graves.
Mrs. Schroeder, Mrs, Dalton and Mrs
Davis. Several friends in the Church OF
st. Benedict gave their services in the
cause, while coupons were sent from
Boston, Washington and Baltimore.
When Miss Howard was asked by one
of our most Influential eltIzens to
promptly consider proposition made
to enter the contest, IL seemed impos-
sihla to attempt it, and ore or TWO
others were asked for the sake of our
representation as part of the great
body OF teachers, to enter their names.
One had the honor of beng named as
successful contestant in 1898, when the
New York Press sent teachers to the
Columbian Exposition, and another
did not care to undertake the work, 60
our candidate in February 1899 was ea.

grew stronger, and her sdherents be-
came jubilant. Thousands upon thous-
ands Of illots were added to her al
ready large number. Gradually y she rose
to fifth place, then this mouns was
scaled and fourth place was captured,
snd then with apparent ease Miss
Howard glided into third place. Thirty
eight thousand five hundred and fifty
new ballots were added to the credit of

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 29.-The stock eX
change atmosphere was rather oppressive
during today's session and the offerings
to take profits were absorbed with less
facility than on previous days during this
week. No better explanation of the Iaac-
tionary tendency of the market can be
found than the falling off in demand for
stocks. There was some manipulation
for the decline, which was effective among
the Industrials, and Specialties, and
which brought out volume of offerings
that looked like the uncovering Of stop
loss orders But in the railroad list there
was no indication of forced selling.
The profit taking proceeded apparently
in an orderly manner, and any consider
able recession in prices led to decline
in the volume of offerings and dull mar
ket Stocks which have gone up the most
during the week were naturally most az
fected, notably the trans continental
railroads and the Southern trunk lines
