BISMARCK'S PROPHECY.
The Present situation la Europe Re
calls It.
EspEc1AL TO THE rREss.I

Washington, April "a well-known
public man in Washington, who has OBJ
served diplomatic affairs in Europe for e
long time, recalled the other day some
interesting prophecies made BY Prince
Bismarck concerning the possibilities Of
an European situation like the present
1t has been observed that while Eng
land has her hands full with the Boer
war, there is an ominous activity ON the
part of Russia. England, 1t Ia to be re-
membersd, is the traditional foe OF Rus
siA's expansion. When the Russian ar
mica were within sight of Constanti-
nople. almost, in 1878. England stirred
up Europe to call . halt. Before that
was the Crimsan war.
Bismarck prophesied that when the
hour arrived, that is, when her Black
Sea feet should be strong enough, when
other Interested powers should be busy,
etc., Russia would make . move for pos
session Of the BosphOrus. ''As things

STATION NEARLY FINISHED.
Pumping Plant Will be a Credit to the
City.

Within few weeks the new pumping
plant will be completed, but it is prob
able that the plant will be in operation
before that time. AT present the build
ing is not quite finished, and consider
able work remains, to be done.
The building is a very creditable
looking edifice on the makai side of
King street Palama. No material has
been wasted in its construction. for not
a particle of waste room is to be found
about the premises. The building con-
ssts practically of but three rooms. or
the mauka side on the ground, are To-
Gated the generators and foundation OF
the engine while on the upper floor is
the thoroughly efficient pumping ma
chine.
These departments are only large
enough for the conduct of actual busi-
ness connected with that part of the
plant. The boilers are located In an
other high-roofed room adjoining the
engineroom. There are four furnaces
and the boilers are so constructed in the
center of the room that they can be
reached from all sides. Two little clos
cts off of this room complete the only
subdivision of the building.
The building is constructed of brick
with widow facing of the island blue
stone, which makes a very artistic com
bination. Gaunt and towering stands
the 100 feet of brick chimney within {
few yards of the engine room. All o.
the rooms are lighted with large win
dows, and the general plan for Ventila
ton appears to be good. The three ar
tesian wells are completed and all tina
is necessary is to start the big pump
ing plant at work before the new wa
ter system will be inaugurated. At pres
ent considerable of the roof remains t
be completed and some interior work il
the way of plastering must be done
The work of removing the scaffoldinI
has begun and it is expected that tn
preliminary test of the machinery vii

YANGTSE REGION A1AME Mr.. NGANAHAN DENIES.
DEMOCRATS DIDN'T APPROACH
INDEPENDENTS.
There Was No Conference of Leaders,
and No Efforts at Combine Have
Been Made.

A publication was made Saturday
purporting to detail a meeting of T.. B..
McClanahan, Prince David Kawanana-
koa and other prominent Democrats
on the subject of fusion with the In
dependents. 1t was stated that a pro-
position had subsequently been made to
the Independents to fuse on a basis of
one to three, or that the Democrats
should put one man in to three for the
Independents but that the proposals
had been declined by the native party.
Mr. McClanahan the alleged princi-
pal in the affair, was seen this morn
ing and gave out this statement: You
can say for me that no meeting of De-
mocrats has to this date been held on
the subject in the story to which you
refer. The statements made are errO-
mious from beginning to end. The gem
tlemen named have had no conference
of any kind whatever and l am pre-
pared to state positively that no pro-
position for fusion or anything else has
to this day been made to the Independ-
ents or any other party.
What may be done along this line
in future / am unable to say. AT the
same time any proposition would have
to come from the Democratic central
committee and not from a few mem
ing the story of Saturday had probably
lost sight of that fact"
Several members of the Democratic
central committee were seen and all
denied that the matter had ever been
considered.
Fusion between the parties had been
street topic for some time. 1t is a
notorio6s fact that a number of men
of both parties have expressed de-
sire that some sort of combination
should be effected The denial of Mr..
McClanahan and members of the CEN
trail committee probably sets at rest
any doubt regarding any official move
in that direction.

An old elephant taken into battle on
the plains OF India was a standard
bearer and carried on his huge back the
royal ensign, the rallying point of the
Poona host. At the beginning Of the
fight he lost his master. The ''mahoot,"
or driver, had just given the word to
halt, when he received fatal wound
and fell to the ground, where he lay
under heap Of Slain. The obedient ele-
-phant stood still while the battle
closed around him, and the standard
he carried. He never stirred foot, re-
fusing 10 advance or retire, as the con-
fict became hotter and fiercer, until
the Mahrattas, seeing the standard still
flying steadily in its place, refused to
believe that they were being beaten
and rallied again and again around the
coIors. And all this while, amid the din
of battle, the patient animal stood
straining its ears to catch the sound Of
that voice it would never hear again.
At length the tide of conquest left the
field deserted. The Mahrattas swept
on in pursuit Of the flying foe, but the
elephant, like a rock, stood there, with
the dead and dying around, and the en-
sign waving in its place. For three days
and nights it remained where its master
had given the command to halt. No
bride OF threat could move it. They
then sent to village 100 miles away
and brought the mahoot's little son.
The noble hero seemed then to remem-
Der how the driver had sometimes given
his authority to the little child, and i'm
mediately, with all the shattered trap
pings clinging as he went, paced quiet
! ly and slowly away.
