After a lapse of over thirty years,
Rear Admiral Hichborn, the chief con-
structor of the United States navy, re-
turns to California, the. state from
which he was appointed in the navy
as an assistant naval constructor in
1869. In California he spent the early
days of manhood. and served as a
journeyman shipwright, master ship
wright and assistant nava! construc-
tor, and those California days are full
of "reminiscences Of the early time in
the history Of the Golden state. Not
withstanding his. continued. employ
ment so far from the west coast, Ad-
miral Hiehborn has .been<ever in touch
with its interests and has done much
to foster and promote the welfare of
the shipbuilding interests, both at the
navy yards and private shipyards Oh

tinues silent regarding Pretoria, prob
ably because he cannot Wire of events
from his own knowledge. Lourenzc
Marques, where all the news from the
:Boer side lis rehaEdled, cables that
communication With Pretoria is now
suspended. some messages by courier
having reached I4ourenzo Marques,
but none of later date than Wednes-
day. They have it that the burghers
are in a state of panic and that Pre-
toria is being controlled by vigilance
committee. Lourenzo Marques again
sends the report that President
kruger Has Been Captured.
Tie news blank gives suspicion that
the citizens committee at Pretoria
may not have been able to carry out
their plans for securing the peaceful
entry of Lord Roberts and sparing the
city the horrors of a siege. The peace
party appeared to be in the ascendant,
and as soon as President Kruger and
his cabinet left Pretoria to- organize
a new capital the citizens committee
persuaded the commandments of the
forts to withdraw their troops from
the defeDces, perhaps With the view
of keeping
Order in the Town.
If messengers We're sent to the British
or if the British, being two hours
march from Pretoria on Wednesday,
entered it at any time prior to Friday
.noon.' Lord Roberts would certainly
have 'telegraphed this fact. Hence it
looks as though there was a BOer
force between Pretoria and Johannes
burg. The Beers trekking back toward
Pretoria. some of them fresh from the
fight with Gen. Hamilton. would have
brought'a new elements into the Situa-
ton and would probably overrule the
peace committee taking the direction
of affairs out of their hands. If this
has happened the British may. as the
Chronicle says, see e. .... u..

forts standing close together on the

"Reports of the most conflicting char

Boston, June 2.-Amid a storm of
applause, long string of resolutions
expressing sympathy for the South
Adrian republics and calling upon the
United States government to express
to Great Britain that this country is
opposed to the actions of England in
the war in South Africa, were unani-

The proverbia1 fofble-- Of many per
sons for concealing or misrepresenting
their ages"is@preyed::: hysthe:=eensus to
be reality. Careful scrutiny. Of the
returns OF population according s tto ages
in successive census years shows that
there is a widespread tendency among
boys and girls to report themselves
older than they really are, as if to
anticipate manhood and womanhood.
Among those who are approaching
middle age,the tendency is in the oppo-
site direction, namely, to report them
selves younger than they are. Finally
in the case Of the very old, there is
an inclination to add to their years.
They seem to take pride in every year
they have lived since they could boast
that they were octogenarians. 1t is
little strange that this weakness of
human nature should be SO widespread
and that both men and women should
be SO sensitive upon the subject of
their ages, seeing that there is no
condition or circumstance of life for
which the individual is less responsible
than his age.

the Herald from Hongkcng says: For

is remarkable and the instrument in
