New Way to Make Change.

The luxury of small change is
81 common in the United States that,
like most other common things, il
is not fully appreciated. In many

nominations are very scarce and

School OF Turin. While attending
the artillery school Wilcox met the
best people, was received in the
most artistocratic houses in Italy,
and was a welcome guest at the
home Of one OF bis instructors at the
military institute, Baron Sobrero,
colonel in His Majesty's army.
Sobrero had a daughter, Gina,
famed alike for her beauty and her
wit and in tho direction OF the TIA
liam belle Wilcox looked with greedy
eyes. Miss Gina'S position in Itali-
an society was an exalted one.
Her father was Baron, her mo-
ther tho Princess Colonna de Stig-
liauo; while the young lady herself
had more than aristocratic birth TO
be proud Of. She was a recognized
poetess aud novelist aud bad gained
fame under the nomme de plume OF
1t was while wooipg the fair"Man-
tea" that Wilcox began to create for
himself the role OF modern Claude
Melnotte.
He represented himself as the son
of King David Kalakaua l, declared
he was the legitimate heir to the
Hawaiian throne and dwelt with no.
BILE eloQuence on his castles in the
tropical islands, where one day he
hoped the poetess would rule with
him.
In due course OF time, in the
spring OF 'S7, Wilcox and Miss Gina
Sobrero were married and the ."heir
presumptive" to the Hawaiian
throne carried his bride with him to
his island home.
Once in the land where she hoped
one day to reign Mrs. Wilcox found
herself virtually prisoner; deprived
OF the society Of her equals and ex.
cluded from the presence OF her in
feriors. However, she soon learned
that the man she had married was
not of royal birth, but the son of
kanaka girl and an American laborer.
When the young wife discovered
the truth she left her husband, and
with the aid OF the French Consul
at Honolulu she managed to escape
and came to this city.--S. F. Call.

tion Of 1895.
The matter OF the claims OF Brit.
ish subjects was again brought to
the notice OF this Government
through Mr.. Kenney, the British
representative in Honolulu, on the
9th Of July, 1898, in letter which
set forth, as means OF arriving at q
satisfactory solution, the proposal
OF the British Government that the
cases which still remained unsettled
should be referred tc the arbitra-
ment of an independent jnrist Of
high standing, or failing an agree
ment as to the person to be- selected
to have him designated by the King
OF Sweden and Norway or the Presi-
dent OF the Swiss Confederation or
by some other neutral parsonage OF
high distinction.
The annexation OF this country to
the United States having been con-
summated, the government of Ha-
waii did not consider that it had
authority to act in the premises and
NO informed Mr.. Kenney. The cor
respondence between the Represent
atives Of Great Britain and this
Government was submitted to Mr..
Sewall, the Special Agent OF the
United States, on the 9Th OF August,
1898.

AS THE GALL HAS IT.
a Yarn in Connection with "Bob"
which blends romance with re-
ality.

Robert William Wilcox, the Haw-
allan revolutionist, according to a
recent decree OF the Supreme Court
in Turin, Italy, is no longer a bene-
dict. That Wilcox is the husband
OF the Princess Kaohelelani, and the
father OF her three children, did not
seem to affect the Italian tribunal
when IL declared that the Hawaiian
was a free and single man and that
his previous marriage to Miss Gina
Sobrero wss null and void. This is
the first marriage to be annulled in
the courts of Italy since the famous
divorce of the great Garibalji and
Miss Raimondi early in the '70's,
and it has created on aud of gossip
in aristoratic and military circles in
which Mrs. Wilcox is a shining
light.
The wooing of the noble Italian
maid by the man from Honolulu
aud the subsequent events which
marked the early days OF their union
reads like modernized version of
Claude Meluotte. All the facts were
brought out during the triaIfor di-
vorce, much to the delight OF the
'high life" of eunpv Italy. which de.
rives it's rarest pleasure by feeding
its inaammable Imagination on a
diet of romance.

means OF settling the points at IS
sue, would have been willingly en-
tertained, but as annexation had al
ready been consummated, the Gov
ernment considered it had no auth
ori.y to proceed further in the mat
ter.
The claim OF Mr.. Norre, q Danish
subject, was also brought second
time t. the notice OF the Govern
ment, but for the reasons above
stated 10 the cases of the British
and Portuguese subjects no action
was taken and the correspondence
was referred to Mr.. Sewall, Special
Agent OF the United States.
With the exception OF The case Of
Dunwell, set forth in the report OF
my predecessor for the years 1896
1897, the Government has acknowl-
edged no liability for the arrest and
imprisonment of persons implicated
in the insurrection OF 1895, and
though, having expressed itself as
willing to submit to arbitration in
order to settle the points at issue,
has not admitted that it has erred
in principle.
On May End, 1899, the Secretary
Of State requested a report upon the
facts OF each claim OF the British
subjects. This report was printed
and forwarded to him on the End of
September, 1899. Under date OF
October 23rd, 1899, a reply euclos-
ing an opinion by the Attorney.
General OF the United States, "a
copy of which may be seen in APP
pendix "F.") was received from the
Secretary Of State, which set forth
that all claims existing against Ha-
waii in favor of the subjects or citi-
zens OF foreign lands prior to aud at
the time of the annexation TO the
United States,are referred back to
the local Hawaiian Government for
its confederation and settlement.
The close OF the period found no
further change in the situation.
Soon thereafter a communication
date OF January 25th, 1900, was re-
ceived from Mr.. Sswall enclosing ad-
ditional papers relating to the Brit
ish claims aud copy OF note from
the Portuguese Minister at Wash
ington to Secretary Hay in relation
to the claim OF Manoel Gil Dos Refs;
also informing this Government
that the Danish Minister at Wash
ington had been informed that the
claim OF Edmund Norrie would also
be considered and determined by
the Hawaiian Government. This
reference of Mr.. Sewalls differed
from his former reference above
noted, under date of October 23rd,
in that the words consideration,
determination and payment" were
used instead of the words Consider

Their castles on the mountain and their

signs one might fancy that the city is

about to start, they hug and pat each
other on the back, say their farewells,

about half minute, seeing that the car
does not start, he returns and greets the
two prospective travellers with as much
pleasure as though they had just return

to make one.
Suddenly he appears to think that
some loose change might be useful to
them on their journey, SO thrusts his
hand down in his pocket and secures Sow
eral silver dollars, which he offers to
them and which they loudly protest
against receiving. He, however, insists
and, forcing it into their hands, retreats
for the door for fear they will thrust it
back upon him, all the while keeping up
the lively chat.
In about another minute, seeing the car
does not yet start, he opens the door and
comes in, talking as lively as ever, and
his companions are very glad to see him,
welcoming him very effusively and again
shaking hands and saying goodby as he
departs for the outside. On the friends
fourth entrance and departure the two
travellers follow to the platform and
stand chatting, laughing and saying more
farewells until the train starts and they
are compelled to separate, to their great
mutual regret and with expressions of
hope that they will soon meet again.
