problem by cutting the knot. He issued
a pere1nptory order that every adult

out license, marry her on Il given day,
love, honor and protect, if not obey her,
and settle down to housekeeping. The
Guamites made no objection even to
this extraordinary proposition. On the

To crown his reforms Capt. Leary

that slavery was abolished in Guam.

proved apt scholars, and although his
administration has involved the COM

they have taken to it kindly and even
with certain sort of enthusiasm.
Capt. Leary, says the Chicago Trib-
une, has been naval governor of Guam
for barely year, but he was no soon
er in his gubernatoral chair than he
entered upon his work of reform.
His frst step was to cure his subjects
of lazlness, and this he did by notify

governor and his garrison also. Not
