A church choir, complete in all Its

The foreign ministers at Pekin have
prepared list OF high Chinese officials
whose execution they demand as a
punishment for their completely in the
Boxer outrages and the attack on the
legations. OF the expediency OF this
demand, in certain instances, there
may be some doubt; but of its substan-
tial justice, assuming that the officials
did what they are reputed to have
done. there can be no. question. While
the attempt is being made to distribute
responsibility and to exact penalty for
these crimes. neither the foreign min
listers at Pekin nor the powers which
they represent can afford to be indif-
ferent to certain other crimes, still
more inexcusable and atrocious.

A GREAT DIVIDEND.
New York's First National Bank Dt
vides Five Million Dollars.

NEW YORK, July 2s.-An enormous
extra dividend, said to have been equal
to 1000 per cent, OF s5OOO,OO0, has been
declared upon $4,000 old capital stock
of the First National Bank, which last
week increased it's capital to 5000 900.
The bank. which has been very promin
ent in many of the important financial
deals of the past three years, is known
to have made very heavy profits, and 1t
is supposed that the extra dividend is
declared in some way out of such old
profits. and that partly by means of this
extra big dividend the old stockholders
who number but eighteen, five of them
holding controlling interest-have paid
for their share of the 50, 900 of new
capital stock. The taking over of 81. $780,
600 of capital stock of the National
Bank of the Republic, by the exchange
of two shares of the Republic for one
share of First National stock required
S75O,Ooos of the new First National stock,
leaving $S,75o.000 to be otherwise distrib-
uted. the old stockholders supposedly
taking It.

Lethbridge's address before the Dexon
Association and the adventures of ma

pamphlet of great interest to many
Americans, says the Tribune's London
correspondent He had issued a circular
asking for information from the descen-
dants of Devon families abroad and re-
-ceived so many replies that he could
make up list of over 800 families and
tell what become of them. The bulk
Of these replies came from the United
States and Canada. The Endicott fam
lily, now represented in England by Mrs.
Joseph Chamberlain, has generally
traced to Dorset, but Sir Roper Leth-
bridge makes Devonshire it's original en-
y;ronment.

A DEFENCE OF
LORD ROBERTS
Debate on a Proposal to Grant
Him a Large
Fortune.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Commenting
upon the debate in the House of Com
mons upon the proposition to grant
Lord Roberts e1OO, 0O0 the London cor
respondent of the Tribune says:
Mr. Balfour in moving the grant told
in simple language how critical was
the situation after the defeat at Col
enso and Magersfontein and explained
the boldness and originality Of the
strategy by which Lord Roberts reliev-
ed Kimberley and Ladysmith. and en-
tered Bioenlfontein after a perilous and
exhausting march across a barren
country. He paid also an eloquent trib-
ute to the intuition, genius and cheer
full courage which enabled Lord Rob-
erts to press on to Pretoria with half
his force and three and a half days
supplies, when his hesitation would
have involved a ,protracted siege. No
other Englishman has been equally
candid in admitting the depIorable and
ruinous consequences from which the
British empire was delivered by the
genius and courage of General Roberts.
The speech made so profund an I'M
preston on the Commons that the OBJ
jections raised by Mr.. Dillon and
few of the Radical members were
heard with Impotence and irritation.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman was
patriotic enough to second Mr.. Bal
four's proposal with genuine Scotch
sincerity Lord Roberts popularity
has been waning under the unceasing
pressure of pessimism which has ac-
eompanied the protracted guerrilla op
erations. and the acrd criticism that
he abandoned the. field without bring
ing the war to an end. Mr.. Balfour's
eloquence will restore his pre-eminence
as the greatest living soldier.

Could a photos raph taken of our

could detect in it any changes, unless
perhaps in the soft rocks of Punchbowl

! that the present ragged skeletons of
oar mountains are due to erosion or
,westhering of something like million
years. The cutting down of the high

three thousand feet, or an average of
, three feet in one THOUSAND years. Kona-
huanui and Lanihulis, which preside
over each side of Nuuanu Pail. may
each have lost three or four feet in
height. since the Hawaiian Yoyagers
from Samoa first landed on Oahu.

sidence of massive volcanic island is
vastly greater than it's occasional slight

siderable fringe of land to it's coasts

other Islands are evidently gradually

For instance, you say, The volcano

have been more accurate. In 1887

about 800 acres of new land just added
to the southwest coast of Hawaii. This
addition must have contained not less
than ten. million tons of new rock.
Three times as much more must have
formed the remainder of the same lava
torrent inland or forty million tons in
all. Something like this amount is
plastered over some slope of Mauna

recollection of EVA district Just before
cattle began to multiply there in 1887 to

and little of mud freshets. The lower
uplands were then densely covered
with heritage. In a few decades the
land became denuded by cattle. and wa
