Editor Advertiser: I would be very
glad if you would give publicity to the
fact that during this coming spring,
Hawa:i's Delegate will be entitled TO
nominate one cadet each to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, and the Mill
tary Academy at West Point.
Preliminary competitive examinations
for both these appointments will be
held early in February, under the dt-
rection of superintendent Atkinson,
from whom detailed information may
be obtained
This preliminary examination is open
to boys throughout the islands, who
are between the ages of II and %, and
is for my guidance in the nomination
of one candidate and two alternates for
each institution. The official examin-
alton to select one of the three desig-
held in Honolulu on April IS. That for
selection Of one of the three for the
Military Academy will be given in Ho-
nolulu on May LIST In each case the
candidate named by me will be ap-
pointed providing he pass a satisfac-
tory examina ton; in the event of his
failure, the alternate passing the high
est examination will receive the APP
pointment.
L trust that the competition may
bring out some strong candidates, so |
that the appointees in both cases may
be a credit to the Territory.

that a gun might have been charged
with a loaded cartridge by mistake.
Such a thing, however it was admitted
was hard to conceive without deliber-
ate plot. From the holes passing
through the double windows it is GER
tain that the bullets came from the
direction of the Bourse.
In the meantime there was no evil
dence outside of what occurred. The
crowds of people who formed black
lines along the quays, the palace
bridge, the steps of the Bourse and
every other point of vantage in the
White Arctic landscape did not betray
the slightest excitement. Neither did
the imperial party in the chapel below.
Although the actual ceremony was
ended, the Emperor remained and &C
companied the Metropolitan and clergy
as they circled the pavilion around the
chapel to bless the gorgeous standards
of the famous guard regiments assem-
bled there. Then the procession moved

ceived the diplomats in his usual cor
dial, gentle manner, reviewed the

the palace and subsequently had lunch
con served in the state dining-room
Additional particulars show that the
Emperor had miraculous escape
There is no longer any doubt that the
missiles came from gun on the
BOurse battery which was loaded with
grape. Some of the bullets actually
struck the little open chapel in which
the Emperor was standing, cut the
staff of one of the standards and fair
ly riddled the basement windows If

little lower the charge of grape might
have wiped out the whole Romanoff
dynasty.

the authorities do not manifest the
slightest apprehension on this score.
The Cossacks and the Guard regiments,
they declare, can be relied upon. Two
regiments of infantry have also been
brought here from Riga. Nevertheless,
the authorities are extremely nervous,
realizing that blood once spilled in the
present temper of the excited men,
spurred on by socialist agitators, it is
impossible to predict the end. The En-
peror's advisers, however, declare he
must put down the agitation with firm
hands and that if he yields, as Louis
XVI at Versailles, all may be lost. The
present resolution of the Government
is not to give way.
While drunken rows have occurred
and number of men have been in
jured, no serious collisions have been
reported UP to this morning. An enor-
nous number of arrests of known rev.
olutionists took place during the night.
Altogether the situation is most criti-
cal. Father Gopon, when apprised that
the Government proposed to prevent
the demonstration tomorrow, issued in
to the men that they must
go to the Palace square with their
wives and children, but the men must
be armed he is reported to have said.
I'VE must first show we are peaceful
We have appealed in vain to the en-
ployers and to the bureaucracy. Our
last hope is the Emperor himself. If
he refuses to see us and orders them
to dispense US, then we must fight"
Father Gopon has had a guard of 400
sworn workmen formed to protect the
Emperor from harm if he will come to
the Palace square tomorrow.

THE MOB At
ST. PETERSBURG
ASSOCIATED Press Specially

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 21.-St. Pc
tersburg this morning presents the
appearance of a beleaguered city. The
military are in complete possession.
The streets are lined with troops, gal
Looping squadrons of cavalry are seen
everywhere, gendarmes are concealed
in all the courtyards and the closed
factories and mills are surrounded by
cordons of police and Cossacks.
On every bulletin board is posted the
Governments proclamation warning
the people against assembling. De-
spite the energetic measures taken to
insure the safety of the city the in
habitants are in state bordering on
terror. The widest rumors regarding
the intentions of the mob are afloat,
and many small retailers did not open
their shops today. An edict has gone
forth that no shops must open tomor-
row, when the great assemblage on
the Palace square is scheduled to take
place. Although the authorities seem
ingly are determined to prevent it,
Preparations for the gigantic demon
stration are proceeding. the men de-
claring that they are ready to die in
their tracks.
The plan of the authorities is to pre-
vent the workmen tomorrow from en-
tering the city proper The industrial
section beyond the Neva. Moscow and
Nevsky gate will be cut off and all
bridges Will be guarded. Several bat
teries of artillery have been brought
into the city.
Father Gopon, who was reported to
have been kidnapped during the night,
is understood to be at large this morn
ing, going from place to place organic
ing and directing everything. His die
tum is that the meeting shall take
place on the Palace square. no matter

He says they must be resolved to do
or die. 1t is noteworthy that the lead
ers are going back to the French rev
olution for their parallels. The depu-
tation sent to Tsarskoe-SeIo was the
march of the mob to Versailles. The
assemblage planned for tomorrow is
likened to the march of the multitude

ieries TO present their demands to

troops may be overawed by the mob,

California has been much exercised
lately because of a movement to re-
store the Yosemite valley to the care
of the United States Government. up
on the plea that the state was not
sufficiently heedful of it's trust. AS
matter of fact, there has been "a lot
of miscellaneous graft in connection
with the States management of the
affairs of Yosemite, and not so much
done in the way of conservation OF
natural beauty as should have BEEN

about California land than any other

national government, and consequently
can be taken back whether the State
consents or whether it does not.

The action of McBryde plantation in
opening homesteads is in line with the
admirable policy recently declared by
the planters. Diversified agriculture
has steadily gained ground since the
Advertiser took it up and the prospect
is that, in few years, the islands will
supply themselves with a great deal
of food that is now brought in from
the coast and export many products
besides sugar. Commissioner Pratt is
a great help, his land-opening policy
removing one of the serious obstacles
to general farming. The strong stand
of the Merchants Association is also
a propitious sign. 1t is more than
probable that the influence of the
United States Government viii be ex-
ercised as soon as the forts and posts
are built towards the creation of an
agriculture which will enable the is
lands to stand a siege One of the
strongest motives in such a connection
would be to keep the Asiatic field

TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS.

An exchange suggests that its AS
sessments are going to he put mp.
it would be well to first cnt down
the tax rate. That would not in
the least improve the present con.
dition OF affairs, nor relieve the
poorer tax payers from paying dis
proportionately.
The only way to correct the cry
ing injustice to the poorer tax pay
ers is to assess all on the same
basis, Take the State from end to
end, and with comparatively few
exceptions, the r,ch man s property
Is assessed at lower percentage Of
It's real value than the poorer mans
llttIe property next door. 1t is so
III New Orleans, it is so in Baton
Rouge, aud il is 80 everywhere.
The on V way To correct this evil is
to assess every acre a. tho eonst,-
tntion demands, at its actual value.
The justice Of equalization Of as
sessments appeal to all, and all
know that equalization can never
be attained by reducing the tax
rate without equalzing relative
values Equalze values aud put
the assessments where they belong,
aud every newspaper aud public
man in the State will voice the
popular demand for lower tax
rates. No one would be fool
to do otherwise. A lower
tan rate pending equalized assess
meats is ont OF the question.
Onenf the principal troubles with |
Louisiana today is that except |
where special taxes are levied for
local purposes, The pubic revenues
are low in relation to the actual
values subject to taxation. Hold |
lug down State assessments I
aud levying local taxes for
local purposes is not fair nor
honest to the State, and this
custom constitutes one of the worst
evils in the body polite today. 1t
is an evil because it encourages lack
of State pride. No State can be
really great unless its people prove
their Wanted State pride by gen
uine esprit de corps in all matters
pertaining to the welfare Of the
State and nothing should be so
close to the heart Of the State as

ONLY GIRL BABIES GROWN IN

OF fifty five births recorded du-
ring last year in Carson City, New,
not one was male, writes Bar
rington King, of Albany, to the
London Lancet. The causes I'M
derlying the differences in sex (if
in fact, there are any causes other
than chance) are not only matters
of great interest but OF Importance
as well. Carson City, where this
extraordinary proportion of female
births occurred, has in its popula-
ton a much greater proportion of
males than almost any other city
in the States, it being a Western
mining town. Can i. be that this
is an effort of nature to correct the
ratioi If so has this circumstance

person has done so much to bring sun
shine into the lives Of tired and WORE

many cares and gloom that have how
cred over countless thousands have by
the magic of his personality been
driven to oblivion. and the recipient
refreshed, restored, has taken up the
burden of life with new zest, fresh
faith. In this sense he was grand
benefactor Mr.. Jefferson some years
ago bought what was then known as
Orange Island, in this Parish, fine
estate of some thousands of acres,
which he has developed and beauti-
fed, frequently staying here and en-

Elk President Cleveland was his guest
at the Island home. Although here
but seldom, his visits made many
friends, who recall his fine qualities
If head and heart, the entire commun-
