Ion route will probably hurt it still more. France

quicker means of communication, first of all with
Switzerland. This would be provided by tun-
neling the Faucille pass, an engineering work
estimated to cost $23,O00,00O, and to occupy five
years. BY this way route almost in straight
line would be opened from Djon to Geneva. The
second and more startling part OF the scheme IS
the proposed continuation of the line from Geneva
by way of Chamonix, through Mont Blanc to
Aosta, thus connecting with the Italian system.
The advantages of the route for French trade are
obvious, as by far the most rapid route from Eng
land to Italy would pass across half Of France.
According to a recent Census Bureau bulletin
there are 1,638,321 more males than females In
the United States. But there are 201,959 more
females than males in 1861 large Cities indicating
an excess of males over females in country dis
tricts of 1840,280 In 1890 the excess of males
in country districts was about 100000. The rea-
son assigned is that industrial conditions in cities
are such that women can enter business career
with more facility than before, and this is sharp
ened by necessity, since they are in many in
stances left without support by the men who seek
the mines and forests for more strenuous and
masculine employment. The same influences that
have reduced the male population OF the state
of Massachusetts to AT per cent of the total oper-
ate in varying degree all over the country. The
men tend to seek their fortune in places where
there is plenty of elbow room, as Daniel Boone
described free space. Women tend rather to
socialized condition where they cannot only
make living but enjoy the presence of the fel-
lowship of their kind.

city is now paying $146 for each arc lamp ana
more than 10 cents kilowatt hour for the otner

"The total cost to the city of gas and electric

The money counters in the United States
treasury were startled one day by the appearance
OF remarkable looking fat man" who entered
the department and told strange tale, relates
the Chicago Chronicle He said he was an Ohio
farmer and did not believe in banks and SO had
buried his money in the ground for safe keeping
He had dug it up and was Mortified to find that
it was slowly turning to dust notes will when
lang buried. Panic-stricken he gathered the dis
irtegrated money into an old pillow case, bound
it around his waist beneath his clothes and start
ed for Washington. He travelled part OF the way
on horseback, part Of the way on an Ohio river
steamboat and part of the way by train During
the journey he never once took OF the pillow
case He even slept with it on. The officials
of the treasury department found 1t d1fncult TO
make him part with it. He did not want to go
with clerk to hotel for fear the clerk might
rob him, but as it was manifestly impossible
for him to disrobe in the Office he had finally to
submit They got the money at last and the
condition of it was SO bad that Mrs. Leonard, an
expert, had to be called to decpher it. So great
was her skill that the farmer lost only few
hundred dollars out of $4,000.

TEAM
WAS A WONDER
COULD PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP
BALL UNTIL THEY GOT ON THE
DIAMOND YESTERDAY.

They are mighty baseball players
on the transport Sherman-eXcept when
they play, then their might oozes out of
their finger ends. The Sherman peo-
pie descended like a wolf on the Homo
lulu baseball fold yesterday and went
back home as meek as lambs.
The captain of the Sherman inquired
some days ago of Bob White of the
teams i'm Honolulu. You see," said
the captain of the Sherman outfit I'VE
have the swiftest baseball proposition
that ever crossed the Pacific We were
in the league in the Philippines and
though we don't win, you know how
that was, we were the best team over

thing swift here ,trot it out. Tell the
men not to wear any new suits either,
for we will splatter the outfit with rot.

whirlwind and well, you know Bosko

in our playing unless you have some
thing good, we don't want to go out
they and make you dubs here look
like a Russian warship."
White lost his breath for an instant
as the talk was going, he had seen
crack teams from other transports
go up against the proposition here, so
he mildly suggested that perhaps it
would be wiser to have an opening
game with some minor club. But no,
this would not do, it wouldn't be a
square deal to the people, declared the
representative of the Sherman nine, to
throw any skates against them. So
White finally arranged a game with
the Punahou team, the outfit that con-
stitutes the tail enders in the league.
The game was played yesterday.
But why, relate the painful? The
score will eloquently tell the tale.
PunahOu II Sherman and they played

RUSSIAN SHIPS
IN BAD SHAPE
OFFICERS OF TRANSPORT WAR
rem HAD A CHANCE TO COM
PARE THEM WITH JAPAN'S.

When the transport Warren, now in
port, was at Manila she lay only
short distance from the three Russian
ships which managed to escape from
the Japanese during the battle of the
Korean Straits, the Aurora, Oleg and
zemtchug
THE Oleg lay nearest to us, said
Third officer Dutton of the Warren
this morning, "and we had ample OPP
portunity of examining her. She was
decidedly the worst treated of the
three. She was shot through and
through and the wonder is that her
casualty list was not larger than it
was reported to be. There were shot
holes above and below her water line
and the location of her wounds was
proof positive to me that they were
not the result of any chance firing by
the Japanese The hits were grouped
about the most vital parts of the ship
and about the guns.
"Of course we saw a number Of the
officers and men about, but l had no
conversation with any of them They
are scrubby looking lot and appear
ed very much downcast over the for
tune of war which had wiped out their
fleet. They had lost all heart and but
little attempt had been made by them
to clean up their vessels. The contrast
with the japanese was most marked.
When we were in Nagasaki one of the
big Japanese ship which had taken
part in the battle came into port. She
had been hit several times, we were
| informed, but she came in as neat,
clean and ship shape as if she had been
to a review. Her repairs had all been
effected at sea and there was no sign
at the first glance to show that she
had just taken part in one of the
greatest battles of history"
Lieut.. Dutton is an Annapolis grad
uate and was many years in the navy.

WARREN TO Be
REPAIRED HERE
VESSEL WILL BE TIPPED AFTER
DEPARTURE OFyTHE SHERIDAN
TODAY.


The transport Warren is to be re-
paired at this port before she proceeds
on her voyage to the coast. AS soon
as the transport Sherman moves out
of slip No. /, the Warren will haul out
into the stream and then back into the
same slip This reversal of the YES
sci will be done for the purpose Of
securing as great a dept as possible
for the bow, so that end of the craft
can be depressed
When the Warren was formerly in
Honolulu and had to make repairs to
her propeller, two blades having drop
ped off, the vessel was then heading
mauka but the slip has filled in since
that time and there Is not enough wa
ter to permit the bow to be sunk at
the head of the slip. The operation
of repairing the vessel will be similar
to that followed several years ago
when the Warren was i'm port. The
bow will be depressed and the after
part of the vessel lightened for the
purpose of throwing the stern high out
of water. AS soon as the hub of the
propeller will be sufficiently out Of
water, the work of removing the broken
end of the lost blade will be begun and
the new blade will be shipped.

feet that &c. p. Judd refuses to sign
the minutes"
G. p. Judd, as is well known, was
the kings representative on the com
mission and his refusal to concur OBJ
viOusly annoyed the naughty British
nobleman as the letters show.
There is his letter to Kamehameha
demanding that Judd be removed and
some other person appointed, and there
is also the kings abrupt refusal to
comply. The record runs along in the
complete, though somewhat stilted Ian
guage of the time, but it comes to an
abrupt end on July 81 when it closes
with a memorandum in the perfect
handwriting of Lord George Paulet
himself.
On this day, writes his lordship, the
British flag was hauled down by order
of Rear Admiral Richard Thomas,
commander in-chief of Her Majesty
naval forces in the Pacific ocean, ana
the native flag hoisted, in consequence
OF which the functions of the British
Commission ceased.
This is the official record of the right
full act of restitution which endeared
Admiral Thomas to the people of Ha-
wall. The Hawaiian flag, it will be re-
membered, was hoisted i'm the place
now known as Thomas Square. The
grateful king presented the land TO Ad-
miral Thomas, who in turn, gracefully
re-cOnveyed it to the people to be used
as park.
These interesting records have just
been saved in time for in few years
or even months they would have been
utterly destroyed.
