WHITNEY AND BRYAN
 DISCUSS RAILROADS
NebraSkan Declared It Was Not His Intention To Con-
 fiSCate Roads.

OMAHA. Neb., March 8.-The Oma- ha Bee published the following:
 Henry M. Whitney, of Boston, dem ocratic nominee last fall for lieuten- ant governor of Massachusetts, and William J. Bryan engaged in spir- tied colloquy at the Omaha club to- day on the subject of government ownership of railroads It was at a dinner attended by them and several other prominent democrats of Ne braska.
 T am a director in the Boston and Maine railroad" said MT. Whitney, "and yet I can conceive of there be- ing virtue in the theory of govern ment ownership, but, MT. Bryan, be- fore you can succeed in securing the indorsement of the east of your scheme you must couple with your ad- vocacy of government ownership the specific declaration that you propose not to confscate property, but 10 pay for it at it's full value"
 MT. Bryan assured Whitney he and his friends had no thought or inten- ton of confiscation, and would not tolerate such system. But the difficulty would be-" said NIT. Bryan, determining the actual cash value. The railroads would want to run in their watered stock. !"
 Mir. Bryan asked Mir. Whitney if he believed government ownership of railroads a possibility. and Mir. Whit tiney replied:
 "Yes. if the Harrimans and the Hills keep at work. They are promot- ing this cause more than any other power. They are driving people to believe in the necessity of govern ment ownership as a relief from op- pressive private ownership. But be- lieve government regulation would meet the requirements"

PARDON Is ASKED FOR POLITICAL
 OFFENDERS
Petition Will Be Presented By
 Douma Asking For Amnesty for All Political 0ffenderS-
 Not Murderers.

ST. PETERSBURG. March 6.-The presentation by the lower house of parliament of unanimous petition for amnesty for all political offenders ex- eept those guilty of actual murder, Will probably result rem a conference of the conservative deputies held to- night.
 It was decided to support any re- quest made by the liberal members for the pardon of all persons imprisoned or eXfled for revolutionary agitation, whose hands were not actually stain ed with blood. The Radicals desire to make this demand include those guilty Of murder, but in order to secure a unanimous vote, they probably will consent to the separation of the two classes, and present an appeal for ter rorists as a separate motion.
 The constitutional democratic cen. tral committee held an important meeting today to hear the report of M Goloyin. the present president of the lower house on the audience with Emperor Nicholas, and to consider the Socialist protest against the candidacy for the vice-presidency of the lower house of Nj. Teslinski. The emperor's cordial reception of NJ. Golovin created an excellent impression on the com mittee and dispelled the lingering fears that the governing body was seeking only a good opportunity to dispose of the second parliament.
 It is evident that the emperor was not yexed at the refusal of the Radical deputies to honor his name in the opening ceremonies by rising.
 The Associated Press is informed that the tone of Premier Stolypin's declaration to parliament will be tenn perate, but firm. It lays down the exact limits to which the cabinet is prepared to go, and outlines with con siderable detail the programme of legislation which he desires enacted.

Convict Regiments.

At the beginning Of the eighteenth
century the British army had bad
reputation at home, and it was very
difficult to get recruits for it. For this
reason it was officially proposed to find
the men by an impressment falling on
ANY sturdy beggar, fortune teller or
the like idle, unknown, suspected fell
low in the parish; or, If there be none
such. then any one that has already
been in a gaol or before justice of the
peace for his idle, disorderly life" The
advice was acted upon. Debtors were
released from prison on promising to
join the army or the navy, criminals
were pardoned on the same terms, and
persons with no visible means of sub
sistence We're marched off to death and
glory. The system worked out better
than might have been expected. In the
peninsular war, for instance, three new
regiments We're composed entirely of
convicts, and one made for itself an IL
lustriouS name.

The Opal Superstition.

The world is full of superstition, and
one of the worst is that the opal is
"unlucky." This superstition arose
when the ''black DEATH swept Europe.
At that time the opal was very popu-
lar, and some noticed that when vic
tim of the disease was dying the opal
on the finger frightened and when he
was dead it became dull OF course
this took the popular fancy, and at once
Dpals became "unlucky" and have re-
NAMED so ever since Very likely they
do not change at all on the fingers Of
dying person, and the whole matter
is like that question which once caused
so much discussion in the scientific
world. e., why is it that when you
put fish in bowl of water the
weight Of the bowl of water is not in
creased? Many learned answers were
given, but finally one duffer weighed
bowl of water with and without the
fish in It and thus settled the matter.

Dangerous Good Measure.

A well to do elderly gentleman liv-

PIMA is known in the neighborhood as
something Of miser and has made
himself extremely unpopular with To-

Eettling his bills. Quite recently he

fian, who wrote him a prescription,
which he took to a drug store near his
home to have filled. BE sure and let
he have good measure, won't you, Mr..
Blank" said he. with his customary
smirk. and a broad smile came over
the face of the druggist as he read the
prescription. For once" he replied,

The hostility of New Englanders to

KAPIOLANI HOME
IS NOT SECURED
Supreme Court Holds Ii Has No
Lien on Corpus of Kapio-
Iani Estate.

BY a unanimous opinion, written by
Justice BalIou. the Supreme Court
af1rms a decree of the Court of Land
Registration registering the title of
Levers & Cooke, Ltd, to a parcel of
land free from an equitable lien claim
ed thereon by the Kapiolani Home of
the Hooulu and Hoola Lahui Society,
appellant C. H. Olson (Holmes 81
Stanley with him on the brief), repre-
sented Kapiolani Home. and D. L.
Wilmington castle & Wilmington with
him on the brief Levers & Cooke, Ltd.
On February 10, 1898. Queen Dowager
Kapiolani conveyed to David Kawa-
nanakoa and Jonah Kalanianaole one
hundred and twenty-four separate par
cells of real estate including the one in
controversy and all of her personal
property including bonds and stocks;
the grantees in consideration thereof
agreeing to pay her $1,000 a month dur
ing her lifetime and to assume and
pay all of her debts and obligations
of every kind not exceeding $50, 600.
On the same day the parties execut-
eel a separate dS ieciIiS1AI ACSlbiAASo liz
conveyance by Queen Kapiolani of all
her property, her desire to donate the
sum of $4,000 to the Kapiolani Home,
of which she was president. and the
propriety of her beneficiaries carrying
out this intention. David Kawanana-
koa and, Jonah Kalanianaole thereupon
agree and covenant that they will give
and pay to the said Home the sum
of $4,000 as a gift, donation and AID
from Queen Kapiolani said money to
be paid at the rate of 800 month.
Then follows a clause of which the
translation of the original Hawaiian
is as follows:
And both parties mutually agree
that this sum of ten thousand dollars
($10,O00) be made a debt for Her Ma
jesty Queen Kapiolani and be paid
from all the property conveyed by said
Queen Kapiolani to the said parties or
the first part"
Quoting from a standard authority
on such questions, the court says:
''While the language in the case at par
is not wholly free from doubt we cam
not say that it indicates with sufficient
clearness an intention to hold the real
estate as security for the payment of
the obligation"
Finally it says: Ceases which. con-
strue the language of bills with refer
ence to the question of charging lega-
cies upon the real estate involve too
many other considerations to make
them of assistance in this case. In
this case the parties have designated
the source from which the payments
are to be made, possibly to avoid con-
fusion arising from the statement that
the sum was a debt of the queens,
but this does not fairly imply that the
entire corpus of the real estate was to
! be encountered by a charge.
