TALK WINS OVER THE INDIANS.

Indian Agent Tells How He Once
Averted General Massacre.
Colonel John d. Miles, for twenty
years an Indian agent, talked to the
Lawrence Y. NJ. c. A. the other day
Of Indian matters. Among other things
he told of a narrow escape he had.
Following the Indian outbreak In
1874, Colonel Miles. In common with
all the whites at the agency, nearly lost
his life, speech of which he made to
the Indians in their own tongue be-
ing so well received by the Indians as
to placate them and turn their MUIR
derous intentions One big Indian who
came TO the agency to draw his beef de-
ing week, which he had failed to come
for at the proper time. The regulations
Of the agency forbade delivering back
supplies and the Indian was refused
his meat. Later he came back, drew a
revolver on the clerk and compelled
him to deliver the extra beef.
troop of soldiers which was sent
out to arrest the thief was surrounded
by 500 armed braves and given min
utes to get back to the fort. They got
back. Then the Indians came on to
the agency, determined to kill all the
whites there. Colonel Miles was lined
up with others to be shot. but he asked
permission to make a speech and was
given leave He used their own tongue
with such skill that they released not
only him but all the others.
"a few months ago." said he in his
speech, your old men sent you braves
out to slay and to burn. You went
and you did as you were told. Had
you come back without scalps your
squaws would have laughed at you,
called you squaws and hated you. You
had to do what you were sent to do.
The great father has sent US here and
told us what to do. He says to issue
no back rations. See, here Is my In
struction." He displayed his written
orders from Washington. II must do
as the great father tells me or l can
not 60 back. The general from the
fort will show you his orders. He, too,
must do as he Is told by the great IA
Their to do. Now tell me, what else
could l have done"
The Indians saw the logic and heed
ed the appeal to fair play. 1t was over
year from that time until Colonel
Miles was again given trouble by his
wards Of the government

An old colored nanny, who had
served the mistress of a Baltimore
family many years, was telling that
lady's daughter some of her own per-
sonal experiences in her younger days.
Nanny was known as "Aunty Prior"
to the household and as isis Prior to
fellow-negroes on the plantation. She
had small grudge against one, Eme-
line Dorsey, fellow servant, but
bided her time for revenge. The oppor-
tunity came when Emeline appeared at
meeting in new Easter bonnet, and
Sis Prior, catching a glimpse Of it,
seated herself directly behind the wear
err in the church.
Every time the speaker paused In
his address Sis Prior uttered fervent
"Amen!' By degrees she began to rock
backward and forward, and finally the
spirit moved her to lay violent hands
upon the finery adjoining Emeline Dor
sey's head.

ceitful nigger's head" she told her
nearer, land tramped it and tramped

the east branch had its source in a
much smaller lake. In 1876 Wisconsin
came into the Union, its boundary des-
ignated as follows: From Lake of the
Desert, thence in a direct line to the
headwaters of the Montreal river as
marked on the survey made by Captain
Cram
The accompanying map shows the
boundary line as marked by Captain
Cram and what is claimed as the cor
rect boundary. The portion between
the two rivers Is much more valuable.
Representative James S. Monroe, who
represents the city of Ironwood dis
trict, on the boundary line. says that
what Is marked on the map as the
Montreal river" is now known as the
least branch" and the least branch"
as marked Is called the Montreal
river"
Inasmuch as Wisconsin has held the
disputed territory for sixty-six years
there are doubts as to whether she
will row consent even to a discussion
OF the proposition to rearrange the
boundary.

offender what he meant by such con-

safety in a submarine.

Judging from an article in the Paris
Nature, translated for the Literary Di-
gest, life in a submarine vessel is not a
particularly hazardous occupation. Re-
ferring to the recent catastrophes of the
Farfadet and the Lutin, the public mind
has been filled with apprehensions about
the extreme danger of submarine naYiga-
ton This writer points out that a few
grains of sand in the thread of the screw
Of the headpiece of the Farfadet had pre-
vented it from closing tightly. and that
in the case of the Lutin pebble prevent
ed the closing of the valve for replenish-
ing the water ballast. Both Of these ac-
cidents were easily preyentable, and the
writer contends that these were the only
two serious catastrophes suffered by the
French submarine fotilla in the course of
10000 dives made since it was organized

Does boiling kin microbes.

An article by a French saYant, trans-
lated for the Literary Digest, and pub
lished in a recent issue of that magazine,
takes issue with the commonly held no
ton that boiling is an effective method
Of sterilization. Tbs writer claims that
simply heating water to the boiling point
does not insure the destruction of all
living organisms. To make sure Of this
result the fluid acted upon should be
subjected to a high degree of heat under
pressure in vessels specially designed for
the purpose.

MONUMENT TO FRAUD.
Graft Reached It's Zenith in Build
ing of Pennsylvania Capitol.


Pennsylvania investigation of its
magnificent new State capitol is on, and
the indications of graft in the $13O00,-
coo edifce are oyerpowering.
The building, which was estimated to
cost 100000 complete, has cost more
than three times that much. Over ST.
100000 was spent alone in furnishing"
it. 1t stands as a gorgeous monument
of mismanagement and fraud, more ornate
than Hindoo temple, more gaudy than
a Russian cathedral, more barbarc in
its ornamentation than a mosque, and
parts of it are as false and artificial as

COST OF LOCAL.
NAVAL STATION
UNITED STATES SPENDS $780,
A YEAR TO MAINTAIN THE HO-
NOLULU STATION.

The United States naval station has
been paying out in Honolulu one hun
bred thousand dollars a year in sala-
ries and for supplies, repairs, upkeep
and paraphernalia. This includes the
cost of keeping the U. S. IroQuois here.
This expenditure will be increased
to a very considerable extent if the
bill for the advancement Of the pay OF
all Naval officers, to come before Con-
gress in December, goes through.
When the Naval station is moved to
Pearl Harbor the fiotation of Naval
money here will be several times as
much as now. AS it is, all necessary
improvements in the service, increase
of marine guard, proper barracks and
many other requirements, are held up
for the reason that it is the policy OF
the department not to make any inn
provements on the present temporary
site.

HILO, October 3.-Jack London ex-

seas this week, perhaps today, per-
haps tomorrow. r. A. Lucas is the
man who will decide this, however,
and not the owner of the yacht, for
Lucas is still at work on the gasolene
engines and has also been straighten-
ing the blades of the Sharks propeller.
THE Shark was born in trouble, !"
said Jack London, Eat the time of the
San Francisco earthquake, and she has
not yet got out of it. But must say
this, Lucas knows more about gasolene
engines than any man who has yet
touched them and this will be the first
really good start the ketch has made.
When she leaves here she will be in
better condition than she has ever
been"

After young Pahia had been taken in

Honolulu and had a conference with
the attorney retained for the young

COMMITTEE CALLS

PROPOSITION TO STEAMSHIP
co. ABOUT HILo WHARF.

Governor Frear had a consultation
yesterday afternoon with a committee
of the Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company, which called on him for the
purpose of urging their proposition for
leasing the government wharf at Hilo.
The Governor has made it clear that
the Territory cannot lease the wharf
outright as the company wished, but
must retain control. AS a result the
Territory will make the company a
counter proposition, which will prob
ably be mailed today. 1t will provide
for the alteration of the wharf by the
company, and the use of it by the
company under the control of the Ter
ritory. Whether or not the terms will
be satisfactory or not remains to De
seen
The committee which waited on the
Governor yesterday was made up OK

.HILO WHARF CASE
TO WASHINGTON
GOVERNOR FREAR NOTIFIES HI
10 THAT HE HAS REFERRED
MATTERS TO AUTHORITIES.

HILO, October 3.-Just before the
Claudine left Honolulu on Friday, the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Com
pany received a communication from
Governor Frear to the effect that the
matter of the lease of the Government
wharf must be referred TO Washington
and there be approved by the Federal
authorities. This step postpones all
action for the present.
Mr.. w. Mckay, Jr., who returned
from Honolulu yesterday, states posi-
lively that the new steamer will not
dock at the Railroad wharf, and he
feels that it is up to the people of Hilo
to take further action if they desire to
avoid landing here in boats and the
payment of lighterage for freight.
The United States referring to the
construction Of wharves approved
March 3, 1899, reads as follows:
ut shall not be lawful to build or
commence the building of any wharf,
pier, dolphin, boom, weir, breakwater
bulkhead, jetty or other structures in
any port, roadstead, haven, ha-bor,
canal, navigable river, or other water
of the United States, outside establish
ed harbor lines, or where no harbor
lines have been established except on
plans recommended by the Chief OF
Engineers and authorized by the Sec
rotary of War"
