 the steamers Kodiak and Unimak for
 the season includes 217 whales, which yielded 5000 barrels of oil, says Sew ard paper. C. E.

B. Kirkland, an ex-preacher, who manages the company, issued an order against swearing, and that any man overheard swearing would be placed under arrest on the next trip of the whaler to Kodiak. Stead says that he was discharged by the manager, but that the others quit It seems, accord ing to the men, impossible to handle whales without swearing.

no tendency to cause lowering of the value in this country because of the fact that the shorter the European sup ply the greater would be the demand on that side of the water. As the world has adopted gold as the standard of exchange, Europe would be compelled to look to us for the replenishment of It's depleted supply-for the where withal to pay the debts to the rest of the world-and this would probably result in a decided rise in the value.
 At any rate there would be a sufn- cient demand to prevent any tendency to lower the value of the metal. Gold will probably never drop below it's present value as medium of exchange unless there should be such an immense quantity produced that 1t would ex- ceed the worlds demands so there is little In the present situation to give US any cause for worry.

in this case would come under the
great rule, established by Chief JUS

Ger having a machine bought by him
self for his own private use is taxed
at all it must come under a federal

be elevated to the chief justiceship when Judge
Robertson term expires. 1t is said to be taken
as foregone conclusion in Washington that
Chief Justice Robertson will not be reappoint-

ward is that he is a Republican. Now the
Democrats of Hawaii say frankly that Justice
Robertson's ability and experience are such
that he should be reappointed- that the Demo-

Congress will not turn again to the idea pro-
pounded by Congressman johnson, whose bill
aimed to make these islands the dumping
ground for the unfortunate persons in the var

Establishment Of national leprosarium, in which
Iepers from all sections Of the United States
may be confined at public expense, is to be

state and foreign commerce The committee
has decided to report the Adamson bill, 4 com

Of several bills on this subject by Congressman
johnson and others.

rosafium was renewed with the recent return
