General gratification at the Hure of the revolution is expressed, and ssion is given to the hope both of the stability of the young rept and of the error of the policy on the part of the United States, which seems to en- courage disorder and revolution by the ene- mies of the government on those islands. ‘The democ t publicly in criticism of the administration but the prevailing sentiment even among them is one ef disapproval of the course of the administration in this matter. The republicans were quick to respor to pub lic sentiment, and resolutions were intro- duced in beth houses of Congress more or vigorously condemning the action of less the administration in failing to maintain an American vessel at Honolulu. The coincidence of the British ship Chara- pien having sailed away from Hawzeil shortly before the revolution occurred ‘s commented upon as significant of the Brit- ish actitude toward Hawaii, and the report ef Admiral Waiter, written on board the Philadelphia on the return from Hawaii to Mare Island, ts reviewed with interest. Admiral Walker's Report. In this report Admiral Walker says: “I felt that the departnre of both the Philadelphia and the Champion (the only men-of-war at Honolulu, would be, under existing political conditions, not favorable to order and security in the tslands. It would leave both parties entirely ‘ree and dependent upon their own resources, with- out any support, nominal or actual, from an outside source. In my opinion the republic has ample strength to maintain itseif and to preserve peace, and would suppress riot or counter revolution with a firm hand; but as long as foreign vessels lay in the harbor of Honolulu ready at a moment's notice, in the event of disturbance, to land forces to se- cure the safety of life and property, it was open to the enemies of the government to say“that tranquility was maintained only by the presence of those ships. I fouad leading members of the government and others strongly of this opinion and express- ing satisfaction with the prospect of being left for a time entirely alone. But ‘as soon as it was known that the Philadelphia was to leave on the Sth, a movement was set on foot among the nglish residents to retain the Champion, and the British minister, Major Wod house, wilingly consented to order her to remain in port. When I left Honolulu the Champion was to remain until the arrival of the Hyacinth, which plan keeps an English ship con- tinually at that port. Under these cir- cumstances an American ship should aiso be kept there all the time. While I would not hesitate in the least to ieave the islands entirely alone I deem it unsafe to leave them under British protection. It jeopard- izes our influence there, and might lead to ard complications position of the U sed by the late Senate resolution, entiy defined, and in its relation to other powers is clearly understood by both es and foreigners in Hawaii; but that n involves responsibilities as well as if we are not at hand to per- uties of our virtual protectorate no reproach can attach to another power whic ited States, as ex- in and takes our place. It would have a strong argrment in its favor, and that seriiment im the Pacific would gerly embrace such an opportunity would make the most of its consequences I have little doubt. Had the departments sraers given me ae ion in the matter, I should have left the Philadelphia at Honolulu and_re- turned to San Francisco with my staff by mail steamer, failing tne arrival of the Charleston by the 18th; but as they were entirely unqualified, I had no choice but to obey thera at the earliest moment that such a course was justified by paramount pubtic Interests. I trust that another ship will be sent to Honolalu at the carliest practicable moment.” Representative Livingstone. Representative Livingstone of Georgia, speaking of the revolution, said that he thought it Is the duty of this government to take charge of the affairs in Hawail either by annexing the island or by estab- lishing a protectorate. He disapproved of the course of the a:lministration and said that if the United States government did not take proper action in the matter it would not be long before a body of men from the south would go to Hawaii and assist in the establishment of a govern- ment there which would be stable and defy these conspiracies and revolutions. Representative Storer. Representative Storer, a member of the committee on foreign affairs, said that this revolution showed how well Admiral Walker had understood the situation, and that the administration was reprehensible for having disregarded the information and advice contained in the admiral’s report. He said that he did not know what Con- gress could do about the matter, but that the rollcy of the administration toward Hawail was shameful and put a heavy re- sponsibility upon Mr. Cleveland. The matter, he said, would come before the committee on foreign affairs threugh the resolution to be-imtroduced by Mr. Hitt teday, declaring it to be the sense of the Heuse that an American navy vessel should be kept in Hawaii and that steps should be taken by this government for establishment of cable communications between the United States and Honotulu. He anticipates that the discussion before the committee will be straightforward and vigorous, Senater Lodge. Senator Lodge this afternoon said that the Hawaiian question would not be side- tracked by any means by reason of the lack of time today for its discussion. subject will certainly be brought again to the attention of the Senate on Monday, and the various resofutions that are on the table on the calendar will be discussed with unusual energy. “I have no reason to doubt,” he said, “the accuracy of the re- that have come from Honolulu this 3 but there is enough to show lency of events.

I have also a distinct sus- picion that the British warship was with- drawn from fonolulu to permit just such an affair to take place. It seems to me that the republic of the United States is directly responsible for the dexth of young Carter, whom I knew per- sonally to be one of the loveliest men who ever lived. He was the son of the late fess that I cannot account for the foreign | and diplomatic policy of the United States. It is more than a mystery to me, and I betieve it is not only a mystery but most unpopular to the people of the United Stues. ‘There is no question that the people gen- erally condemn the President and State Depzrtment for its Hawaiian policy. One of the most remarkable things about the whole business is th> change of heart that cevtair. of our statesmen have experienced on the subject of annexation. There was a tiras when we were all in favor of it with but few exceptions. The plum ripened and dropped squarely imio our laps. ‘Then came the present administration with its mysterious foreign policy and de- liverately threw it away. The Senate, however, will not discontinue to agitate the question. There will be plenty of talk or this subject next week. I am almost glad that T had not the opportunity to say very much on the floor this morning, for my indignation is such that I fear I snould have said something decidedly un- parliamentary. Gen. Sickles. Gen. Sickles said that it simply increased the regret universally felt that we have no warship at Hawaii. “It is,” he said, “mor- ing that the American interests In Ha- wail are thus left unprotected. We should rot have been without a vessel there; not that we would interfere with the domestic aifuirs of Hawaii, but because our interests should never be left so exposed. The news must have interrupted sleep at the White honse last night; I imagine it may have caused more uneasiress there than in Hawaii. me Opposite Opinions. Representative Caruth said that he did not think we had any right to interefere in Hawaliar arfairs. He thought that the policy for the first should have been one of “hands off." Representative Caichings said that he saw no recson why this country should maintain a fleet in Hawaii. He di think it was any of our bustess to inter- fere in Hawaiian a‘fatrs. Oo = FIELDS OF 50,000. ACRES, And Straight Strings of Fence Over Eighty Miles Long. Frm the Chieag> Times. Very few people at a distance, in think- ing of western Texas, understand that nearly the whole of it is at present fenced up in mammoth pasturés, yet such is the case. Many of them are larger than ordi- nary counties, and some cf them embrace large parts of three or four counties. Just west of Belcherville, Tex., come the Silverstein, the Ikeard, and the Worsham pastures. This latter contains 50,000 acres ard has one line of fence twenty-three miles long. Pastures of about this size continue in almost unbroken succession un- til we reach Armstrong county. There we | find what is known as the Goednight ranch, the southern boundary of which is a ttle string of fence eighty-three miles long. | Charley Goodnight, as the owner is famil- | arly knewn, is considered one of the rich- est men in the Pan Handle, but 1 really feel sorry for his boys if he ever sends them out on a hot afternoon to stop hog holes in that Kine of fence. It is hardly likely that this is the case, however, as all fences in that country are built to turn cattle, and without reference to hogs. There is a little railway station called Goodnight, which consists of the Good- night residence and the depot. Mr. Gooi- night lives In almost baronial style. His park contains deer, a drove of elks, and one of the few herds of buffalo in the United States. «Another fair-sized holding of land is that of the Espinella Cattle Company. This contains over 1,500,000 acres, and takes in parts of Dickens, Crosby and Emma counties. If the land were in the form of & square it would be about fifty miles each way. The Matterdere is smaller, but still includes rather more than 1,000,000 acres, ‘These are both owned by syndicates, with neadquarters in London, and they are only two selected at random out of a large number. They have had their bearing on state politics. If it. were not for the rail- | road commissioners, the uniform text book hill, and the alien landholder question, Texas politics would not be worth shuck: ‘The largest of these alien land holding: lelongs to what ts called the Capitol syn- | dicate.

Imagine a slice of land twenty- four miles wide and extending across the | state of Missouri at its northern border. | Such a strip would include the whole northern tier of counties, and would be larger than several states of the Union. This would be about the extent of the Capitol syndicate’s pasture. Few people have any idea that there Is such a thing as a single pasture, In one body and within one fence, larger than some states of the Union, yet such is the fact. More than that, it is owned by a foreign syndicate. It takes in half of Deaf Smith county and parts of several others. Another large pasture is that of the X. I. T. Cattle Company. It begins with the Colorado line and extends several countles back this way.. The Fort Worth and Den- ver railroad runs through it. Some idea of its size may be gathered from the fact that the regular night express train enters on the south side of the pasture at 11:05, end after continuous running leaves it at 2:20 next morning. A pasture which it takes an express train four hours and a quarter to cross would be considered large in some countries Ss - TESTING THE LAW.

The fellow was a bootblack who had given my shoe “a patent leather shine for five cents” daily for several years, when Harlem boasted of goats and rocks, and when the 125th street horse cars were racked to pieces and overcrowded on their half hourly trips. That was back in the seventies. There was nothing of the shiner of shoes in the appearance of the fellow now. “What are you doing here?” again I asked. “Oh, I givva de bail. gotta ‘rested, me getta him out. you do here?” I suppose he thought I was in “trouble” or about to give bail, but of that I quickly disabused his mind. “Well, it isn't every bootblack who can furnish bail for unfortunate friends,” I said, “or have you given up that business?” “Ha! ha!” he laughed, “me no shina shoes for fifteen years.

Rattlkosnake Hunting Has Fascina- en for Sixteen-Year-Old Lulu Wilcox From the New York Sun. Lulu Wilcox, the daughter of Gerard Wil- cox, a farmer living in the hamlet of South Canaan, Litchfield county, Conn., has de- veloped a great liking for rattlesnakes, and her queer freak is a source uf great worry to her parents. ‘The girl’s home ts situated on the road that runs along the foot of the Cebble, a great mass of rock standing by itself, about half a mile square at the base, and with perpendicular sides rising several hundred feet in the air. The Cobble is a dangerous place to climb about, for a mis- step often means a fall that would result in death. That is not the only reason why the place is shunned. Even hunters do not go on the Cobble often. It is well known that rattlesnakes in great numbers are on the mountain, making the craggy fast- nesses their homes. Great stories are told by men of the snakes they have seen on the mountain. Notwithstanding the reputation of the place, Lulu Wilcox, who 1s about sixteen years of age, visits the mountain frequent- ly, and has dene so fer a long time, in search of the deadly rattler. A year ‘ago last summer a large snake wandered down from the mountain ints the yard of her father’s house, and was dispatched by the hired man. The girl secured the rattles, and since that time has been infatuated with the idea of securing a collection of them. For a long time when she went in the mountain in searck of snakes she did not allow her parents to know where she was going, but it ull came out one day when a neighbor saw her coming off the mountain dragging behind her a large stake by means of a small piece of brush. On being questioned she said she had killed the snake to get the rattles for her collec- tion, and that it was not the first time she had gone on the mountain to hunt the rep- tiles. The total number of snakes slaugh- tered since the girl began is about titty. Time and again her parents have punished her for going on the mountain, but the. have not been able to keep n Cobble. ‘p her from the -—se0- A BOOK Panry. With Some Novelties Attached of Sug- westive Value. From the New York Times, At a “book party,” which was a diversion for one set of young persons on an evening of the holiday vacation, in addition to the devices worn to represent a volume, each guest received on entering the room a card bearing the name of some well-known per- son or character in fiction; this was pinned to the back, at the neck or between the shoulders, in such a way that the wearer could not see it, while it was readily appar- ent to all who passed him. From the moment of his decoration, each person began the effort to establish to him- self his identity. In this he was sided or hindered, as the case might be, by his fel- low conversationalists, who founded their talk upon events and comments of interest to the assumed character. Some funny complications were the result, as when Ho- mer and Laura Jean Libbey found them- selves tete-a-tete, each knowing the other, but unable to discover himself and herself. Mrs. Lease and Gladstone had a long talk under confusing conditions, and the i press Eugenie discovered her companion, br. Parkhurst, much sooner than that dis- cerning man identified her. Dora Copperfield and Lé Are and Van Bibber, Shakespeare ond Susan B. Anthony, and Hismarek and Sarah Orne Jewett were some more oddly- assorted couples. The plan proved im- mensely successful as a mirth-provoking one, and the plaintive remark encountered on all sides, “Do help me to find out who 1 was as often met by the answer, s, if you will introduce me to myself.” Some of the book devices were very clever, the first ladies’ prize going to a pretty girl who wore on each arm a brace- let of chestnuts to indicate “Twice Told Tales.” The young collegian who bore away the first prize for his sex did so for the cleverness with which he showed “Kid- napped,” a doll resting on his arm asleep through the evening. “The Quicic and the Dead” was a prize-winner twice, first by a young woman who had gone about with two newspapers, one a copy of the New Yerk Times and the other an issue of a Philadelphia newspaper. A young man who used the same device put it mcre tersely in a card, on which was printed ‘New York and Philadelphia." Another excellent representation was “The Round- about Papers’—bands of ilt paper en- cireling a young woman from the throat to the hem of her dress. A very effective decoration “Cap and Gown" proved, worn gracefully by a tall young student, and sufficiently mystifying. A book not readily guessed was indicated by a card pinned to the bodice of a young girl's dress, cn which was the word “The” by a tiny bell—“The Bible,” (by-bell). To pair off at supper, two packs of Lord Fauntleroy cards were used. These were prepared beforehand, each card having a short loop of ribbon attached. They were ed from separate trays duly arranged among the young girls and youths, respect- ively, their matching settling the question of escort to the supper room. ——_-+e-- Break It Gently.

C. this EDUCATION AND MARRIAGE, The Respect in Which Mental Im- provement May Prove a Failure. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In these days of universal education and literary ladies the question as to what kind of wives the highly educated women of the future are going to make becomes one of both interest and importance, for no matter how profound may be the learning, culture and attainments of the new woman, the man, if he remains constituted as at present, will always nced some one to tend his house and cook his dinner and sew on his buttons. There is no denying that no matter how great may be the development of the new woman, her employment in lite must consist of domestic tasks of one kind or aacther, nor can it be expected that man will take her place in any of the voca- tions which, by common cersent and uni- versal usage, are relegated to her. Educa- tainly no bar to their proper per- the educated weman can do al- most any kind of work better than the un- educated, because she better understands how to adapt ways to means, but aside from this merely mechanical phase of the subject it is interesting to inquire whether the education of ithe educated woman gives her a greater advantege in dealing with the leading question¥ of life, and, to particu- larize one, whethet it enables her with any degree of certginty to choose for her- j self a partner who will contribute to her happiness in a greater degree than is found in the case of her ccmparatively uneducat- ed sister. In other, words, as long as there are women on the earth the leading end and aim of womants life will probably be married, and if her education does ble her tg chlocse a better husband, and after she haS him to retain his respect and affection, then fer education, so far as that matter is coneerned, is a failure. It may be invalueblecin every other respect, but if it fail In that the failure is signal. In considering the subject it should be clearly understopd,that a woman's heart and her head are two separate and distinct institutions, managed on entirely different principles. Nor shonid it be forgotten that it is a pecullarity of the sex to have the most implicit confidence in, the accuracy of the heart. Her head may go astray; she does not mind thet much, for she is used to it, but if there is anything sh® knows better than another it is the fact that she can not possibly be misled by her heart, ‘That is always infallible in its judgments. When it assures her that a man is true and noble and good, all the evidence that her own and all other heads can offer to the contrary will not alter her opinion 23 much as one iota.

Mayor John Bentley of Malou has found it so expensive to friends this past Week that he has been keeping under cover, and all on account of the finest turkey that was raised in Frank- lin county last fall; At least, the men who enjoyed the turkey said it was a fine one, and Mayor Bentley, who was a prejudiced witness, remarks every time the turkey is mentioned: “Weil, that’s ail right. What are you going to tak 5 When politics wes hummi at a lively rate Mayor Bentley 1 on the result with’ one of his democratic friends of the finest turkey that could be purchased, The bet to be paid on New Year day. The mayor received his turkey about a week before New Year and land it safely in the refr market. It was about as big as three or- dinary turkeys and very fat. Mayor Bent- ley spent most of the day on which it ar- rived in leaning over the refrigerator with his ear tabs on adiniring the bird. During the next week he made life a bur- den to Bush, Every time the mayor passed the shop, and that was several times a day, he stopped in to look at his turkey. He or- ganized personally~ conducted excursions from all parts of town to view the bd. sush had to engas extra man to take » of the mayor layor Bentley 1 up all his democratic friends and hustled them around to the meat market to say to them, “f told you so,” and have them view his prize. It was disorganizing the business of the town, when relief came. Isiah Gibson headed a delegation of the mayor's victims on a private excursion to the meat market: With the aid of Bush and some blacking they painted spots all mi over that beautiful turkey. They rubbed into the spots 4 fittle phosphate and flour and laid the bird back on tne ice. Mr. Gib- son happened to meet Mayor Bentley that afternoon, and remarked carelessly: “This is bad weather for turkeys, Jenn. I have just lost two that I had stored in Bush's cooler.” “How did that happen?” asked the mayor anxiously. “They spoiled,’ said Mr. Gibson, “and I fcund them so. covered with mold that 1 couldn't eat them. . Off the mayor ran to investigate his own turkey. Mr. Bush pulled it out of the ice box? and there were the fatal green spots m it. eNaWhat do you think of it, Bush?” the mayor. “Well, 1 suppose there are some people who would eat it, but it never could go on my table.” ‘Nor mine,” sald the mayor. “Send it to some poor and deserving family with my compliments.” Half an hour later the big turkey wae washed and Mr. Gibson took it home. The other members of the delegation dined with him on New Year day. Several nights ago, when Mayor Bentley dropped into the Howard House, they were discussing this excellent turkey. “Where did Gibson get it?” he asked. “From Bush’s market,” was the reply. “The mayor won it on an election bet, and we washed off the mold.” lt cost Mr. Bentley something hefore he made his escape. When he appears in the street now his friends ask him, “How about that turkey nd his only reply is, “What will you have?’ gasped CONGRESSMEN IN TOWN.

SUCH He Got Her Pictures and She Got His, Result—Love Match. From the New York Advertiser. “About a year ago,” sald the photogra- pher, “a young man employed in a railroad office came in and had his picture taken. About the same time a beautiful young woman from an interior town came in »nd had hers taken also; both left the order desiring me to send them to their ad- dresses as soon as finished. In the book my clerk put the inftial of the first name and wrote the surname in full. It hap- pened beth had the same last name. ‘The young man’s name was John H—, and the young woman's name Julia H—. When the pictures were mailed there was a mis- take, the young man getting the young woman's pictures and vice versa. Now, out of this incident quite a love affair has grown, the young people having fallen in love with each other at sight of the pic- tures. They corresponded for several months. Some time ago the young man bought a solitaire diamond ring, and now he has ordered his wedding suit. That is what I call a first-class romance. The best of it all is that the couple are well suited in every respect, and both are of good families. ee Gross Flattery.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS ssp e Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, January 19.—In sympathy with a lower London opening, local traders were disposed to take profits this morning and sell moderately for a turn. The ship- ment of $4,500,000 in gold by today’s steam- ers, and the prospect of a duplication of this efilux next week, had a precautionary » influence on operations for the long ac- count. There was no pressure to sell, however, and the speculative pian has so perceptitly broadened during the last few days that purchases on concessions are now regarded as the least hazardous policy. The affairs of Chicago Gas have attracted unusual attention during the week, d while still somew! involved are quietly adjusting themselves in favor of the new management. An agreement will probably be made with the present officers of the company whereby the real owners of the property, namely, the so-called Standard Oil interests, will be put in control of the preperty. The price of the stock yielded to realizing sales this morning, selling down 11-4 per tent from initial figures. This set back ts directly due to traders selling for a quick turn on purchases made during the progress of yesterday's covering” movement. With the advent of the new controlling power a non-speculative and a conservative policy best adapted to the de- velopment of the intrinsic value of the property is promised. Sugar sold off fractionally on only @ moderate volume of business. Purchases at the decline were said to have been made in anticipation of the supreme court de- cision oa Monday next. ‘The question involved is one aimed direct- ly at the legality of the company’s exist- ence, and the sustaining of the decision of the lower court will be a decided tri- | umph for the sugar interests. Persons well informed on the merits of the case predict such a vindication for the trust as will effectually dispose of a: least one subject of much annoying litigation. Con- sidering the legislative standing of this company no remarkable rise wo.ld be justified by this legal victory. The House bill abolishing the one-tenth differential on imported sugars will attract consider- able attention during the coming we=k. The banks have gained $5,300,000 in law- ful money during the week, of which near- ly one-half is in lightweight coin withdrawn from the subtreasury by shippers of gold. ‘The increase in deposits is nearly $1,000,- 000 in excess of the amount called for by the changes in other items. The surplus now ageregates $45,590,000. ‘The statement in_ detail follows: Reserve increased, $3,672,875; loans increased, $640. 300; specie increased, $2,442,600; lezals in- creased, $2,955,300; deposits increased, $6,- 000,109, and circulation decreased, $14,400. ae ee FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest and the closing prices cf the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange.
