Governor Lowndes of Maryland, in his address at the dedication of the monument to the army correspondents, at Gapland, on October 16, 18%, began his remarks by saying that thirty-five years ago on that day Johr Bfown began his raid and seized the arsenal Ferry. and munitions at Harper's The two subjects had little connec- | r be of any fossible interest.

A Quiet Country Village. Harper's Ferry now is not much more of a place than it was thirty-five years ago. It. has a picturesque location, but upon closer" inspection presents the squalid features of a little country village. Narrow littie streets run a shert distance only in any direction, for the irregular topography of the country makes it impossible to con- tinue long in a straight line. In the town itself there is very little to attract at- tention. One looks at the queer little houses perched upon the sides of the hills and wonders how people can live in them. The old weather-beaten and primitive churches, which seem to have wandered off by themselves to find a level spot to rest upon, attract attention for a moment, especially as they are reached by steps chiseled o the stone side of the mountain and wen so smooth by time an@ the tread of many feet that they look Hke the work of nature and do not suggest ever having felt pick or drill. Turnirg the base of the mountain and cverlooking the Shenandoah is another his- toric spot. This is “Jefferson’s Rock.” It is a huge slab of granite resting upon ural pillars, which in turn rest upon the LOOKING DOWN THE POTOMAC. tion, save in the fact that the celebratea ! raid was one of the many circumitances which led up to the great strife which the correspondents so ably depicted. Harper's became an important point during but it is now little more than a By rock of the mountain side. The slab was found at this place and raised upon the pillars. The great Virginian once visited this place and from the rock which now bears his name made a famous address.

Across the Shenandoah the mountain is covered with a thick growth of trees, beautiful in their autumn tints, a myriad of colors which the painter's art has not fully mastered. Huge rocks of gorgeous and fantastic shapes, gnarled and stunted trees and thick undergrowth contribute to the picturesque and impressive scene. The Theater of War. One can scarce imagine that here was the theater of war; that up this peaceful val- ley Sheridan swept, making a name long to be remembered. Nor is it possible to picture the little town the center and camping ground of a mighty army, its streets bristling with bayonets and its Old St. Matthew's Church. colored porter, who cal all in a breath, like a brakemar. announcing stations: “Harper's Ferry—John Brown's fort gone to Chicago.” ‘And the train stops at the quaint old piace of many memories. The porter was right at one time, but now the fort has been brought back, only instead of being placed upon the old'site it has been rebuilt on a farm several miles away. A simple granite shaft marks the spot where it gnce stood, and the porter points this out ,with the weary uir of a man who has told‘the story many times. John Brown's Last Stand. Fer years nearly every passenger on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has craned his or her neck out the window, or endan- gered life and limb by standing on the platform, in order to see the old brick en- gine house where John Brown made his last stand. Many have forgotten or never heard that the vandals have entered Har- per’s Ferry and desecrated it; so the por- ter, to save himself trouble, anticipates the inevitable inquiries by announcing as he wends his way through the car: “Harper's Ferry—John Brown's fort gone to Chicago. . “What an idiotic thing to do!” you ex- elaim, and every one on the train quite agrees with you. It never should have been moved away, and when brought back it ought to have been rebuilt upon the spot where it was made historic, the only place where it could buildings the arsenals. for the munitions of war. Still more difficult is it to realize that the mountain across the Potomac river was the fortress of armed men who guarded the passes to the north, who signaled far and wide the messages of generals, and from whose heights orders were given which swayed the destiny of a great nation. And yet ‘twas so. Not far from Harper's Ferry the momentous battle of Antietam was fought. These mountains and the troops that guarded the gaps and passes were the bulwark which prevented the troops of the confederacy from entering the more level country and surrounding. the national capital. The strife for the pos- session of these gateways was intense and they were defended with such heroic valor as to make the story of Thermopylae insig~ nificant in comparison. . Harper's Ferry will never be a place of any interest in the busy world of commerce but its historic past cannot be taken away or minimized. It is not marked with monu. ments and shafts like the battlefields of Gettysburg and Chickamauga, but its as- sociation with Old John Brown has riven it a value that time can never efface. ‘Add. ed to this, its picturesque position and eur. roundings give it a charm appreciated by every visitor. ——>__ A French Market and Luncheon.

FOES TO “BE ALLIES Rumors That China and Japan Reach an, Agreement. 10 PROMOTE ASIATIC DOMINATION Immediate Necéssity for the An- nexation’ of Hawaii. DUBOIS AND PETTIGREW a Special Correapondence of The Evening Star. HONCLULU, November 19, 1897. There {s a constant increase of indications ef the urgent necessity for the United States to become promptly established, as strongly as possible, in strategical control of the northeastern. Pacific, especially as against the competing forces of the great powers of the orlent. The latest intima- tion is that of a probably early alliance be- tween Japan and China, combining to re- sist European aggression and to promote exclusive Asiatic domination in the western Pacific. It is learned that a great banquet was recently given in Tokyo to a number of leading representatives of the Chinese people, for the purpose of leading to the establishment of cordial relations between the two peoples, so lately at war. Japan needs a powerful ally in order to make ef- fective stand against the aggression of Russia, now so threatening. The only such ally possible is Ch who has equ tive to resist Russia, if she can be ened to the nece A combination of the two empires for that purpose and for the general repression of occidental ag- gression in the orient is to be expected as the next thing on the political program. Slumber of Ages Broken. It appears moreover that the necessary awakening ts actually begun in Chi which kas seemed to persist in political slumber, and to have learned nothing from her ignominious defeat by Japan, armed with modern science and discipline. By missionaries in transit through Honolulu on the Pacific steamers information is given which they regard as of the greatest significance and importance. In one of the chief pericdical literary examinations con- ducted by ihe government, an extraordin- ary innovation lately took place. A promi- nt place was given to the production of essays upon social and political topics re- lating to the introduction into China of European methods in science and art. This is wholly a new departure, plainly indicat- ing that the Chinese government have, in some degree at least, at last awakened to the necessity of doing what Japan has done and adopting the improvements of modern civilization. The slumber of ages appears to have been broken. It is further understood through Ja; the Chin government contempl building and equiping their own railr with Chinese funds and Chinese arti as far as practicable, without employing European aid. It had been planned to commit to Rusisa much of this work, but now that idea is undcrstood to be aban- doned, at the same time that prosecution of rail extension throughout the em- ire i ant to be vigorously pushed. Such sion is a necessit order to link provinces of the empire together and under control of the central Without such railway con- nection the enormous forces the vast empire lie mainly para! can be wielded as a mos A few thousand miles of railway will revo- lutionize the «military strength of Chin: pot less than its material ard commercial resources. Present indications are that thcse railways are to be le. Chinese and Japanese Compared. China even now will naturally be slower than Japan has been in changing to mod- ern military and commercial methods, but even a partial change will make her for- midable, and the Chinese character is one of much greater capability than the Japan- ese, when once turned into the right direc- tion. Our experience ‘n Hawaii with the pecple of the two nationalities is muc in favor of the higher capacity of the Chi- nese in most departments. They ure less receptive than the Japanese, less hospita ble to new ideas, less versatile, but th mvch exceed the latter in both physical and mental strength. Especially do they surpass them in that diness and sure- ness of patient labor, which best guaran- tees success. The Chinaman like a rut, but he runs steadily and swiftly in ris grocve, and becomes very productive in it. The Japanese like change and novelty, to the detriment of his work. His Mongolian biced has too large a mixture of a weak Malayo-Polynesian clement, which ancient- ly worked up to Japan by way of the Phil- ippines and Formosa. The Chinese are more pure Mongoloii, and a much stronger race, though less versatile. The Struggle With the Orient. In dealing with these Mongoloid peoples it is to be borne in mind that in them our European civilization is not encountering the feeble tribes of India ard the tropics. We have to grapple with tough and virile races, who, like Europeans, have for ages been knit and hardened by the stress of cold and the stern necessity of providing against winter. Especially has the latent Gower of the Chinaman lain dormant. He has been wrapped in a torpid slumber, but is about to awaken. Incited, as he is likely to be, by such an enterprising ally as Japan, he will become a most formidable antegonist and competitcr for the control of this magnificent Pacific ocean. It 1s the plainest necessity for the United States to make no delay in securing to themselves this side of the ocean, by taking a firm possession of Hawali, its great strategic center. Were Japan standing alone, she might be dealt with by America.” But Japan with the enormous forces of an awakened China behind her will be 200 powerful to be withstood, unless the van- tage grourd of Hawaii is decisively and seasonably cccupied. The coming great Mongolian navies, in possession of Hawaii, would hold your Pacific coasts at their mercy, and ho:d all the commerce of this ccean in vassalage.. Americans cannot too svon awake tu the emergency. Arrival of Kaiulant. The royalist mind, of late much discour- aged and torpd, has just received some- thing of an awakening fillip by the arrival of a visible and not altogether unattrac- tive object for its loyal homage. The very graceful and pretty princess, Kaiulani Cleghorn, safely landed last week from her eight years’ sojourn in England and Eu- rope, accompanied by her father, and pre- ceced by her deeply interested ‘guardian, Theophilus H.:iDavies. Her landing was attended by no:more: demonstration among the natives than would be spontaneous. Several hundred, perhaps a thousand, of them appeared:on the wharf to welcome the young lady. Especially there was a ecmpany of her old family retainers, who, as the ship dréw alongside, loudly raised the pathetic chants’ celebrating the high birth and old family distinctions of their lady. Since landing she has received large companies of the natives at her home in Waikiki, four miles from town. Now she is moving up to the ex-queen’s at Wash- ington place, to give better opportunity for the people to see her. The other evening she attended a great wheel race, when the assemblage rose to honor her coming and leaving. If there were the slightest chance for re- storing the abandoned monarchy in Hawaii undoubtedly it would be in the person of }Kaiulani, and the game would be entirely in her hands. Mrs. Dominis has made too many bitter enemies among all classes, and shown herself too wholly unreliable, ever to gather confidence to herself in any com- bination of events. The representatives of the republic have not the slightest appre- hension of the princess accomplishing any- thing, even if she had it in mind to rebuild the fallen throne for herself. The mon- archy has been entirely outgrown by this country—it is an out-of-date institution. No people of leading character or influ- erce have the remotest desire for its re- turn. It would be invidious to impute to the princess any intention of seeking it fou herself. Yet it would not be in human nature to have no desire in that direction. It can hardly be doubted that such wish takes definite shape in the minds at least of Mr. that partly ese influence and example ed the bring them gcvernment. ot With it, they formidable fore Cleghorn and Mr. Davies; not that> they stand ready to avail themselves of any prontising concurrence of events for furth- ering such with. Of course, it would be an extremely satisfactory and comfortable thing to Papa Cleghorn for his daughter to become Queen of Hawaii; and to Guar- dian Davies it would mean an immediate exaltation, either to become premier here, or, more likely, to become minister to Eng- land, with the coveted but hitherto impos- sible entree to the circles of nobility in his native couniry. It cannot be injustice to these two gentlemen to surmise that they hope for the rejection of annexation, and in the resulting confusion and disappoint- ment to be able to arrange for some re- construction of the government upon a monarchical basis. They do not mean to miss such a possible opportunity. But in any case, there would be no such discour- agement and no such opportunity as they are hoping for. The republic is highly or- ganized and working harmoniously. It is prospering in all its departments beyond any former experience of government in Hawail. It would move forward quietly and undisturbed. The only doubtful ad- verse element in view would be in such in- crease of Japanese population as to stimu- late their uprising to selze the government. Such an event, though far from improb- able, could not be favorable to the Cleghorn views. Even if the Japanese put an Ha- wailan on the throne, she would have to be a puppet in their hands. The Delegation of Natives. Uncertain progress seems made by the natives in dispatching their delegation to Washington. Lack of funds seems to stand in the way, as well as want of unanimity as to the person. Some noisy meetings have been held on the island of Maul, and a separate delegation nominated. The sum of $205 was raised for expenses. That whole affair has the aspect of a childish ‘‘make-believe.” The Oahu bination may yet get their men off. Mr. Kaulia, who heads the proposed delegation, is a reputable native lawyer, who does some business for natives in the lower courts, but would not be put in charge of any important or difficult case. com- It has been generally considered very doubtful whether any delegation gets started. They ought to proceed by this mail in order to be in time for the open- ing of Congress. It is learned that certain wealthy white men from whom_ these natives hoped to get pecuniary aid have given nothing, being displeased that no competent ‘white man is appointed to take charge of the party. It remains to be seen how well they will manage to make their way to Washington with their total inex- perience of traveling outside of Hawaii. One cannot but be anxious for their health, exposed as they will be to the untried severities of winter. Messrs. Pettigrew and Dubois. By this mail will return home Senator Pettigrew and ex-Senator Dubois, who stopped over for ten days on their return from Japan. They have taken nearly the same round as our four congressional visit- ors two months ago, visiting Pearl Harbor and the voleano, with the Olao coffee dis- trict. These gentlemen have been well known as opponents of the annexation of Hawaii. The senator has shown reticence in the expression of opinion on the subjec:, but has variously given pretty clear indi- cations to which side he leans. Mr. Dubois was very outspoken in a meeting with na- tives at Hilo two days ago, according to a reliable report of the same. He claimed that Senator Pettigrew “will be your great champion in this fight.” Mr. Pettigrew himself used the following languag I had supposed when I came that many of your people were in favor of annexation, because it had been so represented, but 1 have talked with every one who would talk with me, and I have failed to find a native Hawaiian who was not opposed to annex- ation to the United States and in favor of your own governmen Such a statement by the s less to be repeated in substance ate, demands notice. It can on sulted from very imperfect and limited in- tercourse with natives. Mr. Pettig ignorant that the bright and vhite pastor who interpreted for tionist. To name a n. instance nuel Parker, a wealthy 1 of old family, who was Liliuokalani’s pre- mier when she was dethroned, become a strong annexationist, and represents a large body cf the na s. Mr. Parker is man and Hawaiian, ys t manner into their a high-minded and publi a thoroughly patriotic entering in the heart jealousy of foreigners’ rule. But he has become entirely convinced that the political well being of the natives as well their clal interests can be secured only under e flag of the Union and its protection. This correspondence has never stated that a majority of the native Hawaiians were other t opposed to annexation. They have n too diligently warned against it by Britishers. But I am personally ac- quainted with large numbers of the most intelligent and capable natives who desire annexation as the only reliable safe-guai of their people. If Senator Pettigrew had desired 40 meet such men he could have found them in any number. At the same meeting Mr, Dubois is re- ported to have spoken of “robbing a kind and gentle and humane people of their land,” and “taking away the land from these people against their will.” Also, “This is your land ; it belongs to you * * * you are responsible to God and yours for the way in which you take care of them.” As I have repeatedly urged, the common natives, who fifty years ago owned no land, have generally become land-owners, and, under the republic, have greatly increased their number of owners of real estate. No one proposes to take their lands away, nor to take their country from them. Hawai under annexation, will still belong to the Hawaiians as much as ever. The only change will be to come under the suzerainty of America. And this will confer upon the native Hawaiian a firm and solid protection in his rights, which, under independence, will always be in jeopardy from oppression by stronger foreign residents. ‘Away, then, with all this wretched and misleading nonsense about robbing Ha- wailans of their land and their country. It is as puerile as it is mischievous. KAMEHAMEHA. —_—_-___ COLLEGE NEGRO ORATOR. Butler Students Object to the Colored Student Representing Them. A dispatch ‘from Indianapolis says: Butler University, situated at the suburb of Irv- ington, will send a colored student as its representative to the annual contest in oratory which meets here in January, and which embraces representatives from all the educational institutions of the state. This will be the first time that a colored man has ever appeared in Indiana to con- test for state honors in oratory. The successful contestant at the prelimi- nary contest at the Irvington institution, who won over three opponents, was Ezra Roberts, a young colored man from Koko- mo, who is now a member of the senior class. He has appeared in three contests before at the university, and in each stood up to the head, being second at one time. He has been one of the mosi painstaking students in the institution, and popular with his classmates, but the winning of the honor of orator aroused much feeling among the white students. There was talk of formally protesting against his appearance in the state con- test. Those who object to him say that the sending of a colored man as the uni+ versity representative in the state contest will have the effect of destroying the in- stitution’s standing in that body, and every sutsequent representative in such a con- test will suffer in consequence. As Rob- erts won by the unanimous verdict of the jvdges, he will represent the university. ————-o-______ Schofield Garrison. At a regular meeting of Gen. J. M. Scho- field Garrison, No. 1, R.
