MAIL STEAMER DID NOT STOP AT HONOLULU MoanaCame Through From Samoa. PLAGUE" SCARE CONTINUES R The Australian mail steamer arrived in port unexpectedly morning. She was not looked for until | to-day, but owing to the plague she | came on without entering the harbor at Honolulu, bringing the passengers for Moana yesterday | When the Moana arrived off Honolulu ficer, a pilot and the agent of the ship went out to her in a tug. The quaran- tine doctor reported that there had been een deaths in all. He asked Captain| Francisco. The captain decided to come on for this port. The Hawailan officials | did not leave their tug, no mail nor | papers were put aboard, so there is no | means of learning what is being done in | the islands. | The Hawallan quarantine officer told | Purser Hodson of the Moana that every precaution was being taken. Houses in which anybody had died were burned down; sewers were being cleaned; all parts of Chinatown were being disin- fected and everything being done that ingenuity could suggest to stop the spread of the disease. The cabin passengers for Honolulu who were brought up on the Moana were Mrs. Reynolds. Besides these there were five steerage passengers who were returning to_the paradise of the Pacific The full list of cabin passengers on the mail boat is: From Sydney, N. S.

The Tellus is now under the bunkers, and yesterday there were more than 150 coal wagons in line walting to get a load out of her. A sporting gentleman by the name of | Dunn created a scene yesterday on Broad- way wharf. He left his wife aboard the steamer Umatilla, saying he would be back in a few minutes. Just as the gang plank was being taken in Mrs. Dunn rushed ashore, saying her husband had desertéd her, She then fainted away in the arms of her mother, who was waliting to see her away. A few minutes after the Umatilla got away from the wharf Dunn appeared and was upbraided by his moth-~ er-in-law. Later the entire party went up- town on a Hayes street car. The big tramp steamer Algoa moves to the seawall to-day. Yesterday between the hours of 12 and 1 she was so crowded with visitors that three policemen had to be called in to assist the crew in clearing the ship. JACOBS DEFENDS PETITION. Declares It Does Not Commit Fruit Canners to Support of Recip- rocity Treaties. Isidor Jacobs, who has obtained the sig- natures of all the fruit canners and deal- ers in frult in San Francisco to a petition ing Commissioner Kasson to consider ifornia in negotiating reciprocity treaties in the future, denies emphatically that the petition practically sanctions re. ciprocity. 1t merely asks, he says, that the interests of California be taken into consideration in the event that other re- ciproecity treaties should be negotiated. If | no more such treaties are negollnted}lusys Mr. Jacobs, the petition can do no harm, while if they should be projected the rep- | resentations made by the fruit canners of | the State might be favorably considered. —_————— WILL SUCCEED DR.

TR Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11:-The routing imbroglio between the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe has brought to the sur- face the fact that a pooling arrangement exists between those lines on a basis that each line obtains 30 per cent of the freight earned for transportation. Local shippers insist that they have seen the official documents. The failure of the roads to preet the local commercial organizations in conference and adjust differences will result in bringing this pool_arrangement before the Interstate Commerce Commis- sloners, who will hold a session in Los Angeles in a few weeks. Lawyers are working on the case and the evidence is overwhelmingly against the roads. In extenuation for the position taken by the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific in the matter of routing the roads declare they are not responsible for the new rule whicn went Into effect January 1.

A Detachment of Thirty Lost on the Way Out Here—Knotty Prob- lem for the Quartermaster. The Tartar sailed yesterday morning after waiting over night for some men of the hospital corps on their way from the East. They were regularly lost. Nothing was heard of them on this side of the continent after they left New York, and when the sailing time of the Tartar came they were anywhere between here and the Atlantic Ocean. Colonel Forwood, chief medical officer of this department, had been trying for | some days to obtain definite information | of the men's whereabouts. He finally en- listed the services of the railroad com- pany. Wednesday evening the railroad officials located the men somewhere this side of Ogden and they arrived at_the Oakland mole Thursday night. They came over on the first boat yesterday morning and before noon were all aboard the_transport and she was on her way to Manila. There were thirty privates and a steward In the party. hey were in two wrecks on the way out, {ul no one was injured, and beyond that the trip ‘was uneventful.

Copyright, 1900, by Seymour Eaton. GREAT AMERICAN STATESMEN. Contributors to this course: Laughlin and others. XIIIL—JOHEN CALDWELL CAL- HOUN. Calhoun dominated South Carolina as no other man has ever dominated one cf Quite fitly his Madison square in Cemetery is one of the first sights shown to strangers. The impress of his strong, masterful personality was stamped thor- oughly on the thought of the Palmetto State. The people drank deeply from the fountains of his political philosophy and are intellectual followers of Calhoun un- til this day. It was a deserved reward. No man ever lived more thoroughly for a State than did Calhoun. He was a lover of the nation, but far more of South Car- olina. For her profit and honor he la- bored and struggled, and her good was al- ways before his eyes. Calhoun's political life may be divided into parts in which he shows himself, respectively, a nationail- ist, a nullifier and one who despaired of the Union. When he entered Congress he enrolled himself in that enthusiastic and ardent group of men known as the young Republicans, who drove on a re- luctant administration into a war wita Great Britain for the nation’s honor, and who stood for a protective tariff, a United States bank and a strong government. After Jackson's election as President we find Calhoun appearing as the archpriest of an anti-national doctrine, that of nul- J. C. CALHOUN lification. He then clalmed a protective tariff was unconstitutional and asserted the right of each State to lay, as it were, @ preliminary injunction on the enforce- ment of any law it feels to be contrary to the Federal compact. After the Mexi- can war came the closing days of the statesman, when he despaired of his country. To him was coming the force of the saying that a house divided against itself cannot stand, and he foresaw that the Union could not endure haif-slave and half-free. Yet he loved the Union, and the man whose logical political philoso- phy had taught the South how to secede wrote his last speech, which his strength would ‘not permit him to read, on the theme, “How Can the Union Be Pre- served?” His only solution was that the North must agree “to do justice by con- ceding to the South an equal right in the conquered territory, and to do her duty by causing the stipulations relative to fugitive slaves to be faithfuly fuilfilled, to. cease the agitation of the slave question and provide for the insertion of a provi- sion in the constitution by an amendment which will restore in substance the power she was possessed of protecting herself before the equilibrium between the sec- tions was destroyed by the action of this Government.” He feels that the case is hopeless, and he states that he s strug- gling to save ‘“‘the Union, if it can be done, and, If it cannot, to save the section where it has pleased Providence to cast my lot, and which I sincerely believe has justice and the constitution on its side. Having faithfully done my duty to the best of my ablility * * * I shall have the consolation, let what will come, that 1 am free from all responsibility,” and with those helpless words on his lips John C. Calhoun left the political arena and went to his deathbed. He was striving for a cause that was already on the way to be a lost one. Of incorruptible integrity, of wonder- ful powers of ar ent, of sincere de- votion to Christianity, of marvelous sin- leness of purpose and power of influenc- f men, Calhoun stands out as one of the mot noteworthy characters in American history. He w: born of Scotch-Irish parents in Western South Carolina in 1982 and died at Washington in 1850, while serving as one of the United States Senators from his native State. Curiously enough, his whole academic training” was In Connecticut, from the straitest sect of the Federalists. He took his bachelor's degree from Yale College in 1804, when the elder Dwight was president, and at a time when one of the professors had recently been obliged to sever his connection with the ln-tfieuuon largely because he was a Re- publican. The subject of his sommence- ment oration was ‘“The Qualification Nec- essary to Constitute a Perfect States man,” and his purpose for life work led him to the law, that great avenue to pol- itics In the United States. He studied at the famous Litchfleld Law School under Judges Reeve and Gould, and then re- turned to his home in Abbeville District and began to practice his profession. His politie: bilitles were soon vered, and he was chosen a member of the State Legislature. There he achieved promi- nence and was soon transferred to the national councils, beln;“‘elected to Con- gress in the year 1810. bably there has never been a case when an unknown young man leaped at a bound into na- tional prominence as did Calhoun. His first appearance in Congress was in No- 'vember, . Struck with his abilities, Clay, the Speaker, placed him second on the Committee on ¥oreign Affairs. For- e “'rf" ot :ruel on :v‘ildr .m.mm‘om long series of ou lrox'n Great Britain and France could no longer be borne. We must have redress by peaceable or forcible means.

Me- ent. * * * The period has arrived when ¢ ¢ ¢ it Is the sacred duty of Congresd to call forth the patriotism and the re- sources of the ;g In his first speech, uttered ¥_a month after his first appearance in Washington, Calhoun, with clear and forcible phras £ this report. He openly avowes committee recommended the now before the House for war,’ th tional honor and the safety of the efti Zens' lives and property demanded the use of force. The efforts of Clay, Calhoun and the other young Republicans forced a declaration of war, and Calhoun was one of the main supporters of the war in Congress. He differed from the majority, however, in favoring the repeal of all the restrictive acts of non-importation and embargo. He felt that “‘we are a peopia essentially active. * * * No passive sys- tem can suit such a people, in action supe- rior to all others, in patient endurance ine ferior to none. Nor does it suit the genius of our Government. Our Government ig founded on freedom and hates coercion. '0 make the restrictive system effective requries the most arbitrary laws.” After the war we find Calhoun, now rec ognized as a leader in the House, defend- ing the treaty-making power from as- saults by other Republicans and Introduc- ing measures for the establishment of a United States bank. He did not discuss the constitutional question, but, accept- ing the valldity of the power to charter a bank as an established fact, he made an exhaustive argument to the point that such a “bank wouid be favorable to the administration of the finances of the Gov- ernment.” With other such sentiments he closed his career in the House of hepresenta- tives and_ became Monroe’'s Secretary of War in 1817. He found the admin- istration of that de- ar tment chaotie. Te reduced its methods and ae- counts to due order and effected consid- erable saving of the public money. Men now began to speak of Calhoun as a candidate for _the Presidency, but find- ing himself. out- classed by other candidates the election of 1824, when persons, not principles, were is- sues, he announced himself as candidate for the Vice Presi- dency and was eas- ily elected to that position. There he acquitted himself with ability. In one case he refused to leave his seat when a tie vote was ex- pected on a .ques- tion whose decision might cost him some supporters. He had been elected by supporters of both Adams and Jack- son, and yet, during the administration of the former, ha felt himself draw- irg constantly away from the President and from such old associates as Clay and coming mors and more to & strict constructi on of the constitution. So in the election of in 1828 we find him on the Jacksonian ticket and note that he was _re« elected by a great majority as Vice President. Doubtless he hoped to be Jackson's political heir; doubtless he was the natural leader of the new Democratio party after Jackson, and doubtless per- sonal matters, such as the unreasonable grudge which Jackson bore to the man who supported a just censure on some of Jackson’s early acts and who would not receive Jackson's friends as his, were potent causes in destroying his hope of aving Jackson's assistance, which aid was transferred to Van Buren. But that | such considerations, and the fact that he found that popularity in South Carolina would follow most easily an anti-national attitude were the chief motives of Cal- houn's new sition, cannot be belleved. That these influences were not without their effect is undoubted, but the change in front of so keen and conscientious a thinker as Calhoun cannot be explained by such influences alone. In the twelve or fifteen years since he had left Con- gress he had undergone one of those sub- tle and gradual changes of feeling which often lead men to conclusions diametri- cally opposite to those with which they began. That his two positions were in- consistent may be granted easily, but in- consistency is often another name for growth. ‘he maintenance of slavery and of the plantation system of his State be- came so Important in his eyes that all else sank into a secondary place, and un- conaciously to himself his point of view had changed from a national to a sec- tional one. Calhoun admitted that a State had no right to oppose the execution of an admit- tedly constitutional law, but the State was the judge as to whether she would admit the constitutionality of the law. If the law was of doubtful constitutionality or clearly unconstitutional—and the test in both cases lay in the hands of the State ~—it might be declared null and void by the State as far as it was concerned, and thenceforth should not be enforced In its limits. There was no secession, the State was exercising a reserved power, it still remained in the Union, and if three- fourths of the States gshould decide against fts position when al was made to them by Congress the State m: yleld to the volce of its sisters and the disputed power now became an undisputed part of the constitution. We ve left ourselves no time to_tell how Calhoun resigned the position of Vice President and accepted that of United States Senator to defend South Carolina’s gosmon in nullifying the tariff act, or how v speeches, addresses from his home at Fort Hill and letters to Governor Hamil- ton he confirmed the wills of the people. It is true Clay's compromise tariff and Jackson's firm attitude in favor of the Ervsrrvldon of the Union deferred a coh- ict for thirty years and that Calhoun and his State gradually came back into national polities as extremé members of the State’s rights and pro-slavery wing of the Democratic party. His long service in the Senate enabled him to take a bold and decided stand against the United States Bank and favor of the sub-treasury bill, and to make vigorous contention for the annexation of Texas and the addition of the new slave Territory. In the Texas matter his influence was also exerted in the Tyler Cabinet, where he held the office of Secretary of State for a time. Going back to the Senate he fought any further compromise. Then came the end. His work was built on the sand of State's rights and slavery, and fell in the great storm of the Civil War. He has left be- hind him the name of the ‘keenest politi- cal logiclan the United States has ever had,” and of the “greatest and purest of ro-slavery fanatics,” as an unfriendly teibuts. siven by one of the Sbi ute, given one of the ablest of the historians of his own section is: “I at least cannot call him a thoroughly wise and great statesman, but I can admire his strong, subtle intellect and lofty in- tegrity and soundness of heart. Mistaken he was often, but he never did anything fo:s_gouly that he thought was wrong or ow. Johns Hopkins University: e Posing for the Artists.
