LONDON, February 20th,
A young farmer in Van Buren, Miss., named Mitchell, advertised for a wife last summer and among others got a note from a little gid in Sussex, named Miss Gold. A correspondence followed, photographs were exchanged and evry. | thing was mutually satisficcty. Miss Gold sailed for America last November to wed her admirer. She took passage on the W: A. Scholfen, which, it will be rahlembered, was lost off the coast of Dover. Miss Gold got particular newspaper prominenc because of ber great bravery and fortitude as the vessel was sinking. The immigrants on the vessel were inestly Dutch," and Miss Gold begged the few English people on board to join bands and die together.". Mies Gold was among the few rescued and taken back home to Winchelsea, Sussex. She would not risk the terrors of a second voyage, so Mitchell · had to come over to marry her. He arrived a few weeks ago and the notice of his marriage to Miss Gold was published in the London papers today.

It is open for competition by all foreign steam yachts, on conditions somewhat similar to those provided for the America's cup races, and is to be, as that trophy was befute the recent conditions were imposed, a perpetual international cold in steam representing the supremacy of the world in steam yachting, "The reason we have bad to wait so long for a challenge,” said a prominent member of the American Club, "is simply that there was no foreign steam yacht that would have a ghost of a chance against Mr. Gould's Atlanta." Mr. Watson, builder of the Gutier Thistle, says that Sir William. Pearce is now building a yacht at Fairfield that is likely to be a dangerous com- clitor. Pearce is the head of the ship-building firni of Elder & Co. Many members of the New York Club are disgusted at the apathy of their organization as compared with the American, Atlantic and others,
AZLECTURE ON HAWAII,
Pioneer-Hall, in San Francisco, was crowded to its utmost capacity on the evening of Feb. 16th, with the usual attendants upon the course of fick lectures, the fourth of which was delivered by Dr. George L. Fitch. On this occasion the subject treated was "Hawaii, its volcances, its manners and customs," The speaker's remarks were based on personal knowledge of his subject, he having resided in that country for many years in the Government service,
commerce; and, second, the tendency on the part of wages in similar employments to come down to the same level with the increase in the facilities of transportation. When legislators attempt to keep the precious metals in this country and have the balance of trade in their favor, they are contending against economic force No. 1. When labor organizations strive to they are butting their heads against economic maintain an abnormally high standard of wages,
force No. 7.
"It becomes evident,, therefore, that when Senator Mitchell and others undertake to prevent
the drain of goid through the China trade by cutting off all commercial intercourse with China (for that is what the bill amounts to), and when they propose to preserve de placer mining standard of wages on the Pacific coast by prohibiting Chinese immigration, they have made a bigger contract than they can carry nut, Or to use an elegant western phrage, they've bit off more than they can chew,
"Now this country wants everything for itself, but is not willing to give anything in return. It, wants Chinese Tabor, but would not yield it protection; wants tea and silk, but begrudges the gold and silver which the Chinese ask for payment, wants China to admit merchants, travellers and laborers, but refuses to reciprocate. What will be the consequences? The Chinese government will be compelled to adapt retaliatory measures. If so, it will be a matter for universal regret, for it would mean retrogression. No one would rejoice any more than England, long since jealous of the growth of American influence and American trade in the orient, None would regret it more than China, for her feelings toward the flowery flag country' are those of friendliness, unalloyed by fear of aegression, and of respect, because the United States has not stained its hands in the opium trade.

side. BERLIN, February 20th. Count Schouvaloff, the Russian Embassador, in an interview with Count Herbert Bismarck, suggested that the Powers unite in advising the Porte, as Suzerain of Bulgaria, to declare Pince Ferdinand's exerce of power illegal. It is reported that Bismarck advised Count Kalnoký to assent to the suggestion, on-Russin's-pletige that the declaration shall be accompanied by no coercive measures.
CONSTANTINOPLE, February 20th, oumania has notified the Porte that Austria has given an assurance that Russian violation of Roumanian territory wil be considered a casus belli.
-Paris, February 21-1. Eight members of the French Chamber of Deputies, who called a meeting at the Palace Bourbon of all the Repubilean Deputies to listen to a statement of delegates representing the Panama Canal question, at the last moment were refused the use of the legislative palice for the niceting. The matter will be brought up in the Chamber of Deputies.
Several journals fear list aGoverninent crisis will ensue should the Cabinet insist upon, the Chamber of Deputies voting some money on account of the secret service, and declare that they will make the vote a question of confidence, The Cabinet has decided not even to consent o a reduction of the secret service estimates.
The Radicals and Socialists of St. Etienne have decided to run General Boulanger for the Chamber of Deputies, notwithstanding the fet that he is incligible.
It is reported that the German Embassader at Beine iccently furnished the Bundesrath with proof that France, in the event of war, had planned to cross the frontier at Basle, and, futhéz, stated that Germany was ready to sign the treaty to protect the neutrality of Switzer law. The Bundesrath, he said, replied that that body, hearing of French plans, had taken the precaution of creating a landslurm to occupy the whole line of the Jura from horcourt to Faucille and Montsance, on the French frontier, aud could only accept German aid in the event of a real violation of Swiss neutrality.
CHICAGO, February 17th. The-police-are-at-last-positive that they are on the track of the murderer of millionaire A. }, Spell, and the developments given out are of the most startling character, Chief of Police Hubbard to-night issued the following circular:
* Two Thousand Dollars Reward —–—– Look out for and ariest A. J. Snell's alleged murderer, William B. Tascott alias Gathright alias Moore Scott alias Clark, 22 or 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 er 9 inches high; 165 pounds in weight, slim -built, very erect, full-round-face, heavy-eyebrows--langer-for-every vacancy:
very fair complexion, dark brown hair, thin on top of the head, cut short; large blue eyes, small, thin, dark mustache, may be dyed; wore when last seen brown and gray striped pants, stripe ane-half inch wide, dark coat, vest and overcoat, black silk hat, square top ring set with garnets and pearls, one pearl missing... He may carry a cane with a round head engraved with "W. B. T." in monogram; also a russet-colored oval valise, eighteen inches long and eight inches deep, hung by a strap over his shoulder, The above reward will be paid for his capture and detention until officers arrive."
At the trial of M. Wilson the Public Proseculor declared that Wilson's conduct had been down. right venal and should : be stignalized as it deserved, especially when his position was considered, and that the immoral traffic in which he had been engaged had been cajied into the Palace of the Elysee,
The startling features of the case are that Villiam B. Tascott, the man wanted, is the son of a prominent and wealthy citizen, Colon 1 J. B. Tascott, a leading wholesale paint merchant of this city. He was born and raised within a few blocks of the murdered man Snell. Though well educated he early displayed a liking for the companionship of wild boys. It is said that he has served a term in the Kentucky penitentiary for burglary. He returned a few months ago, and his family and friends tried to reform him. One of these friends, Mrs. Henrietta Owaly, invited him to her house, and young Tascolt returned the kindness by robbing her. The theft was discovered by Mrs. Owsly, who refused to prosecute him. For several weeks before the Snelt murder Tascoll boarded with Mrs. Wickes, in the same neighborhood, by the name of Scott, and he is thought to be the one who committed all the burglaries which took place in that vicinity before the murder. Since then no trace of him can be found. Mr. Snell's calate was probated to-day. It is estimated at $4,500,000, but of this $3,000,000 was conveyed to his wife four years age. He left no will, and the balance of the estate will be divided among his widow and four children.
NEW YORK, February 17th, The Herald's London cable makes a mystery of the fact that the prison, whereabouts of the convicted American dynamiters is unknown and diws the inference that they have "squealed" and fresh developments are imminent. It also quotes an untamed person close to the Home Office as asking pointedly why they should have confessed and given information of great impos tance to the Government. The query is supposed to intimate that the convicts have made a confession.
י,
The Tier London cable says; The police are nervously searching for the man who carried of the dynamite brought in by Calian and Ilarkins. Spics in New York sent word of a woman leaving for England with a lot of dynamite, and for that cause all the female passengers of the Germanic and Gallia were searchedeadly in the week. Stricter precautions too, have been taken to guard the Parliament House,

If during the continuance of this arrangement the United States should remove the duties specified above, licences shall be issued free of charge. United States fishing vessels catering and not remaining more than twenty-four hours in harbor shall not be required to enter or clear, providing they do not communicate with the shore ; for feiture to be exacted only for fishing or preparing to fish in territorial waters.
The American plenipotentiaries express satis faction with the above protocol.
LONDON, February 21st. The Crown Prince's bed has been placed in the large, drawing-room of the villa since the operation. He is never without the attendance of medical men, of whom there are six who take turos in sitting with him, In his throat he has double tube of silver, which is three inches long. He takes only liquid nourishment, such as the strongest beef tea that can be made, various jellies, milk and wine. Dr. Bergmann used chloroform for the operation, against the wishes of Mackenzie, but he refused to operate without it as he has always been accustomed to use it. The case has since been treated on the German systems, of which Mackenzie does not wholly approve. He would have preferred to follow the English plan, but his position is a very delicate, not to say a painful one.

His description of the Hawaiian volcanoes was graphic and interesting. having pictured with unusual clessness and effect the wonderful peculiarities of volcanic eruption, such as may be witnessed at certain times in different parts of the island.
Dr. Fitch's description of the manners and customs of the Hawaiian natives consisted chiefly in a recital of personal experiences. He told of their peculiar manher of living, their principal dishes of food and the processes of Cooking. Pol is a great dish among the natives. i cowoke from a vegetable that resembles an Indian surnip or a Spanish radish, and is cooked by a sort of steaming process by being buried in a- helfew of mud or clay, covered with different kinds of moistened leaves, the whole covered with mud and then heated. After the cooking it is ground up to about the consistency of mush and eaten from a calabash by each fishing from a common dish what he can retain on two fingers.
Pigs and fish are enaked in a similar process, but pigs are not butchered afer the civilized manner of sticking. The Kinakas regaril that as brutal in the extreme. Their process is to shut off the animal's wind by slipping annose over his nose. His bristles are removed by rolling him over hot rocks, and after this process he is hang-up and bled,
The natiyes classify diseases into two kinds, native and foreign-native when the afflicted recovers; foreign if he dies. They sitribute ali native discases to some sin which the victim has committed, and the manner discovering that sin is at once unique and simple. The doctor is summoned; who brings a Bible and a deck of cards Of the latter nine are dealt out after a prescribed fashion in their superstitious faith; the Bible is suffered to open at any chance page, and the number of spots on the cards indicates the number of the verge which tells of the particular sin that has been committed. It is then necessary by a ritual of religious proceedings to do penance for that sin by a season of prayer.
The speaker gave it as his conviction that the Christian Kanaka is a heathen still, if one will fake pains to penetrate a very superficialcovering. No, matter how thoroughly instilled into thel lives Christian ideas may seem to be the process is not unlike giking a wooden statue. All the gild on earth may be applied, but the wooden statue is wood still. They are a very superstitious people, and all the missionaries in the Lord's vineyard will not cliarge them. They are firm spiritualists, almost as a people, and believe in spiritual manifestations and interference with
imperishable faith.
The doctor explained by census estimates that the race is dying out, and inust, if the future repeats the past, become extinct in a few more decades. In 1778 the islands numbered a population of 400,000; seventy-five years later it was reduced to 40,000. The reason given is the dreadful havoc wrought by fatal epidemics. S. Francisco Chronicle.

to misrepresentations and unfounded charges, Two incendiary speeches and violent denunciations to gain their end. Then it follows that the cause of the sand lot is as weak as Lazarus just after returning to life. Senator Mitchell says that the Chinese are menacing the occupants of this country as the locusts occupied Egypt, but fails to give the evidence for that broad statement. He estimated the number of Chinese in the United States at from 250,000 to immigration even a Chinese hater, does not 300 g. That is to say that after fony years of SEVERAL RELIABLE HACKS venture to exaggerate the size of the Chinese population of this country more than three times, for, according to the census of 1880, there were 104,000 Chinese in all the States and Territories: Since 1880 there must have been, as many departures anddeaths as arrivals; if not, it would he because the ho.dlums of San Francisco have left off throwing stones in the cause of Christian civilization. A few wicked Chinamen, with the aid of American laws and lawyers, succeed in landing a cargo of misemble, dareputable women, and straightway the whole Chinese population is charged with the immoral trade, although the Chinese merchants and their con.. sular representatives were the most eager to prevent the landing.
The senator says that with the Chinese, perjury was a crowning virtue, while hypocrisy, deception and fraud were instruments of common employment. If the Chinese are so wicked, I ask why are so many thousands of them employed by the best California famities an house servants, and by enlightened manufac- turers in various factories? Why do they prefer the Chinese to others? Are those employers | fools to expose themselves, their families and the consumers of their goods to such a great danger? Are they not afraid of being cheated or even poisoned or tainted by the immoral and leprous Asiatics? Surely there is a kind of Infatuation which inspires insanity unknown to doctors. If, as Senator Mitchell charges, they observe their own customs and obey their own laws, is it not because the Californians have not taught them any different, nor opened any schools to them, although they have been heavily laxed to support such schools?. Is it not better for them to be amenable to some contral than to be entirely lawless?
"It is notorious that neither the municipality of San Francisco nor the State of California has ever undertaken to govern the Chinese. For the last thirty years they have devised means only for the purpose of oppressing them and making them disgorge the last hard-eamed dollar. It is a pity that the history of the Chinese. colony has not yet been written, though, to be sure, it would hardly be creditable or reliable, for it would have to be written in blood; but if it had been, what terrible stories of wrongs, injustice and oppression it could tell !"
