The iVelin in ]h.nolulu a! :siust the cVmspiraiors is very strong'. aiMl it is I lie •reueral desire that the executions be carried out. but J'resident Dole, who is move conservative in the matter, is said to oppose his.
William France, charged with conspiracy, was the only man deported 011 the Mariposa.
On the Australia, leavimr Fob. :2:. a number of others will be deported, inciudinu' Peterson and Crei.yhtoti, excabinet olticers, and \Yurdenbnr.ir, cxpostmaster general.
The frovernment, just prior to the sailing of the Mariposa, decided to banish Carl Wid.'-unm. convicted of treason. He is a sou oi' Jud.ye Vv'ideman, one of the ex-queen's commissioners to Washin e-ton.
Asliford and John F. Bowler liave been found guilty of misprision of treason.
A collision took place 011 the od inst. between United States Minister Willis und the government. The occasion was the deportation per steamer Warrimoo to Victoria, B. C., of a man claiming to be an Americtm citizen named J. Cranston, together with ,T. B. Johnston, an Englisiunan, and A. E. Mueller, a German. At noon, the hour set for the departure of the steamer, the three were put into a hack at the stationhouse,
driven to the steamer and put aboard by force, Cranston making a desperate resistance at the gangway.
Their passages were paid and $50 for each of the three put into the purser's hands, to be paid tlieni 011 their arrival at Victoria.
O11 the way to the wharf Johnston saw British Commissioner Hawes and sang out for protection. Hawes advised him to accept the situation.
In the meantime Cranston had secured the presence of United States Minister Willis, and Mueller that of German Consul Haekfeld.
The latter told Mueller that his punishment was just and that he .should be glad that it was 110 worse.
Although Cranston was the worst of the three. Mr. Willis took a differentview from his colleagues, and informed the ministers that lie should enter a forinal protest against the man's deporta-t-ion without trial. The attorney general assured him that the governmei.15 had thoroughly considered the subject, and were fully satisfied of their right, under martial law, tJra to rid the country of its enemies. Mr. Willis then expressed his sorrow that the ministers should persist in such an arbitrary and illegal course, and assured them that they would hear further from it.
Much interest, is expressed to know by what-construction of the recent orders from Washington the minister can thus extend protection to American citizens found taking an active part against this government.
The German consul has since filed protests against the deportation of Mueller. It is understood that he has
done this as a matter of form. W

To the man wdio delights in wander- 1 ing among green trees and over green grass, where ho can see overhead a few thousand acres of blue sky dotted with white clouds, unsoilod by black snioko and unbroken by tho rough outlines of factory chimneys, tho time always comes when in imagination a purely ethereal somo 0110 gazes with him 011 thoso same beauties. Perhaps it takes form of a creaturo clad in light, airy drapery, with long, golden hair, deep blue eyes and
ion Papers Kefused. Feb. 1(5.—Judge Pryor, seraphic smile. Andrew McChunk, when ho lirst began to stroll on the Riverside, went alone, with tho exception of the two Iialligan children. Then, as tho days flew b}*, tho purely ethereal creation walked with him, and those were the times when ho used to closo his e\"es and squeeze littlo Miss Halligan's hands quite tenderly. Later tho ideal fo*rm took upon itself a change the golden hair assumed a dull red buo tho eyesonce blue beeamo snappy black tlio form shortened a littlo and spread out in proportion tho airy draperies wero changed into solid red calico. In fact, the ideal some 0110 that onco walked by tho sido of Andrew McChunk became the exact counterpart of tho buxom young woman who dispensed lemonade and knotty apples from a small stand at the southeast corner of Trinity churchyard.
Who was this creature? Andrew McChunk did not know her namo. Ho always thought of her as "her" and "she." Her customers know her as plain Annie.
McChunk had presided over a cable car for a whole year before he lirst came beneath her softening influence. For that year he had been tho most daring gripman on the whole line. His conscience never smote him in the least when he flew by forlorn females as on rainy days they stood on the corners frantically waving their umbrellas. No look of compassion ever passed across his stolid face when he left behind him a truckman helplessly dancing about broken wheels and axles.
Then the change came—slowly, surely. One day as his car was spinning by Trinity churchyard his eye fell upon the form of her. She had taken the place of the old woman who for years had kept the stand there and was sitting beneath the shade of a green nmbrella. With one eye she kept watch upon her glass covered case, in which glistened the surfaces of numberless blocks of chocolate of various sizes with tho other upon her customers, to

glasses of lemonade. She was a short woman, not over 85 perhaps and had wavy red hair, a complexion not unlike that of the apples in tho basket before her and a broad countenance beaming with good nature.
The very next day ou his down trip Andy McChunk looked her way again, and the nest day, aud the next day, until at length ho acquired tho habit of straining his eyes to see her from several blocks up the street. But sho never noticod him until one day when passing ho petulently jumped on the gong pin. Then she looked up, and their eyes met. Sho smiled, and ho smiled, and the car banged into a truck. A moment later as he spun by Andy McChunk smiled his unconcern at a profane and injured driver. It was for the first time in his career on the road.
After that as he clattered along toward the churchyard he used to pound the alarm. Then sho would look up and smile, and his joy was complete. And thus bis love grow up on him. Then

CIJIPMAN .irCHUXK.
Through the rough woof and warp that mado lip the character of Gripman Andrew McChnnk thero ran a silver thread oi' sentiment. To those who simply saw the uncouth exterior of the man, as day after day he stood upon the front platform of the car over whose performances he presided, playing rudely on the alarm gong, swearing at the Truckmen who would block his triumphal. pa-sage this would have seemed almost impossible. But. the thread was thero nevertheless and showed itself on, every afternoon when ho was off' out v. and with two youngsters, the properiy of his landlady, Mrs. Ilalligan, hanging to each hand, ho left the small tiat on the fifth floor of aO.- .). Ninth avenue and betook himself to Riverside park. y-y Gripman McChunk loved nature, not as she reveals herself in the hothouse atmosphere of the so called gardens that lino the Harlem, but as she discloses herself on the Riverside. He loved the broad, silent stream, the high, wooded palisades, the green grass at his feet, the green leaves above his head, in which the birds chirped and fluttered to and fro on tho balmy summer days. Many a pleasant afternoon as ho strolled along tho narrow gravel pathways he would closo his eyes to shut out the sight of the endless line of equipages rolling by, and trusting to the guidance of tho children at his side would listen to tho twitter of the sparrows and robins and to tho swishing of the breeze among tho carefully pruned branches and imagine himself back up countiy. Now, had ho not had somo little sentiment ho would have spent those same afternoons sitting in his shirtsleeves by I the open window7 of Mrs. Halligan's stuffy flat smoking his pipo and gazing stolidly down 011 the elevated trains as they rattled along below7.
isatllt
-came the time when he. used to squeeze little Miss Halligan's hand as ho walked along tho Riverside, with his eyes I "closed, on
his half days off, trying to
imagine her at his side. lie 110 longer bumped trucks off the track without warning, but considerately gave tho alarm, like a rattlesnake before coiling to strike. Unless he was behind time ho never ran by corners, but always graciously stopped at tho sign of tho waving umbrella. And so from tho most rockless gripman on tho lino Andy McChunk became tho most considerate, tho most polite.
Then came his groat disappointment.?^ O110 Sunday afternoon tho early fall when he wa-5 off work^no fixed himself up in his b...-f, and for tho first time on a day oil' started out without tho littlo ILilligans. Lh.t h" did not go for a stroll in 'he par:-:. Lie .journeyed down town instead, intent en enduring no further iO .1

So tii- re!.-nth.-ss cable rolled on and carried him by her day by day. Somo-»\ times it st.ppid, but it always 1« ft Gripman M"Chunk at Union square or at some other -pot on tho line in which ho had no interest. lJow he used to long that some day it would breakdown when his car was in front of the church yard! Then he would be able to talk to her, to find out her name, and perhaps that would be tho beginning of an acquaintanco to end—in moments of i. verie like these a pleasant smile adorned the l'aco of Andrew McChunk, a smile that not all his growth of stubbly red board could conceal. Ho would strain his eyes as if to seo her from tho postoffice. "Plinkot3r, plung, plung, would go tho gong. Sho would look up and smile, and ho would smile. Then tho relentless cable would carry him on, a dark look would come into his face, and he would dance viciously on tho alarm, and perhaps if an opportunity offered would vent his anger on the unfortunate wagon that might happen to intercept his passage.
At last the meeting rtiid tho separation. It was a disagreeable, rainy day in early November when his ca1* rattled along lower Broadway. Ho made out tho great green umbrella from Cedar street and saw tho lower jiartof tlio imitation seal plush cloak beneath it. Then a mail wagon intercepted his view for a moment. "Plunkety, plung, plung," wont the gong. His eyes wero riveted upon tho stand. She was not there. His astonishment knew no bounds, for never before had sho been absent from her post so early in tho day. "Plunkety, plung, geplung, geplung, b-r-rung-b-r-rung," went tho gong. Perhaps sho was behind tho stand.
Gripman McChunk's bones wero chilled to the marrow*. Up from under the very platform upon which he was standing came a scream. Ho jumped on the gong, and it sounded one single triumphant clang. Round whirled tho grip wheel, round whirled the brake wheel, and tho car came to a standstill.
They picked her off the fender and carried her away in an ambulance., So Gripman Andrew McChunk's heart was broken.
A big policeman stood besido him on the platform on tho trip up town. The gong sounded seldom on that mournful journey. When it did ring, it had lost all former life, and tho notes came forth in a mournful toll as they gavo I expression to tho player's feeling.
Next day tlie police justice decided that tho wholo affair was an accident and discharged Andrew McChunk with a warning. The company discharged him, too, but without a warning. He got a job as a street cleaner, and one bleak day in the following February, as he was shoveling tho snow out of the gutters on Columbus avenue, ho chanced to look up, and his eyes foil upon a blue and gold sign over a small but neat looking store. Upon it read, "Miss Wilkins, Delicatessen." Ho looked through the window and saw her standing there behind the counter. Their eyes met, but she gave him no smile of recognition.
As ho bent down over his shovel he muttered, "If I'd 'a' kep'my eyes down th' track, I wouldn't be here, and she wouldn't 'a' got damages an be there, btit then I'd 'a' never know'd what et was ter have thot queer wishin ter see her from three blocks up th' street.
He leaned on his shovel and gazed blankly into the brown snow.—New York Sun.
A Story of Harry Furntss.
Hero is a funny story, though ho did not tell it to me himself, that wont the round of the New York clubs when Furniss visited tho States. Be it known that American journalists and American flaneurs affect to read Punch as a production absolutely devoid of humor, and inasmuch as it is paper written "by gentlemen for gentlemen" it probably fails to secure general appreciation in journalistio America, though in certain circles it is as popular iu the great republic as it is here.

"A little, sandy bearded man, with a rather bald head and a big mustache." "Ah," replied his interlocutor, "now I seel Why, that was Harry Furniss himself.''—Strand Magazine.
