Townsend. inspector general of schools of Hawaii, made a thoughtfully conceived address on the subject, 'The Educational Problem In Hawaii." "The environment and the temper of the children of Hawaii," said Dr. Townsend, "are especially diversified. This Is due largely to the diversity of races, with all it Implies. The .ends of the earth meet In Hawaii, and no one race 13 predominant in numbers. Present Indications are the generation next to be born in Hawaii will consist of white persons and Hawallans In almost equal numbers, and of a large number of Asiatics. These latter will not be assimilated with the elements of our future population, and form one people, though It 13 possible the whites and Hawaiians will thus unite, in spite of radical race difference. The problem involves at least two races of menj In nearly equal numbers, living side by side within our narrow boundaries without uniting. Our Hawaiian civilization should be based upon broad charity and universal good will."

Henceforward, and so long as it may not please God to present us with a son, the right to the throne devolve?, according to the precise law of succession, upon our beloved brother, the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch."

PARIS, July 1L Le Solr declares that, on July 15, following the national fete. General Jamont, commander-in-chief and vice president of the supreme council of war, will be replaced by General Brugere, who was last week appointed military governor of Paris, In succession to General Zurlinden, removed. It Is believed the police reports regarding the Royalist plots are exaggerated. Comte Bonl de Castellane, Paul de Roulede and Jules Gerln, the deputy, all deny the statements of the police concerning them. Nothing la Known here of any contemplated duel between Comte de Castellane and the Prince of Monaco. The latters residence in Paris is closed and the whole household 13 away. Count Castellane Criticised. NEW YORK. July 11. A dispatch to the World from Paris says: "Count Bonl de Castellane, who married Anna Gould, of New York, has not challenged the Prince of Monaco to a duel, as was reported by a New York newspaper, and if he expected a challenge from the prince he has been disappointed so far. The facts in the case are these: The ruler of Monte Carlo sent an open letter to Mme. Dreyfus, expressing sympathy for her and inviting her husband to recuperate at a castle which the Prince of Monaco owns in French territory, 'when the holy work of justice is accomplished and Dreyfus Is liberated. The next day Count Castellane sent to the newspapers a sensational answer to that letter. "Although the Prince of Monaco's little manifesto is generally regarded as uncalled for. Count Do Castellane's rejoinder immediately became the joke of Paris. It was high-pitched, in places so incorrect as to be obscure, and contained efforts at sarcasm which are conceded to be tactless and brutally offensive. Not only did the count charge the prince with meddling unbecoming a foreigner, but he suggested that the prince may be connected with Dreyfus by marriage, and made other remarks which are unanimously considered 81113'. Castellane. being generally held in contempt here, the newspapers are extracting great fun out of this incident and abusing him rather severely. The French public is inquiring, 'Has our army no better champion?' It is pointed out that, while Castellane has succeeded In evading the most of his military service, the Prince of Monaco, although a foreigner, enlisted as a private and served France throughout the Franco-Prussian war. Monaco's letter was sent from Denmark, and, as his yacht Is cruising in the North sea, probably he has not received Castellane's answer. At any rate, he has not acknowledged the receipt yet. It is not believed here that the prince would condescend to a duel with such a ridiculous person." IRISH PORK THROWN AWAY. Mr. Flynn Hurls a. Boomerang at Americans and it Recoils on Himself.

Ellison MaCarthy, replying In the House of Commons to-day to a question of James Christopher Flynn, Irish Nationalist, member for the north div&ijn of Cork county, asked regarding the recent destruction at Deptford of thirty-six thousand pounds of salt meat, which was unfit for food, and whether, in view of this loss, the Admiralty would consider the advisability of contracting for salt meat with Irish and other home curers, said the whole of the pork destroyed at Deptford was Irish pork and that all the bt-ef condemned was American btef.

STEAMER PARIS AFLOAT

GERMAN SALVAGEB.S AT LAST 5XCCESSFLL IX THEIR EFFORTS. The Biff Liner Holated Free from the Grip of the Manacles Sinking; of the Stranded Steamer Portia. LONDON, July 1L The salvagers have moved the American line steamer Paris astern for a distance of 150 yards and have shifted the vessel's position slightly to the east. They hope to be able to get the after stoke-hold fires alight. The Paris is now clear of the rocks. The sea is smooth but a heavy fog prevails to-night. Tho Intention of the salvagers was simply to slew the stern of the liner so as to facilitate the operations of the divers, but It was found she moved more freely than was expected. Three salvage boats alone practically removed her from a critical "position unaided. She still has a distinct list, however, to the starboard and cannot be assumed out of danger. The tugs are preparing to tew her to Falmouth harbor. x The German salvagers are elated at their unexpected success in floating the Paris. She had been weighted with nearly a thousand tons of granite at the stern with a view of hoisting her bows free from the rock. The divers had difficulty In getting at the rock and this was the reason for the tentative effort to move her. Several tugs from Falmouth proceeded to the'scene. but the Germans were net anxious for their assistance, offering the largest tug only $23 for towage, an offer which was promptly refused. It was then decided the vessel, being in a position of comparative safety, should remain where she was for the night and that the divers should continue their work of patching the hull so as to minimize the risk of towing. Unless something unforeseen occurs the Paris will be towed to Falmouth to-morrow and if on Inspection her condition warrants it she will be taken to Southampton or some other dock for repairs. The weather late this evening is rather unfavorable, the symptoms being rain, fog, a falling barometer and a slight wind from the southeast. An Increase in the wind might prove serious. Every precaution has have been taken to anchor the liner securely. Captain Watklns, the other officers and twenty of the crew are still on board. The pumps are coping with the water and there is no danger of the vessel sinking. It is understood the salvagers are the same who refloated the Peninsular and Oriental steamer China, which went ashore In March of last year on Azalea Point, n,ear Aden. FALMOUTH, England, July 12. The ccast guard reports that as the Paris began to move and to tug at her anchors this morning the crew was obliged to let out cables and in about an hour the liner got quite clear of the rock and into deep water. - STEAMER PORTIA SUXIC. Went Down In Ten Fathoms of Water One Life Lost. HALIFAX, N. S., July 11. The steamer Portia, which struck on Big Fish shoal, fifteen miles east of Halifax, last night, filled and sank during the night. The only victim of the wreck was a twelve-year-old Assyrian lad, known by the name of Basha, who was traveling second-class from New York to St. Johns, N. B., where his mother lives. The others on board the steamer, including seventy passengers, and a crew of thirty-four officers and men, who were landed safely at Sambro Island, were cared for there during ths night and brought here to-day. None of the passengers saved their baggage, and a number reported that their money and Jewels had been lost. Captain Farrell, who left the Portia last night to look after the safe landing of his passengers, returned to the scene a few hours later on a Sambro lobster steamer. It was found that the Portia had been carried entirely over the shoal and sunk in nine or ten fathoms of water a short distance on the other side, only the topmasts being visible above the surface. ; .

AUSTIN. Tex.. July 1L The Cotton Exchange. In this city, completed, to-day, the work of carefully tabulating the losses on the cotton crop, attendant upon the Brazosriver flood.

Bllssourl Order Against Insurance Companies Xot 3Iodlfled. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.. July 1L It has been persistently reported that Attorney General Crow had agreed with the seventythree Insurance companies ousted under the decision of the Supreme Court for violation of the anti-trust law to consent to a modification of the order to allow them to continue, on payment of a fine and the filing of certificates and affidavits that they had dissolved their Western union and that, they would, in the future, obey the anti-trust law. To-day Attorney General Crow stated that a proposition of that character had been made to him, but that he had not accepted it; that the matter was In the hands of the Supreme Court and that It alone had power to act. He thinks the companies should reduce rates in this State for insurance. They made a stubborn resistance to the suit in the court and now he feels that they should be punished. MOTHER AND SON REUNITED. Latter Was Kidnaped Tvrenty-Flve Years Ago When an Infant. CLEVELAND, O., July 11. F. C. Getchell, an Insurance agent living here, who was kidnaped when an Infant, twenty-five years ago, and his mother, were reunited to-night. The mother, Mrs. Emma Smith, came from Birmingham, Ala., where she was located after a long search, and was met at the train by her son. The meeting was an affecting one, the mother, who Is now sixty years- of age, being accepted by the son without question. The story. Mrs. Smith tells Is that the Infant was taken by a relative to New Orleans and there placed in an orphan asylum. The boy remained there until he was fifteen years of age, when he came North and, after living in various places, he came to this city. He is now married and has two small children. SHOOTERS ARRESTED. Daniels and Elliott Charged With Killing Pigeons. DENVER, Col., July lL-Alvin B. Daniels, of Denver, and J. A, R. Elliott, of Kansas City, were arrested to-night on warrants issued by Justice Nichols, of Golden, on complaint of the Humane Society, on a charge of killing pigeons. The Colorado law permits the shooting of pigeons at the trap, but the Humane Society claims it Is Invalid. Daniels, who is a millionaire, will test the law in the highest courts. This is the result of the recent match between Elliott and Daniels for the Dupont cup. AS TO WHO IS A LIAR. In a General Way everybody Is, but It Is ftot Safe to Particularize. New York Tribune. The word "liars" dropped like a spark Into the inflammable material of the Professional Woman's League at Its last meeting, and it was like a match falling into a barrel of firecrackers. Men usually assume that women have a right to be liars if they want to, and do not expect them to object much to be called so, but some women have a notion that the term is uncomplimentary. A man care3 more for his own reputation in this respect than for that of mankind in general. A woman cares more, for the reputation of womankind for truthfulness than for her own. Say to a man: "All men are Uars," and he does not think the subject worth talking about. Say to him, "You are a liar." and he thinks that tho time for talk has passed and the time for action has arrived. On the contrary, -almost any honest woman will tell you that she Is herself a liar, but say to her: "All women are liars," and she at once gets angry. Probably the distinction is this: She is not willing to have it known that lying is with her a personal trait, but she resents the implication that she is a woman, and therefore necessarily a liar. There is obviously enough dynamic force in these propositions, even after all the years that have passed since "The Two Orphans" dropped the same bombshell, to rend the Professional Woman's League from pinnacle to foundation. But the Professional Woman's League is most Itself when it is most rent asunder, and it Is not afraid of any such questions. So it discussed them, and if It did not get any conclusion it at least got several statements on the subject, none of them new and none final, but all emphatic. Here are some of the sage decisions reached, not necessarily by more than one person each: Men average up as many liars to the billion as women do. A liar need not be a malicious liar In order to be a liar. It is unfortunate that the state of business makes lying necessary, as it unquestionably does. It is unfortunate that the state of society makes lying necessary, as It unquestionably dees. A lie Is justifiable only when it rescues one on the brink of destruction. (Vide "The Two Orphans.") To be absolutely truthful one should never He. (if this Is not an inspiration, what do you call an Inspiration?) There are some women and even men who never lie. (This was the declaration of a member who said that she was something of a liar herself.) A little lie may be excusable, but not a big, deliberate He, because it is sure to be found out and doesn't pay. (This is surely pure ethics run mad.) The percentage of liars In the human race, male and female, is about 90. (This is an average of opinions expressed.) One of the members cited Mark Twain's maxim: "When in doubt, tell the truth." but nobody thought to cite another of Mark Twain's maxims, "Truth is the most valuable thing we have; let us economize it." This is here quoted from memory, and Is subject to slight error, but It is correct In substance. It Is sufficient to neutralize Mark Twain as an authority. The noticeable thing about this discussion to all true philosophers is the scarcity of the light which It throws on any subject at all. It is not a question that a high-school debating society would get excited over. That Is left to the Professional Woman's League. Once there was a clergyman who went around delivering a lecture entitled, "All Men Are Liars," and he had printed on his tickets, "All Men Are Liars. Admit one." This ticket was regarded as offensive, and that fact seems to sum up the whole matter. You may say that all people are liars, and everybody will agree with you, and no harm is done, but you must nqt be more explicit than that You must not say. "You are a liar." and you must not even say. "All wemen are liars." If you want to say, "I am a liar," that Is your own affair, and nobody will be surprised to hear it Obituary.

riNGnCG DETERMINED TO IXAI GURATE MCMCIPAL OWNERSHIP. Security Franchise Ordinance Passed by the Detroit Council After Ilea ted Arsruraents. DETROIT, Mich., July 11. Municipal ownership of Detroit street railways took a great fresh start to-night l'l spite of the recent adverse decision of the Michigan Supreme Court annulling the appointment of the street-railway commissioners, and In spite of various other kinds of opposition. After about Ave hours of fiercest argument and desperate filibustering the Common Council, by a vote of 19 to 14, passed the socalled security franchise ordinance. This ordinance prescribes the terms under which the street railways are to bo operated by their present owners in the event of their reversion through the municipal corporation (organized by the late commissioners in behalf of the city) falling to meet the payments according to terms of purchase. Mayor Maybury will veto the ordinance, but Governor Pingree and the other promoters of the municipal ownership plan appear to be fairly confident of securing four more votes, necessary to pass the ordinance over the mayor's veto. The veto will be presented next Tuesday night If the security ordinance finally passes a. working ordinance, under which the "Detroit Municipal Railway" corporation will operate the roads, will also be passed. In the event of passage of both ordinances the municipal company will doubtless have to pass through Injunction proceedings before 3-cent fares and city (through corporation) ownership is accomplished. A special session of the Council began at 3 o'clock, the object of the majority being to pass the ordinance and receive the mayor's veto at to-night's regular meeting. The special session continued so long, however, that it was merged into the regular session. The Detroit Municipal Railway Company originally consisted of the three street-railway commissioners. To-day the Council was notified that Carl E. Schmidt, one of the late commissioners, had withdrawn from the Municipal Company, and that J. C. Hutchins (vice president and manager of the Detroit Citizens' Streetrailway Company) had been substituted in the Municipal Company for Schmidt. The security ordinance was taken from the table by a vote of 21 to 11, which was the vote throughout the long struggle with two exceptions, these being a proposition to substitute 3-cent fares for six for a quarter, the other obliging the submission of the ordinance to a vote of the people. After several hours of debate Alderman Beamer. president of the Council, made a sensational attack on the ordinance and Its promoter. Charges that several aldermen had been Improperly influenced by the street-railway people were freely made by President Beamer. So broad were his hints that one alderman threatened to fight. Finally the chair declared the regular meeting was in session, and after a short recess the ordinance was passed. WHIST LEAGUE SURPRISE Indianapolis Defeated Minneapolis for the Hamilton Trophy. CHICAGO. July 1L After a long and hard-fought battle of eleven hours duration the Atlantic Auxiliary Association's team, at 2 o'clock this morning, finally won the much coveted Brooklyn trophy at the Auditorium in the ninth annual congress of the American Whist League. For the next year the trophy will adorn an Eastern clubhouse. The principal contest of the congress for the Hamilton trophy was begun to-day with twenty-two tables' of players, embracing as many clubs. The Indianapolis Whist Club defeated the Minneapolis Whist Club at the second session of the Hamilton trophy contest, by a score of the three tricks. The score stood: Indianapolis, 1G5: Minneapolis, 162. This was one of the surprises of the tournament for Minneapolis was looked upon as the probable winner of the trophy. SLAVERY IN EASTERN COLONIES. An Inhuman Traffic In evr Caledonia and the Island of Reunion. New York Tribune. American occupation of the Philippines and the employment there by the military government of Chinese and other coolies have incited some jealous critics to find fault with the management of these Eastern laborers by the military and civil authorities in the Islands. Such unfounded criticisms have been answered already in a sat lsfactory manner by many writers and experienced men, who proved that the coolies employed by Americans in the Philippines were there of their own accord and free will, and that they are not treated like slaves, aa Is too often the case In European colonies of the far East. This ts especially true of French colonies in that part of the world, where, according to Le Matin, a ministerialist organ at Parte. Prench officials do openly what the French press was wont to reproach in the British agents in West Africa. It must be noted that for some years the odious coolie traffic In the French colonies had been forbidden and that it was re-established in 1SQS by the connivance of M. Andre Lebon, that French minister who aggravated the sufferings of Captain Dreyfus by his orders sent to Guiana, as, for instance, ordering the building around the captive's hut and ground of a fence which closed to him the soothing sight of the sea. It is the same proslavery Lebon who had ordered that a special metallic coffin should be sent to Devil's island that Dreyfus's body could be placed inside and transported to France In a perfect state of preservation, that it could be exhibited and the people would not charge the government with. setting the prisoner free and presenting a dummy dead man in his stead. Dispatches stated recently that the governor of Guiana had cabled after Dreyfus' departure to know what should be dono with this metallic coffin. The ferocious Lebon Is no longer minister of the navy, but his successors have followed his policy in regard to the labor contracts signed by coolies and the real slavery to which these contracts tied them. It Is to be hoped that It will be different under the present Waldeck-Rousseau Cabinet, in which M. De Lanessan holds the portfolio of the navy ard M. Decrals that of the colonies. Both of these ministers have to consult and agree together generally in regard to colonial matters. They will have to abolish the system of coolie engagements and labor, which had flourished between 190 and 1S93, had been stopped between IS&j and IK'S, and then allowed again by Minister Lebon. The new slave trade in yellow coolies of the far Ea?t was conducted as follows: Some French colonies were in need of laborers for agricultural, mining and other kinds of work. The problem was to transport, with the greatest economy, laborers from Tonquin, Annam and other overpopulated French provinces'. The men might be "engages" that Is, contracted or ex-convlcts. A grcup of merchants In southern FranceMarseilles and Bordeaux launched themselves In that profitable speculation in ISfc). Chinese operated as recruiting agents, so that their promises should be better credited by the Tonqulnese and Annamltes, belonging to the tame yellow race. The recruiters received $1 for each "engage" they secured. It cost 63 francs for his transportation from Haiphong, in Tonquln. to Noumea, in New Caledonia, the principal market for these slaves. In the latter place he was given up sold, really to a colonist for a price varying according to the age and strength of the subject, between 150 and 500 franc?, or a profit for the trader of from 83 to 433 francs. Vessels cf- a Bordeaux firm transported cargoes of five hundred or seven hundred laborers. The Chinese who had "engaged"these mn promised them seven francs a month for five or six years, after which they would be free to return to their villages and cultivate the fields purchased with their savings. They signed the contract without bein;? able to understand the French language of it and they embarked, never to return, for their contract did not provide for that Once, however, the governor of Tonquln ordered their repatriation. The shipping comapny made an effort, in order to preserve the confidence of the natives, and Kromised that eighty-four Annamltes. they avlng finished the term of their labor contract, would be brought back from New Caledonia. Only fifty-five were disembarked, the others having succumbed to the privations and sufferings of the sea voyage, for the food allowance of these "engaged" laborers on board the vessel Is even less than that of transported convicts. In 195 M. De Linessan, now minister of the navy and vhen governor of Tonquln, interdicted this monstrous traffic, after having been enlightened upon the subject bf reports of him own agents and by those of the FtsHenUarx clsUnistr&tlsa, ut crcit

MERIT SYSTEM IN .NO DANGER A Washington Offlclal Who Ian Opposed to It Declares It Cannot De Uprooted. Washington Special in Boston Transcript. Thomas II. McKce, the Journal clerk of the last House of Representatives, is an avowed opponent of civil service reform. Two years ago he made a canvas of the Kepublican representatives elected to ascertain what they proposed to do with the existing system. The replies that came to fclm indicated an overwhelming mojority for repealing the law, and Mr. .McK.ee then believed that Its days were numbered. In this light, his views as to the outlook now are of interest. It should also be said that Mr. McKee has had almost a lifelong acquaintance with public affairs, has occupied a position of importance In connection with, the Republican national commltee in each presidential campaign, and has long been an otticer of the House of Representatives. "Civil service reform has come to stay," said Mr. McKee this morning, as he stood in one of the long corridors of the treasury building. "I did not think so two years ago. 1 was greatly disappointed that the members of the House did not see fit to carry, out what it was their evident purpose and lntontion to do before Congress met. In the future. Congress Is likely to lop off something here and there from the power of the commissioners, and the present and any succeeding administration will set things about as exigencies and inclinations may require. But the general structure of the classified service, the so-called merit system, will rot be demolished. The Democrats think that if Bryan were elected on a platform opposing iife tenure' In the public service, like the Chicago platform of 1896, civil service reform would be swept away. But they are mistaken. Neither of the great parties could uproot the system. Each party has too much invested In it, toa many friends in the classified service, dependent upon the continuation of the present system. If the Democratic party should come Into power and attempt to repeal the law, senators and representatlvea would find a pressure from those already In office under it, and their friends at home, which could not be resisted. If some brandnew third party which has little or nothing at stake should come into power they might turn everybody out and start in anew, but I do nnt look to see either of the old parties Jo it. Therefore I say civil sevice reform has come to stay." "What ere your chief objections to the present system?" "In the first place, there are many young people turned out of our schools and colleges to-day who have a capacity of paasslng examinations, but are good for almost nothing else. The present system puts a premium upon such people, and the publlo service is rilling up with them. Then th tendency for the departments to fill up with useless material, or rather material to remain in the departments long after it has ceased to be of any usefulness Is very strong."
