Advice by tbs iteauiiihip Belgic from Honolulu under date of Augutt 28 lay : Minister Willi called on President Dole yesterday, nd presented him witli Cleveland's letter of recognition of tlie Kepublic. The Cabinet, ss well aa Min ister Thurston, were present. Minister Willi! ad.Irw.atxl the President as follows : "The right of the ieople of the Ha waiian Iilandi to establish their own form of government haa been formally acknowledged both by the executive and the legislative departments of the United States. It seemed pruer fur uie there fore, to far a I, the diplomatic agent, bad the right to extend lo the Rt-public of Hawaii, it having been created under tlie forma of law and existing without eflective oppieition. The action tliui taken haa, 1 am glad to state, been fully approved by the proper authorities at Washington. A the highest evidence of tliat lact I have received an autograph ltliir from the President. addressed to you as President of this Republic. In delivering this letter, aa instructed, per mit me to join in its friendly sentiment and to eipresa the hope that through tlie government now inaugurated peace, prosperity and happiness will lie secured to all the people of these Islands." lie then presented the following letter from President Cleveland, signed by Sec retary Oresham, and addressed to Han ford 11. Dole, President of the Kepublic of Hawaii: " Great and Good Friend : I have re ceived your letter of the 7th ultimo, by which yon announce the establishment and proclamation of the Kepublic of Ha waii July 4, 1H1M, and your assumption ol the olllce of President with all the formalities prescribed by the constitu tion thereof. 1 cordially reciprocate the feelings you express for the continuance of the friendly relations which have ex isted between the United Males and the Hawaiian Islamla, and assure you of my best wishet lor your ersuiial prosier ily." In reply to this letter President Dole aid to Minister Willis: "It is with sincere gratification that I have received the information that the President of the United Slates lias con firmed the recognition so promptly ex tended by your excellency to the Repub lic of Hawaii. Permit uie on behalf of the Hawaiian people to reciprocate the friendly sentimeut expressed by you to ward this government and to assure you of our desire that the relations of comity and of commercial intercourse, which hall be mutually advantageous, may rinr Hill liri. rr?n mo nu vuui..., Theeonllrmatiunol the reported recog- nltion has taken the wind out of the rovahst sails, and even the most raliiil ol them acknowledge that the career of the ex-CJiieen is now ended. One prominent royalist, who expressed the view of Uianv, said last evening: "ihe recognition is compieie. rte must acknowlcge that fact. Hut if the royalist commission, consistingol I'arker, Wildemann and t'ummings, liad never gone lo Washington the Kepublic would never have been recognised. They have ruined the Queen cans aa thoroughly aa though they had taken a request from Ui Queen for annexation." A slight trouble seem to be brewing in the government camp in spite of the recognition newt. The Schutten Club, an organisation originally formed by German supporter of the provisional government, but which haa since grown to a large sue and has taken in all nation alities, has sent set of resolutions to the government announcing that if some of their member are nut given govern ment positions at once, the club, aa a body, will withdraw its support from the power that lie. No answer haa been sent yet, and the matter will come op in the Council to-morrow.

At Taking Augutt 1 th following edict wa iaaued by th Emperor: " Cores baa been our tributary for th paat 200 odd year. She has given a tribute sll this time, which I s matter known Is all the world. For tlie past dosen years ur so she baa been troubled by repeated Insurrection, and we, in sympathy with our (mall tributary, have aa repeatedly sent succor to her aid, eventually placing a garrison in her capital to protect her interests. In May of thi year another relwllion was begun in Corea, ami the King repeaieoiy aaaeu for aid from us to put down the re lielllon. Ws then ordered 1.1 Hung Chang to send trou to Cures, and they had barely reached Yashan when the rebels nattered.

In the meantime th Japanese forced the Curean King to change hi form of government, showing a disposi tiun in every wav to bully the Coresns. It was found a dillicult matter to reason with the Wo Jen. "Although ws have been in ths habit of assisting our tributaries, we have never interfered with their internal gov- amniviil. J a nan's treaty with lorea waa as one country with another; tin-re is no law fur sending large armies to a countrv and bullying it in this way and comelliiig it ti change its ayttein of govern men l. ine various power ara united in condemning the conduct of the Japanese, and can give no reasonable name to the army she now haa in Cores. Nor has Japan liven amenable to reason, nor would she listen to the exhortation In withdraw her troop and confer ami cably upon what should lie done in Co- rva. n the contrary, japan na mown herself bellicose without regard to ap pearances, and haa been increasing her forces there. Her conduct alarmed the people of Cores, aa well as our merchants there; ami so ws sent mure troos over lo protoct them. Judge of our surprise, then, when half wav to Corea a number of Wo Jen hi suddenly appeared and, taking advantage of our unprepared condition, opened lire on our transports at a spot on the wa coast near l asiian, ami damairrd tlieln. thus causing us lo sutler from treacherous conduct, which could not lie foretold by us. "As Japan has violated treaties ami haa not observed International law ami is now running rampant with her false and treacherous actions, commencing hostilities herself and laying herself on to condemnation by the various powers at large, we therefore desire to make it known to the world that we have alway followed the naths of philanthropy and perfect justice throughout the whole i-omnlications. while the Wo Jen on the other hand have broken all the law of nations ami treaties, so that it bee impossible to bear with them. Hence we commanded U Hung ( hang to give l rid orders to our variuu armie to hasten with all speed to root the Wo Jen out of their lair.

We also commanded the Mancha Gen erals, Viceroy and Governor of the maritime provinces, ss well sa the com-manders-in-chiel of the various armie. to prepare fur war and make every effort to lire on the Wo Jen ships, if they come into rt, and to utterly destroy them.

The province of Shang Tung is discontented, and no sympathy is ex pressed with the wsr against Japan. The inhabitants regard the war with Japan as directed against ths govern ment, ami not against the people ol China. In Manchuria the people are intensely anti-foreign, and urge most active opposition to the Japanese. A man waa tortured at Nina Po as a Japan ese spy. The man waa not a Jap, but a nativeof China.

The destruction wa complete in most of the town named, Iml tome ol the loresi ismi es caped. The los, however, will be in th millions, and the loss of life will not lie delinitely known fur several days, if ever. The relief trains liroiigni supplies sent out from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Diilnih and other towns, and the suffer er ars Iwing cared fur at thi and other points. The town of Hinckley, Minn., about half way between thi city and Duluth. ha been wiped out by forest fires, and the list uf tlie dead mar reach 1,000. It will certainly exceed 200, and report now being received would indicate that the larger figure may not be too great. On tlie train to-day from there there were one or two people who came through the tires and who have graphic stories va re late of the scene. The train from Du luth reached a point a mils and a half north of Hinckley Mime time alter mid night, ami waa forced to return to a point rive miles away on account of the threatening Haines. Half a dozen pas sengers, however, secured a hand-car and rode through the Haines to Hinckley, taking the north-bound train this side uf there and returning to this city. On their ride on the hand-car they encoun tered twenty-seven dead bodie along tlie line ol the road. Seventeen were discovered at Hinckley during the morn ing, and twentv-one others had been found up to 1' o'clock. They say the people of Hinckley ran into the wood when their homes caught tire, and as the timls r aftewsrd burned, it is probable that great nuinlier perished. The most conservative estimate of the dead is 00. The whole country around Hinckley is on fire, and the fullest extent of the disaster cannot lie learned for a day or two.

Why submit to heavy luese from thi. disease? Up to April, lm4. this di- bad not been on the experiment farm ta our knowledge. Early in the month a hen became sick and dumpish, withdark comb; all food and water refused. It wss thought useless to treat this rase but Epsom salts were administered, sod this wss followed with copious watering, put in me mourn wun a spoon. Ths hsn was placed in a warm, tunny pi. isolated from usual runs, and recovered very slowly. Another hen died in s few days, and then another and a cockerel; and several persons who had hail ni rience with cholera pronounced this dis ease to be cholera. The hen snd cock erel died nesr night, and next morning two other hens were dead and right more in different stages of the disease. Treatment was begun at once. Tag hens were killed and burled, as thus Erevioualy dead had been. The six wtr rought out into the sunlight and given salts and water. The house and vn were thoroughly disinfected with 'on pint of strong sulphuric acid lo eight gallons of water, as itiggested in poultry books. The hens themselves were srard with this. Their drinking water ita charged with carbolic acid (une teaspoon ful to a half gallon of water, and fet ila was put in their food at the rate of ons heaping teaapoouful to ths food of thirty chickens. The next morning n bens could not get off the roost, though all but two had gone up as usual lU night previous and after their treatment These were treated as lfure snd nut outside the yard. Before night sll lut four hens were walking about picking grass. After Uiree days of isolation these four were returned to the rani cured, and all have been in good health since. Six hen and a cockerel were lost before the health of the flock was restored by Uie treatment as given alwve. Had we known the disease at first, it it doubtful if a single bird need to litre been lost. Promptness to disinfect snd treat the sick bird will save many losses. The dose of alla, not before recom mended to my knowledge, doubtless helped to rid the bird of the cholera ba cilli sooner thsn if it hail not lieen given, and so hastened the eradication of the disesse. Ths asafetida acts ss a dilhisivs stimulant to help to keep the birds warm. The drinking water waa for some las kept charged with carbolic acid, and sll that is now needed to secure immunity from another attack is a second thorough disinfection snd to continue for tome time the sddition of rsrbolic acid to ths drinking water.

A dry shadclesi pasture will not pro duce much growth in animals these hot days. It will pay you to have a rotation of croa, if only corn, oats and grass srs used. Have you a pair of scales? They sr next in importance to a pencil in active service. If vou must let the manure leach, draw It out so Uie washings may go into the field. No success succeeds liks surcesi. A soil is best for Uie crop Uiat grows the best upon it. One of the greatest leaks in dairying is the great loss of butter fat lost by careless handling. It is cheaper to keep np the flow of milk than to get it back after " the cost have dropped in their milk." Provide shade for all of Uie cows ; and enough so Uie incoming ones will he sure to get in it if they with. WiUihold corn meal from the soon-to-be-fresh cows. A little oil meal snd bran or either will not come amiss. If the pasture is drying up, the cowl will fail In milk and flesh if they do not have a supplemental feed of grain, en silage or fodder. Havs you commenced to cut corn fod der for your cows yet? If not, what sre Sou giving Uiem to keep up the milk ow these dry, hot dsysf We do not believe in watering milk after it is Uken from the cow. lut do believe in letting ths row have all the water she withes, whether the putt it in the milk or not The best wsy to clean a wood's pasture or a field of sprouts is to turn in the theep. If you do not have a flock, buy one; perhaps you will find them useful in other ways; or. hsving done ths work, they can be sold rapidly. A dairy writer says thst you had lt ter begin dairying with two cow snd a strong desire to thoroughly learn the business than with ten cow and a con fident feeling that yoo can succeed well as old hsnds In the butines. It Is a great mistake to work batter too mnch, and half the country butter that finds ita wsy to our commission houses baa been worked until it it only grease. Butter should be worked ss lit tle ss possible and have the milk worked out of it. Ca-oparatlve Buttar-Mahlag- The Maine Farmer gives these two rules for success In co-operative butter making: 1. Keep the expense down to the low eat practicable figure. 2. Maks good butter. Co-operative enterprises are freqnently open to ths criticism of not being par ticular in ths matter of expenses. Kjr some reason no person hardly will pur sue the amecourse in conducting P"":C business or for a corporation that they would if conducting the same busing for themselves, and especially i th: trus in the expenditure of money for ex penses. There is no good reason why there should be any difference, but it : rare to find one who will use the moufv of others as carefully as they woui i ;i the sams cams out of their own poret. and for thst reason the advice comet th a -rl iWraat of force. The man agers of a good butter-making establish ment should practice close economy r.ot inconsistent with the interest f tt establishment. And the making ol rJ butter is ons of the chief elements oi sauvaa. for the reason that good butur will find a ready sals at fair pr-cr. while a poor article is a drug m t-s saarkst at even a non-paying pnse.
