San Fkancisco, Feb. 11. TJioateiuner
Alameda brought tho following news
from Honolulu under date of February
4th:
Ficsidont Dole today had placed in Ida
hands :v letter from Alfrod S. Hartwell,
withdrawing his application for a cable
contract from the Hawaiian government.
At the same time, Hartwell made a re
quest for a contract in favor of the IV
cific Cable Company, of which he is tho
authorized agent.
The Pacific Cable Company, of which
General .Tames A. Scrymser is president,
and J. Fierpont Morgan, J. Kennedy
Todd, Edmund L. Hayliis, George S.
Bowdoin are directors, ask9 for no exclu
sive franchise. It wants an annual
subsidy of $40,000, and will nndartalse to
establish inter-island communication in
addition to the Hawaiian-United States
6ubmariue cable within three years,
should the contract be obtained and
cougress act favorably on the bill now
pending before it. Security of $25,000
will bo deposited with the home govern
meut by tho company for the carrying
out of its contract.
The present prospects of a cable being
laid to Hawaii are bright. The Spalding
right with this government will expire
with the ns-xt half year. From Yash
intiton comes the news that the company
which is most likely to negotiate with
the United States is tho Pacific Cable
Company.
A GRSA7
HUNTING OUTFIT.
The Extensive
Iictlmiu of
tho Khun of
Turlury. .
The emperor hath two barons, who
are own brothers, one called Uaian,
and tlie other Mingun; and these are
styled Ohinuclii (or Ctmiehi), which is
us much as to say: "The Keepers of the
Mastiff Dogs." Each of these brothers
hath 10,000 men under his orders: each
body of 10,000 being drest-ed alike, the
one in red and the other in blue, and
whenever they accompany the khan to
the chase, they wear their liver.v, in
order to be recognized. Out of each
body of 10,000 there aTe 2,000 men who
are each in charge of one or more
great mastiffs, ?o that the whole num
ber of these is very large. Ajid when
the prince goes a-hunting one of thos-e
barons," with his 10,000 men and some
thing like. 3,000 dogs, govs towards the
right, whilst the other goe.s towards
Hie, left, with his party in like, manner.
'They move along, all abreast of one
another, so that the whole line extends
over a full day's journey, and no an
imal can escape them. Truly it is a
"glorious sight to see the workingof the
dogs and the huntsmen on such an oc
casion! And as the ;hnn rides a-fowl-"ing
across the plains you will see these
big hounds coming tearing up, one
pack after a bear, another pack after a
stag, or some other beast, as it may hap,
and running the game down, now on
this side, now on that, so that it is
really a most delightful sport and
spectacle.
Tim two'brothers I have mentioned,
writes Noah Brooks in St. Nicholas,
are bound by the tenure of thHr ofiicc
to supply the khan court from Octo
ber to the end of March with 1,000
head of game daily, whether of beasts
or birds, and not counting quails; and
als with fish to the lxst of their abil
ity, allowing fish enough for thveo
persons to reckon as- equal to one head
of game.
OUR ALMANACS.
Tho Tables In -Them Aro JUiuIo by a Ulliul
Man.
"I had rather a novel experience last
year in the matter of gathering tables
showing the rise and setting-of the sun,
the changes of the moon, high and low
tides, etc.," said a publisher to a Wash
ington Star man. "Hut 1 am fixed for
this year. In my experience as a pub
lisher I had printed about everything
that I thought could Iw printed. Final
ly, an advertising concern wanted me
io get, out an almanac- for them. 'They
furnished all the. copy for the almanac
except the almanac itself that is, the
tables. I supposed I would have no dif
ficulty in getting them, but I soon
found out that 1 wa.s mistaken. My de
Hire was to get tho tables correct, and
io have them prepared in an authorita
tive way. After interviewing some of
the experts in Washington 1 found that
they were all disinclined to take any
outside, work. Finally one of them con
Mjirtied to do it, amd he did it, charg
ing me $300 for the calculations $23
for each month. I am aliou.t having a
Kimilar work done this your, and camie
here for that purpose, but I learned that
all the calculations for the various
patent medicine and many other al
manacs are made by a blind man in
Pittsburgh, Pa., an amateur mathema
tician and astronomer of considerable
heal reputation. I sent for tho tables
and have .received them, lie charged
m exactly six dollars, or 50 cents far
each month. 1 iindomtaiul that flue
aetual work is done by his children,
who write from his diottiition. He tejls
mo that he has supplied the satna tables
for about 100 different alinanucs for
1807."
AN INDIAN L-rQiiND.
How tho Mojitvea Kxiluln tho Division ot
tho KilCeH.
The mystery surrounding the origin
of the Indian race is greatly enhanced
by listening to some of the quaint leg
ends, says the Los Angelcsllerald. Here
is one of them, related by the. older
men of the Mojave tribe:
"At the time of the Mojave, the white
man, the negro, and all other people
lived together with their god, Jlule
elia, whose mother was the earth, and
whose father the heaven.
'They were all supplied with food,
clothing, and many luxuries. Hesides
these they had tools and all kinds of im
plements and machinery to work with.
"Everything was manufactured, and
especially matches.
"One day Mulevelia died, and nil the
people, excepting the Mojnves, fled, aft
er looting tho camps of everything they
could lay their hands on, not even leav
ing a- match.
"Here was a pretty state of affairs,
and the dead god awaiting cremation!
"There seemed to be no other alterna
tive than to dispateli a messenger for
a spark from one of the brilliant lu
minaries of the upper region, and a coy
ote was sent to a star for some fire.
"After a long time he returned with
out success, and so hungry that he.
tried to eat up the dead god.
".Mastanho, the man, sat by rubbing
willow sticks together, and produced
lire, which they used in burning up
Mulevelia.
"After the cremation, which took
place somewhere near Fort Mojave, the
mountains at tho foot of the canyon
parted and the Colorado flowed through
.mil swept the ashes away.
"Mastanho now became chief and di
vided the Indians into tribes and gave
them their allotments of land."
FACTORY WAGES IN RUSSIA.
Httrely Sufficient to Keep Saul mill Hoily
Together.
As for the distribution of wages, the
pay of a woman amounts to three-quarters
of that of a man, that of a. boy or
girl of 12 to 17 years to one-half, thatof
a child under 12 years, to one-third of a
grown man's wages, says the Catholic
World. The advantage arising for the
factories from women's and ctiildrcn's
wages is such that no humanitarian at
tempts have been as yet able, to solve
that harassing problem in any civilized
country. Hut as the wages of working
men in llussia are absolutely reduced to
a. minimum and scarcely sullicient to
keep soul and body together for more
than 1U "hours' toil it is a cruel tarrl
gross injustice to cut working women's
wages by a third, since the first neces
saries of life are alike in men and wom
en -egardless of sex. The monthly
wages of an adult laborer, man or wom
an, in England are 2'o (121.03 per
cent), in America 4 -1-3 (379.1-1 per cent.) ,
times greater than the wages oi a like
laborer in the Moscow factories. Since,
however, the.duration of working time
in the three countries is different, Mr.
IXmentielt has reduced the compari
son of wages per hour and conic to the
conclusion that wages in England are
by 284.5 per cent., in Massachusetts by
123 per cent, higher than those in the
Moscow factories, li' we make a good
allowance for the higher cost of living
in America which, however, is to be
understood cum gramo sal is, only the
luxuries of life being denier here, not,
the necessaries, like meat, flour, bread,
still no comparison can he drawn be
tween the mode of Ihing of an Ameri
can and a llussian laborer.
MUSTACHES IN FAVOR.
lint a few Decade Ajfii They Vcro Un
popular. "In the 00 years I have lived in Xew
York'," said an octogenarian to a re
porter of the Xew York Mail and Ex
press, "1 have never seen- such varia
tion in the styles of wearing the inns
taehe. Why, it. .seems that everybody
trains and crops them as an advertise,
meat for their various professions. The
broker, the banker, the sport, the bus!
ness man, etc., seem to adopt styles o
their own,
"Talking of mustaches .reminds of tin
time when Consul tJlidon came to New
York from Egypt in 1S,",7 wearing a big
black, drooping mustache. lie was
looked upon as a curiosity, and it was
some years later before the mustache
was generally adopted. When I was a
boy the mustache was looked upon as
vulgar ai!d monstrous and unbecoming
a gentleman
"I have often heard my father talk
about the introduction of the first mus
tache in New York. A gentleman re
turned from Europe, so the story goes,
in 1H1G. A scrubby-looking mustache
adorned his upper lip. The citizens
were stiicken dumb, lie was ridiculed,
criticised and spurned, and was finally
compelled to share it. off in despair."
Well 31 can r.
American wheelmen traveling nlone
in Europe have many queer experiences.
A young man who waa bicycling in
southern Franc.' pushing his wheel
up a steep hill when lie overtook a
peasant with a donkey cart who was
rapidly becoming stalled, though tho
little donkey was doing his best. The
benevolent wheelman, putting Ills left
hand against tho back of the cart and
giiidinghiswhcel with the other, pushed
so hard that the donkey taking- fresh
courage, pulled his load up to the top
successfully. Tho summit reached, the
peasant burst into thanks to his bene
factor. "It was very, good of you, mon
sieur," he said; '"I should never in the
world have got up the hill with only one
donkey!"
