Special by tho California Associated Pess. Washington, March 31. Caesar Celsom Ereno, late premier to king Kalakaua has an interesting audim iwrtant letter to-day from this city to young Wilcox, the Hawaiian revolu tionist, from which the following ex tracts are taken: 'I am of tho opin ion and warmly desire that you sliould be a cabinet minister -with the firm resolution to entirely deliver your country and countrymen from the grasp of greedy and unscrupulous missionaries and their accomplices, who conjointly preach in their churches on Sunday, and do all kinds of wordly tricks and traffic in their shops through the week, and meddle with politics all the year around." "Missionary fraternity in Hawaii is a calamity worse thau leprosy for the Hawaiians." "Next May when the Hawaii parliament meets, 3011 must make a motion of a want of conn deuce in the present missionary min istry, followed by another for the impeachment; of the ministers, chief justice Juuu anulvev. Uartor, muns- ter of Hawaii to Washington, for hav ing betraved the confidence of the Hawaiian king aud people in framing and proposing a treaty in 18S9 to the American government for the annexa tion of the Hawaiian islands to the United Slates. Minister Carter is a public laughing-stock in Washington, and his principal ami in the above mentioned treat' of annexation was to becomo himself and to make his brother-in-law, Judd, both senators to the United States senate m Washing ton from the state of Hawaii. I have good reasons to believe that President Harrison and Secretary of State Blaine, not only did not give any encouragement to minister Car ter in his annexation scheme, against the will of the Hawaiian king and people, but they and the Republican party will prevent any other nation from taking possession of Hawaii, therefore Hawaiian independence and neutrality nre assured." "You Hawaiians need a strong minded and adroit pilot to guide you in sailing the ship of stato and that person should be ProL Walter Hill, editor of tho Bulletin, otherwise your position in front of the missionary ring, will be as before, and similar to that of a simple and weak lamb, in front of a cunning fox and rapacious wolf." Wilcox writes encouragingly of lus prospects. Instead of being hung, as expected, he was liberated and elected to the new parliament from one of the districts of Honolulu. He hopes to be a cabinet officer. The Proposed Tariff Hill. Special to Tiik Astoiuax J Washington, March 31. At a special meeting of tho ways and means committee to-day Chairman Mclviulcy presented the Republican tariff bill. The minority will be allowed ten davs to offer amendments to the bill. Ac cording to McKinley, it will effect a reduction of SJ.j,(XH),U00in the revenue. The most notable changes recently made in the bill are as follews: The free list is enlarged by the addition of items proposed in the old senate bill aud by the addition of nickel ore; cer tain works of art: paintings in ou and water colors, aud sculpture by Ameri can artists, abroad. Hides aro Liken from the free list and put on the duti able list at 15 per cent. The sugar schednle is as it has been published. A ver heavy increase in the duty on wools is made. On the whole it it. thought that importations will be reduced by it to a very largo extent Tho duty on woolen manu facturers of high grades are greatly increased. Lumber is reduced from S2 per thousand feet to S1.50 per thousand feet Hewed and square limber is reduced from 20 per cent to 10 per cent; some of the greatest in creases are made in agricultural prod ucts; tho increase is made along the line ana it is designed to give farmers a market for $73,000,000 worth of products now imported. It is understood that tho Democrats will report the Mills bill modified as a substitute. The modifications will be chiefly by additions to the free list of hides, wool, salt and perhaps coal, uuu pig iron; an 01 wmcu new Eng land manufacturers want free. The Massachusetts delegation in the house are particularly displeased with the bill. Putting hides on the dutia ble list, has greatly incensed them. Death of Vice Admiral Cowan.

A Itemarkaljle Footrace in Wisconsin's Pioneer Day. "Did you ever hear of the most re markable race ever rnn in Wisconsin, or anywhere el;e for that matter?' asked an old timer the other day. "No? Well, I will tell you about it, for I saw it myself. In the summer of 1841, with my uncle, 1 was making a business trip to what is now the Oneida reservation, in Wisconsin. A St. Louis sportsmau, Henry Stanton, was stopping there at the time, hav iug been taken sick while on a hunt ing trip, and the ludians were taking caie of him. Stanton one day wit ncssed a fast race by some of the young bucks and an idea struck him. It afterward struck others to their sorrow. He had the bucks try their speed, aud soon was sending letters to his friends east and south. They were confidential letters, but the an swers promised him aU the money he needed. He then sent out notices to the sporting faculty that on a certain day of that summer (1S4-1) he would wager his pilo that a footrace of ten miles could be made in ten min utes. It seemed preposterous. But few locomotives had ever made such lime. "Stanton, however knew what he was about. With a trusted bnck, 'Peep-o-Day,' he engaged the Indians to put them ou the trail, on a iiali milc straight stretch and return, the Indians to relieve eachothcr tit theend of each mile. He had them practice in secret at night One day 'Peep-o- Da' informed Stanton that a stranger had offered him a bribe to let him see a trial race. 'All right,' said Stanton, take his money aud let him see it' Rut Stanton had his men make poor time and thus deceive the briber. "The day of the race arrived and with it about fifty of the sports of St Louis, New York .and other cities. The betting ran high with odds against the feat being accomplished. Among the party was a young man named i)esuoyers from Detroit on his way to Green "Ray with S60.000 in money and accepted paper to pay debts and con tract for furs. The race was duly opened, the first young buck mak iug his mile in sixty-four sec onds, just four seconds short The second young buck was about to start when a chief 'One-Eye-Gone' grasped him in his arms and said he was his son and the 'run would kill him.' Stanton hastily explained that in their attire, with clouts liko circus riders aud a belt strapped over their stomachs, no harm could be done them. But time was wasted in the controversy and tho young buck reached the stand with Stanton thirty seconds behind. "The betters against Stanton and his crowd now began lo laugh and jeer and freely offered ten to one. Stanton and his friends looked sad and de jected enough. But they took till the bets offered just the same, and right hero voting Desnoyers lost his head ,i ,t eunnm r liia ninnov and nut un S40.00U 01 his money against the making of the race on time. It is said some 20,000 changed hands there aud then, but 1 don't know that The sum is probably exaggerated, but it was largb enough. The race went on. The third buck made his mile in fifty seconds, reducing the losses to twenty seconds. This was kept about tho same until the ninth buck stepped to the frout, with a total gain of five seconds. The last buck must make up the fifteen seconds now lacking. He was a tall, gaunt, wiry Indian, and seemed lo be all legs. The betters against Stanton began to waver, and now calls for even bets and even odds by Stanton and his friends failed to bring response. The buck started on time. And such strides! From six to eight feet each, mid he went like a whirlwind let loose. He must make his mile in -15 seconds or all was lost. It was an exciting moment; but the buck got there with both feet and had just two seconds to spare. "There was nogreat excitement over the result The gamblers present were accustomed to winning and losing large amounts. One St. Louis man, however, did make a remark about 4a put-up job', and even drew a derringer and demanded his money returned. Stanton raised his arm, and tho fifty or more bucks who stood around to witness the race dropped their long blankets and stood calmly leaning on uglylookiug guns. That settled it. The race was fair. The young racing bucks speut money freely for awhile, as did also the chief who interfered with the race. Young Desnoyers was never seen again, either in Greeu Bay or Detroit. It was said he went south to redeem his lost thousands. It was the most remarkable footrace ever held in the world, and were the news papers of that day what they are now columns uion columns of its report would have followed. As it is, this is, I believe, the first time it ha3 been in print." A Remedy In Kidney Affection.

On Wednes day evening the city council will act on the Railroad franchises asked for by the Union and Northern Pacific companies. The situation is a pe culiar one. Railroad avenue is but a hundred and twenty feet wide, and ninety-eight feet has already been granted to the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern and to tho Great North ern. For the other twenty two feet three roads are bidding: the Fairhaven & Southern, tho Union Pacific aud the Northern Pacific. The Columbia & Pnget Sound also wants the right of way on the avenue. The probability is that the council will propose to the two roads now holding a franchise that they go into a terminal company with the other roads, and if they refuse to do this, will revoke their franchise.
