Tho last of tho throo groat epoch-making ovonts in the history of tho annexation of the Hawa iian islands to the United Statos of Ameiica took place this morning, when Governor Sanford U.

Tho oath of offlco was delivered on the spot that was the sccno of tho othor two ovonts tho roadlng of tho all-important proclama tion of 1803, and tho flag-raising of 1808. Governor Dolo was sworn and spoko to tho people of Hawaii from tho steps of the building whero seven years ago ho uppoured as tho leader, and wero for tho first time an actual begin ning was mado in negotiations with the American government for annexation. The palace that has become famous all over America on account of its con nection with the history of Hawaii and the history of Amorica's first oxperl mont in expansion, waa decorated as in 1808. It was ablaze with the red, whlto and bluo and crowded with peo ple. The Stars and Stripos wero every where, and they made brilliant all tho grandstands, and a hugo Ameiican flag floated on tho stuff above. As usual 'in alt large gatherings in Honolulu, thero was a great variety oi races. Whites, natives, Chinese, Jap aneso and I'ortuguoso wero together, though tho whites and natives outnum bered all others by far, and the whites woro a majority over all. The natives wero woll represented, however, both in the throng that crowded around the steps of tho building to hear the gover nor, and among thoso who occupied places insido tho building and tho places of honor on either side of the central stand.

Vancouver, 1J C, Juno 30. Accord ing to Oriental advices, tho Japanese government is very angry at the secret execution of General An Kyeng Su and Kwou Young Chin, former cabinet ministers ot tho Korean government, und leaders of tho progressive party, who wero privately strangled in the Seoul prison as traitors on the night of Muy 27. Iloth were concerned in tho plot which culminated in tho assas sination oi Queen Miu at Seoul in 1805. For the past four years they had been rofugcos in Japan and who had teturn od to Korea under tho protection of the Japaueso minister. Despito this chap eronage, they wero tortured into mak ing a full confession, where then beat en and strangled and their bodies ex posed ht traitors at tho big bell and af terward drawn and quartered. The Jupuneso minister tried to prevent the execution, but was refused audience with the Korean king on account of tho latter's alleged illness. All of tho Korean officers connected with tho death ot Kwon and An havo boon sentenced to transportation and havo already been sent into exilo, tho latter proceeding being an attempt on tho part of tho Korean king to appease the Japanese government, which had demanded an explanation from Korea. This explanation has boon tendered by tho Korean minister of foreign uffairs, but is not satisfactory to Japan. Tho Japanese journalists who pub lished an objectionable articlo concern ing tho crown prince and his bride have paid clearly for their lolly. Tho Tokio local court rejeoted tho plea oi insanity sot up on behalf of the editor and sentenced him to throo and a half years' imprisonment with hard labor and a flno of 120 yon, as woll as police surveillance for ono year.

IN THE MINING WORLD Value of a Knowledge of Geology to the Prospector, (Dt Earl Dotigla, University of Montana.) Tho study of tho romalns of plant and animal llfo that havo existed in past ages is like history, astronomy, fossil languages, politics and all other branches of human knowledge; it is mighty interesting when one gota in terested in it. But it is extremely dif ficult to get very deoply ineterested in something that wo know nothing about. Thero are so many branches of knowl edge that ono cannot know everything, liut the subject on which I am asked to write is, I bolievo, of vital interest to the miner and prospector, though our knowledge of it was not doveloped for their spocial benefit, but because of the interest and fascination of tho sub ject itself. Though I never spent a week in searh of mineral voins, I havo a fellow feeling for the prospector, in the first place, there is a charm in outdoor life in tramping over tho hills and moun tains and through tho deep ravines and rooky canyons; in going into camp tired enough to mako rest sweet, and hungry enough to devour with the keenest relish tho ham, bacon, coffee, flapjacks and anything oho that hap pens to come along that is eatable; and in sleeping in the pure air under tho blue tent of the sky with the whisper ing of the pines and the varied voices of the mountain streams to charm away worldly cares and lull to Bleep. It seems so good not to have to wear stylish clothes, especially if ono has none to wear; to be whero thero is no fear of trespassing on any man's land, and to fear nobody's dog; to feel that tho world is yours as much as any body's, and whatever riches you may find buried in its treasure house you can call your own. The prospector descends into the dark mine, submitting himself to slavery awhile that he may "grub stake" himself and bo a free man for tho rest of tho year and have a prospect of "striking something rich" and be coming asjwealthy or more wealthy than his employer. The mine owner is much the same kind of a man, but ho has tho advantage in having more money to start with, and is looking for a place whero ho can invest his money in a "good proposi tion" and get richer. With both mine owner and prospec tor intelligence and judgment are need ed. It is true that sometmes thoso who have loarnod little from books and nothing from experience have blun dered onto rich leads; but if the truth were summed up I think it would ap pear that a very largo percentage of good mines have been found by men of experience, who have worked in mines, have seen and handled the oros and have observed the rock in which they occur. I firmly believe, too, that a man's chances of finding tho treas ures hid in tho eaith would be in creased many fold by adding to his ex perience that of other men, by study ing tha mode of occurrence of ores, the rook formations in which they occur in fact, the "better knowledge of geology and mineralogy he possesses and tho better his power of observation and judgment tho better his chances of success. The same holds true of tho dealer in mining property. It is true that these sciences aro large ones, but it is just as true that the chances of failure without the nocessary knowl edge are fully as large. If a sick man, ignorant of tho properties of drugs, were turned looso in an apothecary's shop he might blunder onto something that would help him, but the chances would bo against him. We need not bo scared by tho voluminous books on geology with their frightful looking names. There are simple, interesting hooks, giving the most important in formation, and written especially for prospectors and mining men, and for tho understanding of them no previous knowledge of geology and mineralogy arp needed. These may lead to deeper study lator. But someono will say that certain minerals have been found whoro no experienced prospector would searoh and where geologists havo said they cannot occur. The trouble is, n old minor cornea from California, co Montana and begins to look for gold here. He knows just how the rock looks in which the oro occurs wheie ho mined in California, and ho is looking for the samo kind of rock and the samo looking ore, but ho probably will not find it. An old Montana miner goes to Colorado and meets with tho same disappointment. His views of the oc currence of ores aro too narrow. Tho preoioua metals occur iu many differ ent kinds of rock and under a great variety of conditions; and one would havo to know the geology of the wholo world to know all tho conditions in which they occur; yet there aro certain underlying truths that, if understood, will vastly increase tho chances of suc cess and save not only many years but many llfo times. Many biother geolo gistsperhaps I ought to say uncle ge ologists, for I think they aro of the gen- oration that is passing away have studied a certain region and have judcrd all the world by that. I might whisper to you, too, that not all who talk and write on geologioal subjects know just what they aro talking about, and I havo no doubt you have thought of that before reading this article.

BRADSTREET'S REPORT. fit Distributive Trad Is Seaaoaafcly Dull. Bradsireet's says: Distributive trad is dull, seasonably so in most in- stances, and ptices of manufactured, products are generally weak, but ex ceptions to the former are found whom crop conditions aro exceptionally prora-j ising and in the olaso of prices when tho readjusting movement has been overdono on tho down side. Tho upward rush of wheat price oulminntod at tho close of last wcolc and the reactions and tho irregularities sinco, mainly due to heavy realizing,, would mainly point to tho movomonti having boon temporarily at least over dono. Advices from the North aro of little moro than half a crop of wheat, but estimates as to the outturn in bush els vary accordingly as the government reports of 810,000,000 bushels, or tber commercial estimate of 200,000,000 bushels in yield last year in the three) states are used as a basis. i Sugar is at the highest price reached! at this time for 10 years past, owing w tho active canning demand and tber strengthened position of raw. The war in China is chargeable wit' tho advance in teas, not only from tiio former' country, but from Japan, somer interruption in transportation boina apparently looked for if the As'iatiof trouble increases. Heavy rains ore complained of in th entire cotton belt east of the Mississip pi river, and tho crop is generally "la tho grass." Reports from the iron and steel trada aro as pessimistic as ever.
