INAUGURATION OF DOLE.
first Governor of Hawaii Takes tha
Oath -of Office.
Honolulu. Juno 14. 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. Dolo, first execu
tive of tho now American territory,
was Inaugurated. 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. Tho day was a very hot

JAPAN IS ANGRY.
Jler KoroHii Proteged Victim of a Prl
vntn HlrniielliiB I'arly.
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. Morita,
who copied the article, received tho
samo punishment, and tho man who
set up the tpyo, was condomned to
eight months' imprisonment, a flno of
60 yon and six mouths' pulico survoil

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. Nominally
quotations at Pittsburg are unchanged.
Wheat, including flour, shipment
for the week aggregate 3,184,144 bush
els, against 4,646,180 bushels last
week.
Failures for tho week number 185,
as compared with 1G7 last week.
Failures in the Dominion of Canada
number 18, as compared with 28 last
week.
