CHAPTER IX.
CONTINUED.
Had I wished, I could have donned
a uniform, and become an officer, but
with peace at hand I did not care for
empty military honor. Moreover, I
wanted all my time to bo free, that
I might bo untrammeled in my now
seemingly hopeless investigation into
the mysteries of my beautiful sister’s
disappearance. It was understood,
however, that if at any time my ser
vices were needed, or the army was to
be increased, a commission should bo
mine.
I took very little interest in any¬
thing save the ono great object of my
existence—to find ray sister Winnie.
Yet mingling daily, as I did, with men
whose minds were full of tho revolu¬
tion, I could not be blind to the needs
of tho hour. When Gordon’s duties
took him away from Honolulu I ao
coinpanicd him, if I was not
up a clue that might lead to tho dis¬
covery of Winnie.
At tho town of Hilo, on the island
of Hawaii, Gordon had a fortress
built which commanded the situation
in the harbor—the only good one at
that islaad. Aud at Lahainn, a small
settlement on the island of Maui, an
other fortress was built. There
Beetned to mo no need for this, but
Gordon pointed out the excellence of
the place as a stragotic point in case
of invasion.
Hilo was not far from the great vol¬
cano of Manna Loa. and it seemed
probable that if the old mountain kept
on vo .niting lava many years longer as
fiercely ns it ha l in times past, the
town would ho destroyed. As it was
located in n beautiful spot, particular¬
ly healthful, it was deemed a foolish
carelessness to allow the destruction,
if it could he avoided. Gordon male
a note of his observations, and pro¬
posed, when we returned to Honolulu,
to suggest, to the government that
Bomething be done to protect tho town
from the molten flow, if it ever reached
that far.
We also visited the island of Molo¬
kai, and went to tho leper colony.
The horrors of this disease had
never before beeu known to me. 1
knew it was terrible. I knew that
words could hardly express its terrors.
But when I saw it in all its putrefying,
death-dealing reality, I shuddered
and turned sick.
The poor creatures who were far on
their torturing roa 1 to death looked al
us piteously. A wail, a prayer, a plea
for some kind of help seemed to be in
evory glance and every gesture. Yet
there was no help to give. All thej
could do wa3 to wait thero, growing
more hideous in their infirmity, day
by day, until death carao to release
them from their awful sufferings.
I thought of Doctor Warren and his
noble efforts in behalf of these poor
aeouraed wretches. But in vain would
ho work while he lived. There was
no help, no cure. Yet Warren hoped
and worked and prayed. This was
tho oursa and, now that tho rale of
evil was over, the only blot on the
beauty of Hawaii.
Gordon and I vhite 1 Kauai, another
of tho larger islands, and instituted a
most careful search and inquiry among
the peoplo. Now and then our hopes
being aroused by what we would think
was a cluo, only to bare thorn dashed
to pieces in the deepening darkness
of tho mystery. Then we returned to
Honolulu.
All this, of course, took some time.
Things had gone well in Oahu during
our absence, aud every industry ol
the island seemed developing and im¬
proving. From time to time friendly
messages had been received from the
Unitod States, and the future seemed
secure and bright.
Then the new3 came of a change oi
administration.
Tho Republicans, we knew, had
been defeated in the election in Nov¬
ember, and, of course, we understood
that on March 4th tho Democratic
President would be inaugurated. Bui
we did not look upon this as inimical
to our interests. To us in Honolulu,
the word American meant everything.
Party names meant nothing. A Re¬
publican was an American, no was a
Democrat. Therefore, the policy ol
America in Honolulu having been in¬
dorsed by one party of Americans at
home would naturally find favor with
another party of the same sort.
What was our chagrin and fear when
we learned that President C'cvoland
had declared against us.
Captain Wiltse, of the Boston, died.
Commissioner Blonntwith letters ol
power from Cleveland and Secretary
Gresham arrived on tho Rush, and
Admiral Skerrit assumed comma 1 .d Oi
the American forcea in Hawaiian
waters.
Minister Stevens was recalle 1 and
censured by Cleveland’s administra¬
tion for “unwarrantable inter vontioa”
and "au abuse of power as the repre¬
sentative oi the United Htales.”
Commissioner Blount at once ns
Buuied a hostile attitude toward Dole's
government, aud began collecting evi¬
dence in favor of the queeu. Certain
men, who had been powerful under
the ex-gncHu’s rule, and who had
hoped to gain by her ascendancy,
poured their poisoned words into
Blount’s ear natil their opinions as¬
sumed, in the mind of the commis¬
sioner, the dimer sions of the will of
the majority. So between Blount and
his acjvjsers, President Cleveland was

Thou Blount went home, Ministei
illis came, and Admiral Irwin as
suuvvl command of the American
forces. Disorder came with them.
I was silting on tho porch one day,
4 haring making just and returned talking from to Uncle fruitless Tom,
a
search after a slight clew of Winnio’s
whereabouts, wheu Gordon dashed
up. Leaving his horse in tho one of
in attendant, ho joined ns.
“There’s the deuce to pay!”ho said.
“ That ’.4 -ip now?” I asked.
“Why, Willis is running things to
’’lit- himself. Blount, it appears, in
his report, made Liliuokalani tho em¬
bodiment of all the graces, who had
been shamefully abused and put down
by a horde of riotous ruffians who had
ao iuterer.t in older. Think of it!
When the American League owns
more than three-fifths of the cultivat¬
ed land. I hid a conference with
Ode to-day. Ho in terribly worked
up. Blount came simply to coileci
ivider.ee to destroy Dole’s government,
vid yet he came in a friendly guise.”
“What has actually been clone?’’ J
asked.
“Willis sent a communication da
mnnding Mo the restoration of the queen.

government thiliuokalnni stop down and out and
resume control. More
;h.vi that-, he has had an interview
with tho queen aud offered to restore
uer to thethronoandtouso the Unitod
States forces to do it.”
“fncredible! Would they dare?”
“He says they will do it. Dole will
not submit. He says he will fight
first. We have at least 3000 able
bodied men who will tako up arms.
But I hope it whl not come to that.
But if it does, you will havo a chance
So wear a uniform.”
“I do not aspire to military honors
hut if it stands between Liliuokalani,
opium and misrule on one side, against
war ou the other, I am ia for war. It
could be no worse if wo were beaten.”
“No. Nothing could bo worse than
to bo under tho queen, with her new
constitution, or, rather, no constitu¬
tion.”
“It doos not seem possible,” said
my uncle, “that the United States
Government could stoop to so undig¬
nified a position. If Willis’s propo¬
sition is earried out, as Dole and I
attempted to tell him yesterday, it
will mean death and rain to us all. I
have said little to Tom about it. Poor
fellow! He has enough on his niind
now. But th9 position, is very seri¬
ous. The queen has declared that il
she regains her power she will cause
the loaders of Liberals to be beheaded
aud confiscate their property. That,
of oourse, means Dole, Warren, Sel¬
don, Seacamp and myself, not to speak
of the many others. And no doubt
Gordon would go first of all, on ac¬
count of his action when tho qneen
expected the army to stand by her.”
Gordon patted his sword.
“Some of the queen’s gaug of ruffi¬
ans had bettor take care, or they will
go before I do.”
"It remains to be seen,” continued
my uncle, “whether Willis is simply
harking or if ho is really going to bite.
He may be bluffing, to scare us. But we
shall not be forced outof our position.
Dole is firm ou that point. So am I.
If they crowd us to the wall wo must
fight.”
Uncle Tom set his teeth hard and
turned away. I asked Gordon, as I
asked him every time I saw him, if he
had news of Winnie.
“No,” he said, sadly, yet savagely,
“not a word. But it cannot go on
like this forever. Surely there is news
to be lmd, if wo can only strike the
right trail. Sharp, the lieutenant in
charge he had at Magi, ctuo, reports that he thought
a but it came to nothing.
Ia Hawaii they are overhauling every
town and village. If we could only
get some of these dod-rotted natives
to help us wo would learn something,
but they are with the qneen, mostly,
and if they know anythiug, l?eep their
months well shut.”
It was thus always. I was growing
ill under the awful suspense. Yet 1
could not give np hope.
CHAPTER X.
The direot result of the advent ol
Willis and the declaration of his pur¬
pose those wa-i lawless tho elements nttoj, demoralization that had of
here¬
tofore beeu kept in check by the power
of tho government and a fear of pun¬

ed by a strange affairs. aud disturbing con¬
dition of
We, the Liberals, holding the reins
of government-, were at war, figura¬
tively, with the Royalists on ono hand,
and the United States—the very power
we depended upon to befriend ns—on
tho other. The Royalists, seeing their
advantage ly in the presence of a friend¬
fdreo, became menacing and bold.
Buildiugs were burned, fired by mis
tsreants at night, and placards left pro¬
claiming the supremacy of royalty.
Whether tho3e outrages we com¬
mitted by persons of good standing
iu the Royalist ranks, or by lawless
people glad to seize npon any pretext
to give free rein to their depredatory
proclivities, I do not know. But it'ii
certain that under the impetus given
to lawlessness by the strange attitude
assumed by the United States minis
ter, Honolnln was kept in a horrible
condition of nnrost. We of theAmer
icau League did not kaovf what mo-

WRIGHTSVILLE. GA„ FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1900.
moit the gang of the United States
ships would open on us.
'There was one hitch.
President Cleveland had insisYed
that Qneen Liliuokalani grant general
amnesty when she became reseated
on her throns, This she refused to
do. She ffcubhornly insisted that
Dole aud all other members of the
government should be beheaded.
Willis stood appalled before this
menace, and moved neither backward
nor forward,
And chaos reigned.
A sold'a:- was struck down by a
stone, thrown by an adherent of the
queen. Gordon soon brought tho
culprit to justice.
The ladies of American families
wero terror-stricken and -4 remained
secluded, as they wero continually in¬
sulted if they ventured out.
Tho true condition of affairs was so
distorted in the minds of the Royalists,
that tho more ignorant among them
thought they would have the protec¬
tion of tho United States in any act
directed against the provisional gov*
ernment.
Captain Jobbs had uttered incendi¬
ary words aud bad been dismissed
from the service. lie hung arouud
Honolulu for a few days and then dis¬
appeared.
Some person set fire to the Nunauu
Hotel, and it was burned to the
ground before the laggard fire depart¬
ment got to work. I never saw a
more exasperated man than Seacamp.
I saw him a day or two after the fire,
at the head of a lot of workmen, tear¬
ing away tho charred ruins of his onco
famous inn.
“What are you up to?” I asked.
“Going to'rebuild thoNuuanu?”
“No, sir!” he almost roared. “I
Ain not going to rebuild tho Nuuamt.
The Nuuauu is gono forever. No
more shall a hotel of mine boar that
heathen name. But I am going to
build a hotel, and I am going to call
it Tho American. Yes, sir. The
American. Wo’ll see how the blamed
niggers like that. And if they burn
it down, I’ll build another, Lot the
eagle scream! Beat the drums? Let
the eagle scream? He is muzzled just
now but he’ll scream again. Don’t
you worry about that. ”
iSeaeamp’a patriotism was earnest
and true, but somewhat inflammatory
in its nature.
A few days after this I mot Gordon
in town.
"I was going to hunt you up,” lis
laid. There was a look of oagornoss
on his face.
“Have you heard anything?” I
isked, anxiously.
“Not definite. I recaivod word
from a scout, just, a few minutes ago,
that a baud of natives were encamped
»t the extremo end of tho valley, and
were performing some of their
old-time deviltries—idols, sacrifices
And all that. There is going to be a
groat dance to-night, and a sacrifice
offered to the goddess Pele, or some
other heathen deity, to obtain help in
restoring the queen. Wo will tako a
file of soldiers and witness that affair,
and see who is to be sacrificed. Tin*
daughter of a Portuguese sailor is miss¬
ing, aud a French girl who was a ser¬
vant in in the family of Mr. Seldon.
Tho fanatics must havo one of these
or Winnie. Whoever it is, we will
save her.”
With about twenty soldiers we
started off up the Nuuanu Valley. We
traveled as rapidly as our horses could
carry us. The soldiers were mounted
on horses from a livery stable, the
popular .idea among those who saw us
start off being that we were a scout¬
ing party looking for bidden enemies.
At the end, or rather the beginning
of tho Nuuanu Valley, it opens out
into a wide plain bordered by forests.
It was moonlight when we reached the
place. Not a living thing, human or
beast, oould be seen.
“We will leave ouf horses here in
charge of four men, aud go through
the woods to Lake Maliwai,” said Gor¬
don.
Cautiously we mado our way through
the trees. Wo wanted to surprise tho
camp,
“There they are,” whispered a sol¬
dier, pointing to an opening in tho
thick growth of bushes and trees
around us. Through ft we co.pJd see
a camp, ou the border of tho lake.
Stealthily wo took our positions to
watch.
We looked upon a strange, fascinat¬
ing, horrible scene.
A group of natives, probably two
hundred in all, sat or squatted upon
their haunches, in a largo semicircle,
in tho center of which burned a fire.
On either side of tho lire was a hideous
idol or heathen god. These gods,
while still holding a mysterious power
in the minds of tho older natives, had
of late been seldom seen. There may
have been, perhaps,fifty or a hundred
of them in Honolulu, but they were
closely guarded by their possessors.
These horrible extravaganzas in wood
and lava-stone were supposed to be
omnipotent.
Under tho unusual excitement that
had existed so long in Hawaii, all tho
old superstitions were revived, and
the natives descended to their former
level of idolaters and stone-worship¬
ers.
“Keep quiet,” said Gordgkrlto the
soldiers. “Let ns watch them.”
There were men, women and a few
children. But little clothing was worn.
The fanaticism under which they were
working had discarded clothes.
The entire crowd were putting their
bodies through various methodical con¬
tortions,all in unison, and they chanted
a weird, solemn dirge that had not
been heard ia Oahu for many years
before.

BRYAN BY ACCLAMATION
-
Democrats Nominate Nebraskan for
Head of National Ticket.
PARTY CHOICE RATIFIED
Committee On Resolutions Re¬
port Platform Which Was
Adopted Unanimously.
Hon, W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska,
was named by acclamation for presi¬
dent of the United States at Thurs¬
day’s session oi the Democratic nation¬
al convention at Kansas City.
The report of the platform commit¬
tee was read and adopted.
The presentation of Bryan’s name
and the announcement of his nomina¬
tion were greeted by outburts of the
same character as that of the night be¬
fore when Chairman llichardeon first
mentioned his name to tho convention.
HON. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
Unanimously Nominated as the Democratic Candidate for President
of the United States.
Chairman Richardson called con¬
vention to order at 11:03 Thursday
morning, and pending a wait on report
of committee on resolutions, speech¬
making was the order.
At 12:47 the convention adjourned
until 3:30.
It was not until 4 o’clock, however,
that Chairman Richardson, turning
Irom a conference with Governor Mc¬
Millan and Senator White, rapped the
convention to order. The platform
committee, headed by Senator Joues,
D. J. Campean, Senator Tillman aud
Judge Van Wyck, had just pushed
their way through the dense throngs
and proceeding to the platform had
taken seats flanking the chairman. Mr.
Richardson appealed long and vainly
for order. The portly form of Senator
Jones, silver haired and serious, ad¬
vanced to the front of the stage and
in a clear voice he announced that
Senator Tillman would read tho docu¬
ment.
A dramatic incident of the day was
presented when Webster Davis, of Mis¬
souri, until recently Republican as¬
sistant secretary of the interior, made
announcement of his purpose to vote
for and support the Democratic nomi¬
nee for tho presidency. The Davis
speech was the great surprise of the
day. Nobody know it was coming.
In announcing his intention of sup¬
porting the Democratic party and its
ticket, Mr. Davis said with great em¬
phasis:
“I stand upon this platform and
shall support William J. Bryan.”
As Mr. Davis concluded the band
struck up “Hail to tho Chief,” and
while it was rendering the air lie held
au impromptu reception upon the
platform.
When a few degrees of the noise
had been silenced, he said:
“The next business of the conven¬
tion is the nomination of a candidate
for president of the United States. Tho
secretary will call the roll of states,”
ROPE IS ABANDONED.
Department Official* In Waihliifton Fear
American* Are Dead.
The state department confesses it
fears the reports received from Admiral
Kempff and others do not show the
actual state of conditions in Pekin aud
other points in China. It is now be¬
lieved at the state and navy depart¬
ments that the foreign representatives,
including tho American consul at Pe¬
kin, have been murdered by tho ro
vpJting Chinese.
CALLING FOB NOMINATIONS.
“Alabama!” the secretary then shout¬
ed, commencing the cal: of the roll.
“The state of Alabama,” said the
chairman of the delegation of that
state, “yields to Nebraska the privilege
of namiug tho next president of the
United States,”
W. D. Oldham, of Nobraska, then,
in an eloquent speech, presented tlio
name of Mr. Bryan to the convention,
Mr. Oldham closed as follows:
“With tho issues now clearly drawn,
no doubt remaius as to the name of
our candidate. On that question we
are a reunited Democracy.
“Already worthy allies differing
from ns rather in name than faith
shouted for our gallant leader
again, aud every state and territory
has instructed its delegates to this
convention to vote for him here. So
it only remains for Nebraska to pro¬
nounce the name that has been thun¬
dered forth from the foot of Bunker
Hill, and echoed back from Sierra’s
sunset slope, and that reverberates
among tho pine-clad snow-capped hills
of the north, and rises up from the
slumbering flower-scented savannahs
of the south; and that name is the
name of William Jennings Bryan, her
best loved sou.”
The nomination was seco nded by
David B. Hill, of New York, E. B.
Perkins, of Dal’as, Texas, Tenna»t
Lomax, of Alabama, W. B. Moore, of
North Carolina, Senator Daniel, of
Virginia, David Overmeyir.of Ohio,' Kansas,
W. C. Baker, of Ex Governor
Pattison, of Pennsylvania, Governor
Benton McMillin, of Tennessee, and
others.
A ringing cheer followed the call of
“Hawaii," and when John n. Wise, of
that delegation, rose tho convention
demanded that he take the platform,
which he did amid great applause.
“Gentlemen of the convention,” he
said, “the delegates of Hawaii have
come 4,000 miles to attend this con
vention, and last night she cast the
winning vote for 16 to 1 in the com
mitteo meeting.”
Mrs. Cohen, of Utah, came next and
was received with terrific applause.
She seconded the nomination of Mr.
Bryan in behalf of Utah, her speech
concluding the nominating speeches.
As the roll call proceeded the shouts
of approval of the unanimity of tho
vote seemed to increaso.
Iho list .... of states . and , territories , ,, . was
completed with the calling of the ter
nU>ry of Hawaii.

LEGATION SAFE
ON JULY THIRD
A Ray of Rope Is Kindled By
Later News From China.
JAPAN IS AUTHORIZED TO ACT
Powers Agree to Give Her a Free
Hand, Full Co-Operation and
Pay to Whip the Chinese.
The London foreign office has issued
tho text of a telegram from Acting
Consul General Warren, at Shanghai,
confirming from thoroughly trust¬
worthy souri’s the news from Pekin
by. courier JY iy 3d, by way of Shang¬
hai, to the London office of the in¬
spectorate of Chinese maritime cus¬
toms, saying two legations were, the
day the courier left, holding out
against the Chinese and boxers and
that the troops had lost 2,000 men
and the boxers many leaders.
CONSUL OOODNOW OOFIRM8 REPORTS.
A cablegram was received at the
state department at Washington Sat¬
urday morning from Consul General
Goodnow at Shanghai dated July 7th,
saying that the legations were stand¬
ing on the 3d instant and that the re¬
cent attack of the boxers had been
comparatively slight. They seemed
disposed to adopt starvation methods.
One certain effect of Consul General
Ooodnow’s dispatch will be to cause
the officials here, aud without doubt,
the European governments,to rebonblo
their exertions to push forward a force
to Pekin. The main hope for speedy
action is still in Japan.
According to the Japanese legation
in Washington, which has Into advices
from Tokio, 22,000 soldiers are now
on Chinese soil. If this report is true,
then the Japanese government has ac¬
complished much more than was ex¬
pected and the officials here see no
reason why the advance on Pekin
soould ntd begin immediately. It is
said that Japan is not' expected to
make this campaign single-handed.
The international forces at Taktt and
Tien Tsin will co-operate to the ut¬
most with the Japanese army corps ia
tho movement on Pekin. What, form
that co-operation shall take is not
known yet; such (lotails are left to the
commanders in the field. It is said
Japan is to be compensated for th#
work she is nbout to undertake in the
common cause. Her military prepara¬
tions are very extensive and the cam¬
paign is certain to involve heavy cost,
It would be unjust to expect Japan to
meet this herself. She has no mis¬
sionaries in Chino, and consequently
is perhaps less interested selfishly
than any of the powers in the terrible
happenings in Shau '1 *n ; and Pekin.
CORBIN BEADY TO SEND TROOPS.
As a result of the thorough consid¬
eration of the subject by the secretary
of war, Lieutenant General Miles and
adjutant General Corbin, orders were
issued by the war department Satur
