Tf V^L. VII. CAROLINA AT THE CAPI TAL. A LiirjfO Contingent Apponi'H at The White House. TNowk and Courier, Washington, March 22.?Spe cial: South Carolina was numerously represented among the callers at the House to uay, Senator Butler was the first arri\al and with him whs Mr. Li^otfmb, who wants to be collector of internal revenue. There was such a crowd in the President's room at the time that Senator Butler could only introduce Mr. Lips comb and tell the President briefly thatjhe wished to be considered among' the applicants for the office. The President said he was not ready to proceed with the consideration of the South Carolina appointments at this timr, but expressed his pleasure at moving Mr. Lipscomb. Senator Butler was soon followed by Representative Braw ley and ExRepresentative John J. Hemphill with Mr, W. O. Bradley, who desires to be appointed fifth auditor of the treasury, Mr. Bradley seemed to ? make a very favorable impression upon the President, who said that thOjSeeretary of the Treasury would be consulted before any of the departmental appointments are agreed upon. Senator Irby also saw the President for a few minutes in regard'to the United States marshal ship. When all of the other South Carolinians had departed Representative-elect Murray was admitted to see the President, and he took occasion to present to tho President an address commending the patriotism of the President and suggesting a line of conduct toward tho colored brother of the South. After complimentary references to Mr. Cleveland and tribute to tho loyalty of the negro Murray said; "The inauguration of a President of your political faith has always been regaidod by the great mass of colored people throughout the South with alarming apprehensions, and you now have an opportunity to perform an act of patriotism whose farreaching influence and effect would stand next to the great emancipation proclamation. Should you utilize the occasion to force upon us the conviction that the change of Administration from Republican to Democratic rule does not mean special harm to us, such conviction would crush forever the present formation of political parties in the South, wipe out in great measure political fraud and murder, murder, and cause the reorganization of parties in the wake of principle ami not race. As political olllce is the highest insignui of c tizenship, intelligent black men seek it more as a shield of protection than for the greed of emolument, for very many interpret the denial of office to them t a, to mean that they are less than other *L" "classes of citizens and may be mal treated and outraged with impunity just as lust might crate, prejudice dictate or selfish greed demand." The President acknowledged the kind expressions of Mr. Murray, and the la^^Lloft the White House ''on very gowc terms with himself." Following is an official list of the South Carolinians who have formally anplied for appointments under the Secretary of the Treasurr: George D. Bryan, collector of the port of Chprleston. d. M. Coffin, of Charleston, wants to be deputy comptroller of ihe currency. James Rogers, of Abbeville, chief of a division in the department. T. Stobo Farrow wants to be an * auditor. III. D.

St. Louis',Republic. j Regarding the mission to Hawaii of Commissioner Blount and the policy of the administration toward that country, the Evening Post says in a Washington special; There is the best reason for believing that the present administration will take a good while to make up its ! mind what to do, or whether to do anything at all. There is not likely to be another move of any importance during the present year, unless circumstances now unforeseen render some positive action on the part of the United States necessary. The American naval force on the spot is ileemed "amply ^suflicient to preserve order, and to protect' even British property, so'as to / afford no excuse for the visit of a formidable British forco to the-islands. Olio reason why Mr. Blount was chosen for tho delicate duty of visiting the ground and reporting the situation is that he is not at all ?n impulsive man. His mind works slowly and his conclusions are thought out item by item It is significant also t hat he is one of the anti-annexation Southerners who will have to be won around by the logic ot existing conditions it tie changes his present views. Should the royal party on tho islands re-assert itself and prove strong enough to wrest the Government from its yrovisional keepers, it is believed here that the Cleveland administration would not turn its hand over to prevent or interfere beyond what was necessary for the preservation of tho rights of the white immigrant clement in the population One thing which it is whispered ' Mr. Blount has been instructed to do is to ascertain tho practicability of a popular election to determine whether tho majority of the JIawaiians, of ( all classes, tire in favor of continuing < the dynasty in power or of a republican form of government and an- . negation to some stronger nation. In i case such an election should develop ' a marked desire for the latter course, 1 the administration might be inclined i to modify its present impressions, , which arc obviously not favorable to annexation on general principles. If the tendency should be the other way, the annexation scheme is liktly < to go to sleep for another for years. The lluwulln IhIiiiuIh. One of tiik Sights of Hawaii.

You traverse two miles of this uncanny region before reaching the chaotic tind horrific pit of Halemaumau, the fancied abode of the fire-goddess l'ele, Tho scene here at night is indescribably weired. Seated upon an overhanging cliff one can watch the surging waves of lire seething to tho months of the yawning chasms whose depths aro in tho hollowr of the earth's liery heart.

The almost universal garment of the Ifuwaiin woman is a long, colored cotton gown, resembling a "Moth er Hubbard,'' which was improvised bv the first missionaries to the Islands us a temporary resource, and has remained in vogue ever since.

Washington, March 21.- Spe cial.?It is said that Prosideht Clove land lias decided to call an extra session of Congress alient the 1st of September?possibly earlier. His purpose in doing so is to give more time for the preparation of a tariff bill, in order that it may go into effect on .1 nly 1, 1894. The President talked tlio matter over with Mr. Springer, chairman of the ways and means committee of the House, and notified them of his intention to call the extra session not later than the 1st of September. His object in doing so is to repeal the Mckinley law and substitute for it a Democratic tariff measure in accordance with the Chicago platform. It is also stated that tho President expects Congress, soon after its meeting, to repeal the Sherman silver law and enact some substitute legislation. A .ll'DGKSHir FOIl II KM 1*111 LL.

Barely indeed is nature in a mood of lavish display like that to which this winter she has abandoned herself at Niagara. The scene about the great cataract is sublime, and it is unique. Other aspects of nature in other quarters of our wonderful earth may present pictures of beauty and grandeur* But their very permanence, whether in mountain or forest, or sea, robs them of a certain fasernation which wo feel in looking upon this fleeting splendor with which winter has clothed Niagar. If every recurrence of the season of frost brought the same conditions, we might not be so moved by them. But not once in a decade is there vouchsafed to us so grand a spectacle a glimps so suggestive of the arm of ino. 'O The AmcricHii Fall is 1G4 foot high, and piled up before it, so that the sound of its thunder is muffed, is a huge luiricr of ice. Between the incline 1 railrway and the edge of the fall a round Bill of ice rises, quite 100 feet in height, white and glassy. Farther along and nearly opposite Luna Island rises another mound of solid ice and snow, quite 125 feet in height and of immenso thickness. Between these are other hills and hammocks only less majes tic. Near the foot of the Horseshoe, on the Goat Island side, is a dome of ice, some 200 feet long and wide hundreds of icicles hanging from its under side. These are but the prominent fen tures of the ice formations- As one enters Prospeok Park, or walks through Goat Island toward the brink of the fall, the trees present the appearance of trees anywhere in winter. But once get to Pros pect Point, and look back, or to the walk that leads ovor the Horseshoe Bocks from Goat Island, and look up, and every tree stands out pure white. The ice takes on tho texture 0 Your Country." MA.KCH 30T 1 S<) of (ho special tree to which it clings. If it is uti elm or chestnut, the ice shows the creases of the elm's or chestnut's hark; if it bo a maple, or beech, or ash, the ico is smooth and ! polished. Everything stands out j glistening, and where the spray has formed on spruce and pine it has i irraduallv taken the shano of the! I C -? w l - ~ evergreen feathery fronds, and the tree looks like a strange exotic, the production of a botanist delighting in fantastic growths Perhaps the most complete view of all that combines to make Niagara splendid in winter may be had from the stairs leading from (lout Island to Luna Island. Looking over the railing otic may catch a glimpse of the great fishnros or wells of ice, into which the river pours* its divided torrents, with the wind ami spray Heating against tlie scarred inner walls of the barrier, while jets and clouds of mist shoot upward and are borne away by the wind to rain down and freeze again on the crust of the iec mountains beyond. At a distance beyond the American Fall, is Prospect Point, with no black moving specks of humanity. Hack of the glistening trees is the sky as purely blue as ever it bent over \ omcc or Florence, while-be tweon, rising from the misty cavern at the fall's foot, and arching up ward across the river across the dumb of ire clan 1 trees, against the deep blue of the sky, and fading away just under the gibous moon, is u bow of the richest prismatic lanes, now depending, now becoming faint, as the spray is blown this way ami that. Such is the scene, not always with the moon as feature of it, at Niagara in the clear afternoon when the ntmostphcre softens and subdues all the hues. A Question oi 4'lioicn. Phi Ittdc/fthia Times: Whether from their natural egotism, or owing to tho custom of thought men generally believe that every single woman in the world is only waiting for a chance to marry, and that out side of that goal of life is colorless and vanid to her. Now. for unco. 1 'V" ?' nil wise man is mistake". Marriage is not the one aim ami object in the life of the woman of to-day, though every purely feminine heart beats a little faster at the thought of domestic bliss and matrimonial joys that may come to her through marriage with some good man . That is only natural, but the man must be worthy to be acceptable. The oldtime false idea about sour old maids has practically died out, and many sensible women prefer to live single to the end of their days in anatmosphero of cheerful content rather than ally themselves to any man who asks them, simply to avoid being called that wretched minomer. Our progressive sisters have learned many ways of taking care of themselves that make them practically independent of man's support; therefore, they must better their condition before joining hands, bofore the altar with the first masculmo who does them the honor of proposing to them. It is a broad and sweeping assertion, hut a true one, nevertheless, that no woman lives, no matter how scrawny or ugly she inay be, who has not had, or will have, at least one offer of marriage during her lifetime. Women are single from chrice rater than necessity, and though every gentlo heart longs for love and sympathy, the practical woman's mind is keenly alive to her own independence, and a matrimonial alliance must possess merit to re commend itself, for she knows that the world has discovered the fact that any woman can marry if sho wants to, but she can't undo it so easily. Therefore caution is needed; for the honor of having Mrs. So-andso engraved on one's visiting cards is not sufficient recompense in bor eyes for jumping out of the frying-pan into the lire.

Hawaiian Commissioner Blount, with his wife ami Secretary Kllis Mills, arrived at San Francisco Mon day morning on the overland train and within two hours they had sailed for Honolulu on the revenue cutter Hush. A correspondent boarded the train at Sacramento and had a long talk with the commissioner while he was taking his breakfast. He said; "The public seem to have the idea that I am loaded to the guards with instructions, whereas the plain truth is that 1 have recoived practically no instructions from President Cleveland or any one else. My mission, as I take it, is to inves- j tigate the whole question of annexation, to determine the sentiment of foreigners ns well ns natives, and to settle, as far as possible, from the fact*, whether it would bo advantageous to this country to annex the islands. My mind is free from any prejudice, and 1 am prepared to give an impartial hearing to all sides. The euttei Hush will be at my disposal, and in it 1 will visit the other islands after completing my work at Honolulu. Of course the foreign sentiment can be ascertained fully at Honolulu, but the natives of the other islands may have very different views from the Kanakas of Honolulu. 1 am ignorant of the ' O J Hawaiian language, but with a ( trustworthy interpreter it ought ( not to he diillouli to got at, the real | sentiment of the natives. "What the additional instructions from Washington may contain remains to be seen. They will reach . tuo by the next steamer and they may change my plans somewhat. Still I can conceive of no instruc- 1 lions which will alter my main pur pose to get the honest facts, irrespective of any friction or controversyNo question in recent American polities so sadly need* the light of pure truth thrown upon it as this llawaiin question, for it has been muddled by appeals to sentiment and prejudice." Mr. Blount was uncertain what time it would take to complete the investigation on the lines which he had planned, lie thought that two months would sacrifice thoroughness to haste. lie had heard much of the la/.iness of the islanders, and perhaps the llawaiians would object to the American plan of rushing things. Still, ho thought he could get through the work specially. Mr. Blount has never heen to sea, and he had some misgivings about the voyage. When told it would orohahlv take eirrht davs. ho i ~J n J ' smiled and said dryly: "It's nil important question whether wo want any territory that it takes a steamer more than a week to reach. That is mighty far away in my estimation." When the Hawaiian question first came up Mr. Blount and ex-Gov. McCreary, who were on the foreign affairs committee of the House, had a talk, McCreary said that Cleve land must bo seen to find out what was wnnted. "If he wants this treaty put through before his inauguration," said McCreary, "wo can do it, but it is vital to learn what lie desires." So McCreary suggested that Blount go over to New York and see Cleveland. Blount considered the matter and finally decided to intrust the commissioner to Mr. Carlisle. So Mr. Car isle talked with Cleveland and the latter suggested that the Democrats go very slow annexation until they had got all the facts, as he said it would be bad to have to make an inquiry af tor the island had been annexed. Mr. Carlisle mentioned, and that's the way the appointment came. Mrs. Blount was considerably worried by the commissioner's eagerneass to get to sea. She hoped to spend a day or two in San Francisco and do some shopping, but Blount told her alio could buy anything she needed in Honolulu. Sho was much pleased with the pretty cabin of the cutter which she is to occupy. A IUO lliI> INDIAN. lv*it/h>.iKh Leo Downed him Willi tlio Virginia ''HncU lleel" Trip. One of the best stories heard in the hoto corridors for a long time was told by Captain Jack Ilayes, the 1 ndian lighter and friend of Colonel Hill Cody, to the Washington Star representative this morning. Captain Hayes is from Cleveland, 0, He is the bosom ami lifelong friend of Governor Fitzhugh l.ee and in the parade lio occupied the honorary position of chief of Governor Lees staff. "It was in the winter of 1800, at Camp Colorado, Texas, said Captain Haves "Our scouts reported a body of Indians that had massacred settlers and driven off their fctock.

We knew that ho was hiding in one of the glutches. In a few moments wo discovered his pony. Turning wo saw him 011 the other side of an undulation in the prairie* As he reached tho top of tho divide ho waved his shield and yelled defiance at us. We put after him, hut could not find him in the ledges of rock. Lee then proposed that we separate, which we did* "It seems that the Indian was but about 30 foot from General Leo at the time hiding behind a ledge of rooks.'' As Leo came upon him he fired an arrow went through his arm, breaking off. The Indian was a chief?a big, tall, powerful, muscular fellow, over six feet in height. 1 i i r il. . .11 ucnerai i .en was men a amau man, but ho is the bravest and pluckiest man in the city to day. In n moment more they were locked in each other's arms in a death struggle. The General was carrying his revolver in his right hand- The Indian grasped the barrel and the weapon was discharged, but ho was not hit. The pistol dropped to the ground. Leo knew that his only salvation was to hug the Indian, for the latter had his koifc in his hand, and as they swayed, to and fro packing tho snow beneath their feet ho was lilt able to plungo his knife in his adversary s body. 1 started to his rescue, but did not dare to shoot as I advanced, as they were twisting writhing so that | was afraid of killing my comrade. 'In another minute they were on the ground and Lee on top. As luck had it they fell near the revolver. In the second of time allowed Lee seized tho pistol and discharged it, the ball going through the cheeks and mouth of the savage without oven knocking out a tooth, for his mouth was open in a yell. In another arot.nd, however, the next ball crashed in his brain. As the General disengaged himself from the tight embrace of tho savage and rose to hid feet he shook himself and folt of his body to see whether lie was wounded, for the Unike had cut his coat. I was fearful least ho had been injured, and asked him how ho felt. Ilo replied: 'Oh, 1 am all right; just getting my muscle up,' raising his arm as if he wero tightening the bicep.
