The customs authorities of the Puget sound dis trict have been instructed by the government to keep a sharp outlook for filibustering pir- tlcs fitting out for the Hawaiian Islands. A few days ago It was reported vessels were openly loading nnd frelghtnlng to the Is lands munitions of war. Orders have now- been Issued to closely watch nnd search all vessels bound tor the south sea , for arms. It is believed a large quantity of arms and ammunition have been smuggled Into Ha waii from Puget sound. It Is positively known that secret agents of the royalists dispatched one small consignment to the Islands last October. One source of Information mation says nn uprising Is planned In the Islands to commence September 1 nnd that 4,200 men will be In readiness to bear arms against the government. The Insurgents , after being repeatedly drilled In southern California , expect to get their goods and as sistance from Puget sound , and may bo successful If they can evade customs and revenue officers.

A THIS TO TEETHE TROTH ' The Va'uo of Etatenfc'jityMatU Under the Shadow of the Gallows. SPECULATIONS ON AJGRUESCME SUBJECT llnvo the roMlbtllttr * of the Unlai-nvn the Tower to NiippreM Ilic loiillriueil llnblt of 1-ylnj In fli ( About to lie Executed ? Bucananan's asseveration a few moments before his execution tfhAt'Ac ' was Innocent i-f the crime for which' He was about to die , suggested , says the New York Sun , a discus sion of the value of statements made by men about to be put to death. One ot those who took part In It said : "I have seen thirty-six men hanged by duo process of law and do not recall n single Instance In which the culprit at that solemn moment , with his toes already over the brink of eternity's abyss , falsely alllrtned his Innocence. Some confessed their guilt openly ; others only to their spiritual ad visers ; not a few kept sullen silence and there were those who , thougn admitting their crimes , protested against their execu tion as nn Injustice , because they ( Jeemed themselves justified In what they had done. In fact , the only one who , the moment be fore death , stoutly averred his Innocence , really was guiltless of the crime for which he was hanged. There Is In every man sufficient apprehension of the dread possibili ties ot the unknown Into which he Is about to plunge to suppress even the most con firmed habit of lying. And there Is no in centive to Indulge It. The man about to be hanged may all Ills life long have eonslderel a He as Queen Elizabeth defined It , 'nn Intellectual method of evading a difficulty , ' but the difficulty In which he finds himself Is , as he knows too painfully well , not to bo escaped from by any such method. "It may be Bald that he Is liable to Ho In order that the shame of his untimely end may rest Itbs heavily upon loved ones. In rare Instances that Is possibly true , but hardly In the case of a fellow like Bu chanan. If there Is ever u moment In life when one of his character Is compelled to feel that he 'Hocks all alone by himself , ' It Is when the noose Is about his neck. The poisoner Is always the tntnncst s-ort of as sassin , most cowardly when brought face to face with fate , least likely to take thought for the feelings of others. He will lie stoutly so long as nny hope remains that a lie will help him , but when his feet entei the shadow of Inevitable death he cringes nnd confesses or else abject terror fo over whelms him that his mind seems paralyzed to all consciousness other than contempla tion of the horror before him and he dies without either confession or denial. ' 'They brought him back to New York , tried him , and condemns. ! Mr.i to death. But he had the happiness of seeing his loved ones again , and was sustained by the con sciousness of having done a good deed. The preachers and some amateur soul savers swarmed about him , urging him to repent of his sin and us one of the redeemed , but he calmly put them all aside , thanking them courteously for their well-meant attentions but firmly refusing to b ? bothered by them. " ' 1 do not repent of what I have done , ' he said , 'and the great ! Judge , who knows the facts , will not expect me to. I did what was right , what I would tinder the same cir cumstances do again and would have been m man had I not done it. ' "His keepers were kind to him , letting him tee his wife and child as much as possl ble , and whei he learned that some provision had been made for their future , he seemed content and even happy. When the hou of his execution arrived he walked out to tin gallows with as firm tread and calm de meaner as ever In his life he had stepped or the street. The nooie was upon his neck the black cap on his , brow , and he stood un der the gallows beam with no more bravadi than fear In his manner when the Unltei States marshal esked him If he had anythlni to say before the tentence of the law wa executed upon him , " 'With your kind permission I would Ilk to say a few words , " he replied , bowing politely. "He spoke at least twenty minutes , utter Ing no complaint apuiiiEt the cruel Injustlc of his fate , but making nn eloquent plea fo reformation of the law and custom by whlc" the masters of vessels , Irrespective of thel character , had despotic power at sei over th men under their command. He passed llghtl. over his own 'case , as too familiar to hi hearers already to bo worth r.vcnlr.g ! , bu cited many others Illustrative of the gros abuse of power by brutal captains , and th most he said for himself was an expresslo of hope that Ills death might perhap be of some service In awakening the human feeling of the community to a realization o the evil conditions existent In our merchan marine. His little speech was dellvsre calmly , though earnestly , with not one tremo In his voice or quiver of the pinioned hand behind him. When It was done he bowed again to the marshal and said , with a smile : "I am at your service , s.r. " "The black cap was dra 'n down over his eyes , the signal given , and he dangled In the air a corpse. The law was satisfied , but there were tears of sympathy for that brave man In the eyes of many men who witnessed his death , "A wife poisoner named Stevens , who was hanged In the Tombs a great many years ago , was an Illustration of that despicable class. As was proved beyond doubt on his trial , he had , while tenderly nursing his Invalid wife , patiently and slowly stolen her life away by means of minute doses of poison , continuously administered In her medlc'ne and food. He was a pious man nn3 prayed for her recovery. Between prayers he gave her some more arsenic , until she died. When : the time came for him to die he fairly col lapsed In cowardly fear and became almost a gibbering Idiot. Liquor was administered to brace him up so that he might walk from his cell to the gallows , but even then ho had to bo supported on both sides , practically carried an3 held up while the noose was put around his neck. A more contemptible wretch never contaminated the old Tombs gallows. "In splendid contrast to him was a poor negro I saw , to my sincere sorrow , hanged on that same gallows. Ills name was Hawkins , and a finer specimen of the clear blooded African I have never beheld. He was tall , had a fine figure and n very In telligent , kindly face. The story of his crime , as the law termeJ the deed for which he suffered , was very simple and one that won the sympathies of all right minded men , who heard of It. He ' 1 been employed as cook on n coaster bound from New York to New Orleans. The master of the vessel was a malignant brute , who was cruel to all his men , but most merciless to the poor negro , whom he esteemed most defenseless of all. It amused him to deal a savage blow or a violent kick to the black cook , to , - I hurl a belaying pin .or . other missile at his head and to see him Jump in fear or wince In , pain. All that the unfortunate man endured without even thought of retaliation. But ( one day the fiendish'skipper ' devised a more exquisite torture for1 , his victim. He swore that when he reached New Orleans he would nell him Into slavery. 'That was before the war , and Hawkins kn9\v that If the wrctcl were so minded he could execute his threat and that no protestations of being a fret man would avail agalns. the false claim ol ownership. And he did not doubt that foi the price he would bring the captain would . be capable of any crlmi1 , even a far greater one than selling a free man Into lifelong . slavery , which the brute would deem a Joke The threat , under such circumstances , mlgbl well have made the man desperate , but there were further considerations to madden him. In New York , awaiting his return , were e wife and little child , whom he loved dearly and he was to ece them no more. When hi - thought of them he became frenzied , and seizing a hatchet , he chopped that captaln'i head Into pieces. "I mentioned the hanging of one Innocen man aa having been witnessed by me. lie was a poor , shiftless ne'er-do-well named Lee who was hanged at Waukegan , III. , In 1SG5 . for the supposed'murder of an old widow named Uuth Brlden , for whom he worked or t her farm. That he was lazy , worthless , ab Jectly poor , and liable to get drunk when kin : fortune gave him a chance , was all true , bu no act of violence was ever known to hav < been perpetrated by him , and though mud effort was expended upon trying to nuke 1md. out a petty thief , even that was not proved Ho hadn't energy enough to kill anybody even If he could have got as much as $ iy.by i which would have been a fortune to him by ; U. And bo hadn't any temper. There wa abi lu ely no object for him to kill the eld aV v..man , no discoverable g oil excuse f-ir sup- p s ng ho might have ilone U , bayund the fact that hi was near enough , somewhere abuut the farm at the time when she was suppose J to have been killed , and could have killed her If so minded. The circumstantial evidence on his trial and there was no other amounted to that and nothing more. But the sense of | the community wag that somebody ought to be hanged for a murder , and he could be spared better than anybody else at hand. I studied the evidence In the case very closely and could not see any other basis for the verdict of guilty recorded agjlnst him. And I said as much to the deputy sheriff the night before the execution , at the same time point ing out a man who would hsve derived benefit from the old woman's death , a man of means , who was particularly zealous In pressing for the poor vagabond's conviction. " 'Of course. ' I said , 'It's no concern of mine , but that Is the man who killed Huth Brlden. and Lee did not. ' "The deputy was very much amused nnd laughed heartily at me. The next morning they led the prisoner up stairs from his cell to the court room , where In the wide doorway dangled the noose tint was to take his life. Bright sunshine Hooded the little lull where truth had beeft twisted to a lie and Justice had thrown away her scales. Through the open win lows floated the songs of birds and the laughter of children from the trees nnd grass of the court house square. The poor wretch , standing In the door with the fatal cord about his nock , looked his last upon the I'ght. ' listened to the sweet sounds , and sighed. Then there was moisture dimming tils eyes , but no apparent fear , as ho looked toward heaven and said simply , In a clear , steady voice : " 'I call God to witness my Innocence of the crime for which 1 am about to die. ' "Tho sheriff gave a signal , and In a few minutes the vagabond's heart had ceased to beat. Six months later. In Chicago , I met the deputy sheriff to whom 1 had avowed my belief In the man's Innocence. He was a big , hearty , manly looking fellow , with a frank , open countenance. Taking my hand , he said abruptly , as If I must , of course , be thinking of what was uppermost In his mind and un derstand Intuitively what he referred to : " 'What you said raised doubts ! In my mind , and the mere I thought of It the more It troubled me. and at last I set to work to find out the truth. I've spent more than $1,000 out of my own pocket on It In detectives and travel and so on. And I'm convinced you were right. Though I can't prove It on him , I know who killed Huth Brlden and why he did It. As for poor Lee well , God help us ; we hanged an Innocent man that day.

The sugar beet factory at Chlno has begun work. The company has , It Is stated , con tracteJ for a sufficient quantity of sugar beet to keep the mill In operation for four or fiv months. The contract has been let for construction of the saventh barracks building at the Santa Monica Soldiers' Home , nt a cost of about $22,000. The building Is badly needed on ac count of the crowded condition of the home. There exists In American gulch , Idaho , a bank of snow which has been there for four teen years , to certain knowledge. The bank lies under a bluff , where the snow drifts over and forms a bank that at times Is fifty feet deep. A parasite has made Its appearance In some of the alfalfa fields near Boise. Idaho , that promises to be troublesome. It Is a line , wiry plant of yellowish color. It grows In a mat about the stems of the alfalfa and kills It off. A Mation valley , Nevada , rancher who was leading a span of horses to water tied their halters together for convenience. The ani mals got away , started on a run and went on oppcslte sides of a cottonwood tree at full gallop. The stoppage was to sudden that It broke their necks. Instead of making the punishment fit the crime , It appears to be made to fit the vic tim In Idaho , If the Lemhl Republic Is to be credited.

One day last week he killed eleven , and saw many others. He gives as n reason for their appearance In such large numbers the fact that no forest fires have swept that section for several years.
