DECLINE Of DOLE'S REIGN
Hawaiians Arc Said to Be in favor
of Another Queen.
SFRECKLES IS POK MONARCHY
A Honolulu Editor Gives Soma Startling
Views of the Sltuntlon-Tho Early
Downfull of the Republlo
Is Predicted.
Chicago, Oct. 10. The dire utterances
of Editor Julian D. Hyne In the Great
Northern has caused much comment
from those interested In the situation
at Han-ail.
"Within eight months the Hawaiian
republic will he overthrown and Prin
cess Kalulanl. a niece of Queen Llliuo
kalani, will be made queen of the
islands," Is Hyne's latest prophecy. In
further reviewing the field, Mr. Hyne
says:
"It Is a fact that everybody Is sick of
the new republic and It Is recognized In
Hawaii that the monarchy will be re
stored. . I am surprised that the people
of America know so little of the affairs
of the Islands. Briefly, to touch upon
the financial standing of the present
government, those in charge acknowl
edge by their own statements that they
have been running behind at the rate
of $4",000 per month since they began.
In other words, they are $995,000 more In
debt now than at the time of the estab
lishment of the republic. Since March,
1S95. they have been unable to pay their
bills for current expenses.
"It Is the 'hope of both those who fa
vored the new government and those
who opposed It that Great Britain or
the United States will make Princess
Kalulanl queen with a protectorate.
The father of the young princess. Clog
horn, together withher guardian. Theo
dore H. Davis; Major 'Wood house,, the
ex-minister from Enfrlsnd. and George
McsFarlin. who was King Kalakaua's
chief financial agent, are all In Europe
at this time, the supposition being that
they are looking to bringing about such
an arrangement with England.
Says Thurston lias Deserted.
"In this connection Lorin S. Thurs
ton, who was turned down by the gov
ernment at Washington as Instigator
and prime mover in the rebellion, has
become dissatisfied 'With the govern
ment and is now openly favorable to
the establishment of Princess Kalulanl
with a protectorate.
"Queen 'Lilluokalanl Is of course out
of it. but it is understood that she
would be pleased with such an arrange
ment and her friends openly support It.
There Is really no opposition to It ex
cept on the part of tavls, the secretary
of the treasury. Judge Judd, chief jus
tice of the supreme court, and a few
other officials. Even the government
employes, who are, by the wav. the
same men In office under Queen Lllluo
kalani, are in favor of the protector
ate." "How about President Dole?"
"Weil, T wouldn't even say that Presi
dent San-ford B. Dol wouldn't like It.
He gets at present $12,000 a year, and
he gets It, ton. As often as the month
comes around whoevergoes un or down,
Bole draws his Jl.noo and ships every
dollar of It to San Francisco banks. He
admits that. You see, everyone there
knows that the renublle has only a few
months more of life. People don't think
of paying taxes, and the government
can't force payment, because no one
would buy the land. They have given
It un entirely.
"The whole thing, of course, was
scheme to advance the lntersts of
those engaged '- the sugar trade, and
they have discovered their mistake.
Today they are split, and the majority
of the wealthy favor the princess.
Sprockets Is for tho Prinzes'.
"Claus Spreckels, the owner of the
largest sugar plantations and owner of
the Western Sugar trust, that has a
contract with every planter on the
Hawaiian Islands, openly advocates
the establishment of the princess. That
is the political situation In a nutshell.
' "William R. Castle, the Hawaiian
minister to the United States, whose
credentials have not yet been passed
upon, beat around the bush the other
day In the Hoston papers, but all who
were aetiualnted with the subject can
see that he meant practically the same
as I am telling you now. We calculate
that eight months from now at the
most the republic will be turned over
to the queen."
Turning from the political to the
business situation, IMr. Hyne. explained
that the Chinese and Japanese were
taking hold of certain Industries to an
alarming extent. "Business Is really
dead," he declared.
"How will the establishment of the
protectorate help matters?"
"Well, people will pay their taxes In
the first place and the government will
brare up Immediately."
Mr. Hyne left tonight for 'San Fran
cisco en route to Honolulu.

suit I'pan a Victim.
8haron. Pa.. Oct. 10. JM. T. Malbon,
a student at Westminster college, re
ceived a hazing at the hands of fellow
students that has necessitated a physi
cian's care. About twenty masked stu
dents attacked and unmercifully beat

gular error the body of John Kelly, a
stone mason, and In life a Roman Cath
olic, lies In a Protestant cemetery at

The friends of both dead men are labor
ing with the health board of Jersey
City to set aside a rule which forbids
the disinterment of a body until after
Nov. 1, In order that Kelly may be
removed to consecrated ground, and
Tallman permitted to lie In the grave
at Flower HIII Intended for him.
The men died within un hour of each

MORELAXD'S DENIAL
He Insists That He Never Arranged to
Collect Interest from Pittsburg Funds.
Humors About Cltv Hall.
Pittsburg. Pa., Oct. 10. City Con
troller Gourleyand thesub-flnance com
mittee of city councils engaged In In
vestigating the finances of the city at
torney's office, did not have a meeting
today to further consider the matter
as was announced last evening. When
City Attorney MeKarlund was ac
quainted with the statement made yes
terday by ex-Cashier Scully of "-e
First National hank, that eleven years
ago Moreland had personally arranged
that Interest on deposits In that bank
should be paid to Mr. House, he said:
"I never at any time or place spoke
to John D. Scully upon the question of
paying Interest on the deposits. Nor
did I have any knowledge, personal or
otherwise, that such Interest ,was be
ing paid."
In response to further questioning
Mr. 'Moreland said: "I never made any
arrangements for such interest with
any person living or dead."
A seemingly well-founded rumor Is
In circulation about the city hall today
that probably not more than two or
three days will elapse before proceed
ings will be Instituted to have Assist
ant City Attorney Housp prosecuted
for receiving Interest on city funds de
posited In the name of City Attorney
Moreland. The plnn of the criminal
action, It Is reported, may Include the
city attorney himself In the proceed
ings on the ground that whether or not
he received any portion of the Interest,
he was a partner to the transaction,
through contributory negligence.

Detroit. 'Mich., Oct. 10. One of the
greatest theatrical schemes ever known
Is under discussion here by Joseph
Brooks, manager of W. H. Crane;
Harry 'Miner, of New Vork. and J. H.
McVieker, the veteran manager. If

theatrical , enterprises will fade into
Insignificance. In brief, the plan pro
posed I" -this:
The Fifth Avenue theater. New York,
and MeVlcker's, Chicago, nreto bemade
the headquarters of a great combine
for theatrical productions. Represen
tatives to select plays and foreign art

Paris. The combination will also man
age stars with their own companies,
and also stars who make short tours,
and furnish the company in the cities
In which these short tours are to be
played. The new combine Is to be
sweeping In Its character, embracing
the leading houses of the country.
The mn forming the syndicate do
not Intend to fight any other associa
tion or man, but simply combine for
mutual protection and to save money.
The gf.ntlemer. back of the enterprise
can command for lmmd!nte use SI ,ooo.
000, If necessary, am' with this amount
of money feel sure they can secure the
best talent of the entire world.
BUSINESS CROWDS THEM.
A Month's Work Still In Advance of the
Enlscnnnl Pcnntics.
Minneapolis, Oct. 10 -Despite the
fact that the Episcopal deputies have
refused social Invitations without num
ber from the fact that they have upon
the calendar business enoue-h to keep
them In session for a month to come,
while the convention must terminate
on Oct. 21 or thereabouts, they were
afraid of Incurring the dlnrdcasnre of
the good ppople across the 'Mississippi,
and so the transaction of business was
dispensed with this afternoon and the
visitors were driven about the saintly
city by a committee of Its citizens.
To make un for the lost time the
houses of bishops and deputies met
jointly at V.M tonight as the genernl
missionary board of the church for th"
purpose of considering the condition of
missions In Alaska.
A somewhat significant vote was that
refusing to strike out section 3. the
"primate" section, concerning which
there was so much debate on yesterday,
and a further salient point was the re
fusal of the house to concur In that
clause of the revision which reduces the
representation In the house of deputies
from four clergymen to three of each.
The bishops also had sent down the
same clause, but the deputies were not
In favor of reduced representation, the
bishops and the commission to the con
trary notwithstanding.

PORTE REPLIES TO POWERS
Declaration That Mussulmans Were
Acting in Se. -Defense.
SLAUGHTERED BY AKMEXIAXS
The Presence of the llrltlsb Fleet in the
Entrance to the Dardanelles
Causes Anxiety on Part of
the Sultan.
Constantinople. Oct. 10. The Porte's
reply to the Joint note of the six powers
relative to the recent rioting here has
been made public. The government
enumerates the steps that were taken
to maintain order, and declares that
Mussulmans were not the aggressors In
the rioting. It further site's that Ar
menians killed inoffensive Mohammed
ans und that in certain cases the Mo
hammedans haili to defend themselves
against their attacks.
The reply announces that the gov
ernment Is about to open an inquiry
for the purpose of discovering the guilty
persons. Upon receipt of the reply the
representatives of the six powers met
at the residence of the French am
bassador, to consider the attitude of the
Porte as exemplified In Its note. It Is
the general belief that the note will not
satisfy the diplomats.
The presence of the British fleet at
Semnos, at the entrance to the Dar
danelles, continues to cause anxiety to
the Sultan, and he has made a second
appeal to the 'British ambassador to
sreure the withdrawal of the British
warships. Thus far his appeal, like
the tlrst one, has been without avail.
This leads to the belief among the for
eign residents that Great Britain In
tends to persist In her demands, even
though the other powers should declare
themselves as satisfied with the con
cessions the Porte has announced Itself
as being willing to make.
Vienna. Oct. 10. A Constantinople
dispatch to the Fremdenblatt says that
the recent riots In Trebliond resulted
In 200 persons on both sides being killed.
The Armenians were only protected
from further butchery by the police
imprisoning them. The Russian consul
at Treblzond has telegraphed asking
that a war ship be sent to the place as
speedily as possible.

LORD SACKVILLE'S CASE.
It Is Said That Ills Fears Were Preyed On

Washington, Oct. 10. The Inference
drawn from iLord SackvlHe's recent
pamphlet that 'Mr. Bayard had not
taken offense at the Mutchlson letter
until the newspapers made It a politi

associate of 'Mr. Bayard, who said that

DlBAXrS CHEAT NERVE.
The Prisoner Displays Hcmurkablo
Sagacity on the Witness Stand in His
Own Hclialf.
San Francisco, Oct. 10. .Whether W.
H. Theodore Durant Is one of the most
remarkable of murderers or not. he is
a remarkable witness. All day, before
an audience that packed the court
room, he stood a fire of questions from
District Attorney Barnes which It
seemed at times would break him down.
With Imperturbable coolness his quick
ness of wit and adroitness were shown
a doxen times. He went ovet the ground
of his direct testimony and entered Into
the details of his movements in the
church on the day of the murder with
out varying a point or abating any in
plausibility. He was asked as to his
association with Blanche Lamont and
told of his having escorted her home
from the church to the park and other
places. When asked if he had not
stated after Miss Lamont' a disappear
ance that he believed that she had been
made away with, he answered In the
affirmative and said he had formed that
opinion from a statement made by one
of the detectlvs In his presence.
Barnes questioned him as to his
studies. In opposing an objection
Barnes made the statement that Du
rant knew enough about medicine to be
able to diagnose his case, and that he
had prescribed something not Intend
ed for partial asphyxiation. Had he
been overcome by gas. as he stated, and
had taken enough of the brnmo seltzer,
the district attorney declared that he
would have been a dead man before
he could have left the church. This
telling point had Its effect on Durant,
who showed the only excitement mani
fested by him on the stand. He rose
to his feet, and, turning to the court,
said the district attorney had mis
stated his testimony In saying he had
diagnosed his case as a partial asphyx
iation. Barnes said it made no dif
ference; po his nausea, according to his
own statement, was from gas Inhala
tion. Tn this connection the prosecu
tion will produce experts to show that
gas Inhaled fiulies Instead of paling
the face, and that bromo seltzer Is for
nerves and not for such a complaint as
Durant alleged he suffered from.
The cross-examination will go on
again tomorrow.
JEWELS FOR THE HEATHEN.
Exciting Sccno at a Brethren Convention-Hundreds
Shed Their Watches and
Tears.
Johnstown. Pa., Oct. 10. At the state
Brethren convention here today a re
markable scone was witnessed. It
was during the discussion of the mis
sion work. In the addresses it was
shown that mission work in this state
had been sadly neglected, and that
many Brethren In the ptate had no
place of worship, owing to the manner
in which the churches are distributed
throughout the, state. Various reme
dies were suggested, the general feel
ing being that cash was needed.
The Hev. E. 'E. Haaklns, of this city,
was the first to discuss the matter, and
he forced a self-denial by offering as
his donation his gold watch which had
been given to him when he was 11 years
old.
In a moment the convention was
aroused. Watches and all sorts of val
uables were thrown into the contribu
tion basket with the money, nnd the
scene was so affecting that hundreds
shed tears.
During the noon hour the ladles held
a meeting and decided to form a Sun
day school union and to ask the con
vention for Its sanction In their work,
which will lie principally Intended to aid
the church in Its efforts to establish
mission stations nil over the state. The
convention heartily endorsed the action
of the ladles and a reouest was made
that all the societies of such a nature
merge Into a state union for their own
good.
The matter of the selection of a place
for the next convention was given to
the executive committee with power
to act. The convention then adjourned.

GOVERNOR CLARK'S DOUBTS
He Docs Not Enthuse Over the
Great fight.
NO HURRY TO CROSS A BRIDGE
Ho Will Wait for Somothlng More
Tangible Than Talk Before Taking
Steps to Stop the Corbett
FItzsimmons Mill.
Little Rock. Oct. 10. In an Intervrew
this morning Governor Clark said:
Neither Corbett nor FItzsimmons has
yet said, so far as I have heard, that
the mill was to take place in this ,or
any other state, and, as they will evl
dontally be the chief attraction In the
coming exhibition, I prefer to wait un
til something more tangible than talk
develops before I say Just what I will
do should the fight attempt to be set
tled In Arkansas. In other words, I
will not cross the bridge until I get
to it. The Impression has gone out that
Hot Springs has been selected as being
the best place for an exhibition of the
kind proposed, and by common rumor
the officers down there, Including the
mayor and city attorney, are anxious
to secure the mill, but I hardly be
lieve all I hear, tine thing, however,
I shall not need further authority than
that at present on the statute books, to
prevent people from coming Into the
state for purposes that are prohibited
by every state in the union.
General klnsworthy Means nnslness.
Attorney General Klnsworthy said
this afternoon that he hoped the man
agement of the mill had no serious in
tention of coming to Arkansas for the
purpose of pulling It off. but that if
they should he would prosecute them
to the fullest extent of the law. The
Impression prevails throughout tne
community that tho fight will take
place at Hot Springs, Independent of
the popular feeling agalns the prize
ring.
