agreed upon and two or three of relative
importance.
Among the changes agreed upon was one

paper. Tbe rale upon the former was fixed

AtRus.se'), Kan., there was a terrible ex

victims were J. C burton, William (lay and
the later's son, John (!ay, who have lived
together on burton's farm. 'J he men were
confessedly guilty of the murder of Frede

Saturday miduiitbt a picked party of KlO
farmers forced their way into the 'ad and
dragged out the teiritied' trio. Tbe mob took
tbe men to a railroad biidge over a little
prairie stream about PHJ rods east of tbe
Kussell station. Hopes were put around
the neck ofeuc h of the prisoners and tied to
the slriiifers of the bridge. There was no
time given fur prayers and pleadings and at
a signal all three were pushed off the edge
of the bridge and dropped H or 10 feet. The
mob then tired two shots into each body
although death came quickly by the rope.
Then the lynchers rode away Uietlv. In
the moruing the coroner cut down tbe
bodies and without delay the 1urv rendered
a verdict that the deceased came to their
deaths at tbe hands of persons unknown.
There Is little sympathy for the victims.
The murder was cruel and heartless and the
murdered man had many friends.

that Capt, Wilson's force was small, ordered
a renewal of the attack. The natives in
overwhelming nambers bore dowu upon
tbe whites. The latter battled gallantly be
hind the cover afforded tbeiu by tbeir dead
horses, it was impossible, to ever, fur the
whites to bold the savage Matabeles in

THE HAWAIIAN PUZZLE.
BEFEHHED TO CONQBE38
By The President In a Message Whleb
Was Accompanied by Hitherto Un
published Correspondence.
Tbe President, in bis message to congress
accompanying tbe Hawaiian correspon
dence, ststes that be "transmits copies ol
all dispatches from our Hawaiian minister
except those heretofore sent, and also a
copy of the last instructions sent to minis
er Willis, dated Saturday and which are
the only Instructions to him not already
lent to congress. One of tbe two dispatcher
heretofore withheld is also sent In, inas
much as it Is referred to In tha dispatches ol
MinlMer Willis, but the other No. 70, it
still withheld for Ihe reason tbst such s
course seems proper." This is tha extent
of tbe President's message.
The correspondence opens with a dispatch
from Mr. Willis in wblch he rives details
f thecall made upon him at tbe legatior
by the ex-queen November 13, when eh
uecnned to grant amnesty to those now ic
tbe provisional government.
The roval chamberlain accompanied bei
but lie did not enter tbe room, having heer
sent I to another apartment. Consul lieu
eral Milla remained without to prevent in
terrupiion. Altera formal grwtmg tin
queen was asked wbetber she would rere.vt
important communications trom thi
president aluii and in confidence. To I tin
sjeairreed. lr. Willis assuring her il wa
lor her own interest and sa'ely. Mr. Willn
theu made known the president's position
in the controversy, assuring the mieen tha
tbe president believed she bad been de
throned with the aid of armed forces o
this government and thai tbe wrong woulc
be redrsed.
Mr. Willis then said: "The president ex
pects and believes that when reinstated vot
will show forgiveness and mug-hanim'ity.
that vou will wih to be queen nf all tin
people, thai you will make haste to securt
tbeir love and loyalty and to establish peacf
friendship and good government."
To this the qnoen made no reply and Mr.
illis continued: - The president not onlv
irnii-rs tou nis ayinpainy. Lut wishes tc
help you. It-lure lully making known tt
you Ins purposes, 1 wish to know wbethei
ycu lire willing to answer certain questior
which it is my dutv to ink." She auswerei
I am willing." .Mr. Willis then assked
"Hiould you be restored io tbe thront
would you grant lull amnesty, as to lift
an l property, to all those wii'o have beer
and are now in the provisional government
or who have been instrumental in tbe over
throw of your government?"
She hesitated a moment and then replied
"1 here are eertuin laws of inr government
by which I shall abide. My deiorcs woulc
be, as the law direct, that such persons
should be beheaded and tbeir property con
lisrated to the government "
Alter this astounding and totally unex
peeted statement Mr. Willis questioned the
queen t to whether she appreciated tb
gravity of such a statement and lully un
derstood the meaning of every word sht
has said The queen answered that sh
full understood and meant what she said
but tbut she might leave the decision pi
this to ber mimsters. She would have i.c
right to issue a royal proclamation of gen
eral amnesty and would not do it.
"These people," she said "were tbe caus I
of the revolution ol 1(nM7. They will never
be any peace wbile they are here. They
must be sent out of the country or punish
ed and tbeir property connscated."
Air. Will; luen aniieO iu. u. had .
further communication to make to her.
Mr. Willis obtained from the queen the
names o J. O. Carter, John Kichardjon,
Joseph Newanl and W. O. McFarlane. who
wtre ber trusted friends and with whom
Mr. Willis could communicate. Tbe queen
declined tbe proffered oiler of a guard, say
ing although she was onlv guarded by men
armed with clubs ihe preferred to have no
guard from the I'nited Males warships.
I'pon reflection Mr. Willis decided not to
consult with the queen's friends, as her
declared intentions if communicated to
them might leak out and result in endang
ering her life.
Mr. Willis quotes the Hawaiian penal
code. under which the queen said she wouid
act and which says that all those wbo shall
comrkit the crime of treason, shall be put to
death. Mr. Wiilis sreaks of Ihe exci ement
on the island, and asks lor prompt action
and urges that in view of the excitement,
Mr. mount's report be withheld.
The next dispateh is dated December 5. it
notes the arrival of Uritish and Japanese
warships and referstotheexcltement caused
by Mr. Uresliam's letter to tbe president
urging restoration. Following this is noted
the various communications betweea Mr.
Willis anil President 1'ole, which have
already been made public.
Mr. Willis encloses a protest be received
from citizens against interference by the
Fnited States govern men! to restore the
queen and also a letter from President Dole
prohibiting the further lauding of troops
for drilling purposes.

1. AT 1ST lXSTIUTTIOSS TO MR. WILMS.
The steamer Mariposa which sailed on
Saturday for Honolulu, carried instructions
to Minister Willis. He is informed that be
has rightfully interpreted his instructions
and informed his dutv In the premises.
Nothing more is to be done as the subject
is now in the bauds of co-cress.
The correspondence of Minister Willis is
given quite fully, in which he described his
second interview with the queen, when s .e
signed the agreement to grant amnesty to
all those engaged in the revolt.
The uoswer of President Dole to tbe noti
fication of the president's demand that the
queen be restored is also given In this
President liole expresses the disappoint
ment felt at the aeilon of the president of
tbe I'nited States in withdrawing the
treaty of annexation, and while occepting
the president's decision, In declining far
ter to conitdsr tbe annexation preposition,
the provisional government was not inclin
ed to regard it as the last word of tbe
American government on tha subject,
inasmuch as tbe close relations of the two
countries all point with convincing force
to political unison between tha two coun
tries. This conviction was emphasized by tha
favorable expression of Mercy, 6eward,
Fibh and Plaine, all former secrelariea of
stste and especially so by the Harrison ad
ministration. The provisional government
would therefore continue the project of
political anion with tbe Failed Ktatee as a
conspiclous feature of its foreign policy.
President Dole then enters into a long
argument to demonstrate that tbe United
States government has no right to Interfere
with tbe present government of Hawaii.

roa hsavy damaoss.
Two steamers arrived from Honolulu at
Pan r rancisco. The City of Pekln came
first, but tbe Australia brought news down
to January 0. As soon as the demands of
Minister Willis upon the provisional gov
ernment to abdicate become known excite
ment ran high and the goverement troops
were under orders to assemble at a mo
ment's notice.
Tba Australia also brought a statement
from a correspondent iu Honolulu that
Liliuokalanl has abandoned all hope of re
gaining tha throne and is perfecting sr.
rangeipenta for bringing claim against tba
I'nited btatee for an immense amount of
money. President Cleveland's statements
and those of (Secretary Uresbam are to be
nsed In the snlt. Mr. Blnnnt's report will
furnish much i f the evidence required.
Among the ras-engers on the Australia
were K. i . McFarlane. A. P. Peterson and

Mr. McFarlane deniee his visit to this

A UAIN IN TBADE.
A Distinct Improvement In Business
Noted. More Industries Start
Up Than Shut Down
Last Week.
K.G.Dun Jfc Co.'s Weekly Keview of Trade
says:
llusiness has distinctly improved since
tbe new year came, and the gain is no lo.ig
er visible only in speculative markets. It
is the only kind of Improvement that has
in it possibilities of lusting, because it is
based upon actual increase in the produc
tion by industries. As all rejoice to see it,
there is perhaps a little disposition to
reckon the gain greater that it ia as yet,
but several large establishments bave start
ed with part force, hoping to Increase, and
more smaller woiks have started tbau have
stopped.
Orders from dealers whose slock approach
exhaustion lorm a prominent cause: an
other is tbe widely prevaleut impression
tbat action at Washington will be more
satisfactory than many have expected; and
a belief that in any case the situation will
not be changed until goods now in the
works can be marketed has weight in some
trades. Whatever the causes, even a mod
erate gain is most cheering.
Dank clearances, indicate that no large
gain bad occurred as yet in the volume of
busiuesa, being l per cent smaller than a
year ago. Money continues to pour into
this city as it would not If trade approached
normal activity, and the demand Is so nar
row tbat loans are 1100,000,000 below de
posits. Foreign exchange bas risen 2 cents
in a fortnight, and some look for gold ex
ports again, galea of stock turn Die balance
although foreign houses are offering loans
here on long time.

was 2l'J.75'J,6SO In the last half of 181)3.
against t315,21r.i,310 in the last half of 1892;

D..L.
W. Passenger Tralna In a Dense
Fog. About Fifty Persons
Badly Injured.
A frightful accident occurred Monday
morning on the west side of the Hacken
sack bridge, on tbe Morris and Essex branch
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad. The train which leaves Ilosevllle,
at 8 o'clock crashed into tha rear of tbe
Dover express, telescoping two cars. Elev
en passengers In these two cars are known
to have been killed and at lesat SO are ter
ribly injured. Tbe conductor of tho
wrecked train, Jere George, was not Injur
ed. The Dover express passed through Uose
vilte without stopping. The train wblch
ran Into the express is the regular morning
commutation train. It pulled out of Ilose
vilie four minutes after the express had
disappeared in the tog in the direction of
Nework. On approaching the bridge
over the Hackeiisack rivertbe express slow
ed up. For whst reason is unknown, but
it is thought that the engineer could not
see the signals because of tbe dense fog and
tbat he slowed bis train to avoid danger.
The commutation train did not halt at
the bridge, but came along at its nsual
rate ol seed. Tbe engineer saw the express
when less than J) feet from it and
although he reversed his engine be could
not prevent a collision. The ponderous
locomotive crashed into the rear car. throw
ing it from tbe track and pushing it along
the westbouud track for quite a distance.
This car and the one ahead of it were com
pletely wrecked. Both cars were full of
passengers. who were crushed to death or
terribly mangled.
The brakeman of the rear err of the
Dover express discovered that a wreck was
inevitable and shouted at the top of hts
voice: "Jump for your lives another train
is coming behlud and will be on us in a
minute." Tbe warning cry was suttlcieut
to put the entire rear car of the expre in a
commotion. Passengers rushed pell mell
for the nearest means of exit. Some
jumped through the windows in tbeir baste
while the majority ru-li?d to the doors. In
the excitement some fell on the floor while
others tumbled over them.
I'.efore all the frightened passengers could
make their escape the Orange local crashed
into tbe rear c ir telescoping it and driving
it into the car ahead, also telescoping that
ami dealing death and injury on all sides.
