An American Minister Resi- dent Acts
as u Policeman.

NEW YORK, July Nv. J. Still
man Intends to address further
protest to the State Department
against his expulsion from Crete
lie has now received notice Of expul
sion from the whole OF: the Turkish
Empire, which involves the forfeit
ure Of his connection with the Lon
don Times as its correspondent.
The subservience of Frelinehuv
sens Tom Wallace to the Turkish
authorities renders the safety of ey-
cry member of the American colony
IN Turkey precarious. The specta-
Gle of an American Minister in Con
stantinoplc acting as a Turkish po-
hceman brings American authority
INTO contempt throughout the East.
The injury inflicted on Stillman
individually is without justification,
anc is likely to prove irredeemable

necessary to successful smelling; but it
will be very shortly, as everything else
is ready.

Another Crank.

ERIE, Pa, July "A strange
crank passed through here to. day,
who protested to be on a divine mis-
sion to Washington, to execute the
command of God by avenging Gui-
teau's murder, as he termed it. He
resembles Guiteau in personal APP
pearance, and processes to be dis
tant relative. He said he had never
taken much stock in Guiteau until
the night before he was hanged,
when God appeared to him in a Wis
ion and commanded him to go to
Washington and avenge Guiteau's
murder. AS to the manner in which
this is to be effected he is in doubt,
as God promised to reveal it to him.
Upon his arrival in Washington
he refused to tell his name or where
he came from, but he had ticket
from Chicago TO New York. He ut
tered terrible threats against Arthur
and others.

Pension Statistics.

WASHINGTON, d. G. July 2.-The
amount paid for pensions on account
OF the late war to March LIST, 1882, is
$500, 7Sl,95O. 1t is estimated that
there are now on the rolls the names
OF 100000 pensioners of the late
war. This does not include 10000
pensions on account of the war of
1912. The aggregate value of $780,
600 Of the late war pensions is s27,-
100000, and of the $4,000 of the
war of 1912 pensioners S2,SOO,oOO, or
an aggregate annual value Of $780,
100000. Estimating the disburse-
ments for May and June, the total
paid for pensions for the current fs-
cal year will not vary much from
s65,ooO,oO0. On April l, 1882, there
were on file 2l7,162 standing claims
which if allowed would be entitled to
arrears. Estimating Ia per cent for
rejection and 1900 as the average ar
rears in each case, there would be
paid, if allowed within the year, *2l,-
400, 800.
There are 53,7l9 pending claims
filed subsequent to limiting imposed
by the arrears act, and when allowed
a pension commences from the date
Of filing. Deduct II! per cent for
rejection and the average first pay
ment would be one years pension at
$llO per case, or s4,S26,030. If the
two classes just referred to should be
at once added to the roll this would
increase the annual value of pensions
by s24, $780, which, added to the
present annual expense, s3o,ooo.oOo,
would be $54,60O,OO0.

One Of the most eminent of living
investigators into the phenomena Of
optics is NJ. J. Plateau, of the Royal
Academy Of Belgium, who for the
last forty years has been SO totally
blind that he may direct his face to
the sun without being sensible Of the
least objective clearness. His re-
searches into the phenomena of light
have excited the admiration of his
fellow scientists; his experiments
on the wonderful color of soap bpb-
bles are beautiful. M. Plateau has
just published little paper on the
sensations which he experiences in
his eyes, which is of practical value.
He states that he has constantly in
his eyes the sensations of light.
His field of vision is divided into
spaces, Of which some are very clear
and others sombre, or almost black.
These spaces are not precisely linn.
tied, but run into each other at their
borders; but what is remarkable II
that their general tint alternates be.
tween gray and reddish.

AN EDITOR BOYCOTTED.
His Patrons Combine to Break Up His
Business.

A couple of weeks ago rumor to
the effect that c. II. Clay, editor and
manager of the Bellevue News, was
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
moving his press and type TO HALEY,
was circulated in this city and in
Bellevue. Mr.. Clay being frequently
seen in HALEY just about that time,
the rumor gained some credenee.
When the judicial decision declar-
ing HALEY to be the county
seat was rendered Mr.. Clay quietly
stated that it was his determination to
move up here. This was soon known
in Bellevue, and caused considerable
Indignation, which presently devel-
oped into active hostility, and lists
We're prepared pledging all signers tc
abstain from reading the News and tc
Immediately withdraw all their pat
ronage. These lists were circulated
throughout Bellevue for two days
and very generally signed-so that
Brother Clay finds himself with a
newspaper ON his hands, but scarcely

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Why 1t Was Not Celebrated In HALEY
The Ball In The Evening, in Ward /
Quantrcll's Splendid Hall.

HALEY did not celebrate the Fourth
Of July this year. AS the announce
ment that the railroad terminus and
the county seat were fixed here, had
but recently been made, 1T was held
that that was glory enough for one
year, and, by common accord and to
smooth things over with our neigh
bors, all who could get away agreed
to visit Bellevue Or ketchum. At
the latter place, the celebration was
all that could have been wished. His
Honor Judge Pickett delivered the
Grafton, Hon. Joe Huston read the
Declaration Of Independence, poem
was read, and other exercises took
place. In the evening large num-
Der of Ketchumites accompanied the
iIaileyites home, and to the hall in

This new hall was thrown open to
the public for the first time last even

large number Of gentlemen unaccom-
panied by ladies, attended. The
hall had been handsomely decorated
for the occasion. Festoons of ever.
greens depended from the center of
the ceiling to tho corners, where
Chinese lanterns were pendant. There
was wide band Of American flags
all around the ceiling, the music
stand was draped in flags and ever
greens, half dozen paintings
hung from the walls, and
handsome lace curtains in all
the windows completed the fine
effect produced, while the 12-light
chandelier in the center of the hall
set off the whole to the best advan-
tage.
The corridor was likewise decor
ated with flags and evergreens, and
lighted with Chinese laterns.
The hall is the largest and best in
the Territory, in many respects. The
floor has fine "spring" to it, the cell
ing is Is feet high, the seats are in
clined at the proper angle, and the
dressing and cloak rooms are just
where they should be. Sixteen quad
rifle sets can dance on the floor at one
time,
Among those in attendance last
evening were many ladies and gontle-
men from Boise and Ketchum, Bull.

News From KanakadOnl.

SAN FRANCISCO, July :. - The
steamship Suez arrived from Honolulu
with the following news up to June
22d: The new Gibson Ministry of
King kalakaua isvery popular. They
have their own way with the Legisla-
tive Assembly, now in session. Pre-
mier Gibson has introduced a loan
bill, which no doubt will pass, to bor-
row s2,ooo,000 to promote immigra-
ton and certain internal improve
ments. The loan bill will be taken
up i'll Honolulu.
The Government now proposes to
lmmlgrate people without contracts
to labor.
The Portuguese immigration from
the Azores is checked for the pres
ent on account of excessive charges.
When the steamer Monarch arrived
from st. Michael's at Honolulu with
500 Portuguese immigrants on board
the cost to the Hawaiian Govern
ment was $4,000. Yet on evidence
it IS proven that the actual cost was
about S2S, 900. Attention is now di.
rected to Japanas favorable field for
recruits for people for this archipel-
ago. A movement is on foot to in
troduce colorcd laborers and their
families from the United States into
the Island. 1t is the purpose of the
Government to provide for the pas
sage of immigrants without their be-
ing subject to any contract for ser
vice or charges whatever.
1t is generally understood, though
not yet officially announced, that the
coronation Of King Kalakaua will
take place February l., 1888, on the
anniversary Of his accession to the
Hawaiian throne.

CoLvILLE, Pa, July 2.-Following
are the particulars of cyclone here:
A new frame house and dwelling.
owned by Frank Baird, was complete
ly wrecked in Stanley, and Mr.. Baird,
his sister-in-law, and clerk, Mr.. Car
man, were badly injured. Mr.. Baird
was blown a considerable distance, but
miraculously escaped injury beyond a
few bruises.
Five hundred feet south of this
store dwelling house, occupied by
Thomas Johnson and family, was
blown down, but all the inmates es-
capped without injury.
The residence of Mrs. Barnes was
blown away fully 800 feet, and
lodged in fence corner, and she was
SO badly hurt that she died in 80
minutes. a child of Mrs. Barnes was
carried 500 feet and received injuries
from which it died this evening.
The residence of Jonathan Kelley,
which contained nine people at the
time the cyclone struck it, was COM
pletely demolished, and all persons in
the house more or less injured; one
person-Wm. Hurly-has since died.
Three BARRIERS, next door, were so
seriously hurt that they are expected
to die.
The only hotel in the place, the
Gilsey House, was so damaged that it
will be necessary to rebuild.
Altogether 10 houses We're wrecked,
and from rs to 80 persons were killed
and injured.
In the track of the storm there is
scarce y tree left standing. Great
trunks Of big trees were twisted off
like pi pes stems, and in some instances
carried hundreds Of yards.
The loss will probably exceed
$4,000.
COLORADO SPRINGS, July "A de-
structive and fatal water-spout Wis
tied this vicinity last evening, the
center of the storm being Manitou
Springs, in which place the houses
were more or less damaged.
The water came down from the
mountains through Williams, Rux-
ton and Ute Pass canyons, forming
wall eight feet high, and sweeping
everything before it. Several par
ties of eNcursionists during the day
had gone up these canyons, and it is
feared that some persisted.
One body which washed down
Williams canyon was swept past the
hotel, in at the door, and lodged in
the floor. A bus filled with passen-
gers, which had started for the train,
was swept from the street, and the
horses, driver, bus and contents were
washed down the torrent and dashed
high and dry on the rocks. All es-
capped with but slight injuries. Man
itou Cliff, Beebe, and Parker hotels
are more or less injured, and hun
dreds of cattle and horses have been
carried away.
Over mile of the track of the
Denver d Rio Grande Railway was
washed away; the wagon bridges be-
tween Manitou and Colorado Springs
also were.
The loss Is placed at from $3.50, 900
to 81 900, 900, as far as known, and
it is expected that reports to-day will
disclose further loss of life and prop
erty.
