DENVER, June IA highly sensational
report was in circulation to-day that an
attempt was made to poison Modieska at the
Opera House last night. 1t now traDspires

man at the Theater. When Barrett was
here two months ago preparation OF phos-
phorus was used to give the face of the ghost
in the play of Hamlet a luminous appear
ance. Last night in the play of Juliet" the
property man gave Modjeska the phial, mis-
taking il for one containing the sleeping po-
ton. AS soon as the cork was removed the
liquid ignited. and this, of course, prevented
serious results. No one for moment sus-
pected il wss anything more than blunder,
until the matter was reported TO Modjeska's
husband, Count Bozepts, who seemed very
incredulous, and stated that several attempts
had been made upon her life.

Kellogg and Brady.

Ex-senator Kellogg and General Brady
will Monday next be called upon to plead
to the indictments in their. cases.
1t is not probable the trial of the Kellogg
Brady cases will take place before next au-
tumn, as precedence will be given cases Of
local importance.
The Evening Star says, editorially: The
verdict of acquittal rendered by the jury in
the Star Route case was Unexpected, though
it was supposed probable there would be
disagreement upon conviction. While the
verdict is in the nature of surprise, the
suit does not justify eny censure of the Jury
as having acted otherwise than conscien
tiously in their conclusion. There we're men
on the Jury who certsinly would not have
voted for acquittal unless. In their faithful
endeavor to master all the details of this ex--
tremely involved and complicated case, they
were unable to trace beyond reasonable
doubt all the links required legally to estsb-
lish a conspiracy. As one of the Jurymen
says in regard to this action: The indiet-
ments were based on conspiracy, and if there
was no conspiracy established there could be
no conviction"

SUGAR COMMISSION.

1t passes understanding how the
Hawaiian Sugar Commission came to
make the extraordinary statement
that the majority of the Hawaiian
sugar planters are not American, or
in their own language, ''that it is
not true that Americans own the
monopoly of the planting interest of
the islands; that, on the contrary,
they own comparatively small part
of the plantations. Possibly the
commissioners confounded the sugar
factors of Honolulu with the planters,
but of the six firms in that business
three, Messrs. w. G.. Irwin & Co..
Castle & Cooke and Brewer & Co, are
Americans. What is sometimes
called ''the missionary element,
that is, the sons of missionaries, and
which is largely engaged in planting,
is all American, in blood and sympa-
thy, for their fathers were sent out
forty years ago by the American
Missionary Society. The majority
of the stock of the incorporated COM
panies engaged in sugar planting is
owned by Americans or the descend
ants of Americans. A few English,
Scotch and Germans are interested
in sugar planting, but their number
may be counted on ones fingers.
There is more San Francisco capital
invested in sugar planting in the
islands than English, Scotch and
German added together, and it is not
in sugar planting only that the Amer
lean element predominates. The of
fetal classes, other than the pure
Hawaiian, are mainly American OF
of American descent. 1t is so also
with the wholesale houses, it is so
also in the legal and medical pro-
fessions. Apart from the native ele-
ment, Honolulu is as much of an
American city as San Francisco
itself. Indeed, of the white popula-
ton of Honolulu, larger proper
ton are either American or of Amer
lean descent, in whole or in part,
than in our own cosmopolitan city.

nearly four months, and we have not
one word of complaint to make. 1t

wonderfully small amount of fuel,
gets up steam in a very few minutes,
runs so smoothly and noiselessly that
it cannot be heard half way across
our office, and furnishes all the
power we need to run two cylinder
and two job presses; it is a perfect
little gem of little giant. We
doubt if any engine made is so fully
adapted to the requirements of q
printing office as the Baxter. The
probability is that Mr.. Todd, the
manufacturer, will ere long receive
other orders from Honolulu, for
several parties have been watching

with the view of investing.
For the benefit of our own readers
| we would add that the Baxter Por-
table Engines are manufactured by
j. G. Todd, Paterson, New Jersey,
OF No. II Barclay Street. New York.
They are made in six different sizes,
with boiler attached, from one to
four horse power, and vary in price
from $3.50 to $3.50. Messrs. Palmer
& Rey, 405 and 407 Sausome Street,
San Francisco, are agents for Cali
fornia. Ours was imported for us
by Messrs. Hackfeld & Co., and no
doubt the same firm would willingly
and promptly attend to similar orders
for others.

PASSAlG CITY HERALD AND OUR
SELVES.

The Passaic City Herald, a large
size weekly newspaper, printed and
published in Passaic City, New Jer-
sey, devotes nearly column to the
review of ourselves-the DAILY Bull
LETIN. Our "make-np and general
brisk appearance are referred to
in fattering terms, and surprise is
expressed at our 'enterprise.'
Our big, far-off contemporary
falls into slight error in supposing,
from an advertisement in the Bull
LEr1N, that the water supply OF Hon
olulu is furnished by artesian wells.
For his information we would say
that our main water supply is col
lected from running streams, and
conducted to the city in pipes.
There are also numerous artesian
wells in the city and it's suburbs,
mostly the property of private par
ties. The water from these wells is
principally used for irrigation, but
many households are supplied en-
tirely from the same source. This
water is believed to be purer and
better than what comes from the or
dinary source, and it is considered
quite a recommendation by those in
quest of residences to be assured
that "artesian water is laid on
We would also explain, for the
benefit of the Passaic City Herald,
the meaning of our standing notice,
that the BULLETIN is forwarded to
the other islands by EVERY oPPoRTU-
NIFTY" Communication between the
various islands of this group is eff
fected by means of steamers and
small sailing vessels, but with none
of these islands is the communication
daily, and with some of the smaller
ones it is somewhat irregular. So
we cannot regularly forward every
days issue on the day of publica-
ton, but we do the best we can
under the circumstances, and for
ward by eoery opportunity that
occurs.

LORD RGSEeERY.

Lord Rosebery, (Hon. Arch, p.
Primrose), who is expected to arrive
here on the Zealandia, is a Scotch
peer. He was born in 1S47 and
succeeded to the title in 1868. He
married Miss Rothschild, and has
been, until lately, Sir William
Harcourt's second at the Home
Office. Concerning his visit to
Australia a writer to the Melbourne
Age says. "He prossesses eloquence,
energy, and a good share of admins
trative ability. By virtue Of these
qualities, and of his adherence to
Liberal principles, the heir of the
Pnmroses is bound at some future
date to resume place in the govern
ing, as opposed to the governed
classes of this country. This makes
it especially desirable that he should
be brought to understand, and if
possible be induced to sympathise
with, the aims and aspirations of
that free democracy whose past gives
higher pledges to the future than
that of any existing country, except
Sydney. have the best authority
for saying that Lord Rosebery has
no public object in his mission,
which is purely one of personal
enjoyment and curiosity. Rumour
hath it that he is meditating
joining one of the big syndicates. If
rumour for once be. on the right
track, it is probable that Lord Rose
berry will penetrate into Western
Australia or queensland. At pre-
sent it is not his intention to make
any stay at Adelaide, and it is quite
possible that he may proceed direct
on to Sydney. 1t is, however, his
fixed purpose either going OF return
ing to stay some time in Melbourne,
and he will probably eXcursionise
considerably in Victoria during his
visit. Lady Rosebery is, / believe
