The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1885-02-12

THIS morning, precisely at eight
o'clock, a very interesting ceremony
took place at the Palace. A few
minutes before the hour detach-
ment of soldiers marched from the
barracks with the Royal Standard
and a new flag for Her Majesty
Queen Kapiolani. AS the clock
struck eight they were hoisted up on
the top of the building, the drum
corps playing from the barracks.
The Queens flag, which was hoisted
for the first time, is very handsome
one. 1t is white ground, in the
centre of which is a red circle with
the inscription "Kalaualani," the
whole of which is surmounted by a
crown.

PUBLIC OPINION.

There are many evils affecting
the Suffrage in the south, but no

exists in Rhode Island. 1t is a plu-

SENATOR EyARTs AND SILVER.

The story that Senator Evarts
proposes to deliver an elaborate
speech at an early day in favor of
the continued coinage of silver,
says the Savannah News, is pro-
nounced by the senator himself to
be without Foundation. He says
that he is not preparing a speech on
the silver question, but that he may
take part in any discussion on that
question which may arise.
His views, he says, have under
gone no change since he was a dele
gate to the silver conference at
Paris in 1881. He believes in main
tanning both metals in the service of
commerce, and while he does not
say whether or not he IS in favor Of
a suspension Of the coinage of-silver,
the logical conclusion from his re-
marks is that his vote will be re-
corded in favor of a suspension.
It will not be possible to retain
both silver and gold in the service
of commerce if the coinage of sill
yer is continued at the present rate,
because it will MT be long before
silver will drive gold out of circula-
ton When the secretary Of the
treasury explains to the senate IL
nance committee why he has not
made any bond calls-as he proba-
bly, will soon after the holiday re-
cess-it will appear, doubtless, that
he has had great difficulty III pre-
venting gold from disappearing
from the service of commerce alto
gether as far as this country is con
cernod. 1t has been stated, and the
statement is no doubt correct, that
so far from being able to call bonds
the secretary has been forced to ac-
cept the loan of a large sum of gold
/ from the New York banks to keep
his gold reserve fund up to the re,
CURED amount
The silver men would be very
glad of the assistance of the New
York senator, and they heard with
| JOY, doubtless, the report that they
could count on him as an ally. I'll
hasn't taken his stand with then
yet, however, and it is by no mean
certain that he is at all in harmony
with their views. The way to re
tain both metals in the service o
commerce, is to com only SO mucI
silver as can be put in circulation
without causing loss of confidenc
in that metal.

The Cincinnati Iimts-S ar, g con
serva,ive republican paper, but by
no means mngwumpish, contains
this rather reassuring paragraph:
"Senator Logan's intentions with
reference to the administration are
still wrapped in mystery. Conflict
ing reports discourage all specula-
ton, but there are no fears that he
will set the Potomac on fire." 1t
seems, then, that the Senator is by
no means as hot as he was thought
to be.

SENATOR EDMUNDS AND PO-
IYGAMY

Senator Edmunds, in his first bill
on the subject of polygamy, says
the Philadelphia Times, only in
valSed the little finger of the United
States Government in the work of
suppressing the abomination. In
his new bill, which was reported by
the Senate judiciary committee on
Monday, he proposes to bring the
whole administration right arm
down upon the giant evil in one
crushing and externnating blow.
The political power of Mormonism
is to be assailed at all points and
short work is to be made Of the de
faint body of pestiferous lawbrcak
ers who have maintained Tor years
a system Of organized opposition to
the enforcement of righteous en-
actment
The bill sets aside and annuls all
acts of the Utah legislature and the
so.cailed State of desert which al
low female suffrage and enable lille
Ultimate children to inherit the
fathers estate, as we'll as those
which provide that prosecution for
adultery can only be begun on the
complaint of the husband or wife
II also provides for the management
of the church corporation by a
board of fourteen trustees, TO be
appointed by the United States, and
directs the attorney general of the
United States to institute proceed
ings to forfeit and escheat the prop
erty of all corporations obtained or
held iii violation Of section 1890 of
the revised statutes Of the United
ttes, which limits their possessions
of real estate to fifty thousand dol
lars. 1t also makes the husband or
wife competent witnesses in cases
Of polygamy and compels them to
testify.
The passage and enforcement of
this act would make thorough work
Of the extirpation of polygamy.
1t may seem harsh to people who
believe in letting everybody do
about as they please, but it is none
too sweeping to be thoroughly effec-
tive. 1t is no kindness even to the
misguided and refractory poly ga
mists to attempt TO suppress their
pet sin by halfway measures. They
have defed The law for nearly half
century and the quicker they are
taught TO respect it the better for
themselves and everybody else. Pc

itself permanently upon our social
system and the quicker and more

Indian Land Leases,

WASHINGTON, d. G., January 49,
The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs
has resumed the investigation of the
land leases in the Indian Territory DIR.
Abair, of Cherokee, testified that he was
a member of the Cherokee Company,
which offered to pay 100000 for the
lease of the Cherokee strips, or, If that
was not enough to give sl25,000 for it.
His company failed to secure it, another
organization getting it for 100000. He
could not understand why the higher
amount was refused unless money was
used to influence the Council.
William N. Rasmus, licensed trader,
Cherokee, gave testimony which IN
dicated that money had been used to in-
fuence the Council. He said that money
was very scarce when the session OF the
Cherokee Council began, but when it
ended, an unusual number OF fifty and
one hundred dollar bills were brought to
his store for change. 1t was common
talk that those who granted the lease
were paid. One member of the Council,
Samuel Downing, admitted to witness
that he had received $500 for his vote.

AN AVALANCHE.
Terrible Destruction Wrought in an Aus
trian Village BY an Avalanche-Houses
Wrecked and the Inmates Buried Beneath
the Snow-A Large Nu5aber Killed and
Injured.


Injured.
LONDON, January 10.
Vienna dispatches describe snow
slide in the mountainous Province of Car.
inthia, in Austria, which overwhelmed,
in an instant, the portion Of the city OF
Glagenfurt which lies under the Alpine
foothills. The snow fall has. been un-
usually heavy this winter, but no danger
was anticipated until the middle of last
week, when slight earthquake shocks
were reported at various points in the
Carnic Alps. There was anxiety in
Glagenfurt, not SO much because
earthquakes might visit them, but
because slight vibration Of the
mountains would start an avalanche that
might and would wreck the old historic
town. Outside Of these fears, some hun
ters brought the unwelcome news that
there were signs of movements along the
snow masses of the mountains, but they
attributed it to q partial thaw. Yesterday
morning, however, when worshipers were
on their way to the Cathedral, heavy
rumbling was heard far up on the noun
tains. A glance upward from the city saw
the snow-clad surface in billowy motion,
and in less than three minutes the avail
anche came with
A CRASH AND ROAR
upon the outskirts of the town, burying
some houses thirty feet in; snow, and
sweeping lighter structures before it like
straws. Parties of men at once rushed to
the rescue of the overwhelmed citizens.
On the upper shore it was found that many
of the inhabitants had been utterly swept
away. Twenty-Five corpses were discover
|. ed, some of them stripped of every por-
ton of clothing and horribly mangled.
Nearly hundred persons were found SUI
fering from confused wounds, or
crushed and helpless under beams and
snow. Lower down, the work of
digging out the snow-imprisoned was be-
gun and carried on with vigor. On the
upper slope child was found unhurt,
though imprisoned under head of debris
which had been stopped from descending
! to the valley by bowlder. Its parents
had been swept away with their dwelling.
\ Many affirm that an earthquake shock had
| been felt, but it is held that the fall OF
| such mass of snow would account Tor
any vibrations felt.
