THE APACHE RAID.

Our American news items con-
tanned reference to the raid of the
Apache Indians in New Mexico and
Arizona. They are led by the Chief
Geronimo, who has seventy fighting
men with him. This time they have
murdered between seventy and
eighty peaceable settlers. On three
former occasions Geronimo was cap
tured by United States troops and
turned loose on his reservation. This
is his fourth and blOodiest raid. Gen
eral Crook has nearly 800 men in his
command, but apparently does moth
ing. The soldiers have orders not to
fire on the Indians, but to capture
them without bloodshed if possible.
Public indignation is intense, and
the citizens are organizing volunteer
parties to go In pursuit. Meanwhile
Geronimo is heading for old Mexico,
where the Governor of Chirihuahua
is preparing a warm reception for
him. His ExceIlency has a much
better record as an Indian fighter
than General Crook, who is trans
parently a military fraud. The In
dian rising is widening in it's circuit,
the NavaOes near Fort Wingate, n.
NJ, having taken the warpath. Set
tiers and miners everywhere are
gathering into the towns, abandon
ing ranches and mines. The follow
ing dispatch from Silver City, n. NJ,
will show the kind of warfare the
Apaches are waging against the
whites:
Colonel Phillips and family, who were
murdered by the Aapches, and his daughter,
who had been hung up alive by meat hook
stuck in the back of her head, have been
brought in, all horribly mutilated. Mrs.
Phillips eyes were gOuged out and her ears
and breasts cut off. She was otherwise
brutality and shamefully mangled. The
bodies were heartrending, sickening sight
The citizens are frantic that so many men,
women and children should be murdered

ia nily. They Immediately broke off
sucial Intercourse with lIim.
Miss HagO's life anu conversation
SCENE absorbed in Pinser. She en-
ployed a good deal of her time in
writing. She was a beautiful writer
and at one time offered to Mr.. Mat
toon all her manuscript, saying that
if he would publish it some day it
would startle the world and bring
him fortune. Her father, who was
devotedly attached to her, used to
tell her that she could write better
than he could eighteen years ago.
Pinser left Halifax with his regi-
ment for Barbados, and Adele
followed him. After she went
away she wrote letters to friends
here, which are still preserved. At
the time she was here one of the
sons of Louis Philippe visited Hall
fax, and learning of Miss Hugo's
presence in the city, visited her.
Some years ago she became insane
and was placed in a private asylum
either in New York or Boston. The
fate of the man who betrayed her is
unknown.

BEFORE CHEF JUSTICE JUDD.
Tuesday. june I6

TUESDAY, June 10th.
In the matter of the estate OF the late
Dowager Queen Emma Kaleleonalani, the
petition for proof Of will and for letters tes-
tamentary thereon was read. Messrs. J. NJ.
Monserrat and Cecil Brown appeared for the
petition, aud Albert X. Kunuiakea ana
others against the same.
Mr.. Mouserrat read the petition and order
of hearing, and fled aflidavits of due publ
cation of notice Of hearing.
Mr.. f. Preston appeared as counsel for
Albert Kunuiakea, and filed grounds of OPP
position to probate of will.
After she petition had been read, Mr..
Preston contended that it was irregular.
That the petition should have been verified
by the oath of A. J. Cartwright, ST., the
executor of the will, aud not by the counsel.
After referring to the law on the matter,
Mr.. Cecil Brown moved to withdraw the
petition, with leave to file new one,
which was granted.
The new petition, which is identical with
the old one, except that it is sworn to by
the executor instead of by counsel, was filed
in the afternoon by Mr.. Monserrat, and
Friday, July 18th, was designated as the
day when the same would be heard.
The grounds of contesting the will are,
that the executrix was not Of sound and dis
posing mind when the alleged will was
executed by her, and that undue influence
was used by those about her, and with
whom she did business.
Claims against the estate of the late James
Wood were filed with the Clerk Of the Court,
and petition asking that an allowance be
granted for the support of the children of
the deceased.
The only other matter heard was that
of the estate of Kalawale (k), an Alabama
claimant, deceased, which had been post
poned to give time for claimant on Maui,
Kaulumalama wv, to present herself. She
did SO, and her claim being proved and
allowed, the administrator was ordered to
pay the money into Court, to be invested by
the Clerk for the benefit of the claimant, she
being minor.

VICTOR HUGO'S DAUGHTER.
Her Constant Devotion 10 the Man
Who Had Ruinea Her.

NEW YORK, May PA special to
the Tribune from Halifax says:
The "Herald" publishes some de-
tails of the romantic career of Adele,
daughter of Victor Hugo, to whom he
left 4, 1000, 600 francs half of his for
tune. The facts are furnished by
Robert Nation, @. c., well-kuown
criminal lawyer, who acted fer her
professionally on several occasions.
Adele, named for her mother, was
her fathers favorite child. She was
an exceedingly handsome woman,
tall and stately, of dark complexion,
piercing black eyes, wavy hair of jet
black, high forehead and Roman nose.
Her story, as told by herself, is as fol-
lows: When a mere girl, living with
her parents, in Brussels, she became
acquainted with a young man, one
Pinser, belonging to a wealthy family
then staying at Brussels. She fell
madIy in love with him and he APP
peared equally infatuated, so they
became formally engaged and were
secretly married, as she believed
Owing to their youth and the oppOsi-
ton of Pinser's family the affair was
kept private, and he promised 10
make her his wife publicly in due
time. Meanwhile he was gazetted
Lieutenant in the British army and
ordered with his regiment, the famous
Sixteenth, to Halifax. Just previous
to this he wrote to her to meet him in
London, where they would be form
ally married. Victor Hugo refused to
let her go, and said that if Pinser
wanted to marry her he must do so at
Brussels. But Adele insisted. Finally
her parents gave way, the mother ac-
cOmpanying her to London, but be-
fore they reached there Pinser had
started with his regiment for Halifax
The mother and daughter returned
to Brussels, and shortly afterward
Adele candestinely left home, re-
solved to follow the man she so madiy
loved. Arriving at New York, she
made her way to Halifax and lived
there for nearly three years. Pinser
proved recreant, but she seems to
have followed him day and night,
and frequently declared to family
with whom she boarded that he
should never marry another woman
while she lived. She was eccentric,
and never went out unless deeply
yelled. At night she went out alone
in disguise, wearing a high hat, top
boots, and carrying q stick. All her
letters were addressed to Nine.
Pinser," and she received monthly
remittances of 500 each from her
father. Pinser repudiated all knowl-
edge of or connection with Adele
Hugo, and had not been here long
ere he became engaged to the
daughter of }. w. Johnston, then
Premier of Nova Scotia. This COM
ing to Adele's ears, she confided her
history in professional confidence to
Mr.. Nation, and that gentleman
sent letter to Pinser, whose alleged
relations with Miss Hugo then came
to the knowledge of the Johnston

less of the average American female,
rural or urban. The chance Of getting
letter from department of the
Government, and something for
nothing at the same time, is too great
to be missed by the average American
female; and this popularity may
very well explain the state Of facts to
which Mr.. Nesbit referred. A word
Of practical knowledge is worth a
column of generalization, and we
shall Offset Mr.. Nesbit's opinion with
that of the New York DRY Goods
Bulletin" an authority on the silk
trade. It says;
Although heartily in accord with the
movement to introduce and develop silk
cultare in the United States, we do aot think
it wise to have failures established by the
Government, as proposed in Louisians, Cal
ifornia and other States. How much will
the cost of Keeling silk be Who will sell
the silk reeled, the Government or indi-
viduals. when the best French, italian and
Japan silks are sold for SIS to s. rs in New
York? We can't understand how American
reeled raw silk could be sold at q profit.

THE TOBACCO TRADE IN THE STATES.

Considering the organized opposi-
ton to the use of tobacco, on sanitary
and moral grounds, the manufacture
of the tweed" has made rapid pro-
gress of late years. Indeed, the to-
bacco trade is Que of the great nation
al industries of America. The Ma
tional Bureau of Statistics, in its
official statement of the tobacco
business, gives the number of cigars
manufactured in 1884 at 3,457, 309,017,
being the largest quantity ever made
in the United States in single year.
This production of cigars used up &c.,
100000 pounds of leaf, and of course
gave employment to an army of peo-
pie in it's growth, curing, packing and
manufacture. The ultimate result
doubtless was waste; but in all inter
mediary processes the tobacco indus
try did only good to the community
at large, in the profitable employ
ment of labor and contribution of
taxes.
The expansion of the American
tobacco trade is remarkable. In 1872
there were ,5O7, ZOO, 600 cigars made,
using S7,675, 900 pounds of leaf. Since
then the increase annually has been
steady, except in the years 1875 and
1877, when the manufacture of cigars
fell of. These were years of great
depression throughout the Eastern
States. In 1872 there were 20,69I, 900
cigarettes manufactured; in 1884 there
were 994, 1874 200, using up 4,971,0O0
pounds of tobacco. The Bureau of
Statistics, however, shows that "other
manufactures" consumed the bulk of
the tobacco crop. In 1894, under this
head, the consumption was I27, 1884, 900
pounds. In other words, the production
of manufactured tobacco in the United
States last year was equivalent to
21S, 825 900 pounds of prepared leaf.
This, however, does not represent the
consumption of tobacco in the States
during 1884, which was-domestic
leaf, 297, 779, 900 pounds foreign leaf,
11,O75, 200 pounds being a total of
sos, s54, 900 pounds.
This is a stupendous showing, and
illustrates the difficulties in the way
of those who seek to prevent the
popular use of tobacco. But the home
consumption is not all. There is a
very large export, which brings
another class of capitalistic interests
into play. During 1884 no less than
1872, 900, 900 pounds of tobacco were ex-
ported. The increase in the con-
sumption of cigars has been at the
rate of per cent per annum for the
past three years. Every possible de-
vice is used to promote consump-
ton, as the following extract from an

POINTS ABOUT SILK CULTURE.

Silk culture is being stimulated in
every possible way in California.
There is a State Board Of Silk Culture
with a steam filature in San Fran
cisco which has proved fizzle /; and
there is a Ladies' Silk Culture Asso-
citation which is working energetic
ally. The latter has bought fifteen
acres of land at Piedmont for NOM
inal sum, on the western slope of the
Contra Costa range behind Oakland,
ON which mulberry trees are to be
planted. The soil, according to Pro-
lessor Hilgard, of the State Univers-
ity, is adapted to those trees, being
full of lime and potash. A cocoOnery
and filature are to be erected on the
tract. IL this were done it is expected
that the United States will use the
Piedmont tract as an experimental
silk-raisIng station. Everything, it
will be seen, is being accomplished
either by associated effort, public sub
scription, or State aid; and the sue
cess of the Piedmont silk worm farm
will entirely depend upon whether
Uncle Sam runs it as one of his pet
agricultural projects.
In various schools of the State the
pupils have been interested in silk
culture, and are being trained to
manipulate the worms. This is the
correct way to proceed if ever the silk
industry is to amount to anything in
America. By persistent advertising,
however, demand for eggs has been
created, and the Agricultural Bureau
is buying them for free distribution
throughout the country. This is the
only occasion, the "Alta " remarks,
which has yet presented itself for any
Californian to make n trifie of money
from silk worms. They can sell their
stock of eggs to the National Govern
meat and thus realize upon their
enterprise. Unfortunately this is but
too true, every attempt heretofore to
manipulate the silk industry on
commercial basis in California having
failed-and it has been tried there
upon quite an extensive SCALE ny
Italian experts.
At the same time it is only fair to
state that Mr.. Nesbit, Chief Clerk OF
the Department OF Agriculture at
Washington, under the Republican
regime, expressed the opinion that
silk culture is to he the coming in
dustry Of the American farm house.
This idea is based upon the fact that
Of z, 600 letters received in one day by
the Department, 25 per cent. asked
for silk cocoons, mulberry leaves and
information about silk culture. or
course this conclusion is ridiculous to
anyone who knows anything OF the
exaggerated curiosity and acquisitive-
