Not Lynchcd bus Murdered.

HoLLIsTER, Cal. Nov. 14.-Dr. Powers,
a well-knowr resident of this place, was
found hanged to tree on the road near
here on Sept. Is. At that time it was
thought to be a case of lynching, but later
suspicion pointed to murder, and eighteen
persons were arrested for alleged COM
plicity in the crime. Richard Alexander

the detectives. Levy Alexander. father of
the confessor. to-day made public its con-
tents. 1t shows that the whole matter was
instigated and executed by John S.
Prewett,. who, partly by strategy and partly
by coercion. inveigled eighteen others into
becoming accessories to the crime. Powers
was shot the evening of Sept. II by
Prewett, while on his way home, in the
presence of young Alexander and Andrew

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-It is said that
the appointment clerk of the postofice de-
partment refused to-day to show the pa
pers in the Redfeld. Dak., case to Boynton,
as NJ. Fl. Day was the accredited representa-
tive of the Democracy. The rivalry be-
tween the national and state committee
men has become intense but amusing.
Boynton affects to desire as much calumnia-
tion by Day as possible, asserting that it
will be considered eulogy out in Dakota.
Day assumes lofty indifference, displays
his scalps and does not argue his legitimacy.

The amount credited to the Phoenix AS
surance company of Hartford, Conn.,, in
yesterdays dispatches should have been
allotted to Phoenix of London. The seven
subcommitteeS organized for the purpose of
searching out the victims of yesterdays
fire have had busy day. Two hundred
heads of families have been listed as worthy
of every relief that it is possible to extend.
Thus far $40. 900 have been expended in
temporary relief. Many pitiful cases of
destitution are reported. among the victims
being large number of educated and re-
fined families of small means, who lost
their little homes and who hesitate to per-
nit their condition to become known. One
member of the relief committee received
six letters from families of this description,
asking whether aid could not be extended
them privately by the committee. The
grand jury to-day passed the following res
olution:
Resolved, That in its opinion the citizens of
Galveston were unable to provide adequately
FOR the relief of victims of the fire. and that
contributions from every source should be
and were hereby solicited.
The honorable jurymen place the number
of destitute much higher than the citizens
committee.
AT meeting of the citizens relief COM
mittee this evening the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this COM
mittee that while the people of Galveston are
not soliciting contributions from abroad for
the sufferers. yet they are deeply grateful for
all donations which may be made from any
quarter.
The state executive board of the Knights
of Labor nave resolved themselves into a
relief committee for the purpose of receiv-
ing and distributing money, clothes and
provisions sent to the sufferers. This COM
mittee requests all the assemblies OF the
Knights of Labor throughout the country to
forward their contributions to them for dis
tribution. Contributions can be addressed
to p. 81. Golden, Galveston. The cash
subscriptions have steadily increased.
Among the largest received to-day and to-
night is one from c. P. Huntington. who

THE WAIKIKI FIRE,

The first information received re-
garding the fire at Waikiki, which
was barely in time for Yesterdays
issue of this paper, was incorrect.
1t was not Mr.. Freetll's house, but
an old barn belonging to him, which
was ON fire. That building, together
with barn, a cottage and a wood
shed owned by Mr.. A. j. Cart
wright, were burned down. The
loss to the latter gentleman is
$4,000, covered by insurance. There
was a scarcity of water, buta strong
breeze blowing to the sea reduced
the danger to surrounding property.
How the fire originated is unknown.
Its occurrence is a strong argument
for the projected fire company at
Waikiki. = Nov. 25th.

TROUBLE AT SPRlCXELSvlLLE.

There was serious trouble among
the Japanese laborers on the Spreck-
elsville, Maui, plantation, week
before last. Hon. A. S. Cleghorn,
Inspector-General of Immigrants,
and Mr.. Ito,. one of the japanese
consular secretaries, went to the
spot, and with more or less diff
Guilty succeeded in restoring order
and suhordination among the re-
calcitrant Japs. 1t appears that the
licensed liquor dealer at Wailuku
had furnished the japanese with a
considerable supply of liquor, to
carry away with them, contrary to
the condition of license requiring all
the stuff sold to he drunk on the
premises. The consequence was
that the laborers inllamed with drink
became disorderly and refused to
work. Hence the necessity for
official intervention as stated above.

THE LAWLESS element.

In yesterdays issue a correspon-
dent proposed a remedy for the
growing prevalence of predatory
offenses. 1t is, however, very doubt
full If such measures as he recon-
mended are within the scope of eX-
isting law. Yet it is absolutely
necessary that residents should be
protected, and if that is beyond the
power of the authorities to have
done, then property owners will have
to combine in some method of de-
fensive action upon their mutual be-
half. People who have lived here a
long time allege that roost- -robbing
and similar offenses have always
been common. Nevertheless there
can be no doubt that the petty
criminal element has never been
larger than it is now in the commune
ity. Neither is there any probability
that either the number of marauders
will diminish, if no effective check
intervene, or that the degree of their
criminality will change except IN the
way of aggravated Nervousness.

PACIFIC STEAMSHIP COMPETITION.

The surprising news came by the
steamship City of Sydney, that ar
rived from the Australian colonies
last night, that the arrangement for
carrying the mails between Austria
liza and America, by way of New
Zealand and the Hawaiian Islands,
had been broken up. Mr.. John
Pearce, of John Elder & Co., Glas-
gov, owners ! Eof the steamships
Zealandia and Australia, who had
engaged to have those vessels par
ticipate in the new contract initiated
and promoted to conclusion by
the New Zealand Government, has
Withdrawn from the contract with
his two steamships and announced
his intention of starting an opposi-
tion line from Sydney to San Fran
cisco, calling at Fiji and Honolulu
but leaving Auckland out. There
is no very definite cause assigned
for Mr.. Pearce's withdrawal, but one
or two evident facts throw some light
upon his action. During the con-

tract OF Une IdClllU MAIL Oleuiuoulp
Company, New Zealand is con-
sidered in Sydney to have system
atically subordinated the interests
of New South Wales to her own. in
dealing with the service. This sell
fish policy is alleged to have been
at the bottom of New Zealand's
single handed efforts to have a new
contract negotiated as that with the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company
was approaching its end. We have
not space, at this writing, to particu-
larize, but the foregoing is the gist
of public opinion as reflected in
the Sydney press. Then the new
arrangements, involving tranship-
ment at Honolulu, have proved ex-
ceedingly unpopular in commercial
circles of Sydney. An agitation
has gained great strength there, in
consequence of the disaffection re.
ferred to, in favor of direct SER
vice. A meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, and another of influen-
tial gentlemen representing the COM
mercial and shipping interests Of
Sydney, have both strongly pro-
tested against the break in the route
at Honolulu. In reply to 4 dele
cation from the Chamber conveying
their views aforementioned, Mr..
See. the new Postmaster-Gen eneral
(there has just been change of
Government in New South Wales
defended the new arrangement and
slgniiied his opinion that he should
have to carry out the engagement,
in connection herewith, entered
into by Mr.. Norton, his predecessor.
The contract has been ratified by
the New Zealand Legislature, but
has yet to be submitted to that
of New South Wales. SO far
as the latter colony is con-
cerned, therefore, in view of the
strong feeling against the composite,
and in favor of a direct service, the
contract is in n critical position. In
the meantime Mr.. Pcarcc has insti-
tuted direct service, as heretofore
stated, between Sydney, Honolulu
and San Francisco. Doubtless he
is confident of obtaining a subsidy
from New South Wales. without
which it is scarcely probable that the
direct line can be maintained. II
may here be stated that the firm OF
John Elder 4 Co. has never ap.
proved of the agreement made be-
tween the Pacific Mail Company and
the Oceanic Company, during the
late contract, by which the latter
bought from the former monopoly
of the freight and passenger traffic
between Honolulu and San Fran.

now Independent deserve liberia

The withdrawal of Mr.. Pearce has
not compelled the abandonment o.
the contract by the Unlon-O Oceanic
combination. The Union COMPANY

short respite from monopoly in ou

Stock Running Together.

A very common mistake or fault is
committed by farmers in permitting
all kinds of stock to run together in
one yard or enclosure. Horses,
colts-whlch III frisky creatures
bulls, cows, sheep, pigs and fowl all
run in one yard or field. The horses
worry the colts; the colts chase the
cows and sheep; the cows hook the
colts; the bulls gore the horses; the
pigs worry the cows and sheep, and
often destroy the newborn calves
and lambs; the fowls and ducks are
trampled on and there is a sad time
all around. And the farmer says he
has bad luck and somehow or other
something is always going wrong.
