The beautiful service of the Episcopal
Church was most impressively read by
the Rev. Alexander Macintosh. The
musical portion was rendered by the
following quartette Misses Bertha and
Marie Won Holt, Messrs. T. May and 7.
NJ. Starkey, with Wray Taylor at the
organ. A very appropriate hymn was
sung, the first verse of which is:
Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled
Now Thy little lambs brief weeping;
Oh, how peaceful, pale and mild,
In it's narrow bed tits sleeping.
And no sign of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more.
After the services had been concluded
the remains were taken from the Cathe-
dral to the steamer Kinau, and will be
placed in the Makee family mausoleum
at Ulupalakua, Maui.
The deceased was a most bright and
promising little girl, and much sympa-
thy is extended to the bereaved family
on their loss by their numerous friends.

sailors Morier asks through the British
minister here for official contradiction of
the Cologne Gazette's assertion that he
held communications with Marshal Ba-
zaine during the war of 1870, and was
seeking to
BETRAY THE GERMAN ARMY.
Morier, though heartily disliked by
Bismarck, will get the contradiction he
desires. Bismarck knows him as holding
views on German politics similar to those
of Emperor Frederick He was a close
friend of Baron Won Baust during his
long period of diplomatic service at va
rious German courts. The English gov
eminent proposed him as an ambassador
at this place four years ago, but Bis
marck promptly rejected him.
The chancellor probably has cause
to suspect him of intriguing
against German interests since the time
of his rejection, but the charge of acting
as spy for Marshal Bazsine is incredi-
BILE. During the war Morier, then at
tached to the court at Darmstant, went
to Straussbourg in order to give help to
wounded Germans, and received the con-
findnce and respect of the German Of
ficials, but he has now acquired the cor
dial dislike of official circles at Berlin as
supposed enemy of German unity.

The Sons OF the Old Dominion Resident in Fort
Worth Organize Society.
Pursuant to call some sixty citizens
of Fort Worth who are natives of that
grand old commonwealth Virginia, met
last night at the businuss college hall to
organize society. Captain Thomas F.
West in brief, eloquent speech stated
the objects of the meeting. 1t was de-
cided to call the organization the
Virginia Society of Fort Worth

were eligible to membership. Several
gentlemen made good speeches when an
election for officers for the first year was
gone into, and resulted i'll the choice of
DR.. 7. W. Powell for president; Profess
sOr Alex HOgg, vice-president: s. T.
Bib, secretary: and w f. Birmingham
treasurer. A committee on permanent
organization composed of Thomas F.
West, W. d. l.. BOrum, a {.
S. Nicholson, G. p. Meade
and W. 7. Steele were appointed =.
President Powell made a very happy
speech and then it was decided to have Il
banquet i'll the near future, probably on
the night of New Years day, at which
all Virgnians in Fort Worth, their wives
and daughters could be present. The
committee on permanent organization will
report at meeting to be held Wednesday
night next.
The following telegram was read and
received with applause:
WACO, Tex, Dec. %, 1888,
Captain Thomas F. West and Native Virginian
of Fort Worth:
Your card calling meeting of native
Virginians, residents of your city and
county just received. As a Virginian |
am with you i'll spirit, and hope your
union may he productive of social and
material blessings to all Virginians in the

other i'll rejecting lustre upon our mother

standing arising between us would BE
by vast majority of all
thinking men on both sides of the Allan
tic. I fear speaking of the circumstances
as belonging TO the history of election
eering may have had an irritating effect
upon public opinion in America. Be that
asst may it is certain that any longer de-
layf in filing up Lord Sackville g

by the American people. I hold it to be
our-first duty to avoid the possibility of
anything that may lead to want of sim

l consider IL our second duty to avoid
any such possibility between the United

These great questions are awaiting solu-
tion-fshery and eXtradition-and these
we cannot hope 10 settle except under
conditions of real friendship between the
two countries. Therefore l ask the prime
minister whether the government intends
to appoint a minister to succeed Lord

Ne,rs From Stanley and Emin Bey-They
We're al HGdeiai.
ZANZIBAR, Dec. % One of the special
messengers sent into the interior in
Octob in the hope of obtaining news of
Emin and Stanley from the caravans has
sent dispatch announcing that h met
Arab traders from Wadelai who positive
" affirmed that Stanley and
Emin was there about Jan
nary 20. Stanley, the trader said,
had $50 men and plenty of stores. He
thad endured great privations: but he and
all his party were well, although eX-
tremely exhausted. The delay in reach
ing Whdelai was due to difficulties en-
countered on the route, the expedition
having to make long detOur toward the
northeast in order to avoid swamps and
hostile tribes. Emin was then in fairly
good personal health, though his Egypt
ian officers were grumbling and many of
his soldiers had deserted. The kings of
Uganda and Ungerow were hostile to
Emin, who was obliged in November to
repel incursions from the east. His gen.
eral health was good, but he had been
suffering from an affection of the eyes
for two months. A fortnight af
ter Sranley's arrival Emin re-
ceived via Lado message
from the mahdi pompously intimating his
intention to subdue the whole country as
far as the great lakes, and promising
good treatment if Emin submitted. Emin
replied that before evacuating he must
wait for the mahdi to prove the legiti-
macy of his claim to the province. Stan
ley i'll the meantime applied himself to
RESTORING order among the tTOODS and dis
tributing stores and ammiinitiOns. Emin
told Stanley he did not desire to leave
Wadelai. The entire route to the east
coast was most dangerous on account of
agitation among the tribes, and the hos
tility of Mwanga. Toward the middle of
April, hearing thar a force of the NAH
di's were comingy Emin ordered his ad-
vanced posts bftween Sufle and Lado
to retire to Wadelai, and Stanley
sent messengers to the kings
of Uganda and Ungorow. About the end
of April, when the traders left Wadelai,
Stanley was anxious, owing to the alb
sence of news from the rear guard on the
Aruwini, and was arranging to send
strong detachment in search of them
along the route which he himself
had followed. Stanley also urged
Emin TO leave Wadelai with him
and regain the coast. Stanley
sent out several couriers with news for
Europe. One was the courier who was
sent by the foreign consuls at Zanzibar to
apprIse Emin of the departure of a relief
expedition This courier had remained
at Wadalai and was sent back to the east
coast after the arrival of Stanley.
Another courier was sent III the direction
of theATuwlni.

LONDON, Dec. ~ In the house of

speaking on the Sackyille incident said:

the United States are peculiar. We use
the word foreign toward them because
there is other suitable expressions, but
i am 10th to use the term to the great
republic. The United States is, diplo-

Her citizens are mHinly men of the same

are very similar in their integral respects
to our own and are founded on the
same love. of liberty and law

1t is impossible to look upon such a peo-
pie as foreigners, though one is obliged

are Renewed.
Special to the Gazette.


AUSTIN, Ten, Dec. % .-Concerning
the coal mine troubles Governor Ross to-
day received the following letter from n Z.
] Stands, sheriff of Erath county:
81 believe l am able to suppress the
riots that may occur in this county
while / am present or when |
can get to the scene, but the mines are
twenty-seven miles away and when | am
there all is quiet. | am Informed how
ever that as soon as | leave the mines the
deSperadoes commence disturbance
during the night by firing guns all over
the camp and into store houses
and the Office of the company
while the officers are in the office.
They also intimidate the guards and en-
ployes by threats and violence, and the
company fears great damage will be done
when am away, and / am unable to
keep an armed force there at my own ex-
pense. l am informed that there
are about l25 men who are
opposing the mining company.
If you can send IA Company of men there
for while until things get Strengthened
out to work it would please the company
and may prevent the loss of life and
property.
Captain McMurray, with detachment
of rangers, has been ordered by Cover
nor Ross to go to the scene of the trouble.
