The Maxwell Land Grant Case.

SANTA FE. N. NJ, Jan. 30.-The SUI
preme court of New Mexico t. -day gave
its decision in the Maxwell land grant
case, affirming the title to that property
and dismissing the bill of the government
to set aside the patent. The history OF
the case in brief Is as follows: Shortly
after the bill of the government was
brought in Colorado a similar bill was
filed in the United States courts in New
Mexico to be held IN obeyance until after
the former suit was tried. Judge
Brewer dismissed this suit and the SUI
preme court of the United States sus
tanned him. Notwithstanding this the
department of Justice ordered the New
Mexico suit, involving precisely the same
evidence and questions of law. to be
prosecuted resulting in its dismissal by
the Judge ofthe district court on a demur-
rer, which decision was to-day sustained
by the higher court. This is doubtless
the closing act by the department of Jus.
tice, as it is not likely they will wish tc
appear again before the supreme court Of
the United States.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Sudden Death of the. Crown
Prince Of Austria.
RumOrs that His Demise Was
Caused by Shooting.
Fighting Probable Between
Germans and Samoans.
Death of the Grown Prince of Austria,

VIENNA, Jan. 30.-Archduke Rudolf,
Austrian crown prince and heir apparent
to the throne, died suddenly to-day,
The prince died at Micerling, near
Baden.
Nothing definite as to the cause of the
crown princes death has yet been
learned. by some it is believed to be due
to heart disease. lie was found dead in
his bead this morning by his valet.
An official announcement hat apoplexy
was the cause of the princes death has
modified the alarm OF the populace which
was arising from a rumOr that the prince
had been killed while out shooting, as he
went on a shooting exclusion to Mcyerling
Monday accompanied by several guests.
On the announcement of his death the
reichsrath adjourned amid great excite
ment. The court theaters and all places
of amusement are closed this evening.
Many persons here still refuse to believe
that death resulted from appolexy. Wild
rumors of shooting by accident or design
are current. The crown prince always
slept with his bed room door aiar, but on
the morning of his death the door was
found locked. This fact is the subject of
much comment.
LONDON, Jan. 30.-The Daily Neus
says: 1t is stated that official private
kilograms from Vienna affirm that the
death of the crown prince was due to n
wound inflicted with a rifle.

and about = O'Clock this morning his
house was entered by a party of men
whose faces were concealed by handker-
chiefs. The brutal husband was taken
from his bed and whipped severely with
long. keen switches. When the house
was visited this morning O'Neil and his
family had disappeared. Nobody knows
where they have gone. The furniture
had been turned over and scattered about
the room. Some OF it had been broken,
anu Tue Dtu nAu Dcen uTaWn out ana the
bedding scattered around.
Several neighbors say that they rushed
to the scene when they heard O'Neal's
shrieks, but were warned by the regula-
tors to take to their heels. One man.
more intrepid than the others, secreted
himself aud WATCHED the White Caps at
their work. when O'Neal reached

''the rascal chased his family from the

compelled to go out into the snow unpro-

or q man in woman's clothing. She had
4 bundle of whips and switches which
she distributed to the crowd. A rush
was made into the house and O'Neil
dragged out and given twenty-fi ye lashcs.
When this was done the woman ordered
that he be rolled in the snow, and this
was done to a nicely. The crowd then

TIE NEW ELECTION LAW.

This law, which was designed to
embody the principal features of the
Australian ballot, was so amended
and changed in its passage through
the Legislature Of 1888, as to divest
it of some of the most important
safeguards of the original, particu-
larry that of balloting in secret. But
such as it is, it is great improve
ment on our former system. The
law was published entire in the
GAZETTE of October 2, 1888, and in
the Session laws passed that year. 1t
has los sections, and as its provi-
sions ought to be known by every
voter, We have made a synopsis of its
more important provisions:
Section 8, provides for q general

Kingdom. on the first Wednesday
of February. 1890. which falls on the
5th.
Section 6. provides for the issuing
of an election proclamation" by the
Minister of the Interior, at least
thirty days before the election, with
full details, etc.
Section 9 and 10, provides for the
election of twenty-four mobiles, nine
on Oahu. six on Maui, Molokai and
Lanai, six on Hawaii and three on
Kauai, Niihau, one-third on each
island to serve two, four and six
years each
Section IL, provides the quslifca-
tons of Mobiles, to be q male subject
of . years of age, or over, resident
in the Kingdom not less than three
years, owner of $1,000 worth of tax
able property. or an income of not
less than $500.
Section IL, provides for twenty
four Representatives = eight for
Oahu, SIX for Maui, Molokai and
Lanai. seven for Hawaii, and three
for Kauai and Niihau-to serve for
two years, with $50 pay for that
term
Section Il, prescribes the qualif-
cations OF a candidate for represen-
tstiye, to be a male subject OF q
years or over, knows how to read and
write Hawaiian, English OF some
European language; understand &C
counts; domiciled in the Kingdom
for three years Immediately proceed
ing the election; owner OF $500 In
real estate, or has an income of $3.50
3 year.
Section 3. bars every person in
the employ Of the government or
having any contract with govern
ment from seat In the Legislature.
Nor can any member Of the Iegisla
ture hold any Office under govern
ment during the term he may be
elected for.
