TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES

Advices from Honolulu state that kala-
kaua refused to recognize w. III. Reverence
as Uuited States cousul-general because he
was dismissed from Office as Hawaiian con-
sui at San Francisco for cause, declaring
that his appointment was an insult, but
finally yielded to the solicitations OF his
ministers and recognized him.
At Pittsburg, August 8, the Hungarian
rioters proceeded to Bessemer and on the
way met John M. Daglon, who was riding
in a buggy. The infuriated mob overturned
the buggy and beat and cut him 80 badly
that his life is despaired of. At Bessemer,
after be ting two men, they made de.
scent upon the store, and breaking the
windows and doors, carried OF all the
bread and bologna they could find on the
premises. Secretary Watchern addressed
and finally succeeded in making them un-
derstand that the strike was over aud in
their favor, The Huns then retired to
their houses.
At San Francisco August 8, in the super.
ior court Judge Hague decided the suit OF

1t Was Emptied of Its Young Pupils by
the Railroad Slaughter at Armagh.
The dreadful accident at Armagh is still
the one sorrowful topic OF interest in Dub
lin. 1t is by far the worst railway accident
that has ever occurred in Ireland, and is
aggravated by the fact that it could have
been avoided by the exercise Of a small
amount of common sense and prudence.
Even when the detached carriages had
started an efficient brake would have ar
rested their progress, but the guard testi.
fies that he tried the brake and found it
utterly useless.
MY Dublin correspondent writes: II was
there on the day after the occurrence, and
will find it difficult to ever efface from my
memory the fearful sights and scenes that
met my view. The whole district is panic.
stricken, the people seeming unable to real
ize that so many OF their relatives and
friends have come to a frigLtful end. In
deed, in some cases the injuries were of such
a nature as to suggest that some fell fiend
had been at work. The scene OF the acci-
dent is in the midst of q smiling country,
with verdant hedgerows, waving meadows
and cornfelds, suggestive OF peace and in
dustry, and contrasted terribly with the
associations. The line in question, known
as the Newry & Armagh railway, has been
only recently acquired and worked by the
Great Northern Railway company.
"Among the minor incidents of the dis
aster l may mention that at Armagh is a
small Methodist national school, which is
now closed. Its busy hum is no longer
heard. for it's scholars have been simply
annihiIated, and their merry voices that
once filed the school rdom are now stilled
in death. They formed part OF the ill'fated
excursion, and only few OF them escaped.
The school will in all probability remain
closed until a new generation OF children
has grown up to take the place OF their
hapless predecessors"

BELTGERENT REDSKINS.

The Mission the Scene of a Big Drunk and
Shooting scrape.
Mr.. Joe Menard returned yesterday from
d three days visit to the Flathead coun-
try. He had d very interesting trip and
saw the Indians iudulgein series OF capers
outside OF the usual run of things. For
several days past the Indians have been
getting plenty OF whisky, and on Wednesday
evening their appetite ior the ardent cullni.
mated in q grand drunk. During the evening
one of the redskins rode horse into Dem
ers' store, and other acts OF recklessness
occurred. A row occurred among the in.
toxicated Indians, and one OF the Finleys
shot one OF the rioters in the leg. Another
redskin was dubbed over the head with a
gun barrel until he was senseless. In the
course OF the melee forty or fifty shots
were fired.
Pierre Paul was a conspicuous figure
among the Indians, says Mr.. Menard, and
he openly defes the whites to arrest him.
He was well mounted and had two six
shooters on his saddle and two in his belt,
while be wildly waved short.barrelled re-
peating rifle in the mir. The Indians on
the reservation are afraid OF Paul, aud
Mr.. Mienard thinks that the half-breeds
would help to capture him. La La Zee is
there but has nothing to say.
There are about twenty lodges OF Koote-
nais there and an unusual number OF Gree
and Blackfoot Indians are on the reserva-
tion. :.
The LIQUOR is obtained through hall
breeds who make regular trips to Missoula
and other points. Liquor is now causing
all the trouble.

MORE CAPITAL TALK.
The Peculiar Arguments Advanced by
Some of the Enemies of Butte,

The Peculiar Arguments Advanced by
Some of the Enemies of Butte.
A MINER reporter met Hon. G. W. Sta
pleton, a Silver Bow delegate to the consti-
tutional convention, Saturday afternoon,
and, of course, asked him about the CAPT.
tai removal question. The gentleman said
be supposed that by this time everybody
knew about all there was to the matter.
He, like Mr.. Sergeant, who wasinterviewed
on the subject, the evening before, consid-
cred that Butte had not even ghost OF a
show to secure the capital. The feeling
against this city, at least 80 far as the
matter of locating the capital here was con-
cerned, he said, was indescribably strong,
and the arguments advanced by those op'
posed to it were, he said, the strangest as
we'll as most unreasonable that he had ever
heard advanced against any town. Espe-
cially bitter, he said, we're the delegates
from the East side, and to hear some OF
them speak one not posted to the hecontrary
would imagine that Butte was q yeritable
sink hole OF creation, king with filth,
disease, pestilence and death; and for this

from the cow counties that the quantity
and quality of the water supply OF this
city were far superior to those OF Helena,
and that as far as the healthfulness OF
Rutte was concerned no city in the world
could excel it. But to all these statements,
he said, the one invariable reply was:
"Why, one OF your own papers hardly does
| any thing else but to curse your water sup
ply and it says that the water you drink
is the seepage OF graveyards and contami-
mated by the corruption OF slaughter houses
and pig pens. Then, too, the ar you

"That kind OF argument we have 10
answer daily and almost hourly" said Mr.
Sta pleton, "aEd the more we attempt Co

the Helena delegates know better, and
while they may not help to spread sucf
foolish stuff, still they not try to dispe
the belief in it's existence that those who &c
not know any better may entertain"
When asked which one OF the towns se

BEING PUT TO A TEST.

1t is Probably Nothing More Than Mere
StimuIant or Tonic, Like Beef Tea
What Some of the Physicians Say Who
Have Tried It-Further and More
Careful Experiments.
BALTIMORE, August 10.-A special from
Washington gives an interview with DR..
Hammond relative to Browne Sequard's
elixir of Life" He declared that the
sensational publications about this new
preparation were not authorized or justi-
fed in any way. The doctor said that the
new remedy was believed to be in the
nature OF tonic, which. it was thought,
would be beneficial, especially to old peo.
pie.
+ He denounced the foolish story that it
was something that was to prolong life
indefinitely or restore old people to
youth. Neither he nor Browne -Sequard
had ever called it the Elixir Of Lille.
CINCINNATI, August 1O.-Dr. Harper OF the
city infirmary has tried Brown-SequarG's
elixir on five inmates OF the infirmary.
They were all infirm men over 70 years OF
age, except one who was about 40, but was
a rheumatic cripple. The doctor reports
that on only one did he observe any result
whatever, and he said he felt like he had
taken an alcoholic stimulant. The doctor
concludes that the results found elsewhere
are the result OF mental excitement.
EXPERIMENTING AT CLEVELAND.
CLEVELAND, August 12.-The question
