Per s. S. Australia, San Francisco,
October II, 1889.
News has been received by the S.
S. Alameda of intense suffering
from starvation by the people of
Labrador, an extensive territory
northeast of Canada and politically
joined to the Colony of Newfound-
land. The population is chiefly
composed of fishermen and their
families, and the trade of the coun-
try consists mostly of salmon and
other fisheries and furs. The i'm
mediate cause of the famine is the
failure of the fisheries, and the re-
suit may, to some extent, be gathered
from the following telegram:
QUEBEC, Oct. 19.-Captain Lemay
arrived on the steamer Otter as the
representative of the Missionary
Bishop of Labrador to secure aid
for the starving fishermen and their
families. Lemay tells story of in
credible suffering. One family in
Natashquan lived on the carcass Of
dog for three days, when the
youngest child, then the mother,
then the oldest daughter succumbed
to their intense sufferings, leaving
the starving husband and eldest son
without the strength and means to
secure a decent burial for tie dead
until succored by neighboTs. From
Hopedale it is reported that a father
and mother subsisted on the body of
their six months old infant for days,
only then to follow the child by
death from starvation.

A dispatch from Ventura dated the
14th October says: The oil schooner
Caesar Burns drifted ashore this
morning, loaded with 10000 gallons
of oil. The anchor would not hold.
The vessel struck sandy bottom 500
yards west of the wharf, and the
waves soon broke over her. She be-
came total wreck. The vessel was
owned by E. S. Babcock, Jr., of San
Diego.
Admiral Jouett's Board, that in
spected the United States steamship
Dolphin at New York on her return
from her trip round the world, after
travelling $4,000 knots, has reported.
The report says the vessel is in
most excellent condition, can be re-
paired in a few days time at cost
of about $1,000, and is one of the
finest vessels in the navy Admiral
Jouett especially speaks highly of
the vessels work and compliments

THE ACQUITTAL AND ITS IMPORT

The acquittal of r. W. Wilcox
yesterday by Hawaiian jury, did
not take the public by surprise, be-
cause every previous indication led
to almost the certainty of that result
but apart from the immediate cir
cumstances of this miscarriage of
justice, the danger of race-iuries is
now without the slightest doubt.
BY maintaining the present jury
system, judicial functions are defed.
so far as native criminals are con.
cerned. The certainty of criminals
escaping the penalties which the law
imposes upon crimes of large magni-
tude, is temptation to commit them
and, at present, such is practically
the case. The Courts are poWerless
In Hawaiian criminal cases, so long
as Hawaiian juries have the power
to acquit criminals even of their
own race.
70 thinking persons the import
ance and danger of this position is
not altogether new; but the trial of
Wilcox has brought the danger so
prominently before everyone that
something must be done, as quickly
as circumstances will admit, to
remedy this dangerous factor in Ha-
waiian jurisprudence. The obnox-
lous system of race-juries has no
precedent anywhere in the world
1t was an error to ever have intro
duced it into these Islands, and its
obstruction and dangerous action has
now passed that point when it can be
any longer tolerated. AS Hawaiian
Jurisprudence now stands, with this
dangerous jury system, native MUIR
derers and criminals of the worst
kind may put their fingers to their
noses and say, with too much truth.
-"you cannot punish US, we will
commit such crimes as we choose.
and the bigger they are the better
chances have we to get acquitted
That is precisely the position.
This is not question of friendly
or unfriendly feeling to Hawaiians,
it is a matter of self preservation to
law abiding residents of this king
dom. Neither life nor property in
these islands can be secure until
the Ubiquitous racejury system is alb
olished.

A Word About the Bolt Die Stock.

No turning back over the threads after
it is once cut, is a prominent feature OF the
Duplex"
All mechanics agreeing that the turning
back against the cutting edge Injuries the
dies much more than the actual cutting.
When the " Duplex" dies become dull
by CUTTING, they can readily be renewed by
sharpening on a grindStone. Thus max
ing the life of these dies longer, at least by
four fold than any other made, and at the
same time avoiding the common occur
renee OF stripping or weakening the thread
and rendering the work worthless.
This tool, when set to any desired size,
can instantly be released and lifted off and
reset to same size without trial, thus in
surfing I'll the threads uniformly alike. 1t
adjusts to all the variations in iron-rough,
diversified iron is shaved to standard size
and threaded at the same time. This can
not be accomplished with any other Die
Stock. The Duplex being the only tool
| made allowing one set of dies to accurately
cut two distinct siZes-in the adjustment
no wrench, screw driver or any extra tool
being used-and when adjusted is as rigid
as solid die, and will do at least one-third
more work in the same space of time. We
solicit comparison with other makes,
both as to range of sizes each tool cuts,
and prices, as well as price of extra dies.

Mrs. Garfield's Fortune.

Cleveland plaindealer: The sub
scription raised for Mrs. Garfield
through the instrumentality OF Cyrus
W. Field aggregated, when invested in
government bonds, about S3l2,OOO.
Gen. Gariield's life was insured for
$4,000, the payment OF which the
companies, for the sake of the extend
ed advertisement it would give them,
ii fOr no other purpose, promptly
made. Congress also voted her the
remainder OF the salary which would
have been due Gen. Garfield for the
first year OF service as president, which
amounted TO $4,000. The little es-
tate which Garfield left aggregat ed
some $40, 900. This was all that he
had been able to accumulate after a
life OF unusual activity. This makes
her total estate, in round numbers,
about S4oO,0OO in money we'll in-
vested. From this an income OF prob
ably S16,OOO is derived. I'm addition
to that she has from congress an an
nual pension of 5000. which is now
voted TO the widows of all ex-presi-
dents. This fortune has not decreased
since James 4. Garfield's death.

WORK FOR MANY HANDS.
Eight Thousand Men Employed In Clearing
Away the Debris at Johnstown.

. JomSsTowN, June T. Eight thous-
and men nave been at work to-day
clearing out the debris, but truth COM
pels the statement that the under
taking has not yet been fairly started.
Fires are burning up and down the
valley as lar as the eye can reach, the
air is thick with smoke, and yet people
familiar with the situation are not
aware of the efforts of this army oi
earnest workers. Estimates are to
the effect that IT will take $50, 900
men four weeks To clear out the heaps
OF ruin piled up for miles between the
hills up and down the course OF tho
river. An hour ago the writer com
pleted n tour of the mighty wreck in
this vicinity. Dozens oi human beings
and animals were to be seen on the
surface charred and blackened by the
fire and in such a state OF decomposi-
ton that the strongest man could not
more than glance at them.
Eighty-siX men from Altoona under
orders from the sanitary officials are
scattering di~iniectants over acres oi
| the wreckage that the railroad bridge
stopped. Mr.. Kirk declares that
thousands OF bodies will be found in
this territ DRY alone. The great trouble
thus far experienced at the bridge has
been caused by the mass of telegraph
wires that reach across the various
spans through which the water has
passed. Line repairmen are badly
needed to help in removing the wires
and Kirk says as they are gone he will
hustl le the debris through by the acre.
ITh. problem OF the hour is to dispose
of the debris that is about the Penn
sylvania road bridge, Unless 1T Is soon
gotten rid of the stencil will be so
overpowering that no human being
can withstand it.
\. NJ. Wellington, with f. =. Bur, i.
lassociate editor of the Engineering
News, Of New York, has completed al,
examination OF the dam which caused
the great disaster. Wellingt on states
that the dam was in every respect
inferior IN construction and OF kind
wholly unwarranted by the good ell
gineering practices of thirty years ago.
Both the original and reconstructed
dams were OF earth, with no heart
lwall, but only riprapped on the slopes.
