authorized by the Hawaiian government
70 tender the islands to Secretary Blaine

The sugar planters, ns well as Kalakaua,
are in the hole Under the reciprocity
treaty they really got bonus Of two cents
pound on all the sugar. Now, under the
Mckinley bill, which makes sugar free,
they loso this, because the growers OF this
country receive a bounty NJ two cents a
pound. II the the Hawaiian islands come
under the American flag the planters
would receive this bounty, which would
amount to several millions per year. It is
believed that the administration will re-.
ceive kalakaua's overturcs with favor
Mr. Blaine on repeated occasions has ex-
pressed the opinion that sound policy de
mands that the United States should con.
troll the Hawaiian Islands, and he will
back any movement for their acquisition
on favorable terms. II is not known what
demands Kalakaua will make, but the be-
lief Is that they will not be excessive.

TWO BIG STEAMERS COLLIDE.

La Champagne In an Accident That
Might Have Proved Disaster.
NEW YORK, Dec. 8-The French steam.
ship La Champagne, from this port for
Havre, and the British steamer Lisboneuse.
from Para 70 this port, collided two miles
east Of Sandy Hook at $50 a. m. No lives
were lost and as far as known no person
was injured Good seamanship and prompt
action combined with what Is generally
termed good luck" prevented what
would in all probability have been a ter
rible disaster AS it is, both vessels lie at
their docks, one with a big hole in her
bow, the other with bigger hole III her
port quarter. Three thousand dollars will
repair the damages To both vessels.
The Lisboneuse did not stop after the
collision but proceeded directly up to
the city. La Champagne signaIed the
steamship Etruria, which was close by and
outward bound, and asked her captain to
take the mails. This the captain con
sented to do and the mails were soon
transferred to the Etruria
La Champagne then turned about aud
came back to her dock. There was little
If any excitement among the passengers,
in fact many Of them knew nothing OF the
accident. The weather was clear and both
captains say they saw each others vessel
when quite distance apart They both
claim 70 have signaled, and it is evident
that the collision was the result of mis-
understanding, as both captains claim
they had the right of way.

Burglary HEADQUARTERS I,ocatad.

FTSDLAY, O., Dec. 8-Burglars lately
entered the residence Of DIR. j. a. Kimmcl,
who with his family is spending the winter
Ia Europe, and carried Off everything OF
value. Last night James Secor, a man
who has been conducting a saloon and
gambling room, was arrested, and when
his house was searched four large trunks
containing nearly all the articles taken
from the kimmel residence were found. A
further search Of the residence brought to
light many articles that had been taken
not only from residences in this city but
from neighboring towns as well. The po-
lice believe they have discovered the leader

AFTER ALLIANCE vUIkS.
Alleged Agents of the Democ-
.~...4 racy at Ocala.
BUT ONE PLATFORM FOR BOTH

The Farmers and tho Democrats Said to
he Nearly Agreed Concerning the sub
Treasury nill-One View OF the Mean
ing Of tho Third Party Movement.
OcALA, Fla, Dec. st Is alleged here
that the national leaders of the Democratic
parts have many lobbyists here in their
interests and that the policy of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance ia many respects
will be influenced by them, notably in the
case Of the sub-treasury bill. That meas.
ure Is now under consideration Of the ALI.
ance. Il is predicted that when it finally
comes from the committee il will have
been modified and changed in many i'm
portant particulars with view 70 making
it accord with the Democratic doctrine to
such an extent that It can easily be under
stood by the National Democratic conven
tion Of 1892, or perhaps be passed by con
gress prior to that event
The Third Party Scheme.
The alliance ocala platform could, it Is
alleged, secure absolute adoption by the
National Democratic convention and this
with the Endorsement Of the sub-truasury
bill. would place the Democratic party
squarely upon the Farmers Alliance plat
form.
The third party movement, it is whis-
pered in some quarters, Is slow trick Of
the national Democracy to destroy the Re
publican vote In the west aud northwest.
and also the negro Republican vote in the
south, thus enabling the Democrats TO se-
cure success In nearly all the doubtful
states in 1892 To-day's debate on the re-
port of the committee on the sub treasury
bill will either strengthen or weaken these
allegations Astrong effort will be made to
allow press representatives TO be present
during the debate on the committees re,
port, rs its result will be by far the most
important action of the alliance on any
public measure which has a bearing ON
national politics.

The Outlook of the Lodge Elections Bll
Said to BE Brighter.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S-The Republican
caucus committed has not determined on
an order OF business as yet, SO nothing
definite can be known of the prospects 81
business in that body, except that the de
bate on the federal elections bill will bl
pushed forward during the week. Th,
elections bill is the unfinished business o.
the senate, and as such it comes up eacl
day at 2 o'clock. If the Democratic sena
tors continue to speak at length in opposi
tion to the bill during this week the Re.
publican senators will doubtless insist that
il be taken up Immediately after the morn
ing business to the exclusion OF calendar
business, in order that it may be brought
to vote at as early a day as possible Sen.
ator Blair may make another effort during
the week to get the labor bills before the
senate, but this is extremely doubtful So
much opposition has developed that he does
not care to make the issue on the question
Of consideration.
Should the caucus committee deem ii
necessary to bring in the proposition 10
change the rules so as to establish the
previous question the debate on the cleo
tions bill may be diverted into discussion
Of this question, but it is altogether un-
likely that the committee will act at this
time. A great many Of the Republican
senators believe that rather than see the
rules changed and so much power put in
the hands Of the majority, the Democrats
will virtually consent to the passage Of the
elections bill
There are thirty-three public building
bills on the calendar Of the house awaiting
final action, and the committee on rules
will give the public building committee a
day and possibly two days this week for
the disposition OF their measures It is
probable that there VIII 10 no more public
building legislation this session.

That Fact Clearly Established bya Phil
adelphia Expert.
CHESTER, Pa, Dec. 8-Important devel.
/ opments in the case OF Emma pftzen.
meyer, who was found in her sisters house
with her throat cut, have come to light.
The body Of the unfortuuate girl was not
buried Saturday as supposed but instead
was merely lowered into the grave IN the
/ presence Of the assembled mourners After
they had left the coffin WINS lifted out OF
| the open grave and taken to the chapel,
where DR. Formal, the well known phila.
delphia expert, made second post-mor-
TEN examination. He discovered a wound
on the head which had been overlooked,
and demonstrated to those assembled that
any one Of the four wounds in the girls
throat would have caused her death, thus
clearly establishing the fact that she was
murdered. The body was then consigned
to the grave.
Several persons have made afIidavits
that they heard struggles and cries within
the Schmidt household on the fatal night
Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidt have all along
maintained that they heard no sounds
Constables are guarding the Schmidts al
their house, which virtually places them
under arrest.
The theory OF those working on the case
is that Emma was murdered by Mrs
Schmidt after a Jealous quarrel It is
thought that after returning from the ball,
Emma and Schmidt entered the room and
that while they were there the wife caught
them in a compromising position. En-
ragged with jealous fury, she is supposed to
have plunged the knife into the guilty
girls neck. The knife was then placed
near the girl to make il appear that she
committed suicide. 1t is expected that the
Schmidts will be taken into custody today.
The inquest will be held in day or two

cumstances Of the present movement. We
have cabled our approval of the choice Of
Mr.. Justin Mccarthy as chairman of the
Irish party, and an earnest hope that all
our colleagues and our people may see the
way clear to acquiesce in that choice and
SO restore the priceless blessing Of unity Of
our party. Whatever additional communi-
cation we may find ourselves at liberty to
make to the public will be made collect
lively. So long as we can see any possi-
bility of saving the country from a ruin
GUS conflict we prefer that our views
should suffer by our holding our tongues
rather than that the possibility Of unity
should be prejudiced by one injudicious

Justin Mccarthy Leads the Half
Hundred Seceders.
A SERIOUS SPLIT IN TIE PARTY.


People on the Anxious seat-They Are
Said to Resent the Action of the Clergy
Against ParneI.
LONDON, Dec. s-The Parnellites and
their opponents Vested on their arms Sun
day after the exciting events of Saturday
The secession Of forty-fve members Of the
Irish parliamentary party from the con
vention, upon Mr.. Parnelps refusal to put
motion ordering him to leave the chair,
Is still the talk OF the town. The Parnell-
ties, it is understood, are anxious TO force
an appeal TO the country as soon as possible,
and claim that their antagonists are afraid
to submit the issue Of their conduct to the
people It is stated on the alleged author
ity Of Timothy Healy that the party headed
by Justin Mccarthy will continue to keep
their seats without any designations, up
holding the cause of home rule and wait
ing for time to bring about a sober and
deliberate Judgment in the now excited
Irish constituencies.
'Deader Than Isaac Butt"
Mr.. Barry said that Mr.. Parnell's cause
would lose instead OF gaining with the
progress of time, and that the next gem
eral election would see him deader than
Isaac Butt. Parnell, on the other hand,
is said TO feel entirely confident and to be
already selecting successors for those who
have deserted him. He is in ample funds,
as since the division in the party several
American organizations have forwarded
money directly to him instead Of to the
treasurers formerly appointed. A large
proportion of the Irish members have been
in receipt of stipends for their services in
parliament and it is difficult to see how
those disconnected from parnell are to
receive their salaries hereafter, as the com
mon fund is locked up by the imbroglio.
The IcCarthyites VIII Noed Money.
One of the first tasks of the Mccarthy
ties will necessarily be to devise some
scheme of raising a fund independent of
that heretofore relied upon for parliament
