KING kALAKAUA,
He Ii Said to Be Anxious to Confer with
American Politicians.

He L. Said to Be Anxious to Confer With
American Politicians.
New YORK, Dec. ga letter dated
Dec. 12 has been received by a gentle
man In this city from friend in Homo
lulu In which the following interesting
information is given concerning King
Kalakaua and his probable movements
while in the United States:
1t is still the intention to have the king
visit Washington. The denial OF the min
listers Of foreign affairs to the effect that the
king would not visit the American capital
was made TO allay the fears OF the natives.
The scheme as II stands at present Is: The
king will go to the state OF Washington to
benefit by its climate and enjoy its scenic
wonders. He will become interested In the
Canadian Pacific railroad and will
be induced to travel over It. At
the other end OF the line he will be met by
old friends from Washington. who will pre-
vail upon him to take a run down to that
city and renew old acquaintances. Then
the American and Hawaiian politicians will
get their work In.
This is the local program up to date, but,
OF course. it is subject to entire alteration
by the Hawaiian cabinet or the kings
whim. A great deal will also depend upon
whether some one or some government will
offer to pay his expenses.
The majority OF leading Hawaiians enter
tain thought born Of the wish that he may
not return alive, as his health is poor and
your winters are severe. The king Is un-
popular. for Notwithstanding his many So
cial qualities he Is a political rogue aud Is
the direct cause OF all the misfortune Of
poor little Hawaii since he became king, so
IL he dies while in the United States do not
gush out any elaborate sympathy for US,
for you may know that In the breast OF the
majority OF the Hawaiians the GLORIA In
excelsis' OF his requiem will be felt with
double meaning. Under new regime
there will be hope for Hawaii and Ha-

tain the Tried Policy Of the Indspsnd-
ent Party-A Conference to He Held
Between OBrien and Parnsll.
DUBLIN, Dec. 29.-Athlogne, Roscom-
mon and Westmeath are excited over .
proclamation placarded In all public
places. 1t states that all true Irishmen
have resolved to support their independ-
ence; that the Kilkenny reserve is 1.-The
trumpet call for you TO close your ranks
and make a last supreme fight for the
cause" The proclamation, continuing,
asks the people to sustain the tried pol
Icy Of the independent party In parlia-
ment, adding that the people of Ireland
and America are behind 1t. It should
sustain the leader who made that policy,
and led you tO4vietorx. TIL now the issue
between the Independent party was as
to whether the Irish people should choose
their own leader and party, or as to
whether they should become merely .
part of the English liberals and accept
leader dictated by English liberals.
The FFeem0,lss Journal announces
that conference between Parnell and
VIM. O'Brien will take place tomorrow
at Boulogne. 1t adds that Messrs. John
Redmond, Kenny and Clancy and per-
haps Campbell, members Of parliament,
will be present at the meeting. The
mayor-elect and five previous mayors
have written t. O'Brien that 1t is the
opinion Of the people OF Cork that Eng
lish statesmen, in conjunction with
Gladstone, have attacked Parnells posi-
tion. The gentlemen referred to said
that, much as they appreciate Glad
stones services and deeply feel the obli-
cations Of dire liberals, they deny their
right to dictate to all Irishmen as to who
should not be their leaders.

GOVERNMENT DEFRAuDED.

A Petty Scheme OF Swlndiinx Which Has
Been Carried on for some Time I'm
earthed.
New YORK, Dec. e7.-A Washington
special says: 'Frauds by which the
government has been robbed OF over ST.
100000 within the past twelve months
have just been brought to the knowledge
Of the treasury officials, and searching
inquiry is in progress. The frauds were
committed by consuls and consular
agents Of the United States In Canada,
and by exporters Of Canadian goods to
the United States. Some twenty con-
sular agents or larger number sta
toned in the province OF Ontario are i'm
plicated In the charges. The process Of
the fraud consisted in the appropriation
Of illegal fees and an differentiation OF
exports by exporters. Consular
certificates In blank, signed by
consuls and the consular agents, we're
issued for q nominal sum for the use Of
exporters IN making false returns of the
value OF goods sent to the United States.
The evidence is not complete as to the
for the privileges of undervaluation, but
enough Is known to show that q system
attic scheme OF petty swindling has been
carried ON. The certificates are distrib-
uted in great numbers and an estimate
Of 81, ,0oO, 900 as the aggregate OF the loss
to the government. This Is nothing
more than an estimate. Further inves.
tigation may show loss OF many times
that sum, and that there are even more
guilty parties than as vet discovered.

CHRISTMAS IN MEXICO,
Nov el Celebration At san Antonio -Th Q
Watch Of tho Shepherds.

Novel Coiebratt0M At San AntOniO-The
Watch Of tho Shepherds.
SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Dec. :-.-The
quaint Mexican festival OF FL Pastors or
the Watch OF the Shepherds was pub
licly celebrated Wednesday night at .
house In South Laredo street, near Du.
range. These festivals, which are Of an
nual occurrence In the Mexican quarter
are full of interest to people who have
never witnessed the ceremonies. In the
center OF large room was placed an
altar decorated with flowers, In which
repOsed figure of the infant Christ. The
watchers, some fifteen in number, were
dressed in ordinary clothing, but each
wore long tri-colored sash thrown over
the shoulder. They were ranged In
circle facing the altar. In the hands OF
each was long shepherds crook, at the
top OF which were fastened punches OF
artificial flowers, streamers of ribbons
and q number of small bells. The head
shepherd led the festival, exLorting the
others to watchfulness and hope
through the newborn Savior. His
exhortations were interspersed with
the singing OF Christmas carols
In the Spanish language sung in
chorus, the shepherds crooks keeping
time by regular taps on the floor. The
quaint songs, the steady beat, and the
jngling Of the small bells produced an
effect as pleasing as 1t was novel. This
festival Is commemorative Of the watch
Of the shepherds on the hills just outside
Of Bethlehem ON the night Of the ma
tivity. High over the house was an illu-
mination representing the star Of Beth
lehem. The same festival was observed
in many Mexican residences, q large
number OF which were tastefully deco.
rated and Illuminated with candles.

Cnc10 Sam Takes Charge OF Miss Davon.
ports Costumes.
New YORK, Dec. 26.-United States
special treasury agents seized Wednesday
night all the gorgeous costumes and
trappings intended to be used by Fanny
Davenport at the Fifth Avenue theater
In Sardou's cleopatra" The charge
was that all this property, valued, 1t IL
said, At SIS, 900. had been smuggled into
the United States without payment OF
duty, which should have amounted to
thousands Of dollars, and that 1t was,
therefore, all contraband to the treasury
department.
1t was two weeks ago last Saturday
when the White Star steamer Brittanic
arrived here, bringing the costumes to
be used in Miss Davenport's duplication
OF Sarah Bernhardt's Cleopatra.
They were In charge OF Benjamin Stern,
an employe OF Marcus Mayer, who is
Miss Davenport's manager. Mr.. Stern,
without turning q hair, swore solemnly
that all the theatrical costumes were his
own personal property and that they
were his stools of trade"
The customs officers therefore per-
mitted the goods to pass free OF duty by
virtue OF their instructions since the
famous decision In the Mapleson case,
under which dramatic artists can import
as many costumes as they please as tools
OF their trade. Chief Special Agent VIII
ber said last night he had found evidence
which justified the belief that Stern had
committed perjury In swearing that the
cstumes belonged to him. ''All the
dresses and properties, "said Mr.. WILDER,

dered them from cOstumer named Alias.
III Miss Davenport had brought over
the costumes herself and had entered
them as her tools of trade they might
have gone through all right, although I
have my own opinion Of the s0undness Of
the Mapleson decision"
When Marcus Mayer learned Of the
seizure OF the costumes he implOred Mr..
Wilber not to stop the play, but to allow
the dresses to remain at the theater
and TO be used. promising to give
bonds or give any security required
for the payment of the duty to-day.
He also begged that Miss Davenport be
kept In ignorance OF the trouble. She
was so nervous over the prospects, OF her
first essay as Cleopatra q 10 Bernhardt,
he said. that she would he completely

pencd. And SO it was arranged that tho
play should 20 on, and the Egyptian
queen went through her part in ignor-

were u the wings watching to see that
her highness didn't "prig" any OF Uncle

examination was secured. Arsenic was
found and the conclusion that two or more
Of the children had been poisoned was
reached by all the physicians at the post

the examination and her indifference to
