the whole town into an uprOar. =

with Station Agent Neal, who was
sitting az his desk. the sudden and
furious onslaught took him from his
feet, ami they commenced kicking
him and dragging him toward the
door. He regaineu his footing,
caught up short piece Of gaspipe
lying III the waitiug-rOom and went
at his assailants.
He had laid two Of them out before
help came in the person Of the
baggage master, Charles BuZZell.

with n revolver IN one hand a heavy
club in the other. Just as he ar
rived three or four more rOughs
came in 10y another door. The two
railroad men went 1T the crowd and
a wicked fight followed. The
superior numbers Of the rOughs told,
however, at once.
Buzzell then opened fire with his
revolver, but aimed high. hoping
that the smell Of guupOwder would
disperse them. At his first shot,
however, three or four revOlvers
We're drawn on the other side, and
Buzzell received probably fatal
wounds.
At the height Of the fight train

Of pistol shots. Several were
wounded, but the roughs were final
ly arrested.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-Ad-
vices from Hawaii 10y steamer Mari
pOSG today state that a member OF
the opposition proposed vote VI
lack OF confidence IN the Ministry
June 18th ia the legislature. This
grew out Of the refusal Of Foreign
Minister Austin To lay before the
House certain documents reglriing
the PROF oSed treaty with the UniteI
States. There was n spirited DEBATE
on the matter, and the vote resulted
in a tie-2l 10 -. The Cabinet
promptly resigned, and the king
has appointed a new one Us follows:
John Adams Cummings, Minister
Of Foreign Affair; Godfrey Brown,
| Finance; Charles Spencer, Interior;
Arthur Peterson, AttOrney-Grn-
eral.
The differences in the old Cabinet
had been n matter OF comment for
some time. During the session OF
the Legislature Uu June yth, Min
lister Ashford answered charges
made aglius; him OF cOnnivance
with the Instruction last April.
He asserted that the Instruction
was only a continuance OF the
scheme Of the MINISTERS to GepUsc
King kalakul anu place on tbe
throne his sister, Princess Lill!uOka-
lani. Notwithstanding frequent
rumors Of imleuiing trouble, there
was
NOT SUFFICIENT ANAiJ milton
available for even ordinary Use, and
II II had not been possible to obtain
10000 pounds from the United
States steamer -iduDls, the iusurrvc-
ton would have been successful.
He claimed that when il was voted
to put through the proposed treaty
with the United States, the king
was not to know all the facts. y
clause relating Ia the landing u for
cigu troops was annexed 10 the dEaf
Of the tresiy. and when the draf
was left with the king. the annexed
clause was 10y oversight lcft with il,
and the king rejected il. Ashford
charged other members Of the cahi-
net with conspiracy, and Minister
Thur>ton entered n general denial Of
the statement. The next day Rep
reseutative Wilcox, leader Of the in-
SurTectiOu, made a statement about
it. He claimed that a society was
organized with the motto, ''Hawaii
for Hawaiiaus, whose object was
by peaceful methods 10 secure to the
natives right 10 represent the gov
eminent in official positions. The
party wanted the king to abdiclte,
as discomfort prevailed among tho
people owing to the opium scandal
and other occurrences. Wilcox con-
tended that prior to this the minis
try had been couspiring against the
king in favor Of a republic.

Alaska Commercial, compapy.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-The
Cisronicie states that the Alaska
Commercial Company, which until
recently had the exclusive right to
capture seals in the American
waters Of Behring Sea, has now
secured a contract with the Russian
government, granting them the ex-
elusive right 10 capture seals on the
Siberian Coast. The number Of
seals to be taken is limited, but is
not known. 1t is believed TO be very
large.
The steamer hdriLE, owned by
the company. has recently sailed for
PetrUfIsky IN capture seals there.
The competition Of the Alaska
Commercial Company will be very
severe for the North American
Commercial Company, which was
recently awarded by the United
States the seal privilege in Behring
Sea, and it is believed the effect
will be to greatly reduce the price Of
skins.
