place by sashes and fastened by scara-

draperies is six yards in length and is
wound around the actress in most fasci-

too much, but suggests whole worlds OF
beauty.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-The story of the
last visit paid by a white man &c Sit
ting Bulls camp prior to the tragic
events Of yesterday, is told in a report
received this afternoon by Assistant
Adjutant-General Corbin. The nara
tive throws a flood OF light on the old
chiefs willy character, and strongly de-
picts the circumstances existing in the
isolated camp. The document is ad-
dressed to Commissioner OF Indian At
fairs Morgan by United States Indian
Agent Mclaughlin, of Standing Rock
agency, and is, in part, as follows:
Hearing that the ghost dance was in
progress in Sitting Bulls camp, and
that a large number of the Indians of
the Grand river settlements we're par
~ticipating, Mclaughlin concluded to
take them by surprise. Sunday morn
ing he left for that settlement, accom-
panied by Louis Prineau and came upon
them unexpectedly and found the ghost
dance at It's height. majority OF the
boys and girls participating were, until
a few weeks age, pupils of the day
schools OF the Grand river settlements.
Mclaughlin did not attempt to stop the
dance, but remained over night and the
next day bad a long talk with Sitting
Bull and a number of his followers.
He spoke very plainly TO them, pointing
out what had been done by the govern
ment for the Sioux people. and how
this faction, by their present conduct,
were abusing the confidence that had
been reposed in them by tho govern
ment in its ~magnanimity in granting
them full amnesty for all past ~offenses,
whom from restitution and imminent
starvation they were compelled to sur
render as prisoners of war in 1850. He
dweft at length upon what had been
done by the government for their own
industrial advancement, and assured
them of what this absurd craze would
lead to If these demoralizing dances and
disregard OF department orders were not
soon discontinued. Sitting Bull, while
being very obstinate and at first in
clined to assume the role OF 'big chief"
finally admitted the truths OF McLaugh-
Inns reasoning. He had a PROPOSE
ton to make, which, IL the Indian
agent would have agreed TO
and would carry out, 1t
would allay further excitement among
VIC 'p'OuA pNSI tuiS EuOob uhuNts plt-
ting Bull then stated his proposition,
which was that Mclaughlin should &C
company him on a journey 70 trace
from this agency TO each Of the other
tribes OF Indians through which thestory
of the Indian Messiah had been brought
and when he reached the last tribe, or
where ii originated, il they could not
produce the man who started the story,
and did not find the new Messiah as de-
scribed, upon earth. together with dead
Indians returning to re-inhabit this
country, he would return convicted that
they, the Indians, had been imposed
upon, which report from him would sat
isfy the Sioux, and all practices of the
ghost societies would cease.

CONCLUSIONS.

The election has been held and the
candidate of the fusion or National
Reform party has been returned by
a large majority The returns SO
far as seen show a slightly heavier
vote for the fusion party. In Feb
ruarv their heaviest vote was 965 ;
il is now 81. On the other hand
the Reform party then polled 81
votes to 535 now which shows a
large amount of Indifference on the
part of the Reformers, for the total
number of voters has increased ;
vet the vote polled was only 1,506
as against over 1920 in February.
1t shows that the fusionists are
well organized and under the con-
troll of thorough politicians, while
the organization of the Reformers
was loose and languid. The sue
cessful party polled its full
strength. 1t also shows that the
Refdmers did not feel the occasion
to be of great importance. There
. Is a very general feeling that the
majority of the National Reformers
in the Legislature are safe men,
and this feeling is probably correct.
TheS are not men who will readily
consent to rash or retrogressive
legislation, unless in matters of
apparently small Importance they
Weld points to pacify their allies.
1t is in Just those points that the
danger lies, and it was on just such
matters that an opposition to Mr..
Berger was founded. The result
shows also that the position on
Oahu is very similar to that of
large communities in the United
States. The battle is fought not SO
much on principle as on prejudice.
The Elele, we regret to have to be-
lieve, voiced the sentiments of a
considerable number of our me-
chanics. 1t conducted the cam
paign against Mr.. Young on per-
sonal grounds. He was a CAPT
talist and therefore the enemy of
workingmen. That was the main
force and gist of the cry. Joined
with that was the preposterous
and silly cry of missionary ="
But the latter is only part of the
former and includes every person
wh9 5 in favor of honest, conserva-
tive government conducted for the
equ4I good of all without spoils.
OF course the bitter cutlery con-
Quoted by the Elele and Mr.. Bush's
paper against the haole produced
It's effect and undoubtedly carried
nearly all of the Hawaiian vote.
The mechanic however held the
balance of power and used it
against himself as he will find in
tie future. The Reform party is
not dead. 1t lives and will con-
tinue to live and fulfill its mission
Of contending for and winning true
popular government for Hawaii,
which will long maintain our indie
pendence and autonomy.

The Last Rites.

The funeral of the late Mrs. Henry
N, Castle took place at the family
mansion in King street, at 4 o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon. The large
parlors and adjoining rooms were
crowded with ladies, as were also the
verandas with gentlemen, among
whom were quite a number of Ger
man residents. The coffin was COW
cred with most beautiful and rich
bouquets of the choicest flowers, in
Guiding magnolias and white lilies.
Rev. DIR. Beckwith officiated in the
services, which included singing by
a choir. At the close of the exer-
cises, the coffin was borne to the
hearse and conveyed to the Kawaia-
hao cemetery near by, followed by
the mourners and a procession on
foot of nearly all who were present
at the dwelling.
At the grave prayer was offered
by DR.. Beckwith, and the coffin was
lowered into its last resting-place,
literally hidden with flowers and
ferns. 1t was one of the most touch
ing scenes witnessed here for many
a year-a young and charming
daughter of German fatherland,
snatched so suddenly from her home
and ch1ld,-s soon after her arrival
here-the aged father and mother
bending in sorrow with their be-
reaved son over the open grave, and
surrounded with friends who had
come to pay their last tributes of
love and affection-it was a scene
that touched every heart aud drew
tears from every eye.
1t may not be amiss to state that
the deceased was a descendant of
the family of the celebrated Rubens,
and had she lived would undoubt-
edly have been an ornament to
Honolulu society.

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT.
Carriage at Waikiki, and Receives
Severe Injuries.

Mrs. Henry Castle Thrown from Her
Carriage at Waikiki, and Receives
Severe Injuries.
Another has been added to the
terrible list of fatal accidents of re-
cent occurrence. On Monday after
noon about half-past 1 O'Clock Mrs.
Henry n Castle, wife of the editor
OF this paper, was about to start for
town from Waikiki. She had step
ped into the carriage, when the
horse took a sudden fright and ran
away around the yard throwing her
violently to the ground, from which
she received injuries so severe that
her death resulted in about an hour.
Mr. Castle who was at the Legisla
ture was telephoned for and arrived
in time to see his wife alive but
quite unconscious.
The deceased lady who had en-
deared herself to a large circle of
friends leaves her husband, a baby
girl only few weeks old, and in
Germany, her home, a mother, three
sisters and a brother to mourn her
loss. 1t is less than year since she
was led to the altar a bride, and she
returned here with her husband the
latter part of last year. She was in
fine health. and life was full of hope
and Joy. The future was alluring
and delightful and held out a smil-
ing promise. The news was great
shock to the entire community and
sympathy was freely expressed for
the stricken young husband and
friends.
