Union Switchmen Discharged.
CHICAGO, May 16.-Every union switchman
in the employ of the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad, not only here but at every other
point, has been discharged.
The Northwestern officials state that for
more than two years the situation regarding
the switchmen has been growing worse.
They have struck, and for trivial causes at
times, seriously delaying trains and business
generally OF the road. They have time and
again demanded the discharge of men whose
only fault was that they were non-union.

Committee Conclusions.

New ORLEANS, La, May 16.-The citizens
committee appointed October, 1880. to lnves-
tigate the Malta, has made a big report,
which concludes with suggestions of RENE
dies, as follows:
First-Regulation of immigration.
Second-Reform in the criminal laws and
administration of criminal justice.
Third-A law recognizing the existence of
q bar association and endowing it with full
power to try and disbar any attorney whose
evil practices make him unworthy of being
an officer of the court. The only radical
remedy which suggests itself is the entire
prohibition of immigration from Sicily and
lower Italy.

Nxw Yozx. May 1&-R. g. Dun q Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
In every respect the outlook is more favor
able, excepting the large exports of gold and
tho advance of Bank of England rates to s
per cent, obviously for the purpose Of drain
ing more gold from this country. 1t is
most favorable symptom that the continued
export of gold caused no panic in this mar
ket, and it is significant fact that the ex-
ports in April we're about double last years
in value, as to cotton, and showed an increase
in oil and provisions, but q decrease in cattle
and breadstuffs. Yet, in breadstuffs, the de-
crease was wholly in corn, and the surplus
of wheat available for export was. May l.
about $4,000, 900 bushels. Exports of wheat
from Atlantic ports have been much smaller
than year ago. until last week, when an IN
crease of 10 per cent. appears.
In corn the decrease Is heavy, OF course.
The speculative markets have acted pecu-
liarly during the past week. wheat advanc-
Jag cents per bushel on reports not sub
west, while corn has declined 3 cents and
oats ~ cents on moderate sales.
Pork, lard and hogs are also lower and
heavy decline appears in butter.
Cotton, coffee and oil are unchanged, and
this 10 the moro remarkable as to cotton, be-
cause much the larger crop ever produced il
going to market moro rapidly than ever be
fore at this season.
The final prospect just now turns largely
upon the export of gold.
Merchandise exports are for the time COM
paratively small, So, 74O. coo in two weeks
from New York, against Sis, 639. 600 last year,
while imports continne remarkably large.
The business failures occurring throughous
the country during the last week number
237, as compared with 242 last week, and IL
for the corresponding week last year.

The United States steamer Albat-
ross, Captain Tanner, will sail this
afternoon to survey the line for a
cable to the Hawaiian Islands. The
steamer will first 90 to Monterey, the
basis of operations for this end, and
spend two weeks on a portion of a
cable line, as well as making a survey
of the submerged mountains 600
miles west of here, reported in the
cable survey made by the United
States steamer Tuscarora some years
ago. A rock rising several feet out
of the sea between here and the ISL
ands has lately been reported. "We
will have to look for this mythical
rock" said Lieutenant Colkins yes
terday, "but hardly think we will
find it, for the Tuscarora's survey
gave a depth of two and one half
miles of water in the same locality"
On her return here in two weeks the
Albatross will coal again and sail for

horse cars" the Captain said, "they
were cheaper to operate they offered
a more profitable investment to the
capitalists; they could be operated
in all weathers, in frost and snow

tenn had been pretty generally aban-
doned, and the overhead wire en-

The horse car was becoming thing
of the past.
Mr.. st. George, city engineer of
Montreal, lately visited the Eastern
States to enquire into the working Of
electro railways. He reported that
the cars went up steep hills without
difficulty; they stopped in the mid
die; they went up or down at full
speed, very much quicker than horse
cars on the level; they pull up in
about five feet. The West End ser
vice of Boston, which is said to be
the largest street car concern in the
world, has 260 miles of track. GO of
which is now an electric track and
80 being made so. They use much
bigger cars on the electric than on
the horse roads, and they make
greater speed. The overhead wires
of the trolly system are hardly
noticed, They are no Disagreement
whatever. Nice little iron posts, six
inches in diameter, are put at the
side of the curb. The foregoing in
formation is very interesting to the
Honolulu public, in view of the fact
that an Act was passed by the Legs-
lature of 1890, authorizing the Ha-
waiian Tramways Co., without limit
of time or any hard conditions, to
use and maintain electric power for
operating their cars. BY the adop-
ton of electric motors the service
could undoubtedly be vastly increas-
ed in efficiency and profitableness,
and lines be made feasible across
the city on the steep grades that are
impracticable of surmounting by
horse car lines.

PENINSULA
OF PEARL CITY!

This truly enchanting location for
suburban homes must be seen to be
appreciated; lovely grove of alge-
roba trees covers the entire grounds,
streets 80 feet in width are laid out,
and 6-inch pipes are being laid to
conduct water from 10-inch arte-
sian well which is pronounced by
McCandess Bros. to flow the sweet
est water of all the wells they have
bored on this island. The Railway
Co. have constructed two reservoirs
with a storage capacity of over two
million gallons, and built t1ume eX-
tending 81 miles into Waiawa Val
ley, which in years of ordinary rain
fall will supply an abundance of
pure water for large population
to guard against such droughts as
we have experienced during the pre-
sent year, the Company have ordered
a Blake Pump with capacity of
$50, 900 gallons per day, which will
be replaced by one or more of larger
capacity when needed. This pump
now due from the manufacturers will
be placed at once at the artesian well
from which water will be forced into
the reservoirs, when not supplied
from the mountains.
A block containing an area of five
acres has been reserved for Hotel,
and another beautiful lot of the same
area is also reserved for Public
Park, which the Company propose
to make one of the most delightful
and attractive resorts to be found
anywhere.
This place has all the charms of
Waikiki, with the addition of an in
land sea seven miles long and four
miles wide, affording boating and
yachting facilities second to none in
the world.
Pearl City is situated about half
way between the extreme eastern
and western points of Pearl Harbor.
The makai end of Pearl City PENN
sula points to the entrance of the
harbor, and is destined some day
(not so remote as some peO-
pie may think) to be the great
commercial emporium of the Pacific.
The Pearl City Branch of the Com
pany's line extends down the centre
of the Peninsula within say 1000
feet of the shore on either side.
Bag~ Intending purchasers are in
vited by the o. r. & l.. Co. to call
at my office for free tickets and
maps of Pearl City.
The Company will bind themselves
in the deed to carry purchasers,
their families and servants for a
term of nine years from date of pur-
chase at u cents per mile first class,
and / cent per mile second-class.
Those who build residences on their
lots within II months from date of
purchase, will thereby secure re-
ducton from the above rate for the
whole time of say 20 percent, max
ing the fare each way 10 cents first
class, and 10 cents secOnd-class.
This rare spot of earth Is quite
limited in area, and those who would
secure a lot valuable now but des-
tined in the near future to be worth
many times its present value, will be
wise to improve their opportunity.
Df3g~ The valuable water privileges
attaching to the land have been pur-
chased at an extra cost of several
thousand dollars. Purchasers of lots
will therefore have the free privilege
of the fisheries.

TO ENGLAND'S SHAME.
The Great Card Scandal Case on Trial---
A Bright Juror Puts the Gambler
Prince in Bad Light.
Consolidation Carries in Portland, East
Portland and Albina---Interesting
Rumors of Lincoln and Noble.

LONDON, June 2.-The second day of
the Baccarat trial began this morning
with repetition of the scenes of yester-
day.
The Prince of Wales was called to the
witness box. In substance, the prince
said: 81 have known the plaintiff for
twenty years and have been his friend
for the past ten years. He visited my
house several times. Our intimacy con-
tinued unim paired until last September.
l observed nothing suspicious in the
play OF the plaintiffs house in Tandy
Croft
During the cross examination of the
prince, a juryman caused a sensation
by rising in his place and asking in a
loud voice care the jury to understand
you were banking on these two occa-
sions, and knew nothing of the alleged
malpractices
The prince hesitated for moment
as if undecided as to whether he ought
or ought not reply. Finally he said with
half smile, ct is very easy for a
banker when dealing cards not to see
anything, especially when in company
with friends in a country house. You
do not for moment suppose that any
one will play unfairly" i4t
The juror asked, "What was your
opinion at the time the charges were
made against the plaintiff?''
To this the prince savagely replied
.'The charges made against him were SO
unanimous that had not any other
course left open to me then to believe
them"
The princes last answer caused
another f1utter of excitement followed
by much whispered comment.
When the murmurs of astonishment
which greeted the jurors questions and
the princes answers had subsidized, Sir
Edward Clark, seeing he must do every
thing possible to regain the ground which
seemed to have been lost by the plaintiff
in the estimation of the jury, said, ad-
dressing the prince of Wales: 81 take it
your highness' answer to the first ques-
! ton put to you by the juror was substan-
TALLY that you had not seen any NAL
practice during the game of Baccarat
played at Tanby Croft last September -
The prince assented to this and his
examination was concluded.
He gave his evidence in haliing, hes
itating manner, and he seemed to be very
glad and exceedingly relieved when his
examination was over.
