In to-day's issue is reproduced
the full text of Moreno's interview
by the Philadelphia Times. 1t is
given here so that people may see
with what a mendacious and maIeVO-
lent rascal certain politicians of this
country are holding confidential com
muuication. There is no use in our,
ostrch-like, hiding our heads from
the fact that the great American
public, who do not know the charac-
ter of the man, will believe his mon
strous falsehoods about officials, and
private residents here, to be in a
certain percentage true, and this to
the serious damage of our country's
interests at Washington. We have
been slow to believe it, but have now
good authority for saying that the
rendezvousing of the American squad
ron here is largely on account of
Moreno's intriguing against the es-
tablished order here. Commercial
and social considerations should make
us glad if the whole American
navy packed into our waters. But
it is conducive neither to our per-
manent political prosperity nor to
the dignity of the United States,
that United States ships of war
should be hurried hither at great ex-
pense from distant shores on account
of the lies of political vagrant and
his informants here, charging intri-
CUES against the resident representa-
tives of a power that is equally
friendly with both the United States
and Hawaii.

IA Leo has in its slang and SANDER
singing column to-day the following
slur on Her Majesty: " That our
gracious Queen is suffering with an
idea that she is poor and will die
poor, so say those who have appealed
to her generosity. TGis would be
vile enough attack on the Queen in
any case, who can do with her own
as she will as much as any of her
subjects. But in view of the fact
about to be stated Ka Leo owes an
humble apology to Her Majesty and
to the nation. Hee Majesty has in
vested all the surplus revenue Of the
Crown Lands in Oahu Railway and
Construction Company's bonds and
stocks, to the amount of $40, 600, for
the endowment of the LlliuOkaani

A FAVORlTE REMEDY,

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a
favorite during the winter months on
account of its great success in the
cure of colds. There is nothing that
will loosen a severe cold so quickly,
or as promptly relieve the lungs.
Then it counteracts any tendency to-
ward pneumonia It is pleasant and
safe to take, and fully worthy of its
popularity. For sale by all dealers.

The BULLETIN is careful not to i'm

temporary without good grounds in
both fact and the public interest. A
pity it is we cannot say the same for
all our contemporaries, some of
whom think nothing of cOntradicting
or throwing discredit on intelligence
in this paper, from motives of
wanton perversity, without knowing
anything about the subject in ques-
ton. 1t is only justice to Chief
Engineer Wilson that the Adver-
Users report of his action last
night should be corrected. Mr..
Wilson, had, rightly or otherwise,
after resigning the chair to speak on
question, stayed out Of the chair
for the rest of the meeting. The
presiding officer was then Assistant
Engineer Norton. 1t was not a ques-
tion of the suppression of all discus
sion on which the Chief called
Second Assistant Boyd to order. A
motion to adjourn the debate one
month was pending, and the point
raised was that this motion was the
one before the meeting for decision.
The Chief asked permission of the

4 WHOLE STATE IN FLAMES.
Terrible Stories Of the Destruction by Forest
Fires in Michigan.

DETROIT, MICH, May 12.-The hoped
for security from the recent rain did
not naterialize for the panic-stricken
inhabitants of the burned district IN
this State.
Some idea of the vastness of the fire
district can be gained from the fact
that almost any of the counties now
filled with fire is as large as the whole
State of Rhode Island. The Toledo
and Northern Michigan Railroad has
been obliged to abandon all attempts
to run cars north Of the Glare County
line.
\ freight train and crew had mar
row escape from cremation yesterday.
Ties in many places were so badly
burned that the rails spread when the
train went over. When ear Moore's
siding one of the cars in the centre of
the train was derailed, and the train
crew were obliged to abandon the rear
part of the train after working until
the cars began to smoke. Before they
reached Farewell there was another de-
railment, aud all but three of the train
of eighteen cars were left to their fate.
The wind shifted and drove the fire
20 the southeast and into Newaygo,
Mecosta and Aceaug counties. Cooks
Station and Barton, both in the line OF
the fire, have not been heard from and
are supposed to be destroyed. West
Troy, few miles north of Otia, has
been attacked by the fire since early
yesterday morning and is supposed to
be in ashes.
Reports from Cadillac, Wexford
County, state that the inhabitants OF
all the villages in the county have been
out fighting fire for the past three days
and many of the smaller places are
wiped off the face Of the earth. Where
Nivarna and Fremount, or the Flint
and Marquette road, one stood there is
nothing now but piles Of ashes.
The village of Lake has not been
heard from since its last appea. for help.
The fire is sweeping through the woods
near Red Cloud, Nowyago County,
while more than one hundred miles
away across the State the little hamlet
of Taft is in a gulf of flame. Monitor,
in Wexford County, above Cadillac, is
cut off from communication with the
outside world.
The latest news from Traverse City
is to the effect that the entire popula-
ton is out fighting the fire. Millions
upon millions Of logs are burning all
over the centre Of the Safe.

TRAGEDY IN 4 CHURCH.
Two Men Drew Pistols ard Fired at Each
Other in Church Filled With
People.

NASHVILLE, May IA special from
from Birmingham, Ala, says: IL: F.
Burgess shot and fatally wounded Sam
G. Atwood a. pleasant Valley Church,
two miles South OF Alfalfa, yesterday
afternoon. They were both members
of the church. About two months ago
BURGESS sou attempted to rape At
woods daughter for which offense
young Burgess fled the country: Hard
feelings have existed between the par
ties ever since, and an alteration has
been feared. When the matter was
brought for adjustment in the church
between the brethren, and while the
committee who had the matter in hand
were retired, tie Eelligrents decided to
fight, and began with the above result.
Marion Smith, by interfering, received
a stray shot through the hand. The
shooting occurred in the church which
was filled with people to the utmost
capacity, but fortunately none were
shot except Smith and Atwood. Bur-
CESS, the elder, escaped. Fifteen shots
were discharged.

KEAPPORTIOSMENT.
How the Legislature Would be Affected
If the Porter Census Should be Adopted
as the BASIS of Representation.

TO the Editor of The News and Cou-
rier: Taking the figures published in
YOUR paper of last Friday, we find the
whole population of the State to be l.
l59, ,961. If the legislature shall adopt
the United States census as correct
enumeration of the population and
basis of apportionment of members OF
the house of representatives, the ratio
of representation would be one to every
9,2S2 inhabitants, approximately, Dl-
vide this number into the population Of
the several counties, and it would give
one hundred and six representatives
divided as follows: Abbeville 5, Aiken
3, Anderson i Barnwell 4. Beaufort 8,
Berkeley 5, Charleston 6, Chester :
Chesterfield l, Clarendon ,, Colleton 4,
Darlington 5, E6gefeld 5, Fairfield 8,
Florence 2, Georgetown 2, Greenviile
I, Hampton ,, Horny ?, KershaW ?,
Lancaster 2, Laurens 3, Lexington :,
Marion 8, Marlboro ,, Newberry 2,
Oconee ,, Orangeburg 5, Pickens l,
Richland 3, Spartanburg 5, Sumter 1,
Union 3, Williamsburg ?, York 4, leav-
ing eighteen to be assigned to the coun-
ties bavipg the largest fractions.
The counties having fractions of over
5000 are Williamsburg, Chesterfield
and Berkeley. Those having fractions
over 5000 are Richland, Spartanburg
and Chester. Those having fractions OF
over 1000 are Newberry, Barnwell,
| Greenville and Pickens. Those over
5000 are Union, Anderson, Sumter,
Florence and Beaufort. Over 1000 are
Marlboro, Clarendon and Charleston.
| Add one to each of these and the fol-
lowing table will show the present
number of representatives each county
has and what it will have under an
apportionment based upon the last CEN

Impressed With Newberry.

Mr.. Robert Weidensall, Of Omaha,
Neb., who recently visited Newberry,
writes to the Lutheran Observer as fol-
lows:
"While in Columbia I learned that
Newberry College was but a few hours
distant, and I could not forego the
privilege of visiting it, and particularly
when I understood that my old friend,
Rev. Geo. w. Holland, Ph.D., D. D.,
was its president, and also another and
older friend, Rev. w. e. Schaetfer was
the pastor of the Lutheran church at
that place. I had a delightful visit,
and was royalty entertained the short
time I was there. Newherry and New.
berry College will henceforth occupy a
larger place in my mind and my heart
than ever before, The college has a
good reputation, and promises much
for the future. They have several fine
professors houses on the campus, and
are erecting another that will add very
much TO the appearance OF the whole
property. They have plain but very
good and serviceable college building:
with hlgn stories, ToolOy uaiis, SoI-
venient class-roons. fine society halls,
fair library room, and desirable doml-
tory rooms. In all it ;sa very credi:a1le
first-class college building. l am told
that this was the work of our veteran
Nebraska Lutheran preacher, Rev. H.

Omaha again. DR.. kuhns was very
kindly remembered bv MANY persons
in ard OUT of Newberry and we'll spoken
of by them for what he had done. l
was glad to hear it myself from the
persons themselves and I now take
pleasure in telling it publicly to the
readers of the Observer, for in this SER
vice DR.. Kuhns had done a good and
lasting service for the whole church,
which will continue to serve the church
long after he shall have been called
