Hawaiians Want Annexation.

CHICAGO, Sept. Hon. L. S. Thurston,
Honolulu, who is in this city, said to q re
porter tonight the Mckinley bill has had
the effect of uniting the native and foreign
population Of Hawaii upon the subject Of
annexation. He has just received one Of
the native newspapers which advocates
the formation of republic or immediate
annexation to the United States This
fact is remarkable as this is the first time
in Hawaiian history that the natives have
publicly favored such thing. While it is
true they are wary of monarchy, yet moth
ing but the blow at HawaiI's sugar
industry could have brought them
to favor annexation. The hope of the
planters there is that the President will
next year exercise the executive power
given him to place duty again upon beet
sugar from such countries as have not re-
ciprocated with the necessary free entries
| This would relieve the burden, but at any
rate the Hawaiians are preparing TO nego-
tiate with the United States for free trade
Thurston says now that the sugar indus
! try is no longer a great source of income,
1T is intended to bring the islands promi-
| nently before the world as the land for the
| tourist

Cashier Banta Dismissed.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-The trustees of the
New York Life Insurance company at a
special meeting yesterday directed the dis
missal from the company's employ of
Theodore M Banta, the cashier who made
the charges of mismanagemeRt against the
president and trustees of the company four
years ago. The charges against President
Beers were not made public at the time,
but were recently published by the Times,
which has for some time been interesting
inself with the inside management of the
New York Life Since they were printed
Banta has been subjected to criticism from
certain quarters, but he was silent until a
few days ago, when he replied to the criti-
cism in lengthy letter, defending his
position and reiterating the charges of mis-
management and dishonesty on the part of
Beers. The reply of the board of trustees
TO this is his dismissal.

Worlds Fair Finances.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The national board of
commissioners of the Worlds fair and also
the lady managers will meet tomorrow.
One matter to come before the commission
will be the question of how to avoid de-
felt of about S23, 900 in the appropriation
for this year. Probably this will be
accomplished by cutting down salaries.
President Palmer already has agreed TO
give up his $1,000 salary and Director
General Davis voluntarily submits to cut
off s., 000 Twelve thousand more will be-
saved by dispensing with the April meet
ing.
A local paper says the finance committee
is considering a proposition to ask Con-
gress to make the fair management loan
of So, 1000, 600, taking mortgage on the re-
cepts. In any event, as the government
has provided for giving medals and juries
of award, Congress will be asked to ap-
propriate enough money for medals and
awards, $500, 600 to 100000.
Traffic Manager Jaycox has been ad-
vised by the Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany that all the lines which they repre-
sent will grant half rates on exhibits to
and from the exposition. The Southern
Pacific railway has made the same an
nouncement.
| Elliott F. Shepard, DR.. Patton, of Prince
ton college, General Howard and other
widely known representatives of the Sab =
bath union, arrived in the city tonight.
They will present to the national commits
sion a request that the Worlds fair be kept
closed on Sunday.

WAGNER IN PARIS.
Making Great Preparations fol
LOhengrin.
N. Mobisson of the National Conservatory Of
Music Says 1t Will Be success-Ihe
Event Awaited with Interest.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable
PARIS, Sept IN. Mobisson, secretary
of the Academic Rationale de la Muslque,
was asked to-day why the first perform
ance of 'Lohengrin," which was to have
been given Sunday night, was postponed.
NJ. Mobisson replied he was taking great
pains with the preparations for 'LOhen-
grim" but there has been some delay in the
rehearsals, costumes and other details, and
he did not think they would be able to pro-
duce the opera before September II, and it
might have to be postponed until Septem-
Der IA. He was asked if there were my
fears Of disturbance on the first night, as
has always been the case with the Wagner
opera heretofore, and which has prevented
q proper representation. He answered {:
"None whatever; not the least disorder is
expected. The Parisians look forward to
the production of 'Lohengrin' as a great
artistic event, and will not receive it in the
hostile spirit of 1857. when it was cried
down at the Eden theatre"
The financial success of the opera is
more than assured NJ. Mobisson showed
an immense pile of letters and dispatches
which he received to-day asking for seats,
and said that he had previously received
10000 similar applications. M. Mobison
may be little too sanguine, as a similar
state of things prevailed before the disas
trous performance of ''Tannhauser''In 1861.
The house was completely sold out in ad-
vance for four nights, and the case was
similar in 1887. The fac3 is artistic Paris
wants Wagner, but chauvinistic Paris
still hates him. 1t crushed the ''Thermi-
dor" of its own favorite play writer, Sar-
dou, and may again rise in its wrath and
destroy the "Lohengrin" of its German
enemy, Wagner.

The Davis VIII Case.

BUTTE, Mont Sept 1.-To-day's pro
ceedings in the famous Davis case were of
more than ordinary interest. The pro
ponent, John A. Davis, was on the stand,
also A. !. Davis, OF the First National bank,
q nephew of the late A. j. Davis, who testi-
fed that the signature to the alleged will
was genuine. BY the mutual agreement OF
counsel and the consent of the court
practical chemical test of the ink in the
alleged will took place in the presence of
the court and the jury. Only letter In
the body of the will and one letter in
each of the signature of the attest
ing witnesses, together, with por-
ton of the scroll line under
the alleged signature, were subjected to a
test. The contestants, through their eX-
perts, Harry Tolmap, of Chicago; David
n. Carralho and Daniel 7. Ames, OF New
York and DR.. William Z. Hogan, of Troy,
n. Y, have been testifying, claiming that
the will was written with nigrosin ink,
which was not known nor manufactured
until many years subsequent TO the time
the instrument was executed. They also
claim the signature of Sconce, the only
living witness to the will, was written
with iron ink. The tests to-day were con-
Quoted by B. l.. Tolman for
the contestants, while H. r. Hedges,
of Boston, late superintendent of
tests on the Union PaclnC system,
represented the proponents. About an
hour was consumed in making the tests
and taking the testimony of experts as &c
the result The tests showed conclusively,
and TO the satisfaction of the contestants
that the evidence given by Hedges, sew
eral days since, that not only the body OF
the will but all the signatures were writ
ten with logwood ink, which has been in
use for q period OF forty years; that opin-
-
and the result has caused sensation. The
court will present the case to the jury in {
few days, aud it is expected the result vii
be known about the 1th-instant.

A Chill for an Antf-C Conventional Sensation in
the Davis Will C8s1-The Ink Used
Was Made of lockwood.

ST.. LOUIS, Sept IA special from
Hutchinson in answer to the Republic, says;
Tic alliance scheme TO defeat the fore
closure OF mortgages on homesteads re-
ceived quietus as far as this judicial dis
trict is concerned in Judge Rouck's court
this morning. c. S. Clark, the lawyer who
has been sending circular letters TO the
effect that he could defeat mortgage fore
closures on homesteads, filed motion IN
the district court to have such fore
closures set aside. After speaking about
two hours on the constitutional rights OF
American citizens as laid down by Jerry
Simpson, Mrs. Lease and others, he was
coolly informed by Judge Houck that so far
as having case, if he had accepted fee
from his client on the representation that
he could prevent foreclosure on such tes-
timor,y and authority, he ought to be pros
ecuted for obtaining money under false
pretenses.

Gales sweeping Over England.

LONDON, Sept. Violent gales and
rain storms continue to sweep over Great
Britain and Ireland. Dispatches from
Dublin state that crops throughout the
province of Ulster are in pitiable condi-
ton and that in many parts of Ulster and
elsewhere they are almost entirely sub
merged. In other sections the crops are
completely destroyed.
of Ilfracombe, near Barnstable, Devon
shire, to-day during one Of the many gales
which swept over these ISLANDS recently, a
passenger steamer having hundred pas
sengers on board had narrow escape
from destruction. A succession of heavy
seas struck her, sweeping the decks,
smashing. in the salon sky lights and pour
ing tons of water down the companion
ways. So severe pounding the steamer
received by the waves that many OF the
passengers were severely injured of which
number six are in a precarious condition.

and fireman were held up at.the point of
the rifle. The fireman was relieved of a
fine gold watch and then forced to pick
the lock and break in the door of the bag

senger. The mail car doors were all
broken in, but nothing taken from the car.
Express Messenger Angel made deter
mined resistance and used his revolver to
good advantage, but whether anyone was
killed IS not definitely known. The
fight was fierce one though it
lasted only few moments. The masked
men then, under threat of killing him,
compelled the messenger to open the safe
from which the robbers took s., 1000
Horses were in readiness and as soon as
the robbery was accomplished the despera-
does fled to Wet Mountain valley. They
did not disturb the passengers.
A posse was summoned and left for the
scene at once. Trinidad was wired to for

running down several criminals. They
will be hurried to the scene on special
train aud put on the trail as soon as posi-
Bile. With the efforts being made it is
thought the robbers cannot escape.

little seven-year-oldd daughter were attacked
by negress, Mary Hewitt, who occupied
a tent IN Mrs. Ryau's yard. The negress

to beat her with broom. The sick mother
got out of bed and attempted to protect
her child, when the negress seized a Ratchet

arms in several places and cutting two deep
