THE Kl q is DEAD.

Death Of the Monarch Of the Hawaiian
Islands Mt tho PaIacs Hotel In San
Francisco.
San FRANCISCO, Jan. 2O.-KSlakau,
King Of the Hawaiian Islands, died at
the Palace Hotel, in this city, at 2:sO
o'clock this afternoon. There had been
no hope Of tho Kings recovery since
Sunday, though his alarming ccndi-
ton was not generally known until
last evening when the attending physi.
clans announced that his malady was
Brights disease OF the kidneys and
uraema. During all last night death
was expected at any moment. He con-
tinued TO sink until 1880 this AFTERNOON,
and at 2:40 o'clock Medical Inspector
Woods, who was bending over the King,
announced that the last spark Of life
had fled. The Kings remains will be
embalmed at once. While no definite
arrangements have been made yet for
the funeral services here and the
removal OF the remains to the
Islands, It is probable that services
will be held in Trinity Episcopai
church on Thursday and that the re-
mains will leQve here for Honolulu on
the United States Algohip Charleston
before the close OF the week.
Kalakau became King OF Hawaii in |
February, 1874. His successor will be
his sister, Princess Libokalani, who has
been acting as Queen Regent during
Kalakau's absence from the Islands.

Oa tho Chicago s Lake Erie, Growing Out
of a Dispatchel's Discharge.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-The Chicago &
Lake Erie Railroad has serious strike
on its hands. The strikers are the con-
ductors and dispatchers. The strike
wasplanned to extend all along the road
from Ohicugo to Salamanca, N. Y. To.
day q committee Of four, representing
the Order Of Railway Conductors,
arrived from Huntington, Ind, and
went into conference here with the
compauy's officials. The results were
unsatisfactory 10 the committee and
they departed leaving an ultimatum
addressed to General Manager A. NJ.
Tucker, which, in effect, was q notice OF
an immediate strike.
W. u. Scott was dispatcher at Hunt
ington, Ind, and about month ago, it
is alleged, gave orders, which, II carried
out, would have resulted in collision.
The mistake is SAID to have been dis
covered in time to prevent IN accident
and Scott was suspended. The succeed
ing eVents leading up to the strike are
told In a letter from General Manager
Tucker, received by Train Dispatcher
z .isker, at Huntington, within the past
day or two.
The letter notes the dismissal Of
Scott outright and says: "Had my first
decision 10 the effect that Mr. Scott be
suspended for thirty days been accepted
there would have been no disposition to
change the decision and Mr.. ScotL's
reinstatement at the end Of that time
would probably have followed as mat.
ter OF course. But the very radical stand
taken by yourself and the conductors
and engineers, wherein you demanded
that Mr.. Scott be reinstated uncondi-
tionally, and thfestened seriops trouble
II the demand was refused, has led to q
more careful consideration OF the facts. "
Alter the dispatobGTs at Huntington
and elsewhere carried out their threat
and promptly quit work, 1t was under,

and freight trains in transit, which II
was said would run Through ~

patchers were affected. The engineers,
fremen and brakemen, he said, were
solicited to take part In the ltrike,
but refused. FHet thought that the
trouble wonld be OF short duration.
Scott, the discharged dispatcher, ia q
member OF the executive committee OF
the Order Of Railway Conductors.
This is the first strike Of any size to
occur on the Chicago 4 Erie, aud upon

paign is drawing to a close, The first
large beef issue under the new agent,
Captain Pierce, takes place tomorrow.
Efty.five hundred people will be fed.
One beef will be issued to every twenty
two people instead Of thirty as formerly.

Washington to set their case before the
Interior Department.
