the lecturer and hostess the compliment

Paris Letter.


Advices from Hawaii confirm the pre-
vious reports that the new queen is pur-
suing an independent course, and that
she has surprised all adversaries by her
promptitude and energy in dealing with
political business. After her success in
overcoming the obstructive ministers
who were in Office at her accession. and
securing cabinet Of her own selection,
she proceeded to make such other official
appointments as indicated her determi-
nation to exercise her full constitutional
authority. BY her diplomatic tact she
has put an end to various intrigues, and
by her decision of character she has
overcome obstacles that endangered her
reign.
Queen Liliuokalani has recently shown
her ability to carry on negotiations with
other powers. She has held conferences
with her cabinet regarding the new com
mercial treaty with the United States.
and. if the reports from Honolulu are to
be credited, she has shown that she has
her own ideas as to the method of set
ting the questions nt issue.
The many manifestations of independ-
ence by the queen have confounded the
obstructionists, whose tactics are not to
be disregarded. But all Hawaiians are

TACOMA, June Especial. ]-Argument
in the site mandamus proceedings was
continued today in the superior court, At
torney Graves, for the defense, admitting
tacitly that the commission was not le-
gaIly appointed, but that they voted as de
facto officers of the state, and that their
acts in locating the site at Pullman was as
valid as if they had been properly ap-
pointed.
Mr.. Snively, for the plaintiffs. held in
his opening argument that any man or
body of men appointed by the legislature
to do q single act, at the conclusion Of
which. his or their existence in
authority would cease, were not in
legal acceptance officers, and could not be
considered such de facto or any other way.
He held that the federal congress delegates
to the Legislature had not the right to
select site, and that the legislatures act
in delegating this power was illegal. Al
though commission could be appointed
to select site, its selection would have to
be approved by the legislature before be-
coming legal and binding.
The argument will be continued tomor-
row. Judge Campbell viii probably take
a week in which to prepare decision In
the matter.

SPOKANE, June 5.-Passengers in from
Coulee City bring pa rticulars of a double
murder near Waterville, Wednesday.
-Four brothers, named vonBremen,
Germans. young men and unmarried, oc-
cupied two homesteads fifteen miles
northwest of Watervilie, on the Columbia
river. Two of the brothers had lately
arrived from Germany. The murderer
was named Jake. He committed the crime
with shotgun, and is still at large. The
remaining brother, who can speak very
little English, carried the news to neigh
Dor, who rode that night to Waterville.
The sheriff left at midnight with posse
in pursuit of the murderer, but so far
nothing further has been learned from
the scene.
John and Jake had been on bad terms
for some time, and would have nothing to
do with each other. The partition of their
stock had been one cause of contention.
Peter, the surviving brother, said that
Henry was plowing and had in his team
horse which belonged to Jake. The latter
came after his horse and quarrel ensued,
during which John rode up on his horse.
Peter, who was not far away, heard a
number of shots fired, and went up
to see what was the matter. He
found two of his brothers dead and
the third standing near. Jake told
Peter that he had killed his brothers and
was going away never to return, and di-
rected him to 60 and tell Mr.. Downey of
the affair. The murderer then mounted
his brother Johns horse and rode away.
A shotgun and revolver were left on the
ground. Both belonged to Jake. Every
barrel of each weapon had been discharged.
Jake's horse came back Thursday morn
ing, and his brother thinks he has COM
mitted suicide. 1t is learned that Jake
was wounded when he left

porters were barred out. The committee
announce that the stenographers-one
employed by the city and one by John
Dieringer, the principal witness against
the aceused-were pledged not to give the
newspapers access to their notes. At any
rate, the Globe published the proceedings
in full this morning.
The reporter Of the Ledger was instructed
to stay by the committee today until forci-
bly, elected from the room. The commit
teemen got very angry, and declared that
while the investigation was public thew
did not want the depositions male public
property for fear of prejudicing witnesses.
They shrunk from bouncing the newspa-
per man, and sought legal advice. Then
they dismissed the witnesses and ad-
journed subject to call.

did not think anybody ssaked even that
amount till her husband did so during the
second nights play.
Lord Coventry followed Mrs. Arthur
wilson into the witness box. His testi-
mony covered that gone over by the other
witnesses. Lord Coventry said that Gen.
era Williams and he had told the plaintiff.
after the accusations of cheating had been
made, that Lycett Green and one of the
gentlemen who had witnessed the acts
complained Of had announced desire to
be confronted with Sir William. ssbut.n
added witness slowly. aplaintiff did not
express any desire to meet Mr.. Green or to
be confronted with his accusers.n The
earl produced notebook in which he had
entered memoranda of the principal
events which took place at Tranbycroft
In september last. Sir Charles Russell
read the entry referring to the baccarat
scandal which had been made by Lord
Coventry. It was soon seen that the ac-
count In the book agreed in all the main
particulars with the evidence already pre-
sented upon behalf of the defendant. The
memoranda closed with the words: 81
was induced to recommend this course in
order to avoid scandal and in order to keep
the frince Of Wales out of it. I consid-
cred that had done my duty to society SO
far as the case permitted, by insisting
that the accused should never play cards
again" This concluded the case for the
defense, and Sir Charles Russell, in behalf
OF the defense, addressed the Jury,
Sir Charles severely scored Sir William
Gordon Cumming. He asked how plaintiffs
conduct could possibly be considered con-
sstent with innocence. The defendants.
he said, had been blamed for not at once
publicly exposing Sir William Gordon
Cumming if he ives really detected in
cheating. But the jury would admit that
it was too much to suggest that men
honorably believing themselves to be act
ing as plaintiffs friends should be treated
as coming into court and not believing
him guilty, because they did not issue
against him the unmercIful edict of ire
vocabie condemnation. Could any
thing be imputed to the witnesses to
justify the assumption that they were
not credible. He had not known in his
experience five witnesses who gave such
concurrent evidence, which was so abso-
lutely untouched by cross-examination.
At the conclusion of his address the court
adjourned till next Monday.
CARDIFF, June 5.--The Methodists of
South Wales today adopted a resolution

Prince OF Wales took part in games of bac-
carat at Tranbycroft. It adds:
We respectfully submit to his royal highness
