The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Birth of
the New York Tribune.
New YORK, April 1O.-This is the
fftieth anniversary of the birth of the
New York Tribune and the event was
ittingly celebrated tonight by jubilee
at the Metropolitan opera house. The

gramme worthy of the occasion was
rendered. Addresses we're made by
William Mckinley, Jr., Chauncy M. De
Pew, Charles A. Dana, Roswell M. Dorr
ard George William Curtis. An origi-
nal poem was read by Edmund Clearance

composers. These composers whose
talent was thus brought forward to help
in the "gold" celebration were H.. h.

Arthur Foote, G.. W. Chadwick and
Dudley Buck. Men eminent in walks
of public life occupied boxes, and seats
on the stage, and the fair sex was we'll

families. Blaine sent a letter of regret.

THE CARD.
Tho Coke Operators Evicting the Strikers
From Their House.

h Coke Operators Evicting tho Strikers
From Their House.
SoorrDALE, Pa, April 14.-The
dreaded evictions that have threatened
here for a long time, began to-day in a
most determined way. The Aver and
McEnery families at Morgans we're
thrown out OF their houses, and their
poor furniture piled in the road while a
great crowd Of strikers silently watched
the proceedings. The two men who
we're evicted have been conspicuous as
taking active part in all labor demon
strations. Evictions were also carried
out at Summit and Adelaide, and the
scenes on the roads tonight are likely
to be repeated a hundred-fold, as sthe
managers of the great Prick firms say
the strikers cannot live in the company's
houses. Tonight the operators say the
strikers are w~avering and breaking at a
number of plants, and that eviction mott
ces have been fairly showered at the
Painter and other works. This is a
powerful weapon in the hands of the
operators, and it looks as if they
are now playing their las5l.and
winning game against the Hs%,4ssan.
The Infatuated crowd of foreign strikers
attacked the houses of several men who
had returned to work at the Trotter plant.
Windows and doors we're smashed and
the inmates we're obliged to appeal to the
deputy sheriff for protection. A woman
was badly injured, but the crowd with
drew before doing any other damage.
Over thirty warrants have been issued
and the rioters we're being arrested TO-
night. The strikers say women led the
mob. Bankers here say a steady run
has been going on eve since the strike.
The Hungarians are drawing out their
money and going home. Some has as
high as $4,000 to their credit and say
they will be considered wealthy in their
W country.

BOLD BUSINESS.
The Kansas Alliance Propose to Build
Railroads Through the State.

The Kansas Alliance Propose to Build
Railroads Through the State.
KANSAS CRY, April 10.-Sipce the
farmers alliance has taken hold Of affairs
in Kansas, many surprising things have
been done, but the most unique and dar-
ing plan which has been evolved by that
body is reported the scheme to
build a trunk line across the state. It is
said that this proposition will be made
the issue of the next political fight in
Kansas. The plan is for the state gov
eminent to construct a trunk line about
$50 or 800 miles in length and for the
counties to build a network Of branch
es that will touch every point in the
state. It is said the right of way privi-
leges would be donated in every instance.
Frank McGrath, president of the Kansas
alliance, was in the city to-day. When
asked about the plan he was very reti-
cent, but admitted that such a scheme
was under consideration by the alliance.

we're abiding in peace Of the United
States and obeying the laws thereof ana

public officers charged with the duty OF
protecting life and property in that city
connived at the work of the mob, or
upon the proper notice or Information OF
the Threatened danger, failed to take
any steps for the preservation OF pubic
peace, and afterwards to bring the guilty
to trial, the president would, under
such circumstances, feel that the case
was established and that it should be
submitted to the consideration of con-
gress with the view to the relief OF the
italian subjects who had lost their lives
by lawless violence"

Further Evidence Regarding the Attempt
to Blow Up h shufeldt D%istillery.
CHICAGO, April 11.-Investigation into
the alleged plot to blow up with dyna-
mite the distillery of H. H. Shufeldt of
this city, by Secretary Gibbon of the
whiskeyitrust, was continued to-day by
the federal grand jury. Government
Gauger Dewar whom, it is alleged, Gibbon
sought to bring into the plot, Detective
John Bonfeld and several other persons
we're examined. It is said the govern
ment has evidence to show that material
for the explosive compound which was
to have been used were bought at Col
burn & Birk's drug store in Peoria and
that the compound was made in the lab
oratory of the trust at Peoria. The gov
eminent officials claim the trust has been
using large amounts of money to buy
off witnesses before the grand jury and
they hint that some of the witnesses who
have been examined will be prosecuted
for perjury.

Kentuoky's New Constitution.

LOUISVILLE, April 1.-THE Kentucky
constitutional convention to-day COM
pleted the constitution to be submitted
to the people and adjourned at 1910 p.
NJ, after being in session 1919 days. 1t
has cost the state about 100000 and
made very many changes in the old fun
damental law Of the state. Some of
these are recognized as wise; but very
many are untried and are considered of
uncertain benefit. On account of the
latter the new constitution will be OPP
posed by many strong public men and
may be rejected by the people when
voted upon in August.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 15.-When
the presidential train reached here at
$50 o'clock this morning, fully 2,OO0peo-
pie were assembled at the station. A sa-
Lutte of thirteen guns was fred as the
president descended from the steps of
the train in the Union depot, of the
largest in the south. The heavy pillars
of the depot we're draped with the nation
al colors, and weaved in evergreens
above the main exit to the street were
the words. "Welcome to President Har-
rison." The electric cars, complete
ly covered with flags and bunting,
awaited the party a half block from the
Carter street entrance Of the depot, and
from the depot arch to the cars two lines
of policemen we're drawn up in full uni
form. The reception committee num-
bered fifty and was composed of leading
citizens and representative colored men.
The party remained a few moments on
Lookout mountain. The day was es-
pecially desirable for a grand view. The
cars we're again boarded and the party
returned to the city, where carriages were
in waiting, and the party were driven
through the principal streets. With few
exceptions the business houses along the
line of the presidents route were hand
somely decorated, flags and bunting float
ing from every window. The public
schools had been given a holiday, and
the children were drawn up in line on
McCollie avenue, waving flags. The
stand from which the president spoke
and where he held a general reception
was p~rofusely and Hastily decorated. At
100 the train left for Atlanta.

4 VERY singular case Of alienship has
occurred recently, in Nebraska, in the
election of Governor Boyd. He was born
N Ireland, his father migrating to
America when the son was only six
years OF age. The father subsequently
became naturalized and citizen. The
ooy grew up in the West, and when
Nebraska was admitted as a State, all
male citizens were admitted as voters,
and he was subsequently chosen Cover
nor. Suit was brought against him as
an alien.
THE Court ruled, among other
things" says Bradstreet, "that under
the fourth section OF the Act OF Congress,
entitled An Act to establish uniform
rule OF naturalization, approved April
=, 1902, the child OF an alien under
twenty-one years OF age, though born in
. foreign country, becomes a citizen by
the naturalization OF his parents, if dwell
ing within the United States at the
time the parent is admitted to citizen
ship. but it does not have that effect
i the child is over twenty-one years
old al the time the parent is ma
turalized that the order OF Court
admitting an alien to citizenship is a
judicial act in the nature OF judgment,
and can be proved only by record that
the fact that an alien has for many years
voted at elections held in this State and
filed important public offices does not
establish that he is a citizen of the
United States, and that the alien in
habitants OF the territory Of Nebraska at
the time OF its admission as State did
not become citizens OF the United States
py virtue OF the Act OF Congress admit
ing the State into the Union"

THE RAINFALL.

The table OF rainfall for May, for which
We are indebted to the kindness OF Mr..
Lyons, and which was published yester-
day, showsa drought not only in Oahu
out throughout the group which is un-
usual OF not wholly unprecedented.
Comparing the rainfall of last month
with that OF the same month in former
years We find that the O.36 inches in
Honolulu this year stands against an
average 1856 for the five years from 1873
70 1877 inclusive, and 7.15 for 1886 and
1887.
During the five years quoted above,
May was the rainiest month of the year
twice, and only once was there less than
an inch.
In 1889 there fell at Mr.. w. W.
HALLS, which we will call " lower Nuu-
ANU" 1.s9, and in 1SS9-90 2.61, while
last month O,76 was registered.
OF four posts of observation on Maui,
the greatest rainfall was recorded at
Huelo, being 4.39 for 1889, and the
greatest this year is at Kula, but only
l.60.
In Hawaii, at Kailua, for May, 1889,
there fell 6.25 inches; in 1SS9-9O, 6.SS,
and this year 2.2S. In Kauai, at Lehue,
there was $50 in May of the earlier
year, ia in the latter and O.51 last
month.
Another curious fact about the weather
OF last month and this June as far it has
gone, is the frequency of fresh, steady
southerly winds with heavy threatening
clouds, which have passed away without

A New Way to Raise Revenue

MR. EDITOR: When one is far from
home and in a strange land, seeing only
strange faces, it is with pleasure that an
old acquaintance is found, and SO 1t was
when in the editorials of two of the local
papers l saw the old familiar words in
regard to licensing evils that are not en-
tirely suppressed by law. The same old
argument that has been printed for the
instruction of the American people for
years,-so long as you cannot entirely
suppress an evil by prohibitory law,
why then license it. and get good rev.
'enue out of it. How this plea does
travel! And away off here, on these
beautiful islands in mid-ocean. it pops
up just the same as amid the frost and
SHOWS of America.
Now l am becoming convinced
that there must be something in
this theory, or it would not find
lodgment in every part OF the
globe; and am convinced that if it is
a true theory, that here is the best place
to properly test the question, because,
Mr.. Editor, there is great differ
ence of opinion on the subject. When
one man saws that if you cannot entirely
suppress an evil, then license it, and
not do that in which you can be only
partially successful, another man will be
found who says that If thing is

THERE probably never has been an
epidemic so universal as the present one
Of influenza or grippe" as it has been
termed. No country appears to have
been spared, while in some places,
especially in large cities OF Europe and
America, the fatality has been very
great. II as many deaths had been
caused by cholera or yellow fever, there
would have been a panic. Here the
disease has fortunately been mild though
among the natives many deaths are re-
ported throughout the group.
