HAWAIIAN TROUBLES.
The Cruiser Boston to Remain Longer at
Honolulu.

NEW YORK. Oct. 3.-A Washington dis
patch to the Herald says: According to late
advces received at the State Department
from Minister Stevens affairs on the Ha-
waiian Island are growing from bad to
worse.
Serious political troubles, which may de-
velop into revolution, are feared That
the State Department views the situation
with some concern Is shown by request
from Secretary Foster that the orders for
the cruiser Boston to leave Honolulu for
Acapulco. where she was to join
Rear Admiral Gherardi's special fleet,
be countermanded, and that the Alliance
be kept at Honolulu until after things be.
come more tranquil. The Navy Department
promptly acquiesced, and telegraphic in
stTuctonS to this effect were sent TO San
Francisco On Saturday last AMI are in the
mail which left by steamer for Honolulu
the same day.
The orders for the Boston to sail were
sent by the lliance. which left San Fran
cisco early last week, and it may happen
that the Boston will get off before the mail
steamer arrives with The ecountermanding or
ders. In that event another vessel will be
sent from San Francisco to join the Alliance
In looking after American interests in the
Hawaiian Islands.
The chief concern felt by the State and
naval officers at the situation in Honolulu
grows out of the possibility OF something
happening to destroy our chances of secur-
ing control of Pearl Harbor as a coaling
station.

IDAHO TAKES THE INITIATIVE.
Democrats and Popalists Will Combine
Everywhere in the West.

BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 3.-The Idaho Demo-
cratic committee to-day withdrew their
electoral ticket and Endorsed the electors of
the Peoples party. This is understood to
be in accordance with the general plan to
be pursued In number of Western States
under the advice of the Democratic Nation
al Committee. The Democratic committee
endeavored to obtain a concession for the
party's State ticket, bur this was refused.
The committee then concluded to withdraw
the entire State ticket except the Secretary
Of State, but this raised a protest among the
country candidates.
The Populists will IL Is said, cut their
own candidate for Secretary of State and
vote for the Democratic candidate. 1t is
expected that the Democrats will trade
their candidate for Governor and Congress
man and support the Peoples nominee.

vention of the Democrats OF Yuba and Sut.

FIGHTING FOR MORONGO PASS.
Is Mr.. Huntington Seeking to Head Oh
the Union Pacific z

Los ANGELES, Oct. 3.-News has reached
here OF the Incorporation of new railroad
company. the purpose of which, 1t Is be-
lleved, is to build line that is to form the
last link in the proposed Union Pacific ex-
tension to this city. The new corporation
calls itself the Riverside, San BernardIno
and Los Angeles Railroad Company. and
its purposes are said TO be to build q stand
ard-gauge road commencing at point in the
Morongo Pass, northeast of San BernardinO,
thence to San Bernardin0, thence to Cotton,
thence TO Riverside aud thence, in a direct
line, between the tracks of the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe roads TO this city,
The estimated length of the road is seventy
hve miles. The directors are: d. s. Dorm,
Samuel Miller, both of San francisco: NJ.
ii. Sherman of Arizona and r. j. Davis of
Alameda. The capital stock is $4,000, 600. Of
which $4,000 has been subscribed.
As road terminating in Morongo Pass
would practically open up no new country
would, in fact, be equivalent to commenc-
ing road here at all-it is believed In
well-informed circles here that there is
something much deeper than would appear
on the surface behind the new move. To
be sure. a line to San Bernardino from this
city would capture share in profitable
local traffic, bat that share would
scarcely justify the investment of the
amount of money needed-and, If IL Is
to be local road merely why build it into
Morengo Pass. Morongo Pass is one of the
most feasible routes for railroad over the
San BernardiDo range, a better route in
many respects than that via the Cajon, and
the Union Pacific has survey through it
already. 1t is for these reasons the belief
exists that the new road may form a link in
the Union Pacific extension to Southern
California now building toward Phoebe.
On tile other hand at least two of the oil.
rectors OF the new corporation are known to
be closely identified with the Southern Pa
cfic. and it is possible and very probable
that the new project is only scheme Of
Mr.. Huntington's for heading off the Union
Pacific by getting possession of the pass.

BOLD BANK.ROEBERS.
4 Clerks Bravery Prevents the Plunder'
ing Of an Erie Bank.

ERIE, Pa, Oct 3.-Tremendous excite
ment was caused In Erie to-day by daring
attempt to rob the keystone National Bank.
About 80 o'clock there were no custom
ers in the bank, and Assistant Cashier
Frank Kepler and Clerk Charles Liebel
were busy on the books when suddenly a
quartet Of tOugh-looking strangers came in,
revolvers in hand The strangers took posi-
tons at each window around the desks
within. and, pointing their revolvers at the
heads of the two clerks, told them TO throw
up their hands.
Instead of doing so Kepler snatched a
paper-weight and was about to deal the
fellow nearest him blow On the head when
two shots were fired by the intruders. One
bullet struck Kepler IN the left che5k in-
flctng a serious but not dangerous wound.
The young man fell fainting to the floor
and the robbers, becoming frightened, ran
from the bank and fed up Eighth street.
The shooting attracted a large crowd and
number of citizens gave chase. The rob
bers finding the pursuit too hot, turned on
their pursuers and opened ire, but forlu-
nately no one was injured.
Finally special officer, William Doeherl,
overlook the desperadoes and. after firing
one shot at him. they concluded 10 sur
render.
On being searched nine revolvers and a
collection OF knives and brass knuckles were
found on them. The prisoners gave the
names of John Courtney and c. II. Hawley
OF New York City and Dan p. Evans and
Charles w. Smith of Syracuse.
