Low PRICED SILVER.

The prico OF silver bullion is lower
in New York City than ever before.
There is doubtless ring which con-
OILS the market ind depresses the
price. Under the Sherman Com
modify Act the bullion producer is
seldom permitted to sell silver direct
to the Government. He is compelled
to dispose of his bullion Tor what the
ring feels disposed to offer him, and
tie ring sells it TO the Government.
S:lve. has sold below 80 cents an
ounce tubs week, a circumstance
which indicates that the spectators
in bullion have assumed that free
coinage bill will not become law at
this session Of Congress.
The masses OF the people in the
East chow that an educational cam
paign is as essentil on the sily or ques-
ton as it is on the tariff. Senator
Stewart and others gave them a few
lessons last year in the New York
papers, but not enough They should
be taught that the seventy cent"
dollars, as the gold men denominate
the standard dollars, will have fixed
value of one hundred cents il the
Mints are open to silver as well az

should be. 1t is infamous legislation

An Iuyeferafe Smoker.

Colonel Mckinley, the recently
deceased Hawaiian Consul, was
one of the best known men who
ever pressed a leathern-covered
chair in the Palace Hotel lobby.
He had lived at the Palace for
some years past, and every
evening he could be found in or
about the court, chewing the butt
end of cigar. [ never saw him
without cigar, or a big wad OF
tobacco in his mouth. About a
a week before his death, I said to
him: Colonel, you must smoke
as much as Grant did" ooh, old
Grant never smoked as much as |
do" he said, "I smoke all the
the time" So it seemed. He
must have consumed over two
dozen cigars and at least one plug
of tobacco a day. Such another
inveterate user of tobacco was
never known at the Palace. The
colonel resembles his famous
brother very much. He was a
somewhat reserved man, but often
told very interesting stories re-
garding his very varied expe.
riences. F. News Letter.

they would go to Guatemala, and If
not, they would return to their own
homes. Before the men were shipped
they were told that they would work
only four days a week, and enjoy
three holidays each week, the men TO

Sc. On the steamer the natives learned
that, according to their contracts,
they were 10 get only 50 a month,
and that made them dissatisfied, aud
they wanted to go back. The course
of the Montserrat was then changed
aud directed for Fanning's Island,
which was reached on August 18th.
After a brief stay, the Montserrat
proceeded for Guatemala, arriving
there about September 11th. Some
of the natives were landed at Ocos,
others at San Pedro. The natives
suffered intense cold when they
landed at Guatemala. Their cloth
ing was scanty. They walked on
foot sixty miles inland, where they
were wanted to work. The natives
not being used to cold, wept along
the road. It took them three days to
reach their destination. One Of them
died on the way, and MIR. Kapu
thinks that they will all die, as the
cold was too great for them to bear.
Chas. Kamakaloi, former printer
on the ADVERTISER, and son IN law
of Mr. Kapu, went with the natives

Reporter: "Were not the natives
furnished with warm clothing by the
steamer people?'
Kapu: mo warm clothing at all.
When they felt too cold they wrap.
ped themselves in their mats and
slept on the way The captain Of the
steamer, I was told, wanted to sell
me to a Guatemala planter, but the
planter declined to take me, saying
that he would get into trouble If he
took missionary in that way. was

Reporter: when did you aban-
don preaching in favor of trading!"
Kapu: In 1886. The facts as to
my conduct were misrepresented to
the Hawaiian Board and they dis
missed me. In order to support my
self I bought lands and planted
cocoauut trees. I continued preach

Reporter: "How large is your es-

Kapu: II believe 1 own between

trees growing, capable of yielding
5000 cocoanuts annually. l sold the
cobra to the traders at 1 cents per

UnbOunded Enthusiasm for the PeO'

Producing States.

The following dispatch to the South
ern Alliance Farmer has been kindly
furnished the Peoples Party Paper:
DENVER, COLORADO, July p.
The reception of General Weaver
and party in this city last night was
something wonderful. The old parties
in Colorado have practically disband-
ed, and the people are solid for the
Omaha nominees.
General Weaver's meeting at the
Coliseum was crowded almost to suffo-
cation, fully 5000 people being packed
into the building.
Every allusion to free coinage met
with rousing cheers, long and loud.
The Generals mastery argument
touching the sub-treasury plank was
cheered throughout by the entire audi
ence.
Mrs. Lease addressed the meeting
also, and in addition spoke to an over
flow meeting of fully 1000 people.
Colorado is solid for the Peoples
Party, and all the silver States will
follow her example. This brings all
the States west of the Missouri river
into our column.

1t is estimated that over one thou

the mountain and many hundreds more
in the lowlands, but the exact loss of
life is not known.
A week after the eruption had abated
t. he inhabitants were still in a state of
terror and would not approach the
scene of disaster. The island is now
threatened with famine, all crops hav-
ing been destroyed. The cocoa trees
are still standing, but their leaves and
fruit have been destroyed, and their
stems left bare. In many parts of the
island wells have become dry. The
Dutch authorities are doing the best
they can to alleviate the distress of the
people. A government steamer has
been placed at the disposal of the local
controller to distribute relief. Rice
and many doctors have been sent to
the island. The inhabitants, though
nearly demented with terror, are do
cile, and the authorities have met with
no disorder.

from Celebes, giving the details of the
recent eruption Of the volcano GunOna,
on Great Sangir island. The eruption
commenced at o'clock p. m, on a day
early in june, and was unheralded by
the slightest seismic warning. I'm
mense volumes of flames and smoke
and masses Of stone suddenly burst
from the volcano. Stones fell all over
the island, killing hundreds of natives,
who were busy in the fields getting in
the rice crop. Those who succeeded
in reaching the supposed shelter Of
their homes found no refuge, the
houses having been crushed beneath
the weight of falling stones and the
roofs having collapsed under the
weight of ashes, burying the inmates :;
in many instances, whole families.

ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION.
People of Some Counties of Texas Eat
ing Buds and Berries as Food.
V. A. STRICHLER,
Mem. Nat. Elk. Com.


Rio GRANDE CITY, TEX, July 81
There are no less than twelve thousand
people in the lower Rio Grand border
counties of Texas on the very verge Of
starvation. The rain which fell here
four weeks ago was the first in three
wears, but it was of no benefit. The in
tense heat of summer has evapOrated
every particle of moisture and the suf-
fering among the people for lack of
food and water is terrible to witness.
There are hundreds of MeXicans and
Americans in Starr, Zapata, and
Nueces counties who, for weeks past
have subsidized wholly on the mesquite
tree beans and cactus leaves and buds.
These are the only two species of vege-
tatiOn which have been able to with
stand the terrible drought. Even the
hardy live oak trees in the Nueces bot
toms have died and the indications are
that this section, which was few years
ago the garden spot of Texas, is to be
converted into a veritable desert. Thou
sands of head of cattle have died, and
those still living were shipped to
Indian Territory several weeks ago.
There are not over five thousand head
of cattle in these border counties. Be
fore the drought set in there were hun
dreds of thousands of head pastured
here each season. There have been
many appeals for food supplies for the
starving poor sent out from here, but
the responses have been very meager.
The people of Brownsville have joined
in petition to Governor HOgg for as
sistance. Their petition states that
many deaths from starvation are inev-
liable unless the people of Texas and
the country come to their relief.
