the substance of the telegram.
Mrs. PETER was almost Frustrated

Shortly after the senator received the

surprised when he sent down the sad
news. Shortly afterwards he received
reporter from whom he wished to get
some particulars of the accident. The

when the physicians in probing his

him nor did his features culver.
Bob was the first killed, and then
Graf fell, and next Joe Powers, which

wounded before but Kloehr's work was
what counted. Emmett had reached his

WASHINGTON, Oct 6--At last the
United States is in a position to estab-

Samoa During the ugly complications
there growing out of the claim of Ger
many to the supremacy on the islands
and after the destruction of the United
States station by the hurricane the old
concession to the United States of the
Pago Pago was revived and congress ap-
propriated 100000 for the establish
ment of coaling station at that place.
1t was necessary to acquire twenty
five acres needed for the station. It
was found there were numerous claim
ants for the ownership of the tracts of
land and to save controversy and time
the government was obliged to buy up
all the adverse claims, paying s., 600 for

VENEZUELA.

The Revolution Successful and the Govern
meat Overthrown-FIight of the Late
President.
WASHINGTON, Oct S.-Confrmation of
the report that decisive battle had
taken place between the government
forces and those of the revolutionary
party in Venezuela was not received at
the navy department until yesterday
when a dispatch came to Secretary
Tracy from Rear.Admiral Walker, COM
handing the United States vessels in
Venezuelan waters, saying:
ut is reported that an engagement
has taken place, resulting in the defeat
of the government and capture of the
Venezuelan commander-in-chief near
Caracas. Revolutionists will occupy
Caracas tomorrow"
This message was dated at La Guayra
and came to the navy department TWEEN
ty-four hours after it was fled. Short
ly after came another dispatch from
the admiral This was also dated La
Guayra last night and read as follows:
president and Venezuelan ministry
, have abandoned Venezuela. Revolu-
tionists successful
Both dispatches were in the naval
code, and as they were short they were
quickly transmitted and copies sent to
Acting Secretary Adee, of the state de-
partment, and to Secretary Tracy. The
officials of the navy department decline
to state whether or not any instructions
| were forwarded to Adm. Walker after
the receipt of the dispatches, but it is
said that message was Immediately

| dispatches have been received lately by
the state depar tment from Venezuela.
1t is known that messages were sent
to Adm. Walker by Secretary Tracy,
but their report is kept secret. 1t is
thought proba BILE that the next step
| will be the formation of a new govern
ment with Gen. Crespo at the head of
affairs. The statement that Consul
Hanna, while out in a private boat,
was fred at from the guns of Vene-
zuelan warship is thought to have been
an accident, as had the consul
been fired on out of hostility to
the United States either Minister
| Scruggs or Adm. Walker would GER
tainly have promptly notified the
| authorities in Washington. The United

country. There are two vessels there,

vette Kearsage, with the gun boat Con-
cord at Colon within easy reach should

are the only other countries having

| naval vessels will be kept there until
| all danger to American interests is over.

Hallway Business Increased Materially
During September.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. THE re-
ports of business done at Kansas City
by the railroads for the mouth OF
September show the largest tonnage
ever known at this point. The total
number of cars of freight of all
kinds handled out of here last
month was %, 266. This was the greatest
amount of freight handled during Sep
TENDER of any previous year. Once be-
fore the number of cars reached %. 600,
and again went a trifie over 20, 900, but
this year eclipses all previous records.
A significant feature of this show
ing is the unusual absence of cut
rates or charges of cut rates While
the wheat trade has been subjected to
some suspicion, there is nothing tangi-
BILE upon which to base the charges, and
for the railroads, as well as the shippers
of Kansas City, the showing is truly en-

THE ELECTION i'm GEORGIA.

The Peoples Party Got About Twenty

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct Georgia has
elected the democratic ticket by about
5000 majority.
Returns from seventy-five counties
out of a total of 1877 give the democratic
ticket a majority of more than 80, 000
There seems to be no possible doubt
that the majority will reach 1000
when the vote of all the counties is in.
The third partyites will probably carry
six or eight counties for the legislature,
and it is estimated that their strength
will be about twenty members of the
house out of 175

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct. Twelve
thousand people saw Nancy Hanks go
a mile in zoo at the fair grounds, New
Albany, Ind, yesterday afternoon.
The track was in excellent condition
and the little Kentucky queen was in
the prime of condition. She went two
exhibition heats early in the afternoon,
and it was nearly o'clock when Bud
Doble and the little mare came upon
the track.
At the first trial Abe Lincoln, the
queens running mate, ran into the
fence, but at the second Dotle nodded
his head and Nancy was off at her world
beating gait. She was to beat 2:07 and
few doubted she would do it. She went
to the first quarter in 30 3-5 seconds
After starting she flew by the three
quarter flag, never having been touched
by the whip. In the stretch Doble
tapped the little wonder several times
with the whip, and she came under the
wire in 200 fat.

TAHLEQUAH. I. T.. Oct. There was
only about one-half as many acres of
cotton planted this year as compared
with last year. The crop is excellent
and picking will begin here on the
10th. The top crop will be fine.
There has been no damage by boil
worm to impair the crop. The corn on
the uplands is good, but the crops in
the bottoms that were overzowed are
light. The replainting of the flooded
lands was too late to develop full stalks
and ears. Wheat sowing is now in
progress. About double the number of
acres will be sown as compared with
last years sowing

A Curse to Any Country.

Mr.. EDITOR The Louisiana
State Lottery was a gigantic
scheme for getting silly peoples
hard-earned money by holding
forth hope that for a few dollars
they might obtain fortune. The
result of course was loss and dis
appointment; but the profits of
the lottery were so immense that
they could afford to pay the State
millions of dollars to allow them to
carry it on. The good people of the
United States brought the power OF
the press to bear against the evil,
and finally Congress took up the
matter, and made it a misde-
meanor to send their documents
through the mails, and the lottery
was obliged to stop.
Strange to say this many-headed
Hydra, one of whose heads was cut
off in the United States, has in the
meantime grown again, and has
made its appearance in this "Para-
disc of the Pacific" and now GER
tain parties are offering large
amount of money to this Govern
ment if the Legislature will pass
the lottery bill. But will they dc
it? We think not. We have toe
good an opinion of them to think il
possible.
What would our good friends in
the United States think of our har
boring the reptile? We receiving
the money and they the sting.
Is this the kind return we woulo
make them for all the good they
have done us? KAMAIANA.

Mr.. EDITOR: The theory of gov
eminent intended to be established
by the Constitution of 1887 was that
of ministerial government. The for
mer constitution, giving to the SOW
ereign an absolute veto on legislation,
allowing members of the Legislature
to hold office under the Grown, ap-
pointed and removed at the pleasure
Of the sovereign, was natural out
growth of the primitive rule Of the
Hawaiian chiefs, who had absolute
SWAY over the serfs who constituted
in earlier days the Hawaiian "peo-
pie" True the King ''granted" con-
! situations, and laws were enacted by
his consent, which secured certain
general rights of the people, such as
the right to acquire, hold and trans
NIT property, jury trials, habeas cor,
pus, due process of law, Right OF
Petition and of Assembly, ''to consult
upon the common good"; restricting
the law making power to a Legisla

pointees of the Crown ministers ant

tives, elected by the people, anC
establishing Judiciary Department
controlled by a Supreme Court, tn
Judges of which, although appointed
by the Crown, could be removed onl
By impeachment, or on a two-third
vote of the Legislature, ''for goo
cause shown to the satisfaction c

. All this worked we'll enough for a
practical purposes as long as tn
: sovereign retained the old chief II
/ fuence over the natives, and We
t himself influenced by the aristocrati
element composed of high chiefs an
influential foreigners who had int
: married with Hawaiians or otherwi'
: acquired influence with the King ar
l his chiefs. The result was an artist
Z cratic form of government. Th
e however, ceased to have even SCI
l. blance of being as the old chiefs dl
off, and as the old serf traditions d
k appeared and lost their hold on t
