Honolulu, March 1.-Affairs political
are now quiet in Hawaii. The summing
up of the returns shows that for al
practical purposes the coming legis
lature is composed mainly of those op
posed to missionary" influences and
who may be classed asLiberals.
Hon. II. P. Baldwin of the mission
ary" element has been selected by tina
| party as candidate ior president Of th'
Ehouse, while Gen. John S. Walker, Con
servative, will be backed by the Lib
erals.
The house meets in May next. G.
w. Ashford, ex-attorney-general. who
was elected representative from
one of the strongest missionary
wards, is now said to be disqualified by
reason, Of his not having resigned his
Office as notary public, the law holding
that such appointees are ineligible for
election as members of the legislature.
Ashford refuses to acknowledge the
validity of the law, and apparently be-
lieves his confreres will not object to his
taking his seat in the house.

bers of the family while the woman beat
him to death with a club. As result oi

UNION ABANDONED.

With Non-Union Labor.

With Non-Union Labor.
SAN Francisco, March S.-The situa-
ton at the shoe factories this morning
was practically the same, go far az the
progress of work is concerned. In only
one factory, that of P. F. Nolan, are
there any but what profess to be nom
union men. Calm, Nickelsburg & Co.,
have received list containing the sig
natures of thirty-nine of their operatives
certifying to their having withdrawn
from the union.
1t has been ascertained that at q spec
ial meeting of the union, held On Sun
day, a certificate bearing the regular
White Labor league stamp was issued to
all members in good standing, granting
them full and honorable discharge from
the union. From this, the conclusion
is drawn that the union has no mem
bership, and exists only on
the support of the men employed
in P. F. Nolan's factory, and
possibly few others in unattached fac
tories. In the meantime the boycott is
still in progress, but without much
effect, according to the manufacturers.
Last night when the brewery work
men were paid off, they were questioned
as to their union or non.union connec-
tions. A canvass of the principal
breweries this morning disclosed the
fact that at only three of the breweries
had there been any change resulting
from the employers demand. Individu-

Tom Moss and Will Stuart, leaders of
the negro gang, and rushing them out

them. They have undoubtedly been

negroes were hanged in the yards of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, back of
the jail. The names of the other two
are not learned. 1t is said the
jail doors were battered in,
but they do not show any
effects of hard usage. The mob knocked
on the big iron gate in the high stone
wall surrounding the Jail, and called
loudly for Keeper O'Donnel.
''What do you want?" asked O'Don-
mel.
"We have prisoner here; open the
gate"
"All right" And he came down and
opened the gate. He found himself
pushed aside, and while two of the mob
held him against the wall, the fellows

drew big pistol and shot Brannigan
twice, and as the latter fell upon the
sidewalk Smith placed the pistol to his
head and shot the third time. Branni-

his hand when shot the second time.

from jail and lynching him. Smith has
been making his home here for some
time. He was very officious about the

worth divorce sensation had it's first
inning today. E. S. Ellsworth, whose

last December, and she seeks to have

proceedings; that her signature to the
first notice of the case was procured by
fraud, she not knowing what she was
signing and that she and Ellsworth lived
together some time after he procured
such signature. His grounds for secur-
ing the divorce were that she for four
years had been consorting with persons
OF ill-repute, and receiving visits from
such persons at unreasonable hours.
